Chapter 48: 015: Warrior Feather

Warrior’s Feather!

Originally named the Undying Bird’s Feather, this is a magical artifact with peculiar effects. Its functions are many, but its greatest value is undoubtedly in——

Enhancing meditation!

This object possesses extraordinary elemental traits, naturally drawing the surrounding elements to it whenever it appears, thereby increasing the elemental content of the entire area.

The essence of wizard meditation is to absorb elements from nature, so the higher the elemental content in an area, the faster the meditation efficiency.

"I never expected the usually stingy tower to be so generous this time." Although Leonard had previously informed Lynch of an impending valuable reward, he truly didn’t expect the tower to reward him with such a precious item.

The Warrior’s Feather originates from the Undying Phoenix, a magical creature in the Wizard World, formed purely of elements, unable to reproduce, only born through the natural incubation of elements.

A Judge of the Shadow Tower helped an Undying Phoenix escape a perilous situation during a journey thousands of years ago, forging a friendship with it and becoming companions. Since then, the Shadow Tower has possessed the Warrior’s Feather.

However, the feathers of an Undying Phoenix are exceedingly rare, with only a few dropping each year.

As such, after the initial Judge left the tower with the Undying Phoenix, successive Judges unanimously agreed that the remaining Warrior’s Feathers would be awarded only to outstanding apprentices.

No matter the birth or background, evaluations are based purely on the apprentice’s performance, requiring votes from seven Judges to prevent some Wizard Families from leveraging their resources and power for apprentices.

Regarding magical items, the tower offers various rewards for apprentices, but the Warrior’s Feather is considered one of the best an apprentice can receive.

At the same time, it’s also one of the most difficult rewards to obtain.

"Let’s see how effective it is!"

Lynch took the gem box to a corner, sat on a meditation chair carved from ancient oak, opened the lid, and the quiet Warrior’s Feather inside floated up naturally, gently orbiting around Lynch.

In the warm glow of the fire, an indescribable warmth spread naturally throughout the room, permeating through the skin and into the Spirit.

Lynch crossed his hands over his chest, closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state.

"Such dense elements!"

As soon as he entered his Spiritual Sea, Lynch noticed the difference from before. Previously, the world perceived around him during meditation was quite dim, requiring much effort to slowly attract elements to illuminate the gray space.

This time, however, without doing anything, the surroundings were already lit up with dense element light points, as if he were amidst a vast galaxy.

Extending Spirit Tentacles towards the surrounding element light points, Lynch began his meditation.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock!"

The ticking sound of the mechanical clock’s gears echoed in the room. Lynch sat quietly on the chair, the long feather floating around his body, the warm yellow firelight illuminating his serene and tranquil expression.

After one round of meditation...

Opening his eyes, Lynch felt the meditation efficiency was higher than ever. Looking at the information displayed on the system panel, Lynch couldn’t help but slightly open his mouth.

[Meditation Chapter Skill Level +5]

"No way, just one round of meditation adds 5 points to skill level!"

So far, meditation in Lynch’s cultivation list was the hardest to improve on skill level. Usually, one round would increase 1 or 2 points. Even at peak efficiency, it would only add 3 points.

Never before had there been a situation where it increased by 5 points in one go.

"This is truly a treasure!"

Lynch then fully understood why so many apprentices yearned for this feather. Based on this meditation alone, its efficiency practically doubled.

Long-term meditation might not show such a large increase, as with an apprentice’s growth in power, meditation efficiency naturally improves, and one’s innate attraction to elements grows stronger, decreasing the feather’s effect.

However, in the early to mid-stages, the feather’s effect is still quite pronounced, generally enhancing efficiency by 10% to 30%.

It might not seem much, but over a lengthy apprenticeship, it becomes significant. Given an average apprenticeship duration of 50 years, a 10% increase saves 5 years, while 30% saves 15 years!

"The extra time allows for so much more to be done, to learn more knowledge and magic!"
