In Sumeru, pretend to be a scholar

In reality, the little thing on the wrist naturally refers to the "Seventy-Two Xuanming".

Wang Yan hesitated for a moment, then thought about it carefully. From the moment he first encountered extraordinary power in the "Demon Sealing Scroll" after transmigrating, to the creation of the "Seventy-Two Xuanming", it only took him about five months in total.

"In just a few months, you've accomplished a learning pace that most people couldn't achieve in a lifetime, and you've even managed to make it look like a triumph!"

Nasida stared at Wang Yan: "Do you know how terrible this is? It means that your acceptance of knowledge is almost lossless."

"Whether it's mechanical arts, extraordinary runes, or the Liyue Celestial Register, as long as someone teaches you, you can learn it... Do you think that's reasonable?"

Naxida practically had the words "You have a problem" written all over Wang Yan's face.

Wang Yan also felt that his learning ability seemed a bit too strong.

When he first transmigrated, he only felt that he could understand the words in "The Rainforest Atlas". Later, when he read "Characters, Strokes, Stripes: The Essence of Language", he found that his memory seemed to be much better than before he transmigrated. He was able to read and memorize such a boring book.

As time went on, Wang Yan discovered that his learning ability was increasing rapidly.

After becoming Erosan's apprentice, he was able to learn whatever Erosan taught him. This learning ability was clearly something he couldn't have possessed before he transmigrated.

Otherwise, he would have easily gotten into his dream university.

"So... Lord Grass God thinks that my extraordinary ability is my learning ability? What does that have to do with the 'Purification of the Three Karmas Mantra' that you taught me?" Wang Yan asked.

Naxida counted on her fingers: "First, the 'Mantra of Purifying the Three Karmas' is extremely obscure and difficult to understand. If you can understand it quickly, it means that your learning ability is indeed an extraordinary talent. Second, the 'Mantra of Purifying the Three Karmas' removes the defilements of body, speech, and mind, and can help you strengthen your inner heart and avoid being tainted by distracting thoughts."

Wang Yan understood somewhat.

This is both a test and to prevent Wang Yan from going astray in the future.

After all, there are quite a few people in the Academy with terrifying learning abilities, but not all of them are on the path of "love and peace".

A scholar who came from a certain ecclesiastical academy, went astray, and was expelled from the academy, caused a great commotion in Nordkal a few days ago, which even the God of Grass had to take notice of.

Perhaps fearing that Wang Yan would follow in the footsteps of that 'predecessor,' Naxi Da prepared this "Purification of the Three Karmas Mantra" for Wang Yan.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Yan nodded: "Then I thank the Grass God."

He had never intended to pursue a doctorate and become a mad scientist. The "Purification of the Three Karmas Mantra" given to him by Nasita could purify his mind and body and tap into his inner potential, which was a very necessary method for him.

“I’m glad you like it.” Nasita smiled. “Well then, this exchange is over. I have to leave now. This dream is yours.”

After saying that, Naxida's figure slowly disappeared.

Even after she disappeared, the dream did not shatter. Wang Yan could sense that the dream was under his control.

This was certainly not something Nasita handed over to him, but rather... the dream of the power of the goddess of flowers.

The flowers that bloomed around him before were a manifestation of this power.

"In dreams...are you omnipotent?"

Wang Yan thought for a moment, then reached out and summoned the "Seventy-Two Xuanming" to his side. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be exactly the same as the real thing.

"Dreams evolving into physical objects... So, can I conduct experiments in my dreams?"

"For example, how about creating a [Jade Carriage]?"

Wang Yan acted on his idea, controlling the dream to manifest various materials, however... he quickly got stuck.

Because he had never seen some of the materials, he naturally could not reproduce them.

"Then... what about learning in dreams?"

Wang Yan tried to experiment with different rune combinations in the dream, but it still didn't work.

The evolution of dreams is based on Wang Yan's understanding. If Wang Yan is not clear, then the superposition of different runes in dreams will not have any effect, because it is fake and not real.

To conduct a realistic experiment within a dream, then… Wang Yan would need to transplant and apply the real laws of reality…

But if he could do that, then there would be no need to conduct experiments in dreams.

"So... what's the use of this dream? Like Nasita's, is it just a... dream paradise?"

