After the internet was disconnected, I connected to the magic world.

For the next ten days or so, Lin Ze didn't go anywhere and stayed in the backyard every day to gather energy.

Every morning I go to the nearby hospital for two hours to collect magic points.

I go home in the afternoon to ignite my fighting spirit, and meditate in the evening to nourish my soul. My days are very regular.

At first, you have to use your mental energy to slowly grind it, but once you get used to it, it becomes much easier.

The magic energy circulates through the meridians along with the vital energy, and after a few cycles, it naturally merges together, and the sense of repulsion weakens.

After about half a month, the energy in his dantian had completely changed.

It was no longer a simple milky white, but a white with a faint purple tinge, and it looked several times more solid than before.

It flows with a gentle texture, unlike the fierce energy of the Gang Qi, but it is more resilient. It follows your thoughts and is incredibly obedient.

"From now on, let's call it Magic Power."

Lin Ze casually came up with a name that sounded pleasant and also aligned with the path of Taoist cultivation.

With a thought, his magical power automatically circulated throughout his meridians.

This escape had a significant impact; the six extraordinary meridians—Yinqiao, Yangqiao, Yinwei, Yangwei, Chongmai, and Daimai—that were originally blocked were suddenly cleared by the magical power.

These six meridians originally needed to be nurtured slowly through the microcosmic orbit, which would take at least one or two months to fully open.

As a result, the quality of the magic power was so high that it was like pouring boiling water on snow, and the blocked acupoints were opened with a single surge.

In just a quarter of an hour, all eight extraordinary meridians were connected.

The twelve regular meridians plus the eight extraordinary meridians form a complete circulatory cycle.

The true innate supreme state.

Lin Ze shuddered, a tingling sensation spreading from his bones, and his magical power naturally radiated outwards, forming a thin protective shield.

He subconsciously tiptoed, using his magic to lift his entire body upwards.

My whole body floated off the ground, hovering half a meter in the air, steady and without shaking.

Flight was achieved.

By the standards of this other world, this is something only a battle zone could reliably accomplish.

He achieved it as soon as he reached the Innate Supreme Realm.

Lin Ze manipulated his magic to slowly land, his anger still lingering, and he thought of magic again.

With a thought, he summoned the model of the Fireball spell in his mind and poured a wisp of magic power into it.

Slap it.

A fireball the size of a fist floated in his palm, its orange-red flames dancing steadily, and its temperature was even higher than that of pure magic.

Moreover, there's no need for deliberate control; wherever the thought goes, the fireball drifts there, as agile as if it had eyes.

"Awesome."

Lin Ze couldn't help but praise him.

No wonder the War Saint's combat power skyrocketed after fusing with demonic battle qi; his magic power could now be used as battle qi for close-quarters combat.

It can cast spells from a distance, with fireballs in one hand and fists in the other, making it versatile in both melee and ranged combat. What else could it be but a hexagonal warrior?

He tried several spells in succession: wind blade, earth wall, and lightness spell. All of them could be driven by magic power, and their power was significantly stronger than the pure magic version.

Just as he was feeling happy, Lin Ze suddenly frowned.

wrong.

He circulated his magic power throughout the body and found that the total amount of magic power had hardly increased.

Following the previous rhythm, each cycle of Qi circulation would slightly strengthen the body's protective energy. Although the increase was small, it accumulated over time.

Now, after walking around three times, the total amount of magical power has not changed at all, but the spiritual power in the sea of ​​consciousness has decreased slightly.

"What happened?"

Lin Ze calmed down and carefully sensed the surroundings.

Only then did I realize that when the Great Circulation was in operation, the Divine Energy Absorption Magic Array solidified in my sea of ​​consciousness would automatically start rotating, converting a portion of my spiritual power into magical power and merging it into my magical power.

In other words, each complete cycle of the body consumes mental energy to increase the purity of magical power, but the total amount does not increase at all.

It's like a pot of porridge. You keep adding concentrated ingredients, and the flavor gets stronger and stronger, but there's only so much porridge left in the pot.

Malnutrition.

These four words immediately popped into Lin Ze's mind.

The quality of my magic power is too high; I can't possibly feed it enough.

When circulating energy throughout the body, the body automatically uses mental energy to replenish quality, neglecting to increase the total amount.

If this continues, the purity will get higher and higher, but the total amount won't increase, so there will still be no combat power.

A few spells and it's all gone; no matter how high the quality, it's useless.

Lin Ze tried to stop the Great Cycle of Qi from transforming automatically.

Can not.

When the quality of magical power is too high, it has an inherent instinct to purify itself. Even without deliberate manipulation, it will slowly consume spiritual energy to maintain its purity.

Unless you completely seal your magic power in your dantian and keep it still, you can't stop it.

"That won't do."

Lin Ze shook his head.

We can't just stop cultivating in order to increase the total amount, can we? That would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Lin Ze frowned, opened the Magic Network Forum, and went into the spellcasting discussion area.

Search for keywords such as "large-scale mental energy collection" and "remote absorption of dissipated mental energy".

After flipping through dozens of pages, most of them were about the dark magic of evil sorcerers, such as soul extraction alchemy, soul extraction, and forcibly extracting people's soul essence.

The extracted spiritual energy carries the other party's memories, resentment, and even personality. Using it too much would cause one to suffer a mental split. Lin Ze glanced at it and immediately passed on it.

What he wanted was a method that was silent, did not harm the body, and only picked up the scattered spiritual energy floating in the air—a sure-fire way to make a profit without any consequences.

I finally found an old post that had been buried for several years in the obscure Mind Mage section, talking about the first-tier spell "Dream Spell".

The post says that dream entry is a basic skill for spiritual healers, allowing them to enter other people's dreams by following subtle mental fluctuations.

By altering dreams and playing pranks, one can reach a high level where they can crush the other person's soul, causing brain death in reality—the legendary act of killing in dreams.

However, this spell is quite unpopular. It doesn't have much real attack power in the early game and is only useful for gimmicks. Most mind mages are too lazy to practice it and would rather stack up a few attack spells.

Lin Ze's eyes lit up immediately.

The point isn't hurting people, the point is being able to enter other people's dreams!

In dreams, people's emotions are undisguised—fear, joy, excitement. With a little guidance, the spiritual energy that escapes is several times greater than in reality.

Moreover, once a person wakes up, they are unlikely to remember the details of the dream, so it happens without anyone noticing and there are no aftereffects.

He scrolled down the poster's homepage and found that the poster was a third-tier mental mage who also did alchemy research as a side job, with dozens of alchemy-related posts piled up on the homepage.

Upon clicking in, Lin Ze became increasingly alarmed.

The alchemy over there is not something as rudimentary as turning stone into gold.

It emphasizes "the evolution of Taiyi, the transformation of all things," and can refine anything from medicine and weapon making to body and spirit cultivation.

High-level alchemists can directly inscribe runes and patterns onto their own bodies, turning their physical bodies into treasures that increase both defense and magic power, allowing them to hold their own against warriors of the same level in a head-on confrontation.

Scrolling to the very bottom, an inconspicuous little post caught my eye:

Portable Spiritual Beacon Array Patterns, Remotely Shared Sensing.

It describes a low-level alchemical array pattern that can be engraved on small objects and bound to the caster's mental power.

No matter how far apart they are, the mental fluctuations within the array's range can be transmitted back to the caster in real time, making it essentially a long-range mental radar.

Lin Ze's mind went blank for a moment, and his thoughts instantly became clear.

Got it!

What if we engraved all three layers of runes—the Spirit Beacon Rune, the Divine Transformation Rune, and the Dream Entry Rune—on the same small object?
