Chapter 272: Absorbing the Heart of the Ancient Tree
The waves rise and fall, the boat rocks, and the unchanging blue water is in sight. Time seems to slow down and then speed up in this repetition.
Unknowingly, night has fallen quietly.
About ten nautical miles away from the Pahama Island, on a black reef that was only a dozen meters long and wide, Colin looked at the direction of the Pahama Island and waited quietly.
In order to ensure his own safety, he did not take the risk to follow Anna and the others to Pahama Island, and he did not even choose to get close... Ten nautical miles was the closest distance in his heart.
Furthermore, he couldn't give Anna and the two any help. There was no need to be too close... The only thing he could do was to wait silently.
In this sea area ruled by gods, as a wizard, you are like cheese falling into a pile of mice. Once you catch a whiff of it, you will be attacked by a group of people.
"Sir, which island are you from?"
At this time, Ant, the young man beside him, suddenly took the initiative to ask, as if to ease the silent atmosphere.
"...Siya Continent." Colin paused briefly and replied briefly.
The memory of Blackstone Island...unknowingly has become very distant.
"Siya continent...that's really far away. I should call you..."
"Leonard. Okay, keep quiet, I'm going to start meditating."
Colin said briefly and solemnly, ended the topic, sat cross-legged on the ground, and prepared to start meditating.
Ant hesitated for a moment, adjusted his collar, and sat down with Colin.
Colin didn't pay much attention to Ant* and focused on himself.
Opening the teleportation array requires the strength of a first-level intermediate wizard, and he has not forgotten... time is running out!
The ancient gold paper slowly appeared in front of him, and he looked at the wizard level column.
[First level junior wizard (90/100)].
‘90?’
Colin was startled as soon as the black characters caught his eye. If he remembered correctly, the last time he checked, the wizard level progress was only 88.
...During this period, I didn’t meditate even once, and my level progress actually increased by two points?!
This situation was extremely unusual, and Colin frowned secretly.
Gold paper has always been like the most accurate detection instrument, marking all its data clearly at a glance.
There is no mistake. There will be no mistake... Colin's eyes flickered.
In this case, there must be some reason that led to the sudden increase in my level progress!
'Could it be...the heart of the ancient tree?'
When his thoughts came here, Colin almost instantly thought of the biggest and only difference between his current practice and his past wizard training.
It's just... there's no way to verify it yet.
Since the Heart of the Ancient Tree released heat flow last time and for the first time, it has yet to release a second heat flow.
Colin hesitated and chose to meditate first.
Speaking of which, after improving my qualifications in the Heart of the Ancient Tree, I haven't meditated seriously and completely... I don't know how efficient meditation is now.
‘Perhaps...it will be beyond your imagination?
Previously, with the help of the super brain, every improvement in meditation was terrifying.
But now there is not only the transformation of the Heart of the Ancient Tree, but also the blessing of the Crown of Spiritual Enlightenment...’’…..
Colin couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.
The sea tide surged and the night was dark, with only the faint stars twinkling.
Four and a half hours passed in the blink of an eye.
A meditation has been completed completely.
Colin opened his eyes and slowly pulled out the gold paper.
The next second, he was slightly startled, a little unbelievable.
'It actually improved by four points!'
The golden particles slowly dispersed, and Colin stood up slowly, looking at the vast dark sea in front of him, unable to conceal his excitement!
'Perhaps it is the quantitative change that caused the qualitative change? Under the transformation of the Heart of the Ancient Tree, my qualifications have already entered the first-class talent effect?'
'The heart of the ancient tree...'
Thinking of this, Colin's heart moved and he suddenly opened the gold paper again.
"Sir Leonard, are you also worried about Sister Anna and the others?"
Ant saw him stand up suddenly and asked subconsciously... Generally speaking, even a first-level wizard meditates for more than six hours at a time.
So I thought that Colin, like myself, had not fully entered meditation.
In the past four hours, because he was upset and hadn't meditated for a long time, he hadn't actually meditated, he just closed his eyes and rested his mind.
"I will only worry if worrying is useful."
Colin responded casually and put away the gold paper. With a vague idea in his mind, he opened the storage ring and took out a crystal.
This is a knowledge crystal that Lilian handed to him before entering the treasure house arch. The content inside is about the knowledge of first-order wizards to strengthen the foundation of their bodies.
'The transformation of the Heart of the Ancient Tree is mainly a physical transformation, and it also has an effect on the physical talent and life... So thinking about it conversely, maybe the knowledge of body strengthening can also affect the progress of the transformation of the Heart of the Ancient Tree?'
While reading the knowledge about strengthening the foundation of the body, Colin secretly speculated.
Now there is no doubt that the most important thing before him is to upgrade the wizard level!
The daily meditation time has reached the upper limit*, and it is time to try to see if we can find any way to release the heat in the heart of the ancient tree in advance.
If it can, and the transformation of the Heart of the Ancient Tree can indeed help increase the amount of magic power, thereby improving the progress of the wizard level.
Then he might only need to meditate once more to successfully advance to the first-level intermediate wizard!
After all, for him with first-class qualifications, there is no bottleneck between the first-level junior wizard and the first-level intermediate wizard. The only thing that needs to be completed is the accumulation of magic power.
Thinking of this, Colin suddenly thought of——
'Perhaps the reason why the Heart of the Ancient Tree can improve the progress of the wizard level is because it has transformed the magic sea and increased the amount of magic it can hold?'
Shaking his head, Colin dismissed all distracting thoughts and prepared to try to strengthen the foundation of the body for the first time.
Before starting, he glanced at Ant beside him.
Young Ant didn't know why at this moment, but he sat back cross-legged, apparently trying to continue meditating.
Withdrawing his gaze, Colin recalled the knowledge of strengthening the foundation of the body.
The so-called strengthening of the body's foundation focuses on the word strengthening... Strictly speaking, any method that can strengthen the body falls into the category of strengthening the body's foundation.
Of course, there are many things to pay attention to——
For example, the lower limit of enhancement, key points...etc.
As for what to use to strengthen it and how to strengthen it, it depends on each person's specific situation.
Among the knowledge crystals Lilian gave him, half described the overall ideas for strengthening the foundation of the body, as well as precautions.
In the second half, three major categories and six or seven specific methods for strengthening the body's foundation are given.
'Transformation of plant life energy...transformation of the bloodline of three demonized plants...excavation of the bloodline of high elves...'
Colin frowned and put the crystal back into the storage ring.
With the super brain, the knowledge that strengthens the foundation of the body, he only needs to read it once and he will never forget it without reading it again.
It's just that... even after reading the crystal and understanding it roughly, he had to stop -
Among the crystals that Lilian gave to strengthen the foundation of the body... there was no suitable strengthening method for him.
In other words, there is no way to strengthen the foundation of the body that can be achieved now...
