The Emperor of the Human Race, a Versatile Mage

Chapter 82: Entering the realm of concentration, the ancient Yellow Crane Tower

-------
Mr. Jiang?
The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Zhao. He didn't know this man at all and had never heard of his name.

The old man's eyes flashed, and he was a little surprised. He stood up from the carved wooden chair and came over, "I heard from the old priest that you seem to be only 17 years old?"

"Yes."

The old man nodded and praised, "It's incredible, what a great talent in the spiritual field."

Although the middle-aged man didn't know Jiang Zhao at first, when he heard his father, who was the president of the Magic Association, say this, he immediately smiled at Jiang Zhao even though he was still angry about his son just now.

"Dad, I still have some things to deal with. You guys can talk."

"Okay, go get busy."

The old man is Zheng Youming, the president of the Yellow Crane Tower Magic Association. In theory, the magicians in the entire Jianghan area are under his control.

He looked at Jiang Zhao and marveled, "He has reached the intermediate level at the age of 17, and he has also practiced the sleep method to the third stage. He is really a hero from a young age."

In front of veteran mages, it is still difficult to hide your cultivation level. Although you cannot sense what system you are in, you can still sense which level you are at.

"It should be said that thanks to the sleep method, I can practice so fast."

"Hahaha, that makes sense." Zheng Youming stroked his beard and laughed.

Jiang Zhao recalled what Song Qiming had told him about some of the powers that Zheng Youming had, including the quota for a spiritual spiritual cultivation treasure. To get in, other ways would be more troublesome, so Song Qiming directly recommended Zheng Youming to him. President of the Magic Association.

"but……"

Jiang Zhao changed the topic and said, "I have reached a bottleneck in this sleep method. If I want to go further, I can only seek follow-up methods. I would like to ask President Zheng for guidance on this."

Zheng Youming paused and said, "There are five realms in the Wudang spiritual practice secret method. The first realm is sleep, and the second realm is called entering concentration. Do you know what entering concentration is?"

"Please also inform President Zheng."

"In the state of sleep, the spirit is like clouds and mist, like flowing water. Even if it affects others, it is just a gust of wind or a wave. But in the state of meditation, the spirit is condensed, like stone, iron, jade, or gold. This same volume I don’t need to say more about which one of the water polo and iron ball hurts, and which one is stronger?”

Zheng Youming briefly explained the difference between the two realms.

"Is the secret to entering a state of concentration lies in concentration?"

Jiang Zhao extracted the keywords.

"Do not."

Zheng Youming shook his head, "The secret to entering the state of concentration should be how to survive."

Jiang Zhao:? ? ?
He slowly explained: "There are thousands of sparks of thought in the human spirit in an instant. To solidify it like a solid stone, wouldn't it mean that the spirit should be silent and fall into eternal sleep? Therefore, directly solidifying caution is tantamount to seeking death."

Jiang Zhao's mind turned quickly and he immediately deduced: "In other words, it is necessary to keep the mind active while concentrating the spirit? This is both necessary and necessary, but it is similar to the movement sleep state of the sleep method."

"This is a method of the same lineage. Entering samadhi means moving to a higher level of sleep. However, the risk factor also increases sharply. If you are not careful, your spirit will be eternal. There is a treasure in the association that can help you practice this. People who follow the Dharma are protected from danger, which is why we insist on people who want to learn subsequent Dharma methods to come to our Magic Association. This is not because we are jealous of ourselves."

After listening to Zheng Youming's explanation, a doubt in Jiang Zhao's mind was solved.

It turns out that the practice of entering the state of concentration is not only harmful to others, but also very dangerous to the cultivator himself. No wonder it has to be popularized.

And the Yellow Crane Tower Magic Association actually has treasures that can avoid the risk of eternal spiritual silence. It is reasonable to come to them to learn.

Seeing Jiang Zhao nodding, Zheng Youming continued: "But even so, the psychic mages who come to our Yellow Crane Tower Magic Association every year are basically not here for the method of entering the state of concentration."

Jiang Zhao was puzzled, "Why?"

"Of course it's for the Yellow Crane Tower."

Zheng Youming paced in the hall and chanted slowly, "Climb high to see the majestic sky and the earth, and the vast river will never return."

Is this a poem by Li Bai?

