Chapter 66

Time flies.

Not long after confirming the magic treasure he wanted to create, Jie Ming submitted an application to leave the academy and travel outside.

After all, the interior of Nuolun Academy is a complete small world with extremely stable properties; being able to see the sun rise is already an unexpected joy. As for moonlight, starlight, or rainbows after rain, unless one specifically finds someone to create them, one shouldn't even think about it.

Therefore, in order to collect materials for making the magic treasure, Jie Ming had no choice but to leave Nuolun Academy and travel around.

Fortunately, as a target personnel of the Level 2 Cultivation Agreement, Jie Ming himself has rights equivalent to a formal wizard, which is why he was able to apply to leave.

Otherwise, collecting raw materials alone would be enough to give him a headache.

However, Jie Ming did not immediately start collecting raw materials after leaving the academy; instead, he traveled through different regions as he had requested in his application.

After all, ever since he transmigrated into this world, the first half of his life had been spent in a small town, and what he saw was always the scenery of a medieval small town.

It wasn't until one day later that a lord's attendant suddenly came to their home and informed him that he had been detected to have wizard talent.

But whether it was going to the lord's mansion or coming to Nuolun Academy, everything was done through teleportation arrays.

And at that time, Jie Ming's heart was full of fear; he had no mind at all to experience the local customs of this world.

"But now it can be confirmed that the reserve personnel cultivation system of wizard civilization is indeed quite perfect."

After Jie Ming left a city, he couldn't help but sigh with such emotion.

Jie Ming's travels did not last long because he discovered that in Plane Nuolun 13, cities in any region were almost like they were carved from the same mold.

Except for the clothing differences caused by different regions and climates, the rest—not just human customs, but even the planning of the cities and the number and distribution of villages around the cities—were abnormally identical.

Wizards control the productivity of the entire civilization quite subtly; the vast majority of people can be well-fed as long as they work hard enough, but it is not an easy thing to become overly wealthy.

Basic education also only teaches basic literacy and mathematics to ensure that they do not need additional education after coming to the academy.

Even in the most remote small villages, wizards can ensure that the children inside can enjoy a suitable medical system and basic education.

Of course, the style of basic education in regions with different economic levels is also different.

Like those small mountain villages, the personnel conducting education might just be "an old village chief with culture who returned from the city teaching literacy for free."

And like the town where Jie Ming originally lived, schools would be established, and as long as one paid a not-too-large sum of money, one could receive one year of education.

"It's really exaggerated; I thought artificial souls should be relatively rare, but I didn't expect that the entire plane would be covered with the eyes and ears of wizards..."

That's right, whether it's the village chief of a village or the city lord of a city, the main political personnel of every town are "artificial humans."

Although they are no different from ordinary people in terms of intelligence or body, after systematic learning, Jie Ming has barely been able to recognize that these people should all be artificial humans created by alchemy.

Both their bodies and souls are created by alchemy; although they look quite crude, and many even present a posture where the body and soul are not very coordinated, these people are indeed artificial.

"That's right, the uncertainty of ordinary people is too great; only artificial humans can perfectly execute the policies of wizards."

Thinking of this, Jie Ming couldn't help but shiver.

He was somewhat fortunate; fortunately, he had been cautious ever since he transmigrated and had not revealed any particularly special problems in front of people.

"Looking at it this way, I still have to thank that lord at the time; if it weren't for him 'timely' letting me know the truth of the world, who knows what would have happened later."

When the attendant of that Level 2 wizard lord suddenly appeared at his doorstep back then, Jie Ming had just broken through to Qi Condensation Stage 1 less than a month prior.

If the other party had come a few days later, Jie Ming, feeling he had enough strength and unable to restrain himself, might have really gone out to train, and one can imagine what would have happened then.

As for why the lord could know his talent, Jie Ming also roughly understood after his travels.

The fact that the distribution and structure of all cities and towns are the same is not just for the convenience of management, but also because every region is composed of many cities and towns forming a huge magic array.

The effect of these magic arrays is to test the aptitude level of the internal personnel, so all lords do not need to spend time and effort to test the residents under their command one by one; they only need to open the detection magic array every once in a while to collect enough data.

"Temperature, terrain, ecological environment, human culture, economic level... everything is precisely arranged; is this the level of transformation wizards have carried out on the planes they have mastered?"

After scanning the entire forest with the Eye of Detection and confirming that the distribution of biological species inside was exactly the same as another forest thousands of kilometers away, Jie Ming couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

While sighing, Jie Ming also gave up the idea of continuing to travel.

After all, even the biological species in the wild are strictly controlled, so there is no point in continuing to travel; it is better to start the real business he came out for.

According to his understanding of the concepts of the Five-Element Rainbow-Transforming Mirror and the hints in the Great Dao Book Pavilion, each concept of light needs to be successfully condensed at least three to five times to accumulate enough "weight" to serve as the foundation of the magic treasure.

The light of morning glow is the easiest to collect, and he had already collected almost enough before leaving the academy.

His second target is the light of moonlight.

The light of moonlight contains the concepts of "tranquil concealment" and "long-lasting continuity."

It represents the characteristic of soft light that travels silently in the darkness and lasts for a long time.

The best time for collection is on the night of a full moon, when the moonlight is as clear as water, there are no clouds to block it, and one is far away from human habitation, when the environment is sufficiently tranquil and pure.

Relying on his super mobility, Jie Ming chose a plateau far away from towns and rarely visited by people.

The sky here at night is especially clear; on the night of a full moon, the moonlight sprinkles over the earth like silver frost.

The Wizarding World is a structure of plane clusters; although the structure in each plane is different, most planes are of the type where the sky is round and the earth is square, and only a few planes have worlds that are similar to planets.

However, this does not mean that these planes do not have suns and moons; it's just that the suns and moons in most planes are not stars and planets in the conventional sense, but projections of the fire element plane and the water element plane.

As for whether there are stars, it depends on the specific situation of each plane.

In some planes, stars are the divine kingdoms of the native gods of those planes, but in more planes, stars are actually projections of neighboring planes.
