"What is light refining?" Li Xiu heard the secret and asked quickly.
"Don't you know how to refine light? Then why are you learning magic writing?" Li Qingyin looked at Li Xiu with confusion.
"I only learn magic writing so that I can understand some characters in the magic kingdom. What does this have to do with light refining?" Li Xiu asked.
"Forget it, let me tell you in detail. The next level after S level is called light base. It condenses the void into reality. It uses light as the veins and light veins as the base to transform the body into a light energy body. This requires special
These methods are not available on the earth. The light-condensing methods currently used by the light base level are all found in the ruins of the Demon Kingdom. After you are promoted to the light base level in the future, the strengthening of the trial field will no longer be useful to you.
, you also need a light-condensing method to continue to grow, but you don’t have to learn the complicated magic words yourself. There are many translated light-condensing methods at the magic text academy. As the chief, as long as you are promoted to
If you are just at the basic level, you have the authority to get the translation."
"So that's it, light base level?" Li Xiu looked strange. He always felt that the name of this level was a bit strange.
"You can rest, I'll prepare some red spinels." Li Qingyin said and got up and went out.
Li Xiu also followed him out of the door and went directly to the Magic Academy.
Many trialists on the road looked a little strange when they saw Li Xiu.
Li Xiu knew that word had spread that Jing Li wanted to kill him, so he didn't care and walked forward on his own.
Before I even reached the Demonic Academy, I saw a fat man walking over from the opposite side, with a smile on his face and his eyes almost narrowed into slits.
"Where are you going, Director Li?" Bai Wanli walked towards him, with no intention of getting out of the way, and greeted him with a cheerful face.
"Just taking a stroll, what do you want, Vice President Bai?" Li Xiu said casually.
"What can I do? When it comes to Director Li, you are involved in such a big thing, and you are still in the mood to go shopping. It is indeed extraordinary. Bai Mou admires you very much." Bai Wanli said with a hidden smile.
"It seems that Vice President Bai cares about me very much." Li Xiu sneered.
"Of course, I used to manage the Magic Equipment Group, and now you manage the Magic Equipment Group. Speaking of which, I can be considered your senior, and it is normal to care about you as a junior. If you really can't survive, come anytime.
Come to me, although I can't help you much, you can still do small things like buying a coffin and collecting the body." Bai Wanli said with narrowed eyes.
"Since Vice President Bai cares about me so much, please give me the benefits of being the president," Li Xiu said.
"The warehouse is currently taking inventory. When the inventory is completed, Director Li will come to pick it up. I'm really sorry." Bai Wanli didn't panic at all and said with a smile.
"When will the inventory be completed?" Li Xiu asked.
"Well, there hasn't been a big inventory in the warehouse for several years. There are too many things and they need to be sorted out. But Director Li can rest assured that I will do my best to take inventory as soon as possible, which could be as soon as two or three months, or as slow as one or two years.
, I will notify you as soon as the inventory is completed." Bai Wanli said proudly.
"So we can only collect the supplies for our technician team after the inventory is completed?" Li Xiu looked at Bai Wanli and said.
"Director Li is really smart, you have guessed all this." Bai Wanli became even more proud.
"Okay, take your time and take stock, I'm not in a hurry." Li Xiu said, bypassing Bai Wanli and continuing to walk in the direction of Mowenyuan.
"Huh." Bai Wanli snorted coldly as he watched Li Xiu leave, then walked away humming a tune to himself.
Li Xiu knew that now was not the time to ask for something, so he ignored Bai Wanli and waited until the time came.
Li Xiu came all the way to the Magic Academy. The Magic Academy and the Magic Equipment Research Institute are at the same level, but just looking at the appearance, you can tell that the Magic Institute is much more prestigious than the Magic Equipment Research Institute.
There is a gold plaque on the door, stone lions on both sides, gold couplets hanging on both sides, and the guard watching the joke.
The gatekeeper was sitting next to the gate, holding a small teapot in one hand and a tobacco stick in the other, taking a sip of tea and a cigarette. It looked like he was living a very happy life.
Even the guards are living so well, which shows that the status of the Magic Academy is much higher than that of the institute.
"Young man, where are the cards?" As soon as Li Xiu walked to the door, he was stopped by the uncle.
