Chapter 010: A Brief History of Magic (Part II)

It was a specific emotion that controlled the release of the red particles of the third eye (which Bao Qirui called an element) that spewed out that fire. Bao Qirui recalled the path of the elements when he breathed fire, and found that in the state of shallow meditation, it was also possible to artificially control the amount and speed of the elements. He wrote down a mantra-like phrase to help him get into shallow meditation faster: In the name of the god of fire, burn the old woman's mouth.

Accumulating enough elements in the third eye, Bao Qirui kept repeating the words scolding the old woman and began to try again and again. But not every fire-breathing success is possible, and the size of the fire is not as good as it could be, which Bao Qirui believes is due to insufficient proficiency.

He tirelessly experimented, and when the elements of the third eye ran out, he meditated and accumulated again. He discovered that elements could also escape from his fingers or palms and turn into flames or balls of fire. No, it is theoretically possible to run out of any part of the body, but only the dexterity and control of the mouth and hands are enough to activate the magic. In this way, humans have one more advantage over other animals - they don't have to roar to cast magic.

The more he practiced, the shorter and shorter the time it took him to activate the fire magic, at first it took more than ten seconds, like a bubble of to squeeze it out, and then it only took two or three seconds, and sometimes he didn't even need to recite the incantation to scold his wife.

However, if the released fire mass is relatively large, the activation time will definitely be longer. And you will feel tired after release, and you will need to rest for a while before releasing the next fire ball. If he activated the large fire magic several times in a row, he would be exhausted and would have to rest all day to recover.

As the scale of the elements contained in his third eye grows larger, his body automatically secretes some substances, which form crystals at the third eye, and the elements are stored in it stably.

Bao Qirui personally verified that his theory was correct. Located in the third eye region of the brain, the Magic Crystal is a crystal formed by the combination of biological secretions and elements. A person can activate the third eye through meditation and other cultivation methods, thus becoming a magician.

Bao Qirui started the initial stage of magical civilization, he was revered as the father of magic, and he created a complete meditation technique, although it has been revised and improved many times, but the name has always been "Bao Meditation Method".

Since there are red particles, there must be other kinds of elements, and Bao Qirui believes that the whole world is made up of these and their subtle elements. He led his students to study the Poison Gas Beast, but once again confirmed the myth that the Gas Monster does not have a crystal nucleus, and its poison gas is stored in special organs near the stomach or anus.

I had to study their poisonous gases, and only this relatively pure thing was easy to get into, and if you directly used deep meditation to observe other things, such as the composition of the human body, you could only fall into boundless chaos and chaos.

There is no single elemental particle in the poison gas, the smallest unit is the individual formed by the combination of different elemental particles in different quantities, and the combination method and type are different, and Bao Qirui calls these smallest individuals molecules. He was very confident that his third eye had already formed a crystal nucleus, and he did not listen to the dissuasion of the students to guide some poison gas molecules to the third eye. Then the next day, the fledgling wizarding world received an obituary: the great Master Bao had died in his quest for a glorious cause of human progress.

Later generations learned a lesson, and in addition to purity, safety was also taken into account when selecting research objects, such as air, water, metal, etc., and some new discoveries were made one after another. The composition of water molecules is mainly water element, supplemented by gold element, air contains many different molecules, the most common molecular composition is water element and wind element, the molecular composition of gold in metal is gold element and fire element, silver molecule is composed of gold element and water element, copper molecule is gold element and earth element, iron element is gold element and wood element.

In the 100 years since Bao Qirui's death, many outstanding figures have emerged on the path of the advancement of magical civilization. One of the most famous of these is Minglie Barchidon, who discovered and slew a rare high-level magical beast with powerful self-healing abilities, and obtained a magic crystal that has never been seen before, the wood elemental magic crystal. The crystal was purchased at auction by a magician for a sky-high price, and miraculously healed his brother, who had been severed for many years.

