——Asking for Sanjiang tickets, I am going to be caught up.

Mercury had already taken out the black corpse mushrooms he brought, they were packed in a simple jewelry box, a total of three, one dark and two light black, exuding a strong putrid smell: "Mr. Professor, this is the black corpse mushroom you want, as long as you guide me on the question of this element, you can take them all."
According to the witch's records, she had participated in several magic gatherings in the family hermitage, and the black corpse mushroom was about ten silver nars each, which was equivalent to the money Lucian could save for a month without eating or drinking, and the darker the color, the more expensive it was, and even sometimes the price was just a symbol, because this kind of thing is not so easy to find unless you cultivate it yourself.
Lucian brought the jewelry box in front of him, judging from the color, breath, shape, etc., it was indeed a real black corpse mushroom, so he nodded slightly: "You ask."
"Mr. Professor, why does the article "A New Element Determined by a New Method" in the journal "Arcane" use 'element' to describe the 'Tai' extracted from the sunstone, isn't the basic element earth, fire and feng shui? Mercury asked nervously and tremblingly, as if she herself knew that this question should be about the important difference between the ancient magic system and the current magic system, and would subvert the elemental magic knowledge she had learned before.
Lucian shrank his hands in his black robe, pondered for a while before slowly saying in a gloomy and hoarse voice: "Actually, I also learned ancient magic, but when I learned, experimented, and performed magic, I always felt a sense of incongruity, and I knew the conclusion, but I didn't know why it was this conclusion For example, the vine has found a big tree to attach to, such as the gravity mentioned in the first article, this is not that I have thorough research on this aspect, but this article just explains the answer I am thinking."
"So, I only told you about the application of formulas just now, not the relevant basic principles of magic, in addition to taking years or more than ten years for you to understand and master, but also because I myself barely understand, I haven't studied it thoroughly."
Lucian gradually calmed down from the excitement of seeing the "Arcane" journal and coming into contact with the magic circle, and realized that the official magician "professor" who was pretending to be mysterious just now was too engaged, and there was a big problem.
Although these magic apprentices couldn't see it, and the ancient inheritance magicians who might exist behind them shouldn't be able to see it, they wouldn't be in danger for a long time, but if they were known by the arcanists and magicians from the headquarters of the Continental Magic Council, if they were found out by the church that might have planted spies in the magician circle, they would definitely doubt their identity, so Lucian hurriedly made up for it before the matter spread and shaped himself into the kind of genius magician who was keen and good at thinking.
"It seems that when encountering things, I still can't calm down to an inhuman level, and I will be careless because of excitement, excitement and other emotions, killing people in the sewer and facing the strong calm state of facing a dead body, should belong to the psychological preparation in advance, and during this period of time because of the maturity brought about by various experiences, I have developed my own potential, from body to mind, I understand that I must not be nervous in the face of danger." Lucian reflected on himself in his heart, and at the same time continued:
"The article "A New Element Determined by a New Method" does not have many formulas, it is a standard result-based magic experiment, for the element theory mentioned in it, I can only briefly state my opinion, you need to judge for yourself whether it is correct or not."
Mercury was no longer uneasy or trembling in her sweet voice, and it could be seen that she was not much worse than Lucian in terms of concentration and calmness: "Okay, Mr. Professor, in that case, let the other companions listen too, well, you will judge too."
This kind of issue of "Mercury" producing magic materials for Lucian to explain and guide, if she is unwilling to make it public, will be a private communication, and the important part will even use "communication skills", but it seems that Mercury was a little apprehensive by Lucian's words, so she simply made it public to see what others understood.
After Lucian made up for his mistake just now, he stopped talking nonsense and talked about the elements: "In fact, since the ancient magicians did not find their imaginary four elemental planes in the inner layer of the material world, although most magicians think it is a problem with methods such as space folding, but there are already a small number of magicians who doubt the correctness of earth fire feng shui as an element.
"I haven't researched exactly what it is, but from this article, at least for now, the mainstream within magicians should be to redefine elements and discover new elements......"
After it produces a violent explosion, a pure, beautiful silver-gray crystal will appear, hardness and flexibility are better than mithril, and the relative lightness also surpasses mithril, it is a new element, a precious material, because it was found from the sunstone, so it was named "too".
