Main Text Volume Chapter 133 Tracking Spiritual Power

Nausicaa's intuition is very accurate.

Angel recalled that not long ago, he only agreed to be neighbors with Sarum, but within a day, he changed his mind. Angel himself felt a little embarrassed, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Seeing Angel's expression, how could Nausicaa not understand.

"It seems I guessed right. Are you ready to move out? Well...it's not called moving out. After all, you haven't moved in yet."

Nausicaa guessed about the moving. Although Angel was a little embarrassed, he actually had no intention of hiding it, and he couldn't hide it.

So he told him about renting a house in Apprentice Town, but the source of the magic crystal was a bit difficult to explain, so he simply raised Sanders's tiger-skin banner. Besides, the contribution points were indeed given by Sanders, although they were in exchange for payment.

"I heard from Miss Abulei that many second-level apprentices are reluctant to spend money to live in the apprentice town!" Salum showed an envious expression: "It's great to have a good mentor."

"You might as well go and stay as an apprentice." Nausicaa picked up the broken iron chain on the ground. "It's too unsafe to live in a place like this. There is a gap between you and Hook Dick. If he sneaks in at night , the consequences are disastrous.”

Salum also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Miss Nausicaa is right. I didn't react at first. Now that I think about it, a sharp weapon can cut off the iron chain. This is too unsafe for protection." The people living around us now are not kind-hearted ordinary people, but extraordinary people and people who are about to step into the door of extraordinary people. They must have many methods to break in if they are interrupted while practicing. It’s a very unpleasant thing. Besides, Toby is a bird, so he shouldn’t be used to living underground without light.”

"You are one step ahead of us." Nausicaa patted Angel on the shoulder: "When I earn enough magic crystals, I will move out of here as soon as possible."

"Me too!" Sailum said with a smile, "We will be neighbors again then!"

The understanding between the two finally made Angel's embarrassment disappear.

"I believe this day won't be long." Angel said.

…

On the same day, Angel moved his luggage into the small villa in Apprentice Town.

The villa is located on the edge of the 8th Apprentice Town, close to a creek. Because it is backed by woods, from time to time you can see fearless animals coming out of the woods and leisurely drinking water and resting by the creek. As soon as Angelfu arrived, he saw several sunset pelicans with huge red beaks fishing in the stream, and several white deer cuddled up to drink water on the bank.

"The natural scenery is quite beautiful." This quiet and beautiful first impression made Angel's satisfaction with his new home suddenly increase.

The villa is surrounded by a white fence. Although the fence is short, it is engraved with magic patterns, making it very difficult to break through. The small courtyard inside the fence is not big, only a miniature flower room. There is a mistletoe tree about three meters high next to the flower house. The temperature in the mirror world stays warm most of the time, so the branches and leaves on the tree are lush. If you look carefully, you can also find green fruit spores.

After Angel entered the villa, he found that the furniture inside had been delivered by the administrator and placed randomly in the living room, which looked a bit messy. Angel spent most of the day placing the furniture in its proper place. During this process, he also gained a better understanding of the internal environment of the villa.

The villa has three floors. The top floor is a small triangular attic, the second floor is the guest room, and the first floor is the master bedroom, study and living room. There is also a basement specifically used for training.

Angel's own room is the master bedroom on the first floor, and the room he arranged for Toby is on the top floor of the attic. There is a skylight here, through which you can see the mistletoe branches outside, which is very green and pleasing to the eye. Toby is also very satisfied with his room. He can fly out at any time through the skylight, which makes him very happy.

After placing Toby in place, Angel returned to his bedroom.

There was nothing in the bedroom, only a bed, and the walls were empty. Angel looked at the white walls and felt too deserted. He simply stood up and took out the two oil paintings from his luggage.

He hung "Traveler Under the Starry Sky" on the wall directly opposite the bed. He did not hang up the other "Milk Shepherd", but put it in the study room and covered it with canvas at will. Angel didn't know if there was any secret in this painting, so he didn't hang it up out of caution.

With the decoration of oil paintings, the bedroom immediately feels more substantial. Angel was exhausted from running around all day, and soon fell asleep while lying on the bed.

The next day, when Angel woke up, the sky was already bright. I opened the curtains and went to the balcony to do some casual activities. I breathed in the fresh air and looked at the dark blue mountains in the distance and the small animals playing near the creek nearby. I felt inexplicably quiet and comfortable.

He had no plans to go out today and decided to officially start practicing the guidance method. Angel had great expectations for this book "Singularity Scattering Meditation Method". I hope that I can use this guidance to quickly enrich myself and successfully save Jon's life after five years.

But before practicing the guidance method, he must first feel the spiritual power.

Angel let Toby move freely, and he ate some dry food and hurried to the basement.

The basement is very large and spacious, with three basic magic arrays attached to the four walls. No matter what you do in it, it can effectively protect your privacy and safety, so many wizard apprentices transform the basement into a personal laboratory. Angel currently has no plans to transform the basement. The reason why he came to the basement is that there is a very small side door here, and inside is a quiet room of two or three square meters.

Angel's destination is this quiet room.

It is easiest to calm down in a narrow and quiet room, which is helpful for Angel, who is meditating for the first time.

The first meditation was not smooth. Even with the special skills noted by Sanders, he has never been able to concentrate and meditate.

The first step of meditation is to visualize the mental model in the mind. Visualization and construction are two different things, but there is a deep internal connection. Visualizing the mental model is to better construct the mental model and have a preliminary concept of the model to be constructed.

Although this process is visualization on the surface, it is actually to feel and guide the mental power.

Mental power is an abstract concept. If you want to materialize it, you must perceive its existence. How to perceive mental power? It is to visualize the mental power model in your mind and look for the mental power attracted by the mental power model at the same time.

