Chapter 87 Spiritual Body
“hi! It’s Yebin!”
“Oh, Mr. Yebin. hello… … !”
Then even Choi Hye-yeon raised her hand and said hello.
Kim Ye-bin tried to ignore the stinging gaze she felt from the side and approached President Shin. I was more than happy to see the president’s greeting.
“what’s the matter. Didn’t you say you went to the academy?”
“I came for practice. There is a goblin hunting practice on the second floor today… … !”
“Oh, yes? Are the 3rd graders really practicing?”
“Not from the third grade, but from the first grade… … !”
Kim Ye-bin was good at talking. Having fought together while catching an ancient spiny slime, we became very close. Then Lee Hee-yeon and Lee Min-ho also approached, and Choi Hye-yeon approached as if she could not escape. Looking at it like that, it became like Kim Ye-bin was surrounded.
“Yebin, if there is a problem on the second floor, tell this unnie! I’m going to fix your quirks, okay?”
“yes! thank you… … !”
“Hee-yeon eats a little there. Shouldn’t it be too dangerous to go all the way to the orc village? Professor, you must be there, but the tower is always a dangerous place.”
“yes… … !”
Lee Hee-yeon and Shin Ji-hoo talked about Kim Ye-bin. I was glad to see him after a long time, and I was also worried that he was going to the top.
“thank you… … ! There is practice every week, so I think I will come often! I will greet you once in a while!”
“Yes, yes, I also come to the general store. I’ll give you a huge discount.”
“Ah, it’s okay… … !”
That was when everyone left.
Kim Ye-bin was unconscious as if the storm had passed.
“hey! What are you. Yebin!”
“huh?”
“Who is that handsome man? By the way, how do the dragon slayer witch and tower idol know you?! Do you think we are friendly?”
“… … How come?”
“Kyaaa! oh my god! My friend is best friends with the dragon slayer witch! Top idols almost look like party members?! Will you be recruited as a new member?”
“… … It’s not like that.”
Choi Jeong-in was pouring MSG this time as well.
However, Kim Ye-bin could feel the warmth from them. It may not be until the father’s vacancy, but there was a jeong (精).

Jihoo visited the [Used Magic Bookstore].
I read all of the books given to me by magician Kim Mi-ji and the books Ji-hoo bought here. It was almost like flipping through the bookshelves, so there was nothing to drag on.
“Are you here soon? Did you read the subspace book well?”
Kwon Ye-rim’s unique friendly and lively tone, but with a masculine easy-going tone, he asked.
“Yeah, roughly? I came because I wanted to buy something.”
“What is it this time? Just talk!”
“[Alchemy chemistry] 3-star applied magic books and [Magic Engineering] magic circuits and 4-star circuits. Also, it would be nice to have a 4-star public magic.”
Kwon Ye-rim blinked at Ji-hoo’s words.
In the past few days, Jihoo’s level of magic has mastered from [Alchemy] to [Alchemy] 2 stars. And [Magic Engineering] Completely mastered the 3-star magic circuit.
It was because the book Kim Mi-ji gave me ended there. There was a schedule for education after that, but Jihoo had to buy the books himself.
“What, are you studying magic properly these days?”
“Are you doing that?”
“It’s strange, did you get any magical talent-related traits or something? Or is it a strange drug that doesn’t work? It couldn’t have been at that level already.”
“Did you realize your talent?”
“Ah, who doesn’t have magic talent like you?”
“… … Heck, that was when I was little.”
“Hmm, suspicious. It’s not polite to ask more questions.”
Yerim Kwon said that and moved to the bookshelf. He had a hand on his chin, contemplating which book to give him.
Jihoo said.
“Oh, and one more.”
“huh?”
“The keyword [spiritual body].”
“… … ?”
“Can you look for it?”
“Ha- I know. Are you changing a lot these days?”
At Kwon Ye-rim’s words, Ji-hoo just shrugs. But she didn’t ask any more. He just gave me a worried look.
But she is not qualified to advise him either. people on this street. No, in today’s world, it’s not such a big deal to risk yourself.
In a way, in order to seek change, there is no choice but to be a natural process. Because it is natural for everyone to live like that.
* * *
Jihoo returned to the general store.
I listened to the book she gave me.
[Discovery of the Spiritual Body (Kiliya)]
“This man also appears here.”
He’s definitely a famous person.
A lifelong devotee of alchemy, and also an archmage, he took notes of everything he studied and published those notes in a book.
It was as if he had a conviction that everything he knew should be known to others.
‘If it’s here, there might be some hints.’
The reason why Jihoo bought this book was because of the egg next to it.
[Mysterious Egg (Lv. 06)]
: An egg with mysterious power. It’s holding something, but I don’t know what it is.
No big deal.
Even after [Segmentation], nothing came out, and when I did [Understand], all I could think of was the keyword [spiritual body].
Chow-
Jihoo turned over the bookshelf.
I read each one. These days, because of [Intelligence] and [Talent], reading books has become so easy. [Speed reading] seemed to be included in the magician’s talent.
‘Simply put, the elemental body is the crystallization of a story that a certain object or attribute has been through for a long time.’
In a way, it was similar to an intangible artifact.
