Wizard Bloodline.

Chapter 126: Mental power is purified once, and a new talent is added - [Lake of No Thoughts]!
The two layers of rune protection array covering the room began to shake slightly, and the translucent energy shield was like a calm water surface hit by a sudden rain, stirring up a large number of ripples of various sizes.

Just a few wisps of aura from the "half-demon" state were emitted, and this second-level rune protection array could hardly withstand it.

Ronan did not delay. After entering the "half-demon" state, he quickly cut the flesh on his wrist. The extremely bright red blood flowed out quickly, dripping onto the body of the Holy Blood Sapling in front of him and onto its roots.
Half a minute later, all the noise in the room subsided.

Ronan, who had returned to normal, sat on the floor of the room, his long white hair and robes loose. He silently poured healing potion into his mouth while looking at the Holy Blood sapling in front of him that was growing stronger as if washed by fresh rain.

The Holy Blood sapling seemed to have grown several inches taller than before, and the eighth leaf had begun to grow on the third branch, constantly conveying a strong sense of closeness to Ronan.

Ronan's face showed satisfaction and relief.

His watering was not in vain.

The idea of ​​entering the "half-demon" state and then watering the seeds of the Holy Blood Tree was something he came up with not long ago.

In the "ancient giant monster form", the vitality contained in the blood flowing in Ronan's body is many times more than in normal state, and the effect of watering the holy blood sapling is many times better.

Of course, it consumes more vitality, but it can be replenished through healing potions, so Ronan thinks it is still worth it.

Watering in the fully transformed state would probably have a better effect, but that would be unnecessary as Ronan paid too high a price.

After the routine watering, Ronan put the Holy Blood sapling aside, and then took out a piece of translucent gel half the size of a fist from the space ring - the essence of the mind-stirring brain fluid obtained from the wizard in the Seventh Ring Tower.

The Nightmare Tungsten Steel transformed into the shape of a knife and gently scraped off some almost invisible fine white powder on the gel.

Then pour the powder into the prepared potion, mix it, put it into a small metal dish, and light it with the magic flame.
Instantly, a very thick white smoke emerged and quickly hovered above Ronan's head. It was blocked by the light shield of the rune array, hovering still and not dispersing, but only dropping tiny wisps of smoke and entering Ronan's mouth, nose and ears.
The smoke entered his body and was absorbed by his brain. Ronan immediately felt waves of "clarity" rising up like a rising tide. His mind became increasingly active, and the slight fatigue that had accumulated in his body disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.

"The effect is better than expected... I don't know how it helps the growth of mental strength, but it does help meditation a lot."

Ronan evaluated the effects of the brain fluid essence of the mind-controlling monster and felt quite satisfied.

He had read in a wizard book in the tower that although the Mind-Stirring Monster was classified as a beast, it actually belonged to a special race in earlier times.

Like elves, dwarves, barbarians and so on.

They are good at spells of psionicism and illusion, and each of them is a genius wizard in these two fields.

However, due to the magical effect of brain fluid essence on enhancing the mental power of wizards, the stronger the mind-controlling monster, the better the effect of the brain fluid.

Therefore, this population was hunted in large numbers by wizards, to the point of being almost completely extinct, and even after extinction, they were directly classified as non-human monsters.
In fact, many things about the wizarding world are far more cruel than normal people can imagine.

Ronan felt a little emotional in his heart, and quickly calmed his mind. Before the effect of the brain fluid essence of the mind-grabbing monster was exhausted, he quickly set up an ultra-micro meditation array around himself.

This array is the same as the rune arrays in the Silver Tower and the ten meditation towers, but the effect is not as strong. However, it is much better than the normal meditation of ordinary wizards.

Ronan is now "a sixth-ring man" and "rich and powerful". Without having to worry about the consumption of magic stones, he naturally maximizes all aspects of his training conditions.

In fact, Ronan has reached a bottleneck now. His mental power is perfect in the late first level, and no amount of meditation will promote the growth of his mental power.

But he was on the boat now, and the only practice he could do was meditation.

Moreover, for a first-level wizard to be promoted to a second-level wizard, the purity of mental power is very high. Meditation has the effect of purifying mental power, which can more or less increase the success rate of promotion to the second level.

Not only that, Ronan's master-level proficiency in [Basic Meditation - State of Emptiness] is already close to five hundred points.

