Cybona Origin Pool

Compared to quick cast runes and silent cast runes, multi-cast runes emphasized long-term effects more.

Silent cast and quick cast runes had effect the moment they were created, but multi-cast runes had no effect if one or two were created. Even after making nine of them, there would be no effect at all.

However, the moment you made 10 multi-cast runes, a qualitative change would occur. The 10 multi-cast runes would fuse together in the depths of the soul, creating a "multi-cast soul".

At that time, the Spellcaster would gain the highly desired ability to dual-cast spells.

A Spellcaster with dual-cast talent was able to chant two spells at the same time, and the two spells were independent and would not conflict with each other. The two spells could have the effects of silent cast and quick cast runes as well.

One person could simply be treated as two people. This was the powerful effect of multi-cast runes.

But the problem was, one or two multi-cast runes were not hard to create, but to make 10 of them, one not only needed to have talent, they also needed time, perseverance, and effort, as well as a vast amount of resources. It was most suitable to say that it was a long-term investment.

Regardless of whether it was silent cast, quick cast, or multi-cast, these three runes made up the most important and fundamental cores of a Spellcaster.

Even though there were other runes as well, compared to these three, the effects were much weaker.

Of course, Gurney had heard of very rare or unique runes before, but their information was not recorded in common supernatural items.

In fact, the information would disappear with time.

Gurney held anticipation towards obtaining these kinds of special runes as well.

The lesson involving spell runes ended after Teacher Ourock finished his explanation, "…the gains are not small."

From this class, Gurney learned a lot of new knowledge; he also gained a new understanding of his existing knowledge.

The Passive Farming System was currently farming Bone Essence Potion Mantra, Knight Breathing Style, and the incomplete supernatural spell scroll that tortured and refined Gurney's soul at all times. (He doesn't feel the side effects when it's in the farming slot.) It made Gurney's soul much more sensitive and perceptive; his memory and comprehension level also rose by a lot.

"Gurney, come to my office." Before Gurney finished packing his books into his bag, Teacher Ourock had already given instructions to him.

Good timing. I need to speak to Teacher Ourock for some matters as well, Gurney thought to himself.

…

Minutes later.

Ourock Tower, ninth floor.

There were six rows of bookshelves in Ourock's office. Gurney stood inside while waiting for him.

Not far away, sunlight penetrated the glass and landed on the pots of plants on the balcony.

There were three pots on the balcony. They were scarlet red and smelled like blood; they were the supernatural plant "Red Bite Man-Eating Flower" that looked like two hands clasped together.

A branch that was about the length of an arm could be seen moving at an observable rate. The blood-colored teeth in the mouth-like part resembled sharp needles. These Red Bite Man-Eating Flowers were easily able to chew off a piece of flesh from a human body.

At the moment, Ourock was busy attending to these three flowers on his balcony.

Ourock was able to move casually around these three Red Bite Man-Eating Flowers.

However, if others went closer, they would lose pieces of their flesh; in fact, some might even be turned into food for these plants.

And this Red Bite Man-Eating Flower was only the weakest type of supernatural plant. It could barely move and had limited attack range; in the eyes of Spellcasters, it was basically an immobile target.

As for those supernatural lifeforms that had extremely strong survival traits, even powerful Transcendents did not want to face them.

After attending to them, Ourock turned around and smiled at Gurney. "It will be winter soon. The weather is getting colder, and these young ones are getting harder to feed. When winter arrives, they will likely hibernate."

Gurney smiled lightly as well.

"You…" After sitting down, Ourock observed Gurney carefully again. "You seem quite different from a month ago."

Ourock spoke vaguely, but Gurney understood his words.

Because a month ago, Ourock seemed to know that Gurney had three silent cast runes.

In this regard, Gurney did not conceal anything. After all, the silent cast runes were not his greatest secret.

"I managed to succeed luckily. It placed a great deal of pressure on my soul," Gurney replied honestly.

