Robot Bonney responded respectfully: <Yes! Master!>

Shortly after, a transparent white crystal ball with a seal in it’s center was brought by a bladed robot.

Robot Bonney said: <Please put your hand on this crystal ball! This crystal ball will test your soul aptitude.>

Yang Feng placed his hand on the crystal ball and pressed softly.

The crystal ball flickered with a weak white light.

Robot Bonney said: <Master, your soul aptitude for cultivation is inferior level-1. According to Bonney’s memories, with your soul aptitude, unless you transplanted the bloodline of a formidable life form or used a lot of extremely precious elixirs that can strengthen the soul aptitude of cultivators, it will be extremely difficult for you to cultivate until an official level-1 Warlock in your lifetime.>

“So I’m a waste!” Yang Feng’s mouth twitched. He had anticipated that his cultivation aptitude wouldn’t be too good, yet he hadn’t imagined that it would be so rotten. Inferior level-1 was the bottom of the barrel in the Turandot Subcontinent. Even the cultivation aptitude of a random peasant may be better than his.

He asked: “Can you concoct soul aptitude strengthening elixirs?”

<Bonney wasn’t a Pharmacist! Although he had some rough knowledge of pharmacology, but he could only refined some basic elixirs. He didn’t have the ability to refine soul aptitude strengthening elixirs. As I succeeded his memories, I can only refine some basic elixirs. I’m incapable of refining level-1 elixirs. Additionally, soul aptitude strengthening elixir formulas are grasped by major forces. There was no such elixir formula within Bonney’s memories.>

Yang Feng asked expectantly: “I want to become a Warlock, what would be the best course of action to achieve that?”

Bonney was an official level-1 Warlock who lived for over 100 years in the Turandot Subcontinent, so he was far more knowledgeable than Yang Feng. With an official level-1 Warlock, who was like a small cultivation encyclopedia, on hand, he could avoid a lot of detours.

An official Warlock was far more knowledgeable than an Apprentice Warlock. It could be said that the gap between an official Warlock and an Apprentice Warlock was like a chasm.

<The Warlock College Antalya, White Elephant Ivory, Eyes of Justice, Rose Garden, Savage Claws, and Black Dragon Tower, these are the six strongest Warlock groups of the Turandot Subcontinent. They are also the Warlock groups with the most complete Warlock inheritances. Among them, the Warlock College Antalya has the most comprehensive foundation with the most open-minded education style. Master, if you join the Warlock College Antalya, you may get the chance to receive a formidable Warlock inheritance.> Robot Bonney replied.

Yang Feng creased his brows slightly and asked: “You can’t teach me?”

<The best Warlock inheritance of the Black Cottage can be cultivated until a level-3 Warlock. However, it requires a superior level-6 soul aptitude as well as huge quantities of cultivation resources to be able to cultivate until that level. With your inferior level-1 soul aptitude and assuming that there are no accidents, there’s virtually no hope for you to promote to a level-1 Warlock by cultivating the Warlock inheritance of the Black Cottage.> Robot Bonney answered.

Yang Feng creased his brows and tapped his index finger on the desk, contemplating: “The Warlock College Antalya?”

The Fernandro Principality’s backer, the Fernandro Family, was on friendly terms with the Warlock College Antalya. Now that he greatly offended the Fernandro Family, he might have to face some challenges if he wanted to join the Warlock College Antalya.

Robot Bonney said: <Master, Bonney has a treasure from a taboo stone. That treasure will be of great help on your Warlock path.>

Yang Feng asked curiously: “Taboo stone?”

Robot Bonney explained: <Taboo stones are seal stones created by Alchemists of the 2nd Warlock Dynasty. Reportedly, they are able to seal any being. The 2nd Warlock Dynasty used a great number of powerful life forms like humans, fiends, devils, gods, giants, dragons, and various other powerful life forms from other planes to carry out a variety of taboo research and produced numerous terrifying freaks as well as formidable secret treasures. Before the 2nd Warlock Dynasty was annihilated, it sealed many freaks and secret treasures within taboo stones.>

“The 2nd Warlock Dynasty?” Even though Yang Feng obtained the memories of some Apprentice Warlocks, but he had yet to grasp the knowledge therein. Thus, he was completely in the dark with regards to the history of the Turandot Subcontinent and the like.

Bonney continued: <From the rise of Warlocks until now, there has been a total of eight Warlock Dynasties. Whenever a Warlock Dynasty flourishes, the humans forces of this world would conquer numerous planes. Formidable Warlocks can even subjugate fiends and enslave gods. They would capture fiends and gods from other planes and use them as top alchemical materials.>

<The Turandot Subcontinent is merely an ancillary subcontinent of the continent. In the Turandot Subcontinent, the strongest people are merely at the Great Warlock rank. In the continent, however, there are first-rate powerhouses above the Great Warlock rank.>

<According to Bonney’s memories, the Turandot Subcontinent’s strongest 6 Warlock groups – the Warlock College Antalya, White Elephant Ivory, Eyes of Justice, Rose Garden, Savage Claws, and Black Dragon Tower, are secretly backed by formidable forces of the continent.>

Yang Feng’s eyes flashed with graveness, and the excitement he felt from capturing the Black City faded by a lot: “So, the world is much larger than I expected.”

He said: “Take me to where the treasure from the taboo stone is.

<Yes! Master!> Led by Robot Bonney, Yang Feng arrived at the underground floor of the Warlock tower.

A a wide plaza was in the underground floor of the Warlock tower, and in the middle of the plaza was a huge blood pool. The edges of the blood pool were engraved with numerous runes brimming with a mysterious power. Around the blood pool, there were nodes inlaid with blood-colored crystals as well as magic stones brimming with a mysterious power.

In the middle of the blood pool was a transparent crystal basin, and in the transparent crystal basin laid a huge egg engraved with various profound and mysterious runes.

The blood pool churned and roiled, and strands of bloody gas rose from it, and then merged with the huge egg. The huge egg occasionally issued heartbeats like a huge heart. Every time a heartbeat sounded, the plaza would surge with a small fluctuation of energy.

Robot Bonney introduced: <This is the treasure that Bonney got from the taboo stone! He was going to turn the life form inside the egg into his contracted beast. In order to hatch the life inside the egg and have it brim with vitality, he arranged this alter and performed a blood sacrifice ritual by killing 1,376 virgins. The sacrifice ritual has practically been completed, and all that remains is to contract the life form inside the egg. In five days, the life form inside the egg will hatch and be born.>

<However, only official level-1 Warlocks can tame contracted beasts. Master, as you don’t have any foundation as a Warlock, you can’t sign a soul contract with the life form inside the egg through normal means.>