According to his original expectation, 500 points of master-level proficiency was a threshold. Once he crossed it, the extraordinary realm of magic could enter a realm of resonance.

[The Realm of Emptiness and Enlightenment] Once one reaches this level of proficiency, perhaps some kind of qualitative transformation may occur.

Closing his eyes and immersing his mind, Ronan quickly entered a state of meditation.

It would take a total of twenty days for the magic ship to fly to White Stone Castle, and he didn't want to waste these twenty days.

In the following days, Ronan's daily routine was calm and regular.

All the time was spent in meditation. Occasionally, he would stop to rest, water the Holy Blood Sapling with blood, study the few runes inherited from the Mirror Court, and eat a simple meal.
In this state, his master-level proficiency in [Basic Meditation] was steadily increasing, getting closer and closer to Ronan's target of 500 points.

On a sunny afternoon, everything happened without warning and yet so naturally.

On the character panel that no one could see, the master-level proficiency of [Basic Meditation - Clear Realm] quietly changed from 499 to 500.
At the moment when the numbers jumped
"Om-"

Ronan, who was in a deep meditation state, suddenly felt a slight tremor in his consciousness space.

Then wonderful changes happened.

The ball of mental power in his mind that was shaped like a water ball suddenly collapsed inwards, and its volume was reduced by nearly two-thirds in an instant. The color that was originally close to translucent viscous glue also suddenly became blurred.

It became more viscous, and even contained some tiny particles, which were extremely tiny crystals of spiritual power.

"Purification of spiritual power once again."

Ronan suddenly opened his eyes, and the light that suddenly bloomed in his azure eyes filled the room in front of him with light, as if he had suddenly returned from the dim afternoon to the bright noon.

This bright process lasted for half a minute before it slowly dimmed as the light in Ronan's eyes faded and returned to normal.

"The total amount of my mental power has not changed, but its quality has increased three times compared to before!"

Ronan was filled with surprise after checking the changes after his promotion.

He even saw that on the character panel, in the strength column, the words that originally read [First-level formal wizard (100%)] actually changed to [First-level formal wizard (101%)].

102, 103, 104
The progress figures are still growing with the help of various methods to enhance mental power and assist meditation.

In his mind, the size of the spiritual power water ball, which had originally "shrunk" to one third, was also rapidly increasing.

Ronan felt this change and couldn't help but take a deep breath, his eyes shaking.

"If this continues, my spiritual power will be much higher than that of a normal late-stage first-level wizard after I advance to the second level, right?!"

Ronan didn't know what this change would bring to him, but there was no doubt that it was definitely a good thing.

With his eyes flashing, Ronan took out a bottle of gray potion from the space ring.

This potion was prepared by Costi for him to assist in his advancement. Its main function was to help purify his mental strength. It was to be taken before officially reaching level two.

Ronan hesitated for a moment, then swallowed the entire bottle of medicine. He closed his eyes and silently felt the changes brought about by the potion.
After a moment, his eyes opened, with an inexplicable light flashing in them.

"It really doesn't work at all."

"After reaching 500 points of master-level proficiency in [Basic Meditation], my mental power was purified thoroughly on its own. After purification, my mental power was close to a solid-liquid mixture, and the purity was terrifyingly high. The purification potion that was originally very effective for a normal level 1 wizard in the late stage, now tasted like water."

Ronan's heart was filled with great joy. He continued to feel the various changes brought about by the upgrade of his meditation technique, and subconsciously activated the effect of [State of Emptiness].

When activating the effect of [Realm of Emptiness], Ronan was still imagining in his mind how the mental power recovery effect of [Realm of Emptiness] might increase to what extent after reaching 500 points of proficiency.

But never thought about it.

At the moment of activation
He suddenly discovered that the flickering light spots in his original consciousness space had disappeared!
Instead, there was a huge pure white disc.

The disk released a halo of light, which slowly spread out like ripples.

As the ripples spread, Ronan felt—

All the various complicated thoughts and emotions that were surging, rolling, and arising in my heart seemed to be frozen by some force and sank rapidly to the bottom.
All distracting thoughts and all emotional fluctuations are frozen or smoothed out.

Ronan entered an unprecedented wonderful state of absolute peace and calmness.

No thoughts, no desires, no demands.

"What kind of ultimate sage state is this?"

