Starting Unlimited Evolution from Grinding Chapter 142: Meditation, Level 3 Practitioner

"Stop, wait a mont..."

Shachel directly interrupted her words, "Little Finnie, what did you just call ?"

"Aunt... Aunt Shachel?"

Finnie looked at her with a confused expression.

"Would you like to think again about what you should call ?"

Shachel's expression at this mont looked exactly like a creepy old uncle.

Finnie finally ca to her senses, pursed her lips, and spoke sowhat reluctantly, "Sister Shachel..."

"Yes!"

Shachel finally smiled with satisfaction, then said, "1500 gold, you can take both potions."

That ant 750 gold per potion, a price that actually matched the potions' true value.

Lin Mo suddenly realized—was this old woman tricking him and Finnie?

Just for Finnie calling her "sister"...

Although it sounded sowhat ridiculous, judging by Shachel's expression, it was definitely possible, and very likely.

Regardless, they still got what they wanted. Lin Mo paid the money, looking at his wallet with only 23 gold and 55 silver left, feeling a bit emotional for a mont.

Money—it's truly hard to earn but easy to spend.

But it had to be said, this money was well spent.

Lin Mo first opened the lightning attribute elent reagent and drank it.

The liquid slid down his throat, making the areas it passed through feel slightly numb... then a wonderful sensation spread throughout his body, similar to when he drank the Fla Reagent but not exactly the sa.

"As for the other bottle, it's best to drink it after so ti. Although they don't conflict with each other, using them consecutively might slightly affect the effectiveness."

Following Shachel's reminder, Lin Mo carefully stored the other earthy-yellow elent reagent, planning to drink it tomorrow.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they left Shachel's small shop. The group wandered outside for a while longer, but didn't buy any more snacks.

Mainly because it was approaching evening, and Sherfilia was worried it would affect dinner, so she wouldn't allow any more purchases.

Lin Mo and Ellie naturally didn't mind, but Finnie looked completely dejected, exactly like a greedy child.

This kind of simple-hearted girl behaved like an immature child in certain aspects, making people both amused and fond of her.

But no matter how pitiful Finnie's expression was, Sherfilia clearly wouldn't budge—no buying ant no buying, and even letting her act cute wouldn't work.

At tis like these, she didn't seem like a maid at all, but more like a housekeeper or even an elder.

Returning to the city lord's mansion, they were again in the sa dining room as before. Dinner was even more lavish than lunch. Finnie seed to be venting her frustration from not getting snacks earlier by eating a huge amount.

She didn't even maintain the elegant eating manners from lunch, becoming much more casual.

That said, she still wouldn't get angry with Sherfilia at all, because Finnie knew she ant well.

After the sumptuous dinner, Lin Mo and Ellie returned to their room. Lin Mo took out the Skill Scroll again and began studying it once more.

After resting for a while, he indeed didn't feel the gradually increasing irritation from before, but he still couldn't find that so-called "single-minded focus" state at all.

After closing his eyes and trying for a while, Lin Mo helplessly opened them, just in ti to see Ellie coming out after her bath.

The little wolf-girl didn't treat him like an outsider at all—she didn't even bother wrapping herself in a towel, just walked out boldly.

Uh... Ryukyu?

"Not going well?"

Ellie asked with concern while drying her hair.

"Yeah, having a bit of trouble finding the feeling."

"Then how about relaxing first? Release so pressure—maybe after releasing the pressure, you can find that feeling."

Ellie's eyes shifted as she made the suggestion.

She definitely had ulterior motives. Lin Mo instinctively planned to harshly criticize this improper behavior, but upon second thought, he suddenly felt she might have a point.

What was that term called... sage mode?

It seed to have so similarities with the state described in the scroll.

So why not try?

Lin Mo t Ellie's gaze. Seemingly reading the aning in his eyes, the next mont, Ellie wagged her tail and slowly walked over.

.......

So ti later, as Ellie slowly raised her head and gave him an incredibly charming look, Lin Mo sat up straight again, picked up the scroll, closed his eyes once more, and attempted to enter the "ditation" state.

Surprisingly, this ti he actually felt sothing—like an insomniac catching a faint hint of sleepiness.

Lin Mo's spirits lifted imdiately, and then...

Then that feeling disappeared just like that.

Because he had been completely stuck before, when he suddenly found direction, Lin Mo got too excited and imdiately lost that feeling.

It was like when you're about to fall asleep but suddenly need to pee.

Then you get up to use the bathroom and can't fall asleep again...

Lin Mo sighed helplessly and could only open his eyes again.

"Again!"

Regardless, he had found the right thod. Since that was the case, he just needed to keep working in this direction.

This made Ellie absolutely delighted. She wouldn't miss any opportunity to beco stronger and naturally seized the "timing" to grow through continuous training.

