Chapter 11: Meditation
Jasmine didn't stay around.
In less than an hour, she was back in the library and continued to study her homework.
But the differences in thinking and behavior between the two have emerged.
After staying in the library until the evening, the two went to the cafeteria for dinner together, then dispersed and went back to the dormitory.
Link returned to the dormitory, rested for a while, ran the "Occlumency" technique, entered the temple of thinking, sorted out the day's gains, and then got up and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Changing into pajamas, it was still early, Link went into the study again, and read through the four books he hadn't read during the day before going to sleep in the bedroom.
The next day, Link woke up early in the morning.
After washing, Link took his books, pens, notebooks, and portable brains, had breakfast in the cafeteria, and went to the teaching building where today's class was located.
During this period, according to the agreement made before the separation last night, Link sent a message to Jasmine through his portable brain, calling her to act together.
But Jasmine didn't reply, and Link didn't care, so he found the classroom and sat down in the middle of the second row, but he used the book and his portable brain to give Jasmine a seat.
Jasmine arrived late, arriving at the classroom only ten minutes before the start of classes.
……
Two weeks flew by.
Link's life was extremely monotonous but fulfilling.
He went back and forth between the dormitory, the canteen, the teaching building and the library every day, and in addition, he neither visited the campus of the college, nor participated in the entertainment activities organized by the new blood who gradually became familiar with it, nor did he deliberately make contacts.
Not......
The "forum" feature was also discovered by Jasmine and told Link.
Jasmine's life is much richer.
She has a good balance between study and entertainment, and in her spare time, she will go to the library with Link to read books, participate in recreational activities, and make friends.
Jasmine was born into an aristocratic family, and since she was a child, she has a great talent for communication.
Soon, a small circle formed around Jasmine and a few other new bloods who also had a background in the nobility of the Storm Sea Islands.
Link privately persuaded Jasmine to focus more on studying, and seeing that Jasmine didn't care, and could ensure basic study time every day, he didn't say anything more.
Each has its own way of life, and each is responsible for its own choices.
But, but ah......
The Junior College of the Ryvossoth School of Biology and Medicine has a campus divided into two, with new blood from the islands of the Stormy Sea on the South Campus and local apprentices on the west coast of the main continent on the North Campus.
There was little, almost no communication between the two sides.
The deep meaning behind this, combined with the agreement that must be signed by the new blood, makes my heart furry when I think about it.
In order not to become a cow or horse, Link chose to abandon entertainment and study hard.
……
Hard work pays off.
While most of the new bloods couldn't even do the first level of meditation, "Stop the Distractions", Link was ready for the first formal meditation.
There are three levels of meditation.
The first level is to restrain distracting thoughts, empty your brain, and have no distractions.
Link was able to do it immediately after using the "Occlumency" study card, let alone after he had practiced "Occlumency" to the highest level.
The second level is to capture the spiritual power, the spiritual power is formless and substantial, scattered and scattered, and it is very difficult to control the spiritual power and condense it into a thread.
When Link was at the stage where he could disguise his memories at will, Link was able to control his mental power freely.
The third level is to open up the sea of knowledge and build runes.
The so-called knowledge of the sea is the name that Link himself translated. The wizards called it the ocean of spiritual power, and Link felt that it was too long and too awkward, so he translated it as the sea of knowledge.
Where the temple of thinking is located, it is the sea of knowledge, which is located three inches between the two eyebrows, which seems to be a place where the real is like the virtual.
Building runes is what really stands in the way of Link.
Through the study of Runes, Link learned that runes are mainly divided into three categories, one is the will rune, the second is the elemental rune, and the third is the rule rune.
The structure of each rune, whether it is a will rune, an elemental rune, or a rule rune, is very complex and three-dimensional.
The essence of meditation is to use the silk threads condensed by spiritual power to construct the will runes and elemental runes in the sea of consciousness, and connect the constructed runes into specific shapes to form a cycle.
Depending on the meditation method, the will runes and elemental runes that need to be constructed are also different, and the shapes and cycles are also different.
According to the wizarding qualifications of the new blood, the academy issued targeted meditation methods.
After taking the course "Overview of Mental Power and Meditation", Link went to the library to pick up the "Meditation Method of Mizuki Symbiosis" that was given to him.
After reading and chewing repeatedly to make sure that he had fully mastered the first level of meditation, the meditation method that was applicable to the initial stages of mundane to third-class wizard apprentices, Link prepared for his first formal meditation.
Dormitory, study.
Link sat on the ground, posing in a posture with his heart facing the sky, calming down, and running the "Occlumency" with all his might.
In the sea of knowledge, the temple of thinking is hidden, and the original state of the sea of knowledge is restored.
There is no frame of reference, I don't know up and down, left and right, in a trance.
Tranquility and silence seem to be the eternal themes of Zhihai.
For a long time, a little fire appeared.
The formless and subsubstantial spiritual power was condensed into silk under the "cautery" of the same formless and qualitative "fire of divine thought", and then the five strands of silk were wound into a strand.
The head of the line swims, and according to a specific trajectory, a complex three-dimensional structure is constructed in the vast sea of knowledge.
This three-dimensional structure is a will rune, which is the core of the first layer of the "Water and Wood Symbiotic Meditation Method", and its main role is to derive spiritual power and increase the amount of spiritual power.
The derivative runes had just been constructed, and they seemed very illusory, and they were not imprinted in the sea of knowledge.
Link controls the thread of mental power, repeating the building process over and over again.
Derived runes gradually turn from virtual to real.
I don't know how long it took for the derivative runes to finally take root and imprint in the sea of knowledge.
As long as Link himself does not destroy it, or is hit by a strong blow from an external spiritual force, the derivative runes will exist forever, and they will be true.
In this process, the highest level of "Occlumency" played a great role and gave Link a very strong help.
It can be said that Link can successfully construct a will rune in his first meditation, and the "Brain Occlumency" is a great achievement!
Link worked hard and made persistent efforts, constructing a Water Elemental Aggregation Rune and a Wood Elemental Aggregation Rune one after another.
After that, the three runes are connected to form an equilateral triangle with the derived rune as the top corner, the water elemental aggregation rune as the left bottom corner, and the wood elemental aggregation rune as the right bottom corner.
The first layer of "Water and Wood Meditation Method" has been completed!
From then on, Link was a true apprentice wizard.
Not......
A first-class wizard apprentice who has not mastered witchcraft.
