After thinking for a moment, Benjamin made a decision.
"Teacher, I have decided." Benjamin's voice was firm and clear, "I choose Demon Plane."
Clark instructor nodded silently, seemingly not surprised by this choice.
"A good choice. I will contact the person in charge of Eloria Plane for you immediately to handle the relevant procedures. Detailed plane coordinates and information will be sent to you later. Remember, no matter what plane you choose, you need to explore and control it yourself. This is the true path of a wizard."
"Yes, mentor." Benjamin's eyes flashed with excitement.
Then he thought about the information brought by Amy and Victor just now, "Instructor, does the person in charge you are talking about refer to Dean in the future of Eloria Plane?"
"It seems that you already know the news." Clark nodded calmly, "Yes, the other party is a new Level 7 Wizard. He has just retired from the battlefield and has a mandatory rotation period of one hundred years. He can basically be sure to be the future general manager of Eloria Plane."
Benjamin thought of another question, "Then... what will we do after the rest period is over? Go to Star Ring Federation?"
Benjamin remembers it very clearly. The reason why Noren Workshop started this trial is said to be because Star Ring Federation had some big moves there.
But after the trial, everyone seemed to have forgotten about it. Instead, the trial seemed to have become the recruitment of new Academy faculty and staff?
"Um... you don't have to worry for now. With the characteristics of those old guys like Federation, they probably started to release the news hundreds of years in advance. You shouldn't be needed in a short time."
"The reason why Workshop plans to open a new Noren Academy in Eloria Plane is probably to "use" your waste."
Benjamin looked helpless. "We should not fall into the ranks of waste."
"Just understand the spiritual meaning."
Clark looked at Benjamin in the communication screen and couldn't help but smile, "And even if there is really a need, you are not qualified to participate with your current strength. Instead of thinking about these things, it is better to find ways to improve your strength."
Benjamin scratched his hair and knew that what Clark said was true.
With Star Ring Federation's size, if there is really any need, a first-level new wizard like him is really not qualified to participate.
Clark didn't care at all, Benjamin had also experienced this stage.
High-spirited young people always feel that they are unparalleled in the world and are eager to achieve something.
Compared with some newcomers who have begun to be proud after the trial, Benjamin, who has been studying quietly, is completely "other people's children".
"In addition, judging from the decision made by Workshop, even if the rest period is over, you don't have to rush to the front line."
"Huh?" Benjamin was stunned, "The contract..."
"The contract here at Workshop is actually not that strict." Clark said nonchalantly, "You can also offset part of the military service by participating in Plane War in Eloria Plane."
"According to the regulations of Workshop, every wizard who participates in a war has a rest period of at least half a year and up to five years, so after this half year is over, you can choose another rest period of half a year to five years."
"Can it still be like this?" Benjamin was a little dumbfounded.
Clark raised the corner of his mouth. "Workshop is training you to cultivate stronger wizards, and the so-called military service is just to put some pressure on you and make you move forward faster. Just make sure that you can apply what you have learned and are not idiots who study hard. And..."
"And?"
"And a little wizard of your level is not even qualified to be exploited."
Benjamin is speechless. Although these words are very hurtful, they seem to be true.
After all, except for those reckless men like Combat Department, serious wizards are very good at manufacturing various products, and High-Rank Wizard is a top-notch humanoid production line.
In addition, Wizard Civilization is in a period of rapid expansion, and various resources are continuously input from the outside.
In terms of production, thousands of low-level wizards combined cannot produce as much as one High-Rank Wizard.
After Clark hung up the communication, Benjamin thought about it and temporarily put all these messy things behind him.
Not to mention the new Academy, who has no shadow yet, even if he wanted to come down to the plane he applied for, he would not be able to do it in a short time.
"First... continue researching."
A bronze mirror with a faint rainbow light floated quietly in front of Benjamin.
It has a simple shape, but the mirror surface has a strange sense of chaos, as if it is covered with a layer of mist, and the reflected image always has a hazy meaning.
This is Benjamin's destiny Dharma Treasure, Five-Skandha Rainbow Mirror.
As Benjamin has been refined for so many years, the various decorations and patterns behind Five-Skandha Rainbow Mirror have become more and more complex, which means that this Dharma Treasure is getting stronger and stronger.
