Chapter 222: The True Meaning of Mental Cultivation
On the way to the Professional Guild, Bai Lidu saw the message Zhou Ruolan left for him earlier:
[Zhou Ruolan]: Are you out? This power of the five elements is so troublesome, I still have to collect spars, I'll go to find the fire monster first, and you can practice it yourself after you come out.
Oh? Still need a hedroon? Although he hadn't deliberately collected this thing before, he had also hit a lot, and there were still some in the package at the moment, so Bai Lidu casually ordered a mountain spar to check:
[Crystal] (mountain, crystal): The energy crystallization of the five elements of the basic system, which contains the energy of the mountain system, which can be used to activate or enhance the power of the five elements, requiring the body of the five elements of the same system, level requirements: level 20.
At present, he already has the body of the Vermilion Bird and the body of the Xuanbing, which means that he needs the spars of the fire and water systems, but after Bai Lidu checked the package, he found that the other three spars are more or less some, but there are no fire and water spars.
At this time, Bai Lidu had also come to the door of the professional guild, and since he had already arrived here, of course he had to go in and ask for an explanation.
When Bai Lidu walked into the professional guild, he first came to Dao Zhenmu and asked him:
"Master Zhenmu, apprentice, I have obtained the body of Xuan Ice, how should I master the power of the five elements?"
"Hmmm! Li Haoxia is so fast, and he has also obtained the most difficult Xuan Ice Body, I'm afraid that these five masters standing in the professional guild can't do it. β
- System Prompt: Since you took the lead in obtaining the Body of Ice, Dao Sect Mentor Dao Zhenmu's friendship with you increases by 100 points, and the relationship is upgraded from respect to reverence.
"Master Zhenmu has already talked about it, it's just luck in the next place, do you see the power of the five elements?" Bai Lidu was polite, and then asked again.
"Regarding the method of controlling the power of the five elements, I did promise you last time, since you have obtained the body of Xuan Ice, then I will tell you."
"Thank you, Master Maki!"
"First of all, when you have the body of the five elements, you can be regarded as having the foundation to control the power of the five elements, and the power of the five elements is divided into mountain, wood, water, fire, and earth. When you activate the power of the five elements in your body, your body can formally perceive, accept, condense and enhance the power of the five elements. β
"Oh, I see! Thank you, Master Maki, for your advice. After Bai Lidu thanked Dao Zhenmu, he came to the front of the mentor of the scholar profession, if it weren't for the fact that the power of the five elements needed to be activated, it is estimated that Bai Lidu would not have come to deal with the mentor of the scholar profession.
"Master Blunt Water, it's polite to be down." As Bai Lidu spoke, he made an arching motion.
"What a heart cultivator, what a great poet, and what a Li Haoxia, it took so long before I thought of coming to the old man!" Judging from the tone of his voice, Bai Lidu should have been angry.
"Oh? May I ask the blunt water master, is there something wrong with the bottom? It makes you so angry! Bai Lidu was also stunned by the other party's attitude, and he didn't know which part of his problem was.
"What's wrong? Then let me ask you, are you a mind cultivator? Ru Dull Water asked.
"Uh~~~ That's right, I'm indeed a heart cultivator......" Bai Lidu thought about it before answering confidently.
"Then tell me, what is a mind cultivator? What is the true meaning of mental cultivation? Ru Dushui immediately asked.
"Uh~~~ This spiritual cultivator is actually a new cultivation profession that has evolved from Buddhist cultivation and Taoist cultivation, as for the true meaning of this spiritual cultivation, let me think about it~~~." Bai Lidu directly said the definition of the profession of a mental cultivator according to his own understanding, but Bai Lidu had never thought about the true meaning of mental cultivation, so he was asked.
