09204-Instant waste and instant construction

Me: "For example, exhaustively enumerate what numbers can be formed by using the ten numbers from zero to nine. In the most basic cognition, these ten numbers are only arranged in different digits such as tens, hundreds, and thousands. When you know the exponent After that, combinations such as the third power of two and the zero power of nine can also appear. The exhaustive enumeration of the former method is not wrong when the existence of the exponent is not known, but after knowing the exponent, there are immediately more fresh things to be discovered. space."

Elder You: "Do you think your handling of Yu Jianzhen was not perfect enough? Is there still room for further exploration?"

Me: "After I have a deeper understanding of time and space, I think I can make more subversive changes to the jade array, so that it does not affect the Zhongsumen Library, but can strengthen my own space."

Elder You: "Maybe it would be better if you extract the essence of the Jade Slab Formation and create another formation. Just use the formation I gave you in your space. Even if you study and modify it carefully, it will be difficult for you to ensure that there is no other formation in the formation. My dark hand. It is best not to use anything in your own world that you don’t understand. It is especially not recommended to carry the whole thing made by others into your world. Only when a thing is dismantled into pieces, you can quickly Quickly restore it or create a completely new one, you will understand it enough to control it.”

Me: "If a cultivator completely understands his cultivation, does it mean that after completely abolishing his cultivation, he can quickly re-cultivate to the previous cultivation base, and can continue to improve?"

Elder You: "There is such a theory."

Me: "Theoretically, to achieve that level of cultivation and understanding, do you have to become a fairy?"

Elder You: "I'm afraid it is."

Me: "Is there a way that practice makes perfect?"

Elder You: "If Chu Wuliu of the Medicine Sect dares to practice his active alchemy cultivation method to the extreme—he must at least shatter his alchemy a thousand times—there is probably a chance that practice makes perfect, and quantity changes into quality."

09205-Guess what is good for you

Me: "Eight thousand times is enough? Don't you need to practice every day like basic sword moves?"

Elder You: "Because there are no examples and everything is theoretical analysis, so under the circumstances of extremely favorable assumptions, it may be enough. Just like if the profession of sword repair disappears, then future generations may be able to study sword moves. I dare to say boldly that one move can be thoroughly mastered and very proficient after practicing it thousands of times.”

Me: "Actually, in terms of proficiency, it is indeed enough to practice one sword move eight thousand times, which is enough to establish a solid conditioned reflex. But the problem is that sword moves are not isolated. Practicing a sword move once is only for sword moves. One, after getting the second sword move, you have to continue to brush up the proficiency for thousands of times, and then the combination of the first sword move and the second sword move is a new move, and there is a new round of proficiency that needs to be brushed. After that, every time I learn a new sword move, I have to brush up the proficiency of a single move, a combination of two moves, a combination of three moves... until it is endless."

Elder You: "Oh? Are you so tired? As a layman of swordsmanship, I would like to ask: Can't you understand everything?"

Do you think I'd believe that you're really asking such an innocent question?

I changed the subject: "I heard that you need an assistant for your new book research?"

Elder You: "Do you think I will let you take the initiative to talk to you? Even if it is a momentary initiative."

Me: "Actually, I don't know much about you, and I don't have enough basis to speculate about you."

Elder You: "Then you can guess an answer at random?"

Me: "I guess it's good for me: you are willing to give me the initiative temporarily."

Elder You: "Assuming your guess is correct, what will you do first when you get the dominance?"

Me: "Arrange me to be your assistant in researching the new book, and announce that the research process for the new book will officially start immediately."

Elder You: "But the research on the new book you mentioned started a long time ago, when I first got the new book. It is impossible for me to erase what happened and start all over again."

Me: "If my ability to control time is good enough, can I make this moment equal to the moment you got that new book? Then I can participate in the beginning of the research event?"

Elder You: "If you have mastered time and space to this extent, then you don't need to be obsessed with participating in this research at a specific moment, because no matter how confidential and high-end information is today, there will always be a moment in the future when it will be made public or become waste paper. You You only need to go to the moment of the future to familiarize yourself with the research results, and then write down the results now, which will directly become the guide and standard answer for my research, and let me check the answers while researching. Of course, you can still go back to the beginning of the research At that moment, while watching my research, you revealed the standard answers to me little by little, making me think that you came up with those answers yourself, and then I thought you were my confidant and a bright light."

09206-The treatment is not very good

Me: "Cultivator, before becoming a fairy, can you really control time to that extent?"