As time passes, it becomes a [spirit] and has a [self]. In the case of the [Elemental Sage], which appears very rarely, it was said that it was because he had a connection with such a spirit.
‘I don’t think this is to that extent.’
It seems to be holding the time.
It took longer than expected to become a [spirit].
‘It usually takes hundreds of years to become the basics of a spirit body, and it takes thousands of years to become a spirit with a one-dimensional ego.’
So, it may have created something called [Artificial Intelligence] in ancient Alcarta. If [Ego] requires that much time, then the supply is bound to be limited.
“… … This must be just a magic crystal.”
It was originally an ‘egg’, but it never hatched, and because it was pure and had so much magical power, the magical power itself began to linger.
It was when Jihoo’s guess reached that point.
– The subject [understood].
– Detect the target’s [age].
– You have [Viewed] the target.
“… … ?”
This was the first time ever.
A few achievements came up from the bottom, and the information you read came to mind.
[Unknown Elemental Body (Lv. 07) (Unflowered)]
: An abandoned egg that failed to hatch a long time ago. It is not known what egg it was. However, because it was pure in itself and possessed pure magic, it became a spirit body, remembering all the years.
*[Advanced Magical Accumulation]
*[???]
*[???]
“… … !”
It seems that [Read] is still not done.
However, there is something called [Advanced Magical Accumulation]. Besides, there are two more options covered with question marks.
If it’s magic accumulation that reaches [Advanced], it’s similar to [Accumulation] added to at least a [Advanced Mana Stone].
That means, the amount of mana, the degree of concentration of mana, the purity of mana, and so on. It means that it is no different from the [processed high-grade magic stone] processed by combining the power of the archmage and the S-class craftsman.
“This is not something I can handle.”
It is not difficult to make [unflowered] into [blooming]. But if one option is this much, don’t touch it carelessly.
Aside from damaging things, Jihoo could be in danger if the egg itself hatches or the spirit body awakens.
let it go for now
Aunt Mi-yeon and Uncle Kim Jeong-soo, master of alchemy. Or, I should get advice from Kwon Ye-rim or Shim Ji-yeol.
If you raise the reading level by consuming SP right away, the answer may come out. However, I didn’t want to consume SP just to know the answer a little earlier.

the next morning.
“Jihoo! Did you wake up!”
Outside, Lee Hee-yeon screamed loudly. I heard Lee Min-ho’s voice next to me.
Starting today, the [General Store of Trust] is closed. Every Monday, I would go hunting like this or climb a tower.
“It’s still 5, but the sound from morning.”
“Let’s go. You have to go early and get a spot on the field.”
“you’re right. There are times when I can’t do anything if I do something wrong. Especially in a level 3 field.”
I moved to Jihoo’s car.
Lee Hee-yeon rode beside him, and Lee Min-ho rode behind him. The three drove for about an hour and headed to Baegunsan Mountain in Wonju.
“Listen, if you go, I’ll check your hunter registration card and let you in. You can go without it, but you have to sign an oath of responsibility. Hunter basically signs it from the time he gets his license.”
“I won’t sue you even if I die, like that?”
“Similar, because so many times families sued the government or field owners.”
Jihoo nodded.
It hasn’t been long since South Korea has stabilized this far. Just 20 years ago, the whole world was at war.
“More importantly, it’s when there’s friction with other guilds. My power level is 5, but there are times when there are higher level hunters. Big corporations are even worse. you know that?”
“yes.”
“That’s not all. In fact, what worries me the most is when they come up to me with a good face, ask for help, and stab me in the back.”
“… … Our tower is a safe place.”
Suddenly, I remembered the Samhyeon assistant team I bumped into when I first climbed the tower.
“This is a place where the law does not apply. Body cams are widely used, but since [Field] is on the Internet, they say they upload it directly to the cloud, but they attack from behind the scenes, and in fact, they are of little use.”
“That’s right.”
“Of course, it is rare. Because other hunters will notice. But you know you always have to prepare for the 0.1% risk, right?”
Ji-hoo had also forgotten.
yes, this is the world I forgot about it while working in Seoul and living in the stable [Artisan’s Street].
Even in Seoul, people are killed for millions of won. But you can’t just leave Hunter with hundreds of millions or billions of dollars on his body alone.
Besides, isn’t he a hunter who doesn’t know when he will die? There are many hunters who live a dead end than you think.
“I’ll say it again, but you have a level 8 court, so I’m going with you.”
“of course. I wouldn’t even think of going without it.”
“… … But I am really envious.”
“what?”
“If it’s level 8 and treasure grade, it doesn’t mean that it can withstand almost master-level attacks. I will not die.”
“Ah, but it won’t last long. You have to be careful. If you are surrounded or fall into a trap… … Ugh.”
It’s the worst.
Of course, since Jihoo had 10,000 SP left, he was confident that he would survive even if the worst situation came.
“You’ve arrived, don’t ever relax. Don’t be weak and hold out your hand when someone asks for help. In that situation, I will judge.”
“… … okay.”
So the three entered the field.
There was nothing special about the field. There was barbed wire around the field, and the phrase [high voltage current] and a skull were drawn on it, which was impressive.
