The blood fog settled, and the corridor was silent.

Noland Lee raised his hand, selecting a few relatively intact aberration corpses to serve as his undead minions.

As he directed the aberration undead to clean up the battlefield and collect the spoils of war, he checked the system messages from earlier.

[You have eliminated Blackbone Hermit Kodar, Rust Insects, Venomous

Hornets, Bell Beetles, Winged Centipedes, Hooked Bamboo Bugs, and

Self-Destructive Armored Beetles.]

[Passive Deconstruction activated!]

[You have obtained the following deconstruction results:]

First Order Black Bone Alchemist, as well as standardized panel information for various alchemy beetles.]

Recent important memories of Blackbone Hermit Kodar.]

A total of 6700 Energy Points. 6000 points for unlocking the standard panel of “First Order Black Bone Alchemist”; 700 points for unlocking the panel information of various alchemy beetles.]

“I have so much Energy Points now- I can’t spend them, I just can’t spend them

Noland Lee was secretly delighted as he used his gloved hands to collect soul fragments from the indistinguishable remains in front of him.

[System Message: Soul Absorption activated successfully!]

L ruu nave cumecueu soul [Soul Strength +40 points.] [Current Soul Strength is 122 points.]

“Refreshing! Haha!”

Noland Lee chuckled quietly.

The soul strength consumed by the Evil Explosion Technique had been fully recovered!

The soul strength required for meditation was also sufficient!

This pleasant surprise was beyond Noland Lee’s initial expectations.

He originally thought he would have to enter the underground area once again to gather enough soul strength needed for meditation, never would he have thought that he had collected enough just now.

“Good, very good. I’ll quickly collect the spoils of war from the site and then return to break through my ‘Spirit’ to 20 points. Then, I’ll be able to understand most of the basic alchemy-related materials.”

Noland Lee focused and directed his undead aberrations to clear the battlefield with full force.

He instructed the aberration undead to separate the corpses from the spoils of war.

All corpses were swept into the vertical shaft to destroy the evidence and traces of the death-related spells he had cast.

As for the spoils of war, Noland Lee checked each one carefully to ensure there were no potential hazards before handling them.

“Isn’t this Kodar’s black bone fragment? They actually remained intact after the explosion of the Evil Explosion Technique, how strange.”

Noland Lee picked up the black alchemy bone fragments with his gloved hands from the ground.

He originally thought that when Kodar died, his black bone fragments would vanish into thin air.

But now, the alchemy array on these black bone fragments had disappeared, yet the bone fragments themselves remained intact.

Noland Lee realized that these black bone fragments were not as simple as he had initially thought.

He pulled up Kodar’s panel information and carefully read through it once.

All the truths were revealed.

It turned out that these black and tough alchemy bone fragments were actually the unique “Alchemy Stone” materials used by Blackbone Hermits!

The book ‘Basic Alchemy Theory’ stated:

“When a learner enters the Spirit Soul Transposition Ceremony Array/Formation, draws out a portion of their own ‘Spirit’ and ‘Soul’, and integrates them into the ‘Essence and Soul Container’ provided by the Alchemy Cathedral, they can create an ‘Alchemy Stone’.”

From then on, modifying the ‘Alchemy Stone’ would be equivalent to modifying one’s own ‘Spirit’ and ‘Soul’.”

In the Blackbone Secret Society, the Blackbone Hermits infused their Essence and Soul into black bone fragments to create their unique ‘Alchemy Stone’.

These black bone fragments served as the Essence and Soul Containers for the Blackbone Hermits!

The Alchemy Cathedral-provided Essence and Soul Containers have a smooth, cobblestone-like appearance and are indestructible.

Though the Blackbone Secret Society’s Essence and Soul Containers are dark bone fragments, they are also equally indestructible and made from rare materials.

This resulted in the situation where Kodar had died, but his black bone fragments remained unharmed.

Once Noland Lee understood the cause and effect, he suddenly had an idea.

Since the Blackbone Secret Society could create their own alchemy stones, this meant that they had mastered a complete Spirit Soul Transposition Ceremony Array/Formation.

This meant that the extraordinary ceremony of Spirit Soul Transposition was not exclusive to the Alchemy Cathedral, and others could replicate it as well.

If he were to start a business in the future, providing specialized Spirit

Transmutation services to others, wouldn’t that mean he’d make a fortune…

A gleam flickered in Noland Lee’s eyes, but he quickly hid this lucrative opportunity deep within his heart.

Without sufficient strength, privately providing Spirit Transmutation services would undoubtedly provoke the Alchemy Cathedral.

This would be a suicidal act.

Just look at the situation of the Blackbone Secret Society.

From Kodar’s memories, it was clear that these self-proclaimed “hermits” had a hostile and deeply-rooted resentment against the Alchemy Cathedral.

Due to the Alchemy Cathedral’s powerful strength, the Blackbone Hermits had no choice but to hide in the deepest part of the Fissure Corridor, using the alchemy devices to collect aberration feces as a bargaining chip to force the Alchemy Cathedral into a stalemate and not dare to launch a full-scale attack to cleanse the Black City.

There were no memories in Kodar’s mind about who the higher-ups in the Blackbone Secret Society were.

However, from his personal experiences, the Black City was a dark, resource-scarce, and chaotic place.

There were many illegal forces like the Blackbone Secret Society in the city.

Each of them had different interests, but they had one thing in common: they all had the same enemy – the Alchemy Cathedral.

In order to better cope with the pressure from the Alchemy Cathedral, the illegal forces in the Black City had planned a dangerous and daring operation!
