Lin Suo shamelessly lay there, opening his mouth to receive skewers brought straight to his lips—one bite of meat followed by a bite of garlic, with fruit juice available when thirsty and high-grade Elf fruit to eat when sated.
Two Magic Hands, each with a clear division of labor.
One to roast, the other to feed.
Such a life, not even gods would trade for!
In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and after enjoying several days of comfort, everything returned to normal.
Lin Suo adjusted his status.
Then he fell back into a stable and delightful cultivation life, as if nothing had happened.
A hundred meters underground.
Night Garden~
Having moved from the sunroom deep underground, Lin Suo used Night Light Stones in place of sunlight for illumination.
The primary function of Night Light Stones is to absorb Dark Element and release it in the form of light.
They are used solely for illumination.
They can be considered an alternative to Koster's fishbone street lamps and are artificial creations, not of great value, but the principles within hold significant analytic worth.
Utilizing the vast Elemental Power of nature has always been an indispensable research direction in the Wizard World.
On this foundation, small items like Night Light Stones and Sunlight Stones, and more so the aggregations of technical accomplishments like Element Pools, Giant Cores, and goblin energy, are truly the culmination.
Just like how Magic Power couldn't initially be absorbed by humans.
Elemental Power has always been a precondition for synthesizing Magic Power!
If one were to absorb elements using the official Wizard method for absorbing Magic Power, it would result in severe elemental contamination.
For example: excessively absorbing Fire Element can cause a Wizard's body to spontaneously combust until it reduces to ashes.
Absorbing too much Earth Element would result in a petrification of the body.
Excessive absorption of Wind Element would lead to incurable fissures in the body, bleeding to death – truly horrifying.
Any Element, whether absorbed individually or in combination, would lead to serious elemental pollution.
Magic Power, however, embodies all elemental properties in one.
It's quite a special type of energy, truly versatile!
A Wizard's Elemental Witchcraft can transform Magic Power into a force of a particular Element through a Witchcraft Model, then use it to cast spells.
That is the significance of Witchcraft Models.
Contract Sect, Summoning Witchcraft, Spiritual Witchcraft, and others do not fall into this category but can equally be executed using Magic Power.
The way of the Wizard becomes more profound the more one studies it.
Some people, the more they learn, the more they feel their ignorance, for the ocean of knowledge is boundless.
Others, the more they learn, the more they feel superior, believing others to be inconsequential and that all things in the world are within their grasp.
Eager pursuit of knowledge and arrogance in one's abilities are the two most typical stances in the Wizard World, almost representative of all Wizards.
Like the Dove Sect and the Eagle Sect.
Lin Suo could be reluctantly considered part of the Mouse Sect, a bit self-important, or in other words, part of the opposing Wild Party.
The next phase in developing the Night Garden is of utmost importance.
After breaking through to an intermediate Wizard Apprentice, the daily increase from the Meditation Method fell back down to around 0.5 points.
Don't be fooled by the decreased number; in fact, each meditation session offered an improvement far beyond that of a Basic Apprentice.
It's just that the total progress is only 100 points.
It doesn't seem like much of a change, but the quality far exceeds what came before.
To advance earnestly through meditation, it would take 200 days to break through to an Advanced Wizard Apprentice, more than half a year!
Don't think it's slow, it's actually very fast.
Consider the head of the Deer Horn Society.
An Ancient Elf who has lived almost five hundred years is nearing his time to be buried in the earth, and yet he is still only an Advanced Wizard Apprentice.
Not even considered a Peak Apprentice.
```
This point is like being hampered by bloodline and talent; it's more than a hundred times harder to improve than for humans.
Take an example.
The qualification for humans to become wizards is 1 point of innate spiritual power intensity, which, after the research on artificial magic plants—Enlightenment Flowers—
is brought down to 0.8 point.
Elves, burdened by the bloodline of the Longevity Race, are naturally able to absorb Magic Power, but their spiritual power is suppressed by Magic Power, requiring 5 points of innate spirit power qualification to become wizards!
Even with the use of Enlightenment Flowers, they still need 4.8, which, if applied to human children, is almost impossible to achieve.
But after wizards eradicated the gods, the power of many Longevity Species' bloodlines was coveted and suppressed, and their natural ability to perform Bloodline Witchcraft was plundered and stripped away.
Passed down from generation to generation, it's become increasingly diluted.
It is said that Ancient Elves could live for a thousand years, which was a time when the Wizard World wasn't dominated by wizards alone.
Now, in order not to be exterminated and to change the frail state of their racial strength,
Many Longevity Races adhere to the philosophy of joining if they can't beat them.
By combining bloodline advantages, they study the Wizard Path.
They are gradually reviving and have regained power!
This is also the beginning of the phenomenon of mixed-race habitation on the Padolon Continent.
Therefore, at the Apprentice stage, Longevity Species wizards are usually the strongest, having innate advantages.
As they reach the First Rank Wizard stage, human wizards mostly seek out powerful bloodline power to transform themselves, which is the origin of the current eighteen factions of the Wizard World.
You can't just watch potential rivals grow strong!
In fact, many of these eighteen schools have split off from the Life Transformation Stream.
Such as Dragon Vein Wizards, wielding the Power of Giant Dragons.
Elf Wizards, wielding the Power of Life.
Demon Spirit Wizards, wielding the Power of Dark and Soul.
Elemental schools then further split into Flame Wizards, Ocean Wizards, Heavenly Phenomenon Wizards, Thunder Wizards, etc...
Lin Suo's understanding of the history of the Wizard World grew even stronger.
He felt he was about to unlock the skill of a Historian.
This ability, coupled with the Language Master's ability, allows one to peer into the hidden past of the river of time through archaeological activities.
He's still pretty interested.
After all, coming to a Wizard World and not understanding its history, not pursuing the epics of heroes, and only knowing about fighting—it would make life lose much of its fun, wouldn't it?!
"Black Octopus Reagent can be synthesized using the formula of Enlightenment Reagent and is very helpful for Intermediate Apprentices in meditation."
"The breakthrough time should be halved, about three months, give or take..."
"Take it slow."
Only if you are content can you live each day happily.
Night Garden has expanded to fifty square meters, occupying one-quarter of the underground space, situated in a corner.
Hundreds to thousands of Artificial Magic Stones have been placed here, with a high concentration of Magic Power, suitable for the growth of magic plants.
For now, the crops are just Enlightenment Flowers and Black Octopus Flowers.
Collection is also a pleasure!
Reflecting, Lin Suo took several days to properly arrange the garden; he couldn't collect too many carcasses of the Three-Eyed Octopus at once, only waiting for the sewers' black market to supply every half month.
As for their large eyeballs, his finances are not yet abundant.
Unable to buy in large quantities.
He'll save up and talk about it later.
He still owes Valia a hefty sum...
Right, the special soil he collected from the Monster Salt Swamp has been pushed to the limit in synthesis a hundred times, turning into another kind of material.
And it's a very precious material.
Sludge, powdered and crystallized!
Finally giving birth to a material called [Super Magic Dust].
