In the ti that followed, the conversation between the two beca much more relaxed and casual.
Amy continued to share various gossip she heard in the cafeteria and the predicants of the new apprentices, while Jeming listened quietly, discreetly perfecting his academy map and interpersonal relationship chart.
They chatted congenially until the cafeteria's clientele gradually dwindled, and they realized it was getting late.
"Alright then! I'm heading back to the dorm to continue my ditation thod research. I can't sleep well if I don't finish drawing the first pattern!" Amy stood up, stretched lazily like a cat.
"That's it for today too, I'll try again when I get back." Jeming also got up.
"Great! See you tomorrow! Hopefully, we can both get started soon!" Amy waved energetically, then walked towards the Alchemy Elent dormitory building.
Jeming watched her back until she disappeared from sight, the smile on his face gradually fading, replaced by a deep gaze.
"Interesting."
He recalled Amy's crafty eyes and her seemingly casual "probe."
"She ca to find , definitely as a kind of probe. She found out about my Sixth Level Talent and wanted to assess my potential, moreover, to see if I've seen through the academy's ploys... very intelligent and pragmatic."
Jeming shook his head, a sense of realization rising in his heart.
"It seems few people who make it into the Logistics Elent on their own abilities are simple. Amy, I hope, will be a good collaborative partner."
After all, he indeed needed an additional source of information, and soone like Amy was very suitable.
anwhile, on her way back, the smile on Amy's face gradually disappeared.
She murmured softly to herself: "Jeming... Sixth Level Talent... much smarter than he appears, every word asured, questions hitting the mark... and it seems he has seen through the academy's tricks as well. Hmm, this person... is the type who likes to keep things under wraps. But his abilities should be much stronger than that boastful guy, gotta maintain a good relationship with him."
...
...
Days have passed since the Nolun Academy talent assessnt.
Over a few days, Jeming felt the ti was about right.
Based on the intelligence gathered these days, most of the Fifth Level Talent apprentices were close to success, naturally, as a "little genius" with Sixth Level Talent, he ought to succeed a bit earlier than these people.
Tonight, he decided to let his "efforts" bear "fruit."
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Jeming once again sank into his Sea of Spirit.
He skillfully began to outline the final main pattern, using Spiritual Power as a pen, smoothly depicting each complex line in the Sea of Spirit.
He felt the Spiritual Power circulating and condensing along a specific path, the pattern's structure was unusually exquisite, seemingly consonant with so kind of profound cosmic law.
He no longer made any flaws, the final stroke landed steadily, perfectly connecting with the starting point!
Rumble——
It was as if a soundless thunder exploded in the Sea of Spirit!
The entire space of the Sea of Spirit shook violently, but this tremor was no longer a backlash of failure, but a kind of vibrant, transformative force!
The just-completed Truth Rune erupted with dazzling light instantly, the light spreading outward as if opening a whole new area in the Sea of Spirit.
Jeming could clearly feel that this pattern seed closely linked to his Soul and Spiritual Power, becoming a... anchor point in his Sea of Spirit!
Accompanying the complete stabilization of the entire pattern, a realization naturally surged within him—he "saw" the deeper structure of this pattern.
He understood that the last pattern was conceptually completely different from the other four patterns.
The entire Truth Rune was composed of four outer patterns and a fifth one located at the very center, forming that abstract tetrahedron shape.
The Truth Rune associated with the Basic ditation thod actually included only those four outer patterns, mainly these four small runes constructing most of the effects.
As for the fifth pattern located right in the center, Jeming felt a strange sense of familiarity—the lines, the structure... he compared it with the descriptions of basic alchemical runes in the , and suddenly ca to a realization.
The fifth pattern was precisely one of the most fundantal core runes of Alchemy!
It represented the concept of "Transformation," and it was also the key to initiating interaction with specific domain energy in the first Truth Rune!
Thinking of this, Jeming imdiately took out the Basic Alchemy Manual and compared it with the Basic ditation thod.
Sure enough, the core patterns of the second and third Truth Runes in the Basic ditation thod were the "Fusion" and "Refinent" runes in Alchemy.
No wonder Professor Clark emphasized the need to get a head start on the ditation thod, nor why the academy insisted on dividing apprentices among various schools.
Not only because learning any school consus a great deal of a person's energy, but also because distinctions are drawn right from the outset of the ditation thod.
With the first Truth Rune stabilized in his Sea of Spirit, Jeming vaguely felt a new connection—a weak connection with the external environnt that he had never perceived before.
Following the guidance in the subsequent part of the ditation thod, Jeming focused his mind on the newly completed pattern, attempting to "draw" that fuzzy connection with Spiritual Power.
In the next mont, streams of weak yet extrely active energy particles were actually attracted by that pattern, slowly converging from the external environnt and flooding into his Sea of Spirit!
These energy particles were what wizards referred to as "Elental Power," lively, various, carrying different properties.
As soon as the Elental Power surged into the Sea of Spirit, it was attracted by the Truth Rune, slowly rging into his Spiritual Power, nourishing and enhancing his Sea of Spirit.
A massive amount of elents gathered beside the Truth Rune, forming an energy shape resembling flas.
"So this is what it ans to ignite the Spiritual Fla, no wonder..."
He could feel his Spiritual Power becoming more active and tensile in a manner different from Cultivation Immortality's Refining Spirit.
Jeming was sensing the Elental Energy slowly pouring into his body when a flash of insight struck.
He operated the Inner Circulation thod to its limit, sealing his body's internal state to prevent detection.
Jeming tentatively activated his cultivation technique, using the mutual interference of the three treasures—Essence, Qi, and Spirit—in the Refining Essence and Qi thod to guide a portion of the inflowing Elental Power towards his body's True Essence System constructed by Inner Circulation.
The Cultivation Immortality System's Refining Essence and Qi and Inner Circulation thod fundantally involve the mutual transformation of one's internal "Essence," "Qi," and "Spirit," forming a self-sufficient cycle within the body.
Thus, when those elents from the external environnt entered his Inner Circulation System, his True Essence System could "digest" and "transform" them.
Jeming could clearly feel a slight increase in his True Essence without refining his vitality and blood!
The initially mixed Elental Energy, through the filtering and refinent of the Inner Circulation System, was gradually being transford into pure True Essence!
Although the conversion efficiency seed not high, nowhere near as fast as directly absorbing Spiritual Qi, it indeed succeeded.
Jeming's heart was brimming with almost uncontrollable joy!
This ant that he finally found the "fuel" to obtain the energy needed for Cultivation Immortality thods in this world of Absolute Spirit!
The Wizard System's ditation thod unexpectedly opened a door for him to absorb external energy.
More importantly, this discovery completely solved another of his dilemmas: he no longer needed to rack his brain to disguise the speed of his ditation thod cultivation.
By adjusting the proportion of Elental Power converted into True Essence, he could slow down his ditation progress to fit his "Sixth Level Talent Apprentice" persona.
