Chapter 172 Influence(2/2)
The outer shell of the first book is made of thick brown cowhide, which is more than ten centimeters thick. However, the content about talent seeds is only mentioned in the middle pages, and it is also vague and only mentioned briefly...
With a sigh, Colin started reading the next book.
The rustling sound of turning pages of books kept ringing...
After a long time, the sound turned into the snapping sound of crystals.
Just like that, I don’t know how long it took.
Colin reached out towards the wooden tray again, but suddenly found that there were no unread book crystals inside.
After exhaling a long breath, Colin pressed his temples.
Although these books did not contain much useful content, they still opened his eyes after reading them carefully.
In particular, he benefited a lot from the precautions for cultivating talent seeds and taking magic potions, as well as the selection of small details.
This knowledge cannot be purchased outside.
Thinking about the advanced wizard knowledge he bought on Bananka Island, now it seems that the content on it is all unclear.
It's like describing a person who only tells you that he has five senses, a head, two arms, and two legs... It's not wrong, but there really aren't many useful things.
After getting up and returning the borrowed physical books and book crystals, Colin left the castle library.
When I walked out of the door, it was already dark outside, and the sky was pitch black, with only a bright moon hanging high above it.
'Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to find much information about the type and amount of knowledge mastered, and whether it will affect the quality of talent seeds.' He sighed softly in his heart.

The next day.
Altbould Residence.
The study room on the second floor of the villa.
"Will the type or amount of knowledge mastered affect the quality of the talent seeds cultivated, and will it affect the type and quality of future talents?"
In front of the familiar force field floor-to-ceiling window, Altbold sat on a recliner and repeated Colin's question.
"Yes." Colin nodded and added with some confusion:
"Teacher Atbold, if the knowledge you learn is completely mastered will affect the quality of your talent, wouldn't it mean that the more knowledge you learn, the worse the quality of your talent will be when you advance to become a formal wizard?"
"That's not the case." Atbold shook his head, denying his guess.
"To answer this question, you first need to understand a concept - purity."
"Purity?" Colin was confused and looked at Atbold inquiringly.
"Yes, purity. If the part of the learned knowledge that cannot be fully grasped is regarded as the dirty part, then we have the concept of purity."
"The more parts of knowledge that are not completely mastered, the more dirty parts there are, which means the lower the purity."
Thoughts flashed across his mind like lightning. Colin suddenly understood and speculated first:
"I understand, mentor, the lower the purity, the more it affects the quality of the talent.
But purity actually has no strong connection with the amount of knowledge learned.”
"The more knowledge you learn, does not mean the lower the purity...Purity is only related to the degree of thorough mastery. No matter how much knowledge you learn, as long as the degree of thorough mastery is high, the purity will be high and it will not have too much impact.
The quality of talent.”
Atbold nodded and agreed:
"There is no problem with your understanding, it is indeed like this."
"What affects the quality of talent is not the amount of knowledge you have learned that you have not fully mastered, but the proportion."
"No matter how much knowledge you learn, as long as the proportion of the parts you haven't completely mastered remains unchanged, the impact on your talent will not change."
Colin nodded, feeling grateful to have joined the school of thought many times.
Every time he came to ask Altbould a question, he felt as if listening to your words was worth ten years of reading...
"In that case, Teacher Atbold, will the type of knowledge you master affect the type of talents you obtain after advancement?"
He recovered his thoughts and continued to ask.
"It won't happen either." Altbold shook his head and explained briefly:
"The so-called talent is the innate ability."
"The quality of talent may be weakened by acquired influences, but the type effect will not be affected too much by acquired influences."
Having said this, Atbold paused and added:
"Perhaps the only thing that can slightly affect the effect of the talent type is the meditation method used when breaking through... The advanced meditation method opens up the spiritual sea and strengthens the soul."
"And if the soul changes, then the natural talent will also change... The rest, like witchcraft, as long as it does not involve the soul, will not have much impact on the types of talent in the future."
"But it is worth noting that in fact, the soul is something difficult to change. Even advanced meditation methods can only slightly change the surface."
After finishing speaking, Altbold made another vivid metaphor.
"You can understand it this way, if talent is a fruit, then there are countless reasons that can cause it to turn into a rotten fruit, but it is difficult to turn it from an apple to a pear... So the quality of the talent can be affected, but it cannot affect its quality.
Type effects are even more difficult.”
"Understood." Colin nodded, and the doubts in his heart were swept away.
"Thank you, Master Atbold."
He looked at Altbald's old face and felt more respectful in his heart.
