Chapter 60: A dilemma
Sitting quietly in the spiritual cultivation room, he felt an inexplicable power amplifying his spiritual perception, and at the same time, the power of an ordinary Qingliu class flowed through his mind, bringing a trace of coolness. In a matter of moments, Ivan was in a state of mind and had a clearer grasp and feeling of the meditation process.
"Is this the role of the Spiritual Cultivation House? It seems that it is indeed extraordinary, not only can it promote the state, but it can also make the cultivator stay awake while enhancing the spiritual activity, and finally strengthen the control of the spiritual power. The multiple effects add up to make meditation twice as effective with half the effort. ”
The difficulty of the Hundred Forging Meditation Method is that it requires a true understanding of the Hundred Forgings, and few magicians are willing to learn to strike iron. Moreover, meditation will bring a certain amount of mental suffering, and it is difficult for people who are not determined to persevere for a long time.
The strengthening of perception made Ivan have a different experience from the past, although the pain of tempering was strengthened, but at the same time, Ivan also felt the slow growth of mental power, which can be regarded as a typical bitter first and then sweet. Inferior meditation methods are not only inefficient, but also cause some mental damage; ordinary meditation methods are generally inefficient and are usually relatively mild methods that most people can use; while excellent meditation methods are very efficient and have some special principle, but they are not easy to use.
"I can clearly feel that the effect of the Hundred Forging Meditation Method has not yet been fully exerted, and it seems that the blacksmith needs to pay more attention. The growth of mental power is not only reflected in magic, but also helps in learning, and enhances memory and calculation skills. ”
It was another Sunday, and Ivan came to Sino's blacksmith shop as usual. After greeting the three senior brothers, I went in to meet Master Sino.
"It turned out to be Ivan, come and practice, you have it once a week, and you finally have some feel, and after stopping for five or six days, you almost forgot about it. The old blacksmith said with some sighs.
"I can't help this, I still have to study on weekdays, and I only have time on Sundays. Ivan stretched out his hands and shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he was also helpless! First, take a while to familiarize yourself with the feel, and then slowly experience it and feel the feedback of the iron.
It's another day's hard work, striking iron is hard work, and practice is energy-consuming. After such a day, Ivan frowned a little at today's harvest, and there seemed to be no progress.
"It seems that you are also feeling that your progress is getting closer and closer to nothing. I've always said that striking iron is a job that depends on feelings, and if you want to make progress, you have to be hot. You can persist until today because of your talent, otherwise your level would not have improved a long time ago. ”
"I have two suggestions for you, one is to stop practicing for the time being, and wait until your academy is out for the holidays to come back to sprint. The second is to ask the academy for leave to concentrate on practicing, and in less than a month I am sure you can achieve it. But magic is important, so you can pause and come back on vacation. ”
Ivan didn't expect things to be like this, it seems that striking iron is indeed no better than learning, not to accumulate idlely, but to concentrate on sprinting. If it drags on for a long time, it will affect the efficiency of cultivation, but if you take a leave of absence, it will delay your studies, which is really a dilemma.
"Okay master, I'll think about it carefully, and then I'll give you an answer, how about it?"
"You're in charge of your own affairs, I'm just giving you a suggestion. I don't have much to teach you about ironsmithing, but if you still want to learn blacksmithing, I can teach you slowly. The old blacksmith went to take care of the business.
It was nearly dusk, and Ivan said goodbye to the old blacksmith and returned to the academy, and he was a little unsure of how to choose Ivan. "By the way, I can ask Dean Will! he must know which is important. As soon as he said go, Ivan immediately went straight to Dean Will's residence with the tokens given by Dean Will. This was the first time Ivan had taken the initiative to visit, and he didn't know if Dean Will was there.
"It turned out to be Ivan, I said who came to me so late, this is the first time you have taken the initiative to find me, is there anything wrong?" Dean Will was looking through the documents in the room, probably dealing with the affairs of the academy.
"That's right, in order to learn the Hundred Forging Meditation Method you taught me, I went to a master to learn how to strike iron, and I went on Sundays on weekdays. Today's master said that my iron-striking level has come to a standstill, because I can't find time to specialize. If you can't learn how to do a hundred exercises, then the effect of meditation will not be reflected, but there are a lot of courses on weekdays, and if you take time to practice, you will delay learning and training. For this reason, I would like to ask you if there is a way to do both, or which option I think is better. ”
Ivan asked his own questions and waited for Dean Will's answer.
"You came to ask for advice, but why didn't I feel your doubts? You little fox! Judging by your calm attitude, you know that you have already made a judgment, and you just let me be a coolie here!" Dean Will was shocked, and Ivan had to wonder if there was a magic called mind reading!
