My health recovery is incredibly fast.

[Spell Power] Current maximum power: 2 points

(This spell is associated with the trait "Floating". The docile element of the "Floating" trait doubles the spell's power.)

[Spell Description] The inventor was Tivanas.

[Spell Effect]

When using this spell, the caster will transform into a cloud of energy, drifting at a maximum speed of 2 kilometers per hour. This drifting process will continuously drain the caster's stamina. When stamina is insufficient, the spell will be forcibly terminated.

Xia Zuo read the line about [Spell Power] several times and roughly understood the relationship between elements and power.

Any element of wind can provide power to the Wind Walk spell.

At the same time, the power provided by the wind element, which has the [Floating] trait, is doubled.

Therefore, to quickly increase the power of Wind Walk, you can focus on incorporating wind elements with the [Floating] trait.

Xia Zuo calmed his excitement, walked from the window to the desk, picked up his mentor's glass ball and gently rubbed it.

Soon after, the glass ball emitted a white light, and the ball floated up from the palm of the hand.

"Professor, I have successfully absorbed the obedient element from the Master-level Elemental Bottle. I have awakened the innate spell, Tivanas Windwalk."

Xia Zuo said to the glass ball.

A beam of white light shone from the glass sphere and landed on the wall of the room.

Silver sand materialized from nothingness, changing its form on the wall until it transformed into a line of words: "Wait for me in the room, I'll be there soon."

A few minutes later.

The silver sand covering the door panel became visible, receding towards the walls on both sides. The door opened, and Beatrice entered the student dormitory.

She immediately manipulated the basket of dirty clothes under the bed to fly into the hallway, and then created a breeze in the room that drifted out the window.

Beatrice glanced around the room; the tables, chairs, benches, and glass bottles were all neatly arranged in their original places. "It seems that your process of incorporating the obedient element went smoothly without any unexpected incidents."

Xia Zuo stood by the table with his hands at his sides and asked a series of questions:

"Professor, how many days has passed? How is Anruer doing lately? I would like to ask you to convey my recent situation to her."

"Sixteen days have passed. Anru'er has been helping Professor Zhuolang refine oils lately, spending all her time in the oil alchemy area, trying to pass the time you spend practicing meditation with her busy refining work. Your news should give her a break."

Beatrice recounted Anjou's situation with a smile, and then said:

"Your awakened innate spell, Tivanas Windwalk, is a very useful support-type flight spell."

"The inventor of this spell was Master Tivanas himself."

"She was originally a member of the Tower Scholars, but joined our alchemy school thousands of years ago, and is now a Grand Mage."

"Tivanas's Wind Walk is the precursor to the Flight spell. The Flight spell was invented by Master Tivanas in conjunction with other archmages."

"When you go to the Mage Temple in the future, you might be able to learn the most advanced flying techniques from her."

Xia Zuo raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes filled with longing. He never expected that there would be such a story behind his innate magical talent.

Chapter 6 Condensed Crystals

Beatrice walked to the desk, lightly touched the parchment scroll with her fingertip, and said:

"You are now a mage apprentice. But you have only completed a small part of your first meditation practice. You must truly tame a wild element and then incorporate it into your spiritual ocean before you can be considered to have completed your first practice."

"So, are you planning to use the basic meditation method to tame them, or the [Poison Crystal] meditation method?"

Both methods are recorded on the parchment scrolls.

Their approaches are completely different, and their taming processes are entirely different.

The taming method of basic meditation is more like appeasing unruly elements, promoting one's own spiritual ocean, and coaxing and deceiving them into becoming obedient elements.

The parchment scroll enumerates several ways to showcase one's spiritual ocean to untamed elements.

E.g.

Use your mind to trace the shape of elemental patterns around the target. The more accurate and precise the trace, the higher the success rate of taming. This process will be much easier if you have a docile elementalist to assist you.

Taming unruly elements can be attempted repeatedly.

If it doesn't work this time, there will be another chance.

The imprisoning effect of the Elemental Imprisonment Bottle weakens with each attempt to tame it, and it can usually last until the 7th attempt.

But most people don't last until the seventh attempt.

Their mental landscape shrinks on the fifth and sixth attempts, and they find themselves unable to enter a deep meditative state anymore.

At this point, the mind has already suffered severe damage and needs a long period of rest and recuperation to recover.

In contrast.

