Arcane Journey

Chapter 365 Medium Legendary

The starry sky is vast, boundless, dotted with stars, endless.

Brian felt his soul again, as if he had touched the unreal stars.

In an instant, his mental strength was like a string being plucked, shaking violently, driving his soul to vibrate accordingly.

Sensing this situation, Brian was overjoyed, and immediately extended his mental power, stabilizing those mental power lines that fluctuated so much that they were almost disconnected.

In this way, as he extended and manipulated these threads of spiritual power, they were gradually dyed with a layer of bright starlight, and gradually stabilized.

At the same time, Brian obviously felt his soul shake, and there was a reflection of a star inside.

And those threads of mental power connected to the reflections of the stars, like starlight, seem to be greedily absorbing a special kind of energy from the vast, starry void, to grow and nourish the reflections of the stars in the soul.

Gradually, with the absorption of energy, Brian discovered that in addition to the psychic energy necessary for psionic professionals, the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire linger in the reflection of this star.

Just as he imagined, these energies are perfectly integrated, tirelessly tempering the strength of his soul and spiritual power.

And the reflection of the star that appeared in his soul is also slowly changing towards a solid direction at an imperceptible speed.

In addition, Brian also discovered his spiritual power. In this void-like world, he saw a starry sky, which was dark and bright. There is an invisible force hanging down to the ground, and the earth also exudes a thick and steady attraction.

After an unknown amount of time, when Brian felt a sense of fullness in his soul and spiritual power, he stopped this meditation and slowly opened his eyes.

"Sure enough." He sat on the chair, staring at the teardrop-shaped 'Tears of the King' in his palm and murmured to himself: "The reflection of the starry sky transformed into the depths of the soul by pure spiritual power is indeed an element of connection. World, this also explains why the ancient star elves can enhance their spiritual power through star meditation, making it easier to cast magic."

When exploring the treasures of the star elves, the first thing he thought of was their meditation ideas.

Due to the convenience brought by the magic net to the group of spellcasters, the spellcasters of Kingdom Tianyu did not conduct too in-depth research on the method of meditation.

Because the function of the magic net itself is like a plug-in that assists the caster to release spells, they only need to learn how to perceive and contact the magic net through their own mental power.

When the spellcaster successfully establishes a link with the magic net with his spiritual power during the long meditation, it means that he has obtained the most basic spellcasting authority, and then gradually unlocks the spells of the first to ninth rings.

This kind of operation, as long as the intelligence attribute is sufficient, can help them complete this operation only through the simplest meditation method.

This also means that no matter how fancy and powerful the meditation method is, it will have little effect on the group of spellcasters who release spells with the help of the magic net.

After all, the magic net is controlled by Mystra, the goddess of magic. The strict levels and rules make it impossible for spellcasters to obtain more spell slots or leapfrog spells by studying meditation ideas. Naturally, they will not research and create new ones. meditation method.

But the elves belong to the interstellar immigrants. Before the Toril world was created, the elf civilization flourished in a certain crystal wall system.

When the elves immigrated to the world of Toril and discovered the convenience brought by the magic net, they gradually gave up the idea of ​​meditation and used the magic net, a more powerful spell-casting auxiliary tool.

And Brian's set of star meditation methods is the meditation method that they have passed down from the star elves in the library that has been passed down for dozens of centuries.

After all, his spellcasting method does not rely on the magic net, nor does he perceive the magic net invisible, and he also has a part-time job in a psionic profession that is directly linked to spiritual energy.

Therefore, he thought that he might be able to improve his mental strength through meditation.

Just as he expected, after he practiced the star elf's meditation on the stars, he obviously felt his mental strength increase.

Not only that, but what surprised Brian even more was that when he was practicing this set of star meditation, there was a tendency to merge with the state of mind that Helisite had helped him to open up.

It was also for this reason that he realized that he had never made any progress in the state of mind, and that as he practiced star meditation day and night, a slight improvement began to appear.

What is the state of mind?
The so-called state of mind plane, in simple terms, is the spiritual structure that connects the individual's mind and body. It exists in the depths of everyone's mind, similar to a kingdom where spirit and dreams are combined.

Everyone has their own state of mind plane, as long as they find the right method, they can successfully open it and tap the potential power.

After Helliste helped him open the mind plane, Brian obtained the ability to combine arcane and psionic powers, allowing him to use the two powers of psionic and arcane powers more skillfully in battle.

For example, the arcane storm and tornado storm he often uses, if he doesn't have the special ability brought by the state of mind, it is impossible for these two forces to fuse together, and the powerful effect of one plus one is far greater than two.

Even at the moment of release, due to the conflict between the energies on the spot, a violent explosion will occur, and it will hurt itself first.

This is the power of the mind plane.

Helliste also told him that when the layers of the mind plane are opened to a certain extent, it is possible to materialize into a real creation.

This sentence sounds obviously a bit unbelievable.

But when Brian was practicing star meditation, he did feel from the reflection of the star deep in his soul that it might really become a real star, or the real world.

Now, through the meditation method of the ancient star elves, he has found a way to improve the state of mind. This is indeed a surprise, allowing him to find a new way to improve his strength besides relying on experience points .

Brian believed that as long as he worked tirelessly to practice this set of star meditation ideas, his strength would likely reach a height that was different from that of the entire country Tianyu.

As for when it will reach this level, Brian can only show a helpless smile.

Since he arranged many matters for the construction of the floating city, the world outside the beholder half-plane has changed from warm spring to scorching summer, and a year has passed on the half-plane.

In other words, in order to stabilize his strength, Brian has been in the demiplane for more than a year.

And this year, the effect brought about by his practice of star meditation day and night, except for making the reflection of the stars in the depths of his soul more solid, did not produce any conspicuous changes.