Ivan did have a plan, and he came up with it on the way here. Cultivation is always what Ivan cares about the most, and everything he does on weekdays is to have more time and better efficiency to cultivate. The lack of magical knowledge can be a big problem for others, and not being able to make up for it quickly will greatly delay the learning process. But for Ivan, it can be made up quickly, and more importantly, Ivan can find Dean Will to tutor.
"Lord Dean, where did you think about me? Didn't I ask for advice, officially because of you, I don't have to worry, because I know that you must have a good way. Ivan patted the dean's ass lightly, and said that he was happy, and he held it high, and Dean Will was embarrassed not to help himself.
"The secret of this meditation method lies in the hundred forging, and the hundred forging into refinement, and this is how the refined iron came about. Magic weapons are too expensive, and low-level warriors use weapons that are generally made of fine iron. The Hundred Forging Meditation Method transforms the mystery of forging into the mystery of tempering the spirit through complex calculations, although it is not the same, but the root is the same. Mastering it as soon as possible is the most important thing!" Dean Will talked about the matter of the Hundred Forging Method before finally giving a suggestion.
"I also want to master it as soon as possible and benefit from it as soon as possible, but the teacher will not give me a long leave because of this, and I can't delay my studies. Ivan followed Dean Will's words, expressing his concern in passing.
"Okay, little slippery head, aren't you here to ask me for help, if I approve it for you, you can talk to your teacher." If the actual combat training class is delayed, you can find time to practice on your own; as for the knowledge course that is pulled down, you don't have to attack my idea, I've been busy lately. ”
"My dean, help me to the end, although I am confident that I can learn the knowledge course quickly, I must be taught!" Ivan pleaded.
"Listen to me!" Dean Will pulled out a strange item and continued, "This is a magic tool whose function is to record and release the light, shadow and sound received, and the reception and release of light and shadow are not on the same side. You can ask your classmates to help you record lessons. Isn't it amazing?"
"I'll go! isn't this a camera! How else can magic do this?" Ivan was a little surprised as he picked up the strange magic tool and looked at it carefully.
"What kind of camera are you? It's called a Returning to the Origin Magic Apparatus, have you ever seen anything like that?" Dean Will was a little curious about Ivan's reaction.
"Well, I met it by chance, and it's far worse than this one of yours, Dean. I can't remember exactly what happened, but please forgive me, Dean. Ivan prevaricated with vague words.
"It's something that has only recently come out, and you're probably seeing someone who experimented with the product. The Shadow Crystal and the Gramophone Box have appeared for a long time, but no one has united them. This is a new type of magic tool passed down from the Arcane Empire, and its name is Returning to the Roots. It combines the first two and can record what happened in an area. "Dean Will told Ivan about the origin of this thing.
"How long can it be recorded?"
"Lasts for three or four days, this thing can be used at intervals, and if you only record the class time, it can support more than twenty days, which is enough for you to deal with the problem. ”
"Awesome! Thank you, Dean, it's almost enough to do both, but how do you use this thing?"
"Come, I'll teach you. Let's open it up first...... And then like this...... This is how it is when you look at it...... Okay, remember?"
"Remember, I guess, why don't you do it again? Ivan was a little uncertain and said that he didn't expect this thing to be inconvenient to use at all, far worse than the camera!
Dean Will demonstrated it again, and then admonished, "Don't break it for me, or you won't be able to afford to sell it, this thing is expensive! ”
"Don't worry, Dean, I'll be careful, besides, this thing looks sturdy, and it won't be okay if it's not a big move. Ivan weighed the so-called "return to the source" and found that the quality was really good and would not be easily damaged.
Also, striking iron is a thing that pays attention to experience and feeling, your mental power is naturally strong, and your perception is sharper than ordinary people, and you will find it easier than you think. Before leaving, Dean Will explained a few more words to Ivan.
"I remember, Dean, you have a good rest, I will master the Hundred Forging Method as soon as possible, I am reluctant to let such a good thing go to waste. Ivan waved goodbye to Dean Will.
"What a sensible child, and he knows how to care about my rest. Dean Will nodded with satisfaction, and in a blink of an eye, he found that it was ten o'clock in the evening.
"No, this stinky boy, if he hadn't come over and troubled me, I would have rested a long time ago. He also pretended to care about my rest, what a cunning little fox. Although what he said about Ivan was not good, a smile on the corner of his mouth exposed Dean Will's heart, and he was still very satisfied with Ivan, that is, cultivating elemental magic was too wasteful of talent. Dean Will couldn't help but think of that thought again, "...... hey" sighed, and buried that thought in his heart again.