"Mm, this means you have four now. You are already able to instantly cast most low-tier spells. You have to know that even for many mid-tier Transcendents, they are still not able to achieve this. Your talent is far more impressive than I thought." Ourock's eyelids twitched subtly. "Pressure on your soul is a common thing. After all, you are not a true Transcendent yet.

"By the time you become a true Transcendent, the pressure on you will become much smaller. By then, you will be able to create one or two more silent cast runes.

"If you are willing to, you can bring my recommendation letter to Dragon Tidal Mountain's White Tower. They will open their doors to someone like you. Furthermore, I am recommending you to some very exceptional teachers. They will treat you as a core member and nurture you. It will not be a problem for you to become a supernatural Spellcaster there.

"In fact, you can obtain even rarer and more special Spellcaster tokens there. You would become a very unique Spellcaster. You need to know that the dream of many Mages is to enter Dragon Tidal Mountain's White Tower. Most of them aspire to become one of those special Spellcasters." After saying so, Ourock passed the recommendation letter to Gurney.

This situation had occurred four times already in the last few months.

Dragon Tidal Mountain's White Tower…

It was a very powerful force that was independent of the various empires. It focused on supernatural research and studies as its goal, maintaining neutrality and not joining in the conflict of the various forces.

There were many forces that were just like it in Oasia Continent.

In the past several times, Gurney had directly rejected the invitation from Ourock, but this time, he did not reject the offer immediately.

After thinking about it, Gurney went up and took the wax-sealed letter. He then replied, "I will consider it after graduation. If it is suitable for me, I will head to Dragon Tidal Mountain's White Tower. After all, I know that it is the cultivation sacred ground for Mages."

"Very good!" Seeing that Gurney took the letter, Ourock finally showed a smile on his wrinkled face.

After waiting for some time, Gurney asked tentatively. "Actually, I have something that I want to—"

"You want books regarding the opening of the origin pool and its cultivation method, correct?"

Gurney had mentioned it before. Ourock naturally knew what he was going to request.

"Yes, teacher."

"You are not a true Transcendent now. You have yet to experience the truth of being a Transcendent. Even if you obtain the [Bona Origin Pool] that you desire, you are still unable to open the origin pool now. At most, you will gain the capacity to hold more origin force. Even though I can sense that your physique is stronger than the average Spellcaster, which would allow you to contain more origin force, it will still not be a lot. However, since I already agreed to it, I will give you what you want." Raising his hand, Ourock's robe fluttered in the air.

A book with an ancient design and a special temple cover constructed with rune seals appeared out of thin air; its pages quickly turned on their own.

This was the "Book of Memory Hall" that was constructed by a supernatural researcher.

Everything that one could remember, see, hear, perceive, feel, and even think would be perfectly recorded on the pages of this book.

Furthermore, this Book of Memory Hall could automatically classify and organize fragmented information.

"Let me see…" Ourock inspected his book while speaking. "[Bona Origin Pool] costs twenty points, and you have accumulated… hmm… twenty-one points in these few months." Ourock looked at the points recorded on his Book of Memory Hall as he nodded slightly.

Waving his hand, the Book of Memory Hall then vanished into specks of light.

"Student Gurney Lawrence exchanges twenty points for the supernatural book [Cybona Origin Pool]," Ourock said softly.

The Book of Memory Hall seemingly recorded this information down on its own.

"[Cybona Origin Pool]?" Gurney was stunned.

[Bona Origin Pool] was a low-tier origin pool book that cost 20 points.

As for [Cybona Origin Pool], it was a mid-tier origin pool book that was valued at fifty points at least.

"Teacher, did you make a mistake?" Gurney was stunned as he asked.

"No mistake there." Ourock smiled lightly. "You have good talent. This [Cybona Origin Pool] is more suitable for you."

After thinking about it, Gurney bowed towards Teacher Ourock.

"Thank you, teacher!"
