Chapter 50: Chapter 49 “Spiritual Sea” and “Black Tower Meditation Technique” (Seeking Chase Reading)
Translator: 549690339
“So tight!”
Milton Cheney gently rubbed his forehead.
The memory of the meditation technique was so vast that it made his head feel tight.
But the benefits that this simulation brought to him were huge. The memory transfer of the meditation technique alone helped him understand countless things instantaneously.
Now, he had truly started to understand the meditation technique.
Usually, all he needed to do was cultivate the meditation technique every day, and sooner or later, he would reach the realm of a wizard apprentice.
But actually, it wasn’t that simple.
The next moment, with a move of his thoughts, the scene before his eyes drastically changed.
What he saw was no longer the familiar room, but a gray expanse.
Although it was gray all around, the place where Milton was seemed more like the center of a pool of water.
This was his spiritual sea!
Perhaps it couldn’t be called a spiritual sea since it was too small.
The spiritual sea that Milton could sense was only as big as a bathtub.
“It’s small, but it probably is larger than the spiritual sea just opened by an ordinary person.”
Milton thought in his heart.
The next moment, the scene in front of him returned to its former state.
“My current spiritual sea, might just be able to barely imprint two zero-ring magic skills!”
Milton muttered to himself.
He wasn’t disappointed, on the contrary, he was somewhat surprised.
Because this wasn’t a sign of a small spiritual sea, on the contrary, compared to the spiritual sea of an ordinary person who just started practising meditation, Milton’s spiritual sea was already quite large.
Even the spiritual sea developed by a person with a Level 1 qualification might not be as large as Milton’s spiritual sea now.
This underscored the benefits of having high innate spiritual power.
Of course, it wouldn’t be fair to compare Milton with a person of Level 1 talent, because Level 1 talent isn’t about high innate spiritual power but about the improvement of the spiritual sea after mastering the meditation technique.
Although Milton’s body had strong innate spiritual power, the rate of improvement of his spiritual sea was extremely slow.
But those with a Level 1 qualification, despite their weak innate spiritual power, improve their spiritual sea extremely quickly while practising the meditation technique.
If Milton and a person with a Level 1 wizard talent began practising meditation at the same time, he might be overtaken in less than a year.
But even so, Milton was satisfied, as he had a helper that others didn’t.
Milton sat cross-legged on the bed and began to operate the meditation technique.
The next moment, he seemed to enter a state of emptiness.
This state was somewhat similar to sleeping, but not quite the same as he could feel everything around him.
If he had to describe it, it would be somewhat like sleeping with his eyes open?
After operating the meditation technique, Milton could clearly feel something around him being pulled into his spiritual sea.
This was a sensation he could clearly feel, and it was an extremely wonderful feeling.
But, that speed.
“This is way too slow, wouldn’t it take an eternity to become a wizard apprentice by meditating at this pace…”
After a while, a few light spots of unknown color merged into Milton’s spiritual sea.
And the increase of his spiritual sea was negligible.
Milton felt a bit disheartened.
He had considered the fact that the speed of practicing meditation for Level 5 wizard talent would be slow, but he hadn’t realized it would be this slow.
Relying solely on cultivating the meditation technique, Milton felt he probably couldn’t become a Level 1 wizard apprentice in his lifetime.
It was like filling a swimming pool with grains of sand, being given only a hundred grains a day, and having to fill it one grain at a time.
To fill the pool, either the pool would need to dry up itself, or it would never get filled up by waiting for death.
And that’s considering the pool was already half filled due to Milton’s higher innate spiritual strength.
The metaphor might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it certainly demonstrated how challenging it was for Milton Cheney to become a Wizard Apprentice.
No wonder Earl Arthur did not send him to the Wizard Continent after discovering his wizarding aptitude as a child. Clearly, Earl Arthur understood that with such wizarding talent, the chances of becoming a Wizard Apprentice were slim.
Fortunately, Milton Cheney had naturally strong spiritual power. Though his path was arduous, there was still hope. Moreover, Milton Cheney had an external plugin.
The minimum standard for a Level 1 Wizard Apprentice is to be able to engrave at least three Zero Ring Magic spells into the Spiritual Sea.
The only consolation for Milton Cheney now was that he was only one short of this standard.
Considering this, the situation wasn’t too bad, was it?
The next moment, Milton Cheney summoned the Attribute Panel, and the familiar transparent blue light screen appeared in front of him again.
[Name: Milton Cheney]
[Spirit: 1.7]
[Knight Realm: Grand Knight]
[Wizard Realm: None]
[Breathing Technique: Golden Lion Breathing Technique (Perfect)] [Meditation Technique: Black Tower Meditation Technique (Beginner 12/400)]
[Knight Skills: Lionheart Slash (Expert 1324/1600), Armor Splitting Slash
(Expert 543/1600), Star Fire Arrow (Expert 612/1600), Double Blade
Continuous Slash (Expert 124/1600), Charged Strike (Expert 88/1600), Burst (Proficient 720/800)…] [Magic: None]
[Simulation Count: 1]
The panel had some changes, and Milton Cheney naturally noticed them.
The spiritual power had increased by 0.1 due to the beginners’ meditation technique.
Unless a realm was being transcended, the increase in spiritual power was usually minimal. Therefore, an increase of 0.1 was already commendable.
The realm column had been separated into the Knight Realm and Wizard Realm. Currently, the Wizard Realm still showed none.
Beneath the Breathing Technique section, a new Meditation Technique section had appeared, and listed above was the beginner meditation technique Milton Cheney had just learned – [Black Tower Meditation Technique].
Since the panel was manifested according to Milton Cheney’s understanding, these changes were naturally normal.
However, at the moment, Milton Cheney’s attention was not drawn to these subtle changes. His focus was still on the final column – Simulation Count.
“Should I continue with the simulation?
Looking at the Simulation Count column, Milton Cheney felt a bit torn.
He had already learned the meditation technique, so he did not need to be too aggressive during the simulation.
He could focus on cultivating the meditation technique for as long as possible.
The longer he lived, the more time he would have to practice the meditation technique.
The more time he spent practicing the meditation technique, the greater his chances of becoming a Wizard Apprentice.
Anyway, he should become a Level 1 Wizard Apprentice first.
In the memories of meditation, after becoming a Level 1 Wizard Apprentice, one’s spiritual power would increase significantly. Besides, one would be able to emanate spiritual power, which had various magical uses.
For instance, the Bronze Key that the Black Robe Seekers’ Club was trying to investigate, even the true wizards in the simulation reacted with surprise when they saw this key.
If Milton Cheney becomes a Wizard Apprentice, he might also unravel the secrets of this Bronze Key.
However, what Milton Cheney worried about was that one simulation might not be enough for him to become a Wizard Apprentice.
“Should I save up a few more?”
“Forget it, let’s just do it, there’s no point in hesitating. It’s one simulation per month, early or late, it doesn’t make a difference!” Milton Cheney made up his mind.
The next moment, a string of black text appeared.
[Do you want to start Life Simulation?]
“Yes!”
