Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

“Meditation Techniques for Spellcasters: From Novice to Burial”, this is a Cultivation Technique spanning four different levels.

It includes “Meditation Basics”, “Intermediate Meditation”, “Advanced Meditation”, and “Master Meditation” – four progressive Cultivation Techniques.

This is a set of peaceful meditation techniques, comprehensible to practitioners of any magical profession, with the entry standard being the attainment of First Order.

There are four chapters, each corresponding to the practitioner’s order, and each chapter is divided into ten layers.

In the basic chapter, each layer increases base attributes: Spirit +2, Spiritual Power +1, physique +0.5, Spiritual Energy recovery rate +0.1%; (learnable by First Order)

In the intermediate chapter, each layer increases: Spirit +4, Spiritual Power +2, physique +1, Spiritual Energy recovery rate +0.2%; (comprehensible by Second Order)

In the advanced chapter, each layer increases: Spirit +8, Spiritual Power +4, physique +2, Spiritual Energy recovery rate +0.4%; (comprehensible by Third Order)

In the master chapter, each layer increases: Spirit +16, Spiritual Power +8, physique +4, Spiritual Energy recovery rate +0.8%. (comprehensible by Fourth Order)

Cultivation Techniques require comprehension, but the basics do not require this; when Zi Liyuan flipped through the Basics from beginning to end, this basic meditation technique appeared in the Cultivation Technique column of his attribute panel.

[“Meditation Basics (White)” LV0 (experience 0/200): A common quality basic Cultivation Technique, each level increases physique by +0.5, Spirit by +2, Spiritual Power by +1, Spiritual Energy recovery rate by +0.1%, the highest level for this technique is LV10. (Note: Suitable for any magical profession practitioner of First Order LV20 or above to practice)]

The basics are of common white quality, and compared to “Great Xia Empire’s 9th Set of Broadcast Exercises (White)” which has no threshold and can be practiced solely with the Yan Huang Bloodline, it increases attributes by a bit more.

However, accordingly, leveling up this Cultivation Technique consumes twice as much experience as “Great Xia Empire’s 9th Set of Broadcast Exercises (White)”.

But is that little bit of experience even a matter?

Looking at the several hundred million experience points quietly lying in the experience pool, he pressed the upgrade button without any hesitation.

“Meditation Basics (White)” LV0→LV10 (MAX), base attributes boost: physique +5, Spirit +20, Spiritual Power +10, Spiritual Energy recovery rate +1%.

For Zi Liyuan, who now has base attributes over 1500, and Spirit past 2100, the attributes added by Meditation Basics (LV10, MAX) were marginally useful.

Nonetheless, Lord Zi certainly wasn’t going to fuss over such details, because he began to comprehend the subsequent technique, “Intermediate Meditation (Green)”.

For Zi Liyuan, whose comprehension wasn’t low, the intermediate chapter was just a matter of reading from beginning to end, and then he comprehended the Second Order advanced Cultivation Technique “Intermediate Meditation (Green)”.

[“Intermediate Meditation (Green)” LV0 (experience 0/2000): An elite quality intermediate Cultivation Technique, each level increases physique by +1, Spirit by +4, Spiritual Power by +2, Spiritual Energy recovery rate by +0.2%, the highest level for this technique is LV10. (Note: Requires first learning the basics by a magical profession practitioner, attaining Second Order LV40 or above to comprehend and practice)]

The intermediate chapter belongs to an elite quality Cultivation Technique, and compared to “Basic Spirit Absorption (Green)” which can be comprehended on one’s own through Bloodline Power, it’s a notch stronger, but also costs twice as much experience to level up.

But experience points are totally not an issue for Lord Zi.

With a thought, he once again pressed on the attribute panel, leveling the technique to MAX in one go.

“Intermediate Meditation (Green)” LV0→LV10 (MAX), base attributes boost: physique +10, Spirit +40, Spiritual Power +20, Spiritual Energy recovery rate +2%.

Looking at the slight increase in base attributes, Zi Liyuan smacked his lips and flipped open the advanced chapter’s explanation of the technique.

Compared to the easy comprehension of the intermediate chapter, the difficulty of comprehending the advanced chapter was many times greater.

This time, comprehension took much longer, a full half-hour passed, before the Third Order advanced Cultivation Technique “Advanced Meditation (Blue)” was finally comprehended and appeared in his attribute panel’s Cultivation Technique column.

[“Advanced Meditation (Blue)” LV0 (experience 0/20K): A rare quality advanced Cultivation Technique, each level increases physique by +2, Spirit by +8, Spiritual Power by +4, Spiritual Energy recovery rate by +0.4%, the highest level for this technique is LV10. (Note: Requires first learning the intermediate chapter by a magical profession practitioner, attaining Third Order LV60 or above to comprehend and practice)]

With the advanced Cultivation Technique, the experience consumed for leveling up increased yet another tenfold, while each layer’s attribute boost also doubled.

Just inject the experience points, and it’s all set!

“Advanced Meditation (Blue)” LV0→LV10 (MAX), base attributes boost: physique +20, Spirit +80, Spiritual Power +40, Spiritual Energy recovery rate +4%.

This time, the boost to base attributes was considerable, but Lord Zi did not stop there; instead, he flipped to the last advanced chapter – “Master Meditation”!

This time, comprehension became very difficult, with many parts necessitating word-by-word understanding and even repeated contemplation on the teacher’s notations for thorough comprehension.

As he read from beginning to end through the “Master Meditation (Silver)” for the umpteenth time, Zi Liyuan’s Bloodline Power suddenly pulsed, and the Spiritual Power within his body began to circulate and fluctuate according to a certain pattern.

In a flash of enlightenment, he operated his internal Spiritual Power with all his might, meandering through the meridians and acupoints, feeling a clarity in his mind.

Then the technique transformed into a stream of silver light, imprinting itself inside his body, revealing itself in the Cultivation Technique column of his attribute panel.

“Whew, it turns out that after the Bloodline is activated and strengthened, it also has a boost for the comprehension of Cultivation Techniques, huh?”

Muttering to himself, Zi Liyuan looked at the Cultivation Technique column on his attribute panel.

This time, comprehension took a full three hours, but the Fourth Order advanced Cultivation Technique “Master Meditation (Silver)” was comprehended by him across orders.