So after a mont, Lin Mo attempted "ditation" once more.

He easily found that feeling from before. This ti, Lin Mo didn't waste the opportunity due to excitent but slowly sank into it. Following the scroll's instructions, while maintaining that single-minded state, he attempted to circulate his magic power.

But as could be seen from the literal aning, these two things clearly had so conflict, so it wouldn't go smoothly.

A few minutes later, Lin Mo opened his eyes and sighed, "What a pity."

He was so close—he had almost felt his magic power and spirit beginning to enter a wonderful state, but at the final mont, he ultimately fell half a step short.

One more ti—this ti he would definitely succeed!

Lin Mo's continuous efforts moved Ellie to the point of tears, and for a mont she was dancing with joy.

And with her encouragent, Lin Mo made his third attempt.

This ti, with his previous experience, Lin Mo progressed smoothly and finally gradually entered the state described in the scroll.

His body was more relaxed than ever before, his mind was completely clear, and his spirit and magic power entered a mysterious resonance.

After a long ti, Lin Mo opened his eyes and exhaled a turbid breath.

Indeed, in the "ditation" state, he could clearly feel his ntal fatigue being gradually smoothed away. As for magic power... since he hadn't really consud much, the feeling wasn't very noticeable.

But that was fine—the proficiency panel would naturally tell him the skill's specific effects.

The relevant information appeared before his eyes. Lin Mo focused and looked:

"Learned skill [Primary ditation Technique], gained attribute points: Spirit 2, Magic 1!"

[Primary ditation Technique] Lv1 (0/10): Enter ditation state, increasing magic recovery speed by 20% and spirit recovery speed by 20%!

Note: This state requires high concentration and will significantly reduce insight!

Just from the added attributes, one could see this skill's extraordinary nature.

Learning an excellent-grade skill indeed added 3 attribute points, but this ti it wasn't 3 magic points—it was 1 magic point and 2 spirit points!

This was an absolute bargain.

What Lin Mo urgently needed to improve now wasn't magic power—it was precisely the hardest-to-improve spirit.

Unfortunately, with this 1 magic point added, Lin Mo's base magic power just reached 19 points, only 1 point away from promotion.

But that wasn't a big problem—promotion was just a matter of ti.

The Primary ditation Technique's effects were quite good, directly increasing magic and spirit recovery speed by 20%. This might not seem like much, but rember—this was only level 1!

Based on past experience, at levels 2 and 3, these values would increase. Excellent-grade skills had 7 levels total—by level 7, the values would likely be quite impressive.

And this was only the Primary ditation Technique—there were still Interdiate and Advanced levels above it...

But this skill also had drawbacks, as ntioned in the note. After activating this skill, you would enter the "ditation" state, which would significantly reduce your insight into the surrounding environnt.

It could be said that mages were more vulnerable and more likely to be attacked while ditating than usual.

So when preparing to ditate, you must first ensure the surroundings were safe, and it was best to have a bodyguard keeping watch.

This was actually quite normal—as core damage dealers, mages naturally needed protection from teammates.

Lin Mo closed the panel and attempted to enter the ditation state again.

For ordinary mages, even if they succeeded in entering this highly demanding ditation state once by chance, it would still be very difficult to enter it again later. Mastering this skill completely required long-term continuous practice and attempts—very challenging.

But Lin Mo was different. With the proficiency panel, as long as he succeeded once, everything that followed would beco familiar and straightforward—failure was simply not possible.

Oh right, there was also this...

Besides the information about [Primary ditation Technique], there was another ssage that had just appeared before his eyes.

[Joint Cultivation] proficiency 1

"Skill [Joint Cultivation] Lv2 (20/20) leveled up!"

"Current skill [Joint Cultivation] Lv3 (0/40)"

"Gained attribute point Constitution 1!"

That's right—through Lin Mo and Ellie's persistent efforts during this period, the [Joint Cultivation] skill had finally leveled up again.

However, what differences existed between level 3 Joint Cultivation and level 2, Lin Mo couldn't determine yet.

To understand the differences between them, he needed practical experience—he needed Ellie to tell him the answer.

And regarding this, Ellie was of course very enthusiastic and willing to help...

Early the next morning, a servant knocked on the door. Lin Mo groggily opened his eyes to see Ellie's furry ears in front of him.

He reached out and pressed them, making Ellie imdiately emit dreamy sounds and gently rub against his chin.

"Ti to get up. Finnie is already waiting for us to have breakfast."

Although yesterday had indeed been quite strenuous, because Lin Mo had started studying skills right after dinner, his actual sleep ti wasn't short. Combined with his naturally strong constitution, he had mostly recovered by now.

Lin Mo planned to take the next mission tomorrow. Before that, he had several important things to do today...
