Xuan Weizi left the samadhi and sat in the tent. Four gems were placed on the ground around him, forming a small psychic protective barrier.
Even if Heng Yizi is Xuan Weizi's protective general, Xuan Weizi still needs to enter a deep state of concentration in order to use his body to talk to Sandori in the distance and to use additional psychic powers.
In order to ensure safety, Xuan Weizi found four unprocessed gemstones from the dimensional pockets of the Arcane Guards, and used the technique of "injecting energy into the stone" to separate the "force field barrier", "inert barrier" and "astral protection".
And "triggering" is injected into it.
At the same time, during the energy injection process, connect the four with your own spirit. When you are in a state of trance, the three defensive abilities will be automatically triggered and maintained automatically. Once the spiritual energy consumption reaches a certain level, it will
Remind Xuan Weizi to withdraw his power, this of course also includes when he is attacked.
Xuan Weizi blinked and saw Titus sitting not far away, sorting out magic materials. When he saw himself opening his eyes, he asked guiltily: "You, are you awake? I saw you sleeping for a long time, so
I just found something to do by myself.”
"I'm not sleeping." Xuan Weizi said.
"That's right, who sleeps sitting up like this?" Theus asked again: "But wouldn't you feel too tired with your legs entangled like this? I just learned to sit for a while, and my legs were numb.
Numb."
Xuan Weizi looked down at his cross-legged posture. It was just a very common cross-legged posture, not a cross-legged posture with his legs crossed.
"You mages also use meditation to restore spells. So how do you usually do it?" Xuan Weizi asked instead.
Theus became interested and introduced: "Generally, we first look at whether there is a specialized school. As you know, our mages are divided into eight schools. The thinking forms and logical structures of different schools are also different. On this basis,
Constructing spell slots is like the constellations in the night sky, each with its own different distribution position and movement rules. This also leads to the fact that if a mage has a specialized school, there will be a corresponding banned school."
"I understand this. After all, everyone's cognitive style is more or less different. If I am not wrong, there should be a universal basic meditation method, right? After all, there are also mages who choose the path of being a generalist in all schools." Xuan Wei
Zi asked.
"Yes, there is, but that road is really difficult." Theus said: "Most of the currently known high mages have specialized schools. Speaking of meditation, the word originally came from high elves.
, the legend is related to their talents, and when it comes to human mages, they just borrow this term, and it is not essentially like the high elves who restore magic through meditation."
"Do you mages also know about elves?" Xuan Weizi asked.
"A little bit, but they are basically records in some books. I have never seen an elf myself." Theus ignored the deviation of the topic and continued: "A mage's meditation is actually the deconstruction of spell slots and the reconstruction of spell slots."
The process of constructing. Because every time you cast a spell, it will bring a burden to the spirit. If you cannot maintain the spell position through meditation, in the long run, your spell casting ability will be damaged. This is why the mage needs to memorize spells frequently. It is not that the mage must memorize spells every time.
The spell is forgotten the first time you cast it, and you need to adjust the spell slot itself."
Xuan Weizi nodded secretly. When he first traveled to this world, he learned a lot about ancient wizards' spellcasting that caused physical illness, disability, and even madness. From this point of view, the spellcasting ability of this world
, many of them will hurt themselves. On the contrary, the mage's arcana has found a relatively stable and safe path.
"As for the method of meditation." Theus said: "I won't mention those wandering mages or adventurers who have nothing. Like us here, we just use incense... Well, that's it."
Theus took out a pottery incense burner that looked like a teapot from under the bed next to it. There were patterned grilles on both sides, and special spices were contained inside.
Xuan Weizi put his head over and smelled it, then silently practiced the alchemy skills for a while, frowning and said: "This thing is easy to become addicted if you smell it too much, and the further you go, the greater the amount you need."
"Well... I've already figured it out. I heard that the alchemy herbal plantations on the southern coast of the New World specialize in growing powerful incense herbs, which can also improve meditation ability." Theus said, but he couldn't help but think of this mystery in his heart.
Dr. Lanso often enters a meditative state without knowing what he is doing.
Xuan Weizi said: "Relying on drugs is never a good thing. If you take them for a long time, the human body will develop adverse diseases."
Theus snickered and said: "Then if you really can't solve it, go find those magic sticks. Pretend to convert and accept baptism, and naturally there will be bishop-level figures to treat it."
"Is this okay?" Xuan Weizi looked surprised.
"Isn't it just a matter of money?" Theus said with a smile: "Whether you are a regional bishop or a senior priest, you don't have to make a living? The age of asceticism is long gone!"