"What card?" Li Xiu asked.
"What are you pretending to be about the mysterious lake? It is an important area of Mowenyuan. No one is allowed to enter without a pass issued by the city lord." The uncle sat on the chair with no intention of standing up. He just pointed to the sign standing next to him with his cigarette rod.
, the sign said "No entry for idlers".
"I'm here to ask the dean of the Demonic Academy some questions about the research on magical writings. Please inform me." Li Xiu said.
"Study magic words? Are you still studying magic words at your age?" The old man curled his lips, pointed to the gold-lettered couplets on both sides of the door and said, "Do you recognize what these words are?"
Li Xiu had just seen this couplet. The words on it were written in magic script, and the left and right were asymmetrical. There were six magic script symbols on the right side, and eight magic script symbols on the left. One was long and the other was short, which looked very awkward.
If people on the sidelines don’t know the magic text, they might think it’s because it’s not written enough.
In fact, the meaning expressed by the magic script symbols is different from that of the universal script of the earth. One symbol may represent several meanings. When translating couplets in magic script, it is normal for the number of symbols on both sides to be unequal.
Li Xiu took a look. Although he didn't recognize two symbols, he already knew what was written on them.
Because this is a very famous couplet, if you know the meanings of other magic words, you will know what the couplet is.
"The young phoenix learns to fly, and the storm of thousands of miles begins. The hidden dragon rises, and the nine-day thunderstorm comes in time." Li Xiu read out both the upper and lower couplets.
"Where did you hear it? You can recite it well." The old man thought that Li Xiu heard it from somewhere else. After all, the couplet of Mo Wen Yuan was widely circulated in the Eternal City.
"If you don't believe me, you can test me on something else." Li Xiu was not angry and said with a smile.
"Okay, then read this." The old man put down the teapot in his hand, took out a book from his arms and threw it to Li Xiu.
Li Xiu took the book and looked at it. He saw the four words "Buddha's light shines everywhere" written on the cover, and he read it out casually.
"Don't read those words. Who doesn't know General Chinese? Read the content inside." The old man curled his lips and said.
Li Xiu opened the book and saw that it was in fine print. It seemed that the magic text was copied from somewhere and reprinted.
"Containing light and absorbing fluorescence, condensing veins and transforming meridians, taking light as the basis..." Li Xiu read a few sentences and found that this should be the method of condensing light mentioned by Li Qingyin, and the secret formula he saw in the short cylinder.
Somewhat similar.
"Hey, can you really understand magic texts?" The old man listened to a few words and looked at Li Xiu in surprise.
"I understand a little, but there are a lot of words I don't know, so I want to come to the Magic Academy for advice. Please do it as a convenience and tell me that Li Xiu is visiting." Li Xiu said.
"It turns out that you are the new chief of the technical team, Li Xiu. Now that you are an old man, I am blind." The old man stood up and said, "I didn't expect that Chief Li is actually proficient in magic texts. If the dean is not here, I can study with you. No.
Do you know if Director Li is interested?"
"It's not what you asked for." Li Xiu smiled.
He just wanted to see some research information from the Magic Text Academy. If there was no information, he could just compare some original works and translations. It would not be difficult for him to analyze the meaning of the magic text.
"Come with me." The old man led Li Xiu through the door and walked towards one of the two-story jade buildings in the yard.
This courtyard is much more grand than the institute, with pavilions and pavilions, but there seems to be no people there.
Seemingly sensing Li Xiu's inner thoughts, the old man said with a smile: "Our researchers at the Magic Text Academy have a lot of work every day, studying magic texts and translating magic texts, but we don't have time to sit in the yard and bask in the sun."
Li Xiu smiled and said nothing. It seemed that no one in the entire Eternal Life City knew about the situation of the Magic Equipment Research Institute.
The old man took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, opened the door of Yulou, pushed the door open and walked in.
"These are all printed books. You can read whatever you want." The old man pulled up a chair and sat down.
Li Xiu saw that the rows of bookshelves here were filled with books. He glanced at them twice and saw that they were all story books and the like. They were not the same as the "Buddha's Light" that the old man showed him before.
The method of condensing light.