Lucian spoke while judging the progress of the magical world in terms of elements from this article: "It should have been defined as an element, and new elements began to be discovered in addition to the regular elements, but from the description of properties and other descriptions, there has not yet been anything about the regularity and prediction of the elements, but the properties of some elements are very different from the elements that the earth knows, which leads to some magic that is beyond imagination."
After hearing Lucian casually cite a few apprentice-level elemental magic and items and materials in daily life as evidence, after talking about the elemental issue of "Earth, Fire, Feng Shui", Mercury and other magic apprentices were silent for a short time.
"Mr. Professor, I, I think you're right, my ...... Many of the problems I encountered in learning elemental magic would be easily solved if I were to explain it like this, thank you very much!" After a while, Mercury thanked Lucian with obvious excitement in his voice, and almost missed his mouth.
The mournered man also said in a cold and eerie voice: "Mr. Professor, can you tell me more about the elements, is the soul also made of some peculiar element? Although there is no ghost dust in the magic materials and items I brought, you can choose another one."
He seems to be mainly learning necromancy, but since there are no articles on necromancy in this issue of "Arcane", he can only ask elemental questions that may be related to necromancy.
Smyer, Sage, White Glove, White Honey and other apprentices after Lucian finished talking about the elemental issue, and there was no doubt about his identity, but firmly believed that he was the most knowledgeable and powerful magician with the most thorough understanding of magic they had ever seen, although their research on elemental magic was not as good as mercury, but just the analysis of several apprentice-level elemental magic that Lucian used to prove made them refreshed, as if something was flourishing in their hearts, and after hearing the words of the hanging deed, their eyes were all bright, He looked at Lucian expectantly.
Lucian shook his head: "I'm really not good at soul issues, so I can't explain it to you."
As he spoke, Lucian received the three black corpse mushrooms into the small pocket he specially brought, and at the same time pulled the small wooden box containing a set of magic experimental utensils given by the sage to his side: "Which of you also brought black corpse mushrooms and ghost dust? You can ask questions, and you can also let me buy and exchange magic materials with money."
The water ghost brain tissue can be experimented seven or eight times, and one experiment requires a corpse mushroom, Lucian of course can collect a little more.
"Under the control of the church, black corpse mushrooms cannot be cultivated, and some can only be found in the Black Forest of Merze, so they are very rare, except for mercury, no one else has them for the time being." The sage, who seemed to be the leader of this magical circle, respectfully explained to Lucian in a slightly old voice.
He also participated in two other magic circles, but those official magicians were very arrogant, not really impressing their items, or their magic apprentices, and didn't even think of getting their guidance, so when he met this mysterious "professor" who was much more knowledgeable than those arrogant magicians and was willing to instruct himself and other magic apprentices, the sage was grateful and admired from the bottom of his heart.
Bai Honey, who was also from the magic circle behind him, nodded and echoed the sage: "Mr. Professor, if you need the black corpse mushroom for a long time, once I get it, I will keep it for you, but the ghost dust is more difficult to find, the formation of the ghost, either a unique environment, or a tragic encounter in front of the ghost or a strong emotion that cannot be let go and let go, it is easy to be discovered and purified by the church.
"Black corpse mushrooms are needed for a long time before my magic experiment is successful, and so is the ghost dust." Lucian was a little disappointed, thinking that this time he could gather other items except for the moonshine rose, which was monopolized by the church and nobles, but this emotion was quickly resolved by Lucian, because this was just a circle of magic apprentices, "Okay, take out the magic materials you brought, if I need anything, I will be able to get a chance to ask questions, of course, the value of the question depends on the value of the magic materials."
After Mercury asked questions about the elements in place of themselves and the magician behind them, the other apprentices could only ask Lucian about some of the small problems they encountered in their usual analysis and construction magic, and basically focused on the elemental and astrological magic that Lucian was good at.
As Lucian solved these problems one by one, their eyes looked at Lucian with more and more respect, especially those who had magic teachers behind them, or who had been instructed by formal magicians two or three times, because Lucian seemed to explain and answer these questions more clearly and thoroughly.
Lucian, on the other hand, was very satisfied, with some knowledge that did not involve his unique skills, so he got a set of magic utensils, three black corpse mushrooms, and most of the casting materials and magic circle materials, which really fully embodies the truth that "knowledge equals money"!
