"How do you usually ditate?"
Lucilia couldn’t help but ask.
She had been by Ed’s side for so ti, and since he beca a Toucher, she had hardly sensed any significant increase in the essence of his magic power.
Although it was increasing, it was too slow, almost negligible.
This was completely different from what she knew and saw when she was alive, a discrepancy so vast it puzzled her.
"When I was alive, although I wasn’t a Toucher, I was from a Toucher family, so I witnessed quite a few examples around ."
"Generally speaking, after becoming a Toucher, it takes two to five months to raise one’s magic power to the first spiral normally."
"About a year after the first spiral, one can advance to the second spiral, and after that, it depends on talent."
"So fast?" Ed was taken aback by her words and couldn’t help but ask in surprise.
This speed was far too quick, sowhat beyond his current understanding.
Take Elena, for example. She had been a Toucher for four years, having beco one before she even reached adulthood. Yet she only reached the first spiral a year ago, aning it took her three years to get there.
He had also heard from her that his cheap captain, Andre, is almost at the second spiral.
But Andre has been a first-spiral Toucher for over ten years.
However, according to Lucilia, in her ti, anyone could reach the second spiral within two years.
How could this not leave Ed dumbfounded to the point of wanting to pull his hair out in disbelief?
"So tell , how do you ditate?"
Hearing this question, Ed directly told her the thod he learned from Elena and books: "Control the magic power in your body and slowly let it flow along the magic circuits. During the flow, it draws a trace of external magic power into your body, gradually strengthening itself."
"Hmm... and then?"
"And then?" Ed was a little confused. "And then there’s nothing. As far as I’ve learned, that’s the entire process."
"That’s it?" Lucilia’s expression was sowhat incredulous.
"Yes," Ed replied. But observing Lucilia’s expression, a new ray of hope shone in his heart. He knew that his second cheat was finally going to show her true value. After all, this was a normal cliché in most novels where the protagonist has an old soul to guide him.
"No wonder, no wonder your ditation efficiency is so slow."
Lucilia finally found the reason. She turned around and said happily, "Quick, go to sleep. I’ll teach you in your dreams; that would be more effective."
Saying that, she directly retreated into the mirror of Ed’s necklace.
Hearing this, Ed grew even more expectant, thinking he was about to hit the jackpot. Lucilia was, after all, from an ancient elven family, and the things she knew were by no ans ordinary. Sothing commonplace in her eyes could be a priceless treasure in the current world.
He imdiately collapsed onto the bed, forcing himself to sleep. But because he was too excited, it took him more than half an hour before he was able to drift off.
Ed opened his eyes and saw his room again.
This ti, however, it was pitch black outside.
Lucilia sat on the edge of the bed. "Ed, quickly lend a little magic."
Ed nodded. He walked to her, reached out his hand, and placed it on her head.
A tiny bit of magic flowed from the outside world into the mirror against his chest and was transferred directly into the dream. While he could do this without touching her, he couldn’t resist the chance to tease her.
Of course, Lucilia didn’t care about this childish act from Ed. With the magic, she raised her hands, and points of light appeared in the dream, followed by a thin booklet materializing in her hands.
She handed the booklet to Ed.
"In dreams, I can spend a little magic to copy things I’ve seen and know from my mories," She explained.
Ed excitedly picked it up and opened it in a hurry.
The writing was in the language of the White Crocodile, an inherently cryptic script.
"Luckily, I’ve been learning this language from you, otherwise I wouldn’t understand it now," Ed replied with a smile, then focused all his attention on the information recorded in the booklet.
The booklet was thin and contained little information, indirectly indicating that ditation wasn’t overly complex.
After reading it, Ed had a general understanding of the ancient ditation thod invented by countless generations of the elven race.
First, the so-called ditation was still inextricably linked to spells.
Rapid improvent ca from a special spell called "ditation." (The creator hadn’t even bothered to change the na.)
