Chapter 191 Changes in the Second Ring
Luo Lin stood up, stretched his limbs, and adapted to the stronger body and mind.
Push open the door to the quiet room and return to the small house on the ground.
Ellie was watering the magical plants in the yard when she heard the noise and turned around. She was clearly stunned when she saw Rolin.
Mr. Luo Lin before me seemed no different from before his seclusion, but his temperament had become more composed and reserved, like a deep pool, calm on the surface but containing immeasurable power within.
Moreover, the natural and peaceful aura emanating from him made the surrounding magical plants appear even more vibrant.
"Mr. Rowling, you... succeeded?" Ellie asked uncertainly. She could sense the change in Rowling, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"Yes, it worked." Luo Lin nodded, his tone calm.
Ellie's face immediately lit up with a joyful smile: "That's wonderful! Congratulations, Mr. Rowling!"
Luo Lin walked to the Moon Silver Flower and sensed it.
After his advancement, his perception became more acute, allowing him to see more clearly every detail of the Moonflower's energy structure, as well as the more stable and fluid symbiotic spiritual connection between it and Ellie.
The connection seems to have absorbed some of the characteristics of [Quiet Dust Star], becoming more stable.
"You and Yue Yinhua are doing very well," Luo Lin commented.
"The symbiotic system is evolving in a positive direction."
"After my promotion, I might be able to help you further optimize some details, but don't rush, first consolidate your current situation."
Ellie nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with anticipation for the future.
For Rowling, advancing to the second ring was not just a leap in strength, but also meant that he had entered a new stage on his path as a wizard.
With the blessing of [Quiet Dust Star], many researches that were previously difficult to conduct in depth due to limitations in mental strength and control precision can now be put on the agenda.
His first thought was about the collapse of order.
The theoretical model has long been perfected, but due to limitations in the precision and stability of the mental energy of the first link, we have not dared to carry out a complete construction and physical testing.
Now, it's time to truly create this dangerous and powerful spell.
Furthermore, with the enhanced mental strength and information processing advantages of [Quiet Dust Star], the study of the Civilization Stele may be able to trigger and interpret deeper information.
Of course, there are also new mysteries brought about by those mysterious non-human visitors.
After being promoted to the second ring road, he also had more confidence to face the unknown challenges that might come.
However, there's no rush for any of this.
Having just been promoted, I need time to consolidate my realm, adapt to the new power, and systematically organize and integrate all my knowledge and insights into real combat power and knowledge system.
Rowling set a plan for himself:
Spend half a month to thoroughly consolidate the second environment, adapt to the changes brought about by [Quiet Dust Star], and optimize the second-order operation of [Myriad Phenomena Star Vortex].
Then, I began to try to construct a simplified first-order spell model for [Disruption of Order].
Meanwhile, he continues to guide Ellie and uses his heightened perception to delve deeper into the mysteries of symbiotic systems.
Sunlight streamed through the window of Black Rock Town and fell onto the desk.
Outside the window, the wind still blows across the wilderness, and wisps of smoke rise from the chimneys of the small town.
Stepping out of the quiet room, the afternoon sun slanted into the threshold of the black stone cottage, spreading a warm patch of light on the floor.
The air was filled with the faint, fresh scent of the magical plants on the windowsill, a blend of soil and roots.
Luo Lin stood still, took a deep breath, and felt not only the air filling his lungs, but also a fuller and clearer sense of energy flowing through him.
Within the spiritual sea, the twin stars [Morning Star] and [Quiet Dust Star] shone brightly, their stellar power flowing as naturally and steadily as breathing, without the previous subtle stagnation and saturation.
Ellie put down the kettle in her hand, walked over quickly, and looked up at him.
Besides joy, there was also a hint of probing in her eyes. She could vaguely sense the qualitative difference in Luo Lin, but at her current level, she could not understand what it was.
"I feel—you seem a little different," she said, carefully choosing her words.
"It's not the appearance, it's—it's the feeling."
"Just like this moonflower, the feeling it gives when it was first transplanted is completely different from how it feels now that it has grown up."
She pointed to the moonflower with its thick, silvery leaves in the stone trough.
This simple metaphor made Rowling's lips twitch slightly.
"It is somewhat different." He walked to the table, picked up the kettle, and poured himself a glass of water. The water was at a comfortable temperature, clearly boiled by Ellie not long ago.
