I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 237: Forced to Strip Away the Illusion, the Importance of Dual Cultivation of Sex and Life

An illusion? Or is it a sign of a cute beginning?

Su Fan only had time to think of this question before he felt a strong sense of dizziness sweeping over him.

Mental erosion.

Stronger than before.

Many terrifying and colorful illusions began to flash before Su Fan’s eyes.

Even he couldn't see these illusions clearly. To ordinary people, they looked like a chaotic flash of light.

In my ears, the regular sound of the tides gradually grew louder. At the same time, the sea surface shrouded in gray fog gradually began to move slightly.

Something "existence" is coming.

Is it the real thing? Or is this just a prelude?
But at this moment, Su Fan no longer cared about these external movements.

He could feel his senses being distorted and polluted, and he wanted to resist, but he couldn't completely contain it.

If this continues, Su Fan would probably suffer serious damage before the monster in the sea officially emerges.

He had a splitting headache, but despite the great fear and erosion, he forced himself to look up, wanting to see the changes that had taken place in the ocean!
It was at this moment that a distorted and expanding dialog box appeared in Su Fan's mind.

Are the system's dialog boxes distorted as well?

No...that's not right...it's the mental erosion that has deepened.

【warn……】

[By touching the book with strange power, you are pulled into some unspeakable fantasy. ]

[You came into contact with items left behind by a high-level mysterious being too early, which had an impact on your spirit and soul.]

[The situation is urgent, and forced separation is being carried out immediately. ]

The moment the dialog box appeared, all the scenes in front of me disappeared.

The ocean, gray fog, and dilapidated dock that we had seen before have turned back into floor tiles and bookshelves.

Su Fan took a few deep breaths, and when he felt his spirit gradually stabilized, he raised his head again.

A stream of warm blood flowed from the tip of his nose. Su Fan raised his hand to wipe it away and saw a hint of bright red.

From beginning to end, he never saw the true source of the book's power.

Simply by being pulled into the illusion, the intensity of mental erosion increased exponentially.

So much so that the system appeared and forcibly intervened.

It was correct to let the Winchester brothers leave first.

If they were involved, there would be no other possibility except losing their minds and going completely crazy.

[High-level mysterious existence...]

The key words in the system description emerged in Su Fan's mind.

Could it be the so-called higher-dimensional creatures?

In the past, people on the Internet used the term dimensionality reduction attack to describe the obvious and hopeless gap between the two sides.

When higher-dimensional creatures attack lower-dimensional creatures, the latter have almost no ability to fight back.

Su Fan thought for a moment and shook his head.

It is impossible for higher-dimensional creatures to descend directly into low-dimensional space.

Saying that you have no ability to fight back at all will only increase the enemy's prestige and destroy your own morale.

As long as a high-dimensional being appears in a low-dimensional space, it means it has lowered its own strength.

As long as the health bar is visible, there is always a strategy to overcome it.

But obviously, the other party's current level is much higher than Su Fan.

Not to mention a face-to-face fight, I'm afraid that if that long blood bar gets a little closer, Su Fanchuang will vomit blood.

Fortunately, due to systematic forced intervention, the other party did not seem to notice Su Fan's existence.

He had a feeling that if he was watched by the being that emerged from the sea, he would definitely be targeted by it. "At least I still have time to practice and improve my strength."

Thinking of this, Su Fan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

What on earth is this place...

Any perverted murder family you encounter will have this kind of thing in their study.

Su Fan weighed the book in his hand, wrapped it in paper, turned around and left the house.

After returning to the antique shop, Su Fan did not start practicing immediately, but began to restore his slightly polluted spirit.

It is worth mentioning that when the book was brought back, the astrologer ghost showed great hostility and panic.

If Su Fan hadn't still held her soul contract, she would probably have escaped to somewhere unknown.

The situation gradually improved after Su Fan used talismans to seal the book.

During the days when Su Fan was away, Ron kept the antique shop in order, and even taught himself some appraisal knowledge in his spare time.

The two or three scattered antiques that were collected were not judged wrongly.

It was only when he saw the other party's excellent performance that Su Fan suddenly remembered that the other party was a top student at Stanford University, and also a PhD in the extremely difficult medical field.

Academic qualifications do not necessarily represent ability, but in most cases they can represent a person's learning efficiency and the speed at which they master knowledge.

He is so outstanding that Su Fan even wants to keep him as a long-term employee of the antique shop.

However, it's just a thought.

News came from New Orleans that there was an important meeting within the Mayfair family and the head of the family needed to attend in person.

Ron had no choice but to say goodbye to Su Fan and board a private plane to New Orleans.

After leaving the antique shop, she became the helmsman of the billionaire family again.

Su Fan, who stayed in the store, also felt a little cold, but soon he calmed down and devoted himself to his daily practice.

After he left, Su Fan's life returned to normal.

It’s just that compared to before, the focus of practice is slightly different.

The last mental attack made Su Fan realize his own shortcomings in character.

This weakness is fully exposed in the face of advanced mental interference.

Therefore, the previous practice method which only focused on cultivation was changed.

I chant the meditation mantra every morning and evening, and increase my daily work on the state of mind.

Only after starting did Su Fan realize how wise this decision was.

Many ancient sages such as Huang Lao, Lie and Zhuangzi have emphasized the importance of cultivating both sex and life, and the importance of comprehensive physical and spiritual practice to achieve the highest level of perfection.

This idea has profoundly influenced Chinese culture and many myths and legends.

In his previous life, Su Fan was always able to see a lot of foreign literature and film and television works that described and explored the impact of immortality on people.

Most of the content is about the sadness of the theory of life span, and how the protagonist cannot bear the heaviness of a long life and wants to die because he has had enough of it, or how his humanity has been erased over the long years, making his mind twisted and numb.

But what’s interesting is that in all the Chinese myths, there has never been any mention of someone who has achieved great enlightenment and lived as long as heaven, but whose mind can change for the worse.

Su Fan thought that part of the reason was that whether it was the people who made up the myths and legends or the people who listened to these stories, they all assumed that those who obtained the immortal fruit must have a mentality that matched it.

As time goes by, Su Fan can gradually feel the changes in himself.

The connection between the many magical powers and skills is more flexible and the application is more meticulous.

The spiritual trauma that Su Fan had suffered from the book illusion was almost healed within half a month.

Of course, Su Fan also did not neglect the cultivation of his own realm and body.

While he was recuperating, Sheriff Dyson came to visit and talked to Su Fan about the recent developments among the top politicians in Los Angeles.

The son of a city councilor was exposed by the media for serious crimes against humanity.

The situation was not buried as usual, but instead escalated.

The congressman was removed from office, his son was thrown into prison, and his wife seemed to have become insane due to the drastic changes. She eventually got into a serious car accident and died on the spot.
