Bloodline of the Wizard-Chapter 350 - 175 Quiet Cultivation, [Living Steel]
Chapter 350: Chapter 175 Quiet Cultivation, [Living Steel]
Ronan tested it out. In this environment, combined with "Schiper’s All-Seeing Treasure Pearl," the speed of mastery-level proficiency increase for the spells he comprehended in the Extraordinary Magic Realm was approximately three to five times faster than in a normal state.
After reaching five hundred points in master-level proficiency, further improvement became increasingly difficult. Ronan comprehended many magic domains, and when spread across each spell, it became noticeably slow.
Increasing efficiency by three to five times could save a lot of time.
"Using the corresponding elemental spells here increases their power much more than outside..and allows the practice of [Ascetic Body Refinement] to improve significantly."
Ronan narrowly survived the confrontation with the residual will of the "Ancient Frost Multi-Headed Snake Heikarto," relying entirely on his extraordinarily strong willpower far beyond that of wizards at the same level.
If replaced with an ordinary person, they might not have even held out long enough to seek Benny’s help before being consumed.
This willpower was tempered through countless pains and hardships, as hard as steel, yet it was still far from enough to contend with the dominating awareness of ancient times. [Ascetic Body Refinement] remained Ronan’s top priority for future practice.
After the battle with the Ancient Witch Revival Association on the Goblin plain, Ronan felt that his efficiency in increasing his spiritual power through meditation seemed to have improved slightly.
This improvement was very subtle, almost imperceptible unless closely felt, yet it was indeed an enhancement.
"It must be the constant spell competition and magic domain clashes that remove part of the impurities in my soul."
Ronan speculated.
The fact proved that the path of the Ancient Battle Wizard indeed had some effects. Wizards with average aptitude like him should take the initiative to seek competition, refining themselves in continuous conflicts, to have a chance to keep pace with other genius wizards, or even surpass them.
Exiting from the Ice-type Inheritance Space, he returned to his warm and quiet little room.
A whiff of food aroma drifted to Ronan’s nose. He looked up to find an additional dish placed on the long table in the middle of the room.
—A few pieces of pie, half a golden roast goose, and a bowl of thick soup cooked with cabbage leaves, mushrooms, and chopped onions, seemingly with other sauces that gave off a faint egg yolk aroma.
Someone came to the room while he was in the Inheritance Mark Space?
Ronan’s eyes flickered, noticing next to the food a black writing board the size of two palms with neat handwriting on it, saying: If you have any necessities for life, write them on the board, and someone will naturally arrange them for you.
"Looks like they’re really not planning to let me out anytime soon..."
Ronan sat down at the long table, calmly picked up the silver cutlery on the table, tasting the food one by one, then quietly wrote down his evaluation of the meal and his expectations for the next recipe on the black writing board.
He slowly tore at the crispy and juicy roast goose leg while his gaze swept over the bookshelves around, causing a blue-covered book, about half a finger thick, to automatically pull off the shelf, fly to him, and open with a "rustle" of pages.
Inside this book without a cover, only one spell rune was recorded, with no other content.
Ronan went through the books one by one, realizing that most of the books displayed on the shelves here were rune books.
This surprised him, making him suspect whether this place was the core knowledge inheritance part of the Magic Ring.
Runes are the condensed brilliance and the crystallization of wisdom of the wizard. Any existing runes are treasures, and if Ronan wanted to make strides on the wizard path in the future, he would inevitably reach the point of creating his own runes.
And the prerequisite for this step is having a sufficient knowledge reserve of runes.
Did he come across and collect many runes along his journey of practice?
Quite a few.
But were they in abundance?
Actually not, still far from meeting the minimum standard to self-create runes.
The [Mirror Light] seal was merely his extraction of the core rune of the "All-Seeing Treasure Pearl" and the Second-tier Mirror Magic Tool, far from being "self-created."
Sure, for a small second-level wizard like him to start thinking about creating runes and founding magic schools was indeed rather out of reach.
To speak more realistically, the advanced rare runes Ronan had currently accumulated—the core rune of the Wanxiang Treasure Pearl, the core rune of the Dawn Magic Tool Space Stasis Wand, the core runes of the Mirror Dagger, and the Silver Comb Magical Artifact, and the [Ice Soul] rune...
Ronan had never stopped researching these runes, but progress remained very slow, fundamentally due to a lack of rune knowledge reserve.
To use an inappropriate analogy, it was like an elementary school student picking up a college textbook, even if you hugged the textbook every day, after several years, you might not be able to figure out any valuable insights.
Ronan had seen and studied too few runes, and his foundational knowledge of general runes, once accumulated as a Rune Engraver, was far insufficient to support the analysis of advanced rare runes.
Now, the rune knowledge displayed on the bookshelves in this room was a rare opportunity to fill that foundational gap.
"Even if the Inheritance Mark Space is not open to me, allowing me to freely peruse these runes is an extremely rare opportunity..."
A glimmer of light appeared in Ronan’s eyes as he slowly looked through the rune books on the bookshelf while dining.
The Magic Ring had its own advantages, the pursuit of "all-powerful" caused the internal storage of the Magic Ring to hold a large amount of various elemental runes, including the corresponding general spells.
Ronan might not need to learn each one, but merely reading and understanding them rapidly expanded his insights in spells.
