"So Bone Tempering warriors who want to break through the realm need to become stronger in their mind and will, and they must be confident enough to suppress their own animal nature before they can break through. Especially when they reach the middle and late stages of Bone Tempering, they must be even more careful."
"The Clear Mind state is a state entered after the mind and will grow to a certain critical point, and this state can greatly suppress one's own animal nature. At the same time, it also has a strong resistance to some attacks that act on the mind and will."
When he said this, Xie Qingyun's eyes fell on Lin Sheng, showing a bit of emotion.
"In addition to these, the Clear Mind realm is also one of the necessary conditions for entering the Divine Form realm realm."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng had a look of surprise on his face. He really didn't expect that the realm of Clear Mind was so important and even involved Divine Form realm.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel his heart sinking. If this was the case, then this Clear Mind realm was obviously not simple.
"There are dossiers about the Clear Mind realm in the sect's library, but generally only those who have entered Bone Transformation realm are eligible to check it out. If you are interested, Sheng'er, just take my token and borrow it..."
Xie Qingyun said that there was already a green waist badge in his hand, with a blue bird pattern engraved on it, and it fell into the hands of Lin Sheng with a flick of his hand.
"Thank you, Master."
Lin Sheng grasped the waist badge and bowed his hand.
Just as he was about to leave, the voice of Xie Qingyun came from behind again.
"Sheng'er, you spend most of your time in Wanhua City, so be careful and try not to have any friction with the people in Prefectural Office."
"Disciple understands."
Lin Sheng felt something in his heart, responded, and then left.
He didn't stop all the way and went straight to the Seven Forms Sect's cache.
During his time at the Seven Forms Sect, he frequently came to the library to borrow books, but with his authority, he could only view some of the books in the library.
Now that I have the Xie Qingyun waistband, I can basically view all the books in the library.
It's a pity that he can't enter it and check it out at will. According to the rules of the Seven Forms Sect, even if he has the Xie Qingyun badge in his hand, he can only borrow no more than three books.
Otherwise, it seems that the person hiding the treasury is an elderly woman who looks to be in her eighties or nineties.
The old woman has white hair and her clothes are old-fashioned, but if you look closely, they seem to be Spirit Snake Courtyard clothes.
There was no breath coming out of his body, and he seemed to be just an ordinary old man without any cultivation.
However, to be arranged to guard the important place of the Tibetan Treasury, it is natural that this old woman cannot be an ordinary person.
Lin Sheng also knew from the daily chats of some disciples that this old woman was Spirit Snake Courtyard's previous head of the academy. Although Vital Blood has declined in the later stages of her life, her strength is still a master of the sixth level of muscle forging.
It's just that I don't like fighting, so I voluntarily chose the idle job of guarding the warehouse.
Lin Sheng came to the old woman and respectfully handed over the badge in her hand.
The old woman's turbid eyes glanced at the waist badge, and she spoke calmly.
"You can borrow three books from the inner library. Which three do you want?"
"Junior wants to borrow a book about the realm of Clear Mind."
"Clear Mind realm?"
Hearing this, the old woman's old face showed a trace of surprise. He looked at Lin Sheng without saying anything, turned around and walked into the warehouse with his hands behind his back.
When he came out, he already had an extra package in his hand.
"Here is what you want. According to the rules of the sect, it must be returned within seven days and cannot be borrowed to others. Otherwise, the sect will deal with it." After throwing the package to Lin Sheng, the old woman spat out a sentence that was neither salty nor cool.
"Disciple understands." Lin Sheng responded respectfully, turned and left.
Qingniao Institute, a leisurely and elegant courtyard.
As a direct disciple in the courtyard, he naturally has his own residence in Qingniao Institute.
At this moment, three handwritten books were placed on the stone table in the courtyard. Lin Sheng glanced quickly at one of the books. Sometimes his brows were furrowed, showing a look of thought, and sometimes his brows were relaxed, with a smile on his face and a look of astonishment.
It was not until sunset, when the sky was getting dark, that Lin Sheng finally finished reading the three books. In fact, the content of these three books is not much, but the discussion of the Clear Mind realm is indeed unprecedentedly detailed. After reading it, he now has a sufficient understanding of the First Realm realm.
