Chapter 52

 Old John repeated what Du Mingna said with uncertainty.

"All the acupoints on your body will tremble? And at the beginning, the acupoint where the elements flow through will start to pulsate, and as time goes on, the speed of the element flow becomes extremely fast, forming a complete elemental circulation in your body, causing almost all acupoints to pulsate simultaneously?" Du Mingna nodded.

"Yes.

During the pulsation of my acupoints, I also felt a tingling and swelling sensation around the pulsating acupoints, as if many small ants were crawling along the meridians.

At that time, the tingling made me want to stretch my body freely.

After I finished practicing and lay down, I still didn't feel comfortable enough." So he changed positions several times in a row.

But no matter how he changed, the feeling brought by the sleeping position was still not comfortable enough.

He even wanted to practice again immediately to feel the tingling sensation of the acupoints pulsating just now.

It was said to be tingling, but now thinking back, it was quite comfortable...

Du Mingna tried to make a few grasping movements again.

Old John stared at his hands, and the worry on his face slightly dissipated.

"Stronger." Not just becoming a magician.

Du Mingna's physical strength had increased slightly compared to before.

The progress was not very significant, but considering that Du Mingna had just completed his first formal practice...

Old John took a cold breath in his heart.

Is this the amazing talent of the young master, or is it the amazing practice method discovered by the young master?! He remembered something and asked again, "Young Master, have you decided on what magic circuit to build?" As soon as the words came out, Old John was slightly stunned.

Right.

Magic circuit? In normal magician practice, the core of the elements in the spiritual sea is used as the core to build the magic circuit.

Different magic circuits have different characteristics.

The magic circuits built in the lower ranks are more basic.

Some people who gave up climbing higher peaks of magic early on chose to solidify certain spell magic circuits for themselves in the early stages.

As their strength grew, the magic circuits became more stable, and they could cast corresponding spells with less magic consumption and achieve stronger effects.

Those who pursue higher ranks of magic will build a "basic" magic circuit in the lower ranks.

These are mentioned in the "Basics of Magic Practice" provided by Du Mingna.

The textbook also integrates the most basic magic circuits.

A beginner with enough potential who only follows this textbook for practice may become a third-rank magician with a good basic magic circuit in the spiritual sea.

It can be said that the textbook Du Mingna presented could make countless people in the capital fight for it.

There are various factions among magicians.

Different factions do not selflessly contribute their own organized practice knowledge.

Within the same faction, there are often their own specialized directions.

Only when the strength is large enough to make other practicing factions willingly contribute resources, or when they are capable of supporting a large number of magicians choosing different paths, can they summarize the most basic magic circuits.

This requires at least a kingdom-level power.

Oke and Batan have both signed contracts with Du Mingna, so it is not surprising that Du Mingna can produce such things.

There is a mysterious existence around Du Mingna that can directly contact them in their minds, making them completely unwilling to resist, and signing contracts related to the soul! What is so special about this mysterious existence producing this textbook? Old John is more convinced that Du Mingna is related to the relic of the magic goddess.

Perhaps only the mysterious and unpredictable relic of the magic goddess can summarize this level of magic circuit.

For this reason, the only thing Old John is worried about now is whether Du Mingna's practice method is different from what is written in the "Basics of Magic Practice" textbook!Is Du Mingna going to continue exploring his own cultivation method? Du Mingna was puzzled by Old John's question.

He muttered to himself.

"Mana circuit..." This can allow magicians to better absorb and use mana.

But for him, who has already opened up his meridians, is this really necessary? Moreover, there is no elemental core in his spiritual sea...

Wait! Du Mingna's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"Old John, do knights need to condense a blood core in the sea of blood using the power of blood?" There are various ways to condense.

However, the recognized and best blood core is shaped like a heart.

This pattern can make the blood core operate better.

Upgrading the blood core requires the condenser to build more "blood vessels" around the blood core with the power of blood, forming a better "blood supply." Some people do not know how to condense a blood core into the shape of a heart.

This condensation method is too difficult, requiring the condenser to perform more delicate operations in the sea of blood.

They will condense the blood core into a crystal core shape more easily.

Old John understood what Du Mingna wanted to do just by asking like this.

He nodded.

"Yes, young master, are you planning to condense a spiritual core in the spiritual sea?" No one has ever done this before.

Most magicians who can open the spiritual sea have basically condensed an elemental core, allowing spiritual power to deeply blend with the elements entering the body.

And the priests condense a faith core, also integrating spiritual power with the faith core.

Pure knights cannot open the spiritual sea.

"Yes." Du Mingna adjusted his sitting posture for cultivation, "I want to try.

Keep an eye on me, and if there's anything wrong, intervene promptly." Old John solemnly agreed.