But Li Xiu didn't care. He browsed through the titles of the books on the bookshelf first. It was exactly as he thought. So many books were miscellaneous books, and there was no book on the Condensation Method at all.
Li Xiu didn't even care. Some of the magic books here had translations. Li Xiu picked out a few books with translations and started reading them.
"How's the translation?" The old man saw that Li Xiu was flipping through the pages very quickly, basically scanning them all at once, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
"It's at the level of a beginner," Li Xiu said casually.
As soon as Li Xiu said this, the old man's eyes turned red.
Originally, when he saw Li Xiu taking out a book he had translated, he felt somewhat proud.
He felt that the book he translated was the best choice with both accurate meaning and literary quality. Unexpectedly, Li Xiu actually reached a beginner's level. This made the old man chop Li Xiu's heart with a knife.
.
The old man suppressed the anger in his heart and sneered: "How can you see that?"
"The translator of this book has poor literary skills, but he likes to be arty. He translates the original concise text into a literary and youthful style. This is so mysterious that it is easy for people to misunderstand the meaning... For example, the meaning of this sentence
It's obviously just falling flowers and flowing water, but he wants to translate it into "falling flowers and flowing water". It seems that the translation is more beautiful in language, but in fact it will make people misunderstand that this is the author expressing emotion. In fact, the author's original intention is simply to describe the place.
It’s just a view.” Li Xiu said as he turned around.
"How do you know that the author is not using objects to express his emotions? Maybe you just don't understand the author's artistic conception and deep meaning." The old man said.
"I don't know what the author's deep meaning is. I only know that the translation should be based on the historical background of the article. The historical background of this book should be the most prosperous and prosperous period of the Demon Kingdom. The author wrote about the scenery during his spring outing. He has always been praising the great rivers and mountains. Suddenly,
Translating such a tragic sentence about falling flowers and running water without mercy seems a little inappropriate, and it is obviously a mistake made by novices." Li Xiu said.
The veins on the old man's forehead were pulsing wildly, and he said unconvinced: "Have you never heard of the famous saying that means you can have both peace and security in the world, live up to the Tathagata and live up to your Majesty? If you translate it according to what you said, it should be
How can there be a way to have the best of both worlds, that is, to live up to the girl you love in your heart, and not to delay your spiritual practice. Such a translation is lengthy and has no artistic beauty. Only with the processing of the translator can such a beautiful famous sentence come into existence. The translator
Artistic beautification is also very important, do you understand it?"
"I really don't understand this. I just want to know clearly the meaning of the magic text. Such confusing translations are difficult to understand and easy to make mistakes. I personally don't like it very much." Li Xiu said directly.
He put the book back without arguing with the old man.
The old man was still very unhappy: "You said it so easily, as if you could translate it into something simple and easy to understand."
Li Xiu ignored him, thinking that this old man was a bit strange. Now that he had brought him in to read, he was targeting him here and there. It was really hard to understand.
Li Xiu read the book by himself. With the translation and the original text compared with each other, Li Xiu learned more easily.
However, most of the words and phrases in these books are common ones, and even after reading for a long time, I didn’t see a few rare words.
Li Xiu already knew most of the common magic texts, so reading a book like this wouldn't be of much help to him.
After Li Xiu put down the book, he continued to search on the rows of bookshelves. There were too many books here, but it seemed that most of them were story books. The words and phrases used in such books were basically the same.
They are the more common ones, but they are really not of much help to Li Xiu.
"Uncle, do you have a reference book like a dictionary?" Li Xiu asked the angry old man beside him.
"Even if there is such a confidential thing, it cannot be allowed to be viewed by outsiders." The old man said coldly.
"Then there's nothing to see. Thank you sir, I'll go back first." Li Xiu turned around and prepared to leave.
When the old man heard what Li Xiu said, he couldn't help but sneer and said, "You want to read about the method of condensing light, right? Those books can only be read with the permission of the president, and as a magician, it's useless for you to read those things.
"
"I am a magic costume master, but I am also a trialist." Li Xiu said with a smile.
"Can a C-level trial be considered a trial?" The old man directly pointed out Li Xiu's level with a look of contempt on his face, as if a C-level trial could not be considered a human being.
