Chapter 192 The Secret of the Cultivation Method (Two in One)
As soon as he left the committee, Gothe went straight to the college library.
The college library is not open all day, it is only open from 9 am to 8 pm.
Especially the old mage who guards the second floor. He is quite old. It is good if he does not arrive late and leave early. "Working overtime" is impossible.
Go to the second floor of the library and meet the old mage for the fourth time.
As soon as Gothe came in, the old mage put down the tea cup in his hand and asked strangely: "What's going on this time?"
It's impossible that he's here to buy the spell formula again.
Gaode smiled shyly, "I was successfully promoted to a first-level mage today. Let's take a look at the practice method of an official mage."
Apprentice Guidance and Apprentice Meditation are only applicable to the mage apprenticeship stage. Once you become an official mage, you need to change your practice method.
The old mage glanced at Gothe in surprise, "I didn't expect your talent to be quite good."
"It's okay, not bad." Gothe was too embarrassed to deny it directly, that was too "bitch".
"Take a look at it yourself first."
The old mage took out a book from the stack of books on the table and threw it to Gothe.
Then he leisurely picked up the tea cup and sipped it: "All the relevant introductions to the practice methods recorded in the academy are on it, including the specific levels, effects, as well as practice conditions and the credits required for redemption."
"If you don't understand anything, just ask me directly. I should be able to answer most of your questions."
Gaode hurriedly took the book and opened it to check.
The practice method is also divided into levels, but it is not as detailed as what he saw in the novel in his previous life. It is divided into four major levels: "Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang", and each major level is divided into four smaller levels: lower grade, middle grade, upper grade, and top grade.
The practice methods here are just like spells. They are only divided into two levels: "common practice methods" and "rare practice methods".
Gaode opened the book.
The first ones recorded are common practice methods.
【Original Secret Technique】(ordinary practice method): Practicing this technique can improve the performance of the mage's spells in animal taming, movement, intimidation, and natural directions;
In addition, depending on your mage level, you can gradually gain abilities such as "Danger Perception", "Additional Spellcasting", "Fast Movement", "Wild Intuition", "Mental Tenacity", etc.;
You need to take animal blood during the practice of this technique
25 credits are required to exchange.
[Secret Technique of Weaving Sound] (ordinary practice method): Practicing this technique can improve the performance of the mage's spells in the direction of sound, hypnosis, and charm;
In addition, depending on the level of the mage, you can gradually gain abilities such as "quick recovery", "combat motivation", and "exploring others";
This practice requires the mage to have a sufficient understanding of music.
The credits required for redemption are 25.

25 credits required for redemption
After casually browsing through the introduction of several practice methods, a lot of questions have emerged in Gothe's mind.
This is the tragedy of being born as a commoner. You only find out that you don’t understand many things until you encounter them.
"When you are an apprentice, you need to practice guidance and meditation separately. How come after you become a first-level mage, there is only one single practice method left?"
This is his first question.
"Because after becoming an official mage, meditation can no longer improve mental strength."
Gothe's problem is a very common one. The old mage explained unhurriedly: "It's like the training of army soldiers. In the early stage, it can be improved through some basic training. Strength, but once the strength reaches a certain level, those basic trainings will no longer have any effect."
"From the first level of the mage, most of the improvement in our spiritual power comes from the soul sublimation brought about by the breakthrough of the mage level, as well as certain special expertise or the incidental abilities of the practice method."
“So, the official mage no longer distinguishes between meditation and guidance, there is only one practice method.”
"Is there no difference between the strength and weakness of ordinary cultivation methods?"
"Also, is the rare cultivation method definitely stronger than the ordinary cultivation method?" Gothe asked again.
These two questions are still the most frequently asked by most civilian mages who are new to the practice of law. The old mages are not surprised at all.
"First of all, the first question is that there is no obvious difference between the strength and weakness of ordinary practice methods, but for individual masters, there is a difference."
"Different practice methods essentially develop in different directions."
