Chapter 20: Meditation Space
That night, Chongyang was ordered by the Flame Demon to chuang early and enter a deep meditation state.
Chongyang did so, and unlike usual, as soon as he entered a deep meditation state, he suddenly felt his eyes light up, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself standing in a vast white space.
"It's a meditation space. The Fire Demon appeared abruptly in front of him, "I used some means to get you in here. ”
"Awesome ......" Chongyang looked around in amazement, only to see that the front and back, left and right were endlessly white, but it would not make people feel dazzling, revealing depth and mystery.
"This is where the spiritual cultivation takes place. Well...... First of all, in this space, your mental time perception is largely controlled by me. In other words, I can make an hour in the real world ten hours, or even a hundred hours, in this space. However, it is only the spiritual aspect, and your own physical time is still an hour. ”
"Even if it's just mental, it's powerful. Chongyang sighed, "Can you teach me this magic?"
"You're not qualified to learn it yet, but we'll talk about it then. "Flame Demon Dao.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw hundreds of black spots on the white sky! Then, as the spots fell, Chongyang saw that they were all pitch-black cubes, each about a cubic meter in size, quietly falling and stacked on top of the white ground.
"Now, with your mental power, start moving these things and stack them on top of each other as quickly as possible. ”
Chongyang tried according to the words of the fire demon, and sure enough, he successfully remotely controlled the black cubes one by one, controlling them, and piling them up in a swaying manner.
"It's pretty simple...... Chongyang gradually became familiar with it. The feeling of this kind of control is somewhat similar to the normal mana building. Soon, he went from one cube at the beginning, to three or five cubes, and then to seven or eight cubes, hula and remote, constantly arranging and stacking.
"It's too slow, give me ten at a time!That's the minimum!" The flame of the fire demon suddenly swelled, and it slammed Chongyang's ass, causing Chongyang to scream in a terrible exclamation.
"In this spiritual space, as long as you don't die spiritually, I have many ways to let you get supreme enjoyment...... Would you like to try it right away?" the Fire Demon smirked grimly, like a devil in hell.
Chongyang remembered the tragic situation of the black-robed young man who was killed by himself, and suddenly his whole body trembled slightly—he finally understood what the bad premonition in advance meant for this cultivation.
This is a sheep in the mouth of a tiger!
"Hurry up, you can't manipulate more than ten objects at a time, I'll burn your ass once until it burns out!" exclaimed the Fire Demon.
"How is this possible. Chongyang was a little anxious, he tried his best at a time, and he only controlled nine at most, maybe occasionally to ten, but this could not last.
"Don't tell me it's impossible!" The flame demon flames were monstrous, and Chongyang tasted the pleasure of burning his ass again.
"This is your spiritual world! Use your brain! If you don't want to be burned by me, come up with the best way to do it! If you can't do it in an hour, you can do it for ten hours, if you can't do it in ten hours, you can do it for 100 hours, and if you can't do it in 100 hours, you can do it for 10,000 hours......
"10,000 hours? That's more than a year!"
"I can make you sleep for a hundred years!"
"You bastard!" Chongyang was really anxious. Looking at the nine cubes floating powerlessly above him, this was already the limit of what he could do. Breaking through the limit of more than 10 is not a matter of an instant.
Use your brains!
In the laughter of the fire demon, the words it had said rang in Chongyang's ears again. Calm down, you must be calm, although the fire demon is a bit perverted and a little bad, it is impossible to create this space just to torture yourself, a way that can be done.
The way you use your mental power is terrible!
Manner...... What the hell is the way...... Chongyang looked at the cubes in the sky, and vaguely, unconsciously lined them up in a straight line......
A flash of inspiration in my head!
"I thought about it. Chongyang shouted, immediately remotely controlled the cubes in the air, took five of them as a row, firmly applied spiritual power from both sides to merge them together, and then "put" the remaining four on top of the five cubes in turn, in such a half-shifted, half-loaded form, sure enough, I felt that the control was a little easier.
The rules of the spiritual space are different from the rules of the material world. It is not based on the physical "strength" but the difficulty of controlling the mental force. Physical power and mental power are completely different things.
In the mental space, nine individual cubes are more difficult to control than ten or even more than ten cubes that are half-shifted and half-loaded, so it is very stupid to control them separately!
"Ji Ji - I realized in this way that I am really a stupid disciple. The Fire Demon laughed.
"Didn't you tell me directly that you couldn't do it at first?" Chongyang frowned.
"Knowledge is only profound when you learn it yourself, as I said, I pay attention to cultivating ......"
"Shut up, you're a jerk!"
While fighting with the fire demon, Chongyang tried to move the cube in large numbers in a more energy-saving way.
Slowly, over time, the cubes accumulate more and more, from hundreds, to more than a thousand, to ten thousand...... Chongyang has also been slow from the beginning, and the control has become more and more proficient, faster and faster, and at most, it can remotely control twenty-seven black cubes at a time!
A towering black cube mountain is rapidly taking shape in the white space.
......
............
Dawn.
"Hah...... It's really choking...... "Chongyang, who woke up, faced the sun, and actually felt like a person in another world. How many hours did you spend in the mental space until the final mental exhaustion was too much to continue? a hundred, a thousand?
"My brain is numb...... Chongyang rubbed his temples. In the end, I estimated that the result should have been more than a month, right? I have been doing the same thing all the time, all the time, mechanically, and at the same time, I have become more and more proficient, and at the same time, I have also learned more skills.
