The group decided not to continue discussing the Soul Crystal any further. After all, at this moment, the wizards, regardless of age, were fundamentally quite straightforward. They had received the Meditation Method from Xu Lie and had been staying in the building made by the Xu Lie Stone Puppet for so many days. They still cared about their reputation; discussing this matter further would only bring them a sense of shame for not giving Xu Lie the respect he deserved.
So, they simply shifted the topic and no longer dwelled on the soul of the Evil Mage, such as Qilunaar. What piqued their interest most was Xu Lie's recent spell, the Brilliant Sun: Xu Liexian.
"Was that magic you just cast a first-tier spell or a seventh-tier one? Did you acquire it from the Gate of Truth?"
As soon as this question was posed, the other wizards turned their attention to him, filled with curiosity. They were all practitioners of Idealism Magic; once they had their tools in hand, they could summon whatever they desired. It was their first time hearing about magic being categorized into tiers.
Under Xu Lie's continuous persuasion, the wizards had become firmly convinced of the existence of the Gate of Truth. They held great interest in anything that came from it.
Xu Lie knew well that this magic was something he acquired when purchasing Legendary Mage from Si. If he was going to deceive them, he might as well go all the way: "Indeed. When we cast spells, the consumption of magical power and the strength of the spells seem to be related only to willpower. However, that's a one-sided view."
The Gate of Truth records that there are two magical systems in the world. One is our current chaotic and idealistic system; the other is what I just used, a tiered system.
Qilunaar, experienced as he was, fell into thought upon hearing this. A nearby wizard disagreed: "How can our magical system be considered chaotic?"
Human nature being what it is, anyone would feel displeased if their most skilled, passionate, and beloved craft was criticized as chaotic—even if that criticism came from a highly respected sage.
Xu Lie smiled gently and gestured for this wizard to calm down: "What I mean by chaotic is not a criticism. It refers to the lack of standards. If we want to unify and create a Logistics Base that Xu Lie envisions in this Burning Fire world, we must have a set of standards."
"Should we continue to produce using classical Idealism Magic as before?"
In a world where some products possess great power while others are weak, Xu Lie, hailing from modern society, finds it hard to accept such disparities in logistics. He is determined to change the mindset of the mages as soon as possible. At the very least, he wants the things they produce to meet his standards.
This statement resonates deeply with the audience.
"You mean this Xu Lie has crossed over into the Burning Fire world? I can believe that; he's already talking about standardization!"
"Huh? I think Reiner, that enchanting Purple-Haired Elder, has a more fantastical magic than Xu Lie. His Firepower Coverage seems more like something from a different world."
"Hahaha, maybe the screenwriter just has a thing for standardization. Don’t overthink it; sometimes you just need to enjoy the show without diving too deep."
Take Qilunaar for instance. Xu Lie's words caught the attention of this red-haired elder.
Qilunaar advocates that as long as one firmly believes in their magic, it will surely yield miracles in return. The more one believes in magic with an idealistic mindset, the greater its power becomes.
Qilunaar's expression brightened considerably, revealing a hint of pride: "Not bad, this is exactly the knowledge I imparted to Beric. I remind him of this from time to time."
