The Magician of Cultivation

"Yes, humans are also made up of magical elements." Li Yu affirmed.

"Human bones, flesh, and hair are all made up of magical elements. They are arranged and combined in a special sequence to form strange structures. In the final analysis, everything is part of nature."

"Of course, this is more complicated." Li Yu said with a smile.

He was not speaking casually, in the world of cultivation, strong people could indeed reshape their bodies out of thin air.

President Wadley pondered for a moment and said, "What you said does make sense. The fact that you have such an insight shows that you think seriously when you study."

"Then let's talk about the nature of magic."

"it is good."

Li Yu sorted out his words and said softly:

"A fighter cultivates his physical body by forming a magnetic field through his physical body to attract magical elements to enter."

"But there is a fatal flaw in this. The physical body will erase the elemental spirit. Therefore, fighters cannot use the power of elements and can only use it to strengthen the physical body."

"A fighter is strong only if his own strength is strong. But how can his own strength compare with the vastness of the universe?"

"Compared to fighters, magicians have stronger mental power and pay more attention to communicating with magical elements."

"It is of course the most basic thing to keep the magic elements spiritual. If you want to release magic, you need to make the magic elements cooperate with each other to form runes with special functions."

"The essence of magic is actually the arrangement and combination of runes."

"There are two main aspects to studying magic: one is to master as many magic runes as possible; the other is to be able to arrange the runes accurately."

Wadley smiled and nodded, "This is what the book 'The Origin of Magic' describes."

"Unfortunately, learning magic is difficult and requires countless attempts."

"Let alone arranging the magic runes, it is extremely difficult to arrange them in a complicated combination. Even constructing the magic runes is not easy."

"Being familiar with magic runes and constructing magic runes by yourself are two different concepts."

Li Yu nodded in agreement and said seriously: "So, I think most magicians' training has gone astray."

"Into a misunderstanding?" Wadley was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Constructing magic runes means that the magic elements are arranged like soldiers in the hexagram array constructed by the magician's mental power."

"Then the magician uses mental power as a guide and magic elements as a basis to construct magic runes."

"However, the magician pays too much attention to magic runes and ignores the magic elements."

"Paying too much attention to magic runes? Ignoring magic elements?" Wadley's mind moved.

He did not interrupt Li Yu, but listened carefully and thought carefully.

"Well, it just ignores the magical element."

Li Yu continued, "It's not enough to just make a contract with the elements."

"I think I need to elementalize myself and become a part of the elements. Only in this way can I gain true recognition from the elements and be more adept at constructing runes."

"Elementalization, becoming a part of the elements?"

Wadley chewed on these words and was deeply moved. He looked at his disciple with admiration in his eyes.

How could he know that what Li Yu was talking to him about was the idea of ​​cultivation.

Those who practice Taoism focus on embracing the mind of heaven and understanding nature.

How to understand nature?

Only by understanding nature, approaching nature, becoming nature, and considering oneself as a part of nature can we thoroughly see the essence of heaven and earth.

This was a collision of civilizations, and the mystery contained in it gave Wadley inspiration even as he listened.

Papapa

There was amazement in his eyes and he clapped excitedly.

"Li Yu, your idea is very novel, but it also feels very reasonable."

"On the road of cultivation, talent and diligence are certainly necessary, but thinking is even more important."

Wadley said with emotion, "In just three days, you not only completely absorbed the theoretical knowledge that I have studied for most of my life, but also put forward many of your own insights. You are very good, really very good."

As the president of the Yalan Magic and Martial Arts Academy, he has spent most of his life researching and teaching.

What he likes to see most is that children go from being ignorant to being enlightened under his earnest teaching.

It is no exaggeration to say that he has many students all over the world.

At least in Xueyan Country, Wadley can be regarded as a leading figure in the education field, otherwise Hu Xiner would not have known his name.

But today, with Li Yu, he felt deeply frustrated.

The other person was only twelve or thirteen years old, but just as Wadley said, he mastered what he had studied for half his life in just three days.

"The human body is also made up of magical elements. Do you want to transform yourself into an element and become a part of the magical elements?"

The more he thought about Li Yu's words, the more inspiration burst out in his heart.

"I am your teacher, but I have learned something from you instead." Wadley said self-deprecatingly.

"Teacher, you are too modest. I am thinking based on your theories, but you are creating something from nothing." Li Yu praised sincerely.

Of course, Wadley's book not only expounds on these two points, but also includes simple insights into the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements.

He felt that if he gave some pointers, perhaps Wadley would be able to figure out the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

"Teacher," Li Yu suddenly stared at Wadley and said seriously, "I think you seem to have discovered a big secret."

"What secret?" Wadley looked puzzled.

Li Yu's voice was not loud, but the words he said were like thunder exploding in his head, and there was no other sound.

"Teacher, when I broke through to the primary magician level, my mental power discovered that my body contained all attributes, not just a single attribute."

"You...what did you say?"

Wadley was stunned for a long moment before he suddenly stood up and looked at him with an excited expression.

Li Yu didn't waste any words. He looked directly into Wadley's eyes and said firmly, "The conjecture about the attributes of the human body in the teacher's book should be correct."

He felt full of affection for the old man in front of him.

In his previous life, the Five Elements Sect was just such a group of cultivators who loved to delve into research, and communicating with Wadley made him feel as if he had returned to the world of cultivation and to the Five Elements Sect.

"You said... the conjecture that all properties are contained in the human body is... correct?" Wadley murmured again.

"Yes, teacher."

Li Yu did not hide the fact that when he was about to break through to the foundation-building stage, his soul left his body and he saw the "Ring of Five Elements" and told the story.

"That is a perspective from a higher dimension. I don't know why I can enter that state."

Li Yu continued, "My disciple has a super affinity for the element of fire, so the star with the fire attribute is particularly dazzling, while the stars with other attributes are dim."

"My guess is that if it weren't for the super elemental affinity, then other stars would also be bright."

“The human body should contain all attributes, but one or several attributes are particularly active.”

“It’s a subtle difference in individual constitution, but it contains all the attributes, no doubt about it.”