"Yes." With Old John's level, he could easily interrupt Du Mingna's cultivation.

But this is Du Mingna's matter! Or rather, a major cultivation matter! How could it be easy? Du Mingna's attention was completely focused on his spiritual sea.

How to build a blood core in the sea of blood? No, although he thought of constructing a spiritual core referencing the blood core, what he learned the most before was how to build an elemental core in the spiritual sea, right? How to build an elemental core? Introduce the element into the body, and then continuously compress it...

Just as Du Mingna was thinking of "introducing the element into the body," a large number of elements immediately surged towards him from the outside.

Old John, who was closely monitoring Du Mingna's condition, widened his eyes like balls, and his spiritual power enveloped Du Mingna and the area around him.

He did not diffuse his spiritual power but compressed it as much as possible to cover the area.

This allowed him to better focus on the situation within the coverage area.

Whenever the elements around him moved, Old John followed suit.

His left hand, which he often used for casting spells, trembled several times, and he had to press his left hand with his right hand to control himself.

He was even more nervous than Du Mingna.

Meanwhile, Du Mingna, upon realizing that he had attracted more elemental light points in his spiritual sea, understood that his sudden thoughts had drawn these elements.

He dared not compress them in his spiritual sea anymore.

He had to guide these elements to circulate within the meridians he had already opened, and finally guide them back to the sea of qi.

Du Mingna's sea of qi was like a small balloon.

When elemental power entered, the balloon slightly expanded.

When elemental power flowed out, the balloon slightly contracted.

Between expansion and contraction, the internal airflow of the balloon contained more energy.

There were also many scattered elemental light points here.

Du Mingna was momentarily confused, then abruptly realized that he might have made a mistake in the first step.

He had been focusing on cultivating his meridians, so why was he not leaving his spiritual sea alone? It seems that he has been influenced by the existing cultivation system of this world.

Magicians must utilize the spiritual sea.

This is the golden rule that all magicians must remember.

But is it really so? After circulating through the meridians in his body once, he became a first-order mage recognized by the system.

However, at that time, he had not finished his training yet, and the system did not prompt him with a voice until after he had finished his training.

There was no objection to his mage identity, but his training method had already differed greatly from the original methods in this world.

Did he still need to follow the original ways? The spiritual core and such were temporarily not so important.

Du Mingna focused his thoughts on the sea of qi.

He wanted to try to directly draw external elements into it! Come on! With just a thought, Du Mingna felt countless elements turning into torrents and continuously rushing towards him.

The number of elements that came instantly was too many! He was just a first-order mage who had just started training! Du Mingna gritted his teeth, constantly using his mental power to control these elemental points.

He didn't believe he couldn't do it.

When he trained before, he had endured elemental impacts many times.

His mental power was strong enough to control the strengthened elemental torrents in the sea of qi and meridians.

So, continue, continue! Beside Du Mingna, Old John unconsciously began moving his left fingers.

This was the entry-level "silent casting," "hand gesture casting," also known as "seal casting." Beginners often needed props to assist in casting spells, and they must also chant spells.

Advanced practitioners used hand gestures for casting, as well as silent reading casting and mental casting.

By the time of mental casting, it was almost like instant spell casting.

Old John was an assassin who usually had to disguise himself as a common servant, and he was most accustomed to silent casting.

Seeing this elemental torrent now, he wanted to interrupt Du Mingna's training.

Could a first-order mage really cause such a commotion? Third-order...

no, at least it would take promotion to the fourth order to have a slight possibility, right? Even if it was promotion from the sixth to the seventh order, someone might believe it! If Old John couldn't perceive Du Mingna's vigorous vitality and know that Du Mingna's overall condition was indeed fine, he would really lose control of himself.

Just then, the stone room door made a sound.

Old John glanced deeply at Du Mingna, confirmed once again that Du Mingna was fine, and then walked outside the stone room.

He knew it was Oak who had come.

Oak knew how to open the door and was now entering the room.

Sure enough, standing by the open stone room door was Oak, holding a light ball condensed from firefly magic in his hand.

Seeing Old John coming out of Du Mingna's room, Oak quickly asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with him? Is he okay? Can I go check on him?" He had hurried over when he sensed the abnormal elements while planting trees.

There was still dirt on his hands and feet from planting trees.

Old John also lowered his voice.

"There shouldn't be anything wrong.

But it's good for you to go check.

Be careful, the young master's training should not be disturbed, right?" The two spoke in voices quieter than a mosquito's buzz.

Oak took a deep breath, nodded solemnly, and then cautiously walked towards Du Mingna's room.

The elemental torrent had stopped, but there were still a large number of elements surrounding Du Mingna, waiting for him to absorb them.
