On the other side of the portal is a temple-like building located on the top of the mountains.
Lin Qiming fell out of the portal and stood steadily on the green stone bricks, scanning the surrounding buildings that blended the architectural styles of Daxia and Indu culture and were full of mysterious charm.
Many tall spires are very majestic. The multi-story tower-like structure and hip roof are obviously referenced to the traditional architectural style of Daxia. The special shape of the metal spire also incorporates some characteristics of Indu architecture. However, under the blessing of the invisible magic circle, they are all particularly solid and solemn. The
Supreme Mage Ancient One smiled and nodded, then walked forward leisurely with his hands behind his back.
Lin Qiming also retracted his gaze and quickly followed her. In Kamar-Taj, the holy land of mystic mages, he did not have an official identity. If he did not follow the master closely, it would be easy for other mages to misunderstand.
As the two passed through some alleys between temples and palace buildings, they also met many mages and mage apprentices who were studying, practicing, and meditating here. It can be seen that the atmosphere here is still quite relaxed.���Almost no one cares about what others are doing at any time and anywhere.
“What do you think of this place?”
Gu Yi did not turn around, still keeping the rhythm of his pace, but suddenly asked a question without thinking.
Caught off guard, Lin Qiming was stunned for a moment, and blurted out
“It’s pretty good. The buildings here are unique, especially some exquisite carvings and decorations. It seems that there are mysterious runes and patterns hidden on them. Walking in it can feel a mysterious atmosphere, and the heart is quite relaxed.”
“Especially the harmonious harmony between the buildings and the natural environment, which makes people feel particularly close to nature. Moreover, the people here seem to be concentrating on doing their own things, not disturbed by external things. I envy their state.”
After hearing these answers, Gu Yi finally turned around, raised his eyebrows and joked
“Oh, is that so? Then I invite you to become the next Sorcerer Supreme!”
“This way I don’t have to wait for more than a hundred years. What do you think of this decision?”
After she finished speaking, the smile on her lips became more peaceful, as if she was waiting to see the fun.
Lin Qiming was shocked and quickly waved his hand to refuse.
“No, no, I don’t have this blessing, let’s wait for your perfect successor!”
He was not stupid. Combining the expression and words of the Ancient One, he once again thought of the advice he heard in the mirror space, or it would be more accurate to say that it was a piece of advice.
The Supreme Mage seemed to be an honor, but in fact it was just a shackle. He was a tool who worked for Vishandi and spread his faith. Although he saw a wider world than the ignorant people, he was also a prisoner trapped in a larger sandbox.
The Ancient One raised his eyebrows, pursed his thin lips and said
“It seems that you really understand. In fact, your will is very strong, but you should also be careful of subtle influences.”
“Any rough interference or control by external forces is not the most terrifying. The real horror is the silent change, from the seemingly ordinary things to guide your will to spontaneously change into the form they want.”
After she finished speaking, she turned around and continued to walk forward, and came to a very secluded side hall.
This side hall is the only pure Daxia architectural style palace among the many buildings of Kamar-Taj. The main hall has been transformed into a huge quiet room. There is a big word”quiet” hanging on the wall. The font is vigorous and powerful, and it makes people feel calm when they look at it. There are several futons and low coffee tables below.
The two sat opposite each other on the futon, with a mahogany coffee table in the middle.
Master Gu Yi picked up the empty teapot, pinched the magic formula in one hand, and the magic power surged out, forming several rings of light on his wrist. He rotated counterclockwise a few times, and hot steam came out of the spout of the teapot.
She took two teacups and poured hot tea into them one after another. A faint unique tea fragrance floated in the air
“Have a taste. This is the tea I planted on the hillside where Kamar-Taj is located when I was bored..”
“Boiled with pure ice and snow melt water, it has a different taste than other teas.”
Lin Qiming looked at the teacup pushed over on the table. It was not made of gold or wood, and was not made of ordinary materials. He couldn’t help but guess that it might be a teacup made by this powerful supreme wizard with magic.
