Atlas of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 475: Situation

Teacher Xue gave an instruction and then said, "The key to refining lies in nurturing. Now, I'll teach you the "nurturing' method that I didn't explain in detail earlier."

Chen Chuan focused and listened attentively again. He could feel that, after being passively guided earlier, his attention was easier to focus.

Teacher Xue said, "The Spirit resides in the body and is generated by it. Therefore, the prerequisite for a Martial Artist to cultivate the Spirit is unwavering belief and a strong body.

So, in the nurturing stage, it's not just about nurturing the Steady Spirit, but also about nurturing Essence Blood. Both are indispensable. Now, I'll first teach you the method of gathering and dispelling Essence Blood."

Since this mostly involves Breathing Technique and the circulation of Internal energy, Teacher Xue was very direct, using the energy field to directly convey the key techniques.

Chen Chuan "s previous method of gathering Essence Blood was learned from the Academy. Now, he felt that this method was related to the previous one, as if it were an evolution based on the original foundation, but more complex and profound.

This method was entirely based on body Skills, coupled with the transmission through the energy field, so he quickly mastered it.

However, he could feel that this teacher's energy field seemed to be just an energy field, as if it were only this existence. But there was nothing inside, nothing could be felt, empty and without a trace.

He thought that the reason for this was probably that the other party's energy field SpiritSkills were incredibly profound, reaching a level that he couldn't fathom.

Seeing that he seemed to understand, Teacher Xue didn't pause and continued with the following content:

"Next, I'll teach you a meditation method for "nurturing the Spirit." I'll give you a detailed explanation first. Also, I'll open up a permission for you on the Academy platform, and you can log in to an internal platform to view it.

There are some accumulated appendices and Q&As on it. If anything is unclear, you can directly go there to check. If it's still unclear, then come and ask me."

As he spoke, he also used the energy field to transmit the meditation method to Chen Chuan , and then said, "There are two keys to the method of nurturing the Spirit: in addition to meditation, it also requires the proper Drugs to cooperate."

He took out a box from his pocket, removed the cover, revealing three thumb-thick, two-inch-long Incenses, and then pushed them in front of Chen Chuan .

"In the "calming the mind' stage, you first use this in conjunction with meditation. This kind of Incense can be purchased in the Academy. It's not very valuable in itself, but it will be very effective when used in conjunction with the meditation method I taught you. I see that Chen student "s Steady Spirit is very abundant, you should have learned a relatively Gao Ming meditation method, right?"

Chen Chuan nodded. He was using the method that Senior Brother Cao had previously passed on to him.

Teacher Xue said, "Meditation methods are very particular. Different stages require different Drugs to cooperate, just like you Martial CombatCultivation all the way, gradually using different Drugs is the same reason. Some people don't lack meditation methods, but lack matching Drugs.

Also, Gao Ming meditation methods actually require special medicinal incense, so that the effect is multiplied, but the more such meditation methods, the more difficult it is to obtain the required Drugs.

In the old days, the National religion had "Tai Bai Boundary Observation," and the Old Imperial Family had a "Riding Dragon Great Change," which were among the most Gao Ming meditation methods. It is said that there are still people who know them today, but the matching Incense can no longer be found.

So, although the meditation method itself is good, the effect of practicing the meditation method alone may be only one-tenth or one-twelfth of the original, or perhaps even less. Well, I'm digressing. This Incense doesn't last long, so it's best to use it in the next few days."

Chen Chuan said, "This student understands."

Teacher Xue then got up from the ground and said, "Well, it's getting late. Today's class will end here. I'll be here for a semester and will try my best to teach you everything I should teach you. But how much you can learn depends on Chen student yourself."

Chen Chuan also got up. At this time, he glanced at the Boundary Token and found that unknowingly, more than three hours had passed, but it felt like less than half an hour had passed.

He bowed and said, "Thank you teacher for your guidance. I will need teacher to worry about me in the future."

Teacher Xue smiled and said, "I was sent here by the above, so there's no need to thank me. It didn't take me much effort to teach Chen student you. I'm taking this salary with ease. Okay, I should go too. Well, before I leave, I want to ask you one more question."

Chen Chuan said, "teacher , please speak."

Teacher Xue stroked his chin and said, "Chen student , do you think the Spirit can exist independently of the body?"

Chen Chuan thought carefully for a moment and said, "Based on my current understanding, I believe the two should be one, indispensable. Neither can exist without the other. But the current world is changing dramatically, so this is just my judgment based on the current situation, and it may not be correct."

Teacher Xue smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and only said, "Then Chen student , when you have mastered the mind-calming method, still here, at the appointed time, I will be here waiting for you."

