in the next few days.

Gilan stayed at home, practicing meditation in his room during the day, and quietly went to the utility room late at night to watch movies alone.

To do this, he spent a whole piece of Mercury Battery.

There is only one other piece left on hand.

100 Gold Caesar was gone like this, and he still felt a little sad.

But relatively, the gains are not small.

Gilan kept hunting down the crazy villagers, Tribute Wolf and Heavenly Bane Cult Cultist members, and eliminated some Corruption enemies who could no longer gain points, and got a total of almost 50 Mystic Energy points.

In the past few days, the Assembly members also participated in the <Moon-Scorched Village> movie under the organization of Mr. Stork. Gilan still did not participate, but only attended the scene.

Every time, he picked the right moment and came in the middle, and got the available Mystery Points.

It wasn't much, but it satisfied him.

At this point, the color number in Gilan's eyes has reached "65".

The members of Record Society learned the lesson from the last time during the second viewing of <Moon-Scorched Village>. After meeting Cultist on the seaside track, they still chose to get into the dense forest on the left, but this time Mr. Stork took action and stopped the veteran Kulin from shooting.

Everyone only relied on cold weapons and close combat to repel the Tribute Wolf group.

Therefore, it did not attract the attention of the Heavenly Bane Cult army. After avoiding it, it successfully bypassed it.

Although they encountered several more waves of Cultist attacks, each time there were only a few enemies and they were easily killed by them.

Mr. Stork personally cut off the heads of these Cultist, and under the horrified eyes of others, he put them in sacks and carried them in his hands.

Finally, the group of people followed the train track and successfully entered the old city called "Old Peel". After taking a detour from the abandoned train station, they happened to see a dilapidated tent camped in the middle of the road, and also met the mysterious old Beggar.

Based on the information provided by Gilan, Mr. Stork reached a deal with it and successfully exchanged the human head in the sack for a roll of parchment.

On it, there is actually a piece of mysterious knowledge called <Wooden Cangue Meditation Method> recorded!

Mr. Stork was very excited about this, and other the Assembly members were also very surprised.

At that time, Gilan, who was monitoring the movie screen in the utility room, stood up and his eyes widened.

The transaction that old Beggar said turned out to be true!

Miss Seagull had pen and paper in his bag, and Mr. Stork hurriedly copied down the meditation method on the parchment before the movie ended.

After watching the movie, he was not stingy and generously shared this meditation method with Gilan, who was responsible for guarding the scene.

After that, everyone held a temporary seminar specifically on the meditation method, everyone expressed their opinions, and then they started to try it.

That night, Gilan took <Wooden Cangue Meditation Method> and compared it with his own <Iron Thorn Meditation Method>.

But this meditation method is not as good as what I have in hand, and it is not suitable for him.

Because he found that it takes longer to get started with this meditation method, which takes three months to half a year, and the efficiency of exercising Gnosis is far less than the latter... Its only advantage is that it does not feel any pain, but it tests patience and endurance.

Generally speaking, it pays more attention to gradual, slow and peaceful.

To practice <Wooden Cangue Meditation Method>, you need to visualize a mysterious hand-drawn drawing of a pillory with extremely "suppressed" emotions.

At the same time, the body must remain motionless in a specific torture position, and the entire process lasts for at least six hours.

The longer the time, the better the effect.

As for the visualization, it is said that it is a pair of shackles made of two wooden boards. It was common in the Middle Ages and was used to imprison the head and hands of prisoners.

However, this accompanying visualization picture cannot be used as a movie. Mr. Stork and others plan to bring a portable camera to take pictures next time.

Gilan does not intend to participate in these.

But he still invested 20 Caesar as an equal share of Mercury Battery's team expenses.

Mr. Stork and others were a little surprised, and Miss Sparrow even praised Mr. Snowy Owl's "team spirit".

Gilan is noncommittal.

Only he knew it in his heart. It seemed that he was only taking care of the scene in the utility room, but in fact he got a lot of bargains... even <Wooden Cangue Meditation Method> was for nothing.

Pay 20 Caesar, earn face, and win lizi.

Why not.

Dawn Era 1926, July 9.

It started to rain early this morning.

It was pattering outside the apartment, and the mist from the rain obscured the view.

Gilan got up early to wash up, went downstairs to eat the breakfast prepared by Old Jerry, and then went upstairs to the room.