Wang Yan frowned slightly, and finally shook his head: "Forget it, let's leave it for now. I wonder if I'll be able to have such a clear dream next time."

He had received the blessing of the Flower Goddess for a long time, but this was the first time he had such a lucid dream.

If it weren't for Naxida's guidance, Wang Yan might not have been able to uncover the power over dreams within the Flower Goddess's blessing for a long time.

Since things have come to this, let's get out of bed.

Chapter 144 "Seventy-Two Celestial Blades" and [Mehrak] (3k)

I awoke from a lucid dream to find the sky outside already bright.

After Wang Yan got up and washed up, he was about to leave when he heard Kavi's loud and boisterous voice coming from outside the door.

"Wang Yan, are you awake? I'm here to help you move."

Wang Yan opened the door and saw Kavi standing there, holding a steaming paper bag in one hand: "I got up early today, so I went to Baoshang Street on the way and bought breakfast."

It's not on the way.

Wang Yan shook her head, stepped aside, and let Kavi enter first: "You're up really early."

He was completely drunk last night, but this morning, Kavi was full of energy again.

This is probably what makes the holder of the Eye of God so powerful.

Or... well, you could say he's a civil engineer after all; not only can he drink a lot, but he also sobers up quickly.

"Haha, that's right, I get up early every day."

Kavi entered the house, opened the paper bag, and the rich aroma of wheat and meat immediately wafted out. The buns had thin skins and generous fillings, with a hint of oily juice glistening through them.

A breakfast shop in Liyue that can open a store in the shopping street must be of a certain standard.

Kavi sat down at the table, grabbed a bun and took a big bite, mumbling, "Eat quickly, so we can move."

“Okay, we’ll pack up and move to the new house after we finish eating.” Wang Yan nodded without saying thank you or anything.

“Haha, speaking of which, I just glanced at the place you rented on my way here. The location is really good, close to both me and Elhesen. It will be much more convenient to visit each other in the future,” Kavi said while eating.

At yesterday's drinking party, Wang Yan told them the location of his newly rented apartment, so Kavi also knew the place.

"I chose that place because it's close to you guys," Wang Yan said with a smile.

The two ate and chatted while enjoying the hot steamed buns.

As if remembering something, Kavi said, "Oh right, didn't I say yesterday that I was going to give you the instrument? After we finish moving things here, come with me to my college, and I'll give you the instrument. While we're at it, we can also apply for those materials on yesterday's form."

"The process isn't difficult. You fill out a form, I'll submit it for you, and it should be approved after going through the process."

Honestly, friends who keep your things in mind and think about you all the time are truly heartwarming.

"Thanks, Kavi," Wang Yanzhen said, "I've troubled you so much."

“What’s the big deal!” Kavi waved his hand, finished the bun in his hand in a few bites, stood up and looked around the small house. “You don’t seem to have much stuff here. It should be quick to tidy up.”

Just then, footsteps and the sound of wheels rolling came from outside the door.

"Wang Yan, we're here to help you move."

Kavi was taken aback. Was there someone else besides him?

Wang Yan recognized the voice and got up to walk to the door: "Ian, Perry, Hawke, what brings you here?"

The people who came in were the three scholars of the Su Lun school whom Wang Yan had first met.

“Haha, I heard from Faliha yesterday that you moved houses. I thought you might be moving today, and since we were free, we came to help,” Ian said with a smile.

Perry and Hawke, who were behind him pushing a cart, nodded in agreement: "You treated us to a meal last time, so this time we'll help you move."

Before returning to Liyue, Wang Yan treated the three of them and Faliha to a meal, maintaining their relationship.

“Hey, Scholar Kavi, you’re here too.” Ian noticed Kavi in ​​the house.

As a renowned architect of Mount Sumeru, Kavi, hailed as the light of the Wondrous Theory School, was naturally known to Ian and the other two.

“Um… Hello, I’m here to help with the move too.” Kavi didn’t recognize the three scholars of the Plain Theory school in front of him.

Wang Yan quickly introduced the three to Kavi, saying that they were the first scholars from the Faculty he met, had experienced the Hilichurl attack together, and were his good friends.

