After all, Basic Meditation LV10 was different from Basic Meditation LV1. LV10 allows meditators to clearly distinguish each element, while those at LV1 could only vaguely perceive the amalgamated elements.
For others, meditation would proceed progressively in stages, but Xiao Lin had experienced LV10 Basic Meditation. Even though it lasted for only three minutes, it etched a lasting and unforgettable impression on his mind.
It was analogous to a top master who suddenly lost all of his martial arts skills and became a beginner again. His experience would surely allow him to practice faster than other beginners. One could say that Xiao Lin's current situation was akin to that example.
If other people meditated by trial-and-error while groping around in the dark, then Xiao Lin's meditation realm already had a beacon of light. Trial-and-error was unnecessary; all he had to do was move straight toward an already clear end goal.
