As soon as Colin returned home, he headed straight for the Meditation Room.
Although, just like Atbolde had said, he was not yet at the point where he needed to advance.
But taking a look at the Meditation Method in advance was always possible.
As long as he didn't start practicing too soon, there wouldn't be any problems.
Moreover, with his current training speed under the enhancement of the Tin Ring Meditation Method, he would probably need at most one month to push his Wizard Level to a hundred percent of the Apprentice phase!
He couldn't wait much longer.
Unfortunately, the Tin Ring Meditation Method was, after all, a fusion of two Meditation Methods that had reached the Golden Paper level.
Now, even though progress had appeared again, indicating that he could break limits once more, it probably wasn't something that could be done in a short period of time.
Otherwise, if he could break limits with the Tin Ring Meditation Method again soon, perhaps he wouldn't even need a month, and maybe half a month would be enough to reach the peak of the Wizard Apprentice phase!
'Don't be greedy, one month is already fast…'
Shaking his head, Colin suppressed his scattered thoughts, took out the crystal, and concentrated his mind into it, starting to examine it carefully.
The crystal given to him by Atbolde contained only the knowledge of the Meditation Methods for advancing to an Official Wizard, with no content on the Meditation Methods for a First Rank Wizard.
If he wasn't mistaken, the subsequent knowledge would probably only be accessible after he had advanced to an Official Wizard.
Before long.
He quickly skimmed through the content in the crystal in his hand.
Atbolde had perfectly summarized the process of an Apprentice advancing to an Official Wizard.
Just as he had said, the key to advancing as an Official Wizard lay in the Talent.
And when he had reached the peak of the Apprentice phase, what he would need to do was plant the Talent Seed according to the Meditation Method and with the aid of some Magic Potions!
After that, once everything was ready, it would be time to bring it all together—
To stimulate the Talent Seed!!
This step required the Wizard Apprentice to fuel the process with Magic Power as firewood and Spirit as the kiln, offering their body and soul to nourish the Talent Seed!
At that moment, it would either be the end of firewood and kiln or the success of advancing, creating the Spirit Sea!
Talent…
Colin stroked the crystal in his hand, slowly calling forth the Golden Paper.
Faint golden particles converged to form an ancient paper that was somewhere between illusion and reality.
He quickly scanned downwards.
A line of characters leapt before his eyes—
[Talent: Strong Life I (4/100)]
'I wonder if there is any difference between the Talent on the Golden Paper and what the Meditation Method refers to as Talent.'
Colin mused to himself in silence.
It's worth mentioning that even if the same Tin Saint Meditation is used to advance, the Talents acquired afterward may not necessarily be the same.
The Talent Seed is just a seed, what kind of fruit it bears, or what flowers it blooms, varies for everyone.
The type of Meditation Method used for advancement is one of the factors influencing the Talent, after all, different Meditation Methods have different tendencies.
But more importantly, it's actually oneself.
The Wizard's own self is the primary determinant of Talent.
He put away the crystal and the Golden Paper.
After musing for a moment, Colin began his daily meditation.
Meditation has an upper limit, and missing a day meant missing out—no amount of meditation the next day could make up for it.
Therefore, ensuring daily meditation was very important for a Wizard.
The sun was gradually tilting westward, it was probably around three in the afternoon when he slowly got up and ended his meditation.
Thanks to the new Tin Ring Meditation Method, the time he needed for daily meditation had been reduced to 4 hours.
As for the effect of this meditation, the progress of the Tin Ring Meditation Method remained completely unchanged, while his Wizard Level progress had steadily increased by three points.
He stepped out of the Meditation Room.
Colin glanced at the sky, the sun was still high up... judging by the usual pattern, there were about four more hours till nightfall.
With a thought, he spoke a word to Renee and then walked toward the door.
The time was still early, and his daily routine of meditation was over.
Now was a good time to take another trip back to the School to check out the courses Atbolde had mentioned.
If possible, he hoped to confirm them today so that he could start classes early and begin producing Magic Potions as soon as possible.
This would allow him to earn enough Magic Stones to pay off his debts sooner.
After all, whether in his past life or now, he didn't like owing debts.
Being in debt always left him feeling uncomfortable… It was best to repay them as soon as possible.
Moreover, cultivating the Talent Seed would require a lot of assistance… and would likely cost quite a few Magic Stones.
Besides, the Golden Paper also needed Magic Stones for limit breaking… In short, it was never wrong to earn more Magic Stones without affecting the progress of meditation.
The public carriage sped along, quickly arriving at the familiar grounds of the Tin Saint School.
He walked briskly to the instructional area.
"You want to select these courses now? Let me see which ones are about to start."
In the room, a bearded old Wizard frowned as he took the white paper Colin handed over.
On it were the names of the courses that Atbolde had recommended.
He had already filtered them once according to his own situation.
He retained the basic courses but postponed some that he didn't need at the moment.
The reason for this choice was to be able to quickly produce a certain Magic Potion.
A Magic Potion from McIntosh.
Of course, not that Divine trap.
But a Magic Potion known as Blue Jindin.
Its sole effect was to improve the efficiency of meditation.
It had an effect of approximately ten to fifteen percent, lasting for half a month.
The market price was ten Magic Stones per bottle.
The reason for choosing it was simple, on one hand, it was one of the few Magic Potions with complete records in the Knowledge Crystal.