That is, visualize the mental power model and trace the mental power at the same time.

But when visualizing the mental power model, you cannot focus on the visualization model, but you must focus on feeling another force in the brain-mental power.

This method is extremely challenging for people's concentration, because when you visualize a pattern, it is inevitable that your attention will be focused. At this time, it is very difficult to focus all your attention on the other side.

This process is very similar to a famous psychological test on Earth: "Pink Elephant".

Psychologists tell the test subjects that there is a pink elephant in the house, and then tell the test subjects: "Don't think about the pink elephant."

But the result is often that after the test subjects learn the information of "pink elephant", no matter how they clear their thoughts, they will inevitably think of the pink elephant in their minds.

This test is like the process of wizard meditation: the more you want to distract yourself, the more difficult it is to distract yourself. This is a typical mind interference. If you want to forget the object of interference, you must still your body, mind, and spirit, and then slowly shift your attention in the "empty and clear" state.

This is a very difficult process. Ordinary people's thoughts are complicated and redundant. If you want to thoroughly understand your mind and see your nature, it is a process that requires perseverance.

Because entering the empty and clear state requires absolute silence, most wizards are lonely wise men.

Of course, with higher cultivation and less spiritual dust, "absolute silence" can be replaced by "relative silence". This state requires at least a formal wizard. To reach this state, even if you meditate in the middle of a busy city, you will not be affected by the hustle and bustle and can quickly enter the state. This is the "physical stillness" that transcends the body, mind, and spirit, and reaches the state of "mental stillness".

As for the higher "spiritual stillness", the conditions for achieving it are more stringent.

...

For a week in a row, Angel did not really enter the state of meditation. There was absolute silence, but the thoughts in his mind were too busy. When he closed his eyes and tried to enter a meditative state, all kinds of demons and evil thoughts seemed to be having a party in his brain, chirping non-stop. He suppressed this side, but there was another gap on the other side. It was simply impossible to defend against.

Not to mention visualizing the mental power model, even controlling his thoughts from running wild consumed a lot of Angel's energy.

It was only at this time that Angel realized how chaotic his thoughts were.

Angel was not the only one who was stuck in the first level of entry. The talents of this session all received guidance methods from their respective mentors, but their guidance methods were very popular guidance methods, probably at the level of the "Triangle Guidance Method". Like Angel, they were also stumped by this first level. Especially for the adult talents, who were accustomed to the life of sensuality and debauchery, it took more energy to make their minds completely quiet.

On the contrary, although Selum was only one year younger than Angell, his mind was much purer. He could practice with his eyes closed, and there were few messy thoughts in his mind. He could separate visualization and concentration in a short time.

Selum's success stimulated Angell. In the next half month, he simply stayed at home and meditated, not believing that he would not succeed.

During this period, Sanders did not contact him actively, and he must have known the difficulties of beginners.

After a few days, Angell had a deeper understanding of meditation. In fact, meditation is a gradual process. Angell did not want to achieve it all at once. The most important task to be solved now was to eliminate distractions.

It took him a week to achieve this step.

The second step was to visualize the mental model and trace the mental power.

Another three days passed, and Angell had a preliminary concept of how to achieve the separation of visualization and concentration. The mental model of the "Singularity Scattering Method" he visualized needs to be slowly reflected in Angel's mind and turned into an instinct. At this time, there will be no distraction, and it will be much easier to sense mental power.

However, it is not easy to turn the visualized mental model into an instinct.

Another week passed, and Angel's meditation was still bumpy. Although he could not completely separate visualization from concentration, he could occasionally draw his attention to the search for mental power when visualizing the mental power model in his mind.

Although this phenomenon only occurred occasionally, it also gave Angel more confidence.

Occasionally can become occasionally, occasionally can become often, and often can become forever. However, this is a slow process that requires persistent and unremitting persistence.

In the past half month, Angel's progress has gradually caught up, and he ranks among the top talents of this session. This is because his talent is indeed good, and secondly, it is because of the magic array that focuses his mind.

In the past half month, Selum has also been looking for mental power, but his progress is the same as Angel's. He can't find mental power no matter what, as if it doesn't exist at all.

Angel and Selum also discussed it privately, but after the communication, they still got nothing.

As for Nausicaa, she hasn't been seen going out for a long time. According to Sailum, Nausicaa is still fighting with the complicated thoughts in her mind, and she even rarely smokes.

After listening to this, Angel muttered secretly: "In fact, I think she may have a higher success rate when she smokes." Because Angel found that whenever Nausicaa smokes, she is very quiet, and her expression is also peaceful and warm. According to his experience in the past half month, this state is the easiest to eliminate complicated thoughts.

...

It was difficult to pull the attention away from the visualization, but no matter what, there was no trace of mental power, which made Angel a little impatient.

Another half a month passed, and now it is the month of cold. In another month, he will have been away from home for a whole year.

He and his mentor Jon's five-year agreement has passed one-fifth of the time, and he has not even entered the door of the apprentice, which makes him very anxious.

On this day, after meditating, Angel still had no clues about the traces of mental power. He thought about it and decided to go to the Magic Island to ask Sanders.

Arrived at the Magic Island smoothly and met Sanders smoothly.

But Sanders' answer made Angel a little entangled. Sanders appreciated Angel's current progress in practice. As for how to find the spiritual power, Sanders only said four words: grinding time.

More haste, less speed.

Angel also knew this truth, but he was anxious.

When Angel left the Magic Island, he unexpectedly met Flora. Angel's eyes lit up and decided to ask Flora if there was any better way.

Flora's answer was exactly the same as Sanders'.

However, seeing Angel's anxious look, Flora said, "I don't know what you are anxious about. Anyway, I have no way. But there is one person who may know, but it is not an easy thing to get something substantial out of him."
