Wizard: Starting with Dealing with Magical Plants

Chapter 35 The Threshold for Becoming a Formal Wizard

"Mental attribute, racial level reached 10 points!"

Looking at the information on the panel, Luo Lin couldn't help but sigh.

Having reached this level, he had a very clear feeling of the limits of a third-class apprentice.

My mana also increased accordingly, reaching 100 points.

Over the years, his knowledge and spells have made great progress, especially meditation techniques and other knowledge related to his foundation, most of which have reached the level of mastery.

Luo Lin could clearly feel the invisible barrier that was preventing him from leaping to a higher level of life.

It lies across the edge of the sea of ​​the mind, solid and weighty.

Once it is broken, the mental power will undergo a qualitative change, moving from a liquid state to a higher form, and officially stepping into the realm of a first-ring wizard!

However, Rolin did not immediately attempt to attack.

He knew that the transition from apprentice to full-fledged wizard was a leap in the essence of life, and could not be achieved simply by accumulating power.

Both Eric the Wizard and Stone the Wizard have mentioned that this requires a lot of resources, meditation techniques, and potions, as well as a clear understanding of one's own path, which is known as magical enlightenment.

A forced assault has an extremely high failure rate and may even damage one's spiritual essence.

Luo Lin slowly calmed his surging spiritual power, allowing it to return to its previous tranquility.

His gaze fell on the delicate little nest beside the pillow, covered with a soft cloth.

Today, Baha is almost the size of a crow, with glossy black feathers all over its body. Only the gray markings at the base of its wings and the tips of its tail feathers are more distinct, like carefully applied dark patterns.

All three pairs of its eyes were open.

The first pair of obsidian-like eyes are responsible for regular vision and observing energy flow.

The second pair of dark silver eyes possesses the ability to see through simple illusions.

The third pair, whose eyes had only recently opened with difficulty, possessed a deep, dark gold color. When they gazed at him, Rolin could vaguely sense through the connection an extremely keen premonition of "danger" and "malice."

At this moment, Baha was curled up in his nest, all three pairs of eyes closed, as if he were asleep.

But through the mental link, Rolin could sense the growing power within it, imbued with darkness, insight, and warning attributes, slowly flowing.

The existence of Baha is one of the most important gains for Rowling in the past two years, and the unique energy it provides has also played a significant role in helping Rowling refine his mental power.

"Not enough!"

Luo Lin silently recited in his heart.

The mental strength has reached its limit of 10 points, like a water glass that is already full and can no longer hold any more.

Rowling could clearly "see" the tough barrier at the edge of his mental sea; it was not a physical entity, but it made him feel more powerless than any material barrier.

He knew that brute force would be futile and might even backfire.

Regarding how to achieve a breakthrough, Luo Lin has gathered information from various channels over the years, gradually piecing together a clear picture.

This is not a process that can be accomplished overnight; rather, it requires meeting several stringent conditions.

First, there is the crystallization of spiritual energy.

This requires a rare resource called crystallization medium as a catalyst.

In a more detailed sermon, the wizard Eric mentioned:

"The crystallization medium is like a seed, which can guide the overflowing spiritual energy from disordered flow to orderly condensation."

Common mediums include Concentration Crystals, petals of Soul Flame Flowers, and pure Yuanqu essence.

The higher the quality, the smoother the crystallization process, and the better the quality of the future spiritual crystallization.

Wizard Stone added from an energy perspective:

"The crystallization process is essentially a transformation of energy form."

The role of the medium is to provide a stable crystal nucleus and lower the energy barrier required for the transformation.

Different media have different attributes; choosing a media that aligns with your own affinity for it will increase your success rate.

Rowling checked the exchange list and mission records inside the outpost and found that without exception, all of these materials were marked as "extremely scarce" or "only for exchange by formal wizards." They occasionally appeared on the black market, but were often accompanied by exorbitant contribution points or equivalent precious resources.

Secondly, there is the crucial advanced meditation method.