Chen Chuan thought to himself, teacher , I'll be here waiting for you.

He said, "teacher , take care."

Teacher Xue grunted, waved his hand, and walked out, soon leaving the Training room.

Chen Chuan looked at the sunlight shining in from outside. Today,

what he learned undoubtedly opened a new door in front of him. After learning these, he would be able to push his own Strength to a higher level. Thinking of this, his heart was full of anticipation.

He stood in the warm, dazzling light for a while, then turned and left.

Back in the dormitory, a prompt tone popped up on the Boundary Token. He looked at it and saw that it was a link to the internal platform sent by Teacher Xue .

He clicked on it on the light curtain, and the interface immediately switched to a platform, which was full of questions and answers about various meditation methods. The meditation method he was learning seemed to be among them, but it didn't involve the specific content of the meditation method.

Some questions had already been answered, while others were still unresolved.

When he tried to browse, the platform prompted him that with his current permissions, he could only view the content of the meditation method he was learning, and he could only ask one question per month.

But he could increase his permissions by answering other people's questions. The identity would not be directly displayed here, but he had to set an identity, or take a platform code name.

He thought for a while, then took a word each from his nickname and Snow Emperor Blade and entered the two words "Chan Jun".

He realized the great value of this platform, but he didn't have any questions to ask yet. He had to wait until he started practicing and then come here to find answers if he encountered any problems during practice.

After watching for a while, he exited from it.

Teacher Xue said that he would only stay for one semester, and said that he would teach as much as he could learn, so his learning progress could not be slow, and at the same time it had to be steady. Otherwise, if the foundation was not solid, he would not be able to learn too much.

He took out some Drugs and decided to try the method of condensing Essence Blood taught by Teacher Xue first. He knew very well that this was the most fundamental thing, and there was no need to talk about the rest if he didn't master this.

After sitting down, he took the Drugs, and then slowly adjusted his breathing, GuideMutated Tissue to absorb Medicinal effects.

Essence Blood is usually nurtured from Mutated Tissue and finally accumulated in the heart. This mainly relies on the transformation and stimulation of Drugs. The more Drugs can be absorbed and transformed in this process, the more Essence Blood can be obtained, and the more efficient the Breathing Technique will be.

This time Guide, it took about an hour, and the amount of Essence Blood accumulated was significantly more than before. This was his first attempt. After he became proficient, the accumulation over time should be considerable.

When Teacher Xue taught him the method of gathering Essence Blood, he also taught him a method of dispelling it. This is a method to resolve Medicinal effects, and it is also part of the Breathing Technique.

Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to use it after each Cultivation. If you don't do it, the accumulated drug toxins will cause harm to Martial Artist over time.

It is worth mentioning that the previous storage method did not have this step, so drug toxins usually accumulate.

Although this will take a lot more time, it eliminates hidden dangers. This step is undoubtedly indispensable for ordinary Martial Artist , and even if it takes more time, the accumulated Essence Blood is still more than the original.

However, he has Second Self to transfer these, so there is no need to worry about this, so this time can be saved.

After practicing the gathering method, the next step is the refining method.

Teacher Xue said that the Incense has a Time limit and should be used as soon as possible, so he directly took one and lit it.

After a while, a mist like light clouds emerged from the Incense, enveloping him, and a faint fragrance entered his nose, and his mind suddenly became peaceful. Immediately, he began to nurture and gather Steady Spirit according to the steps of the meditation method.

In less than two hours, all three Incenses were used up. He came out of the meditative state, only to feel that his own Spirit had been washed once, and his mind was extraordinarily clear.

At this time, he saw two unread voice messages on the Boundary Token, and clicked on them on the light curtain.

One was sent by Wu Han , saying that he had completed a Commission with Old Qi in the past two days, and the process was very smooth, and he got the money quickly, saying that the person he introduced was very reliable.

He also said that he had not seen anyone tailing him yet, but he would pay attention at any time and would notify him if there was a problem.

The other message was sent by Lu Fang , saying that he had returned from Yang Zhi and had just arrived in Central City today, and had returned to the Martial Combat hall.

He replied to both of them, got up and did a set of Zheng San Shou^[-], moved his muscles and bones, ate a few Nutrition Pastes, and sat down. Next, he would officially start the Cultivation of the refining method.

This kind of pure self-Spirit Cultivation, Second Self can't help much at present. Although he can use some things to assist, such as the Jade Core of High Heaven Jade that he just got.

Even if this thing is not made into Drugs, it can boost the Spirit, which can undoubtedly play a role in assisting Cultivation. However, he thought about it, let's wait for the future. The first time trying the refining method, it is best to rely purely on oneself to calm the mind.
