"Cousin? Was that Baixiao your cousin? You can't rely on connections to come to the Jade Pavilion as a guard, right? ”

Paimon crossed his arms and looked at Jinhae with a suspicious gaze.

"What. Cousin, don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense, you must have heard it wrong! ”

After speaking.

Zhenhai didn't give Paimon a chance to refute, and hurriedly pushed open the door and went in to find Baixiao.

"What, acting so flustered, isn't it the 'there are no Mora two or three here'!"

Paimon complained speechlessly.

"Well, what a strange metaphor."

Li Qiuzhi didn't expect that Liyue had an allusion similar to "There are no silver taels here", could it be that this is the similarity of the development of human society in different worlds?

"Hehe, everyone uses this as a metaphor for someone who wants to hide something, but shows his feet."

Paimon said with his hands behind his back and a smile.

It didn't take long for Zhenhai to walk out with Bai Xiao, one of Ningguang's secretaries, she looked at a few people and waved hello, and then said:

"If you look for Miss Shenhe, she will go out for morning exercise in the early morning when it seems to be dark, and she said that if you want to find her, you can go to the top of Tianheng Mountain."

Bai Xiao relayed what he had learned.

"Tianheng Mountain. Well, got it. ”

Li Qiuzhi nodded, he didn't expect Shenhe to go out so early, he was worthy of being a disciple of the Immortal Family, he was really self-disciplined.

"Then let's go to Tianheng Mountain now." Paimon said with a smile.

"Hmm."

Ying stroked the ends of the blonde hair on the side of her face and said with a tap on her chin.

Tianheng Mountain is not far from the side of the Jade Pavilion, and even by creating a wind field on the Jade Pavilion, you can rise to a higher place and fly directly to the side of Tianheng Mountain.

This saves a lot of time on the climb.

That's what they think, and that's what they do.

"Wow, I saw Liyue Harbor, there are so many houses and buildings!"

Paimon grabbed the white streamer from the glowing dress so that it wouldn't be blown away by the air currents in the air.

At this time, she looked through the towering peaks of Tianheng Mountain with some excitement at Liyue Harbor over there.

"Okay, I've seen it many times, let's fly to Tianheng Mountain quickly."

Li Qiuzhi drove the wind element to blow the three forward.

I have to say that the wind elemental power is indeed very useful, although it is not the elemental power that is known for its power.

However, it is especially useful to assist in exploration, especially when on the road, with Wind Wings.

According to his current degree of control over the wind element, he would probably be able to make a wind field by himself and rise about thirty meters.

He Yingli can probably fly a hundred meters on the spot, which is why he is sure to fly over Tianheng Mountain smoothly.

After all, it is supported by the wind element, and it will not slowly decline, and the disadvantage is that the consumption of physical strength is a bit large.

Of course, with the specialty of "abundant life", compared with ordinary people, Li Qiuzhi can still hold on a little longer.

If you want to consume less and fly higher and faster, you can only improve the "Wind Elemental Mastery" skill.

It's a pity that the "Form Concealment" was only upgraded to the full level yesterday, and a lot of experience points were consumed, and there is no way to vote for the "Wind Element Control" for the time being.

Then again.

Ying is capable of controlling the Seven Elements, but they have been in Liyue for so long, and they have yet to meet the Statue of the Seven Heavens.

Therefore, she did not resonate and awaken the power of the rock element.

It seems that the next time I go to the Adventurers' Guild to receive a commission, I will have to ask Catherine if there is a statue of the Seven Heavens in the wilderness.

The sooner Ying awakens the rock element, the faster she will be able to become familiar with it.

Just as Li Qiuzhi was thinking, they soon approached Tianheng Mountain.

Most of the mountains are covered by dense vegetation, but in some places there are stony mountains with no grass and some marcasite and iron ore exposed.

These ores are difficult to dig and are not worth much, and even adventurers rarely climb mountains to dig them.

Of course, if it's a crystal mine, that's a different story.

Li Qiuzhi and they landed on this stony mountain, Tianheng Mountain was higher than expected, and they had no way to fly directly to the top of the mountain.

So I had to put away the wings of the wind and continue to walk along the trail.

Fortunately, this is already a mountainside location, and after walking for more than ten minutes, Li Qiuzhi and they reached the top of the mountain, where there are no tall plants, but are covered with dwarf grass.

The girl, whose long white hair is beginning to be braided in the middle, is sitting cross-legged on a flat stone, meditating with her eyes closed.

