Runic Cultivation, Xiao Li's Changes
[Black Night Spirit Fox: A mountain Spirit Beast, juvenile, female.]
[Extremely fast, with sharp claws capable of crushing stone and splitting gold.]
Legend has it that the Black Night Spirit Fox loves to eat fish, but is born with an aversion to water, and can only look at fish with longing.
This small beast is currently undergoing a strange transformation; it may change drastically after it awakens.
After using his Supernatural Ability to check on Xiao Li's current condition and finding that there was nothing wrong, Lu Qing felt relieved.
He sat to the side, waiting for Xiao Li to wake up, while activating his Supernatural Ability and silently continuing to learn the legacy left by the Talisman Gate.
The first step in the cultivation of Runic Path is called Mind Stabilization and Heart Cleansing.
Through specific breathing and meditation techniques, one can refine their mind to a relaxed and serene state.
In this state, it becomes easier to observe the textures and essence of all things in the world, triggering inspiration and finding that touch of the soul, thus comprehending the mysteries of the textures of all things.
This single step is not easy for many people to do.
Most people in the world are restless and their minds are hard to be pure.
The saying "the mind is like a monkey and the will is like a horse" refers to the fact that a person's thoughts are the hardest to control. If one is not careful, distracting thoughts will arise, and one will become restless and agitated.
People who are born with pure hearts and can easily control their own minds are few and far between.
Therefore, the very first step of this Runic Path Mind Stabilization and Heart Cleansing —is enough to stump countless people.
Of course, for Lu Qing, Mind Stabilization and Heart Cleansing was not difficult.
After the battle at Happy Life Stronghold, he had already tempered his mind and strengthened his resolve to pursue martial arts.
Moreover, he also possesses Supernatural Ability.
When he activates his Supernatural Ability learning state, he will be in a state similar to Sudden Enlightenment. Achieving a state of mental clarity is not easy.
Therefore, he was able to easily achieve the first step in rune cultivation: Mind Stabilization and Heart Cleansing.
After successfully Mind Stabilization and Heart Cleansing, the second step is to choose something and observe it.
Observe its growth patterns, the formation of patterns, and then compare them with the runes recorded in the heritage to find commonalities and comprehend the runes.
The tradition suggests that beginners in the Rune Dao should choose simple objects to observe, such as ordinary grass, stone, and wood.
This makes it easier to understand and verify the runes, and gain insights.
Lu Qing looked around. Inside the cave, the ground and walls had been jadeified, and there wasn't a single piece of debris, let alone Shitou or soil.
Xiao Li didn't know when he woke up, and he couldn't very well run outside the cave now.
So after thinking for a moment, he took out a Broken Silver from the money pouch on his waist.
Anyway, silver is an ordinary item, not much different from grass and stones, so it shouldn't be difficult to observe.
Holding the Broken Silver in his hand, Lu Qing examined it carefully.
This Broken Silver was taken from the box of silver that Ma Gu sent. It was genuine Snowflake Silver, with a very high purity, and the snowflake pattern on it was quite beautiful.
Lu Qing had never examined a piece of silver so closely before.
In a state of Mind Stabilization and Heart Cleansing in the Talisman Gate, and indeed felt a difference from usual.
The silver coin seemed magnified in his eyes, and he noticed some unusual patterns.
These patterns seem vaguely familiar.
He thought about it and realized that some of the runes recorded in the Talisman Gate's heritage seemed to have a slight similarity to them.
"So that's how it is. This is the verification rune."
Lu Qing remained calm, yet a sense of realization arose in his mind.
Among the legacies left by the Talisman Gate is a general outline.
It contains three hundred runes, divided into five elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, fire, and earth, with sixty runes in each element.
The patterns on this piece of silver all bear a resemblance to those in the Metal Element Runes.
If Lu Qing can understand these similarities, he will be able to communicate with the patterns on the silver using the Metal Element Runes.
At that time, even a Broken Silver, in his hands, could become a terrifying weapon, unleashing terrifying power.
Of course, to reach that level, one would need a very high level of attainment, perhaps even reaching the level of Mysterious Existence who could open up Jade Cave Chamber.
Don't count on Lu Qing now.
However, this insight also made Lu Qing finally understand the essence of cultivating the Runic Path.
So this is what it means to observe the patterns of all things in the world and to communicate with them.
With such gains, Lu Qing became even more interested in rune cultivation.
He held the Broken Silver in his hand and continued to observe.
He continuously compared the strange patterns on the surface with the runes on the general outline in his mind, trying to find the connection between them.
Time passed slowly, and Lu Qing immersed himself in the unique cultivation of Runic Path.
Inside the cave, there was a special light that seemed to shine forever, making it impossible to perceive any changes in the outside world.
He didn't know how much time had passed when a slight noise nearby startled Lu Qing from his meditation.
"Xiao Li, you're awake?"
Lu Qing stopped cultivating and looked at Xiao Li, who was comfortably stretching.
Upon seeing this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Li's appearance seemed unchanged; she remained the same size.
However, the flame-like black fur on its body became even more intense.
Its aura has also become much more ethereal, giving people a completely different feeling.
Lu Qing immediately focused his attention on the Black Little Beast.
A rich red light, tinged with gold, emerged from Xiao Li's body.
[Black Night Spirit Fox: A mountain Spirit Beast, juvenile, female.]
[Extremely fast, with sharp claws capable of crushing stone and splitting gold, cutting through anything.]
[Possesses Innate Skill: its fur can distort light, allowing it to blend into the darkness.]
Legend has it that the Black Night Spirit Fox loves to eat fish, but is born with an aversion to water, and can only look at fish with longing.
Golden?! Lu Qing was somewhat surprised to see the Supernatural Ability light appearing on Xiao Li.
You should know that in the past, although Xiao Li was Spirit Beast, because she was a juvenile, the light of her Supernatural Ability was only a faint red light.
He was slightly inferior to the Wei Family Grand Steward.
Unexpectedly, after consuming a few drops of Earth Vein Spirit Liquid, he broke through his limit and actually reached the golden level.
The note also indicates that it has an additional Innate Skill.
This Earth Vein Spirit Liquid truly lives up to its reputation as a rare treasure capable of improving one's aptitude.
Lu Qing sighed sincerely, and at the same time couldn't help but look forward to what kind of changes would occur after he consumed the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid.
"Xiao Li, how are you feeling now? Have you noticed any changes in your body?" Lu Qing asked expectantly.
He wanted to see what Xiao Li's newly acquired Innate Skill was like.
"Huh?"
Xiao Li tilted her head in confusion at first, then thought for a moment, seemingly sensing something.
The next moment, a strange scene appeared before Lu Qing.
The light around Xiao Li suddenly distorted.
Then, Xiao Li suddenly disappeared from his sight.
