Chapter 18 Magic Enlightenment Lesson 1
I'm so damn awesome!
Lorne suddenly felt that the fairy tales about accidentally entering a library and obtaining ancient inheritances, and then making rapid progress in cultivation, were all lies.
The Heavenly Rank Technique is here, but can I understand it?
[Would you like to spend cultivation points to learn a cultivation technique?]
Ah, I've finally figured out the correct way to use cultivation points!
He now has a considerable amount of cultivation points, but apart from activating his spiritual root at the beginning, these cultivation points have never been of any use.
It now seems that these points can be used to comprehend cultivation techniques!
It's just unclear whether it's limited to enhancing comprehension and understanding cultivation techniques, or whether it can also be used to digest other cultivation resources.
Lorne thought that comprehending a technique shouldn't cause any big fuss. Although Senior Cat was nearby, he was actually a good cat with no ill intentions. He could try to comprehend it first.
"I understand!"
To comprehend the true teachings of the Dao Embryo Realm Ancestor, 50,000 cultivation points are required.
To comprehend the Netherworld Secret Technique, 5,000 cultivation points are required.
To master the top-tier movement technique "Leave No Trace for a Thousand Miles," 8,000 cultivation points are required.
【…】
[Your current cultivation points: 23. Insufficient cultivation points, please try again!]
Lorne: ...
Screw this cultivation guide, it's playing with my feelings!
……
Lorne angrily left the library.
The library contained a vast number of cultivation techniques. He had only taken a quick stroll through the library when the prompts from the cultivation guide kept ringing. They were either unparalleled secret techniques or the legacy of an old demon, each one sounding incredibly powerful, but he couldn't comprehend any of them. It was as if they were deliberately teasing him.
What's the difference between this and showing porn to eunuchs?
If things don't go as planned today, we'll have to wait until we have more cultivation points to explore again.
Afterwards, Lorne explored the academy and toured the main buildings of this island city suspended in the sky, gaining a lot of knowledge.
For example, while walking on Silver Avenue, which runs through the entire island city, he saw several brooms sweeping the ground on their own without anyone controlling them. One of the brooms got stuck in a corner. As Lorne passed by, the stuck broom suddenly started cursing, "You brat, are you blind? Can't you see that I'm stuck?! You're not even going to help me!" This startled the unsuspecting Lorne.
An older student passing by calmly told Lorne that this was a byproduct of the Water Academy's elemental tower. They were researching a self-cleaning magic circle when someone had a brilliant idea. They went to the Wood Academy's elemental tower, cast a life spell inside, and the broom came to life. Everything was fine until two brooms fell in love and had a bunch of baby brooms. The baby brooms were mischievous, and the big broom got annoyed and its temper got worse and worse.
It is said that when the "Outstanding Cleaning Tools" are selected each year, the winning brooms will have a small red flower tied to their handles, while the other brooms will stop working for half a day.
For example, at the arena located on the south side of the island city, he saw several senior students bragging.
One of the anthropology students said, "My bow and arrow can shoot a hundred paces away."
Another dwarf senior said, "My bow and arrow can shoot two hundred paces."
The anthropology student didn't believe it and insisted on having a contest with the dwarf student.
The final result was astonishing: their arrows had the same range, and another senior student who was skilled in mind-reading magic even said that neither of them was lying.
For some reason, the dwarf senior suddenly turned red and wanted to fight the human senior to the death.
Lorne kept his distance, afraid of being caught in the blast and getting smashed to pieces by the magic that fell from the sky.
……
The day passed quickly. Lorne's eyes were opened at the academy, and he witnessed many things he had never heard of before, constantly refreshing his impression of the magical world.
However, Silver Academy was too big. Although it was just a ring-island city, he had no magical skills and could only visit the southern ring where the dormitory area was located after a day of wandering around on foot. He didn't have time to see the rest of the east, west, and north rings.
In the evening, Lorne picked up a bag of bread slices at the cafeteria and went back to his apartment complex to rest. It was said that the cafeteria provided foie gras, which came from the "Radiant Goose," a light-elemental fantasy creature bred by the Light Academy.
These geese feed on magical elements, and their livers are rich in pure spiritual energy. Eating just one bite can slightly increase one's spiritual energy, making them extremely famous throughout the magical world.
But precisely because of its scarcity, every supply is always in short supply, and if you arrive late, you won't even see a feather.
Once, a student sneaked into the cafeteria and secretly stole all the foie gras. He then used magic to turn bread slices into foie gras for other students. Coincidentally, magicians from other magic academies came to exchange ideas that day, and Silver Academy served their distinguished guests "Radiant Foie Gras." As you can imagine, Silver Academy made a huge fool of itself in front of its rival school. The student was severely punished afterward, had to postpone his graduation by a year, and the academy added a new rule: "It is forbidden to turn bread into foie gras."
The next morning.
The morning mist had not yet dissipated, and the air was filled with the scent of grass and dew. The distant circular city wall was gilded by the rising sun, making it as beautiful as a painting.
Having changed into a magic robe, Lorne admired the beautiful scenery as he made his way along the Silver Avenue to the Morning Light Lawn, where Professor Sylvie had mentioned the first lesson.
Turning past a stone wall covered in ivy, the view suddenly opened up before me.
The Morning Glow Lawn was larger than Lorne had imagined, as wide as two or three football fields. At the end of the lawn was a dense oak forest, from which birdsong could be faintly heard. In the center of the lawn, a simple circular platform was paved with white stones, and around it were scattered stone blocks, which were probably the seats.
Lorne found Viola, whom he knew, and the giant boy Thormont, and sat down in a seat towards the back. Or rather, the seat Thormont sat in was at the very back, because no one wanted to sit behind him.
A beam of white light shone down from above the lawn.
Where the light converged, a figure slowly materialized.
Her long, silver-gold hair was tied up high, her ice-blue eyes were clear and bright, and her white robe was well-tailored with gold thread inlaid at the collar and cuffs. Surprisingly, she had a pair of mirror-like silver-gold wings on her back, which scattered tiny specks of light when they fluttered slightly, making her look like an angel who had walked out of the light, holy and inviolable.
"I've never heard of an angel race on the mainland."
Lorne muttered something to himself, and then heard a calm, clear voice from ahead:
"Let me introduce myself. I am the head of the Light Academy, Melanne Forsfeross. You can call me Professor Melanne. I am in charge of your introductory magical education."
She raised her hand, and a soft light bloomed in her palm:
"Do you know why light magic is best at initiating enlightenment?"
