Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

Chapter 80 The Method of Visualization (Please Subscribe)

Zhou Ling sat cross-legged under the Fire Essence Maple Tree, placing the jade slip of "Qinghui Nourishing Spirit Technique" on his forehead.

As the divine sense was focused, a burst of light surged on the jade slip.

It transformed into three streams of light and fell into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Zhou Ling was slightly startled; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Fortunately, this jade slip was obtained from my master, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Upon closer inspection, the three streaks of light shone with a crystalline white radiance, shining like three white jade seals.

He focused his divine sense into the first jade seal.

Zhou Ling quickly learned the first level of the "Qinghui Nourishing Spirit Technique".

The manual specifically states that only those whose spiritual sense has reached the late stage of Qi Refining and who possess unwavering willpower can cultivate it.

However, Zhou Ling thought that he was now at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and his divine sense, after being tempered by the [Illusion Simulation], was much stronger than that of an ordinary fifth level Qi Refining cultivator.

It shouldn't be a big problem.

Of course, as Master just reminded us, it's best to wait until you reach the late stage of Qi Refining before cultivating the Divine Soul Technique.

In addition, the manual also introduces some auxiliary spiritual items, such as the Azure Soul Grass and the Jade Soul Pill.

As for what grade of cultivation technique it is, it is not explained in the text.

However, Zhou Ling didn't take it to heart. Having a divine soul cultivation technique to practice was already a blessing!
He could no longer be so greedy.

After all, he hadn't forgotten that he was just a rogue cultivator living at the very bottom of Lingxia Immortal City.

Divine Soul Cultivation Techniques are extremely precious; even Foundation Establishment families may not possess them.

Zhou Lingxuan calmed his mind and immersed himself in the process, beginning to try to comprehend and cultivate.

Even though it contained the cultivation experience of many masters, he still found it somewhat difficult.

This spiritual cultivation technique is obscure and difficult to understand.

One must comprehend the Dharma formula and then use the jade seal to comprehend and visualize it.

One can also gain different insights and experiences by contemplating different things in the world.

However, in the early stages, the main focus is on visualizing the jade seal formed by the jade slip technique in the sea of ​​consciousness.

After all, all things in the universe have different attributes, and what you gain through visualization may not necessarily be suitable for you.

Some practices may backfire, not only hindering cultivation but also causing fluctuations in the soul, resulting in harm rather than benefit.

The visualization image condensed within the jade seal is relatively safe and also conforms to the attributes of the cultivation technique.

"No wonder Master said we needed the illusionary aid of the Fire Spirit Maple Tree!"

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

Zhou Ling held his breath and focused intently on the jade seal in his sea of ​​consciousness.

A red light gradually appeared on the jade seal, slowly condensing into the outline of a maple tree.

Its appearance seems similar to that of the Fire Spirit Maple Tree.

It's just a bit blurry.

But as Zhou Ling concentrated his mind, preparing to look deeper into the field again, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his sea of ​​consciousness, followed by a tearing pain.

The maple tree seemed to transform into flames and streams of light, flowing into my sea of ​​consciousness.

The small sea of ​​consciousness seemed to suddenly burst into flames, the rising fire gradually consuming its own divine sense.

With every inch the flames extend, the pain intensifies.

The flames continued to spread, and the more divine consciousness was burned away, the more the sea of ​​consciousness dried up, as if a wildfire was raging and divine consciousness was constantly turning into ashes.

A raging fire appeared before his eyes, as if it were about to devour him.

Zhou Ling couldn't help but cover his head with both hands, letting out a painful scream, and collapsed to the ground.

Rolling all over the floor.

[You are currently practicing the "Qinghui Nourishing Spirit Technique," your resilience and determination increase by 1, and your proficiency in the "Qinghui Nourishing Spirit Technique" increases by 10.] [You are currently practicing the "Qinghui Nourishing Spirit Technique," your innate talent increases by 1, and your proficiency in the "Qinghui Nourishing Spirit Technique" increases by 2.]