This is the core method for guiding spiritual energy to crystallize and constructing a stable cycle of wizarding energy.

In this respect, the information barrier is the highest.

Ordinary apprentices have almost no access to its specific content; they only know that it is the foundation that major organizations never reveal to outsiders.

Rowling had tentatively inquired with several senior apprentices who had been at the outpost longer and were also stuck at a bottleneck.

One of them, named Old Jack, told him the truth with a hint of bitterness after drinking:

"Kid, don't expect to get it so easily."

"The standard path for the academy is to sign that two-hundred-year-old indenture."

Alternatively, you could pursue the path of exploring ruins or earning battlefield merits, both of which involve risking your life, with a high chance of survival, and even then, you might not be able to obtain what suits you best.

Another potential avenue is through personal gifts from a mentor.

Although Eric the Wizard and Stone the Wizard admired Rowling, they never explicitly stated that they would provide it free of charge.

This involves organizational rules and their own resources, and it is clear that Rowling needs to demonstrate greater value or pay a corresponding price.

Finally, there is the understanding of innate spells.

In his most recent message, Wizard Stone unusually spoke a few more words:

"At the moment of advancement, the spiritual sea resonates with the rules, which is the best time to solidify a unique spell model."

This requires you to prepare complete, high-quality spell model building materials in advance.

This includes the primordial ink that carries the spiritual imprint, the spatial dust that stabilizes the model structure, and the elemental heart or similar core that corresponds to the magical attributes.

The more suited a spell is to you, the higher its rank and the greater the difficulty, but once successful, it will stay with you for life, as at your fingertips.

This means that Rolin not only needs to find meditation techniques and crystallization mediums, but also needs to plan ahead the direction of his future core spells and collect those materials that sound like they are by no means easy to obtain.

After sorting through all the information, Luo Lin felt a much heavier burden on his shoulders.

Advancing to the rank of a formal wizard is far from being the end goal that can be achieved through mere cultivation; rather, it is a comprehensive test of resources, opportunities, planning, and even luck.

He glanced at the words "[Basic Meditation Method (Perfect)]" on the panel.

Will this unique level bring about some changes?

He attempted to operate the perfect level of meditation more deeply. Under extreme conditions, his mental energy seemed to have gained subtle activity, and his perception and manipulation of energy particles became much more efficient.

"Perhaps... a perfect foundation will allow me to master advanced meditation techniques more quickly after obtaining them, or make them more stable during the crystallization process?"

That's the only way he could speculate.

Bahamut stirred in its den, its dark golden eyes opening slightly, as if sensing the gravity in Rolin's heart, and conveying a sense of reassurance.

As Bach grew, it became increasingly sensitive to emotions and danger.

Luo Lin stepped forward and gently patted it.

Owning Bahamut is one of his major advantages.

Whether it's finding resources or dealing with danger, Bahamut's unique abilities can provide tremendous help.

The path ahead is now clear.

First, use all available means to gather detailed information and acquisition channels about crystallization media and talent spell materials.

Second, actively seek ways to acquire advanced meditation techniques, whether through merit, exploration, or other means.

Third, continue to deepen your knowledge and skills, especially prepare for potential fixed innate spells, and determine your direction.

Fourth, by using the Perfect Meditation Method and Bach's feedback, further solidify your foundation and ensure that you can seize opportunities in the best possible condition when they arise.

He no longer spends all his time on pointless assaults on barriers.

Instead, they began to organize what they had learned more systematically, drawing on different spellcasting concepts from ancient scrolls and trying to integrate them into the existing system.

At the same time, he paid more attention to the high-risk, high-reward missions issued by the outposts and began to consciously inquire about the black market and clandestine gatherings through connections such as Mason.

The long road to becoming a full-fledged wizard has finally begun.

Like a patient hunter, Rowling meticulously prepared all the bait and hunting tools for the moment when he would transcend the mundane.

He knew that the biggest challenge concerning his future was about to arrive.