The method of taming the [highly toxic crystal] through meditation is much simpler and more direct.

In summary, it can be summed up in four words:

Don't spoil it!

If the unruly elements don't cooperate, that's fine; just pour elemental toxins into the elemental imprisonment bottle!

Next, firmly grasp the cluster of toxins, covering it with the unruly elements.

Once the unruly element is enveloped by the elemental toxin, it will quickly submit and transform into a docile element on its own.

But once it escapes the encirclement of the elemental toxins, it will revert to its untamed nature and flee.

Similarly, as long as it fails to break through the elemental confinement bottle, it can continue to try.

After the unruly element transforms into the docile element, the cultivator needs to enter into deep meditation and condense highly toxic elemental crystals according to specific methods.

Taming unruly elements in this way has the drawback of wasting an Elemental Imprisonment Bottle if it fails. The elemental toxins inside the bottle can be poured out and stored for future use.

Xia Zuo quickly came to a conclusion after a moment's thought.

"Professor, I'd like to try the [Poison Crystal] taming method using meditation once. If that fails, I'll switch to the basic meditation method."

“Well, I’ll tidy up your room.” Beatrice pointed towards the door, indicating that the student should wait there.

She first manipulated the bottles and jars on the desk to clear a space on the table, then brought a large leather suitcase from the corridor and placed it on the desk.

This is a leather case specifically designed for handling toxic substances.

Its cover is made of transparent glass, and the glass is sealed with several layers of special fabric around its edges.

It has two round holes on its side.

The user puts their arms through the round hole, puts on leather gloves sewn to the hole, and then observes the contents of the box through the transparent cover while manipulating the contents with their gloved hands.

Beatrice opened the suitcase, placed the Elemental Imprisonment Bottle containing Unruly Elements into the slot, and then put in the metal box containing Elemental Toxins.

After making sure both were securely in their slots, she closed the suitcase, sealed the lid, and beckoned the students at the door to come over.

Beatrice pointed to a section of text on the parchment and asked:

Have you read this part carefully?

Xia Zuo leaned closer to take a look, then nodded in response, "I've already memorized it."

The place Beatrice was pointing to contained a secret about the soul and body, and also revealed the core content of the [Poisonous Crystal] meditation method.

Nature—Body—Soul—Ocean of Spirit.

This is the conduction path of elements and their energy.

Nature and the body are material.

The soul and the ocean of spirit are not matter.

Elements, on the other hand, are a special kind of existence that exists between matter and non-matter.

Toxins only affect substances.

Because elements are material, they can be affected by toxins.

The highly toxic elemental crystals within the spiritual ocean have no effect on the soul or the spiritual ocean itself.

However, because the soul is connected to the body.

Therefore, the toxic effects of highly poisonous elemental crystals are transmitted to the body through the soul.

This is why the highly toxic elemental crystals within the spiritual ocean can have a toxic effect on the cultivator's body.

Beatrice knew very well how good the student's memory was, and had no intention of testing him.

With her arms crossed and a serious expression on her face, she solemnly instructed:

"Your willpower is very strong. The stronger your willpower, the weaker the effect of the poison will be in transmitting from your soul to your body."

"That's precisely why the academy assigned you to the Department of Poison Alchemy."

There's no specific way to measure the strength of willpower. The university can't offer you any further advice.

"So I have to remind you of something."

"The 'Highly Toxic Crystal' meditation method demands extremely high levels of willpower."

"When you first practice this meditation method, you must strictly follow the instructions on the parchment scroll. If your soul feels aches, you must stop immediately. The academy does not require you to succeed on your first attempt at this meditation method."

"Whether this attempt succeeds or not, you must notify me immediately, understand?"

Xia Zuo nodded to his mentor and replied, "Yes, Professor, I understand."

“Let me think if there’s anything else I haven’t told you.” Beatrice stroked her chin lightly. “Oh, and don’t forget to search for the Untamed Element through deep meditation.”

Xia Zuo nodded. "Yes, Professor. Please give my regards to Anruer."

"Okay, I'll be going now. I'll wait for your good news." Beatrice waved and left.

After the door closed, Yinsha covered the door panel, and Xia Zuo sat down in a chair to read the contents of the parchment scroll again.

Searching for traces of untamed elements is of paramount importance to mages.

Generally speaking, there are two methods.

One method is to search using the naked eye or magic.
