Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 33 Scam

Advanced meditation techniques!

A rare meditation method coveted by countless wizarding apprentices.

Pei Ze previously only knew that advanced meditation techniques could construct more will runes and make one more powerful after advancing to become a wizard.

However, they only have a vague understanding of exactly how powerful it is.

It wasn't until I overheard the members of the Celestial Spirit Society discussing this topic that I suddenly realized what was going on.

This involves the methods of advancement for wizards.

Once a wizard apprentice has successfully constructed all the runes of will and reached a certain level of mental power, they can begin to condense mental crystals.

The spiritual crystal can be considered the core of a wizard's power.

It can be used to inscribe spells, enhancing their power while reducing their cost.

Wizards who have condensed their spiritual essence possess greatly enhanced combat power and are nicknamed "human walking cannons".

Therefore, the larger the volume of the spiritual crystal and the more spells inscribed on it, the stronger the wizard's combat power.

The size of the spiritual crystal depends entirely on the number of will runes.

The universal meditation method promoted by the Astral Alliance can only construct 12 Will Runes.

Advanced meditation techniques can create at least 18 Will Runes, and at most 24 Will Runes.

Wizards who advance through advanced meditation techniques are far more powerful than those who advance through general meditation techniques.

Furthermore, this gap will gradually widen as the wizard's level increases.

Therefore, the ideal approach is to practice advanced meditation techniques during the wizard apprenticeship stage.

Although this method makes it more difficult to advance to the level of a wizard than practicing the general meditation method, once successful, the future achievements will far surpass those of ordinary wizards.

But ideals are often grand, while reality is often harsh.

In the entire city of Dawn, only the Dawn Council, which is the highest ruling body, and the five great wizarding families possess advanced meditation techniques.

Those who are not part of the core inner circle should not even hope to have any contact with them.

For the vast majority of wizards, advanced meditation techniques are something that is unattainable.

Therefore, it is quite unbelievable that advanced meditation techniques would appear on the black market!

Pei Ze's eyes flickered slightly as he squeezed into the crowd.

In the middle of the crowd, a thin man in a black robe wearing a snake-head mask sat quietly behind the counter, seemingly oblivious to the surrounding chatter.

On the counter in front of him was a memory crystal ball.

From the conversations of those around me, it's not hard to tell that the so-called advanced meditation method is inside the memory crystal ball.

In fact, it was precisely because of this memory crystal ball, worth thousands of gold coins, that the people around them were not so firm when they raised questions.

Otherwise, in a different scenario, if someone claimed to possess advanced meditation techniques, everyone would definitely spit in their face.

Are you daydreaming in the middle of the night?!

At this moment, a tall man in black robes stepped forward from the crowd and asked in a deep voice, "What is the name of this advanced meditation method you mentioned?"

The snake-faced man glanced at him and shook his head, saying, "I don't know. I obtained this in a secret realm; it's an advanced meditation technique passed down from the Dark Ages."

Dark Ages!

The tall man in black robes paused slightly, then said in a deep voice, "A truly advanced meditation technique, and you're only selling it for 100 magic stone coins?"

The snake-faced man seemed to sneer and said, "I didn't say I would only sell it to you. Anyone here who can come up with 100 magic stone coins can get the contents of the advanced meditation method from me."

How can you prove it's real?

The snake-faced man said calmly, "Take out one hundred magic stone coins to prove you are qualified to buy, and I can let you see a portion first."

These words immediately caused a stir among the surrounding crowd.

The snake-faced man dared to say such things, which clearly indicated that he had considerable confidence.

Could this advanced meditation method be real?

In an instant, many people's gazes toward the memory crystal ball became incredibly intense.

Pei Ze was also very curious.

A thought struck him, and he used his Omniscient Eye on the snake-faced man.

[Analysis requires 5.2 mental energy. Analyze now?]

"Analysis".

The next second, the All-Knowing Eye returned the analyzed information.

【Spirit 18.34】

[Body Condition 45.12]

[Status: Demonic Infection]

Demonic infection!

pagan!

Pei Ze's gaze sharpened, and his look at the snake-faced man suddenly became meaningful.

Needless to say, this so-called advanced meditation method is definitely fake!

If heretics possessed advanced meditation techniques, would they need to make deals with heretical gods and demons, exchanging their souls for power?

But this guy is really audacious, daring to swindle people in the black market with fake advanced meditation techniques.

If this is exposed, being torn to shreds by an angry seller would be the least of your worries.

Anyone who can come up with 100 magic stone coins is obviously not someone you can mess with.

Or perhaps, the snake-faced man was confident that he wouldn't be exposed on the spot?

Just as Pei Ze was pondering, the man in black robes had already demonstrated his financial strength to the man in snakeskin. After reading part of the contents of the crystal ball, he hesitated for a few seconds, but finally took out one hundred magic stone coins, read all the contents, and then hurriedly left.

This move was like pouring a ladle of water into boiling oil, and the crowd immediately became restless, with many people eager to try it out.

However, most people remained skeptical.

After all, nobody knows whether that man in black robes was a plant.

Similar things happen frequently in the black market.

Pei Ze gave the snake-faced man a deep look, then turned and left.

He's not a champion of justice, so naturally he wouldn't be so bored as to expose someone.

Moreover, the heretics who dared to set up such a scam must be quite capable, and they might have other accomplices. It would be too dangerous for him, a second-level wizard apprentice, to confront this group of lunatics head-on.

As for reporting him, one must first explain how one discerned the true identity of the heretic.

You can't exactly say you cheated, can you?

Let's avoid creating unnecessary trouble.

Whatever this heretic is plotting in secret, let the black market administrators deal with it.

"Speaking of which, I wonder how many days it will take to refine a universal meditation method?"

Pei Ze suddenly thought of something.

When he was first promoted to a first-level wizard apprentice, he had a flash of inspiration to improve the general meditation method, but he was deterred by the fact that it would take more than 1,300 days.

But now his mental strength has increased dramatically compared to before, so the time needed for improvement should theoretically be greatly reduced.

Thinking it and doing it, Pei Ze immediately murmured, "Omniscient, improved universal meditation method."

[Task created to begin refining the general meditation method; estimated time: 245 days, 16 hours, and 32 minutes]

"More than two hundred days?"

Pei Ze frowned slightly.

Compared to before, this time has undoubtedly been reduced by a large margin, but it still did not meet his expectations.

Two hundred days is more than enough time for him to analyze the last three will runes and improve four or five spells.

"Let's wait until we've analyzed all the Will runes before we improve the meditation technique."

Pei Ze quickly came up with a plan.

In any case, whether it's advanced meditation or general meditation, the 1 to 12 Willpower runes are the same.

Practicing general meditation methods first will not delay your transition to advanced meditation methods later.

After returning from the black market, Pei Ze devoted himself to cultivation and potion making, leading a fulfilling life between his apartment, the No. 8 herb garden, and the potion making room.

In fact, with the income from selling medicines, he no longer needed to take care of the herb garden.

The reward of a mere 50 contribution points is nothing to him now.

The main reason Pei Ze didn't quit his job tending the herb garden was that he didn't want to sever his connection with Yin Xue.

For him at this stage, maintaining contact with Yin Xue has many benefits.

On the one hand, it can obtain a lot of intelligence.

On the other hand, if you encounter any difficult problems, you can ask Yin Xue for help.

Although Yin Xue didn't say it, anyone with eyes could tell that she had a powerful background.

Of course, Pei Ze did not deny that he had his own selfish motives.

After all, Yin Xue is a rare beauty, and no man would refuse to spend more time with such a beautiful senior.
