Myriad Immortals

Chapter 229 The Wonderful Uses of the Second Visualization Method

This is the second time I've entered the armory.

With previous experience, Zhong Xuan was much more familiar with the route this time and did not spend much time in other areas.

I had already spent time looking through all the areas last time, so I went straight to the cultivation technique area.

Then I took down "The Method of Visualizing Green Mountains" from the bookshelf.

He had previously chosen the Green Mountain Contemplation Method over the Black Crane Contemplation Method, thinking it would take a long time to accumulate enough merits to exchange for the Green Mountain Contemplation Method. However, the time has been much faster than Zhong Xuan had anticipated.

"You've made your choice?"

The commander of the Imperial Guards was surprised to see Zhong Xuan return, but he didn't say anything.

They assumed that Zhong Xuan was from a prestigious family and already had a chosen target in mind.

He had seen this kind of situation many times before.

Many members of those aristocratic families have already been appointed to the Hanlin Academy and have a clear understanding of the situation in the armory. By passing on their experience to their descendants, they can avoid many detours.

After Zhong Xuan walked away.

Someone in the Imperial Guard muttered quietly, "These aristocratic families really don't discriminate; they're still pushing people out to be officials at such an advanced age."

A moment later.

Zhong Xuan then returned to the Hanlin Academy.

He found a secluded spot and took out the Green Mountain Contemplation Method he had just acquired from his pocket.

"This person is perhaps the most skilled in painting among those who practice martial arts."

When Zhong Xuan unfurled the scroll, he saw a lifelike and magnificent landscape painting. Even though he didn't understand painting, he could tell that the painter's skill was extremely high.

This is different from the previous Xuanhe Temple idea.

The first page of the visualization method records the life story of the artist.

"The Mountain Viewer...a carefree person in this world."

'

According to the small print, the person who painted this painting called himself "Guanshan Ke" (Mountain Viewer), who possessed the spirit of mountains and traveled all over the world's famous mountains in order to reach the pinnacle of martial arts.

of course.

It ultimately failed.

After all, if it had succeeded, the Green Mountain Contemplation Technique wouldn't have appeared on the first floor of the armory.

So this was the misfortune of that mountain-viewing guest, but also the blessing of Zhong Xuan.

Having gained experience with the Xuanhe visualization method, Zhong Xuan had a better understanding of visualization techniques.

Generally speaking.

The grander the subject matter depicted in a painting, the better the effect generally will be.

The objects visualized in the visualization practice on the first floor of the armory are mostly things that can still be seen in the world.

Just like the black crane, just like the mountains at this moment.

However, the visualization method created by the mountain-viewer is somewhat different.

Zhong Xuan's gaze fell upon the clouds above the mountains, sketched with just a few strokes.

A corner of the mountain peak was hidden there.

Feilai Peak!

According to Guanshanke, he was unable to fully depict Feilai Peak due to his limited natural talent. If he had, his book on the Green Mountain Contemplation Method would have been at least on the second floor.

But it's only a corner.

This meditation method of Qingshan is of a much higher quality than ordinary meditation methods.

"I've struck gold!"

Zhong Xuan was in a great mood.

You can only look at the items in the armory, you can't even touch them. The pills are relatively easy to identify, but the cultivation techniques are all a matter of luck.

My luck was much better the second time I entered the armory than the first time.

Zhong Xuan carefully read the small characters left by the mountain-viewing visitor on the Green Mountain Contemplation Method.

Then they arrived at the spirit chamber.

"Eunuch Chang, I want to enter the spirit chamber."

With his eyes closed, Eunuch Chang said, "There's a room available now, you can go in."

As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed to the spirit room in the far corner.

Zhong Xuan skillfully entered the spirit chamber and activated the formation.

However, this time he did not bring up the idea of ​​Xuanhe Temple, but instead brought up the idea of ​​Qingshan Temple.

With the blessing of the rich energy of heaven and earth, the perception of the green mountains in the painting becomes more genuine.

Some details that were vague to see from the outside became clear when one entered the spirit room.

In just half an hour.

Zhong Xuan's understanding of the Green Mountain Contemplation Method improved significantly.

When I stepped out of the spirit room.

Grandpa Chang was looking at him with a smile.

Zhong Xuan bowed and said, "Senior."

Old Eunuch Chang chuckled: "You're quite lucky, kid. You've obtained the Green Mountain Contemplation Method. The person who created this method, Guanshan Ke, is extremely talented. If he hadn't been limited by his low-grade Earth rank, he might have become a grandmaster."

"You have a good eye, senior."

Zhong Xuan offered a timely compliment.

He didn't have the ridiculous thought of looking down on the other person just because they were disabled.

In the imperial palace, the status of eunuchs was no less than that of high-ranking officials in the court.

Eunuch Chang chuckled: "You little rascal, you certainly know how to talk."

What kind of good things hasn't he heard in the palace?

Zhong Xuan's attitude of treating him as a mentor rather than a powerful minister made him feel very comfortable.

Eunuch Chang rarely spoke, except when he was talking to Zhong Xuan: "I'm in a good mood today, so I'll tell you a method. Just listen."

"Ordinary martial artists need to cultivate their innate original energy before they can begin to show their true potential and fight with their Dharma body."

"However, I do know a shortcut that can be done during blood refining."

"But you need at least three types of physical attributes and two visualization techniques, which you're just right for."

Upon hearing Eunuch Chang's words, Zhong Xuan's eyes lit up.

Manifesting the Dharma body with true energy!

That's a realm that only those who have mastered Qi cultivation can possibly reach.

Eunuch Chang calmly took out a small booklet from his sleeve: "Take a look and you don't need to return it. I've said before, this is a trick, at most it's just to scare people."

But then he added, "Of course, if you really master it, it will be enough for you to get a good ranking when the tournament ends."

Done.

Grandpa Chang closed his eyes and continued to doze off.

"Thank you, senior."

Zhong Xuan bowed respectfully.

Looking at the booklet in his hand, and the Green Mountain Contemplation Method in his arms.

Double happiness!

Zhong Xuan left the palace and returned to the Cui residence. After having dinner, he went to his room and, by the light of the still-sky-high sunlight, began to carefully read the booklet that Eunuch Chang had given him.

"The Tao, as a thing, is elusive and indistinct. Indistinct and elusive, yet within it are images; elusive and indistinct, yet within it are things..."

Half of the booklet is dedicated to Taoist teachings.

Fortunately, Zhong Xuan had the background of a scholar who had passed the imperial examinations. Although he was not a literary master, he still had no major problems studying these obscure texts.

Just as Grandpa Chang said.

This booklet doesn't contain any martial arts techniques, but rather clever tricks and shortcuts.

Qi-cultivating martial artists manifest their Dharma bodies by relying on their innate primordial qi. However, Eunuch Chang took a different approach. With his thorough familiarity with innate primordial qi, he guided his juniors to simulate it using ordinary true qi, thus achieving a three-tenths degree of authenticity.

Three points is already terrifying enough.

Zhong Xuan became increasingly alarmed as he looked at it.

This is no small trick, it's clearly a great skill!

When Zhong Xuan saw the last page, his expression turned strange.

There's no need to make any pronouncements like "to practice divine skills, one must first castrate oneself."

However, the conditions are extremely demanding.

"Ten Qi is just the beginning, thirty Qi is a minor achievement, and one hundred Qi is the mark of consummate skill."
