In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 18 Masters of Classical Studies
"Sister, I've mastered the 'Mountain-Carrying Stance'!"

Under Old Jiang's strange gaze, Xie Lingxin followed Jin Su to her office.

They couldn't wait to get to the authentic local dialect.

His excited expression seemed to say, "Praise me!"

In fact, Xie Lingxin was not very old in either of her lives, and she was used to being alone.

In both lifetimes combined, Jin Su is the only person who has ever been kind to him without any reason and has never hesitated to give him millions.

He longed to share his joy with her and hoped she would be proud of his achievements.

Jin Su nodded: "I understand. You did a great job."

The reaction was lukewarm, but Xie Lingxin still smiled contentedly.

Jin Su asked him to sit down, poured him a glass of water, and then sat down herself: "How are you feeling?"

Xie Lingxin knew she was referring to her joining the Environmental Protection Bureau.

"It's all good. Uncle Jiang and the others are all very nice, and nothing's happened... Sister, did you arrange this?"

"Actually, I'm very capable, you don't need to take special care of me."

The work at the Ancient Books Management Office is really easy.

Old Jiang and he had been sitting there for half a day without him even moving an inch.

He wanted to rely on others, but he didn't really want to slack off or just coast through life.

"You think this job is easy?"

Jin Su asked a question, and before he could speak, she asked another:

What book were you reading just now?

Xie Lingxin told the truth.

"Then you should know the significance of ancient scriptures?"

Xie Lingxin nodded.

After reading for a while, although I can't say I have a complete understanding, I do know the basics.

The spiritual world is boundless, without distinction between high and low, and has no beginning and no end.

Stepping into it is like being in the material world, where one has fallen into the universe, feeling extremely small.

The material universe is a vacuum, but the spiritual world is a convergence of countless billions of spiritual thoughts.

Even with the most profound cultivation, one might lose one's way or even be overwhelmed by the vast sea of ​​thoughts.

Let alone finding the legendary realm, it would be difficult to even return to the material world.

The so-called ancient classics that have been passed down from the era of The Wandering Earth serve as a compass to help people find their way in the sea of ​​the spirit.

However, not everyone can use ancient texts to guide the direction of legends.

Firstly, it's been from the early days of the ball to the present, and who knows how many years have passed.

The little ball is broken, so there must be a special reason why these books have survived to this day.

However, almost all of them have become dilapidated.

Even leaving behind a single note or a few words is a rare feat.

Secondly, using ancient books as anchor points mainly utilizes the so-called "collective consciousness" and "memory anchors" left behind by ancient ancestors.

Simply put, in the era of The Wandering Earth, the more widely a classic was circulated, the longer it lasted, and the more well-known and accepted it was, the stronger its "memory" would be.

The Realm of Legends originated from the collective consciousness of humankind.

Books that carry legends are naturally connected to them.

The more complete the content, the more complete the "memory" will be, and the easier it will be to find the exact coordinates.

Neither completing ancient books nor finding memory anchors within them is something that ordinary people can do.

First, one must possess extremely profound relevant knowledge; second, one must possess extremely high spiritual cultivation.

Thus, the so-called "scripture teachers" came into being.

A master of classical studies is a person who specializes in studying ancient classics, filling in the gaps in their content, cultivating their spiritual power, and anchoring themselves in the realm of legends.

Xie Lingxin suddenly realized something and asked uncertainly, "Did you arrange for me to go to the Ancient Books Management Office on purpose, sister?"

Kim So-praised her, saying, "You are very smart."

"I heard about it from Bai Ruhui, but I didn't expect you to be so perceptive."

Jin Su sighed: "You should have mastered the basic visualization method in less than a month and then cultivated your consciousness. Now you've mastered the Mountain-Carrying Diagram so quickly. In terms of comprehension alone, in the entire Leizhou, apart from the young lady of the Chen family, I'm afraid no one can compare to you."

Su Li hadn't investigated this thoroughly before; it was only when she later investigated Xie Lingxin that she discovered his record of purchasing basic conception methods was from this month.

It's just a pity...

A hint of regret flashed across Jin Su's eyes.

"Unfortunately, your aptitude is too low."

She did not shy away from Xie Lingxin.

The root capacity of the intermediate level is actually not bad.

However, in her eyes, anything less than top-notch is unlikely to achieve anything significant and is considered poor.

If you just want to make a living, that's enough. But if you want to stand out from the crowd, that's really unlikely.

Xie Lingxin was unaware that Jin Su had such high standards and expectations; she simply noticed Jin Su's regret and remained silent for a moment before saying:

"Sister, I only know that innate talent is important, but just how important is it?"

