The function of the new symbols

Li Yao put away his black marker and stood aside. "Let's wait and see."

No one knew what Li Yao was up to.

But since Li Yao said to wait and see, then let's wait.

Everyone waited intently, their eyes fixed on the white blackboard, which was covered with all sorts of complex and intricate strokes. Some of the strokes were connected together, seemingly forming a system, while others were completely separate, with no discernible connection between them.

Even though the crowd couldn't discern anything special about it, they still focused intently on the examination.

Many people are even looking at their memories.

Suddenly, several people in the room changed color.

When they tried to memorize those symbols, they could see them clearly and thought they had memorized them, but when they tried to visualize those symbols in their minds, they found that they could not remember them!

That's not right either; it's not that they can't remember.

Instead, it was the act of trying to remember and sketch something in my mind that triggered something, making it difficult to maintain my memory.

Some who were more skilled in cultivation, after a brief sensing, were surprised to discover...

The reason I couldn't remember it was because that thing started mobilizing the Spirit Energy in my body while it was being sketched!

However, because the meaning of these symbols is unclear...

Therefore, even if the outline is completed, it will quickly dissipate.

As for what role these symbols played after being imbued with Spirit Energy, they had no way of knowing! Dozens of people subconsciously believed Li Yao because of this strange change, and they thought that this was what Li Yao was waiting for—but soon Lu Xingshen became serious! He was already at the seventh level, and his perception and control of spiritual energy had reached an extreme level.

certainly,

This ultimate is relative to the extraordinary side on Earth.

Lu Xingshen wasn't the only extraordinary person present. As time went by, everyone gradually realized what Li Yao was waiting for.

—Spiritual power was converging on those symbols! Everyone was startled! This...

Was there something special about that white blackboard or that black marker? Finally,

Mr. Yang Tong of Tangxi Sword Cottage couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Li Yao, is there anything strange about that marker or that white blackboard in your hand?"

Li Yao placed the marker in his hand on the white blackboard. "Everyone is welcome to check."

That nonchalant attitude was reminiscent of a magician letting the audience inspect his props.

then,

A group of extraordinary individuals, led by Yang Tong, came to the blackboard and began inspecting it and the markers.

Some people didn't move.

They believed that since Li Yao was so confident, he certainly wouldn't tamper with such matters.

Others are simply too lazy.

For example, Old Man Lu...

After checking, Yang Tong and the others returned to their seats with puzzled expressions. The blackboard and the marker were perfectly fine.

Moreover, Li Yao did not use any Spirit Energy when he wrote those symbols!

If those symbols were used, there should have been a power response from the start! And even if Spirit Energy was used, that power should have dispersed quickly into the air like a pile of loose sand! Instead, it should have been converging together at an extremely slow pace, as it is now.

After the room fell silent, Li Yao said, "The symbols on the blackboard are symbols that I have summarized and refined from documents such as the Emerald Tablet, the Book of Hieroglyphic Symbols, and the Shangqing Great Cave Talisman Treasure Record, which can drive spiritual power."

The crowd erupted in uproar!

Can ordinary objects really attract and gather Spirit Energy?!

this...

This is so illogical! Even though we're all making a living on the supernatural or mystical side, everything still has its reasons.

However, what Li Yao is now teaching them completely contradicts the common sense they have formed over a long period of time.

Guo Changshi asked, "Mr. Li, this... I don't quite understand. As we all know, the best way to guide Spirit Energy is to use materials with the same spiritual power to guide and gather it, and then use various means to solidify that power."

Using only ordinary materials...

How could one possibly guide and utilize Spirit Energy? Li Yao then said, "As Mr. Lu Xun said: 'It has always been this way,' does that mean it's correct?

—These words really came from Lu Xun!

As he spoke,

Li Yao then took a piece of corrugated cardboard from behind and lit it with a lighter.

The corrugated cardboard, laid flat, burned very slowly because of its thickness and the small flame. But when he rolled the corrugated cardboard into a cylinder, the originally weak and slow flame suddenly became vigorous and the burning speed increased!

This is because the rising hot air currents drive the air inside the cylinder upwards, bringing oxygen from the bottom into the cylinder so that it can come into fuller contact with the flame, thus producing a more vigorous and complete combustion.

A simple action can create a straight-tube combustion effect that enhances convection.

Everyone watched Li Yao's actions thoughtfully.

When the corrugated cardboard was almost burned out, Li Yao waved his hand and used ice-type energy to extinguish the fire on the corrugated cardboard in his hand.

Throwing away the corrugated cardboard in his hand, Li Yao clapped his hands and said, "So Spirit Energy... actually, I prefer to call spiritual energy the spiritual power of this kind. It is also a kind of energy that can be used and guided. Just like that straight tube of corrugated cardboard that was rolled up earlier, it can be used to form a simple device that enhances convection by simply rolling it up."

