"That's great, Professor Ding. My name is Li Yao. I am a freshman who is about to enter the Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department. I like your works very much. I have collected all four of your works and am currently studying them. I feel that your theories are profound and easy to understand. The data is also very detailed. It is truly a rare theoretical monograph!"
Li Yao was extremely excited.
This Master Refiner Ding Yin from the Hidden God Valley, although he had never refined any world-shaking divine weapons, he was a leading theorist in the refiner circle. He had an extremely deep research on refiner theory and had written quite a few works that had a lot of weight.
The most commendable thing was that the target audience of his works were mainly young people. Therefore, a lot of the basic theories were explained in detail. They were very suitable for introductory teaching materials.
Li Yao had learned a lot from his works and had benefited a lot.
Li Yao did not expect that a rather famous theorist in the refiners' circle would actually dress up in such an ordinary manner. He was at a loss as to what to do. He spoke incoherently, "Professor Ding, you see, I am studying your work. This, this is the original version. There is also your remnant telepathic thought spirit pattern..."
Ding Yin was amused by his words. He laughed and said, "Student Li Yao, you don't need to show it to me. I have already sensed it. It is fate that brought us together. If you don't mind, can I write a few words for you? "
"Great, great!"
Li Yao happily handed over the mini crystal processor. Ding Yin's eyelids drooped. He muttered some words and suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were overflowing with light and color. A golden radiance flashed and shot towards the hologram!
"Alright, Student Li Yao. Your hands are very good. Your foundation is very solid. You are a good material for a refiner! "Ding Yin said with a smile.
In fact, Ding Yin was still somewhat worried in his heart.
Because judging from Li Yao's hands, it was obvious that he had put in a lot of hard work and had a very deep foundation. He even came from a very ancient refining family. Why would he go to a place like the Grand Desolate War Institution to learn refining?
The Grand Desolate War Institution was most famous for its Combat Department. If you want to learn refining, you should go to Deep Sea University!
However, on second thought, the Deep Sea University's Refining Department was the Star Department of the Entire Federation. The cutoff score was very high. Most likely, this young man did not pass the exam and had to settle for the next best thing. Choosing the relatively unpopular Refining Department of the Grand Desolate War Institution was also a choice he had no other choice.
Ding Yin was a refiner from a local cultivation sect, not a member of the Nine Elites. He was usually busy with theoretical research and rarely paid attention to the news in the circle. The news that Li Yao had issued a challenge to the Deep Sea University's Refining Department had yet to reach his ears.
He was old and experienced, so he naturally wouldn't poke at Li Yao's scars. He still encouraged him from the bottom of his heart.
Li Yao took the mini crystal processor and reopened the virtual book. At the bottom of the title page, there was a line of small, flamboyant golden words: "Refining the endless starry sky — for my young friend Li Yao!"
Li Yao's eyes paused on this line of small words, and his vision suddenly blurred. It was as if countless stars had really appeared, and he felt an unfathomable Divine Will aura.
Li Yao knew. This was Ding Yin's soul imprint, which represented that his "signature" could not be imitated by others.
Li Yao didn't expect this master to be so amiable and approachable. He restrained the excitement in his heart and cautiously asked, "Professor Ding, thank you for your encouragement, but my foundation is relatively weak. There are some places in the book that I don't understand thoroughly enough. For example, in Chapter 7, you said that in close combat magical equipment such as chainswords, you can use a double-fold array structure to transform spiritual energy and mechanical energy. However, I feel that doing so will increase a lot of parts. Not only will it increase the manufacturing cost, but the failure rate will also greatly increase.
"Oh?"