"Clear Mind...Clear Mind, after one's own spiritual will is strong to a certain point, it condenses together and is not disturbed by the outside world. This is what Daoism and Buddhism used to call the Daoist heart. The Buddha's heart is somewhat similar."
"It is said in the book that after the spiritual will reaches a certain intensity, you will be obviously aware of it, and your own qualifications will even be improved. This is somewhat similar to my current situation..."
He was thinking in his mind that due to the effect of Three-eyed Spirit Monkey's wish talent, his own mental attributes had grown to two points, plus an additional increase in mental attributes after entering Three-eyed Spirit Monkey.
When he reached three points of spiritual attributes, he did feel a significant change from before. His thinking ability was greatly improved, and his efficiency in practice was improved.
"So the strength of three points of mental attributes already meets the basic requirements of the Clear Mind realm."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
The biggest difficulty in reaching the Clear Mind state is the strength of the mental will.
There are many Heavenly Treasuress in the world that can enhance Vital Blood and strengthen the body, but there are very few that can enhance the spirit. Especially if you want to eliminate the effect of three points of mental attributes, you don't know how much Heavenly Treasures you need to swallow that affects the spiritual level.
Of course, the increase of spiritual will can also be increased through practice, but all methods of tempering the spirit require a lot of time.
At least the way to hone one's mental will in the Seven Forms Sect is a water grinding kung fu.
Lin Sheng is deeply touched by the difficulty of improving his mental attributes. His own mental attributes can reach two points. He has swallowed up many Star Worm Star Dew Grasss, and has to endure the severe pain that penetrates into the bone marrow when the mental ape talent is turned on, so that he can improve it to this point.
Moreover, the mental ape talent itself should have the effect of tempering the mental will. So many factors are superimposed on each other, which shows how difficult it is to improve the mental attributes.
"Now that my mental attributes are strong enough, the only thing I need to reach the Clear Mind realm is to find a way to condense my own spiritual will..."
As for how to condense one's own spiritual will, there are many ways. Some people use painting as a way to condense their own spirit, while others use playing the piano or playing chess. No matter what method, people need to concentrate and devote themselves to it, so that they can gradually reach the Clear Mind state.
As for the time to reach the Clear Mind state, it is not fixed. According to the records in the three books, some people who are fast can successfully gather their energy and enter Clear Mind in one day of painting, while others who are slow can not succeed for several years.
"It seems that I have to find a hobby to concentrate my energy. I hope that the time for me to concentrate my energy will not be too long..."
Thinking in his mind, he had packed up three books and returned them directly to the library. Then he did not stay in Qingniao Institute, but returned to Wanhua City.
Stroll through the streets of the city.
"Shaobing... freshly baked hot pancakes..."
"Candy man... sweet and crispy candy man..."
The sound of hawking on the long street is endless. At this moment, Wanhua City has returned to its original prosperity. The city is bustling with vendors, pedestrians, and tourists coming and going.
Lin Sheng shuttled through it, making a rare stop. He had been practicing at Secluded Cultivation for a long time, and it had been a long time since he had felt the smoke of fireworks on the street.
I bought a few freshly baked sesame cakes from a street vendor and ate them as I strolled forward. I also bought two golden candy men in front of the candy seller's stall.
Looking at the two little candy figures in his hands, which were crudely shaped and could only barely be distinguished as male and female, Lin Sheng grinned and bit them into pieces in one bite.
To be honest, the taste of the candies is not very good. Compared with the finely made candies in the previous Blue Star, the taste is undoubtedly much worse. Putting it in your mouth is like chewing two pieces of rock candy. The only difference is that there is more rice aroma in it.
The candy seller was a little stunned when he saw Lin Sheng eating it in such a rough way.
Lin Sheng threw out an ingot of broken silver.
"I want them all."
After saying that, before the stall owner could react, Lin Sheng had already grabbed the mallet in the stall owner's hand, with dozens of strings of various candy figures stuck on it.
Holding the candy man in his hand, Lin Sheng took one bite at a time, but after walking a few hundred meters away, the candy man on the gavel was already empty.
Lin Sheng, on the other hand, still had some unfinished thoughts, and finally he smiled dumbly, shook his head, and walked towards Residence.
In my mind, I was still thinking about which method to choose to concentrate my energy.
Painting? It seems that I have never done it before and I don't have much interest in it.