"Eloria Plane is a good place. The new "Five Lights" are almost collected. The first "Refining" is not far away."
Dharma Treasure in Great Dao Library can be roughly divided into two types. One type has a fixed shape. This type of Dharma Treasure is relatively simple to refine, and the material requirements are not that troublesome (for Cultivation World).
The disadvantage is that it is difficult to improve after being refined. Occasionally, under special circumstances, the improvement is also extremely slow.
The second type is Dharma Treasure, similar to Five-Skandha Rainbow Mirror, which essentially has no solid form. The disadvantage is that it is more troublesome to obtain materials and difficult to refine.
The advantage is that as long as you continue to replenish materials and sacrifices, theoretically you can improve to an almost unlimited level.
However, with each round of refining this Dharma Treasure, the quantity and quality of materials required will increase to a higher level. It is actually quite difficult to improve it.
Fortunately, for Benjamin, it is just a matter of spending more time.
"However, now we can try another method of sacrifice."
Benjamin's expression became serious.
He stretched out his finger, and a wisp of imperceptible mist was pulled out from his Internal Space, gently brushing against the mirror surface of "Five-Skandha Rainbow Mirror".
Mortal Aura, it is the essence of mixed emotions condensed from the joy, anger, sorrow, joy, love, hatred and resentment of thousands of living beings.
It carries the strongest pyrotechnics in the world and has a full tempering effect on "spirituality".
Benjamin used the method of controlling Qi that he had practiced for a long time, and used extremely exquisite control to slowly infiltrate the purest and gentlest part of it into the mirror surface.
At first, the mirror surface only had a deeper layer of chaos, as if it was covered by invisible mud.
That kind of chaos is not a flaw, but a kind of "ignorance" that comes with Dharma Treasure when it was first formed, and it is the "unresolved" of the mortal world.
And Mortal Aura uses the essence of the world of mortals to "purify" this ignorance, allowing Dharma Treasure to truly understand and reflect the mortal world.
But as Mortal Aura continues to penetrate, that sense of chaos begins to slowly but surely subside.
The mist gradually dissipated, the mirror surface became clearer and clearer, and the reflected light became purer.
This change is extremely slow and requires Benjamin to control it patiently.
He could feel that as Mortal Aura was absorbed by the mirror little by little, the faint spirituality deep in Dharma Treasure was being activated.
It is no longer just a tool, but more like a life with primary "thinking" that begins to understand everything it reflects.
When that ray of Mortal Aura is completely absorbed, the entire "Five-Skandha Rainbow Mirror" takes on a new look.
The mirror surface is as clear as water, clearly reflecting Benjamin's slightly tired but full of surprise face.
Its rainbow light becomes more restrained and profound, as if it can accommodate everything in the world.
The obscure runes on the surface of the mirror have become more vivid, as if they are breathing.
More importantly, Benjamin felt that Dharma Treasure's spirituality had become stronger.
Because Dharma Treasure is deeply connected to himself, Benjamin also feels that his consciousness has become transparent.
"The effect is excellent." Benjamin praised softly and took back Dharma Treasure.
But then, his brows frowned slightly.
In Dharma Treasure's feedback, he clearly felt a slight "fatigue".
This kind of training seems to be a "radical improvement" of Dharma Treasure's spirituality. It should not be done multiple times in a short period of time, otherwise it will damage Dharma Treasure's spirituality and even risk collapse.
"It seems that the principle that things must turn to their extremes also applies to the way of monks." Benjamin thoughtfully put "Five-Skandha Rainbow Mirror" into his body and allowed it to recover slowly.
After taking a short rest, Benjamin did not waste time. He was ready to make a second attempt, which was also a more bold attempt - to directly infiltrate a trace of Mortal Aura into his soul.
He sat cross-legged, with restrained mental strength, guiding Internal Space's huge Mortal Aura.
This time, he only extracted a fainter trace than last time, as small as a hair, and then carefully guided it deep into his soul.
The moment that ray of Mortal Aura touched the soul, Benjamin's spiritual world seemed to have been dropped into a bomb!
It's not pain or shock, but an almost all-encompassing experience!
His consciousness was torn apart in an instant and then reorganized.
