Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 13 Meditation and Visualization

Ye Feng pointed at Ye Qing, then at himself.

"In the past few years, you have read a lot of books about Soul Masters. I won't go into detail about the existence of Martial Souls, as they are introduced in almost all the books you have read."

It's nothing more than the Soul Master's level and title, the age and color of the Soul Rings, the existence of Soul Bones, the classification of Soul Masters, and what each Soul Master is good at.

Ye Qing had indeed seen these things, and they were largely the same as those described in the original work.

Therefore, Ye Feng did not repeat those uninformative facts, since they could be found in books anyway. What he focused on teaching was the meditation method that could assist Soul Masters in their cultivation.

"Meditation, as the name suggests, involves emptying your mind and drawing upon the primordial energy of heaven and earth in the air to gather within yourself and transform it into your own power," Ye Feng said.

"The basic meditation method is simply emptying your mind and letting your soul power passively circulate to absorb the energy of heaven and earth. It is extremely inefficient, time-consuming, laborious, and yields little result."

"The intermediate meditation method, based on the basic meditation method, allows one to actively circulate soul power according to the meridians recorded in the meditation method, and perform simple soul power refining. It can slightly speed up the cultivation process, and the efficiency varies depending on each soul master's talent."

"Advanced meditation techniques are basically cultivation methods that only major sects and forces possess. Our Shrek Academy also has advanced meditation techniques, and they are among the top meditation techniques in the Douluo Continent, second only to the Xuan Tian Gong passed down by Tang San, the ancestor of the Tang Sect."

"That is, the one you have in your hand."

After listening to Ye Feng's introduction, Ye Qing lowered his head and opened the book of advanced meditation techniques commonly used by Shrek Academy in his hand, and then his expression turned like that of an old man on a subway phone.

The eight extraordinary meridians and twelve regular meridians are all missing, with only a pseudo-Great Circulation of meridians running from the limbs to the torso and then to the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head.

What's the difference between this thing and the Xuan Tian Gong that Tang San had castrated?

Although Ye Qing wasn't a medical student in his previous life, due to his interest in online novels, he must have read about things like acupoints and meridians that are often mentioned in fantasy novels. Even if he didn't remember them, he knew their approximate locations.

This meditation book is clearly missing the most important part.

This made Ye Qing quite puzzled.

Could it be that over these ten thousand years, Shrek Academy has riddled the Tang Sect with holes, even acquiring the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and then, out of fear of Tang San, they didn't use the original Mysterious Heaven Skill but instead modified it, turning it into their own advanced meditation method while achieving roughly the same effect?

"etc……"

This... doesn't seem impossible after all!

Ye Qing's expression was even more indescribable.

Ye Feng continued, "This advanced meditation technique has undergone countless improvements and optimizations by our Shrek Academy ancestors over the past ten thousand years. I've also heard that it draws on the Xuan Tian Gong inherited by Tang San, the ancestor of the Tang Sect, which greatly enhances its cultivation efficiency."

Okay, okay, so you're 'borrowing' from it, right?

It truly lives up to its name as a family tradition...

Then, Ye Feng began to teach Ye Qing the "Shrek Advanced Meditation Method" in detail. At least in Ye Qing's opinion, this kind of cultivation technique was somewhat abstract.

With Ye Feng's assistance, he didn't need to worry about finding the wrong meridians. He could simply follow the soul power that Ye Feng was channeling into his body and circulate it through his meridians.

After the three major cycles of cultivation were completed, Ye Feng withdrew his soul power. At this point, Ye Qing was already able to actively circulate his soul power for cultivation, so Ye Feng naturally no longer needed to guide him step by step.

Furthermore, he did not interrupt Ye Qing's cultivation process.

The first training session for every Soul Master is very important. The longer the first training session lasts, the better the Soul Master's talent for cultivation. This can be considered a test.

The principle behind this test is quite simple.

A martial spirit is like a soul master's second soul. The process of cultivation is like the martial spirit eating. The more it eats, the faster the martial spirit grows.

The longer one cultivates, the more spiritual energy the martial soul can contain. The most direct manifestation of this is the speed at which the soul master's level increases.

Of course, this formula is not absolute.

Some people absorb the energy of heaven and earth for most of the day, but they still don't absorb as much energy as a top genius in a few tens of minutes. Even if someone has spent most of the day cultivating, would you dare say that their talent is better than that of a top genius who has only cultivated for two hours?

The amount of spiritual energy absorbed by a top genius in two hours is enough for a complete mortal to absorb without eating, drinking, sleeping, or resting for an entire day!

Fortunately, Ye Feng was strong enough to roughly sense the speed at which Ye Qing absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Combined with the time Ye Qing spent cultivating, he was able to deduce Ye Qing's talent for cultivation.

Yes, it needs to be made more scientific.

This explains why the geniuses of the Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect era had much higher soul power levels than the geniuses of the Spirit Hall era in Douluo Continent I.

Feng Xiao is a twenty-four-year-old genius Soul Master, while Long Aotian, who is not yet twenty, has already become a Soul Saint.

Even the heavens have their differences!

Not to mention the Xuan Shui Dan, a top-grade pill that can enhance innate soul power and was considered a divine medicine during the Spirit Hall era.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Ye Qing is now receiving top-tier training from Shrek Academy, and it is foreseeable that he will never lack cultivation resources in the future.

Ye Feng's test was also to help him allocate cultivation resources more rationally in the future.

Medicated baths, whale glue, medicinal pills, and some training programs, etc.

As a member of the Shrek Celestial Dragons, he naturally didn't need to attend any junior Soul Master academy, just like Bei Bei didn't go to any junior Soul Master academy either, but instead learned Soul Master knowledge with Zhang Lexuan.

They just need to wait until they are old enough to enroll directly in Shrek Academy.

While Ye Feng was still figuring out how to secure more cultivation resources for his precious grandson, Ye Qing had already begun to ponder the matter of meditation techniques.

As an outsider, he naturally wouldn't have the same rigid mindset as the locals of Douluo.

Based on this meditation method, Ye Qing was able to deduce some things.

It is obvious that when the Shrek master who "borrowed" from the Mysterious Heaven Skill created this Shrek meditation method, he did not fail to consider making the meditation method more perfect.

Since the Xuan Tian Gong involves many more meridians than normal meditation, is it possible for me to make Shrek Meditation surpass the Xuan Tian Gong based on it?

This book, Shrek Meditation Method, shows many signs of attempting to open up other meridians.

As for why Ye Qing was able to see it?

It's also very simple.

While the meridians in the human body are largely similar, each person's meridians are unique. Not everyone's meridians are static. The Great Circulation of meridians, which are derived from the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and the Twelve Regular Meridians, are indeed the same. But what about those hidden meridians that have not been developed?

These are all manifestations of a great deal of difference.