He didn’t feel too restrained, and took a sip from the teacup.
The tea smelled lightly of tea, but when it first went in, it felt bitter in the mouth, making people want to find a spittoon to spit it out immediately, but before they really did so, a rich and mellow aftertaste bloomed from the tip of their tongue, and later they actually tasted a hint of sweetness and mellowness.
“Good tea, good water, but it’s not good to drink!”
Master Gu Yi tasted the tea carefully and did not respond to this somewhat complaining remark.
Under the eaves outside the hall, a row of bronze bells rang with the wind, jingling and playing cheerful rhythmic notes. The mountain breeze that passed through the magic barrier of Kamar-Taj faded the extreme cold that was enough to freeze people to death, and brought a ray of warm breeze belonging to spring.
“Do you just want to stay here for 3 days until your ability takes effect?”
“It is a very foolish thing to return empty-handed after entering a mountain of treasures. Your future is destined to be bumpy. There may be many enemies at that time. It is not ruled out that you will fight against the mystic wizard of Kamar-Taj.”
“I won’t advise you to learn magic, but it won’t hurt to learn a little bit!”
Master Gu Yi said, and picked up the teapot again, pouring a cup for himself and Lin Qiming.
“It’s easy to say when I’m here, but you should understand that when I’m gone……”
She didn’t finish her words, but her meaning was conveyed.
Lin Qiming couldn’t say that the system had been copied. He lowered his head and looked at the golden tea in the cup for a while, then slowly raised his head and said with a burning gaze
“Actually it’s okay to learn it, but I don’t want to be a magician who borrows and casts spells. I want to be a real magician!”

“You have extremely rich experience. You should know some of the most primitive and pure methods of practicing and casting magic before magic appeared and was labeled by those beings who defined and classified it, right?”
Master Gu Yi looked at the man who was sitting cross-legged and talking in front of her. She didn’t expect that his ambition was so huge. He wanted to trace the roots of magic and refused to sign a contract with the dimensional demon like other wizards to borrow power to cast spells. Instead, he wanted to embark on a side path or become a real magician who cast magic with his own energy when magic just appeared.
She was silent for a long time, and her thoughts went back to the time when she had just become an apprentice of the mystic wizard. (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Once upon a time, this idea had sprouted in her heart, but after reading all the books about magic in Kamar-Taj, she could only give up this grand but extremely difficult path.
“I have no interest in becoming a follower of any demon god to borrow their power to perform magic, but I am very interested in how Kamar-Taj’s magic power is used. If I can use my own energy to perform magic, it will also be a powerful means of fighting the enemy.”
“Any path of cultivation emphasizes the three core concepts of technique, method, and way. Among them, the way is the most important, which generally refers to the road and path. It is the starting point and cornerstone of cultivation and the ultimate direction.”
“The law is a kind of law, which provides specific rules and frameworks for seeking the Tao and practicing, and is the bridge between Tao and art. Finally, art is the means to achieve goals and solve problems according to the specific rules and framework of the Tao sought, with one’s own skills and methods.”
Master Gu Yi listened quietly, without interrupting the seemingly irrelevant words.[]
She was born in Daxia and her surname was Yao. She was not so ignorant of the theories of Eastern Taoism, but it was the first time she heard someone look at magic practice from this perspective.
“So what you mean is, put aside the white magic and stick to your own way, but use the white magic techniques and methods to build your own magic system. Am I right in understanding this?”
Lin Qiming nodded slightly without refuting her words.
Master Gu Yi showed a strange smile at the corner of her mouth, and there was also a teasing look in her eyes.
In terms of her understanding of various cultivation sects, her experience and background can be ranked in the forefront of the world. She slowly opened her mouth and told an ancient story.
“If I understood correctly, then what you did was insane, at least that’s how other mystic mages see it. This kind of blasphemy against their faith will make them swear to kill you.”
