Matter, energy, information...... These are the three primitives that make up the grand system of the world.

Xia Ran's current occult knowledge spans the systems of several worlds, although most of them are biased towards the magic side, this is the first time he has come into contact with the immortal path system, but it does not affect his discovery of the framework, the system, and even the essence of all things.

Matter is energy, energy is also a substance, and information is information, which is neither energy nor matter, but there is also a close relationship with matter and energy.

Matter is a carrier of energy, but it is not all; Energy is an external manifestation of material incentives, and it is also a substance in itself; Information, on the other hand, can be used to describe matter and energy, to characterize it.

So—

Nothing exists without matter, everything is dead without energy, everything is meaningless without information.

If I had to put it bluntly, then the integration and utilization of matter and energy is the foundation and starting point of all cultivation systems. To describe and characterize this process through information is to formulate a manifestation of power and create a mysterious base system.

Let it become a mysterious route that can be replicated and disseminated, which can be recorded, mastered, and used......

Therefore, after seeing the essence of the power system from this unique perspective, if you can fundamentally grasp the information and integrate the mass energy, then it is natural that you can transform your own energy into any system at will.

This is the breakthrough that Xia Ran found, as for why he embarked on this path......

That's because for more than a month, he has been in an endless cycle of failure, failure, failure, and failure, and failure...... I haven't even been able to find anything useful out of failure.

Although he failed every time, he would slowly and unhurriedly examine himself, reflect carefully, find the reasons for his failure, summarize his experience, and avoid the previous wrong ideas to carry out the next experiment from a new perspective.

It is not easy to persevere, the pain brought is only secondary, many times if he does not get the desired result feedback or practice the wrong line, and the expected development is different, he will doubt this time of thinking, and even suspect that he may be thinking too much.

Then when he came to a dead end, he found that he was indeed thinking too much.

The repeated blows made Xia Ran a little annoyed, but he didn't lose patience with it, but went to talk to the third master of the fox every once in a while - it's just that the practice was not successful, but the theoretical knowledge Xia Ran is still very rich, and the fox was so shaken by him that he couldn't find the north.

Moreover, Xia Ran just had too high a goal, wanting to control the essence of the mystery instead of cultivating the mystery system, which led to the inability to open up the road for a while. If he really wanted to cultivate the Immortal Dao simply, he wouldn't be able to get started at all, and even if he was proficient, it wouldn't take too long.

The third master of the fox just ate this set, he thought that Xia Ran was a real master, even if he did not cultivate into an immortal body, that body of cultivation is estimated to be far beyond the immortal, so he was very happy to be treated as a Taoist friend by the other party.

It's not just people who want to ask for recognition, even demons are the same, the third master of the fox just wants to get the attention and respect of others.

Seizing this opportunity, Xia Ran carefully probed the power that this fox possessed, as well as the unique Neidan-

The path for demon beasts to become immortals is to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, refine them into a unique inner pill protective body, and thus cultivate into immortals...... More or less it is also a scattered immortal, and it should play a reference role.

And half a month ago, Xia Shusheng also came back, and they got to know each other, which can be regarded as making friends, Xia Ran naturally didn't just think about the fox fur of the third master of the fox, but even took Xia Yuanchen's together and analyzed the two of them.

Slowly, he really found a breakthrough that he had ignored.

It should be said that that thing has been dangling in front of him all the time, so he never cares, just like air, although it is important, it is always overlooked...... And that thing is indeed "qi".

- The three talents of the Tao are one qi ear, the sky runs with qi, the earth occurs with qi, yin and yang are miserable with qi, wind and thunder are turbulent with qi, the human body breathes with qi, and the Tao is sensed with qi......

Or rather, it should be said that it is "Qi".

This is the beginning of everything, all things are born from one Qi, and the scattered form of "Dao" is Qi, which can be said to be the origin of all metaphysical or metaphysical phenomena.

Starting from this concept, Xia Ran, as a magician, thought of the fifth element, ether, as a necessary medium to merge with the four elements to form a form, which seems to be formless and useless, but it is indispensable.

It has no attributes in itself, it is not a thing, but something that will become something, because it can turn into any one of the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, constituting all the elements of the world.

And it just so happens that Xia Ran's own magic attribute, according to the god of the witch Medea, is the empty attribute that represents the fifth element, theoretically has no attribute of its own, and can be combined with the four elements to form any form of attribute-

Although it may not seem unusual, does a lost person really have the magical properties of a particular world? And Medea at that time was meaningful, and if she pointed to it, it always made Xia Ran a little strange, wondering if she had seen something, such as the golden oil physique of the lost?

What systems are suitable and can be compatible and adaptable, including evolution?

But this is not important, no matter how poisonous Medea's vision is, she definitely can't predict the problems that Xia Ran will face today. Just thinking back on this incident and connecting all the clues together, Xia Ran once again found a rather whimsical route.