"The Yellow Crane Tower has existed since ancient times. In ancient times, the Yellow Crane Tower was located next to the Magic Association building. It was a treasured place for cultivation. Many rare magic materials were used in its construction. Many of them can no longer be found. Go east across the Yangtze River and get some of them. The essence of water, washing out the spirit, can make the mental power more condensed. In addition to the water system, the spiritual system is also very suitable for practicing there. One day of training there is comparable to three months of training in the outside world. For people like you who want to practice the method of entering the state of concentration, Going there will get twice the result with half the effort, and it will not take long to achieve the state of concentration." Zheng Youming said unhurriedly, showing Jiang Zhao the way.

When Jiang Zhao heard this, was there such a good thing?

Then you must go and see it!
"Then President Zheng, how can I go to the Ancient Yellow Crane Tower to practice?" he asked quickly.

"The opening time of Ancient Yellow Crane Tower is limited every year. This year's quota is almost full. You either have to wait until next year, or you have to jump in. This requires you to be somewhat confident in your magic skills. If you can get The people who hold the quota are basically outstanding psychic mages from various magic colleges across the country, the best in the intermediate level. If you surpass them in psychic magic, you can jump in the queue."

Zheng Youming once again gave Jiang Zhao directions, but after thinking about it, Jiang Zhao said: "But I have only just entered the intermediate level. It seems that I can't compete with those top students in magic colleges. In this case, it's better not to bother."

Jiang Zhao used the skill to retreat and then took out a gift box.

The gift box is black with a dark red flame pattern on it and several gilded words printed in the middle:
Mountain hidden flame
"President Zheng, this can be regarded as a special product of our magic city. Let me express my feelings."

Song Qiming told Jiang Zhao that President Zheng prefers others to give him gifts.

But the advantage is that if you give him a gift, he will actually do something for you.

Jiang Zhao opened the box and pushed it over.

Inside, lying quietly are three small and exquisite glass bottles, a 2000 million magic bottle, a [-] million reusable bottle, and a [-] million crystal bottle, all priced at every price.

Zheng Youming’s eyes lit up.

"The energy-storage magic equipment of Mountain Hidden Flame? I have often heard about this shop's magic equipment during this period, but there has been no supply to us."

"It's true that some are hard to snap up. Their goods are in short supply."

But Jiang Zhao is the boss, so he doesn’t need to rush to buy.

Picking up the crystal bottle and looking at it carefully, Zheng Youming exclaimed, "It's amazing, it's amazing. I really want to pay a visit to this master of magic tools."

With these three magic tools, Zheng Youming looked at Jiang Zhao much more kindly.

In fact, Jiang Zhao really wanted to complain, you are a super mage and the president of the Magic Association, what about that?

Probably, this is personal preference.

He patted the box and changed the subject, "Xiao Jiang, let me call you that. You came to Jianghan from the Magic City. I can't let you come to Jianghan in vain. So, aren't you only 17 years old? I use the name of a high school student. The quota will send you in.”

"Is there a quota for high school students too?"

"Yes, but it has been stopped for more than ten years and I think it is not cost-effective. But you are extremely talented, so you can naturally use this rule again. I will allocate all three places in the high school section to you. For a total of 21 days, you can Feel free and bold to practice in the Ancient Yellow Crane Tower!"

Song Qiming was right. President Zheng really did things after receiving the money!

"President Zheng, if I practice the water system this time, can I get the training bonus of the ancient Yellow Crane Tower for the water system and the spiritual system separately or together?"

It would be better if both the water and psychic systems could be improved.

"It's separate, but the water system's quota is much tighter than that of the soul system. There are various forces, including schools, aristocratic families, and military mages. It's very difficult to arrange. I suggest you focus on the spiritual system. Water system, when the time comes, There’s a trick to being able to spread it out a little bit.”

Zheng Youming put down the crystal bottle, played with the reusable bottle, and sighed: "Even a first-class magic tool is made so exquisitely. This blacksmith master is really free."

A magic tool used by a high-level mage is so well-made and perfect that it feels like a cannon hitting mosquitoes. What a waste!
"Trick? What trick?" Jiang Zhao asked.

"Of course it's a distraction. It's not like there has never been a mind mage with a water element who came to practice in the ancient Yellow Crane Tower. In a rich water vapor environment, you can practice both the mind element and the water element at the same time. But this is just It is limited to you, a mage who has practiced to the realm of exercise, sleep, or even meditation. Wait for next Monday and I will arrange for someone to teach you how to enter meditation. When you learn it, I will arrange for you to enter the ancient Yellow Crane Tower to practice. However, the three opportunities will be separated. Use it, and you will have time to digest and settle." Zheng Youming said.

The main reason is that he is easy to coordinate.

It's okay to join a team. After all, you are the president, but for you to suddenly drop three places and directly occupy them for 21 days, isn't it a bit too much?

"It's all up to the president to arrange."
