Wizard: My career panel has no upper limit

Chapter 60: Among the Stars...

After carefully locking the door, Ron also drew heavy curtains on the windows to ensure that no one could see what was going on inside the house.

He took out a set of protective runes, which was a standard protective kit purchased from the school's material store not long ago. It could isolate the leakage of mental fluctuations to a certain extent.

Following the instructions, he placed the rune kits in the four corners of the room. He then took out a few special incenses and lit them. These incenses contained trace amounts of mind-stabilizing ingredients that could alleviate the discomfort that might occur when first encountering advanced meditation methods.

"First, follow Mrs. Allen's advice and ensure the safety of the environment." Ron said to himself, his fingers carefully adding the final activation rune to the edge of the magic circle.

Accompanied by a weak energy fluctuation, the magic circle was activated, emitting a faint light blue halo, gently isolating the area where he was from the outside world.

Everything was ready. Ron took a deep breath, sat cross-legged in the center of the magic circle, and adjusted to the most comfortable posture.

"Knowledge has weight..." He recalled Mrs. Allen's warning and became secretly cautious.

The more advanced the meditation method, the greater the risks involved.

As the famous old saying in the wizarding world goes - "True knowledge is a burden, and wisdom is often accompanied by madness."

Basic meditation methods simply direct the mind's energy to circulate along a specific path, like swimming in a safe stream;
"Murmurs of the Star-Eater" directs the practitioner's mental power into an unknown ocean, facing endless possibilities. The danger is self-evident and cannot be taken lightly.

"Let's start by stabilizing the mental field..."

Closing his eyes, Ron entered a familiar meditative state.

The basic meditation rune naturally took shape in his consciousness space, and the three arcs intertwined to form a stable structure.

But this time, he did not stop at this stage, but tried to build the more complex rune taught by Mrs. Allen on this basis.

This is a difficult process.

The complex structure composed of dozens of basic runes was far more difficult to control than he had imagined.

Every time he tried to add a new part, the original structure began to destabilize and almost collapse.

But thanks to the increase in mental power brought by the job change to [Wizard Apprentice], Ron managed to control the shaky rune structure.

He did not give up and continued to try, again and again.

As time went by, he gradually mastered some tricks. The key to its construction was not to force the pieces together, but to understand the relationship between the various parts of the rune and let them blend together naturally.

It's like solving an extremely complex equation, and you need to find the key variable that unlocks everything.

Finally, after who knows how many attempts, a vague but relatively complete rune of "The Whisper of the Star Eater" took shape in his consciousness space.

The rune of "Whispers of the Star Eater" took shape in Ron's consciousness space, and he felt an unprecedented power surging in his body.

But the stability of the runes is still very fragile, like a castle on the beach, which may be washed away by the tide at any time.

At this moment, he remembered another instruction from Mrs. Allen:
"When you first try advanced meditation, you can use your bottle of artificial star dew to assist you. It can reduce mental stress and increase your success rate... and if anything unexpected happens, it may be able to protect you."

Ron opened his eyes and took out the bottle of artificial star dew given by Holt from his arms.

In the transparent bottle, the silver-blue liquid flows slowly like a living thing, emitting faint starlight.

"Maybe now is the perfect time to use it."

He carefully pulled out the cork, and a cool yet mysterious fragrance immediately filled the air.

The smell evokes the night sky, the stars, and the unreachable mysteries of the universe.

Ron took a deep breath and drank the artificial star dew in one gulp.

The icy liquid slid down his throat and instantly transformed into a strange energy that flowed through his body. He felt an unprecedented sense of clarity, as if his brain was being thoroughly cleansed by some force.

【Artificial Star Dew Effect Activated! 】

[Increase in mental stability]

[Meditation efficiency slightly increased]

[Special effect triggered: Mental Shield (effectively resists mental pollution information)]

Closing his eyes again, Ron found that his consciousness became unusually clear.

The once shaky "Whispers of the Star Eater" rune is now much more stable, and the connections between its various parts have become clearer.

Under the influence of the Star Dew, he was able to understand the inner logic of this complex rune from a whole new perspective.

The parts that once confused him now seemed so natural, as natural as breathing.

[The skill "Star Eater's Whisper" has been detected and has been mastered]

[Additional feature - Spiritual flow has been activated! ]

[Basic meditation experience will be directly converted into "Star Eater's Whisper" experience]

The effect of the artificial star dew allowed him to break through to the entry level so quickly that it was almost unbelievable.

[Current Progress: "The Whisper of the Star Eater" (Beginner 1/100) → "The Whisper of the Star Eater" (Proficient 1/300)]

[Additional feature acquired: Initiation (There is a certain probability of gaining special inspiration during meditation, giving you a glimpse of the "truth")]

[Inspiration has been triggered, please be extremely cautious! ]

The space of consciousness suddenly expanded, and the originally dark background was torn apart like thin paper, revealing the heart-wrenching scene behind it.

The boundless starry sky unfolded before his eyes. Thousands of stars pulsated like living things, and the distance between them was constantly changing, as if the entire universe was caught in some kind of chaotic dance.

The most disturbing thing was that the stars seemed to have their own will. They were "looking" at Ron in an indescribable way, making him feel uncomfortable as if all his clothes were stripped off and examined.

"Is this the true face of 'The Whispers of the Star-Eater'?" Ron exclaimed in his heart, and at the same time felt an inexplicable fear for no reason.

Mrs. Allen's explanation suddenly made sense at this moment.

This so-called "Murmurs of the Star-Eater" is not just a meditation method, but more like a new worldview, a reinterpretation of the essence of mental power, and a challenge to human cognition.

In a trance, he heard a strange sound, not through his ears, but directly in the depths of his consciousness, as if someone was whispering in his mind.

It was a sound that could not be described in any human language. It was neither language nor music, but a combination of the two.

To be more precise, these are sounds that should not be heard by humans, because they contain information and concepts that exceed the capacity of the ordinary brain, and each "syllable" carries enough information weight to penetrate the common sense of ordinary people.

"Mumbling." Ron immediately understood the origin of the name of this meditation method.

Although the information contained in the sound cannot be fully understood, it carries a strange rhythm, as if telling the deepest secrets of the universe.

As he listened, the content of the mumbling gradually became clearer.

They tell an ancient story, about the death of stars, the decay of galaxies, and the awakening of some ancient existence in the universe.
