OBS Chapter 3 Meditation
Chapter 3 Meditation
As Li Ang pondered this, he returned to his room.
"Cough, cough cough,"
As soon as I pushed open the rotten wooden door, a musty, rotten smell rushed into my nostrils again.
Having just spent half a day breathing fresh air on deck, my lung condition was feeling a little better; but now, as soon as I entered the dark and damp space of the ship's lower deck, I felt quite suffocated.
Sitting down and opening "Basic Meditation Rules," Li Ang wanted to start meditating immediately.
After all, not to mention that if he couldn't succeed in meditation within half a month, he would be sent back to his hometown, and whether his lung disease could withstand the back-and-forth travel.
Just considering that he has awakened a cheat ability, how could he give up the opportunity to become a wizard?
Following the rules described in the book, Li Ang tried his best to adjust his breathing to a special rhythm of opening and closing.
His consciousness began to sink inward, imagining a spiritual core floating in the void, as described in the law;
Then, slowly guide the surrounding magic into the spiritual world, forming a moving star around the spiritual core...
Once the first star is formed, one can learn to cast level 0 spells and become a level 0 wizard, which is the level that wizard apprentices usually stay at.
Subsequent meditation requires no prior steps; one only needs to use mental power to guide magic into this star until it splits into three, becoming a Level 1 wizard.
Just as the stars were gathering, a sudden, sharp itch came from my throat.
Li Ang, who was building his spiritual core, was pulled from his meditation by this sudden pain and began to cough violently.
"Cough, cough..."
The meditation was suddenly interrupted by an external force. Apart from the pain from coughing, Li Ang felt as if his head was about to explode.
He was panting heavily, and coughed several times before finally calming down.
After resting for a while, Li Ang regrouped and decided to try meditation again, to build a spiritual star in his mind.
However, whenever he entered the spiritual world, he would inhale putrid gases, triggering a violent dry cough and causing his meditation to fail.
In the damp, moldy hold, his lungs felt like they were being violently rubbed with a stiff brush, making it impossible for him to concentrate.
"The air here is so polluted..."
If it were just a lung disease, he could suppress the urge to cough through sheer willpower.
"If only there were some air circulation here..." Li Ang clutched his chest, his face pale.
Suddenly, the system panel reappeared before my eyes.
[Barrier Ship Plate: lv0]
[Status: Bindable]
[Binding Cost: 1 Spirit Points]
Li Ang was shocked, not expecting that even the outer planks of this huge four-story wooden ship were protected by a magical barrier.
By the way, binding the system to the facility requires "mental power," but how much mental power does he have?
With a thought, Li Ang opened his full control panel.
Name: Li Ang
[Current mental strength: 4 points, can be restored to maximum through rest and other means]
[Current maximum mental strength: 5 points, can be increased through meditation]
[Bound facility: Windrunner Canvas lv.0]
So that's how it is. The amount of mental energy the system consumes is actually equivalent to giving a simple rating of how much mental energy you have.
It seems that as long as he persists in meditation, he can raise the upper limit of his mental power, thereby upgrading the facility to a higher level.
After thinking about it, Li Ang decided not to bind it for now.
This ship is not his final destination, and even if he gains complete control of the entire ship, it doesn't necessarily mean he can escape from under the wizard's nose.
Turning our attention to the section on bound facilities, the only one currently bound, [Windwalker Canvas], stands out prominently.
【Fengxing Canvas: lv0】
[Current effect: Allows control over the gathering and dispersal of air within the ship's area, creating a wind elemental magical environment.]
[Level 1 Effect: Air gathering and dispersal ability +10%, wind element magic concentration in the environment +10%]
[Upgrade Requirements: 1 Magic Stars in the Spirit World, 5 Spirit Points consumed]
"Gathering and dispersing air?" Li Ang grasped the key point instantly.
Yes, he can control the direction of the ship with the function of the [Wind-blown Canvas], and of course he can also control the airflow inside and outside this narrow houseboat!
With a thought from Li Ang, the wind-blown canvas hanging on the thick mast immediately began to move.
However, this time the air that gathered no longer propelled the cabin air, but instead seeped into the lower levels through gaps in the deck and other areas of the ship, penetrating the room where Li Ang was located.
Soon, the air in the cramped room began to circulate.
The moldy and damp parts are automatically expelled outside by Li Ang through the action of the wind-blown canvas, leaving behind air with suitable humidity, freshness, and naturalness that is most suitable for breathing.
The original owner died from depression due to both physical and mental blows. Lung disease is not actually fatal, at least not in the short term.
Breathing in such clean and pleasant air, Li Ang felt that his lung disease was not as serious as before.
He decided not to waste any more time and instead followed the instructions of the basic meditation principles to enter meditation again.
Adjust your breathing rhythm, dive deep inward, build a spiritual core, and guide magic into your body...
The process was the same as before, but this time it went much smoother thanks to the clean air.
"Um?"
During the process of guiding magic into his body, Li Ang discovered some situations that were different from before.
The magic in this world has many different elemental types, and generally, when wizards meditate, they accept any type of free magic from nature without reservation.
However, right now, Li Ang suddenly discovered that although he was compatible with the Feng Shui elements, he could guide more Feng Shui and water element magic.
However, the wind element magic now flowing into the spiritual world is significantly more abundant and pronounced than before.
[Current effect: Allows control over the gathering and dispersal of air within the ship's range, creating a wind elemental magical environment]
Yes, in addition to controlling the air, the 【Wind-Riding Canvas】can also create a wind elemental magic environment due to its own "Wind Gathering Array" structure.
In other words, he is now bathed in the rich wind elemental magic environment created by the magic circle, and his meditation speed has been greatly increased!
Li Ang was overjoyed.
Just then, he was suddenly ejected from the mental world.
"ah"
His recent chaotic thoughts and joyful emotions affected his process of meditating and constructing star points, so he was ejected.
"Putting everything else aside, just being able to concentrate without distraction is not an easy thing to do..." Li Ang sighed.
Just then, a noisy commotion suddenly broke out outside the door.
Li Ang listened intently and heard news that someone had successfully constructed the first star through meditation, and that person was none other than Matthew!
Does this guy actually have a talent for this?
No wonder the supervising wizard clearly favored Matthew when he first boarded the ship; he had seen his talent!
