Chapter 20 Meditation and Exercises

"Yu Xiaogang is still poisoned, it seems Tang San's first spirit ring is still from the Datura Snake."

Observing through the spider, Lin Manshan could clearly see that Yu Xiaogang had been helped back by Tang San and was now bedridden. In addition, before Tang San left, he took a book from the bookshelf at the side, and according to Yu Xiaogang, it contained some techniques for cultivating spirit power.

This is exactly what Lin Manshan needed at the moment, so in the next few hours, he paid extra attention to Tang San's movements. He even specially placed a spider in the classroom to avoid any omissions.

Through a few days of observation, he finally finished reading that book with Tang San.

What made Lin Manshan a little surprised was that the method of spirit power cultivation recorded in the book was very similar to the method of internal power cultivation in martial arts novels.

According to the contents written in the book, when spirit power flowed inside a spirit master's body, even if he did nothing during normal times, it would flow slowly in a specific route inside his body out of instinct. The so-called meditation method is to artificially push the spirit power through meditation to achieve the effect of accelerating the operation of the spirit power on that basis, and this is also the cultivation method adopted by the vast majority of spirit masters on the continent as of now.

'No wonder when I first cultivated according to the meditation method given by Su Yuntao, I felt that this method was a bit like cultivating the internal energy in a martial arts novel.' Lin Manshan sat cross-legged on his bed, feeling the spirit energy in his body flowing through his meridians.

'Just like how the blood will flow through the veins all by itself, spirit power will also flow through the meridians all by itself.'

'It's just that the usual circulation speed is too slow and doesn't have the effect of leading the Martial Soul to absorb the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy and convert it into spirit energy. Only when it is artificially driven to accelerate can it have the effect of cultivating spirit power.'

'However, this cultivation method is still too rough and too slow.' Lin Manshan sighed quietly.

'A true meditation method should be to re-plan the running route of spirit power in the body's meridians, thus greatly increasing the speed at which the human body absorbs the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth. At the same time, due to the differences in the developer's individual physique, the planned running routes are also different, and the resulting cultivation effects are also different. Of course, there are also attribute-neutralising universal meditation methods, such as Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill.'

'After all, the Tang Sect has been passed down from generation to generation, and there were so many disciples, both male and female, and there was only one supreme meditation method, so if there were so-called limitations on physique and attributes, how could it be taught?'

'According to the original story, Mysterious Heaven Skill is part of a superior internal energy training method, with neutral attributes, continuous vitality, immense blending and thickness, and it can help one to open up and strengthen the meridians and veins. The internal energy cultivated not only has the effect of accelerating the body's self-healing, as in the original story, it had helped Tang Hao's severed limbs to be regenerated, but also has a strong effect of dispelling poison, as the snake venom was expelled from Yu Xiaogang by Tang San using Mysterious Heaven Skill's internal energy.'

'As for Tang San's claim to Dai Mubai that he needs to abolish his martial soul realm and start training all over again, starting everything from scratch, it should be pure bullshit. Dai Mubai and the others hadn't even changed their spirit power operation routes to cultivate any internal training methods, so where's the need to scrap all the spirit power due to technique conflict coming from? As for attribute conflicts, none of the later protagonists had a problem learning it. Tang Wulin only learnt it after he reached over level ten, and neither did he experience any abolition of his martial soul or cultivation.'

Adjusting his thoughts, Lin Manshan's mind recalled the contents of the book and the human body patterns with remarks.

'These spirit power operation routes marked in the book should be summarised by the Spirit Hall through the experiments of the spirit masters under its command. It has not yet formed a complete system, it only recorded that these meridians can be used for spirit power operation, it did not connect up to create a set of real training methods.'

'As for some of the routes noted on it that some people can operate and some can't, it should be because everyone's meridians are clogged differently.'

'Unfortunately, I haven't learnt anything related to meridians and can't figure out the difference between these meridians.'

'I also don't know whether the so-called strange meridians and eight meridians are recorded, and which ones are they? It's a headache, if I can't understand it, I can't try it out, otherwise, I'll be in big trouble if I practice out of order.' Lin Manshan became somewhat depressed. The Dark Ones have a special physique, with tough meridians that are naturally connected, and they only practise their physical body and not their Qi (energy), so there is no relevant record in the memories of 'Act Against the Sky', and he only knows that the human Practitioners train their energy.

'Good thing, there are a few routes that have been confirmed safe to operate on that note, I can try it out, anyway, it should be a little better than the meditation method I am currently using.' Thinking of this, Lin Manshan skimmed his lips, 'Yu Xiaogang even said that these are his own research results, how damn shameless. Just this human body annotated diagram, could it be that you, Yu Xiaogang, have even dissected corpses?'

'However, it's no wonder that the spirit master community cares so much about the Innate Spirit Power Levels. Without internal technique to accelerate and help open up the meridians, Innate Qualification has undoubtedly become the only standard of assessment.' Lin Manshan sighed deeply.

'And the reason why the Spirit Hall has so many Titled Douluo, far ahead of the other forces, is probably also related to this type of research. After all, accumulation of quantity leads to a greater volume.'

No longer thinking about it, he began to cultivate his spirit power.

There weren't many routes of operation that needed to be attempted, and Lin Manshan quickly realised that the spirit power was running smoothly. The truth was just as he thought, the cultivation speed was about 10% faster.

Without realising it, the time approached late at night.

"Eh?" Lin Manshan suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head to look outside the window. After glancing at the surrounding dormmates who were either cultivating with their eyes closed or had already fallen asleep, he closed his eyes once again.

"Flutter Flutter." A magpie bird landed on the window sill not far away, its eyes glowing green.

Right at this moment, Lin Manshan's mind began to continuously flash with images.

As he looked down, the mountains were surrounded by steep slopes, the towering mountains and lush trees were divided into large and small valleys, and a human-shaped black shadow flew between the rocky slopes and the jungles of the valleys, sometimes hidden by the wide canopy of the trees, and sometimes revealing his figure.

And in front of and around the black shadow, occasional beast figures scurried out from the woods.

After an unknown amount of time, a white waterfall like the Milky Way hanging was visible in the line of sight.

Only to see that a humanoid black shadow rose up from the clear pool below the waterfall, and landed on a reef in the middle section of the waterfall, and then a black giant hammer suddenly appeared in his hand.

With just an upward swing, the falling torrent rolled backwards, and a path suddenly appeared in front of the reef.

Taking a few steps forward, his right hand lightly pressed the stone wall, and one side of the rock sunk in, quickly revealing an entrance.

In the next second, the black shadow flashed straight in.

With a thought, the scene was interrupted, and Lin Manshan also opened his eyes.

'It's not far from the Holy Spirit Village, and looking at the vast forest on the far side of the mountain range, it's probably the Star Dou Great Forest. The terrain of this mountain range is a bit like the Huashan Mountain in my previous life, it's quite high and steep, and there are still spirit beasts living in those valleys and forests. It's not easy to go over there.'

'There's no rush, everything has to wait until I acquire my first spirit ring.' Thinking of this, Lin Manshan closed his eyes once again.

"Flutter Flutter Flutter."

The magpie bird rose into the air and disappeared into the night.
