Chapter 11: The Sacred Realm

"What's wrong?" asked Chen Yuanlen after a pause.

"Remember that there is a 'soul contract' in your 'soul sea'!"

"Of course I do. Is that the reason?" Chen Yuan said.

"That's right. If you do 'soul cultivation', you will definitely be involved in that soul contract, and it will be too dangerous for you to do so!" said Su Dao.

"Will this have any effect on my cultivation after that?" asked Chen Yuan eagerly.

"The impact is not great, soul cultivation is the most partial existence in the five Tibetan cultivation, because it is the only one that does not complement other cultivation, but the improvement of strength in the early stage of 'soul cultivation' is extremely fast, without correct guidance, practitioners are very easy to go mad in the cultivation process, and many people in the evil path prefer the path of the main 'soul cultivation', so for a long time, the reputation of soul cultivators in the holy realm is not very good, so the cultivators of the main 'soul cultivation' are generally not welcomed. The director patiently explained.

"Then what should I do if I encounter a soul cultivator in the future?" Chen Yuan asked.

"This is thanks to the soul contract that person left you, it can protect you from the influence of soul magic to a certain extent, so ordinary soul cultivators can't do anything about you. "Thanks to this, you can have more energy to concentrate on the other four methods, which is definitely not a bad thing for you." ”

When Chen Yuan heard this, his heart suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

For the next five months, the 'Five Senses' were practiced.

The five senses are shape, sound, smell, taste, and touch, that is, people's senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.

The 'smell' of the five senses.

"There are many ways to improve the sense of smell, for example, when a practitioner is practicing, the sense of smell becomes sensitive while exercising. There are also different scents, nutritional diet, scent therapy, etc. But the most important thing is not to leave the nose in a bad environment for a long time, which will blunt the sense of smell. "I wanted to say more, but I decided to make a long story short.

"The incense burner is one of them. ”

Chen Yuan thought that every time before going to sleep, he would prepare an incense burner for him in advance, and the ingredients were different each time, and the taste was slightly different, but they were all very fragrant.

"At first, it was for you to calm your mind and sleep, but considering your subsequent practice, I changed the ingredients each time, but it took me a lot of effort. Su Dao said.

Chen Yuan was very moved when he heard what Su Dao did for him.

The rest of the training was relatively easy.

It didn't take long for Chen Yuan to be able to distinguish many flowers and herbs, medicinal ingredients, etc. just by smelling.

The 'taste' of the five senses.

'Taste' can be divided into seven flavors: sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, astringent, and umami.

And the way to train Chen Yuan is to let him taste different poisons, ranging from small to slightly poisonous to highly toxic.

Due to the dilution of the toxin in advance, coupled with the detoxification work before and after the event, Chen Yuan only felt a little weak and diarrhea at most.

One day, meal time.

A large table is filled with chicken, duck, fish, and other delicacies, and it looks very gluttonous.

Since Chen Yuan came here, the most he has eaten is the medicinal food prepared by Su Dao, although the taste is not bad, except for the 'compound' with special ingredients, but it is still much worse than the previous life.

At this time, Chen Yuan saw the scene that was different from the usual, and he felt bad.

The director came over and immediately introduced: "As you can see and think, the dishes here are poisonous, only one of them is non-toxic, and each of the other plates has poison with different ingredients, all of which you have tasted before, all you have to do is to distinguish them." ”

Chen Yuan knew that the purpose of Shudao doing this was to reduce the risk of his future cultivation path.

It's just that the general situation is fine, if it is difficult to distinguish it in some foods with strong flavors, Chen Yuan knows this very well.

After taking the 'Anti-Poison Pill' in advance, Chen Yuan officially began to taste it.

"The first borscht, poisonous is... Croton!" Chen Yuan said speechlessly.

"The second course... What is poisonous is the sprouted potato, solanine!" Chen Yuan carefully distinguished.

Director Shu praised in his heart: "It's not bad!"

"The third course... Big Yellow Leaf!"

"Fourth... Innocuity. ”

...

After tasting all the dishes and taking the detoxification soup, Chen Yuan was quickly informed of two of the mistakes by the supervisor.

Chen Yuan saw that those two dishes were the most delicious of all the dishes, and the poisonous herbs in them were also the ones that tasted light and were easy to confuse, which led to the previous results.

"It's not bad overall, but you still need to be strengthened, after all, there is only one human life. Su Dao commented.

Chen Yuan is not denied, and he still has a lot to learn now.

Later, Chen Yuan ran to the toilet many times because of this feast, not because of Croton, but because of the sequelae caused by the mixture of various poisons and antidotes, and then his head burned for a period of time.

This was the first illness that Tatsubuchi was born of when he came to this world.

In his sleep, Chen Yuan dreamed of his former family for the first time, it was his grandmother who had passed away before, although there was no real blood relationship, but his grandmother was still very good to him. The most profound thing in his memory is that in the summer, the power at home was cut off from time to time at night, and he couldn't sleep because it was very hot, so his grandmother would hold a fan and shake it beside him all the time, it was very cool and comfortable, as if she had the whole world.

After moving, the house was equipped with air conditioning, and although the night was no longer as hot as summer, the feeling at that time could not be returned.

At this time, Chen Yuan seemed to feel everything at that time again, the sound of whirring over and over again in his ears, the whole mind settled down, and it felt good.

The next day, when this little episode passed, Chen Yuan began the next stage of training.

The 'touch' of the five senses.

'Touch', i.e. the sensation of the skin receiving an external stimulus.

During the initial 'physical cultivation' course, Chen Yuan would apply a layer of 'special protective liquid' with a strange taste on his body before each training, the specific ingredients are unknown, and the guide only said that it has the effect of protecting the skin and antioxidants, so that the skin will not become rough when cultivating to improve the strength of the body.

Through his previous cultivation, Chen Yuan's senses have become very sensitive, and what he wants to do now is to allow him to feel the information more specifically.

"Which is heavier, a pound of cotton or a pound of iron?" asked a simple question of common sense.

"It's the same weight. Tatsubuchi replied.

"What would be the answer if you unknowingly let someone feel which is heavier between the two?"

"It's hard to say, although it is the same weight, if people estimate it out of thin air, it varies from person to person, the former and the latter are possible, but the gravity of cotton is more dispersed, and the choice of cotton should be a high probability situation. Tatsubuchi replied.

And even when there is a weight gap between the two, there are still people who make wrong judgments, which is a lack of recognition and judgment on the part of their brains to receive the information, and sometimes this misjudgment can be fatal for the practitioner. Su Dao said seriously.