Of course, this is not the only way to do this, as his third eye has been developed to a level that no one has ever done before, and he is able to use the elements of the outside world to cast magic in shallow meditation. For this purpose, he deliberately created a meditation technique to guide people's practice—the world called the Baredonian meditation.

After Barchiton, the individual combat power of Western magicians has greatly improved, and smelting, medicine, weapon manufacturing and other disciplines have also made great progress, and magical civilization has entered a stage of rapid growth.

Various human nations in the West have risen one after another, such as Ceimeni, Featheria, Nongli, St. Valence, Rochia, etc. Under the protection of the army, the mage group slaughtered or drove away one powerful demonic beast after another, so that they only dared to live in the cold and desolate land of the far north. Not only did the entire western continent become the world of the human race, but the ambitious kings also ordered the magicians to "conquer to the end of the world" in advanced seafaring ships, thus ushering in the century-long Age of Discovery.

Everywhere the Western powers went, they surrendered without a fight at the slightest magic, and the other invaded kingdoms, large and small, worshipped them as "mortal gods" (in fact, they were demons in their hearts). However, whether the aggressor is merciful or brutal does not depend on whether you resist or not, but on the gap between you and them. The races that they looked at and found useful became their eagles and accomplices, those who were less civilized but had the strength became their slaves, and the others, naturally useless, were slaughtered.

As they sailed further west, they discovered a virgin continent with no written civilization and only a small number of indigenous humans living in common with brute beasts. A group of magicians were unwilling to have an empty spell, but they could only be driven by the nobility to reclaim the land where birds did not, so they encouraged the soldiers of the fleet to bring their families or take women from other places to establish a new country on the continent, the Holy Salon Federation. Salons means freedom.

The Salonian Federation continued to absorb foreign populations and vigorously developed a magical civilization, and in less than a hundred years, it developed into a very powerful country. When the Western powers united to invade the Great Kang Empire, the Saron Federation was one of them.

Ten years before the war between Eastern and Western civilizations, a young man named Edward Soros, an ancient consortium from the Salon Federation, came into contact with the Yin and Yang Five Elements Doctrine while traveling to the Dakang Empire. Inspired by this, at the age of twenty, he wrote The Theory of Elements, which essentially explains what elements are, how they relate to each other, and how people can use them to improve themselves and transform the world. As for the "third eye", which is closely related to magic, Edward calls it the "Holy Spring" in the book.

Excited, Edward hurriedly returned to China and established one systematic magical university after another with the help of his family, making great contributions to the popularization of magical education. The appearance of "The Theory of Elements" also marked the maturity of magical civilization.

As revealed in the Theory of Elements, the entire material world is composed of ten elements: water, metal, earth, wood, fire, dark ice, wind, thunder, and light. Therefore, magic is also called ten-system magic.

Water, gold, earth, wood, and fire are called the five elements, which are essential for the composition of matter. Water overcomes fire, wood begets fire, fire begets earth, earth begets gold, gold begets water, water overcomes fire, fire overcomes gold, gold overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, and earth begets water.

Water, gold, earth, wood, and fire correspond to dark ice, wind, thunder, and light, respectively, and the latter five are called the five elements. Darkness gives birth to thunder, thunder gives birth to light, light gives birth to wind, wind generates ice, ice generates darkness; The word "wind" in the "Theory of Elements" should be translated as "qi" more appropriately, but in order to distinguish the "qi" in the theory of cultivation, it is translated as style. The five elements and the five elements are isomorphic differences, one yin and one yang, one real and one virtual.

Water and darkness belong to the yin, sex flows, and the main is moist.

Gold and ice belong to the less yin, the sex is solid, and the main collection is killed.

Earth and wind are the places where yin and yang are born and die.

Wood and thunder belong to Shaoyang, sex stretches, and the main life is broken.

Fire and light belong to the sun, and the sex is vigorous, and the main ring surges.