Bai Lidu hurriedly began to review the experience of the game in his mind in the past few days, and vaguely remembered that he had met several masters of the Daomen, all of whom had mentioned their cognition of heart cultivators and heart cultivation in front of him, among them, Master Zhang in the novice village and Master Lu of Xuanheguan seemed to have mentioned in front of him that the three sects converge and the three religions are one, Bai Lidu originally didn't take these dialogues too seriously, but now when he thinks about it, he immediately realizes the problem, the heart cultivator he has always thought, It is just a profession that can practice Buddhism and Taoism skills at the same time, and at the beginning, when he first entered Xuanshui Town, the task of praying for rain received from the chief deacon of the guild only involved Buddhism and Taoism, but now that he is related to the rhetoric of the integration of the three religions, he seems to have omitted Confucianism, so this Confucian blunt water will have such a big opinion.
"Master Blunt Shui, this heart cultivator should be a practitioner of the three religions in one, in addition to the practice of Buddhism and Taoism, should also be able to practice the practice of Confucianism, as for the true meaning of this heart cultivation, the apprentice believes that it should be to emphasize that the heart is the Tao, the heart is the Buddha, the heart is benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, the heart is the reason, the heart is not only a practice of the inner conscience, but also should be in action to achieve the unity of knowledge and action." Bai Lidu's brain reaction is also quite a block, when thinking about the problem of "heart cultivation", he suddenly remembered a biography about Wang Yangming that he had read, which mentioned some thoughts about "heart science", Bai Lidu's most impressive brain science is "heart is reason" and "the unity of knowledge and action", so he added these two points to some of his own understanding and knowledge, and used them on the spot to answer the question of Confucianism.
"Hmm~~ Your answer, the old man is quite satisfied, what are you doing here to find me now?" Ru Dull Water asked.
"Master of blunt water, apprentice, I have just obtained the body of Xuan Ice, but I still need to control the power of the five elements corresponding to it, I heard that the master can activate the power of the five elements of the water system of my physical strength, so apprentice, I came to the master for help." Bai Lidu replied.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to get the body of Xuanbing! That's amazing! β
- System prompt: Since you took the lead in obtaining the body of Xuanbing, the friendship between the scholar's professional mentor and you is increased by 100 points, and the relationship is upgraded from respect to reverence.
"If you want to activate the power of the five elements of the water system in your body, you can't, as long as you can collect 5 water system spars and give them to me, I can help you activate the power of the five elements of the water system." When the voice of the blunt water lands, a new quest prompt will appear:
- Quest Hint: You activated the Class Trial follow-up quest "Collect Crystals (Water)"
[Collect Crystals (Water)] (Follow-up Quest of Career Trial): Please find and kill water-based monsters in the map around Xuanshui Town, and collect 5 water-type crystals from them, and give them to the professional mentor Ru Dull Water, task reward: activate the power of the five elements.
Now that he has received the relevant tasks, Bai Lidu walked out of the professional guild hall, and at this time, he also remembered that the third attribute of his Water Ring should have been activated, so he opened the character panel to view:
[Water Ring] (yellow, fingers): Perfect Jewelry, 10-20 Spell Damage, +15 Spirit, +15 Constitution, +15 Intelligence, Durability: 65/65, Level Requirements: 15 (After thousands of years of clear spring washing, such a perfect ring was naturally formed)
- "Water Resistance", those who wear this ring can swim in the water without restrictions, and their swimming speed is increased by 15%;
- γWater Stand-inγ, when the wearer of this ring receives a damage that inevitably leads to death, a water quality stand-in will be automatically formed to bear the damage instead of the wearer, and the wearer will automatically recover 50% of the health and randomly appear 15 meters away, with a cooldown of 1 game day;
- [Xuan Ice Frost Explosion] (active skill): Consumes 100 mana to make the ground within 10 meters enter a state of extreme cold for 5 seconds, so that all existing targets and new targets in the range are immediately frozen, and when the extreme cold state is lifted, a larger explosion will occur, dealing skill damage equal to 150% of the spell damage to all targets within 15 meters, with a cooldown of 10 seconds. (Since you still haven't mastered the power of the five elements, the damage of this skill is only 80% of the normal value, and there are no special skills related to the power of the five elements)