Ding Yin's interest was also piqued. He didn't expect that this young man would look at the problem in such a crafty way. He nodded again and again and said with a smile, "Student Li Yao, you are very good. Most of the young fellows at your age will directly judge the strength of the magical equipment based on its power. They believe that the stronger the magical equipment, the more powerful it is. I didn't expect that you would actually consider the refining cost and the failure rate. Not bad, not bad at all! Come, turn to this section of the book and let me explain. The double-fold array structure can greatly reduce the energy consumption of spiritual energy into mechanical energy. Moreover, as long as the refining method is appropriate, the failure rate won't increase by much. You see, it's like this... "
One old and one young, two heads bumped into each other. They talked back and forth, completely forgetting themselves in their discussion.
At the beginning, the two of them were still tense and slightly reserved.
Gradually, the speed of their conversation began to increase. The two of them had incomparably solemn expressions, and their tone became more and more intense. From time to time, they would draw one after another on the hologram. There was also a series of flamboyant sketches, such as "Master Lone Star Formula", "Reverend Rock's Theorem", and "Star Magnetic Rotation Force Hypothesis". One after another, terms that were like heavenly books to ordinary people were popping out of their mouths like beans exploding. The passengers next to them were all stunned as they listened, as if they were looking at two lunatics.
Li Yao was like a flood that couldn't be stopped. He threw out a series of questions like a cannon, and from time to time, he praised in his heart, "A master is a master. The problems that I couldn't figure out even after pondering for ten days or half a month were all pointed out by him in just a few words. Furthermore, looking back, he didn't use any concepts that were beyond the scope of my knowledge. It's really admirable."
Little did he know that at this moment, Ding Yin's forehead was also dripping with cold sweat.
Because he found that this young man was really too strange!
In the series of questions raised by Li Yao, nine out of ten of them were very basic. Ding Yin could easily analyze them.
However, after the nine ordinary questions, there was often a very tricky and mysterious question. At first glance, it sounded ordinary, but after a little careful consideration, one would discover that it was full of traps.
Ding Yin was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He had no choice but to concentrate and use all of his computing power to come up with the answer. Often, he would feel guilty, not knowing whether his answer was comprehensive or not.
Just like when two people were fighting, Li Yao, after a round of showy but impractical moves, fiercely thrust out one or two "trump cards" that caught Ding Yin off guard. It was extremely difficult to bear.
"Has this brat ever studied the theory of refining in depth? If you say that he has studied it in depth, he is at most in his early twenties. Most of the questions he raised are also very simple. It is impossible for him to be an expert. If you say that he is a novice, how can he raise such strange questions? They are simply like a fiendish blade that comes and goes without a trace. I am stumped by his questions! "
Ding Yin was extremely astonished.
After carefully recalling, Ding Yin discovered that when it came to classical refining theory from forty thousand years ago, Li Yao would be able to come up with one or two questions that would make him sweat profusely.
And when it came to modern refining theory, Li Yao would turn into an ignorant hothead.
Ding Yin was secretly puzzled: "Which sect did this little monster come from? How can he have such a deep understanding of classical refining theory, and even clearly understand several of the most obscure hypotheses? Such a good piece of material. Sending it to the Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department is really a waste! "
No, the questions raised by this kid were getting more and more obscure. Ding Yin had only vaguely heard of several classical theories, and he simply didn't understand their exact definitions.
Ding Yin secretly complained. Without batting an eyelid, he led the topic to modern refining theory.
Li Yao, on the other hand, was in the mood to talk. He talked impulsively, and he talked with true fire. Time and time again, he brought the topic back to classical refining theory.
In the end, Ding Yin couldn't stand it anymore. He turned his head and said in surprise, "Hey. The train is about to depart! "
"It won't. There's still more than half an hour left. You don't have to worry, Professor Ding. Where were we? Right, I remember that 40000 years ago, the Nether Spring Sect, a devil sect, refined a kind of 'Nine Yin Mother and Child Sword'. Its secret technique of tenebrum energy entanglement is somewhat similar to the fourth model mentioned in Professor Ding's book. Why don't we talk about the Nine Yin Mother and Child Sword! "Li Yao said in high spirits.
"I'm going to the toilet first!" Ding Yin suddenly stood up with a straight face.
