More than a dozen soul crystals rolled to the ground and were finally blocked by the energy wall of the magic prison.
Sensing the pure soul energy contained within these crystals, the evil spirit could no longer remain calm. The soul energy contained within these crystals was incomparably abundant. If the soul crystal beneath that person's feet contained this much soul energy, then it would be a number that would drive people crazy!
The evil spirit pounced forward and passed through the magic prison it had cast. It grabbed the soul crystals on the ground, and with a flash of red light, the magic crystals disappeared.
After absorbing a soul crystal, the evil spirit's expression became crazed and twisted.
The soul crystals in the hands of demons were not pure enough. If the evil spirit absorbed too much too quickly, it would go crazy from the contamination. However, this soul crystal did not contain a trace of impurities. This meant that it could absorb this sea of soul crystals in one go without any side effects.
If it could absorb so much soul energy in one go, it might be able to evolve into a true legendary evil spirit.
The evil spirit raised its head and looked at the mountain of soul crystals in the spatial gate, its eyes filled with uncontrollable greed.
At this time, Feng Chou grabbed another handful of soul crystals from the mountain of soul crystals without hesitation and threw them at the evil spirit's face.
The evil spirit did not seem to notice Feng Chou's insulting actions at all. It stared unblinkingly at the pile of soul crystals under Feng Chou's feet.
Finally, the evil spirit's eyes glowed with a blood-red light. It had finally lost its mind and plunged into the Tower of Universe!
The essence of an evil spirit was actually the strengthening of a specter through magic rituals. The biggest weakness of a specter was its obsession and madness. Too strong of an obsession would make it difficult for the evil spirit to control it.
The complete version of an evil spirit had almost all of its obsession removed by magic rituals, becoming rational and gentle. Under the effect of binding and controlling magic circles, it could perfectly carry out its master's orders and would not easily fall into madness. Compared to the inflexible golems, they were the most powerful fighters of an arcanist.
If this was a complete evil spirit, it definitely would not have lost its mind so easily due to Feng Chou's temptation. Unfortunately, it was not a complete evil spirit.
The simplified version of the evil spirit's obsession was not completely removed, and it was easier for it to fall into a state of madness. This was probably the main reason why this evil spirit lost control and caused the Chapman family's disaster.
This information was summarized by Qiankun Pagoda from the Book of Lesser Evil Spirit Rituals.
Feng Chou took advantage of the instability of the simplified evil spirit and used a large number of soul crystals to lure and stimulate it. He hoped that this kind of stimulation would cause it to fall into a frenzy. Once it lost its mind, no matter how powerful it was, it would be easy to deal with.
It turned out that he had made the right bet.
After entering Qiankun Pagoda, the evil spirit was instantly suppressed by the Golden Light of Kun. Qiankun Pagoda told Feng Chou that in terms of strength alone, this evil spirit was no match for the Arcane Steel Golems on the second and third floors of the Arcane Tower.
After the evil spirit was suppressed, the magic prison imprisoning Qiankun Pagoda naturally disappeared.
At this time, Feng Chou had the time to let Qiankun Pagoda carefully scan this strange hall.
Activating Arcane Vision, Qiankun Pagoda scanned and found that in this huge octagonal space, the eight walls, the ceiling above, and the floor below were all shining with a strong magical light.
The hall was completely surrounded by these ten magic circles.
The effects of these magic circles all pointed to the high platform in the center of the hall.
Qiankun Pagoda compared these magic circles with the contents of the Book of Rites and quickly determined that this was the place where the evil spirit ritual was held. These magic circles were used to strengthen the evil spirit and also to bind the evil spirit.
The evil spirit could not leave this magic circle, otherwise it would fall into a state of weakness.
Qiankun Pagoda had already verified this point. When he closed Qiankun Pagoda's spatial door to the outside world, the evil spirit immediately withered. After opening it, it gradually began to recover.
Next, Feng Chou controlled Qiankun Pagoda to thoroughly search the castle. After making sure that he did not miss anything, he drove Qiankun Pagoda away from Chapman Castle and returned to Wood Manor.
The next day, Feng Chou opened the door of the magic laboratory that had been closed for a long time and returned to the manor. He told Chapman that he was going back to Adonis and asked him to prepare a carriage.
Feng Chou told the steward that he might be away for two to three months and told him to look after the territory well.
Chapman quickly arranged the carriage.
After returning to Casablanca, Feng Chou sent the coachman away and called for a rental carriage. He went straight to Soth's Eye Arcane Street.
After Qiankun Pagoda leveled up, Feng Chou used the remaining low-level materials to create hundreds of low-level magic items.
Feng Chou wanted to sell all these magic items. He wanted to buy the magic materials that might be used for necromancy experiments, as well as some common low-level alchemy materials.
After a busy afternoon, Feng Chou, who kept changing his appearance, turned the hundreds of low-level magic items in his hands into the magic materials he needed.
That night, he wandered in the slums of the Southern and Northern Districts for the rest of the night and kidnapped some criminals who were full of evil to Qiankun Pagoda.
Before dawn the next day, Feng Chou left Casablanca, turned into a Green Owl, and went straight to Chapman Castle.
Nobody knew that from that day onwards, a sorcerer lived in Chapman Castle. He used the laboratory under the castle that was still functioning normally and started to study necromancy.
After returning to Chapman Castle, Feng Chou used the merit points he had just received to increase his intelligence by five points before he started to study magic.

… …
At this time, Feng Chou suddenly regretted that he had exchanged for so many Soul Crystals that day. In order to increase his intelligence to 35 points, in addition to spending ten merit points, he had also spent more than 130,000 points of soul power, reducing Qiankun Pagoda's reserve to less than 10,000 points of soul power.
After increasing his intelligence, Feng Chou entered Qiankun Pagoda, activated Time Acceleration, and started to study intermediate necromancy spells.
After reaching a terrifying 35 points of intelligence, Feng Chou felt that even if he was learning intermediate spells, success would come naturally.
This was not surprising. With 35 points of intelligence, even among sorcerers, he was a super genius. For sorcerers, such a high talent was already qualified to pursue the path of Legendary. Learning intermediate spells was naturally child's play.
In the following days, Feng Chou divided his time in Qiankun Pagoda into three parts: one for rest, one for studying magic, and one for training his spiritual power.
