It's possible to practice magic this way, right?

When Alina was about to say something to Lin Li, Sean walked in and said, "Everyone, dinner is ready. Let's go eat first."

"If anyone doesn't want to eat, they can just sit aside and watch. I don't mind at all."

Lin Li said: "Why not eat the free dinner?"

Xiao En's appearance just relieved the awkwardness when the two sides first met. Lin Li led his parents to walk in front, and let Dongfang Jing and Xiao Wu follow behind.

Lin Li was very unhappy with this dinner. The reason was not the awkwardness between Lin Li's parents and the two girls who had just met, but because Li Xuanming and Sean were also there.

We are having a family dinner, how dare two unrelated people sit at the same table with us? It would have been fine if they just sat down, but they kept asking about their journey. Lin Li had no time to talk to his parents and the two girls.

By the time he finished telling what had happened along the way, they had finished their meal.

"Okay, now that we're done, I won't disturb your family reunion. You should spend the next two days with them. In three days, the three of you will be going on a long journey."

"I just stopped, why do you want to go out again? How can you bear to use me as a laborer?"

"You're idle anyway, and with such high combat power, of course I have to find something for you to do. Don't worry, you won't be at a disadvantage. Besides, you're familiar with that place. Not only is the place familiar to you, but the person in charge there is also someone you know."

"Oh? Where is it?"

"The world of the dead beneath Qingshan Town."

"Where are you asking me to go and what?"

"I'll tell you the details tomorrow. Sean, please arrange accommodation for the three of them. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Lin Li had just learned that his parents had been here for more than a month. They were temporarily living in the staff dormitory of this institute. Although this dormitory was not as big as their home, with only two bedrooms and a living room, it was definitely comfortable enough.

There were all kinds of household magic devices. In many ways, they were more advanced than the appliances in his previous life, and there was even a magic TV with a stone image-retaining plate. If you count the communication magic devices whose technology was not yet mature, there were even mobile phones. It was just a pity that the functions of the mobile phones were too limited.

These advanced things were all things Val and his friends had never seen before. They used them with caution at first, but soon they couldn't let go.

Compared to this, life in the Western Continent is so backward, like primitive people.

Val is a person who cannot sit still. At his initiative, Li Xuanming arranged a job for him. Just a few days before the start of school, he was asked to be a teacher at the Warrior Academy. From training soldiers to training students, it was still a good match for his major.

The place Sean arranged for him to live was next door to his parents. In the evening, Lin Li had a good talk with his father and explained his current situation.

……

"So, our family was targeted by others because you created a technique that can increase lifespan?"

Lin Li nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. In fact, we have already promised to trade the technique to them, but we are afraid that some people will want to keep it for themselves. In fact, there are a large number of people who don't want this technique to be released at all."

"This cultivation method that greatly increases lifespan will change so many things."

"Isn't your current situation very dangerous?"

"It's okay. I'm not someone who can be dealt with by just any random person. Now that you are protected, I don't have anything to worry about."

"By the way, I'll give you this technique first. You can practice it with my mother and Aunt Celis. As for my brother, he's still young, so he can wait for now."

Val shook his head: "No, don't give it to me right now. Wait until you trade the technique before giving it to me."

"Besides, when your technique breaks through, there will be thunder of heavenly punishment. With the looks of your mother and Celis, I really don't dare to practice it on them."

Lin Li thought about his mother's appearance during the tribulation. Uh, it was hard to imagine the scene.

"It is indeed a bit difficult for the two of them to survive the tribulation."

"It seems that we have to think of a solution later."

"Since you don't want it now, let's talk about it later."

Val then asked, "By the way, is that girl with pointy ears an elf?"

"Xiao Wu is not an elf, only her ears look like one. She is a mixed-blood succubus."

"In fact, she was a test subject born from the succubus being forcibly injected with elf and human blood. Because of her beautiful appearance, she was originally sold as a slave to the nobles for their entertainment."

"I met her by chance. But I didn't treat her as a slave. You should just treat her as an ordinary person from now on. She is usually very well behaved."

"As for Dongfang Jing, she is also a very good person. She also knows about Eudora's affairs. But she has never expressed any opposition."

"She can get along well with Xiao Wu, and I believe she will get along well with Eudora as well. You don't have to worry about this. I will take care of it."

"In that case, I won't say anything more. Eudora sent a message last time saying that she was accepted as a student by the God of Law, Hill Carter. She is now in the garrison area of ​​the Abyss Battlefield of the Orkin Empire with the maid you brought back last time."

"You'd better take her back as soon as possible. After all, you are already engaged. She is your real fiancée. It's not a man's thing to let his woman stay out for a long time."

"Hill Carter accepted her as a student? Uh, Hill Carter is Xiao Wu's father after all. Xiao Wu's birth was actually an experiment he conducted."

Lin Li added in his mind, it was a failed experiment.

"It seems that I must meet this Hill Carter."

"Okay, now that I know about this, I will find a way to bring Eudora over."

Lin Li said this, but he knew in his heart that since Eudora had been accepted as a student by Hillcart, no matter what the other party's purpose was, it would not be easy for him to take her over.

Forget it, this matter can only be put aside for now. At present, his most important thing is to come up with a difficult version of the technique. Also, find a way to cultivate the soul as soon as possible and improve his own strength.

After talking to Val, he returned to his own dormitory next door.

I originally thought that Dongfang Jing and Xiao Wu had already been waiting for me, but I found out that they both had projected their consciousness into the stone statue of Lilith.

Not understanding what the two of them were doing, Lin Li followed them in curiously.

Lin Li hadn't been here for a while. He was shocked when he came in. The room, which was originally decorated very romantically, was now in a mess, with no place to step.