"For example, a mage who has awakened the expertise of taming animals and practices [Original Secret Art], combined with powerful forces, will definitely be stronger than practicing [Secret Art of Weaving Sound]."
"For him, [ "Original Secret Technique" is stronger than "Sound Weaver Secret Technique" "But only for him, because if there is another mage who is good at hypnosis, then for him, it must be [Weaver Sound Technique]. Secret Technique] is stronger"
"That's it, the one that suits you is the best."
"As for the second question," the old mage thought for a while before giving the answer. Case: "Yes and no."
"How do you say that?" Gothe frowned slightly. In the usual sense, "rare" must be stronger than "common". This "yes and no" confused Gothe.
“Rare practices are not always more powerful than ordinary practices, but rare practices must have unique characteristics and abilities that are difficult to find in ordinary practices.”
“From this perspective, rare practices are indeed more powerful than ordinary practices.”
“But equally, rare practices are The training conditions required to practice the law are also often quite harsh. "
"If you cannot meet these conditions, you will have to choose a rare practice method, which is not even as powerful as the ordinary practice method."
"The ordinary practice method is applicable to any mage in most cases, and there will not be too many thresholds and fitness requirements."
It’s like choosing a major. Isn’t the upper limit for finance majors high? But my family doesn’t have any background, and it’s difficult to find a job after four years of study. It’s better to go into a job and learn a specific skill. The same goes for choosing a spiritual practice.
Gothe instantly understood the difference between ordinary practice methods and rare practice methods.
As he turned to the end of the book, ready to see if there was a rare practice method suitable for him, he asked again:
"If I choose a practice method now, I will encounter it again in the future. If a more powerful practice method is suitable for me, can I just give up the ability of the original practice method and practice a new practice method? Or can I only continue to stick to the original practice method? "
This is the question that Gao De just thought of.
What is often seen in novels is that the protagonist always obtains the most powerful practice skills at the beginning for various reasons, so he never has to worry about these problems.
But his current situation is that he can only choose from the practice methods collected by Seris Academy.
Although Seres Academy is already the best mage college in the Principality of Xi'an, Gothe, who has studied geography, understands that the Principality of Xi'an is actually just a very inconspicuous small principality on the Norland continent.
It is conceivable that there is definitely no very powerful cultivation technique hidden in Siris Academy.
And he believed that he could not stay in the Principality of Xien all his life.
When the level of the mage reaches a higher level in the future, after leaving the Principality of Xi'en, there will definitely be better opportunities to encounter more advanced methods of practice. Is it possible to give up at that time?
"What are you thinking about?" Unexpectedly, as soon as he heard this question, the old mage looked at Gothe with a strange look like a "savage".
shaping ’ ï ââ——- “The so-called practice method, is equivalent to a special exercise method.†“The exercise method in a general sense trains physical fitness, and the practice method has practiced magic power. â€
… "Then let me ask you, you originally used a relatively simple exercise method to exercise, but later you got advice from others and learned about a more efficient exercise method.
And immediately switched to this advanced exercise method, will the physical fitness you originally developed through simple exercise methods be wasted because you abandoned the old exercise method? "
"Not really." Gaode said embarrassedly.
The old master used a very vivid metaphor to make Gaode instantly understand the principle of changing the practice method.
"Of course, changing the practice method will not dissipate the magic power you have cultivated, but the abilities obtained through the old practice method will disappear."
"However, if you are reluctant to give up the ability of the original practice method and are greedy enough, you can choose to practice both methods at the same time."
“It’s still the analogy of exercise methods. One exercise method focuses on improving strength, and another exercise method focuses on improving agility. The abilities improved by these two methods belong to different fields.” You can improve your strength and your agility at the same time."
"The same is true for practice methods."
"Then the more practice methods a person practices at the same time, the stronger it will be?" Gao De wondered.