"How come a C-level trialist is not a trialist?" Li Xiu frowned and said. This old man has been acting strangely since just now. Li Xiu was too lazy to argue with him, and he couldn't stop it.
"Here in our Magic Academy, there is no difference between C-level trialists and ordinary people. Those who can use the light-condensing techniques we have translated must be at least at the light base level. Even the light-condensing techniques below the light base level cannot be used.
If you can't practice, what kind of person is he?" The old man continued to attack Li Xiu.
"Who said you have to be at the Light Basic level to practice the Condensing Light Technique?" Li Xiu said calmly.
The old man laughed loudly after hearing this: "You don't even know that only light-level people can practice the Condensing Light Technique, and you still come here to see the Condensing Light Technique. Isn't it a bit funny?"
"Today, old man, I will teach you how to behave for free. If you have not reached the light base level, your body cannot actively absorb light energy and can only rely on the shared light energy provided by the symbiosis contract. Such a trialist cannot be considered a trialist at most.
They are only half trialists. The light-based trialers are different. They can absorb light energy themselves. Even if there is no light energy provided by the symbiosis contract, they can still absorb light energy to practice. These are two completely different things.
the concept of."
"Isn't there a method of condensing light that can be practiced before the light level?" Li Xiu asked.
"Absolutely not. Without reaching the light-based level, the body does not have the conditions to actively absorb light energy. This is a necessary prerequisite for all light condensation techniques." The old man affirmed.
"Is there any light-condensing method that does not require this prerequisite?" Li Xiu asked again.
"Of course not. All the light-condensing techniques discovered in the Demon Country require this prerequisite before they can be practiced," the old man said.
"The Demon Kingdom does not have such a method of condensing light. It does not mean that there is no such method of condensing light in the world. Even if it does not exist, it can still be researched." Li Xiu said in a deep voice.
The old man was very angry and funny when he heard this: "It seems that you really don't understand anything. It's hard for me to get angry with a young boy like you. Forget it, go away and don't say anything outside again."
Those crazy words will only make people laugh."
"I don't think there's anything funny about this. I just want to research a light condensing method that can be practiced before the light level. If possible, can you lend me some information?" Li Xiu said.
"Unless you reach the basic level of light, you can't borrow the Condensing Light Technique. You'd better leave as soon as possible." The old man said with a cold face. Previously, he saw that Li Xiu knew magic texts, and he had some good impressions of Li Xiu, but now he has no good feelings at all.
, no more patience at all.
"I don't look at those light-condensing techniques. I just hope to be able to borrow a dictionary. If you can't make the decision, I hope to see the dean." Li Xiu said.
"What do you want a dictionary for?" the old man asked, staring at Li Xiu.
"Didn't I just say that I want to develop a light condensing method that can be practiced even before the Light Basic level." Li Xiu said calmly.
"Do you think we in the Magic Academy are all idiots? If there really was such a thing, would we have waited until you came to discover it?" the old man said angrily.
"The fact that the Magic Academy can't do it doesn't mean that I can't do it. Can I borrow a dictionary?" Li Xiu lost his patience.
"I can lend you the dictionary. If you can come up with something like that, I, Lord Dongtian, will kneel down on the spot and worship you as my teacher." The old man stared at Li Xiu coldly and said, "Director Li, if you can't come up with it,
What about that kind of light condensation technique?"
"It turns out that you are Dongtianjun, the dean of Mowen Academy. I'm really disrespectful." Li Xiu smiled and said: "Dean Dongtian, as long as you are willing to lend me the dictionary, I will definitely be able to get it out. If it doesn't work,
I am also willing to kneel down and worship you as my teacher."
"I don't dare to accept a disciple like you. If you can't get it out, how about giving me one-third of the magic equipment team's resources?" Dong Tianjun clearly made a good calculation.
"Okay, go get the dictionary." Li Xiu nodded.
"Don't worry, we have to set a time first. You can't study it all your life, so I'll wait for you all my life, right?" Dong Tianjun said.
"Three months. If I can't research it in three months, I'll give you the dictionary and resources." Li Xiu said.
"Okay, let's make a written document." Dong Tianjun took out paper and pen from nowhere and wrote the written document directly. Both of them signed and stamped it in duplicate.