Except for Miss Sparrow who went home, the other members of Record Society stayed in their rooms and practiced meditation happily.

Didn't even come out to eat breakfast.

Especially Mr. Stork, he didn't participate in last night's dinner, which shows how enthusiastic he is about meditation.

Gilan just smiled at this and immediately started doing his own thing.

'About <Iron Thorn Meditation Method>, the "six thorns" are already the limit that I can bear. If it goes any higher, I'm afraid I will faint from the pain on the spot, and the gain outweighs the loss.'

He was sitting on a chair by the window, holding his chin in one hand and looking at the rain outside the window.

'And its current efficiency in tempering Gnosis is six times that of the original. Even people who have practiced it for more than ten years may not be as skilled as me.'

'What we have to do now is to meditate step by step every day until Gnosis reaches the standard... Then the Mystery Points accumulated during this period can be used to improve the body-building technique.'

Gilan made up his mind and began to recall the contents of the exercise technique in his mind.

His eyes sparkled with color as he responded.

"Very good." After he got a positive omen, he took out the Espi's Secret Notes in the dimensional space, sat at the table, and started reading quietly.

Not long after, Gilan carefully and carefully read the contents of the third stage of "blood", then took off his shirt and tie, stood shirtless in the middle of the room, and made some strange postures.

At the same time, it controls the breathing rate, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes long and sometimes short.

Time passes quietly.

The morning passed quickly like this.

Near noon, Gilan once again lay on the ground exhausted, sweating profusely.

Even with his current physique, it was difficult for him to withstand the intensity of the third stage of the physical exercise. Without the assistance of the secret medicine, the severe pain all over his body appeared again.

Only this time, it's different.

Gilan's skin began to turn red, and he looked like cooked shrimp.

His face was even deep red and purple, with veins clearly visible and his eyes were red.

'Iridescence!'

Gilan knew that the body was undergoing mysterious changes, so he decisively used points.

The winning number "65" suddenly plummeted to "15".

This time it took a full 50 points of mysterious power to push him to the next stage.

Gurgling...

Gilan, who was lying on the ground, heard the sound of liquid flowing.

He knew that it was the blood in his body, just like a raging river.

Boom!

Boom!

The heart beats powerfully like a drum.

Gilan felt that his pulse was trembling violently, the temples on both sides of his forehead were beating like bellows, and his vision also trembled rhythmically.

Soon, the body no longer sweated, but began to ooze blood!

Small red dots first appeared on the skin, and then grew larger and spread.

In the end, the whole person seemed to be soaked in blood.

Scarlet, scary.

He suppressed his nervousness and uneasiness and quietly waited for the changes in his body.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that the strong heartbeat gradually subsided.

Gilan feels like a completely new person.

Tuk!!

The shoulder blades of his back were touching the floor, and his eight bulging abdominal muscles were tense. He could stand upright easily with only the strength of his waist.

Gilan ignored the blood all over his body and walked to the full-length mirror.

He saw himself in the mirror, his wet blond hair was messy and scattered, and his muscles were extremely eye-catching. They were not as explosive and exaggerated as a bodybuilder, but rather like the muscles of Bruce Lee in his previous life.

Strong and restrained.

The body shape is in the shape of a slender inverted triangle, with graceful lines and obvious outlines.

The hidden explosive power is quite astonishing and deadly.

The whole person looks like a standing humanoid puma.

"We have entered the third stage of <White Cross Body-Forging Technique>, the 'blood', and the body's recovery and healing power have undergone qualitative changes..."

Gilan stands in front of the mirror Whisperer.

He lowered his head, clamped his left arm with his right hand, and scratched the inside of his left arm with his thumb - suddenly, the nail cut through the skin, leaving a bloody mark like a razor blade.

But just after the blood flowed out for more than ten seconds, the wound formed a scab.

"The self-healing ability is really amazing..." Gilan was surprised and happy. "Such a small wound may be healed the next day!"

"And after the third enhancement of my physique, my punching power is estimated to have reached the average level of the original 'Healing Knights' members, which is 2,000 pounds!"

Gilan raised his hand and threw out a cold punch.

An afterimage flashed out of the arm.

Phew!!

The powerful fist wind screamed and the momentum was astonishing.

"Compared to the 'masters' in the empire, how do I compare to myself at this stage?"

Gilan's eyes are bright and restrained, like a man-eating beast.
