Entering the Concentration Realm is the first step in the cultivation of the Heart Saint Continent, the foundation realm, and the most important foundation laying moment for every Heart Cultivation disciple.

Only by entering the state of concentration can we truly step into the door of mental cultivation.

What is emphasized in meditation is that the mind cultivator can clear all the chaotic sounds and thoughts in his mind through meditation and meditation, so as to enter a mysterious realm and truly "see" his heart.

Only in this realm, when the body and mind are all relaxed, the body is in a self-contained cycle, and the spirit looks at oneself and feels that oneself is one with heaven and earth, can we vaguely perceive the appearance of one's own heart, so as to lead the source and build a foundation, and completely open the door to mental cultivation.

There are three parts of the Xiao family's meditation exercises, which are the most basic 'Entering the Great Dao Song', and the 'Xiangmu Gong' of the lower grade of the virtual level, and the 'Sun and Moon Ming Sutra' of the higher level.

However, Xiangmu Gong and the Sun and Moon Ming Sutra require certain qualifications and cultivation to be issued, Xiao Mo is only a half-known body, so naturally he does not have this opportunity, unless he exchanges the family contribution coin.

But a young disciple who had just entered the fourth layer of the meditation, and he hadn't even cultivated the heart yuan, so it was naturally impossible to have the family contribution coin, and the two high-level meditation exercises would not have a chance to be exchanged.

Therefore, what Xiao Mo can cultivate at present is still only the most basic mental formula of the Xiao family, which is the song of the Great Dao.

This is also the basic cultivation method common to all practitioners in the Heart Saint Continent, without any grade or special effect, and it is purely used by people to step into the first step of the path of spiritual cultivation.

However, this method is enough, as long as Xiao Mo can successfully advance to the fifth layer, he will have a certain amount of self-preservation.

When the time comes, he will be able to take the initiative to go out to find some low-level herbs, or hunt low-star beasts, so as to exchange the materials on their bodies for family contribution coins, and then use the family contribution coins to go to the Hidden Heart Pavilion in exchange for these two high-level entry techniques.

On the contrary, if he can't even enter the fifth layer, it will be useless to have a high-grade entry method, because the effect is the same.

The only difference between the three exercises is the way they practice, and the speed at which they are cultivated.

The song of the Dingding Avenue is very simple, and there are only more than ten formulas in the general outline, the first of which is 'the turtle shrinks the plate, softens the gas, the body and mind are harmonious, all things do not think, the void is insignificant, and the nature is free, the light is clear, and the crystal is all over the body. ’

Xiao Mo has practiced this exercise countless times over the past few years, and although he has gained nothing every time, he is naturally not unfamiliar.

Therefore, he sat cross-legged with his eyes closed again, his palms on his chest, his five hearts facing the sky, and slowly running the Xiao family's basic exercise 'Song of the Great Dao', a layer of slight suction formed around him, and the air and dust in the room seemed to be attracted, and they all converged towards him.

Around Xiao Mo's body, a layer of extremely faint white light was faintly emanating, this was the first realm of cultivation, and only when he entered the realm of concentration.

The white light reflected Xiao Mo's face with a crystal light, and the brilliance was faint.

He imagined a turtle in his mind, curled up in his dantian and exhaled slowly, slowly......

By the end, the breath is getting slower and slower, slower and slower, and it seems like nothing.

Xiao Mo's consciousness was gradually withdrawn, and the worries, depression, disappointment, and frustration when he failed to practice all disappeared one by one, and he became only calm, and his body was like glass.

He felt himself faintly glowing, a crystal-like glow. The light shone on his heart, which faintly took on the shape of a vermilion bird, and what appeared to be an upside-down lotus stamen, exuding vitality.

And above the heart, there is a small pale silver hole, embedded there, but it is only half blocked, and it looks a little narrow and short. It can be faintly seen from it that behind the heart, there is a golden lake, the vast ocean is boundless.

That is the source of all the strength of the mind cultivator, which is called the heart source, also called the firstborn source.

The way for a person to cultivate is to use specific exercises to attract the energy in the primordial source, drain it out through the aperture above the heart, and finally gather it in his own dantian to cultivate into the power of the heart element.

When the power of the heart element reaches a certain level, it can be released to kill the enemy and protect itself at the same time, which is equivalent to the true yuan cultivated by the ancient monks when they practiced qi and entered the Dao, but compared to the true yuan, the power of the heart element is more wonderful and more mysterious.

Because the power of the heart element can cause the symbiotic changes of all things around it, and even sense the reason of all things in heaven and earth, the growth and decline of the rise and fall, and the ordinary true element will never be able to do this.

Similarly, because if you want to attract the power of the nascent source, you must drain it through the mental aperture, so ordinary people who don't have the mental aperture can't cultivate, and they can only be an ordinary person for the rest of their lives.