"I'm going too!" Li Yao followed behind him. He chattered endlessly, "Speaking of which, the refining of the Nine Yin Mother and Child Sword is incomparably cruel. It's like this …"
"I'm going to the toilet."
"Oh …"
Professor Ding sat in the toilet for half an hour before reluctantly coming out. As soon as he came out of the toilet, Li Yao pounced on him like a loyal puppy. Ding Yin simply didn't give him a chance to speak. He pointed to the front and said, "It's time to check our tickets. Let's go!"
"So soon?" Li Yao scratched his head and said, as if he hadn't had enough.
"Young man, don't be so impetuous. I'll leave you my spiritual crane messenger number. We'll have plenty of opportunities to talk and discuss in the future!"
Ding Yin said as if relieved of a burden. He grabbed his luggage and hurriedly squeezed into the crowd.
"Professor Ding, which carriage are you going to take? How about I get someone to change the ticket so we can continue our discussion on the carriage? "Li Yao still wasn't willing to let him go. He threw the Dark Star Rock behind him and shouted loudly.
Ding Yin broke out in a cold sweat. He stammered, "There's no need. The military's magical equipment repairman is my old classmate. We haven't seen each other for many years. In a while, we'll have to catch up on old times. Let's talk again next time, Student Li Yao."
"Next time, it won't be so easy to meet a master like you on the slow green train. If it weren't for the fact that the train route is so tight, you wouldn't have given up the luxury train and run over here to sit on this shabby green train!" Li Yao mumbled.
These words made Ding Yin stop. He turned his head and said with a somewhat strange expression, "Student Li Yao, you're wrong. I'm the same as many cultivators. Even if there's a more luxurious express train to sit on, or even a more convenient and safe means of transportation, we still won't sit on it. In the Wasteland, a true cultivator will only choose the means of transportation that has the most people. "
"Why?" Li Yao was baffled. He didn't understand how his casual words could provoke such a big reaction from Ding Yin.
"To protect you!"
"Protect us?" This answer was out of Li Yao's expectations.
"Of course, Student Li Yao, it's not that we cultivators can't take more advanced means of transportation, but —"
Ding Yin faintly smiled. His mediocre face surged with a strong sense of pride and pride, "However, if all cultivators take more advanced means of transportation, and there are only ordinary people on the train, who will protect you once the beast tide attacks?"
"… So that's how it is." Li Yao looked pensive.
Ding Yin nodded and solemnly said, "Although the train is equipped with armored battle carriages and a large number of Union Army troops are stationed, once the beast tide attacks, mixed with powerful demon beasts, ordinary people absolutely won't be able to resist. Therefore, in the Demon Beast Wasteland, cultivators will try their best to travel with ordinary people. In case of an accident, they can protect ordinary people in time — this is the duty of us cultivators! "
"A cultivator's vocation?" This was a phrase that Li Yao rarely heard.
When Ding Yin said the word "duty", his whole body glowed. It was as if there was an inexplicable power that exploded in the depths of his soul, making him sublimate into a … completely different existence!
"Cultivators are the sabers of human civilization. Protecting every human being from the harm of demons and ghosts — this is the most noble mission of cultivators, and also our 'duty'!"
After Ding Yin finished speaking, he faintly smiled. His back that was as straight as a saber once again bent down, and he turned back into a mediocre, bald middle-aged man. He blended into the crowd, mixed in with a group of workers and students, and slowly passed through the ticket inspection.
Li Yao stood in the same place for a long time.
He didn't completely understand Ding Yin's meaning, but he could feel the "power" contained within his words.
This was a power that was completely different from "spiritual energy", "fist strength", and "sword energy".
It couldn't be seen, it couldn't be touched, it was illusory, and it couldn't even break an egg.
However, it caused the blood in Li Yao's chest to burn with a "whoosh"!
"I really want to quickly become a cultivator!" Li Yao muttered to himself. He tightened his luggage and also blended into the crowd to pass through the ticket inspection.
