Swallowing the Stars Starts with the Brewing Master

Chapter 57: Enlightenment in the Sutra Library (Part )
At the same time, Chu He was sitting by the window in the Huashan Sutra Library, holding an ancient book in his hands.

Light a stick of sandalwood, pour a cup of good wine, and feel at ease.

Three days ago, the snow lotus wine was brewed, and Chu He immediately poured a full cup to experience it.

The wine is clear, like a piece of flawless jade. It is slightly cool when you take it, but this coolness rushes straight into your brain like the snow on the Tianshan Mountains, and lingers for a long time.

With the help of this cool feeling, when Chu He read the "Foundations of Spiritual Master" again, the various spiritual attack secrets that were already clear to him suddenly became as clear as reading lines on the palm of his hand.

Not only can you capture every slight change in it, but you can also draw inferences from one instance, trace the root cause, and understand why this slight change occurred.

"Spiritual power can be virtual or real."

"In reality, it can control objects through the air and kill enemies from a hundred meters away."

"If you are empty, you will be silent and kill people with illusions."

“The aggregation is silent, and the changes are unpredictable.”

After a while, the chill subsided. Chu He closed his eyes and tried to recall the contents of the secret book. The parts that he had fully understood and mastered before were naturally not forgotten and were firmly imprinted in his mind.

Not only that, although the short-term enlightenment and spiritual awakening effect of that cup of snow lotus wine disappeared, it allowed Chu He to clearly remember his way of thinking at that time.

Compared with his original way of thinking, it is more comprehensive and in-depth.

If Chu He could measure the width of his brain at this time, he would easily find that after drinking snow lotus wine, the width of his brain has permanently increased by 3 points.

Brain breadth refers to the degree of brain development. To put it in a more mysterious way, it is the ability to comprehend.

Although Chu He didn't know exactly how much the width of his brain had increased, a little understanding suddenly arose in his mind.

"Is it because it's my first time drinking it that my brain width has increased so much?"

"If you continue to drink it, the short-term effect will remain the same, but it's obviously impossible to imagine that one glass of wine can increase your energy levels so much like this time."

"Furthermore, as you drink snow lotus wine more often, the effect of increasing brain width will gradually disappear, and only a short-term effect will remain."

Chu He nodded slightly, this was in line with common sense.

If the width of the brain could continue to increase, it would be too terrifying.

Taking a deep breath, Chu He temporarily suppressed the urge to refill his cup. Recalling that state of enlightenment, he tried his best to reread the "Foundations of Spiritual Mind Master" in his hand using the same way of thinking as at that time.

“It’s really basic knowledge!”

Now, there is no longer any difficulty in his eyes regarding the entire book.

Even the eighteen kinds of mental attack secrets, their structural forms, combination logic, and key points of mental power operation were all clearly visible in Chu He's mind.

"Well, if I want to, it seems quite simple to create a new secret method based on these eighteen secret methods." Chu He looked a little strange.

Although he had fully mastered these secret techniques before, the fact that he could not only fully master them but even create a secret technique with similar power with just a glass of wine was still beyond his imagination.

However, when inspiration comes, it cannot be stopped.

"Using the illusion creation module of [Dream] as the starting point, a single shift of mental power will connect to the invasion module of [Spiritual Thorn], sending this illusion directly into the enemy's consciousness."

"Then, we need a stable output and input port... Got it, witness it!"

"Good! It's done!"

"In this way, as long as our eyes meet during battle, I can use the method of mental witnessing to instill some false illusions into the enemy's consciousness."

When this secret method of mental attack was fully developed, Chu He read it through in its entirety.

No problem, it is very complete and can be used directly.

only……

"The power of this secret technique... is no different from those eighteen!" Chu He smiled and shook his head.

So what if it’s not very powerful?
Isn’t the most important thing the mastery of the entire secret book?
After criticizing his own unrealistic ambitions in his heart, Chu He looked towards the world in the pot.

On a designated snowy mountain, several mature snow lotus plants and dozens of seedlings, purchased at great expense, were adapting to their new environment. Even though Chu He had given these seedlings the best possible care in every aspect of their growth, even casting several soul-invigorating spells on the land of the medicinal garden, their growth rate was still minimal.

Even the one that looks closest to maturity is expected to take another three years to mature.

And those few mature snow lotus plants are only enough to brew the tea once more like this time.

"This time, one pot is only 10 liters. If we start brewing snow lotus wine now, it will take another 28 days to harvest... This amount won't stay in the Huashan Sutra Library for long."

With a wave of his hand, he picked all the mature snow lotus on the snow mountain. With another thought, all the materials for brewing snow lotus wine gathered together.

Colorful bubbles emerged and slowly rose to mid-air.

……

Inside the Huashan Sutra Library, feeling the chill in his mind fade away, Chu He closed the book, leaned back in his chair, rubbed his temples, and slowly exhaled.

"No wonder the ancient martial arts internal boxing has declined!"

"Not only is the vocabulary awkward and cryptic, but it's also full of code words, and it changes almost every time you read a book."

"If the secret code wasn't annotated in the book here, I really wouldn't understand it!"

No matter how high your understanding is, you still need to have logic to understand what you are trying to comprehend.

If you can still understand a text that lacks logic and is even full of misleading information, that is not insight, that is prophecy.

Chu He closed his eyes and let his thoughts wander aimlessly.

"If I remember correctly, today is the day Luo Feng steps out of the ruins. I wonder if he will be surprised by my help?"

"Unfortunately, the Beast King hasn't been born yet, which means Babata hasn't started releasing the Muya Crystal yet."

"If I use Muya crystal to brew wine, it should be able to help me improve my strength as a first-level planetary star."

"It's better to go and take a look at Kirishima. Even though Babata doesn't think highly of me, what if I can snatch the Muya Crystal from someone else?"

After a while, the fatigue in his mind dissipated. Chu He put the swordsmanship manual in his hand back on the bookshelf and took out a Taoist canon.

After drinking a cup of jade-like snow lotus wine, Chu He felt a cool sensation in his head. He flipped through the Taoist scriptures in front of him, while also recalling the relevant information about the "field" in his mind.

"The human spirit desires clarity, but the mind disturbs it; the human heart desires tranquility, but desires pull it away."

"If one can always let go of desires, the mind will naturally be calm, and if one can clear the mind, the spirit will naturally be clear. Then the six desires will naturally not arise, and the three poisons will be eliminated."

"Concentrating my thoughts and quieting my mind like this, uniting my heart and soul, seems... not difficult for me in my current state?"

Having just let his thoughts wander freely, Chu He had already gathered all the extraneous thoughts after relieving his brain fatigue. The coolness of the snow lotus wine entered his mind, and his mind became even clearer.

Integrate your whole body, focus your mind on Dantian, and have no more distracting thoughts.

The peculiarities of the souls that have reincarnated on Earth begin to emerge.

"So... is this what it means to have the mind and spirit in harmony, the unity of heaven and man?"

Slowly, Chu He unconsciously closed his eyes and murmured to himself: "The ice is cold for a thousand years, and all things are still; my heart is at peace, and I look to myself for the divine."

“No delusion, no anger, no desire, no seeking; no giving up, no abandoning, no action, no self.”

After a long time, when Chu He opened his eyes, a warm look bloomed in the study.

The chill in his mind faded, but Chu He no longer had any doubts.

"The way to the realm is right before our eyes."

"Next..." Chu He slowly raised his hand and clenched it tightly, "Just gather all your strength."

"Physical strength, genetic energy, and... mental power."