[You are currently practicing the "Qinghui Nourishing Spirit Technique". Illusion Simulation +1, Divine Sense +1]

[You are currently practicing the "Qinghui Nourishing Spirit Technique". Spiritual awareness training +1, spiritual awareness +2]

As the notification sound rang out, Zhou Ling felt a cool sensation emerge in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The parched sea of ​​consciousness felt as if it had been blessed with rain after a long drought, instantly becoming thoroughly refreshed.

A sense of relief washed over me.

Only then did he realize that he was still sitting cross-legged under the Fire Spirit Maple Tree, but his whole body was soaked.

He was panting heavily, breathing deeply, as if he had just experienced a terrible nightmare.

As his consciousness gradually calmed down and stabilized.

He took a deep breath, and his mood gradually calmed down. He focused his mind again and decisively poured it into the first jade seal of the "Qinghui Nourishing Spirit Technique".

This time, as he focused his mind, a faint red glow appeared on the jade seal in an instant, reflecting back into his sea of ​​consciousness.

It was exactly the shape of that Fire Spirit Maple Tree.

At first, nothing seemed particularly unusual, but as the figure of the Fire Essence Maple Tree became clearer, a mysterious feeling emerged in his mind.

The next moment, the Fire Spirit Maple Tree slowly dissipated, and wisps of flame light merged into the sea of ​​consciousness.

Zhou Ling felt that his divine sense had become significantly stronger at this moment.

But when he was about to continue visualizing the mark, it became blurry again.

Zhou Ling frowned, thinking to himself, "It seems that cultivating and visualizing the imprint condensed by the Qinghui Nourishing Spirit Technique will consume a lot of spiritual energy."

"Moreover, it far exceeded my expectations, which is why it was noted in front of the mark that those with insufficient spiritual sense should not cultivate it."

"After all, such visualization carries the risk of going astray and becoming possessed by demons if one is not careful."

"My master just reminded me that my cultivation level is too low, and it is not suitable for me to cultivate the soul technique."

"This 'Qinghui Nourishing Spirit Technique' requires the spiritual sense of the late stage of Qi Refining to be sufficient for visualization, and my current spiritual sense cultivation is indeed still somewhat lacking."

"Fortunately, I have the talent of [the more setbacks I encounter], which allows me to see the fire spirit maple tree on the mark at crucial moments."

"Now I've entered the basics, and I can continue to practice slowly in the future."

"With the help of the talents [The More You Fail, the Stronger You Become] and [Divine Sense Training], if you continue to cultivate, you will eventually be able to stabilize the phantom of the Fire Essence Maple Tree."

After thinking it over, Zhou Ling continued to sit cross-legged and meditate, slowly restoring his consciousness until it was full again.

He tried to look at the first mark again, and the phantom of the fire spirit maple tree that he had just seen slowly condensed.

"Today's practice of the 'Qinghui Nourishing Spirit Technique' ends here. Cultivation is a gradual process; one must not rush into it!"

Just as Zhou Ling was about to continue watching, he heard his master's voice.

Then the scene before him changed, and he was sitting cross-legged under the Fire Spirit Maple Tree.

"Not bad, young Ling. You were able to see the mark completely on your first attempt at practicing the Qinghui Nourishing Spirit Technique without fainting. Your spiritual foundation is quite good!"

Zi Ling sat quietly on the bamboo chair, put down the wine gourd, and said with a tone of appreciation.

"Master, what I saw was a Fire Essence Maple Tree?" Zhou Ling stood up and asked respectfully.

"Yes! You can cultivate slowly in the future. With your current level of cultivation, there's no need to rush!"

Zi Ling yawned and gave some instructions.

"Yes, Master!" Zhou Ling nodded quickly.

I originally thought that with my talent, I could practice more and nothing would happen.

There must be a reason why Master reminded me like this.

Seeing that his master had stopped talking, he went to find Wang Xin to watch her learn the zither.