And the more tricks in the heart, the faster the speed of drainage, and the faster the drainage, the more opportunities there are to choose some extremely special exercises, because those special exercises, people who do not have a certain knack in the heart cannot practice, for example, in ancient legends, there is a Dao-level miracle skill 'Wuji Creation Gong', which requires at least five tricks of the heart to cultivate.

With that kind of exercise, even the two geniuses of the Xiao family's generation, Xiao Shenjian and Xiao Mingyu, had no chance to cultivate at all.

However, Dao-level exercises are not something that people in Yangcheng can covet, like Xiao Shenjian and Xiao Mingyu, and if they go out of Yangcheng, they may not have the opportunity to get Dao-level exercises at all, they can only say that Wuji Creation Gong is not suitable for them.

Because of this, these people who have enough mental knowledge and can obtain special exercises will naturally have a cultivation speed far beyond that of ordinary people, and their future prospects will be brighter and more valued by their families.

And a half-tricked body like Xiao Mo is so rubbish, and he is called a 'waste body', because he doesn't even have a complete mental trick.

It can be said that the appearance of the half-trick heart is even rarer than the one-trick, two-trick, three-trick, and ordinary people's no-trick, because this is a completely special case, and there is no one in ten thousand. If this is also an achievement, Xiao Mo is estimated to be the first person in the past.

It's just that he'd rather not have this kind of achievement, let alone this half-tricked waste.

When Xiao Mo entered the Dingdao Song, he wanted to use this half of the aperture to drain out a wisp of heart source power in the golden lake and transform it into the most basic heart element. But every time, these heart source powers, as soon as they reached his half of the aperture, were blocked by the flesh membrane below, and he couldn't go out.

After a while, Xiao Mo opened his eyes again, and there was a faint look of depression in his eyes again.

That's right, he failed again, and this time, how many times did he fail?

10,000 times, 50,000 times, 100,000 times?

He doesn't remember anymore.

Failure has long been his routine, a common occurrence. If he succeeds, he should feel strange.

......

The next day, early in the morning.

The cold is shining, blowing doors and windows, and the heavens and the earth are killed.

As the night passed, Yangcheng seemed to be one step closer to winter.

The withered autumn leaves were scattered and scattered all over the courtyard, Xiao Mo had no intention of appreciating them, and continued to try to drain the body in his room and condense the heart element. Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps sounded, and immediately, outside Xiao Mo's door, there was a heavy knocking sound.

A somewhat indifferent middle-aged man's voice immediately came: "Xiao Mo, the patriarch is looking for you." ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Mo woke up from his cultivation in an instant, and when he heard the sound outside, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

When practicing, it is not uncommon for others to disturb them, and it is not uncommon for them to lose their previous achievements at the least, or to go mad at the worst, and even some people are not careful, and the practice goes wrong because of this, and they die because of it.

Therefore, there has always been a conventional rule in the Heart Sacred Continent, if someone hangs a wooden sign representing the retreat outside the door, the rest of the people cannot be easily disturbed.

This time, Xiao Mo tried to drain out of his body and condense his heart, although he knew that he might not succeed, and there were not many guests coming to this small courtyard, but just in case, he still hung a sign like this outside the door according to the rules.

The visitor obviously saw the wooden sign, but still knocked on the door without hesitation, even loudly, very rudely, obviously did not take him to heart, and even ignored his safety, which made him feel slightly angry in his heart.

However, knowing that his status is low, even if he is rude, this is not the time to conflict with him.

Fortunately, he has not entered the realm of concentration, and once he is disturbed by external forces, it is easy to wake up, and there will be no sequelae, so he put down his anger slightly, took a deep breath, opened the door, and looked at a middle-aged man in a dark blue robe with sharp eyes standing outside the door, and said lightly: "Deacon Xiao, what is the matter with you?"

This dark blue robed man, on his left shoulder, was embroidered with several irregular silver threads, which was the symbol of the deacon in the clan, which was also the reason why Xiao Mo was unwilling to have a big conflict with him at this time.

Because once a dispute arises, there is no doubt that no matter who is in charge, it is always yourself who suffers.

However, the deacon obviously didn't care about Xiao Mo's feelings at all, and he didn't care if he was cultivating inside when he closed the door just now, and looked at Xiao Mo opening the door and coming out, but said coldly: "The patriarch has something to look for you, so let me go!"

What he said was not an inquiry, but with some commands, obviously not worried about Xiao Mo's refusal at all.

When Xiao Mo heard this, he groaned, slightly surprised.

Xiao Baiqi, the patriarch of the Xiao family, is known as the Sect of Hundred Instruments, and is one of the few peak cultivators in Yangcheng. A character like him, who has always been busy with chores, will never remember that there is such a small person as himself, why would he suddenly order someone to pass on Xun today and take him to meet?