Mana builds, will get faster and better!
"Don't be lazy, there are things that need to be exercised. The voice of the fire demon said.
"You old fellow, hey, why can't you practice magic in the mental space? In reality, you can exercise for that long in an hour, isn't it more efficient?" Chongyang asked.
"It is too difficult to simulate a mental space that is close to the environment of the current implementation of the law. It's like recreating a world in your head! It's hard for me to do it, and it's hard for you to bear it......."
"I see. Chongyang, who had experienced it for one night, immediately understood what the fire demon meant and nodded. The spiritual space of cultivation has only the simplest white, black, and cube ...... All because there are limitations.
"You can't enter the mental space every day, maybe once every three days is within the limits of tolerance, otherwise you risk becoming an idiot. ”
"The consequences are so severe?"
"Of course, if it weren't for your poor use of mental power, I wouldn't want to use this trick. ”
Chongyang's self-esteem was hit. After exercising in the mental space, he did realize that he was too far behind in terms of spiritual application techniques.
......
After Chongyang finished freshening up, he left the academy and went to the Brilliant Hotel first.
"Second brother, how is it?"
"Well, I didn't leave the hotel or find any suspicious person. Are we making too much of a fuss? Maybe we don't need to hire guards. Zhuoyang said. He still felt that hiring a guard was too much of a waste of money.
"Don't take it lightly, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. Chongyang insisted on the opinion.
Zhuoyang knew that he couldn't change Chongyang's opinion, so he could only let him do it.
Then I went to the Adventure Guild to confirm the commission...... As a result, the one he least wanted to see, or the one he most wanted to see, his escort commission was taken over by Yarrow and Philly's brigade.
Chongyang sighed, signed a contract, paid a deposit, and officially became the patron of his former friend. It feels a little weird.
"Would you like to meet the spokesperson of the Adventure Guild of the Warrior Philo Brigade right now?" asked the staff member with a professional smile.
One of the advantages of intermediary services is that the employer and the employer do not have to meet. Many nobles who are in need and have their own status will not want to deal with mercenaries who provide services in person. But there are also people who will feel at ease when they actually see each other's people.
Chongyang thought about it.
"No, you don't. ”
After the embarrassing scene last time, let's not meet if we can. It's just a business, that's all. Although Phillip and Yarrow look down on Chongyang, they are very familiar friends after all, and Chongyang believes in their attitude towards business and character. The scorching sun is under the protection of their brigade, so it should be reassuring.
Then, there was the intelligence about the Alexaron family. The information that the adventure union can find out is limited in privacy, but Chongyang is quite satisfied. After all, you get what you pay for, just as you can't expect to buy a lace newspaper and see state secrets.
The intelligence documents clearly list the simple historical origins of the Alexaron family, the list of the main members of the family on the surface, resumes, deeds, and general strength...... There is also a comprehensive analysis of family influence, power, industry, etc., which is very comprehensive and systematic. It is worthy of a professional shot.
"On the bright side, you can probably find these ......" Chongyang flipped through quietly, his eyes especially lingering on the avatar of "Daunes @ Alex Caron, the Grand Director of the Magic Association" for a long time.
As long as he promises Elder Richard, he can also become the head of the Magic Association immediately, and in terms of status, he can fight against Daunes himself, but what about power...... Definitely can't be played.
In the Alex Caron family, the highest position is Daunes's grandfather, the Holy Spirit level powerhouse, and Marcos @ Alex Caron, who is the elder of the Magic Association like Richard. However, compared to Richard's first-class elder, Marcos was only a third-class elder. Therefore, the Alex Caron family wants to have a relationship with the Howason family, which is obviously an act of clinging.
No wonder Elder Richard, the head of the Howason family, ignored this, a third-class elder he despised wanted to make friends through the marriage of grandchildren, which was indeed dispensable for him. If his granddaughter likes it, he doesn't mind marrying such an in-law, and if his granddaughter doesn't like it, he won't force it.
As for Richard, the people of the Howason family should have a relatively high degree of identification with the Alexandron family, and the reason for this is not clear. But Daunes' ability to stay with Frilian for so long is a tangible manifestation of their attitude. If it weren't for Elder Richard's failure to make a move, they would have sent Frilyn and Daunes into a pile long ago.
Miss Frilyn seems to be in the dark about her situation. This somewhat naïve woman didn't know that if it weren't for her Richard grandfather, she might well have become a victim of a political marriage.
......
Chongyang thought for a long time, looking for a breakthrough, and finally he rubbed his temples.
"It's important to keep Scorching Sun safe now, so that he can smoothly deepen his relationship with Miss Frelen, as long as he can establish a relationship with Miss Frelian sooner, things will be much easier......"
After worrying about his brother's business, he came to his own business.
"I'm going to the auction...... Chongyang finished dealing with the affairs of the adventure union, and a little excitement surged in his heart.
As long as you buy the herbs you need at auction, you can be cured of your magic deficiency disease!
As soon as I thought of this, I looked up at the sky and felt incomparably vast.
Peng: The result of walking without looking at the road is to bump into passers-by.
"Sorry......" Chongyang politely apologized.
"You don't have long eyes!" The young man in the green robe who was bumped into the shoulder had a very unhappy face, and glanced at Chongyang coldly, and suddenly a look of surprise flashed.
"You...... It's you!The guy who was standing next to the hillbilly during the duel!" the young man suddenly became angry, pointing at Chongyang's nose and shouting.
