Chapter 88: Extinct Materials
"The Notes of Aum."
Li He slowly read out the words on the book, thinking deeply about what had just happened.
Is it a mental strength test... He made a guess, and he had seen it in the content provided by the "Book of Destiny". Some of the more precious books will be equipped with this mental power identification spell to screen readers.
Only readers who pass the appraisal can read the real content, otherwise they will see a blank or false content.
"Then what follows should be true..." Li He murmured, turning to the next page, and densely packed text appeared.
He was shocked and read on carefully.
For a moment, he quickly browsed the entire book with a thoughtful expression on his face.
The entire "Aum Codex" is not as messy as the content of the "Book of Destiny". The recorded text is very specific, that is, the meditation method.
According to the introduction in the book, the only bridge for ordinary people to become wizard apprentices and then wizards is meditation.
Only by successfully meditating, constantly exercising your mental strength, and breaking through every limit can you master the power of a wizard and become a powerful being.
To put it simply, if we quantify mental strength, the mental strength of an ordinary person is about 5. If you are naturally smart and talented, your mental strength can reach 6 or 7 points.
As for those who can reach 8 or even 9 points, they are already one in a thousand or even one in ten thousand. They are excellent candidates to become wizard apprentices, but they are only candidates.
An ordinary person who wants to become a wizard apprentice needs to walk a long and difficult road.
First of all, the first threshold is 10 points of mental strength. Only by raising it to 10 points through meditation can you barely get started.
On this basis, through constant meditation and accumulation, and by raising the spiritual power to 15 points through hard work, one can be regarded as the lowest first-level wizard apprentice and have the qualifications to master extraordinary magic power.
"Can you become a wizard's apprentice through meditation..." Li He whispered.
According to the introduction in the book, meditation is not simple, especially for ordinary people who meditate for the first time.
Without guidance, just relying on personal exploration, it is likely that you will not be able to complete it in your lifetime.
And even if there is guidance, you must rely on some external auxiliary casting materials to achieve success.
The book proposes three kinds of spell-casting materials that can be used for assistance.
The first one is snake blood petals, which requires all petals of at least five snake blood flowers, dried and ground into powder to be swallowed.
The second type is stone fox brain. You need to use at least 20 grams of adult stone fox brain mixed with white radish flower juice and apply it on the eyebrows.
The third type is ecstasy fish blood, which requires 15 ml of ecstasy fish blood, dilute it three times with spirits and then swallow it.
"Snake blood petals, stone fox brains, Baiduola flowers, and the blood of the ecstasy fish?" Li He turned his head slightly and looked at the iron shelf in the corner, where the preserved ecstasy fish blood was placed.
He has been raising the ecstasy fish since he got it from the Countess of Blood. The fish's vitality is relatively strong and it has been living tenaciously so far, providing him with a large amount of blood for research.
If he needs something else for meditation, he is really in trouble. If he needs the blood of the ecstasy fish, it is just right.
"Not bad..."
...
in the morning.
Duncans residence, study.
Duncans carefully took down a gray stone box from the bookshelf, placed it on the table, and turned to look at the old butler Balin standing next to him.
"Dina is back?"
"Back, sir."
"Tell her that you won't let her go out for the time being?"
"Yes, but Miss Dana is not satisfied."
"Then you are not satisfied." Duncans was angry. He said in a loud voice, "She's grown up and is still so wild. She doesn't look like a girl at all, so it's time to calm down. Keep an eye on her these days and don't let her run around." "Yes
. "
By the way, Mr. Li He, the distinguished guest of our school, has he come to see me today?" "
Well... I don't think so." Bahrain answered truthfully.
Duncans pursed his lips and said thoughtfully: "It seems that the progress on his side is not that fast yet... Then just wait for him. Remember, whenever he comes to come, notify me immediately." "Yes.
" Balin responded, hesitated and asked, "But what if Mr. Li He doesn't come?"
"Not coming?" Duncans smiled slightly, shook his head lightly and said, "No, there's no way he won't come. Can you understand?" The book I gave him is only the first step, and the second step cannot be completed without my help... After all, I have all the snake blood flowers that can be collected in Lensa..." As he spoke,
Duncan Si opened the gray stone box on the table and saw that it was filled with dried blood-red snake blood petals.
After taking a look, he closed the stone box and put it back on the bookshelf. Duncans' eyes flashed slightly and he continued: "Stone foxes, white flowers, and ecstasy fish are all extinct in this continent. The only ones that can be found are Snake-blood flowers. The number of snake-blood flowers is also very small. Basically, I have collected them. I only have them here. When the
other party searches the whole city and cannot find enough casting materials for meditation, they can only Come to me again, and I can talk to him about what he has to pay... After all, no matter in the wizarding world, it is always about equal exchange..." The smile on Duncans's face grew stronger, and
then Thinking of something, his eyes sank slightly, and he added: "Unless the other party can't even read the book, and can't even access the real content... In that case, even if I'm wrong about the person... there's no need. Thinking about the next thing... However, from my perspective, the probability of seeing the wrong person is extremely small..."

Blackstone Castle.
In the main study room.
Li He held a test tube, which contained light blue ecstasy fish blood.
He was watching and thinking.
"The Notes of Aum" says that 15 ml of ecstasy fish blood diluted three times with spirits and swallowed can help ordinary people complete their first meditation.
But it did not explain clearly the concentration and type of spirits, nor did it explain whether the blood of the ecstasy fish was freshly drawn or purified.
Logically speaking, the recorded content is so rough that it should be applicable to a relatively wide range. Therefore, no matter what state of ecstasy fish blood it is, no matter what concentration and type of spirits it is, it can help ordinary people achieve a meditative state.
However, this is not scientific.
As a scientific researcher, especially if he wants to use it on himself, Li He feels that it is better to be more precise and clear.
Using this formula to help meditate, which component in the blood of the ecstasy fish is effective? If the specific concentration and type of spirits are not considered, does it only require the alcohol in them to work? So, is it better to use alcohol with a purity of more than 99%, or alcohol with a concentration of 75%?
Speaking of which, alcohol is actually ethanol, an alcoholic organic compound. Can other alcohols be used instead to achieve similar or even better effects?
Li He kept thinking.