If he continues to practice at this speed, the time it will take for Brian to reach a new level of strength will probably need to be calculated in units of at least a hundred years.

Fortunately, he is not a person who only accepts death, and he will not decide on one thing, so he will do it desperately.

Brian has noticed the slow progress of this set of meditation methods in nearly half a month of practicing star meditation.

After many attempts, he asked the Fungus King of the Dark Forest to help him develop a magic potion that can stimulate the spirit.

Thinking of this, Brian flipped his palm, and the five bottles emitted a faint green light, and only a thumb-sized potion appeared in his hand.

These five bottles of potions were developed by him with the help of the Mushroom King.

The main material for making these magic potions is the green brown toadstool.

The green brown agaric mushrooms look like worn striped umbrellas, standing only 3 cm high, they are dark green in color, with dark brown protrusions on the stalks, and they are 8 to 12 cm in diameter. Irregular plaques grow in groups, belonging to a very rare fungus in the Underdark.

In the Underdark, the green brown agaric is often used to make alcoholic beverages.

When they are mature, they are sealed in wooden barrels and die.

The brown 'bump' is actually a parasitic fungus that feeds on the fungus itself, eating the fungus and forming a drinkable fermented liquid.

If allowed to ferment long enough, the liquid becomes so potent that a cup of it requires the drinker to make a saving throw against the poison or fall unconscious for 1 to 3 hours.

In the end, there is still a 40% chance of falling into a state of brain death under the strong stimulation of the liquid.

Of course, this is limited to ordinary professionals, and someone like Bryan whose strength has reached the legendary realm will naturally not be hurt by this.

It is said that the duergar, who are somewhat resistant to this effect, will often provoke non-dwarves to drink with them a large beer mug of the liquid of the urmistriped green brown agaric, just to test their resolve, and if the outsider is drunk Turn it over, it will make the gray dwarves laugh to their heart's content.

After adjusting his mental state, Brian spent a day and a night through star meditation to restore his mental power to its peak state.

Without any hesitation, he unscrewed the bottle stopper of the magic potion, poured bottle after bottle into his mouth like drinking water, swallowed it, and quickly entered a meditative state.

All of a sudden, countless irritating tastes, such as sourness, bitterness, and spicy taste, rolled violently in Brian's mouth and throat, causing his stomach to twitch violently, and he almost vomited, but a strange coldness wrapped his mental power, making him It becomes more and more stable.

After relieving the taste, Brian closed his eyes and soon fell into a meditative state.

Presented in front of his eyes are still phantoms of stars floating in the depths of his soul, and together with the four elements from the inner plane, they construct a complete meditation environment.

But different from the previous meditations, this time Brian clearly felt that his consciousness seemed to be separated from his soul, and he was calmly directing.

In a trance, he seemed to feel endless light blooming in his body, allowing Brian to see his soul for the first time from an onlooker's perspective while meditating, the transparent and faintly shining soul, which looked as if With the reflection of the stars.

Looking at his own soul, Brian, who had nothing to do, thought for a moment, and suddenly, with a calm and almost cold attitude, he drove his spiritual power, trying to build a spell model that he had not yet completed in his soul.

Immediately afterwards, the fluctuation of mental power caused the vibration of the soul, and transparent and almost illusory lines were condensed, and began to build a three-dimensional and complex spell model in a precise way.

For the construction of the spell model, the requirement is that the size of each angle, the length of each line, and the angle of the space must be accurate.

It seems that it can only be done by mastering the profound mathematical knowledge and the principle of spell construction.

In just a moment, Brian was surprised to find that the spell model of the legendary spell "Advanced Time Stop", which he had spent nearly a year and had not completely completed, was analyzed very thoroughly by him in this calm state .

This feeling is as if I have tried to simulate the structure many times, whether it is line data or the relationship between spatial positions, I have long memorized it by heart.

In this way, Brian's mental power vibrated frequently like strings, bringing about qualitative changes in the soul, and bright starlight lines emerged one by one, beginning to form a rather complicated three-dimensional spell model.

As the 'lines' on the spell model appeared and connected one by one, Brian compared the knowledge of legendary spells and sensed that they did not produce any signs of failure such as confusion or collapse.

Time just passed by minute by minute.

When Brian's consciousness gradually became unstable, he finally completed the spell model of the legendary spell "Advanced Time Stop" and stored it in the Austrian Fire. It looks like a transparent structure made up of many straight lines. of small pyramids.

During the entire construction process, there were not even any mistakes.

Brian slowly opened his eyes. He seemed to be just looking at the surrounding environment, but he seemed to feel that the reflections of the stars in the depths of his soul had become denser and more stable as he meditated, and even faint starlight was flowing. It seemed that there had been some kind of qualitative change that even he couldn't make it clear.

At the same time, Brian also felt that his soul and spiritual power were stronger than ever.

As long as he wants, he can immediately use the metamagic feat to instantly cast any spell below the sixth ring without any negative state of soul tremor.

"The legendary spell "Advanced Time Stop" can be mastered so quickly, of course it is related to the research and study that I have spent nearly a year. "Seeing the legendary spell he mastered, Brian muttered to himself, "But the mysterious state just now obviously also contributed a lot. "

He subconsciously looked at the magic clock in the study, and suddenly realized that about a month had passed before he knew it.

The passage of time made Brian a little unbelievable, and he secretly rejoiced that whenever he was going to retreat to study magic, in order to prevent hunger from affecting his research, he would take a magic potion with an effect similar to 'bigu' in advance.

Although this attempt did not allow the state of mind to break through to the second level, Brian has already found a way to improve quickly.

Seeing that the legendary spell has been mastered, he moved his gaze to the attribute bar, preparing to raise the strength of the great arcanist to a medium legendary in one fell swoop.