Xuan Weizi also laughed along and asked: "Are there any other methods to assist meditation?"
"Yes, there is, but the next step is to spend a lot of money to do it." Theus said: "Our Pentagram Tower has developed a meditation chair full of crystal, a meditation room, and even a 'sanctuary'
The 'Mage's Mansion' has been transformed into a 'Crystal Plane' that assists meditation. I see, Dr. Olanso, that you are also very knowledgeable about meditation. Why don't you learn more about our products? If you sign up for an annual membership, there will be discounts. If so.
Life-long membership, as well as one-to-one service from a mage assistant.”
"???" Xuan Weizi was full of questions. How could the mage who was explaining meditation techniques just now turn into a salesman in the blink of an eye?
"It's a pity that I have no money and am just a doctor in a remote area." Xuan Weizi sighed and shook his head.
Titus lowered his voice at this time and said: "Doctor Olanso, our Pentagram Tower is not like the Eye of Mystery, which believes that arcana has an unshakable supremacy. The Pentagram Tower has been actively absorbing the outstanding talents of spellcasters from all sides.
Skills, especially spellcasting systems that are rarely spread like the psion, are very welcome in our Pentagram Tower!"
When Xuan Weizi heard this, he immediately became serious and scolded: "Your Excellency Titus, I have killed many of your colleagues! Can you actually win over your enemies with such peace of mind? Where is your conscience? Your compassion
What? Aren’t you afraid of dreaming about their souls crying out to you at night?”
Theus was startled and almost thought that the other party was going to silence him. It was obvious that Xuan Weizi did not do anything except scolding him, so he bravely said: "Doctor Olanso, we were just following orders. Now things have gone wrong.
, of course we have to find ways to make up for it. And although all the forces now have no time to take care of Chai Dui Town, as long as the peace treaty is signed in the spring, the Pentagram Tower will definitely pay attention to this place again. Doctor, you are a person who knows how to adapt, and I also hope to save it.
The result of failure.”
In fact, in terms of power, manpower, material resources, and financial resources, the Pentagram Tower is not as good as the Eye of Mystery. In order to narrow the gap, the Pentagram Tower is very active in researching alternative spell-casting techniques and making various advancements based on arcana.
development.
Titus has seen Xuan Weizi's psychic skills. Just being able to seal the spell casting ability is enough to win the favor of the Pentagram Tower. And looking at the attitude of other people communicating with Xuan Weizi, Tius
Guess he should be an advanced spellcaster.
If you can win over a high-level psychic, Tius might be able to avoid punishment for his failure in this mission. If you can have a good relationship with this "Doctor Olenso" and learn some alternative skills, what kind of alternative skills can you learn in the future?
There is no guarantee that he will have a place among the ranks of high mages.
Xuan Weizi glanced at Titus and said in his heart: "It's no wonder that others are so resentful towards you mages. You are very greedy for utilitarianism and will do anything for your own selfishness. For those who have simple values of good and evil.
People like this are really not suitable to hang out with mages."
However, Xuanweizi has no special opinion about Titus's attitude. Speaking of it, he used to be a very selfish person. He believes that alchemy is inherently "selfish" and that everything in the world is for his own practice.
He has even been criticized for putting his own selfishness above all sentient beings and pretending that his own mind is the mind of heaven.
It’s just that the selfishness of cultivators is different from the selfishness of ordinary people. Ordinary people’s souls are covered in dust, and their minds follow things. The so-called selfishness is just following all internal and external conditions, changing constantly, and just for the beauty in their eyes.
, With delicious food in your mouth, you rush to work. The so-called selfishness is actually harmful to yourself.
The selfishness of those who practice Taoism is the ability to keep their souls clear and always respond to things. Since we know that this life is rare, of course we must cherish ourselves. This is also the original intention of Taoism cultivation.
I have no control over my destiny. How "selfish" is this.
Before Xuan Weizi could think of how to answer, he sensed someone approaching in his soul. He used the method of controlling objects to open the tent curtain door through the air, and saw Wolf coming outside with a double-edged giant ax on his back.
"If anything happens, come in and talk." Xuan Weizi said.
Wolf came into the tent unhappy and said to Xuan Weizi: "Doctor, are you really not going to go back to town?"
Xuan Weizi knew that he was definitely gathering the townspeople to transform his stone hut into a chapel. Everything was going so smoothly, as if a miracle was about to come to this remote place.
It's a small town.
"In this situation, it's better to stay away from them." Xuan Weizi chuckled.