Everyone listened thoughtfully, until Zhuge Feng, Yun suddenly asked, "But the corrugated cardboard just now could only create convection by being lit, so how do these ordinary things get 'lit'?"

Li Yao: "A very clever question."

He praised Zhuge Feng, Yun, then said, "This brings us to the question of what form psionic energy takes in our world."

"We are limited by our bodies, and what we know and see is the reality of our cognition."

"Before the concept of air as we know it existed, we didn't even know what we were breathing. We even thought that the seemingly pure and transparent void was empty. The reason we have a respiratory system is to interact with the so-called 'qi' of heaven and earth. This is the earliest theory of cultivation in China."

That's actually correct, because the so-called "air" contains not only various gases, but also all sorts of forces beyond the range of our bodily perception.

for example:

—Psionic energy.

Li Yao: "Modern research shows that over 90% of the massless matter in our universe is dark matter. We collectively call it dark matter, but those who are actually working on it understand. Like matter, the matter we commonly see is composed of atoms, forming all sorts of objects. Dark matter is just as diverse."

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

In the vast world inaccessible to ordinary people, there exists a vast amount of matter and energy far beyond their comprehension.

In the cognitive system of mystics, such matter and energy exist in the "astral realm" and the "spirit realm".

After explaining the concepts of the astral realm and the spirit realm, Li Yao continued, "We usually think that there is a boundary between the astral realm and the spirit realm and reality. That boundary makes the astral realm and the spirit realm completely overlap with reality, yet they are not together. That's why it seems so difficult for us to invoke the power of those two worlds."

After saying that.

Li Yao looked at Lu Xingshen and said to him, "Mr. Lu, could you perhaps show us a little bit of the Astral Realm and the Spirit Realm?"

Lu Xingshen nodded. "Okay."

He stretched out his hand and casually made a gesture in the air...

A scar-like crack suddenly appeared beneath his finger, revealing a darkness filled with various spiritual lights. These lights flashed by, dazzling the eye, while at a deeper level, pure and clear rays of light seemed to linger, containing endless information.

Lu Xingshen said, "This is the spirit realm."

Then he raised his hand and made another stroke, and a scar-like crack appeared beneath his fingers, revealing a deep darkness dotted with countless tiny, sparkling lights like diamonds. These lights seemed to contain all sorts of magical powers, pure and boundless.

Lu Xingshen added, "This is the Star Boundary."

After the two scars slowly faded, Li Yao said, "It seems there are boundaries, right? But in reality, the astral realm and the spirit realm completely overlap with reality, there are no boundaries, only the degree of interaction is different."

After listening, Zhuge Feng, Yun's eyes were initially confused, but then gradually brightened!

"It's like the boundary between water and air!"

Although they appear to be clearly distinct, there is actually a very complex interaction between the two sides.

The water cycle and the atmospheric cycle are interdependent and mutually influential! And temperature plays one of the key roles in them!

Sudden,

Zhuge Feng, Yun, as if having a fit of madness, turned his face to one side the Scream, "So that's how it is!"

Then he turned his face to the other side, becoming much more composed. "That was truly a wake-up call..."

Li Yao: "???"

Hey bro, what's wrong with you?

You scared me a little! Meeting Li Yao's surprised gaze, Zhuge Feng, Yun pointed to himself and said, "Let me introduce myself again. I am Zhuge Fengyun."

so what?

At this moment, Li Yao thought of the rumors about dual personality and split personality...

However, the formation of dissociative identity disorder and dual personality is often accompanied by quite unfortunate life experiences. Then, in the process of growing up, due to psychological defense mechanisms, dissociative qualities gradually develop, leading to the emergence of other personalities... And because of past trauma, such personalities often lack social skills and will have one problem or another!

For example, timid and shy, or the complete opposite—irritable and easily angered! Zhuge Feng, Yun doesn't seem like that kind of person at all!

However, Zhuge Feng, Yun did not intend to explain further.

Li Yao, being rather easygoing, didn't press Zhuge Feng, Yun for an explanation and instead continued, "Just as Zhuge Feng, Yun said, there is no boundary between reality and the astral realm, only a difference in the degree of interaction. This means that our world is filled with a large amount of psionic energy! It exists in every corner of reality, even in every inch of air."

The only difference is the concentration.

For example, coastal areas or tropical rainforest areas often have relatively humid air.

The air in the northern isothermal regions is relatively dry.

Li Yao continued, "So when my brushstrokes swept across the air, they actually activated psionic energy, and the sparks... were ignited from the very beginning."

The hall fell silent...

Not long after,

Zhen Zhiyin from the Zhen Family in the Northwest asked, "Then what is the connection between this and the universality of promoting cultivation methods?"
