Every morning and evening after meditation, he would have Ellie describe her feelings in detail, and he would personally use the Insight Ring to perform a detailed energy scan and compare the data changes.
The changes were most noticeable in the first week.
Ellie's mental energy activity level increased at a visible rate, and she could feel a significant increase after each day's meditation.
Her perception of basic elemental energy gradually improved from a vague state to being able to capture the slight flow of energy. Although she still couldn't perceive and control it as clearly as those with exceptional talent, it was a qualitative leap.
Most noticeably, her speed and precision in mobilizing natural energy have significantly improved. The process of channeling magical plant energy, which previously required careful and time-consuming steps, has now become much easier.
The changes in the moonflower are equally delightful.
The plant has grown noticeably larger, with new tender leaves constantly emerging. The leaves are thicker and fuller, and the silvery luster is warm and restrained. It no longer only glows at night; even under diffused light during the day, you can see the faint silver halo flowing inside the leaves.
Its energy output is stable and gentle, and its resonance with Ellie's mental field is becoming more and more harmonious, as if the two are really gradually becoming a harmonious whole.
"The symbiotic system is functioning well, and the initial objective has been achieved." Rolin wrote a comment in his notebook, but his brows still showed caution.
"It is necessary to continuously monitor long-term stability, the upper limit of energy cycle efficiency, and whether there are any hidden risks of rejection or dependence."
Q
In the second week, the growth curve began to slow down and entered a plateau period.
Ellie's mental strength was no longer growing as rapidly, and her perception of elemental energy seemed to have hit a bottleneck, making it difficult to go any deeper.
The growth rate of honeysuckle has also slowed down, and its energy output has reached a relatively stable peak.
"We've hit an adaptive bottleneck," Rowling concluded after analyzing the data.
"Ellie's body and mind, and the energy structure of the Moonflower, all need time to adapt to this new, higher-intensity energy cycle pattern."
"Forced breakthroughs may be harmful."
He adjusted the guidance.
Instead of demanding significant progress from Ellie every day, she was encouraged to focus on consolidation and refinement.
Guide her to feel the flow of energy in the symbiotic circuit more delicately, and try to use mental power to smooth out any slight stagnation or fluctuations in the energy flow, just like a craftsman polishing an exquisite object.
Although Ellie was a little anxious, she still strictly followed Rowling's instructions.
She calmed down and spent more time each day listening to the energy rhythm of the moonflower, feeling how that cool and gentle energy flowed, merged, and settled within her body.
She even began to try to actively guide some of the more easily absorbed energy transformed from the moonflower during meditation to nourish and impact the energy nodes corresponding to the fire element that she originally sensed the most vaguely.
This was a small experiment she devised herself based on the energy correspondence principle described by Rowling.
Rowling noticed her actions but didn't stop her. Instead, he encouraged her to record her feelings and data from each attempt.
"Practice is the best teacher. But be careful, and stop immediately if something feels wrong."
In the third week, new waves emerged from the calm.
After finishing her meditation that evening, Ellie's face was somewhat pale, and her brows were slightly furrowed.
"Mr. Luo Lin, just as the meditation was about to end, I felt that the energy flow from the Moon Silver Flower seemed to contain a very faint, cool, and uncomfortable sensation, like tiny ice needles gliding across my skin."
"It was very brief, gone in an instant."
Rowling immediately became alert, telling Ellie to sit down and not move, while he used the Insight Ring to perform the most detailed scan of Ellie's entire body and the Moon Silver Flower.
Soon, he discovered some extremely tiny, discordant energy spikes and localized low-temperature condensation phenomena at the ends of several relatively thin energy channels in Ellie's body, as well as near the energy output interface of the Moon Silver Flower.
"It's due to energy cycle friction and local property deflection," Rowling diagnosed.
"After the symbiotic system has been operating for a period of time, the continuous scouring of energy flow, coupled with your own attempts to guide energy to impact specific nodes, has caused uneven loads on some energy channels, resulting in subtle energy turbulence and attribute accumulation."
"The output interface on the Moon Silver Flower side also experienced slight structural fatigue and attribute shift due to long-term high-frequency energy output, and output a trace of energy with a weak cold property."
The problem isn't serious, but it must be addressed promptly; otherwise, its accumulation could lead to damage to the energy channels or disruption of the symbiotic balance.
"Please suspend deep resonance meditation for the next three days."
"Change to the most basic natural energy perception exercise, without using the energy of the moonflower."
"I will use my star power to help you smooth out those brittle energy channels twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening," Luo Lin instructed.
"For the Moonflower, we need to adjust its energy output structure, repair the fatigue interface, and add a more uniform energy distribution design."
