Chapter 17: Cultivation
At the beginning of the lanterns, the bright moonlight pours down from the clouds and sprinkles onto the world.
"Mom, where did you leave my meditation mat?" After messing up the room and still not being able to find what he was looking for, Zhang Ning had no choice but to run to the hall and ask Wei Xuejuan, who was watching a TV series.
"Meditation mat?" Wei Xuejuan glanced at Zhang Ning strangely. "Don't you want to cultivate spiritual power, I see that the mat takes up too much space, so I put it downstairs. ”
"I suddenly want to cultivate, can't I?" After dropping these words, Zhang Ning ran downstairs like the wind.
"This kid, I guess he was stimulated again today. Wei Xuejuan pushed He Feng beside her. "How long do you think he'll last this time?"
"Don't you know your own child, he is just three minutes hot, and he can't last long. He Feng said lightly.
"Hey, Ziyou was originally extremely smart, but unfortunately he didn't have patience. Wei Xuejuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Speaking of which, don't you think Ziyou's meal is a bit big these days? Tonight he ate three more bowls of rice. It seemed that she had thought of something, Wei Xuejuan said suddenly.
"Maybe I'm growing up, it's nothing, I ate more when I was a kid. He Feng said indifferently.
While the two were talking, Zhang Ning had already walked in carrying a large disc with a diameter of about one meter and a width of ten centimeters. "Mom and Dad, I want to cultivate my spiritual power, don't come to trouble me if it's okay. ”
After speaking, Zhang Ning closed the door with a "bang".
"This is the meditation mat......"
Carefully placed the disc on the balcony, looking at the disc shining silver in the moonlight, Zhang Ning couldn't help but be amazed.
The disc was covered with dense magic patterns, Zhang Ning counted them, from the outside to the inside, there were a total of thirty-three layers of magic patterns on the disk. Each layer of magic patterns is different, some undulating like waves, some are tightly connected like vines, and some are like flames, as if they were burning in the moonlight.
With Zhang Ning's current knowledge, he only recognized half of the demon pattern, and he was still the kind that he didn't understand.
"Sure enough, there is no end to learning. Looking at Xuan Ao's extraordinary magic pattern, Zhang Ning's pride because of the rapid progress in his studies during this period disappeared in an instant.
In the center of the disc covered with magic patterns was a recess of a pentagram, about the size of a palm, glowing with a faint white light. If you look closely, you will find that the five corners of this pentagram correspond to the five most luxuriant points in each layer of magic patterns.
This pentagram recess is the jack of the meditation mat.
There are no wiring in the house in this life, and naturally there is no socket. Replacing the socket is a pentagram crystal that represents the power supply.
The pentagram crystal is a product invented by humans through the study of magic crystals, and has the function of storing and releasing power. In this life, each household will have a large pentagram crystal, which can absorb the power of the power plant through the action of magic patterns, and store the power in the crystal at the same time.
When you need electricity on weekdays, you only need to take out the pentagram crystal on top of the large pentagram and put the pentagram crystal ** into the jack.
After taking out the pentagram hanging from the large pentagram and stuffing the crystal into the recess in the disc, a faint white light suddenly lit up in the center of the disc. White light spilled out quickly from the center, and in the blink of an eye, it flowed through the thirty-three layers of magic patterns. And just after the thirty-three layers of magic patterns were covered with a faint white light, the disc shook violently, and the white light disappeared instantly, regaining calm.
Only by looking closely could you see that the thirty-three layers of magic patterns in the disc were beginning to shine.
In this life, in order to better play the role of magic crystals and alchemy patterns, people are constantly researching various methods. After hundreds of years of research, the use of spiritual power to stimulate magic patterns and magic crystals has become the most significant and effective method.
People's mental power has a strong room for upgrading, but because there is no systematic exercise, people's mental power is generally very low. However, if you want to stimulate the magic crystal and alchemy pattern, you need a huge amount of spiritual power, so based on this requirement, the meditation mat was created.