The magic ship, shrouded in the light of rune array, broke through the heavy clouds and mist, like a huge blue flying bird, or a glowing blue whale, cruising silently in the sky.

On a deck near the upper level of the magic airship, a middle-aged man with thin cheeks, sunken eye sockets, gray hair tied into small braids, and intricate white tattoos on the back of his hands stood quietly on the platform outside the cabin.

He looked down at the lower-level wizards standing or sitting on the large deck below, and asked the people around him indifferently, "How long will it take to reach Whitestone Castle?"

The young crew member waiting beside the man was extremely respectful and careful. He knew very well that the man in front of him was one of the few second-level wizards on the ship.

On the previous journey, he had a conflict with another second-level wizard over a maid. As a result, the other party took the initiative to give in. His strength was probably exceptionally strong among the second-level wizards.

“Three days left, my lord.

If nothing goes wrong, we will be able to reach Baishi Gaoling smoothly in the morning three days later."

The crew member replied respectfully.

The middle-aged wizard nodded lightly and was about to ask something else when suddenly, the tightly closed door of a room not far behind him suddenly opened, and an indescribable breath emanated from the room.

The middle-aged wizard subconsciously turned his head to look. He could feel the mental fluctuations of a late-stage first-level wizard emanating from the person who walked out of the room.

But this fluctuation seems to be different from that of a normal first-level wizard.

He was about to investigate, but when he turned around, he met a pair of eyes.

The middle-aged wizard's body suddenly froze in place—

What a pair of eyes those are.

The pure icy blue color is like the surface of a lake covered with a thick layer of ice.

There was no emotional fluctuation, extreme coldness and extreme indifference.

Looking into their eyes, it seemed as if a surge of cold air was spreading directly towards them along the intersection of their gazes, bringing waves of chill that almost froze their souls.

The middle-aged second-level wizard felt his scalp tingling in an instant, and waves of cold air rushed up from his back to his neck. Invisible beads of sweat even began to seep out of his forehead and temples.

He almost couldn't see clearly what the owner of those eyes looked like, whether he was a man or a woman, old or young, tall or short, fat or thin, and he had no idea of ​​the style of the robe he was wearing.

All my attention was taken away by those ice-blue eyes.

It was not until the owner of the eyes soared into the air from the deck, quickly broke through the rune array shield outside the magic airship, and disappeared into the vast clouds that he gradually recovered from his almost out-of-control state.

"What kind of evil person is this? Is he really only level one?"

The middle-aged wizard, with a pale face, muttered to himself in disbelief, and then without asking any more questions to the crew, he hurriedly left the deck and went straight back to his room, staying indoors and refusing to come out.

"Whoohoo-"

The air currents at high altitudes created strong winds, blowing up Ronan's hair at his temples and his thin metal robe.

Ronan, with extremely icy blue eyes, stood among the clouds. Countless spells were released from his body one after another, causing the surrounding clouds to violently turbulent, like raging waves in the sea.

Ronan's figure was also moving at a very fast speed, constantly changing his shape in the clouds.

If you observe carefully, you will find that every spell he casts, both in casting speed and spell power, is far beyond the previous ones.

Not only that, the connection between each spell was incredibly smooth, the timing of release was perfect, and the released spells also had many more sophistications and subtle changes that had never been there before. It was like a feast of spell interpretation!

"call!"

Finally, Ronan's figure suddenly stopped, and his eyes, which seemed to be sealed by a thick layer of ice, gradually melted and returned to their original clarity and blue.

Those frozen emotions began to slowly re-emerge.
Ronan chased in the direction of the magic airship, his white hair dancing and a huge and brilliant light blooming on his handsome and flawless face.

"After the spiritual power is purified, the speed of casting spells is doubled, the power of spells is nearly tripled, and the spiritual power consumption of casting spells is reduced by two times."

"After entering the [Empty and Clear Realm], the recovery efficiency of mental power is almost five times higher than before! It is much better than directly taking the second-level mental power recovery potion!"

"The most important thing is the regeneration and transformation of [Empty and Clear Realm]!"

It was just like that, a magical state just now, not being affected by any emotions or thoughts, all emotions seemed to be frozen to the bottom, extremely indifferent, and extremely calm.

At this time, it appears in the [Talent] column of Ronan's character panel.

It’s called——【Lake of No Thoughts】!
initiative.