If you look closely, the stone is too smooth and flat, and it must have been cut by a weapon.

"It's Shenhe, let's go say hello."

As he spoke, little Paimon with the crown on his head was about to fly forward to say good morning, but at this time, Li Qiuzhi hurriedly pulled her and said:

"Let's wait for now, Shenhe is obviously meditating and practicing, let's not disturb for the time being."

"Well, it seems to be true."

Paimon pressed his index finger to his lower lip and observed for a moment that Shenhe was extremely quiet, as if he was at one with the natural environment.

It seems that he is indeed practicing.

Ying stood on a piece of dirt with no grass.

The golden hairends and skirt are slightly lifted by the breeze in front of them, and the calf line wrapped in over-the-knee boots is well-proportioned and soft, and the snow-white thighs exposed from the cuffs of the boots are also dazzling.

She also closed her eyes, as if feeling something.

After a few seconds, Li Qiuzhi saw the oncoming breeze, and suddenly stopped, and there was a faint fluctuation of wind elemental power on Ying's body.

She opened her eyes, revealing a pair of amber pupils that glowed with excitement.

"What's wrong? Could it be that you suddenly have some realization? Li Qiuzhi asked curiously.

"Well, I felt the rhythm of the wind on the top of the mountain just now, and now I should be more proficient in the use of wind elemental power."

Ying tapped her chin.

"You're here."

Shenhe, who was wearing a bra-covered bolero over a black one-piece leather jacket, also felt a little abnormal in the environment, so he finished meditating and stood up from the flat stones, looked at Li Qiu and said.

"Hehe, good morning Shenhe, we didn't disturb your cultivation."

Paimon waved his hand and flew forward. Li Qiuzhi and Ying slowly followed behind, and stopped when they walked in front of Shenhe.

"I have enough time to meditate, and it's not in the way." Shenhe shook his head slightly, indicating that the problem was not serious, and continued, "You are here to learn how to exercise mental power. ”

"Yes." Li Qiuzhi smiled and nodded.

Although it was mainly Li Qiuzhi who wanted to learn this, since Ying and Paimon were both here, they naturally learned it by the way, and it didn't make a difference to teach a few anyway.

"Let's start now, and you can find a place to sit cross-legged."

Shenhe folded his hands under his chest, and his flat and smooth lower abdomen was faintly revealed through the black silk fabric of the bodysuit.

"Sit cross-legged? Do you want to meditate like you do? ”

Paimon touched his hair and asked, confused.

"Yes, the method I taught you to exercise your mental power is called 'Concentration Technique', which can be practiced even by river fish with no talent, so it shouldn't be difficult for you."

Shenhe sat down on the flat stone again, and Li Qiuzhi, Ying, and Paimon all sat on the ground.

Ying also deliberately folded the hem of her skirt twice and cushioned her buttocks wrapped in white bloomers shorts before sitting cross-legged, otherwise the tips of the grass leaves would be a little itchy on her buttocks and thighs.

After getting ready, several people looked at Shenhe with some expectation and listened to her follow-up explanation.

"The main principle of the 'Concentration Technique' is to gather and condense the spiritual power, and in this process, the spiritual power will increase due to repeated exercise, and become more 'strong'."

Shenhe is not good at teaching others, but she also learned this technique under the guidance of her master when she first practiced.

So now she just needs to repeat in similar words how the master explained at that time.

Li Qiuzhi and Ying both nodded, "Divine Concentration Technique", it is easy to understand by looking at the name.

"Then let's start the first step."

After Shenhe saw that everyone understood clearly, he continued to speak:

"The first step, according to Master, is to shield the distracting thoughts in your heart and enter a state of physical and mental peace without emotional fluctuations, only in this way can you easily perceive your spiritual power."

This step should not be difficult, when Master taught her, she only took two minutes to do it.

"Well, let's try."

Li Qiuzhi, who was sitting cross-legged, tapped his head, and closed his eyes at the same time as Ying and Paimon, trying to block out the distractions in his heart.

When I didn't start doing it yet, I thought it would be easy.

But in fact, the more Li Qiuzhi wanted to dismiss those distracting thoughts, such as Fischl's body being so soft and wanting to touch Ying's thighs, it came out more.

For example, the soft touch of Fischl's calves and ankles through black semi-sheer stockings.

The more you try to get rid of these thoughts, the more they are like a surging flood, and there is no way to stop them!

Half an hour later, Li Qiuzhi slowly opened his eyes and sighed silently.

