Wizard: Start with Biological Transformation to Grind Experience novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8: 008: Cannibal Flower Gastric Acid Mucosa Transplantation Method

A few days after returning from the book house, Lynch visited Subaru again, using his remaining Magic Stones to commission him to cultivate some Sober Magic Beans to help restore spiritual power.

Spiritual power is extremely important to Wizards since every activity they perform requires its expenditure, including meditation, experimentation, studying, and even eating and walking—so long as they're awake, spiritual power is being consumed.

When spiritual power is depleted, Wizards can't do anything and must stop to rest in order to recover it.

Conventional methods of restoring spiritual power mostly involve sleep and rest, but the efficiency of these methods is clearly too slow.

Spiritual power is ten times the Spirit Attribute. Lynch's current Spirit Attribute is 1.3, making his spiritual power 13.

This level of spiritual power is only enough for him to perform meditation twice, conduct three Basic Biological Transformation experiments, engage in six hours of uninterrupted spell reading, or complete one Elementary Magic Plants Transformation.

Often, the amount of spiritual power he has is exhausted by the morning. His rest periods take up over half the day, meaning that, by this timeline, he'll barely progress before the assessment arrives.

After considering all his options, Lynch finally decided to rely on some external aids.

As a basic magical plant, Sober Magic Beans can restore approximately 10 spiritual power within half an hour and can be used three times a day, perfectly aligning with Lynch's current spiritual power level.

Additionally, there's the Fairy Fountain in the plaza. If he ever gets too exhausted, he can wash his face there to recover a small amount of spiritual power.

This would significantly shorten the time needed to recover spiritual power each day. By strategically planning his cultivation schedule, he could remain in a cultivation state for 24 hours, only needing to supplement his spiritual power with sleep every two days.

This would effectively allow him to spend two days' worth of time in a single day, stretching his original three months of preparation to six months or even longer.

Of course, upon hearing this plan, Subaru thought Lynch had gone mad.

While everyone understood the idea of using external aids to restore spiritual power and extend cultivation time, almost no one seriously pursued it.

After all, Wizards are not machines. Cultivation and studying are tedious enough on their own; many apprentices can't even complete their daily lessons, with a good number finding just looking at Rune Language nauseatingly headache-inducing and sleep-inducing.

Now Lynch is talking about giving up rest entirely to devote himself to cultivation, even sacrificing basic sleep for his training.

Oh, heavens! Has no one told him that sleep is one of life's greatest pleasures?

"You've gone astray, silly boy!"

Although Subaru didn't despise hardworking and ambitious apprentices, he thought that recklessly charging forward like this was utterly foolish.

After all, this is the Wizard World—a land that values resources and connections.

Months of day-and-night cultivation might only equate to the effects of a single Magic Potion or fruit, and years or even decades of tireless effort could pale in comparison to the benefits gained from a prominent figure's favor and one night of cultivation under their guidance.

With this kind of perseverance and drive for reckless self-cultivation, wouldn't it be better spent researching higher-quality resources?

Think about ways to gain favor with influential figures and obtain their sponsorship—isn't this far more effective than futile daily effort behind the scenes?

But, despite Subaru's advice, Lynch merely scratched his head and honestly replied, "I'll just focus on cultivation for now."

Subaru was speechless: "You're ridiculously stubborn!"