After the combination of the thirty-three layers of alchemy patterns on the meditation mat, it has the effect of compressing and purifying the spiritual power. After activating the meditation mat, you only need to control the spiritual power to circulate in order on the thirty-three layers of magic patterns, and the spiritual power will be improved.
However, perhaps because this is a magical civilization world, the spiritual power of this world has no other effect except for stimulating the reaction of magic crystals and magic patterns, and it is impossible for those so-called people to gain abilities or become smarter by exercising their spirits.
Therefore, although the cultivation of spiritual power has also become a part of the study, it is only an elective subject.
Generally speaking, those who cultivate spiritual power are workers who need to come into contact with magic crystals or magic patterns, but parents all over the world, in order to let their children master more skills, He Feng gritted his teeth and bought a meditation mat for Zhang Ning when the meditation mat came out.
It's a pity that Zhang Ning is a lazy person, and he can still diligently cultivate his spiritual power for the first three days before he gets the meditation mat, but after three days, he only practices occasionally. In the end, I stopped touching the meditation mat. It is precisely because of this that the meditation mat was received by Wei Xuejuan to the garage downstairs.
And the reason why Zhang Ning found out the meditation mat again now is because of the last time he engraved the magic pattern on his body.
After finding no source of pain, Zhang Ning attributed the problem to mental strength. After all, the inscription of the magic pattern needs to be supported by mental power, and the lack of mental power may cause the failure of the magic pattern inscription.
Although the last magic pattern was the simplest spirit gathering magic pattern, and the spiritual power needed to be provided was not much, and the final magic pattern was also successfully inscribed, but after Zhang Ning thought about it carefully, he decided that it was because his spiritual power was not pure enough, which led to the success of the magic pattern inscription, but the magic pattern itself underwent unknown changes, which made him feel painful.
It is also proven that the mutation of the magic pattern itself is due to the impure reason of the spiritual power, so after finding the reason all over the place, Zhang Ning naturally regarded the spiritual power as the culprit of the failure.
In addition, it will take more profound spiritual power to engrave high-level magic patterns in the future, so after Zhang Ning inadvertently learned from his sister He Xin that there was a meditation mat at home, he decided to use the meditation mat to exercise his mental power.
Putting his hands on the dense magic pattern, Zhang Ning's eyes closed slightly, and he carefully turned his spiritual power into a stream, which slowly flowed to the first layer of magic pattern.
Cool!
Just after the spiritual power penetrated into the first layer of magic patterns, a cold feeling instantly hit Zhang Ning's heart, and that feeling was like drinking a glass of ice water in the hot summer, which made people's spirits shock!
Although the structure of the first ten layers of magic patterns is relatively simple, there are many obstacles at the junction of each layer of magic patterns, and it takes a certain amount of time to break through the level and enter the next layer, so the simplest ten layers of magic patterns also took Zhang Ning nearly ten minutes. After completing these ten layers of magic patterns, Zhang Ning clearly felt that his spiritual power had changed from a stream to a river.
Zhang Ning knew in his heart that the reason why his spiritual power would change so much was mainly because of the amplification effect of the magic patterns on the meditation mat, once he left the meditation mat, his spiritual power would turn into a stream again.
"It's not very difficult, why didn't I like to exercise my mental power before?" After successfully completing the rotation of the ten layers of magic patterns, Zhang Ning couldn't help but have this thought in his heart.
Less than a minute later, he knew why.
"Damn, isn't it?Ice and Fire?" As soon as the spiritual power flowed into the eleventh layer of the Demon Pattern, the initial cold feeling disappeared, and the spiritual power suddenly became extremely hot. The scorching heat was not your average heat, it was like being taken into the desert and exposed to the midday sun.
Not only that, while feeling the fierce heat, the spiritual power that was flexible just now also became obscure, and the spiritual power that could have advanced rapidly seemed to be blocked, and not taking a step forward would make Zhang Ning spend a lot of energy.
"I finally understand why I used to give up. ”