I don't want to be limited by metaphysical "tools" and want to break all frameworks, so why not start with the most essential matter, energy, and information?

If you can leverage the foundation of everything from this aspect, then it should be very simple to reshape your own system.

And after finding the right idea, he also found that he had forgotten one thing, the absolute terror field is actually not suitable for the main combat aspect, and its main thing is a strong auxiliary ability.

The realm unfolds, and all the laws and phenomena within it are formulated by him.

Not only can he observe the most basic changes in the flow of matter, energy, and information, but he can indeed control them, so he can also modify his own body and experiment on himself.

And then—

He just blew himself up...... This was the first time he had died because of his practice.

Well, it's not the last time, it's not the only time, it's just the first time, just like the opening and opening of any road, this road is also destined to be full of hardships and blood.

Originally, logically speaking, neither a sage nor a god body, then any path is not something that can be walked by one person, but is built on the basis of countless people who have overcome obstacles and passed on the torch...... But there are always people who are exceptions.

Xia Ran is like this, he is not alone...... The literal kind.

……

……

In the middle of the town, inside the inn.

The magician sat at the edge of the table, tilting his head with one hand on his cheek, looking out the window at the view of the town, the gray clouds of the gloomy sky, the sound of the drizzling rain, and the occasional thunder in the sky......

“…… In the past, I heard what Yan Shi said, I thought it was just exaggerated nonsense, but I didn't expect to see it today, but it really deserved its name, no, it should be said that it is better to meet than to be famous......"

In front of him, there sat a gentle-looking boy, and behind him stood five or six fierce-looking dog-legged men, who on the surface looked like a real gentleman, but in fact it was.

Brother Gongzi seems to be polite and well-spoken, but that kind of fanatical and greedy mood, and when he looks at the maid head next to Xia Ran from time to time, there is that evil and excitement hidden in his eyes-

But it is completely impossible to hide a monster whose psychic power can be compared to Professor X.

No matter how well he hides it, it doesn't make any sense.

It's just that this son-in-law, who is said to be the only son of the local county order, may think that he is hiding himself quite well, but he doesn't know that he is completely exposed, and he doesn't know that if the person opposite is black-hearted, it will be much more terrifying than him.

"Alright, that's all for that......"

Xia Ran knocked lightly on the table and said lightly, interrupting the other party's polite words.

"Since you're here to see you, it's not just to tell you what you think, but let's be more direct, what do you want from me?"

Brother Gongzi was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he didn't seem to be annoyed, but just arched his hand, and his smile was like a spring breeze:

"Brother Tai is really fast-talking, then I'll say it directly...... I've always been interested in Yanshi since I was a child, but I couldn't ask for it, and I didn't ...... until now."

"You want to buy a puppet from me?" The magician interrupted his explanation, somewhat dismissive.

This person is like this, not sincere at all, if it weren't for the charm and delicacy of his maid master, what legendary Yanshi skills would the other party be interested in? The legendary Yanshi gives people the impression that they are made of wood lumps!

"That's right, that's it, please don't push it back, I'd rather pay a thousand dollars to show ......your sincerity," Gongzi said loudly.

"Well, I agree, hand over your sincerity." Xia Ran nodded directly, expressing his approval of the other party's sincerity, as long as the other party offered his daughter.

"Uh......" The county commander was stunned for a moment, isn't this plot not quite right?!

In his expectation, either the other party disdained to give him face, and he just got angry naturally, and found a reason to put the other party in the yamen prison, so as to achieve the goal of stealing by force; Either the other party is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and obediently says that he doesn't need any remuneration, and he can still get everything with peace of mind.

I didn't think about it, so the other party agreed to it...... What are you kidding, this person really has the audacity to accept his own daughter? Why do you want to give him a thousand gold?!

The gentleman's face was red and white for a while, and it took a while for a while to squeeze out an ugly smile: "Your Excellency promised so happily, isn't it playing tricks on me?" ”

"No, the money is in place, it's easy to say anything."

Xia Ran had an expression on his face that you had made a lot of money.

“……”

“……”

"Humph! Yanshi's statement is simply nonsense, you bold thief is on the verge of death, and you even want to deceive this son?! It's a pity you deceived the wrong person! ”

The gentleman suddenly slapped the table and said angrily-

"You don't know that this girl behind you has always been the personal maid of Ben Gongzi before, and she was kidnapped by thieves only a few days ago, and Ben Gongzi came to the door today for this matter, but I hate you thief who still wants to get away with that set of rhetoric, come to ......"

At the same time, the doglegs behind him rolled up their sleeves, and their eyes were full of fierceness, knowing that their master had turned his face.

The maid chief did not say a word behind her master, looking at the farce in front of her, there was no mockery in her eyes, but only calm.

There must always be some brain-dead monkeys in this world who will feel like they are monkeys on monkeys because of some of their privileges in the monkey group, anyway, such a role must be played, why can't it be the brain-dead in front of you?