Thinking of this, Xiao Mo's eyes flashed, and he thought that recently, in the entire Yang City, there was only one major event, could it be that he passed on himself this time, and it was related to that incident?

Seven days ago, the four great families of Yangcheng, Xiao Wang Bai Li, teamed up to hold a hunting competition involving three generations of disciples of the entire four clans in Xuanshui Lake outside Yangcheng, as long as they were monks who had entered the Concentration Realm and were under the age of twenty, they could participate.

Xiao Mo happened to be in the fourth level of cultivation at that time, and he was also asked to participate. It's just that his realm is low, although he participated in the end, he almost got nothing, ranking at the bottom of the four clans, and no one paid attention to it at all.

This hunting competition means to select and rank the disciples of the four clans, so that they can carry out subsequent refining and cultivation, and make some preparations for the opening of the four great palaces in Lingzhou three months later.

Heart Saint Continent, since the collapse of the vitality and the end of the Dao Law, the sect has gone into decline, and there are still some of them, most of them are hidden in those caves and blessed places, no longer going out, isolated from the world.

The sects that are still walking in the world are already very rare, and most of them can't have any impact.

On the contrary, it is the school palace that promotes the school of mind, and it has become the place that today's heart cultivators revere and yearn for the most.

Because in the school palace, there are generally great monks in the Qi Matter Realm and even the Health Preservation Realm, and in some high-level academic palaces and even top academic palaces, there are even top monks in the human realm and even the Fude realm, who directly guide the disciples in the palace to cultivate, which is of great help to their promotion.

The most important thing is that in the Academy Palace, there are high-level cultivation classics that are impossible to have in small places like Yangcheng, as well as all kinds of supernatural cultivation secrets, and these are impossible for small forces and small families in other places to have.

Therefore, entering the Advanced Academy Palace is something that many people with spiritual cultivators yearn for.

Small families and small families all over the country are also honored to have disciples enter the state capital school palace, and try their best to cultivate more genius disciples of their own families, and strive to let them all pass the trial of the school palace, so as to become official school palace disciples, glorify the lintel, and finally feed back to the family.

However, there are only four high-level school palaces in Lingzhou, and there is a certain threshold for entering, and they are not even qualified to go to the test until they enter the Great Perfection of the Determination Realm, so families everywhere need to circle the core candidates as soon as possible and cultivate them with all their might, so that they can have the opportunity to compete for the trial ranking of the school palace after three months together with the genius disciples of other counties.

This hunting tournament is like this, it has long been a practice in Yangcheng, and it will be held once a year three months before the opening of the school palace, so there is nothing special at all.

The only special thing is that there was an accident in this four-clan hunting competition. Bai Xinqiu, one of the four great families in Yangcheng, the second son of the Bai family, was attacked and killed during the trial in Xuanshui Lake, and his bones were gone, which caused a great sensation at the beginning.

After all, Bai Xinqiu is the second young master of the Bai family, and he is second only to Xiao Shenjian and Xiao Mingyu, a three-trick genius with extraordinary talents, and it is a certainty to break through the Easy Realm in the future, and there is a very small chance of breaking through the Qi Realm, so he is naturally valued by the Bai family.

He was originally one of the popular candidates to compete for the seat of the Four Great Palaces this time, but unexpectedly, he died unexpectedly in the trial at Xuanshui Lake.

His death naturally made the head of the Bai family very angry, and vowed to find out the murderer and cut thousands of knives to avenge his murder.

It's just, what does this have to do with yourself?

Although he also had a fourfold cultivation and was forced to participate in that hunting competition, he didn't know any details of Bai Xinqiu's killing at all. Could it be that the head of the Xiao family is the customary to ask all the people who have participated in that hunting competition to inquire about the situation?

Although I don't understand it, I don't know why, but the patriarch summons, and I can't shirk it.

So Xiao Mo replied in a low voice to wait a while, and then went into the house to clean up casually, then closed the door, and together with the Xiao deacon, crossed several courtyards, and walked directly towards the inner courtyard lobby where Xiao Baiqi, the head of the Xiao family, lived.

This is the first time Xiao Mo has had the opportunity to step into the inner courtyard of the Xiao family, and he couldn't help but look all the way over, and found that it was indeed carved luxuriously everywhere, the cloth was exquisitely decorated, and there were rockeries and pavilions standing everywhere at any time, the scenery was elegant, and it was not inferior to some of the royal manors he had seen when he was on earth, which was obviously not comparable to his simple small courtyard.

Thinking that this was the place where Xiao Baiqi, the patriarch of the Xiao family, lived, Xiao Mo was also relieved. Then he put down his thoughts, didn't think about it anymore, and followed the Xiao deacon to a luxurious, purple room in the inner courtyard.