The floor was covered with magic patterns and drawings of magic arrays. The walls were also covered with them. The original walls were no longer visible. Even the big heart-shaped bed was filled with them.

Magic patterns generally refer to magic with a single effect, while magic arrays are composed of many magic patterns. There is a big difference between the two.

At this time, Dongfang Jing was discussing with Lilith, while Xiao Wu was collecting the scattered drawings. Only Gray was missing.

"How did you guys mess up the room like this? What kind of drawings are these?"

Only after hearing Lin Li's voice did Lilith and Dongfang Jing stop their discussion.

Dongfang Jing said, "You're back so early? I thought you would talk to your parents for a long time?"

"Conversations between father and son are always quick. Except when being scolded."

"What are you doing? Why is it such a mess?"

Dongfang Jing explained: "Didn't I introduce all elements into my meridians in the Ouk Continent?"

"My aptitude for all elements is very high now, and the effect is almost catching up with my previous all-element magic core."

“So I’ve been working on new wings since I came back.”

"New wings?"

"Yes, since all elements can have wings, I was wondering if we could combine them and make a wing of all elements."

Lin Li asked in surprise: "Wings of all elements? How is this possible? Wouldn't there be conflicts between different elements?"

Lilith said: "I also thought it was impossible at first. But Dongfang Jing told me about the elements in her body."

"Different elements run independently in her body and intersect with each other. There is no conflict at all. This makes me feel that the problem of element conflict can be solved."

Dongfang Jing continued Lilith's words and said, "So I want to research a full element wing based on the element ecology within the meridians."

"Why do you always pick on a wing?"

"Is this a problem with the wings? This is a problem with the balance and operation of different elements. Moreover, this is different from the previous all-element magic core. The elements of the multi-element magic core are separated by spiritual power."

"But the elements running in the meridians are not like that. The 12 meridians you told me about are interconnected. Many acupuncture points are intersections. But the elements in each meridian can pass through these intersections smoothly. They do not interfere with each other at all."

"The key is that, when necessary, these elements can be autonomously controlled to interchange the routes within the meridians."

Lin Li thought for a moment and said, "Maybe the acupuncture points are three-dimensional. You feel that the elements are intersecting in a certain acupuncture point, but in fact, one of them is going above and the other is going below, and they are not touching at all."

Lilith said, "We thought so too. So Dongfang Jing and I have been studying how to make the magic patterns and magic array three-dimensional. Let the magic array have thickness."

"Three-dimensional? With thickness?" Lin Li repeated in surprise.

"Yes, it is three-dimensional. It is not as simple as stacking two or more magic circles together."

"The technology of superimposing magic arrays and magic patterns is already quite advanced. It is most commonly used in forging technology and the production of magic devices, which can allow a weapon to have multiple skills and effects."

“But the stacking technique has an inevitable flaw. No matter how many layers you stack or how many skills you have, only one can be used at the same time. In other words, you can only use them one by one.

"But this three-dimensional magic circle is different. You can use two or more at the same time."

"Just like Dongfang Jing now, he can call upon two different elements at the same time while splitting his attention."

Lin Li asked: "Calling on two different elements? Can two different types of magic be released at the same time?"

Dongfang Jing then said, "Originally it was impossible, because there was only one spiritual force, but you injected spiritual force into the magic book at the Aojin Empire Exchange Conference. This allowed you to release two kinds of magic at the same time."

"So I tried to separate some of my mental power and integrate it into the meridians, so that it can travel with the elements in the meridians. This way, I can release magic of two different elements at the same time."

"And I only need to allocate a little bit of mental energy. The function of this mental energy is just to connect the elements in the meridians and my golden elixir."

"For example, before, when we cast spells, it was like attacking with a fist. But now I have opened my fist, with five more fingers, and each finger can attack. And the attack strength of the fingers and fist is the same."

"But this really tests your ability to multitask. I have no problem multitasking at the moment, but if I multitask three times, I won't be able to keep up at the critical moment."

Lilith then continued, "It is definitely not possible to rely on manpower alone to divide and multitask. However, a three-dimensional magic circle does not have this problem. Because the three-dimensional magic circle is still a whole."

Lin Li probably understood what this meant.

"Have you achieved any results now?"

Dongfang Jing said: "Originally we didn't even know how to start this, until I remembered the emblem left behind during the elemental awakening in the Ork Continent."

"When each element entered my body, a magic emblem would appear. However, these emblems appeared in the same place, just below the back of my neck."

Lin Li was naturally very familiar with the emblem, as he saw it every night. In addition to this emblem, Dongfang Jing also had a dragon tattooed on the back of his left shoulder. This was a tattoo that all the direct descendants of the three major families in the Yunyi Empire had, and it was a symbol of status.

In addition, there is a battle pattern of Thunder Wings printed on her back, but this battle pattern is printed with an invisible potion. It will only appear when it is used.

Many female warriors use invisible battle patterns, which will not affect the appearance. Of course, the cost is much higher.

Dongfang Jing continued, "So I asked Lilith to take a close look at the emblem behind me. This multi-element emblem is actually a three-dimensional magic array. When practicing with the elemental cultivation method of their locals, this emblem will be activated and has the function of attracting elements."

"This should be a weakened version of Alex's ability. The effect is much smaller than the elemental attraction of the Elemental Temple. It is also possible that the effect is discounted again because the world is different."

"Through this emblem, we finally found a clue to the three-dimensional magic circle. Fortunately, I haven't used potions to wash it off yet."

"It just so happened that I had made all the magic patterns for elemental wings a while ago."

"So we are now studying the three-dimensional magic array of all-element wings. Three-dimensional arrays with different elements and the same magic effect are relatively simple. It's just right for practicing."
