Arcane Lord

The next day, Xia Duo woke up from his deep sleep and felt that his consciousness was as clear as ever before. At this moment, he suddenly felt something. Instead of getting up from the bed, he began to try meditation.

Every time he meditated before, he had done it before going to bed. He had never tried it when he was in the best mental state. Perhaps because of his habitual thinking, he had always associated meditation with sleep.

But in fact, the meditation method obtained from the Arcane Empire is essentially a method of training concentration ability. It must be found when the mental state is good to be most effective!

Feeling deeply that so much time had been wasted in the past, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Fortunately, it was not too late to wake up in time, but this would mean that the meditation time would have to be adjusted, from before going to bed to when first waking up.

This attempt had a completely different feeling from the past. There was no longer that feeling of powerlessness. While remaining extremely relaxed, Sha Duo also felt the lingering, vague magic net around him.

At this time, he didn't need to do anything deliberately, he just needed to let his subconscious move. Xia Duo had speculated about this state before, and of course he understood it from another angle.

He calls this state the "weak spellcasting state", which is used to regularize and order the caster's subconscious to achieve the effect of improving concentration. At the same time, it also has an effect that is difficult to achieve with other concentration training, which is to improve concentration. lower limit.

The chance of letting the spell go out of control due to human factors is greatly reduced.

The meditation method is consistent regardless of the stage. It can be called the best way to hang up. However, Xia Duo speculates that this is not the end. The ultimate achievement of meditation should not only allow the caster to perceive the soul, but also allow people to integrate the latent and superficial aspects. consciousness.

However, this is not reflected in the "Imperial Meditation Method - Third Edition". It is just Sha Duo's own speculation. At the same time, he will also develop in this direction. For now, it is just a prospect.

The first meditation ended quickly. Xia Duo felt a little tired and his body was lazy. It seemed that this meditation method was not used for rest. It was obviously different from elf meditation or yoga meditation on earth.

After resting for a while, Xia Duo tried again. He had a successful experience before, and he still succeeded this time. However, when Xia Duo felt happy and his consciousness was disturbed, he instantly broke away from the meditative state.

Next, Xia Duo kept trying, from morning to night, until he felt as if he was carrying a huge mountain mentally.

The meditation method is indeed a "weak spellcasting state" as previously guessed.

But no matter how weak the spell casting state is, if it continues, it will eventually reach its limit.

The concentration training method in Netheril is not in the casting state. Although it will also have a negative impact on the mental state, it can be recovered quickly after a short rest.

It does not affect the caster's actual spellcasting ability.

The mental exhaustion caused by spellcasting, including weak spellcasting, requires deep sleep to recover.

Now there are two choices before Sha Duo. One is to completely give up his usual spell casting, and at the same time give up part of his time to engage in meditation training in order to sense the soul as quickly as possible and meet the advanced conditions.

The other is to reduce meditation training, which will delay the progression to a certain extent.

But no matter which choice he chooses, the date for his advancement will be earlier than before he obtained the meditation method. It used to take more than a year, but now -

If he chooses the first option, he may reach the advancement threshold within a month or two.

If you choose the second option, it will only take half a year at most.

"How to choose?"

If Xia Duo's goal is only to advance to the level of Arcanist, or to directly become a god by advancing here, then there is no problem in choosing the first option. Even if he has to lie in bed for a month or two, he can endure it.

But the arcanist is just a starting point, and it is impossible for Shado to waste a month or two on this. It doesn't matter if he is in the projection plane, but the time in the main plane is relatively more precious.

In addition, the effect of meditation is positively related to the mental state. The better the mental state, the better the meditation effect. If you meditate all day long, it is actually very inefficient considering the diminishing marginal returns.

Long-term considerations are not in Xia Duo's interests.

At the same time, he was also asking himself, did he really need to advance to Arcanist in a short time?

The answer is no. The advanced arcanist's combat effectiveness is not necessarily stronger than he is now. It is only true that his status has improved, but it is not high enough to change the status quo.

Isn't Aibok an arcanist? I haven't seen any difference between him and him after he advanced.

As for the secret flame ritual of rejuvenation, Xia Duo now knows that it can only be enjoyed by goddess believers, and the goddess priest who came originally is from the Iolum Territory. There may be a secret deal, or maybe It is the legacy of the Grand Arcanist of Xavier.

After a little thought, Xia Duo decisively gave up on advancing quickly. After all, apart from satisfying some vanity, it had no practical benefits.

However, we still need to figure out how long to meditate every day for the most effective amount of time!

…

After eating something casually, Xia Duo fell asleep again. When he woke up again, it was a new day.

If you really meditate like this from morning to night for a month or two, then go to bed, and continue to meditate when you wake up, this is simply a meditation machine. It is difficult for Sha Duo to accept it just psychologically.

In the next few days, Sha Duo kept trying to meditate, and it wasn't until the fifth day that he roughly figured out the optimal meditation time, which was about 5 hours.

Starting from waking up every day, the first five hours are the most efficient. Although it is still effective after that, the diminishing returns are very serious. Unless you are really desperate just to advance, it is best not to meditate all day long.

Time utilization and the value created per unit time are very important to any spell caster.

…

The issue of the meditation method has come to an end for the time being. According to Sha Duo's plan, one is to finish the advanced course, and the other is to study new communication spells.

The fourteen advanced courses were supposed to end in the projection plane, but they returned early due to an accident, but now only some finishing parts are left.

After sensing the soul, there are still some skills in "Soulology" that need to be practiced, and then you can advance. There is no problem in time.

As for the new communication spells, it is not difficult to refer to the communication spells of the Arcane Empire.

"It's time to return to Linshui Village!"

Counting the time, from the perspective of the main plane, it only took more than ten days for him to leave Linshui Village, but if you include the time in the projection plane, it would have been more than a year.

Although the Tower of Time is more useful to him, emotionally speaking, the creation of the Great Xia Territory from scratch gave Xia Duo a greater sense of belonging.

In addition, the Great Xia Territory can be regarded as his foundation in Netheril, and his identity as a "pioneer" is more reliable than that of "Nia's husband".

At least this is a direct relationship with a great arcanist, not because of nepotism.

From the current point of view, the territory must continue to operate. Giving up the territory means giving up all the direct or indirect benefits from the princess.

For example, the [Scroll of Resistance] that Sha Duo wants to read next.
