Chapter 6 First Cultivation
Night had fallen. Ling Tianyu quietly opened the door, entered his room, and sat cross-legged on the bed.
Close your eyes and immerse yourself in the spiritual world, where you can see shimmering emerald green stardust and seven tiny stars that are active.
The nine-year compulsory education textbooks explain that magic release involves three steps: First, meditation, which increases mental strength and magical energy, and enhances cultivation. Second, control, which connects to celestial particles in a specific way to form a magical pathway. Finally, the third step is release, which guides magical energy to the outside of the body to release the magic.
The beginner level is called [Stardust], the intermediate level is called [Nebula], and the advanced level is called [Galaxy]. When you break through a stage, the number of star points will increase sevenfold, and the magical energy reserves will increase greatly. Therefore, you will have the foundation to master more powerful magic. However, correspondingly, it will become more difficult to cast spells. The beginner level connects seven star points to star orbits, while the intermediate level requires connecting seven star orbits to draw a star map, which is 49 star points.
First, meditate and cultivate your mental strength. Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting work. Once your mental strength is strong enough, then practice controlling it.
Without a high school teacher to guide his cultivation, Ling Tianyu is figuring everything out as he goes, learning by trial and error based on his own knowledge. Meditation involves shutting out the clutter and noise of the outside world, entering a state of clarity similar to a meditating monk, where one can see their awakened magical stardust. In this state, the stardust absorbs diffused magical elements from the outside world to replenish itself, and upon reaching a certain point, it can break through to the next level.
Ordinary people can meditate for five hours a day, but they can only control the time for one hour. Mo Fan's situation is special. He was born with dual systems, and his soul power is twice that of ordinary people, so his cultivation time is naturally doubled.
Ling Tianyu's situation is similar to Mo Fan's, so his cultivation time should be about the same.
Ten hours later, Ling Tianyu's mind began to throb with pain, making it difficult to maintain his meditative state. However, a sudden change occurred. In an instant, the small Qilin pendant on his chest shone brightly, and a warm current surged into his spiritual sea, like a mother's gentle caress, stabilizing Ling Tianyu's faltering spiritual body.
"This is..." Ling Tianyu was overjoyed. He hadn't expected that his little Qilin pendant would start at a level comparable to a Stardust Magic Artifact, which was much better than Mo Fan's lifeless little mudfish.
A mortal-level Stardust artifact can shorten a mage's fatigue period by 20%, while a spirit-level Stardust artifact can shorten it by 40%. Currently, the little Qilin's level should only be mortal, which means it can meditate for half a day each day. Moreover, if Ling Tianyu is not mistaken, the little Qilin can also increase its level by consuming natural treasures or essences such as the Earthly Sacred Spring. Over time, its improvement will be absolutely astonishing!
"Alright! Let's try to take control next!" Ling Tianyu excitedly rubbed his hands together. Ming Xiu was just watching, supervising Xingchen's growth like a parent watching a child. It was too boring. He finally had a chance to take the lead himself, so he couldn't help but be excited.
"If I'm not mistaken, my control time should also be two hours. I just wonder if the Stardust Magic Artifact provides a bonus to control time?"
As it turns out, there really wasn't! It seems that the Stardust Artifact Master, in order to expedite the process of gaining control, still needs to control the artifact's actions.
Among the plant-type stardust, the seven emerald green stars were not as fiery and intense as those of the lightning and fire magic types. Instead, they floated peacefully in the stardust, looking rather easy to bully, ptooey! They were easy to control.
Ling Tianyu diverted a wisp of his spiritual power to probe the quietest star among them, but before he could even touch it, it flew away like a little girl seeing a strange uncle.
"good!"
The second star ignored him completely.
"obedient!"
Seeing that the third star seemed to be wavering, Ling Tianyu approached with great joy, only to find it was just a ploy to lure him in.
…………
"Damn! These little stars look like quiet, well-behaved girls, but when they run, it's like they've been injected with hundreds of kilograms of adrenaline!"
Two hours passed quickly, and Ling Tianyu hadn't managed to control even a single star. He was disheartened...
"That's normal!" Ling Tianyu comforted himself. "An ordinary mage is considered excellent if they master magic in a year. Didn't Mu Ningxue take eight months to develop her innate spiritual seed?"
It takes time to get to know each other, and the most important thing is for all the Stars to acknowledge that I am the leader.