He is no longer Benjamin, but one of thousands of mortals.
He saw a poor farmer, working under the scorching sun, his clothes soaked with sweat, just for a mouthful of hot soup for his family.
His heart was filled with the desire for a good harvest and the fear of Calamity. That simple persistence for survival turned into a warm current and poured into Benjamin's heart.
He felt that the young lovers were talking to each other under the moon, and the two hearts were closely connected. The pure love and the sweetness of first love made Benjamin's heart uncontrollably tremble.
He became a soldier on the battlefield, with swords and swords flashing, flesh and blood flying everywhere, and the screams of his companions and the evil laughter of the enemy echoing in his ears.
The despair before death, the nostalgia for his hometown, and the crazy desire to survive that burst out at the last moment made Benjamin breathe quickly and almost suffocate.
He experienced a mother who lost her child and cried bitterly in the cold rainy night. The heart-rending grief and helplessness made Benjamin tears burst out of her eyes uncontrollably.
He transformed into a Royal Capital aristocrat, drinking and drinking at the luxurious banquet. Behind the hypocritical smile was endless calculation and greed. The desire for power, the pursuit of enjoyment, and the unsatisfied emptiness deep in his soul made Benjamin feel extremely depressed.
Scenes of various aspects of life, including joy, anger, sorrow, greed, anger, obsession, love, hatred, and hatred, were like a revolving lantern, playing out in the depths of his soul in an extremely real and personal way.
He is not a bystander, but a witness. He can personally experience every emotion and every feeling they experienced at that time.
It is a collection of the most authentic life experiences of hundreds of thousands or millions of mortals.
The huge flow of information and the torrent of mixed emotions are like a volcanic eruption, impacting the soul of Benjamin.
His mental energy was drained almost instantly, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
His clothes were soaked with sweat, and his face was as pale as a piece of paper.
Benjamin gritted his teeth and held on to the last bit of clarity deep in his soul, so as not to be completely lost in this endless illusion of mortal world.
I don't know how long it took, but when that thread of Mortal Aura was completely integrated into the depths of my soul and turned into an imperceptible red light, Benjamin suddenly broke free from that terrible experience.
He was breathing heavily, and his chest was heaving violently, as if he had just escaped from hell.
He opened his eyes, with a hint of confusion and joy in his eyes.
It took several minutes for his consciousness to fully return to its original state.
Benjamin breathed a long sigh of relief and slumped to the ground, his expression showing unconcealable fatigue.
This fatigue is not due to physical exertion, but to the weakness of the spirit and soul after being squeezed to the extreme.
However, after the fatigue is over, what follows is an indescribable clarity and sublimation.
The speed of thinking seems to be a little faster, and the perception of surrounding elements is also more keen.
It was as if his originally somewhat turbid mind had been washed by Mortal Aura and became crystal clear.
If the "Purple Qi of the East" he absorbs every day improves the qualifications of the soul, then what Mortal Aura improves is the "purity" of mental power!
It seems to peel away and purify the impurities, stagnation, and redundancy in the soul little by little.
This improvement in "purity" allows Benjamin to control its own spiritual power to a whole new level.
Translated into the specific performance of the wizard, Benjamin can clearly feel that his activity requirement threshold for manipulating elements has dropped again.
This means that when he performs witchcraft now, he needs to consume less mental energy and it is easier than before, as if the elements are more obedient to his will.
Even if you encounter some planes with slightly lower element activity, Benjamin will not be greatly affected.
At the same time, the accuracy of his mental manipulation has also been greatly improved, allowing him to perform more microscopic and precise energy control.
This subtle control of energy and spirit directly led to the rapid growth of his Alchemy level.
Many precise Alchemy operations that he could only stay at at the theoretical level before, or required repeated attempts, are now readily available to him, and the success rate has greatly increased.
Unfortunately, like polishing Dharma Treasure, this thing cannot be used multiple times in a short period of time.
Benjamin can feel the faint red light deep in the soul. It is in a saturated state at the moment and needs time to settle and digest.
Once it is forcibly immersed again, it will cause irreversible damage to the soul.
"Mortal World Heart Tempering... It is indeed a cultivation method that even Great Dao Library recommended." Benjamin's eyes were filled with the joy of harvest.