He found it to be a daunting challenge for him to let go of distractions.

This has nothing to do with willpower, because distracting thoughts are also people's thoughts themselves, accustomed to their existence, and it takes a lot of effort to change them.

It probably won't be a day and a half to succeed.

He looked left and right, and found that Ying next to him was still closing her eyes to collect distracting thoughts, and her calm expression seemed to have some effect?

And little Paimon next to her was already lying completely on the ground, his eyes blank as if he was spinning in circles, and it was obvious that he had failed.

With experience, Li Qiuzhi didn't have to think about it to know that as soon as Paimon closed his eyes, what came out of his head was full of all kinds of delicacies.

Looking at so many delicious foods, I probably didn't know which one to choose, so I simply dizzed myself.

After another half hour, Ying finally opened her eyes slowly.

"Well, did you succeed?" Li Qiuzhi asked with some curiosity.

With his eyes closed for so long, he felt that there should be something fruitful.

"Well, I seem to feel spiritual power, formless and insubstantial, like some kind of 'force field'."

Ying stretched out the tip of her pink tongue and moistened her dry upper and lower lips slightly.

"What about you?" She asked Li Qiuzhi.

"Well, I was a little bit cranky, and it didn't work out." Li Qiuzhi shrugged helplessly and replied.

"Huh, stupid!"

Ying glanced at him in disgust, everyone ate and lived together and traveled and adventured together, and naturally knew what kind of virtue this guy was.

It's nothing more than thinking about the soft body of the white flowers under the girl's clothes.

"I also failed, what I just saw was all delicious, so how can I be willing to block them."

Paimon sighed as he floated in midair.

Ying helplessly held his forehead, these two guys loved a certain aspect of things in essence, and they both reached the point of being defenseless.

So it's no wonder that you can successfully get started with the "Concentration Technique"!

"Master said before that mortals care about Hongchen, so it's normal for distracting thoughts to fail, if you really can't succeed, you can use the 'Tranquility Rune' to assist."

Shenhe saw the situation of several people.

Although nothing happened that she imagined that all three of them could easily succeed.

But she also knows that several people live in big cities, and there are many disturbances, and it may be really difficult to calm the mind.

So she was ready to use additional aids for unsuccessful use.

"'Tranquility Talisman', I feel very useful when I hear the name, hurry up and give it to us!"

Paimon heard that he still had hope, and excitedly clenched his small fist in mid-air, and quickly said.

"Hmm."

Shenhe stood up and took out two previously made "tranquilizing talismans" from the Eye of the Gods.

They are ice-blue rectangular, as if they were made entirely of the element ice, a thin sheet.

"Miss Shenhe, how do you use this?"

Li Qiuzhi and little Paimon each took a "tranquilizing talisman" and asked.

"Just stick it on your forehead and it will work."

It was not a scorching sun, but it shone on the delicate snow-white skin revealed by the diamond-shaped cutouts on both sides of Shenhe's black one-piece leather coat on both sides of his waist and hips, and there was a faint reflection.

Li Qiuzhi pasted the "tranquil talisman" to the door of his head according to Shenhe's words. Uh, there's a feeling of playing zombie.

The next second.

Sure enough, as Shenhe said, the "Tranquility Rune" had an effect, and a cold energy poured into his mind.

I felt like my consciousness was in a silent refrigerator, and all kinds of distractions were quiet.

This "tranquilizer" seems to have the effect of treating mental injuries, and it is a bit overkill to just block distracting thoughts.

No wonder Shenhe didn't take it out at first, after all, if he could do it, there was no need to waste it.

Ah, it's a bit frustrating to think like this, and it lives up to Shenhe's expectations.

"After completing the first step, the next step is to try to gather and condense the spiritual power." Shenhe continued to speak to Li Qiuzhi and them in a tone that did not change in mood.

After being able to perceive the spiritual power, this step is not difficult, and after a few attempts, everyone has done it one after another.

[Comprehended Skill: Concentration Lv.1 (1/1000)]

Looking at the prompts that popped up on the character panel, Li Qiuzhi knew that he was a beginner, and he could improve his level as long as he invested in experience points in the future.

In this way, I finally learned a skill to improve my mental strength.

"Thank you, Shenhe, is there anything you need our help with?"

Paimon learns a skill other than his innate, using phantom limbs to perform magical flights, and appears to be very happy, and then takes the initiative to thank Shenhe.

This is rare for Paimon Jr.

Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation, ask for a follow-up, thank you for your support!
