Chapter 7: The First Meditation
Leaving the apprentice tribe and returning to his cabin, Carlin silently opened the book "Easy Meditation Tips".
The book is a bit old, and the first three pages are an introduction, introducing the author's life and other messy things.
Carlin skipped it with a casual glance, then opened the body section:
"What is meditation?"
"Meditation is an important way for our mages to comprehend magical energy, and it is also an important way to connect with the magic web."
"The most important thing for the early meditators is to be in a very quiet environment, which helps them to concentrate without any interruptions, so that they can meditate more deeply......"
"Nonsense!" A voice tinged with anger rang out of Carlin's head.
"Oh?" Carlin suddenly smiled: "You finally don't pretend to be dumb?" ”
The omniscient eye, who has always been chirping, has been silent since he left the apprentice tribe, which makes Carlin a little unaccustomed!
Despite the extremely stupid decisions the host had made earlier, the All-Seeing Eye was rather unhappy...... But the All-Seeing Eye believes that it is still his responsibility to prevent the host from going astray in the process of magical research! The All-Seeing Eye said haughtily.
"You mean...... Is there a problem with the writing of this book? Carlin asked in a low voice.
"Of course! Didn't you read the introduction just now, the author of this broken book is just a garbage four-ring mage, this kind of half-hanging, I'm afraid he himself only knows a little about meditation, and he dares to write a book to teach people? Perhaps out of anger, the omniscient Eye's voice was somewhat disdainful.
"Four-Ring Mage...... Is it also rubbish......" Carlin shook his head helplessly, for him at present, the fourth ring is still unattainable.
He went on to ask, "So what should be the right way to meditate?" ”
"It is appropriate not to be disturbed in any way in the meditative state, because the mage in the meditative state is a rather fragile existence, and being awakened from this state rashly will cause some damage to the brain!" The All-Seeing Eye replied, "But being in absolute silence is a false statement!" ”
"The first host of the All-Seeing Eye, Master Casas, explained this in his early research...... In an absolutely quiet environment, it is easy to cause boredom in the brain during meditation, which is difficult to avoid even with strong perseverance, which will reduce the efficiency of the meditation process! ”
"So the most reasonable environment for meditation is one with a moderate amount of outside sounds, such as a forest where the sound of birds is heard from time to time, or a riverside where the sound of running water is constantly heard...... These sounds can subtly reduce the boredom of the meditator's brain, thereby increasing the efficiency of a meditation......"
"Makes sense!" Carlin nodded, when he was memorizing in school in his previous life, he usually didn't stay in the quiet study room, but chose to go to a place like the back mountain with a slight voice, which was easier to memorize.
I'm afraid it's the same thing!
Carlin stood up, ready to go out to find a suitable place to meditate, and he picked up the book "Easy Meditation Tips".
"You still have it?" The Omniscient Eye said with some dissatisfaction, "Isn't it enough to have me to guide you?" ”
"Good, good!" Carlin tossed the parchment pamphlet behind him and walked out of the cabin.
……
Soon, Carlin found a small grove on the west side of Sunny Breeze Village.
It is a small forest in the middle of nowhere, and the fallen leaves on the ground can be seen to be very old, and it seems that few elves have come. The sound of birds chirping could be faintly heard in the sky, quite quiet but not absolutely quiet.
"Nice place to meditate!" The All-Seeing Eye commented.
Carlin found an oak tree and sat down on the ground beside it.
"What do I need to do now?" Carlin asked.
"Listen to me! Pick up now and relax your body while concentrating your mind! The All-Seeing Eye reminded, "Can you see a blue ball of light in your mind?" ”
Carlin nodded silently, and as the All-Seeing Eye had said, he spotted a blue ball of light...... It is very small, almost the size of a soybean.
"This is the origin of your magic! Since you've been exposed to magic for so short, it's still weak! The All-Seeing Eye continued, "From now on, try to control the energy in that blue ball of light with your mental power, concentrating it in your hands......"
Carlin tried to control the blue ball of light as the All-Seeing Eye had said, and he let his mental power enter the middle stage.
But things don't seem to be going as smoothly as expected.
"Ah......h......h Carlin covered his head.
"What stupidity!" The All-Seeing Eye commented unceremoniously, "I'm telling you to use your mental power to control the ball of light, not to clash with the ball of light!" ”
Carlin didn't respond, but paused for a moment before refocusing his energy.
A few minutes later, there was another scream, and Carlin covered his head again.
After repeating this about three or four times, Karin was finally able to approach it without clashing with the orb of light.
"Wait...... I got under control...... All-knowing eyes, I've got the source of magic under control! After another attempt, Carlin said with some excitement in his heart.
"The perception is a little better than I imagined! Now with your psychic power control, concentrate the power in the ball of light on your right hand! ”
Carlin did as the All-Seeing Eye had said, only to feel his right hand start to get hot......
"Don't control this energy anymore, release it!" The All-Seeing Eye said eagerly.
A yellow flame suddenly appeared on Karin's right hand.
"It's ......," Karlin muttered.
"0 Ring Plastic Energy Spell 'Ignition Technique'!" The All-Seeing Eye explains, "One of the simplest of all magic, and one of the essential spells for a home trip! ”
Is this the release of magic, Karin looked at the flame in his hand with some shock.
The yellow flame was small, about the size of a thumb, and as it burned, Carlin felt himself begin to get tired...... Just twenty seconds later, the flame was extinguished!
"Your mana source is still very weak, and all your mana has been exhausted in such a short period of time!" The All-Seeing Eye commented, "All you need to do now is refill the source of mana!" ”
"I feel sleepy!" Carlin said a little tiredly, "It seems like you can fall asleep at any time!" ”
"You can't fall asleep, although the source of magic will recover on its own after falling asleep, the purpose of meditation will be lost!" The Omniscient Eye hurriedly said, "Now you need to concentrate your mind to comprehend the existence of the magic net in the sky!" ”
Carlin tries to concentrate again!
The intense emptiness in his mind suddenly brought him into contact with a new world, and he felt the incomparably magnificent light in the sky.
The blue Milky Way formed a large net in the sky, and the nodes where it gathered were the Silver Moon City not far away.
"This is the Magic Web! You can only feel it when the mage's mana is all depleted and your mental power is the most vulnerable! The omniscient eye explained again: "The magic net constructs the magic laws of a world, and the magic power of the whole world also comes from it, and the process of meditation is the passage between the mage and the magic web, and through the process of actively absorbing the magic web, you will grow your magic source!" ”
"Okay!" Carlin instantly perked up and began to try to build a passage between him and the web again.
……
Bean-sized drops of sweat were left on Carlin's face; At the same time, he also felt that the energy in the sky and the magic net began to pour into the source of magic in his mind little by little......
When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was completely dark...... If you are not careful, three or four hours will pass.
"That's the detailed process of a meditation!" The voice of the omniscient eye sounded in my ears again: "According to the detection of the omniscient eye, the host's magic origin has expanded by 4.6% during the last meditation!" ”