Ellie asked nervously, "Is the moonflower alright? Will it affect it?"
"Don't worry, it's just a minor issue. We can fix it in time," Luo Lin reassured him.
"This is also part of a symbiotic experiment; only by discovering and solving problems can the system become more complete."
For the next three days, Luo Lin spent his days researching and adjusting the energy structure of the Moon Silver Flower, and his nights using the gentlest star power to guide the energy in Ellie's body to flow smoothly, like the most skillful craftsman smoothing out the energy roughness and dispelling the local cold stagnation.
The structural adjustments made to the honeysuckle are more refined.
Luo Lin once again entered that highly focused micro-sculpting state, adding several miniature energy buffers and diversion runes around the Moon Silver Flower energy output interface, optimizing the energy outflow path, and repairing that minor structural fatigue.
The entire adjustment process was much more cautious than the first build, because this time it was being performed online on a living, operational system.
Three days later, the problem was successfully resolved.
Ellie's internal energy flow returned to normal, and the energy output of the Moon Silver Flower became more stable and even. The slight, uncomfortable chill completely disappeared.
This minor setback made both Rowling and Ellie realize the complexity and intricacy of symbiotic systems.
Rowling added more monitoring items to his notebook, especially indicators of energy flow uniformity and property stability.
Ellie also became more attentive, carefully sensing every subtle change in her body before and after each day's meditation.
In the fourth week, everything returned to normal, even better than before.
After adjustments and repairs, the symbiotic system appears to have entered a more harmonious and stable phase.
Ellie's mental strength began to grow slowly but steadily again, and her perception of elemental energy became clearer and more stable.
She even managed to guide a tiny wisp of energy, transformed by the moonflower and repeatedly refined by her own spiritual power, to ignite a small, gentle, orange-yellow flame the size of a fingertip. Although it only lasted for a few seconds before going out, this marked her as having officially stepped into the basic threshold of controlling elemental energy!
At that moment, Ellie's eyes shone brightly as she held the lingering warmth of the extinguished flame, so excited she could barely speak.
As Luo Lin watched this scene, his heart was also stirred.
Although it was just a small, basic step, it meant a lot to Ellie.
This proves that the path of symbiotic awakening can indeed help those lacking talent to open the door to the wizarding world.
The changes in the moonflower are equally noteworthy.
It has not only been fully restored, but its energy structure also appears to have become more robust and efficient due to maintenance and optimization.
The silver halo on the leaves became increasingly solid, and at night, the entire plant resembled a small light source radiating soft moonlight.
Through his insight into the ring's scanning capabilities, Rolin discovered that its internal natural energy interface, after multiple energy surges and Rolin's fine-tuning, showed an extremely faint sign of evolving into a more complex form, as if a deeper potential had been activated.
Symbiosis brings about mutual promotion and evolution.
That afternoon, researcher Duden sent a message inquiring about some data details regarding the stability of the energy structure in the Cornerstone project.
After the call ended, Duden casually mentioned, "By the way, how's your little symbiotic awakening project going?"
"I heard Master Veranika mention it briefly; it's quite an interesting idea."
Rowling briefly introduced the current progress and observed phenomena, omitting Ellie's specific identity and details about the Moon Silver Flower.
After listening, Duden remained silent for a while before slowly saying, "Making up for congenital deficiencies with external things—this is a path that has been considered throughout history, but very few have succeeded. Either the price is huge, or the consequences are endless."
"It's remarkable that you've managed to do this."
"However, Rolin, we must be extra careful about the issues of symbiotic feedback and path dependence."
"When the external system becomes more powerful and efficient than the host itself, the host may unconsciously become overly dependent on it, or even be assimilated by its energy characteristics, losing its independence and development potential."
"This is not an energy conflict, but a more subtle shift in dominance."
Duden's reminder sent a chill down Rollin's spine.
He hasn't really thought about this issue in depth yet.
Although Moonflower currently assists Ellie, it is essentially guided by Ellie's spirit, and its energy is absorbed only after being transformed and harmonized.
But if the Moonflower continues to evolve and becomes more and more powerful, and its energy output becomes more and more refined, will Ellie gradually give up developing her relatively inefficient original energy sensing ability and rely entirely on the Moonflower?
Could the energy properties of the moonflower subtly alter Ellie's own energy attributes?
"I understand, thank you for reminding me, Researcher Duden."
"I will strengthen my observation and guidance in this regard," Luo Lin solemnly responded.
After ending the communication, Rowling also noted Duden's reminder and added an assessment of Ellie's independent energy characteristics and mental dominance to her subsequent observations.