Wolf glanced at Titus beside him and said: "Doctor, I have no objection to you communicating with the mages. But what should we do if other mages come to investigate us for ambushing and killing people in the future?"
"You can tell me what you think." Xuan Weizi raised his hand, and Tius was frozen in place, unable to move, and deprived of his five senses, and said: "Don't worry, just say it."
"Run away now!" Wolf said: "Don't worry about Woodpile Town anymore, run as far as you can!"
"Where to run?" Xuan Weizi said.
"You can go anywhere!" Wolf said: "Of course, don't go directly east, that will be obvious. I mean south, leave the Golden Crown Wood Dominion. Cross the Dogtooth Mountains and go to the Great Plains to the south."
Xuan Weizi smiled and said: "You put it lightly. Different autonomous territories have different laws and regulations, just like different countries. And are other places really safe? The more developed a place is, the more competition it will naturally have. And
Changing places doesn't mean that I still have the advantages I have now. Your skills are even less useful. Is it possible that you want to become an adventurer or a mercenary? And as far as I know, the situation in the south is more chaotic, right? It's the same as fighting
If you want to avoid chaos, it may not be better than Chaidui Town."
When Wolf heard this, he lowered his head and remained silent. Xuan Weizi said: "Wolf, what kind of life do you want? Is it the boring and peaceful life before in Woodpile Town? Or is it an adventure that can unleash the rage in your body?"
"I don't know, I'm so confused. There are more and more things going on in the town, and I can't handle them anymore." Wolf picked up a stone and threw it to the ground in frustration.
"Then why don't you want to leave by yourself?" Xuan Weizi said: "With your skills, it is not difficult to survive in the wilderness, and you can change your life in different villages and towns. Why do you want to ask me? Think about it carefully,
What kind of thoughts are buried in your heart?"
"I...maybe I'm afraid." Wolf said: "Actually, the days in Chai Dui Town were not so peaceful in the past. Without you, the doctor, to take care of Chai Dui Town, I'm afraid Chai Dui Town would have been destroyed by the natives."
"If the heart is biased, internal demons will arise. When internal demons arise, seven emotions will arise and six desires will arise." Xuan Weizi started his telepathy and said: "The Qi passes through the purple mansion, the gods fall into the Huangting, and the demonic realm grows randomly. The demonic realm is not only frightening.
There are also sages, sages, demons, immortals, Buddhas, demons, aspirational demons, and sensual pleasure demons. All kinds of troubles cause the consciousness to be disturbed. Internal demons are raging, acting without reason, and making progress and retreat at a loss..."
The inner secrets of the elixir transmitted into the mind through telepathy are not just simple words, but also include the practice of regulating and controlling one's own nature.
Wolfe is not like Sandori, who has the foundation of spirit magic; nor is he like Rosalind, who is a magical beast and has the ability to escape from ordinary thinking and judgment; nor is he an established spellcaster like Tar Valon.
Since he was transformed into a berserker at an early age, Wolf's physical and mental development process was severely distorted. In Xuan Weizi's view, it was a typical case of both physical and mental deviation.
Xuan Weizi said before that he wanted to change the problem of Wolf's violent transformation. He was not just saying it casually. He also did not intend to simply make any psychic items to suppress the violent power in Wolf's body. Instead, he wanted Wolf to rely on his own efforts to overcome the violent transformation.
The body and mind that have sunk into a manic and demonic state are rescued.
Therefore, compared to Sanduoli's "Soul Refining and Spiritualization", or Rosalian's "Reincarnation and Shapeshifting" and Demonic Guidance Technique, what Xuan Weizi taught Wolf was the most authentic method of alchemy.
And it points directly to the nature of the mind.
Use tranquility to control agitation, use calmness to break obsessions, do not rely on external things to influence the rage, but reveal the true nature of tranquility.
Without this ability, no matter how many psychic items Xuan Weizi makes, it is impossible to completely improve Wolf's violent transformation. Only one's own power can be truly controlled, and Xuan Weizi hopes to see people who can change themselves.
ability.
The alchemy path that is cultivated by oneself alone is not called the alchemy path. This is the door-to-door heart of a person who cultivates the Tao.
Wolf, who was telepathically brought into the secret realm of the alchemy path, was like a big dream, in a daze, and he didn't know how much he could understand.
Xuan Weizi raised his hand and flicked it. Tius was shaken and woke up from the confinement. He gasped and said, "What happened just now? I suddenly can't feel anything in the outside world!"
"If you really want to understand psychic powers, just recall the feeling just now." Xuan Weizi stood up with a smile and said, "Now you all come with me, there is a little thing coming to visit."
