Chapter Forty-Nine: A Different Kind of Magical Practice
"Purr baa haha, baby wakes up early~"
Lin Na is still alive, and Li You is in a good mood. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoEarly in the morning, Li You happily hummed the little song he made up and got up happily.
The only regret is that early in the morning, the morning light outside the window is faint, but Li You's room is blocked by thick curtains. Li You really wanted to get up early in the morning, so that he could open the curtains and open the windows, let the warm morning sun shine all over his body, and let his body and mind ripple in the fragrance of grass and flowers outside Rukia's small building.
This day will come soon!
With Rukia's help today, Lee Woo will begin to perceive the light element and build a connection with the light element.
Today's study is not next to the flower platform on the third floor, but in a secret room underground.
The chamber was empty, with nothing but mirrors.
Countless large pieces of mirrors were plastered to the floor, walls, and roofs, covering the entire room. Even when you come in, there is a mirror.
"This is my cultivation room, and I have a lot of magic stones to use. Using magic stones to cultivate in this kind of room is much more efficient than using magic stones in the sun. After Rukia closed the door, the room was dark and there was no light: "Your level is too low, you don't need magic stones." So let me continue to release a lighting spell to fill this mirrored space with light. ā
It was rare for Rukia not to wear a lace tutu dress today, but to change to a white plain robe.
After Rukia Smeared by feeling and walked to the middle of the room, which was less than ten square meters, a small light appeared in her hand. The light then grew larger and larger, eventually turning into a ball of light slightly larger than a basketball, floating behind Rukia's head.
In this room, which is all mirrors, the light that already emits strong light is even more dazzling. The bright light emitted by the light cluster was all reflected back by the mirror, filling the space without a trace of waste.
Because this is the light created by the mana of pure light, it does not carry a trace of heat. The kind of heat generated by too much light that Li You expected did not happen. After all, this is magic and not science, and the light of magic is light, which is completely different from the light with heat in science.
Under the bright light, Rukia's long pale blonde hair was completely white, and it seemed to glow. Her eyes were very cold, and only occasionally softened when she looked at Li You. He has fair skin and wears white shoes on his feet. Except for her indifferent, somewhat terrifying purple pupils, her whole body was snow-white, as if her body was also glowing under the bright light.
Li You felt that Rukia should be more suitable for the title of child of light than herself, she really seemed to be a fairy of light who was not stained with mortal dust, but she was a vampire with the blood of darkness.
"Rukia, it occurred to me that mirrors can reflect light, so as long as the enemy has mirrors, won't we light mages be restrained?" asked Li You, after pulling his thoughts back from Rukia.
Rukia explains, "In the beginning, mirrors were really able to reflect light magic. But as long as you pass the first order, after reaching the second order, the strength of the light magic is enough to destroy the mirror, and the mirror will not pose any threat to the light mage. Of course, specially made mirror magic weapons can still resist light magic, but except for those Taoist cultivators in Huaxia Kingdom, no one will go to great lengths to refine a mirror that has no effect other than defending against light magic. Taoist priests, like us, are all bright, so there is no threat. ā
After Li You nodded in understanding, Rukia continued, "After you close your eyes and find your most comfortable position, you can start meditating and feeling. ā
As a traditional Chinese, Li You always felt that meditation was the most standard cultivation posture, so in Rukia's strange eyes, Li You sat cross-kneeled.
"Is this kind of posture really comfortable for Huaxia cultivators?" Lukia muttered, "I always lie down and meditate. ā
"Eh, is that okay?" Li Youzheng felt that his knees were strangely uncomfortable when he was meditating, and suddenly heard Rukia muttering like this, and suddenly asked in surprise.
Rukia said, "Of course, I said, how comfortable is that posture! I don't understand why Chinese cultivators love to meditate, anyway, if a magician says, meditation is useless except for making people's backaches!"
Li You's worldview was shocked again...... It turns out that the novels are all deceitful! Magicians don't need to meditate on their knees at all!
As for why the cultivators of the Huaxia Kingdom meditate cross-legged, Li You estimated that there were many reasons for the meridians and acupoints in the Huaxia Kingdom's cultivation system. In the practice of vampires and magicians, the meridian acupoints do not play a role, so meditation is useless.
Li You is not a person who likes to masochist, there are comfortable and simple methods, Li You will never use uncomfortable and difficult methods. So even though he knew that meditation was beneficial, Li You quickly lay flat on the mirrored floor with his face facing the sky.
"What should I do now? It won't be for me to lie down and sleep, right?" Li You didn't know why, but when he got along with Rukia, he would always get up casually unconsciously.