"No," the old mage said flatly: "Practice multiple practices at the same time, which can indeed allow the mage to obtain different abilities, improve the performance of spells in multiple directions, and even combine different abilities to create a powerful synergistic effect."
But the disadvantages are also obvious. "
“Ignore the additional resources required for each practice method, let’s just talk about the progress of practice”
h “Due to the limitation of mental power, your daily practice time is limited. This will cause the time allocated to each practice method to be greatly reduced. "
"This will cause the master's progress in each practice method to be slower than that of other masters who only practice one practice method."
"And the ability to practice the law often gets stronger as time goes by."
"A mage who practices two methods of practice while distracted has a high probability of being stronger in combat than a mage of the same level.
But there is a high probability that he will not be able to compete with a mage who starts practicing at the same time and only chooses one method of practice."
"The reason is also very simple. You have practiced two practices, and both practices have reached the late stage of the first level. Naturally, you are stronger than a late stage mage who only practices one practice." I can easily overwhelm you with my mage level. "
"Moreover, increasing the mage level is a very time-consuming thing."
"Choose multiple practices. Although you gain more abilities, you also waste double the time. It is very likely that you will not be able to level up before your lifespan is exhausted."
"So, first choose a practice method that is most suitable for you at the moment. If you encounter an advanced practice method that is more suitable for you in the future, you can directly abandon the old practice method as a qualification for the new practice method and exchange it for the level of the new practice method. This is the normal route suitable for most mages."
"I understand." Gothe said seriously.
As he spoke, he had already turned to the last few pages of the book, where he introduced rare practices.
The number is not large, there are only six rare cultivation methods in total.
【Golden Light Holy Light Technique】(rare practice method): Practicing this technique can improve the performance of the mage's spells in the direction of radiance, healing, fire, persuasion, and intimidation. It can also improve the mage's necromantic-related spell resistance. It can cause the magic spells cast by the mage to cause additional damage to evil spirits and undead creatures. It can also improve the mage's resistance to charm and hypnosis. and other psychic spell resistance;
In addition, depending on one's mage level, one can gradually acquire abilities such as "Holy Perception", "Guardian Aura", etc.;
This art practice is only for men, and one needs to keep oneself pure; this art practice must be carried out under daylight conditions.
50 credits required for redemption.

After browsing through the first rare practice method that caught his eye, Gaode discovered how powerful the rare practice method was compared to the ordinary practice method.
—Rare cultivation methods can bring a much greater increase to the mage than ordinary cultivation methods.

【Dragon Breath Breathing】(rare practice): Practicing this technique can increase the total amount of mana and the recovery speed of the mage...

abacred uceatchGum _ to be rare practice methods.
For example, [Golden Sun Holy Light Technique], I am indeed still a "pure body", meeting the conditions for practice, and the abilities it can bring are indeed more powerful than ordinary practice methods.
The question is, what about the future?
Who can guarantee what will happen in the future?
Putting a yoke on himself in advance is something he would not dare to do.
Thinking like this, Gothe has turned to the last page of the book.
A particularly eye-catching name with a painting style that was completely different from the previous ones instantly attracted Gothe's attention.
【Greenwood Sutra of Immortality】!
What kind of intrusion is this? ! This was Gaode's first reaction.
This classical name, which usually only appears in novels about cultivating immortals, made him instantly confused.
With curiosity and complaints, Gaode continued to look down.
[Aoki Immortality Sutra] (rare practice method): Practicing this method can improve the performance of the mage's spells in the fields of animal taming, treatment, nature, perception, and plants. It can increase the mage's lifespan, increase the mage's practice speed, and additionally increase the mage's mental power.
In addition, depending on your mage level, you can gradually gain abilities such as "Immortal Body", "Earth Walker", "Natural Recovery", "Nature's Word", and "Nature's Protection".
To practice this method, you need to choose a specific plant as a holy object in order to increase your lifespan through the plant. Once the holy object dies, all the increased lifespan will be dissipated;
The required credits for redemption are 25.
