Chapter 4: 4
Chapter 4: Erosion
"Excessive meditation causes a large amount of energy particles to accumulate inside the body and cannot be discharged, which then erode the body's organs and cause varying degrees of damage to the body's functions?!"
Ronan looked through the memories of his previous life and finally found the cause of his "symptoms".
"Can too much meditation harm your health?!"
His expression suddenly turned ugly.
He now finally understood why the physical condition of this body was so poor.
I originally thought that he was born into a noble family in his previous life, but he had no self-control at such a young age and was drained of his body by alcohol and sex.
Now it seems that the main reason is the long-term erosion by energy particles.
"Because of my poor aptitude, I have to spend more time on meditation than others.
There are a lot of energy particles accumulated in the body, and I can't afford the magic potion to dissolve it, so my health is getting worse and worse, and I am even worse than an ordinary person."
Ronan looked gloomy.
The memories he integrated were fragmentary and incomplete, and he had not yet mastered the art of meditation, so he had never noticed this.
Looking back now, I found that many wizards actually have the problem of their bodies being eroded by energy particles.
But it is not taken seriously.
It is because of the opening sentence of "Basic Meditation" - the soul is the destination of immortality.
For wizards, the ultimate goal of practice is to pursue the so-called eternal existence of the soul. Apart from that, there is nothing that cannot be given up.
This also includes one's own physical body.
Moreover, when a wizard apprentice is promoted to a formal wizard, his physical body will be slightly enhanced.
Moreover, the body can be transformed through magic later.
"No wonder the wizards he had seen in his memory all looked either very old or very ugly. Is this the current situation of low-level wizards?"
Ronan felt powerless for a moment.
He was not a person who paid much attention to appearance, but he could accept that his appearance was not so good, but he could not accept having a body of a sixty-year-old at the age of sixteen.
If he continues to train at this rate, it won't be long before he needs a cane to walk.
I probably couldn't climb up the tree anymore, so I had to eat, drink, defecate and urinate on the tree every day.
"That's fucked up..."
Ronan imagined in his mind a scene of himself trembling and holding on to a tree branch while peeing in his pants in mid-air, but he couldn't bear to watch it.
It is actually very simple to solve the problem of energy particle erosion.
One is to control the frequency of meditation.
Reduce the number of meditations and increase the time between meditations.
After a meditation, wait until the body slowly discharges the excess energy particles before starting the next meditation. The situation will be much better.
But this would undoubtedly greatly slow down his training speed, making Ronan's already terrible talent even worse.
Another way is to take potions.
But this method is even less feasible.
A bottle of the cheapest magic potion costs more than ten low-level magic stones. With this money, Ronan might as well use it to buy auxiliary potions that can directly enhance mental strength.
If you don't want to slow down your cultivation and don't want to spend money, you can only
"practice."
Ronan let out a short breath and said sullenly, "From now on, physical exercise will be officially included in my daily training program."
This is the dumbest way.
Make your body strong, and then fight those invading energy particles to the end!
Poor people can only rely on themselves.
After working for half an hour, Ronan collected a full jar of morning dew.
This thing is a relatively easy-to-obtain wizard material. After reading a few books last night, Ronan began to collect it consciously.
After placing the jar filled with morning dew in a cool place, Ronan plucked a handful of sage leaves, crushed them, stuffed them into his mouth, brushed his teeth hastily, and then began to prepare his breakfast.
Breakfast is also simple, a small pot of multi-grain oatmeal porridge.
There was no side dish to go with the porridge, so I just added a little rock honey that was left over from my previous life and I don't know how long it had been stored.
I didn't expect it to taste so good.
Ronan squatted at the door of the hut with a bowl in his hand, slurping porridge while opening his character panel.
[Name: Ronan Damien]
Age: 16
[Talent: No attribute affinity]
[Strength: First-level wizard apprentice (86%)]
[Skill: Basic Meditation (Entry Level 5/100)]
After one night, his strength progressed at no point, but his proficiency in meditation increased by five points.
At this moment, Ronan was no longer as excited and happy as he was last night.
The main reason was that he studied this panel all night and found that it seemed to have no other function except displaying his own practice status in real time.
"It turns out that you still have to rely on your own liver"
Ronan was feeling a little depressed. He quickly finished his breakfast, washed the dishes, and then climbed down the tree along the long vine in front of the house.
Now is a good time for morning exercise.
The task of strengthening physical fitness is urgent, and Ronan must act now.
He planned his morning jogging route a little.
"Go straight along this path, turn right under the fourth oak tree, and go around to the left when you see a mud pit."
"If you encounter danger, return immediately along the same route!"
Ronan felt that he was about ready, so he started running slowly along the forest path.
The road in the woods is difficult to walk on, with ups and downs, and sometimes you will encounter stones and dead trees blocking the way.
But it can serve as a good exercise.
After running for a while, Ronan began to sweat and his breathing became much faster.
In fact, when it comes to exercise, the grass by the lake is the best choice.
But ever since the wizard fight yesterday, Ronan has no plans to go there for the time being.
The view on the grass is wide, and if you encounter anything, there is nowhere to hide.
The robe on his body was soaked with sweat and stuck to his skin uncomfortably. The baggy sleeves and hem were also in the way.
Ronan thought that he should change his clothes later. He remembered that there was a light hunting suit among the spare clothes left by his predecessor, which was more suitable for activities in the forest.
"You've gotten to this point, why do you still need to pay attention to wizard etiquette? Wearing wizard robes doesn't necessarily make you a wizard."
Ronan was panting from exhaustion, his hair roots were wet.
After pushing aside a bush, he saw water gurgling out of a tree hole under a big tree in front of him, so he gradually slowed down his pace.
"I ran about seven or eight miles."
Ronan wasn't quite sure either, so he casually pulled out a golden pocket watch from his pocket and checked the time.
At this time, nearly an hour and a half had passed since he left the tree house.
Several places on my body were accidentally scratched by branches, leaving streaks of blood, which were burning with pain after being soaked with sweat.
"Fortunately, there are no large wild animals in this area, otherwise we wouldn't dare to go so deep."
Ronan thought as he walked towards the tree hole in front where water was gushing out.
When I got to the tree hole, I scooped up a handful of water and took two sips, and found that it tasted quite clear and sweet.
After a quick scrub, Ronan took off his shoes and soaked his feet.
