The Memoirs of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 87 Circuit
Against the background of the crackdown on Gotham City this time, there is one person who is living a particularly nourishing life.

Robert Cullen, the personal financial advisor who used to be a greasy middle-aged man with a green hat, has recently been in a state of prosperity, flowers and brocades.

Relying on the cash that Li Ang gave him, Robert took over the sporadic shops left behind when the gang collapsed, and used the gold shops he bought earlier as a cover, and traded gold nuggets worth tens of millions of dollars to escape from the country in a hurry to escape. Bought a lot of real estate from the gang's second in command.

Robert, who has been in prison for several years and left a criminal record, acted cautiously and meticulously. He cooperated with his good friend Jimmy McGill as a lawyer. The two helped the employer and snatched ten times his total property in this feast of dividing up the gang inheritance. cake.

Killing people and setting fire to the gold belt, repairing bridges and repairing roads without corpses, this ill-gotten wealth instantly created more than a dozen dance halls, nightclubs, restaurants, hotels, and even steel factories, automobile factories, and chemical plants under Li Ang's name, turning him into a veritable industry. Homes and Billionaires.

At this time, in the basement of Williams Manor, Leon was flipping through the occult classics written by Rebecca and Constantine.

The classical mystical school, inherited from the speculative philosophy of ancient Greece, generally believes that the origin of the world is a mysterious existence called "the Great Source".

The great source is everywhere, running through the whole world like a dense vein, exuding a special factor called "ether" from the inside out.

The best among human beings can sense the free ether in the air, and those with outstanding talents can even use their bodies as a conversion circuit, absorbing the ether emitted by the source for their own use, and turning it into magic power that humans can also use.

Such talented people are called wizards, mages, magicians, etc., and the conversion circuits in their bodies are called magic circuits.

"The magic circuit in Western mysticism is roughly equivalent to the meridian specially used by Eastern practitioners to absorb the aura of heaven and earth," Li Ang commented with a frown: "Communicate heaven and earth, and use the mighty power of heaven and earth for your own use. all the same."

The difference is that Eastern practitioners can distinguish themselves, create a sea of ​​Qi in their bodies, contain the spiritual energy, wait until the sea of ​​Qi is full, and then compress and liquefy the spiritual energy to achieve foundation building.

However, Western mystic scholars who pursue truth have embarked on another development path.

They believe that as long as new magic circuits are continuously opened up in the human body, the scope of influence on the ether (that is, aura) can be expanded naturally.

"This process is equivalent to the expansion of the meridians in the body of an oriental monk to facilitate the communication of heaven and earth aura."

In short, if the great source is regarded as the ocean, then the mage is equivalent to the water pump, and the magic circuit is equivalent to the water pipe.

The more water pipes, the more water can be pumped out; the higher the quality of the water pipes, the greater the water pressure they can withstand.

The number of magic circuits can be increased by one or two with the help of acquired artificial circuits, and the strength of the magic circuits can become firm and flexible through the accumulated connections over time.
"This process is equivalent to refining Qi in cultivating the Tao, strengthening the eight meridians, and preventing myself from being blown up by the overflowing spiritual energy in the process of casting spells."

In this context, some occult scholars have discovered that the magic circuit in the human body has an upper limit.

Twenty magic circuits can be regarded as high-end talents, thirty can be regarded as outstanding talents, which are rare, and forty can compete with the romantic figures in history.
In addition, wizards also discovered that magic circuits, as a kind of "innate talent", can be inherited.

For example, Constantine has 25 magic circuits. If you trace the source, you can roughly trace it all the way to the mage Merlin in King Arthur's time-of course, this is the blood relationship that has diluted countless generations.

Another example is Rebecca, as an old witch who has lived for more than 200 years, her magic circuits are as high as 31, which can be called amazing talent, and her ancestors can be traced back to the ancient Greek period, in the temple of Delphi. A prophet who can communicate with the gods.

If a wizard family can always maintain the orthodox bloodline, or marry with other wizard families with noble blood, it can inherit the talent of the magic circuit forever, and there will be no shortage of children and grandchildren.

It's ridiculous to say that the way wizards who claim to be noble, the way they pass on their talents coincides with the way cats and dogs breed.
Eastern monks also recognize the factors of innate talent, such as the spiritual root in the "Jade Pond with clear water pouring the spiritual root, the spiritual root is strong and old", in the "Huang Ting Jing", and "Extreme Xiangli Mingge", "Zifu Tonggongge" such fate,

However, the oriental monks who use the slogan "the princes and generals have kindness" never think that talent is the only element of practice. Even if the talent is poor, as long as you have great perseverance, great wisdom, and great blessing I can't help it." Maybe I can't forcibly step out of a broad road.

Secondly, Eastern practitioners never agree with the theory of genetic inheritance,

In order to maintain the continuity of orthodoxy, the theory of bloodlines concocted by feudal rulers is worthless in the eyes of monks. I am afraid that only those petty bourgeoisie with "noble plot" intruding into their brains and those with deep-rooted caste system The third brother in India will believe in nonsense such as the theory of blood.

Li Ang put down the stacks of thick paper in his hands thoughtfully, and muttered to himself: "Although this Western wizard seems to have gone astray and cannot extricate himself, their magic circuit system is quite interesting."

He opened his spiritual consciousness, and under the blessing of Guanglong Shifang Locking Array, he inspected the spirit bodies of Rebecca and Constantine in the blink of an eye, and copied the magic circuit of the two in his mind.

Li Ang closed his eyes, transcribing a huge amount of information in his mind.

After a while, he opened his eyes, ran to the complete set of forging equipment neatly stacked in the corner of the basement, and began to refine the magic weapon.

He melted the steel pipe he bought earlier and cast it into a solid block. Before the surface of the red iron block cooled down, he used the spiritual energy absorbed by the Guanglong Shifang Locking Array to engrave on the iron block full of western mysteries. Magnificent textures of learning colors.

"The magic circuit in the human body is a bridge to communicate with the ether, and as a mortal body, the ether that each magic circuit can hold is limited,"

While talking, Li Ang cut his thumb with a knife, and dripped the red blood into the iron block along the lines.

"If the magic circuit can be engraved on steel with the monk's essence and blood as the strokes."

Rebecca and Constantine widened their glasses, they gradually understood what Li Ang was doing,
Casting an unconscious block of iron into a weapon with a magic circuit,
Guanglong Shifang Locking Spirit Formation absorbs the aura from the sea, and the majestic and vast ether pours into the iron block, making the steel creak,

After a long time, the iron block gradually cooled down.