Kavi wasn't one to mince words, and he quickly became acquainted with the three of them.

The group went inside and began helping Wang Yan pack his things.

Actually, there isn't much of it.

Wang Yan had never purchased any furniture; the house was mostly filled with books, as well as materials and tools for experimenting with mechanisms and runes.

The group chatted as they worked.

“I’ve heard that things haven’t been going well for you Sulun School lately,” Kavi said.

Ian and the other two immediately chimed in, "That's right. We finally managed to compile the data on the earth veins we had observed, wrote it into a paper, and submitted it. But after only a few days, it was returned, saying that the earth veins in that area had changed and the paper was outdated."

"Then we went out again, spent a month in the field collecting data, and came back to rewrite the paper..."

"Uh... it turns out that a classmate had already published a paper similar to ours, and the duplication rate was too high, so it was rejected again."

The three of them talked, one after the other.

"However, our senior is not the worst. There is a senior whose project has been going on for several years. This year, he suddenly discovered that a lot of the ley line data did not match up. Now he has gone crazy."

Kavi nodded in agreement: "Recently, I have indeed heard many scholars say that there are some anomalies in the ley lines. The Order of the Church has even issued a mission to the Adventurers' Association to request their assistance in the investigation."

"Sigh... Hopefully we can figure out the situation soon, otherwise our thesis will probably be delayed again." Ian and the other two sighed.

Wang Yan chuckled and said, "Then why don't we investigate why the earth veins are behaving abnormally this time?"

“You think highly of us.” Ian rolled his eyes. “These kinds of topics involving abnormal changes in the earth’s veins are probably beyond the understanding of many [Hapandal], and we’re just [Tasata].

It is a novice dharata, not a formal dharata.

The five chatted and quickly packed their things onto the cart that Ian and the other two had brought.

Finally, the group looked at the last piece of [cloud-patterned golden paulownia wood] and were somewhat perplexed.

“This thing is a bit heavy,” Ian said.

As a type of wood that grows in a special rock element environment, 【Cloud Pattern Golden Paulownia】is hard and has an extremely high density, meaning it is very heavy.

Kavi looked at him and said, "Should I find a few more people to help?"

Wang Yan shook his head: "No need, leave it to me."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the "Seventy-Two Cyclones" flew out. Wind element runes flashed by, and a gust of wind rose from the ground, lifting the [Cloud Pattern Golden Paulownia Wood].

Actually, even if Kave and Ian hadn't come today, he was also planning to use the "Seventy-Two Xuanming" to move.

"Hmm? What is this?" Kavi's eyes lit up as he looked at the magical artifact in front of him with obvious delight.

As a master architect and a master of mechanical art, Kavi's passion for mechanical art is beyond doubt.

He could tell at a glance that the "Seventy-Two Cyclones" had a strong mechanical art style.

"I combined mechanical arts, elemental runes, and the Celestial rune techniques of Liyue to create this mechanical artifact," Wang Yan explained briefly.

Ian and his two companions watched from the sidelines, somewhat amazed.

In fact, given enough time, scholars of the Su Lun school could even create instruments to activate the earth's veins, and they were not particularly envious of supernatural powers.

However, Wang Yan's progress was too fast.

Just a few months ago, we were all surrounded by Hilichurls and trembling with fear.

How did you end up playing with magical artifacts?

Kavi scrutinized the "Seventy-Two Cyclones" and suddenly asked, "Does it have intelligence?"

Wang Yan looked at him in surprise: "How did you figure that out?"

“I think so,” Kavi said. “This organization of yours reminds me a lot of Mehrabian.”

Mehrak, Kavi's briefcase, is an autonomous mechanism that Kavi modified based on ancient technology. It can not only draw blueprints but also assist Kavi in ​​battle.

In addition, before Wang Yan's time travel, before the second month, many people thought that the core of Meherak was the water conservancy official of Juer City during the Red King Civilization period, because the two names were exactly the same.

But in reality, the name Mehrak for the suitcase was chosen by Kavi himself, and was not an inherent name of the core.

However, Mehra's core is definitely related to the Red King, as it was once one of the Red King's favorites.

Like Feligis, she is most likely a spirit fused with an autonomous mechanism, or one of the holy intelligences created by the Red King.