Play chess? The only chess he can play is chess and backgammon, but it's a pity that there are no such two kinds of chess in this world.
Or try an instrument?
The idea came to his mind, but he quickly rejected it.
He didn't know anything about music theory, it could be said that he didn't understand it at all.
While he was thinking in his mind, he suddenly noticed that in a narrow alley on one side of the long street, a middle-aged man in simple clothes and a patchwork body was sitting casually on the ground, holding a sharp knife in his hand and carving on a piece of wood the size of a human head.
In front of him was a dirty rag whose original color could no longer be seen. On the rag were dozens of wood carvings of various sizes.
There are people and beasts, the big ones are as big as human heads, and the small ones are only as big as a baby's fist, but without exception, they are all lifelike, and it is obvious that the craftsmanship of the person who carved them is quite exquisite.
Lin Sheng stopped and turned around and walked over.
The middle-aged man seemed so absorbed that he didn't notice that there was another person under his booth.
He didn't stop until he carved the wood in his hand into a Two-headed Wolf Beast. He looked at the lifelike Two-headed Wolf Beast with genuine joy on his face.
"What did you carve on this?"
There was a sudden voice next to him, which startled the middle-aged man, but he raised his head in panic, and then he saw that the person in front of him was not the gangsters who collected stall fees, but a man in Tsing Yi.
"This is Two-headed Wolf Beast. It is said to be a powerful Strange Beast in ancient times. I just used my imagination to carve it out to make the guests laugh."
The middle-aged man had a somewhat awkward smile on his face. When he saw someone interested in his woodcut, he quickly introduced him.
"Nice carving. How many years have you been doing this?"
Lin Sheng squatted down, picked up the Two-headed Wolf Beast wood carving that had just been baked, and played with it in his hands.
The wood carving was very light in weight, obviously just the most common poplar wood, but the wood carving had a somewhat inexplicable charm, as if it really had a ferocious meaning.
"I have been in love with wood carving since I was eight years old. Until now, even after so many years, I have no skills at all. The only thing I can use is my wood carving skills. If a customer is interested in wood carving, all he needs is two people and a big money."
The free man seemed a little embarrassed and said.
"I want all your wood carvings. This is one hundred taels. In addition, I want the carving knife in your hand."
"Wood carving... one hundred taels..."
The middle-aged man was a little dazed and didn't seem to react. After being stunned for a long time, his dirty pale cheeks immediately became bloodshot, and his face showed excitement.
"This is too... too much... only ten taels, five taels of silver is enough..."
However, before he could finish speaking, a fluffy treasure note that he had never seen before fell into his arms.
He didn't recognize what was written on the banknote. The only thing he recognized was the number one hundred taels in the center.
When he reacted, the woodcarvings placed in front of him were gone, along with the carving knife in his hand.
He held the treasure in his hand stupidly, feeling like everything was in a dream.
He never thought that his woodcarvings would sell for such a price one day. As for the carving knife in his hand, he only asked someone to make it at will, and it was not worth a few dollars at all.
Thinking of his wife and children who were starving at home, he immediately got up and ran down the street.
Without paying attention to the middle-aged man's reaction, Lin Sheng had already returned to Residence carrying the wood carving.
He had already thought about what he wanted to do as a way to gather his energy.
When he saw those wood carvings, he was touched in his heart and decided to make this his main focus.
Making woodcuts undoubtedly requires a high degree of concentration, which is more suitable for him than painting and playing chess.
The middle-aged man just now may have a much stronger spiritual will than ordinary people. Perhaps his qualifications in Martial Way are not low. If he can enter the path of cultivation, he should be considered a genius.
It's a pity that he didn't have this opportunity. Now in his thirties, his bones are set and Vital Blood is declining. Even if he practices practice now, his achievements are limited.
The number of geniuses in this world is much greater than imagined, but it is a pity that only a few are able to embark on the path of spiritual practice. How many geniuses may never get the opportunity, and end up disappearing from the crowd.
With a sigh, Lin Sheng shook his head slightly, picked up the carving knife, smashed the poplar tree in the courtyard into pieces with one palm, picked a piece that was pleasing to the eye, and began to carve it.
He didn't draw it randomly, but followed the two-headed wolf woodcut beside him.
Lin Sheng moves very slowly, but gradually speeds up as time passes, and soon you are immersed in it.