Rukia glanced at Li You and said, "Of course not!"
Li You closed his eyes, but his vision was slightly red. It's probably like the feeling of reddish gaze when you close your eyes when the sun rises at noon.
Rukia's voice became very gentle, like a gentle loli hypnotist, and whispered in Li You's ear, "Relax, empty yourself." ā
"Imagine that you are now lying in a void space. You're lying in this light-lit space where there's nothing up or down, left or right, and you're relaxed......"
"You take a deep breath and imagine as you exhale...... Imagine that your toes are completely relaxed, without the slightest stress......"
"Take another deep breath. Imagine that your calves are completely relaxed......"
Thighs, buttocks, waist, abdomen, hands, and then Rukia continued: "Now, take a deep breath and exhale slowly......"
"Imagine that your mind is incredibly open-minded, relaxed, and stress-free......"
"Imagine that your neck is completely relaxed. Your head relaxes, your face relaxes......"
After a long period of hypnosis, Rukia said, "You're completely relaxed now if there's any pressure anywhere in your body." ā
"Now, can your consciousness trust me completely and follow my instructions to imagine?"
Li You has not been hypnotized, and this first time, he is completely relaxed.
Rukia had no reason to hurt herself, she couldn't do this, so Li You didn't think about it: "Yes." ā
"There's some light in the space you're in. ā
"All before your eyes is light. ā
"Imagine that the void space you are in is completely filled with light. ā
"Now, all around you is white. Countless pulsing light elements are active around you, feel them, communicate with them......"
Li You has completely forgotten where he is, he has completely entered the space of imagination, completely followed Rukia's guidance, and began to imagine and feel.
"Feel...... Communication......" Rukia repeated these two words a few times gently and slowly, and then did not speak again. She quietly looked at the man lying in front of her, and waited quietly.
It is impossible for an ordinary light mage to have this kind of treatment when they get started. They all felt it themselves in the process of basking in the sun, but Rukia was completely devoted to Li You, so she gave Li You the best and top treatment.
Rukia quietly looked at Li You who was trapped in a dream, without a trace of impatience, but thought: "Even if this kind of hypnotic guidance works very well, it shouldn't work once, after all, it took me two months at the beginning." Eh, I've really put a lot of thought into him, and I'm going to do it every day in the future, and I hope he won't let me down. ā
In his dream, Li You felt that he was floating in the vast white space.
Forget the time, forget the up, down, left, right, forget everything. All Li You could feel was the endless whiteness.
Li You suddenly felt that this white didn't seem to be a whole.
White, it seems to be ...... Countless little things.
Since Li You had this awareness, the whiteness around him has changed.
White began to shrink and turn into clusters of light. Beyond the cluster of light is the void.
These clusters of light swirled and jumped happily around Li You.
Outside of her dreams, Rukia was shocked once more.
The light around was concentrated on Li You, and Li You, like Rukia, began to have a faint circle of light around his body.
"This is the first time!He actually started to attract light elementals?!" Rukia was shocked: "It took me two months to successfully establish a connection with the light element, and it took me a week to attract light elements! I am the most talented light mage in Huaxia......! He actually started to attract light elementals for the first time?! I really, picked up a genius ......"
Li You felt that these palm-sized clusters of light were like some naughty elves and children.
Some of them are disobedient.
Li You wanted to touch them, and they ran. Li You didn't move, and they began to naughtily circle and jump around Li You again......
"Awake?"
I don't know how long it took, Li You opened his eyes, and Rukia still asked with a standard indifferent look.
Li You let out an "um" and told Rukia what he dreamed of.
Rukia hid her surprise and said lightly, "This is normal, no one can make the elements obedient during the first meditation. ā
"It's a long-term process, and every day from now on, I'm going to do this hypnosis on you. After that, you can read the magic books and expand your knowledge base. ā
"Remember, elemental spirits are lively, don't communicate with them in a tough, rigid way. Although they are not self-aware, they are like small children. If you are tough, it will be tough with you, and if you are rigid, it will not give you flexible communication. Only when you find their point can you make them obedient and useful to you. ā
Li You also knew that magic was not achieved overnight, so he turned around and asked, "That's ...... I'm a beginner in magic, and if I continue like this, I'll be able to become a light mage?"
"Of course!"
Li You died of joy!
It turns out that the conflict between vampires and light magic, which I had been worried about before, is not a problem at all! It is simply that Li You was misled by the vampire tradition of Cain's bloodline, and this practice of light magic is not wrong at all for Li You of Lilith's bloodline!
Li You's path of light mage and cultivation are finally on the right track!
