Ning Que walked a little closer and listened intently.
"You're good at calligraphy, so you can use Yong's eight-stroke calligraphy to deconstruct these words into strokes. For example, you can try to inadvertently memorize the order and number of strokes, and then use calligraphy to reconstruct it in your mind after leaving the old library. Therefore, the word is still that word, but it no longer has the structural psychology given by the masters of the sacred amulets who plagiarized these books back then.
Ning fell into deep thought.
Chen Pipi warned: "I just proposed a possibility. Whether you succeed or not, you'll need to do a lot of experimentation. The end result may or may not work.
"It's better to try than to do nothing." Ning Que suddenly remembered the attempt he had made last night in accordance with Chen Pipi's guidance. Then he stood up excitedly and took out the flint he had prepared and lit the candle. After placing the candle on the table in the west window, he returned to his original position and said, "Please see if my cultivation is successful."
As his words fell, the middle and index fingers of his right hand formed a sword, and with a wave of his arm, he stabbed the candlelight in the distance. The spiritual power emanating from his body controlled the qi of heaven and earth, and finally disappeared with his fingertips.
There is no thunder, no great movement of heaven and earth. The dim candle on the table shook slightly, and it quickly regained its composure. It was as if a few wisps of summer breeze were blowing in through the cracks in the west window.
Chen Pipi frowned, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head, "Weak."
He spent a night of hard work developing his ability to interact with objects in the academy, and finally learned this ability, but only got the word [weak] from his peers. Although he knew that this guy was a cultivation genius, and his current state was as dim and disdainful as a candle on the table in the eyes of the genius, Ning Que was still a little unhappy. He picked up the silver ingot, slammed it on the floor in front of them, and said with great annoyance, "Please take a look at this before commenting."
After a moment, Chen Pipi stared at the silver ingot, which was slowly turning and moving on the ground. Then he said incredulously, "Your reaction is not bad...... Aren't you the greedy type? Do you like two pieces of silver so much?
Ning Que suppressed the pride in his heart and rubbed the place between his eyes that began to hurt due to the excessive output of spiritual power. He whispered nonchalantly, "I'm not greedy, and the silver ingots know that I care about them all along."
That is, these silver hairpins know that you are too mean to spend them, so they will give a happy response to your perception? You are not only weak, but very weak.
Chen Pipi looked at him mockingly and said, "It's acceptable to cultivate the silver ingot into your natal item as you like, although I've never seen any cultivator do this before. I must warn you that you have exhausted all your strength, but the silver ingot still struggles like a dying white maggot. What's the use of that?
...
...
Chen Pipi returned to the back mountain after wasting half the night in vain. He stepped onto the stone path shrouded in mist, and couldn't help but sigh at the thought of the precious cultivation time he had wasted on that guy.
The fog suddenly dissipated, and in front of the stone road, a tall figure suddenly appeared. In the dark, you can clearly see that the guy's black hair is neatly combed, the metal ribbon around his waist is just in place, and the ancient crown hat on his head is motionless, like an eaves.
"Why do you want to go to the old library at night? Which book you can't remember and must read at night? Don't tell me you're just here to check the ancient classics such as Zhou Li.
Looking at his most respected second brother, Chen Pipi bowed deeply, but with a bitter look on his face, he reported truthfully: "Second brother, I went to the old library and met a friend at the front desk of the college, and we chatted.
"Hmm," the second brother continued to appreciate, "gentlemen are the most sincere, whether rich or poor. Classmates on the front line are still friends. You deserve a reward because you can overcome your greed and laziness to become a companion, but you should remember the rules of the academy. You can't talk about certain things.
"Impossible!" Chen Pipi raised his neck and shouted, "Don't you know how timid I am? I don't dare to reveal any information. We're just talking about math.
Hearing the word "mathematics", the serious second brother suddenly remembered the problem that Chen Pipi brought back from the back mountain one day. He thought of the painful days and nights he had spent in his room, while he was preoccupied with calculations, avoiding his classmates and sisters. His brow trembled rarely, and he said in a hoarse voice, "It turned out to be that guy."
The second brother became gloomy and turned to walk up and down on the stone floor, because he didn't want to remember that painful time, nor did he want to think of the whole room of paper without an answer.