"Is it really true that those with poor aptitude cannot go far?"

Jin Su pondered for a moment: "The reasoning behind this is difficult to explain in a short time, and you may not be able to understand it either."

"Let me put it this way, the Realm of Legends is actually divided into levels. So far, there are five levels: Floating Life, Mortal World, Ten Directions, Wilderness, and Myth."

"The legendary power that can be obtained from different levels of legendary domains is also different."

"Legendary power is the foundation for breaking limits."

"Your innate talent determines the level of legendary power you can contain."

"If you attain the 'Floating Life' level, others will attain the 'Mortal World' level,"

"Then in future cultivation, even with the same technique, you might grow one inch in a day, while others might grow ten inches, or even dozens of inches, in a day."

"One day's work can equal your efforts over dozens of days."

“If one has perseverance, this wouldn’t be a big problem, but cultivation is all about perseverance and is extremely time-consuming. And human beings are mortals with a lifespan of no more than a hundred years.”

"Even with today's advanced technology, and through various means, we can forcibly extend human lifespan by two or three hundred years, but that is still the limit."

"For spiritual practice, it is still just a drop in the ocean."

"To break free from the shackles of a mortal body, one must rely on cultivation and martial arts techniques and supernatural powers."

"The increase in cultivation level is accumulated over many years."

"As for supernatural powers... they are determined by fate, and only those with superior innate qualities can cultivate them."

Upon hearing this, Xie Lingxin's heart sank: "So that's how it is."

In retrospect, the image of the Great Emperor reciting scriptures that he obtained was definitely a legendary object.

The "unimpeded nature of all laws" that he comprehended from the picture of the Great Emperor preaching the scriptures is a kind of supernatural power.

Moreover, its level is definitely not low.

According to Jin Su, it shouldn't be possible for her to learn it. Is it because of the Great Emperor's Sutra Recitation Diagram? Or because of the Thunder God's Image?
Will I be able to learn other supernatural powers in the future?
Xie Lingxin had no idea.

However, he is not someone who can be so easily defeated.

In an instant, he rallied: "My sister sent me to this ancient books management office for a reason?"

"good."

Jin Su said frankly, "Originally, I only let you join the Environmental Protection Bureau because you were blessed by the Thunder God. I was giving you a chance so that even if you don't achieve anything in cultivation, you can still have a way to make a living."

"But you, though lacking in natural talent, possess exceptional comprehension, a rarity in this world. That's a different story."

"With your comprehension, you shouldn't waste your time. Becoming a scripture teacher is your best path."

"Since the Great Cataclysm, the pinnacle of human cultivation has been the Ten Immortals and Three Saints, among whom the Three Saints, with their mortal bodies, rivaled immortals and gods."

"Of the three sages, two were masters of classical studies,"

"They also lacked superior innate talent, could not learn superior techniques, and possessed no supernatural powers. They simply relied on their own knowledge and willpower to forge their minds into something flawless, allowing their spirits to radiate an immortal light."

"Although he was born with a mortal body, his spirit transcended the mundane world and could be compared with that of an immortal. In ancient terms, he was a scholar who was both learned and celestial."

Immortals are perfect, blessed with happiness and longevity.

A master of classical studies is an incomplete person who pursues the ultimate spiritual sublimation and immortality of the spirit.

Is this the way out that Kim Su has devised for him?
Xie Lingxin couldn't help but laugh and say, "Sister, aren't you giving me too much credit?"

Jin Su, however, was not joking. She said seriously, "Either don't do it at all, or do it to the best of your ability."

Seeing her seriousness, Xie Lingxin said solemnly, "Sister, I won't let you down."

Jin Su nodded: "I believe you."

Her expression remained somewhat aloof and indifferent, yet Xie Lingxin sensed the sincerity of her feelings.

"Sister, I will definitely repay you in the future."

Xie Lingxin didn't know how to repay this unconditional trust and kindness.

Of all the words I could say, this is the only one that remains.

Seeing his earnest expression, Jin Su couldn't help but chuckle: "If you want to repay me, then work hard. If you can really become a master of classical studies, you might actually be able to help me."

She naturally didn't take those words to heart.

Even if Xie Lingxin only walks on one leg, and even if he has excellent aptitude and comprehension and is a rare genius in the world, he might not be able to help her.

Confidence is one thing.

However, when it comes to spiritual practice, talent, temperament, luck, and resources are all indispensable.

Xie Lingxin has a good character. Although her aptitude is poor, she has good comprehension. In a short period of time, she has been able to cultivate the basic visualization method to this level. Although she lacks natural talent, it is not impossible for her to become a master of classical studies.

She can also provide resources.

The rest depends on his luck.