"This can be considered a new step forward."
"For the next period of time, I need to consolidate my state of mind, so it may be relatively quiet. Just follow the steps on your own."
"I understand," Ellie replied immediately, then asked with some anticipation.
"Well—once I've stabilized it a bit more, could you check the connection with the Moon Silver Flower again when you have some free time?"
"I always feel that the flow of energy in some places could be a little smoother."
"Okay." Luo Lin took a sip of water, feeling the refreshing sensation of the water sliding down his throat.
"Don't rush to make changes, observe and record first."
"Your intuition is often very accurate. Write down any areas that you feel could be improved, and we'll adjust them together later."
For the next two weeks, Luo Lin's life became almost rigidly routine.
Every day before dawn, he would get up and perform a set of soothing yet precise star energy guiding techniques in the courtyard to loosen his muscles and bones, while also allowing his body to further adapt to the enhancements brought by the second environment.
After breakfast, there was a four-hour deep meditation session.
Meditation is no longer about increasing mental strength; that has become a natural and slow accumulation after things have come to fruition—the focus is on organizing and consolidating it.
Consciousness sinks into the sea of the mind, like the most patient craftsman, carefully examining the twin-star structure of [Morning Star] and [Silent Dust Star], adjusting the speed, trajectory and connection point of each stream of star power in the second-order form of [Myriad Stars]
This is a delicate task, requiring the vast and active stellar energy to be contained in a more efficient and stable cycle, allowing no room for haste.
The qualities of [Quiet Dust Star] are fully manifested in meditation.
In the past, there were inevitably some messy fragments of thoughts or undigested energy disturbances left in the sea of consciousness, like sediment at the bottom of the water.
Now, under the tranquil and inclusive gravitational field of [Quiet Dust Star], these dregs will naturally be attracted, settled, and decomposed, eventually merging into the star power cycle or being expelled from the spiritual realm.
The entire mental sea remained in a clear and stable state, and the thinking process was exceptionally clear and smooth.
In the afternoon, Luo Lin would spend one or two hours organizing the knowledge.
He categorized and reorganized his journey to the Scorching Hell, the analysis of the Civilization Stone Tablet, the study of the Observer's Relics, and even his observations of Ellie's symbiotic experiments, extracting key points and attempting to cross-reference knowledge from different fields.
Many previously vague connections or unresolved questions have been resolved thanks to the enhanced information processing capabilities of the second environment and the [Quiet Dust Star].
The reflective and contemplative qualities it brings often lead to sudden enlightenment and new understanding.
He recorded these insights in neat handwriting in a specially made thick leather notebook.
Evening is the time to instruct Ellie.
Usually only half an hour, but that's enough to answer her accumulated questions or discuss a particular detail.
Luo Lin rarely gave direct answers, but rather guided her to think and verify on her own.
Ellie was used to this pattern; before asking a question, she would always first state her speculations and the methods she had tried.
During this period, Ellie's mental strength steadily improved with the help of the symbiotic system, and she became increasingly adept at sensing and manipulating basic elemental energy.
That gentle, orange flame can now be stably maintained for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, and it can sway slightly and change shape according to her wishes.
What surprised her even more was that she began to be able to vaguely smell the extremely subtle differences in scent between the energy particles of different properties in the wind.
This is yet another manifestation of the deep development of spiritual perception.
The changes in honeysuckle are also significant.
With Ellie's daily deep resonance and spiritual feedback, its energy cache structure has become more perfect, and it can even actively adjust the speed of energy output according to Ellie's needs during meditation.
The silver halo on the leaves can illuminate half a room at night; the light is cool and soft, with a wonderful effect of calming the mind.
Luo Lin carefully scanned the area with his upgraded Insight Ring and confirmed that around the natural interface at the core of Moon Silver Flower's energy, an extremely tiny spiritual resonance knot, synchronized with Ellie's mental frequency, had faintly formed.
This is a sign that the symbiotic relationship has penetrated to the soul level, with both risks and opportunities, requiring more careful observation.
After a two-week consolidation period, Luo Lin felt that he had reached his peak condition.
The mental sea is stable and clear, the two stars operate in harmony, and the star power circulates as easily as an extension of one's own limbs.
It's time to move on to the next step.