Chen Pipi thought of something, and then quickened his pace to catch up. "Second brother, I want to ask you a question." He followed him breathlessly.
"What's wrong?"
"There's a guy who doesn't have much cultivation potential. Only 17 of his 10 acupuncture points were open, and he could barely perceive the breath of nature, entering the initial state of consciousness that he had been in fourteen days earlier. However, he has a strange ability to deal with the outside world, and even takes the first step into a state of doubt. Yes... He's a genius?
The second brother suddenly stopped, turned around and glanced at Chen Pipi coldly. He could guess who they were talking about. It's the lad at the front. He frowned and thought for a moment before replying in a very affirmative tone, "Of course not.
"Why not?"
"He entered the initial state of consciousness, the state of perception, and then the state of doubt within fourteen days...... There is no genius like him in the world. This genius may just be a monster, because it took me 15 days to go through the process anyway as a genius.
When the second brother said these words, there was no expression of joy or arrogance, but the implicit meaning in the words was incomparable pride and self-confidence. It took him fifteen days to break through three states, and no one in the world could accomplish the same thing in less than fifteen days.
Chen Pipi noticed the second brother's jet-black hairstyle, and he couldn't put it down anymore. He thought that after he took the Tianli Pill, it would take him seventeen days to break through the three states. The second brother became enlightened in a rural area like Linquan County, and it only took fifteen days without a wise teacher and Taoist sect. He was indeed more energetic than Chen Pipi, who was an amazing cultivation genius. Then Chen Pipi admired and asked curiously, "What about the eldest brother?"
"Big brother... It's a monster too. Maybe the second reminds me of the past. He stretched out his hand to adjust his slightly crooked hat, and said solemnly: "The eldest brother became enlightened at the age of thirteen, and then he was at a loss in the academy for seventeen years before he understood the meaning of the state of no doubt.
"He didn't enter the Doubtless State until he was thirty?" Chen Pipi asked in disbelief. "Big brother too..."
The second brother looked at him and said sarcastically: "Too sluggish? The eldest brother reached the realm of doubt at the age of thirty, but then it took him only three months to achieve perspective. Of course, I'm already the superior of perspective.
He was silent for a long time, then looked up at the night mist in the mountains and let out a long sigh. "On that day, when the eldest brother realized in the early morning and observed the clouds in the evening, he reached the realm of knowing the destiny of heaven. He went into two of his most wonderful states overnight. The professor praised him, and even he couldn't do it himself.
The sound disappeared in the night fog in the mountains. The second brother and Chen Pipi, who claim to be geniuses, are indeed the geniuses of the academy. They fell into a long silence, recalling the scene, and then the scholar smiled in the twilight.
The path of cultivation is long and endless. The higher you climb, the more difficult it will be. So many cultivators who were regarded as geniuses when they were young could reach the realm of initial knowledge at the age of five or six, and then the realm of perception, and at the age of sixteen or seventeen, they could reach the realm of doubt or even the realm of perspective. However, for those cultivators, entering the Thorough Passage is like falling into a quagmire, and it is difficult to make progress for decades.
The eldest brother, who entered the Undoubted Realm at the age of thirty, was not gifted in terms of cultivation potential, and even seemed sluggish. However, he can achieve perspective in three months, and the most terrifying thing is that he can enter perspective and understand destiny in one day. His experience and wealth are truly incredible. Perhaps in the entire cultivation world, there was no one else like him.
After being silent for a long time, the second brother spoke, looking at Chen Pipi, "Big brother is considerate and kind." He was a true gentleman. With the power he had accumulated, he rose unexpectedly and gained enlightenment in one day. In terms of his immense accumulation, you and I are far from being comparable to him.
Chen Pipi nodded repeatedly. He respects the strict and dignified second brother. However, both of them were very proud and had the same temperament, so he knew some of the story of this brother. Tonight, for the first time, he knew that the eldest brother, who had always been gentle and generous to his companions and polite to the professor, dressed in old robes and holding old books and water spoons, looked more like a disciple of the academy, but was actually a genius. Then he couldn't help but nervously reflect and self-reflect. In the two years before the eldest brother traveled around with the professor, did he shamelessly show off in front of the eldest brother?