Elder You: "We have many fantasies about what we can do after we become immortals. There are countless things we want to do but no one has achieved at this stage. We all expect immortals to do it, just like ordinary people expect ourselves to be unable to do it. There are many things that monks can do, and those with low cultivation expect to be able to do things that they cannot do, and these expectations are one of the important driving forces for us to continue to grow stronger."

Elder You: "Why do monks look forward to becoming immortals? It's not yearning for an illusory concept, but yearning for a stronger self."

Me: "But maybe a lot of our fantasies about 'immortals' are actually impossible for immortals. We may think that immortals are too omnipotent and perfect. When we look at the golden elixir stage during Qi training, we also think that the golden elixir stage is very powerful. , but when you reach the golden elixir stage in the Qi training stage, you will feel that the golden elixir stage is nothing more than that. The greed of living beings is always endless, and after getting something, they will want more and will never be satisfied."

Elder You: "The theme of the new book I got is 'greed'. I need my assistant to enter this book and follow the guidance of the book to release my greed. Get something in the book, and then greedily Wanting more, until it exceeds the upper limit that this book can satisfy, the assistant falls into the pain of not being able to get what he wants, and finally uses pain as a weapon to shatter the world in the book and return to the main world."

Me: "Sounds like a bit of hard work?"

Elder You: "Temporary assistants, informal and non-permanent employees are generally not well paid."

Me: "The things I get in this book can only be owned when I am active in this book? Once I leave this book, those things will not exist?"

Elder You: "If you were rescued by me because you couldn't survive before the book world was shattered, it would indeed be like that; but if you complete the process I said, the stirring power when the book world shatters will take you to death. Some of the things in the book are realized in the main world - the more important you are, the more likely it is to be real - and then those things really belong to you, which is the purpose of your assistant job remuneration."

Elder You: "Only if you smash the world of this book, can I get the key data for this research, and I will let you get the full reward; and if you give up halfway, it will be regarded as a failure in the work, and I will have to pay you back." Paying labor to protect you and finding more suitable assistants may also need to spend resources and time to repair the book world, in theory, in that case, you should actually pay me compensation for lost work.”

09207-The strong have more chances to be rogues

Me: "Do you think I have a high chance of breaking this book world?"

Elder You: "Although I have observed you a lot and have done some research on this book, I don't really understand you, nor do I fully understand this book."

Oh, that is, you can't calculate the odds.

Me: "But I know almost nothing about that book, and I can't say how thorough my understanding is, so I can't even calculate the success rate of this matter... It doesn't matter if I don't calculate it?"

Elder You: "The cultivation world always emphasizes individuals far more than groups, so probability is really not very important in many cases."

Me: "Is the probability related to the individual group? The probability we are discussing is the possibility of me succeeding in doing this thing, not how many people in a group of people will succeed in doing this thing."

Elder You: "Well...Actually, I thought you could understand that when the discussion is deep enough, individuals and groups can be equated, just like within a certain range, success and failure can also be equated."

Me: "Although I don't understand it very well, do you imply that you think that whether I break the book world or not, I can be considered a success?"

Elder You: "That's not wrong."

Me: "Right and wrong can sometimes be equated, and rewards and punishments can also be mixed together?"

Elder You: "I just said that your comprehension has reached this level."

Me: "But if these are used in general discourses, that's fine. If they are used to guide practice, it's like messing around, cheating, and eating bully meals."

Elder You: "Compared with all the sects in the cultivation world, which one eats the Bawang meal the most?"

Me: "Kunlun." Without a doubt.

Elder You: "So the most rogue behavior can only be done by the strong. This is not because the strong have a lower moral bottom line, but because the strong see and grasp more opportunities."

Me: "Will that world of books cause me irreversible harm? Will the emotion of wanting nothing in it become my demon?"

Elder You: "I can't guarantee that I won't, I can only say that I won't. Your emotional self-regulation ability is excellent, and you can see clearly what is suitable for you and what you can achieve after hard work. things, and you can draw a very clear boundary for "belonging to you or not", you will protect those within the boundary, and you are indifferent enough outside the boundary. So I think, although you may have a momentary "thinking" You have to be "reluctant" and other emotions, but you will not shake your fundamentals for those emotions."

Elder You: "Your root is in the Yunxia Sect, and since ancient times, the Yunxia Sect disciples have rarely had a sense of belonging to things other than the Yunxia Sect. You Yunxia Sect disciples always want to move back to the Yunxia Sect when you see good things, but If you really can't move it, if you still can't move it after calling many fellow disciples as helpers, you will let it go completely after a while, just as if that thing has no destiny with Yunxia Sect."