Anyway, according to the book, it was a Y-shaped spell rune. After morizing and learning it, the magic power within the body condensed and activated its effects during circulation.
The circulation of magic power within the body needed to be stable; rapid circulation would lead to instability, harming oneself or even damaging magic circuits, causing permanent loss of strength.
Therefore, for safety and future considerations, the circulation of magic power was generally kept at a relatively stable speed.
This spell served a stabilizing function, allowing one to circulate magic power within the body more quickly for rapid strength improvent.
"So that’s how it is. Simple yet extrely practical."
This was a spell that could be learned without materials, and even if materials were required, most from Lucilia’s ti were long extinct.
Following the instructions in the booklet, Ed closed his eyes and began learning the spell.
Without materials, there was naturally no way to accelerate the learning process.
It took almost half a day for Ed to successfully learn the spell.
He had already woken from his dream; it was nearly dawn, and faint light was about to illuminate the darkness.
"How was it? Did you learn it?"
Sensing Ed’s awakening, Lucilia erged from the magic mirror and asked excitedly.
"Of course! Who do you think I am? This spell is perfect. If you had given it to from the start, I might have already broken through as a first-spiral Toucher."
Ed spoke excitedly while giving Lucilia a bear hug to show his gratitude. He had not only learned it but had also just used the spell to begin ditation.
With the spell’s power stabilizing the magic within his body, his strength increased at an extrely rapid pace, but the only bad thing about it was that after using it, he felt very weak, just like he felt after banging a beautiful milf to dozen rounds without taking a stamina potion.
He could freely increase the speed of the cycle within the spell’s stable threshold without fear of harming himself.
"However, with this ditation thod, the ditation ti might not be too long in a day, right?" Ed asked, releasing the hug as he felt her pat his back. Obviously, for all her knowledge, she was very shy when it ca to physical contact with a man. Of course, it was a different matter if he ssed with her buttocks without her knowing.
This kind of ditation was too ntally taxing and would cause the body to enter a period of relatively rapid fatigue.
"Of course, it’s best to ditate for only one hour a day. After all, there’s no such thing as having it all, and believe , one hour is more than enough for this spell to empty out all your energy." Hearing Ed’s words, Lucilia, whose face was red from shyness, couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
"The ti spent at sea leaves you with nowhere to expend your energy, and most of the ti you’re just doing nothing. This ditation thod can also eliminate that extra energy."
Hearing this, Ed nodded in agreent, though he also felt annoyed that while at sea, he couldn’t touch any woman, which was very frustrating.
Just taking an hour to ditate before bed could effectively deplete his ntal and physical energy for a good night’s sleep.
Before dawn, Ed took another nap to refresh himself.
...
When Ed woke again, there was a knock on the door.
Knock knock knock!
"Ed, are you awake? We’re almost at our destination, don’t miss it! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"Okay, I’m coming right away."
Hearing Jason’s voice from outside, Ed got up, washed, dressed, and went out along with Lucilia, who, as always, had hung herself behind him.
On the deck, Jason and Elena were already waiting for him.
Ed looked into the distance.
There was a sizable island there.
The surrounding sea was filled with ships of all sizes, and their paint sches and various markings indicated that they were not ordinary rchant ships.
"Why are there so many ships?" Ed asked curiously.
Hearing this, Jason turned and replied, "This is the last stop on the way to the Dark Region. Almost everyone who wants to go there in search of wealth gathers here."
"So naturally, countless rchants co here to dump their goods; sea voyages require a lot of supplies."
At this mont, Elena pointed into the distance and said, "Ed, look over there."
The two looked carefully, and at the edge of their vision, the sky seed to be shrouded in thick, dark clouds, completely black.
The entire horizon was like that.
"That should be the very edge of the Dark Region. It’s a bit eerie to look at it from this far away," Jason couldn’t help but say.
After all, it was so distant, and observing it gave a feeling of being covered by an impenetrable gloom.