“《In the 45th volume of the Miscellaneous Collection, there is a record of what the demon Poxun said to the Buddha. He said that he would send his followers to infiltrate the Buddhist monks, wear robes, distort the scriptures and break the precepts, so that the world would spit on your teachings and Dharma.”
“Don’t you think these two analogies are familiar?”
Lin Qiming smiled awkwardly and laughed.
“Haha, you’re exaggerating, it’s not that scary!”
Master Gu Yi didn’t comment on his evasion and changed the subject.
“Kamar-Taj has set up three major temples around the world as a magical barrier that covers the entire earth and prevents the invasion of dimensional demons. This has been passed down since the era of the first supreme wizard, Saint Agamotto.”
“..You also know that we have to pay a price to cast spells. Maintaining such a huge magic barrier is not something that can be supported by mages like Kamar-Taj, not to mention the era of the saints.”
“It was fine when the Saint was alive. His infinite power was enough to support the huge consumption of the magic barrier. But when he left the Earth and went to the White Magic Dimension, he modified the magic barrier settings and changed it to transfer the cost to the power of the earth veins in the area where the temple was located and the spiritual power of the people who were simply lost to offset it.”
Lin Qiming was a little puzzled and didn’t know what she was going to say.
Master Gu Yi took a sip of tea, pursed his lips and continued
“You also know that the population is mobile, and it is human nature to yearn for a more developed environment that can better meet material needs. Therefore, the site of the temple that was enough to pay the price in the past often loses personnel and can no longer be supported after a few hundred years. We in Kamar-Taj have to modify the nodes of the magic barrier and build a new temple in a place with a large enough population and sufficient earth vein power.”
“This huge costly project is a heavy burden for the impoverished Kamar-Taj. The world’s population has changed a lot recently, and it won’t be long before the reconstruction is needed.……”
Having said that, what else did Lin Qiming not understand?
It was just a fundraising campaign, but the Supreme Sorcerer was still being evasive and crying poor to him in a roundabout way. In fact, whether Kamar-Taj was poor or not, a time traveler would know.
“”Okay, okay, I get it. How much do you need?”
Master Gu Yi smiled and stretched out five fingers and said calmly.
“500,000 pounds, after all, many ordinary building materials are not suitable. Materials that contain a certain amount of natural power or mysterious power must be used, or at least materials that can withstand magic refining, otherwise the temple will not be able to connect with the magic barrier.”
“I think this is not an unbearable amount for you, and I am not asking for your money for nothing. You can read all the books on the development of magic in the Kamar-Taj collection, including the research notes left by some Supreme Wizards who boldly tried to deconstruct white magic.”
Hearing the huge sum of 500,000 pounds, Lin Qiming wanted to refuse.
How much is his family background? With real estate and various industries, it is at most more than 20 million pounds. He still has to plan big things in the future. This amount of money is not enough to fill the gaps between his teeth. Throwing away 500,000 in vain is as painful as cutting off a piece of meat.
But when Master Gu Yi said the last sentence, his painful feeling disappeared. With the reference of the research notes made by predecessors, he can save a lot of effort by learning from their experience.
It is too cheap to buy this knowledge for only 500,000 pounds. If it is put up for auction in the wizard world, some wizards are probably willing to move a mountain of gold in exchange.
“It’s just 500,000 pounds. I’ll take it all on to protect the earth and mankind!”
Lin Qiming patted his chest and agreed, but he also made a request.
“I will definitely pay the money, but your promise must be fulfilled tomorrow!”
“I will take a rest tonight to give you some time to prepare. I will see all the books you mentioned tomorrow morning. The sooner the books are delivered, the faster I can pay!”
“I have already paid 500,000 pounds. If I don’t really research something and learn some magic of my own, I always feel that I have lost a lot!”
Master Gu Yi smiled but said nothing. He picked up the teapot and poured him another cup of hot tea.
Those things piled up in the library and no one read them could be sold for 500,000 pounds to build a new temple. Even Vishanti would have to praise her for knowing how to live.
