Chapter 240 Concentration Art (Two in One)

"Cousin? Is that Bai Xiao your cousin? You didn't come to Qunyu Pavilion as a guard because of your connections, did you?"

Paimon folded his arms and looked at Zhenhai suspiciously.

"What, cousin, don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense, you must have misheard just now!"

Done.

Zhenhai didn't give Paimeng a chance to refute, so he quickly opened the door and went in to find Bai Xiao.

"What, acting so flustered, isn't it that 'there are no Mora two or three here'!"

Paimon complained speechlessly.

"Uh, it's really a strange metaphor."

Li Qiuzhi did not expect Liyue to have an allusion similar to "300 taels of silver here". Could it be that this is the similarity of the development of human society in different worlds?
"Hey, everyone uses this as a metaphor for someone who wants to hide something but shows his feet."

Paimon put his hands behind his back and said with a smile.

Not long after, Zhenhai came out with Bai Xiao, one of the condensed secretaries. She looked at several people and waved hello, then said:

"If you are looking for Ms. Shen He, she went out for morning exercises in the early morning when the sky was half-bright. She said that if you want to find her, you can go to the top of Tianheng Mountain."

Bai Xiao conveyed what he learned.

"Tianheng Mountain? Well, I see."

Li Qiuzhi nodded, he didn't expect Shen He to leave the house so early, he deserves to be a disciple of the Immortal Family, he is really self-disciplined.

"Then let's go to Tianheng Mountain now." Paimon said with a smile.

"Ah."

Ying flicked the golden hair on the side of her face, and said lightly with her chin.

Tianheng Mountain is not too far from Qunyu Pavilion, and even creating a wind field on Qunyu Pavilion can rise to a higher place and fly directly to Tianheng Mountain.

This can save a lot of time climbing up and down the road.

That's what they think and do.

"Wow, I saw Liyue Port, a lot of dense houses and buildings!"

Paimon grabbed the white ribbon on Ying's dress to avoid being blown away by the high air currents.

At this time, she looked at Liyue Port over there through the towering peaks of Tianheng Mountain with some excitement.

"Okay, I've seen it many times, let's fly to Tianheng Mountain quickly."

Li Qiuzhi drove the wind element to blow the three of them forward.

I have to say that the wind elemental force is really easy to use, although it is not an elemental force known for its power.

However, it is especially useful in assisting exploration, especially on the road with Wing of Wind.

According to his current control over the wind element, he can probably make the wind field rise by about 30 meters by himself.

Working together with Ying can probably fly 100 meters in place, which is why he is sure to fly over Tianheng Mountain smoothly.

After all, it is supported by the wind element, and it will not slowly descend. The disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of physical strength.

Of course, Li Qiuzhi can last a little longer compared to ordinary people with the specialty of "abundance of life".

If you want to consume less and fly higher and faster, you can only improve the "wind element control" skill.

It's a pity that "Concealment of Form" was only upgraded to the full level yesterday, which consumed a lot of experience points, and there is no way to vote for "Wind Element Control" for the time being.

anyway.

Ying is able to control the seven elements, but they have been in Liyue for so long, but they haven't met the statue of the Seven Heavens yet.

Therefore, she did not resonate and awaken the power of the rock element.

It seems that the next time I go to the Adventurer's Association to accept a commission, I have to ask Catherine where there is a statue of the Seven Heavens in the wild.

The earlier Ying awakened the rock element, the faster she would be able to familiarize herself with and control it.

While Li Qiuzhi was thinking, they soon approached Tianheng Mountain.

Dense vegetation covers most of the mountains, while in some places barren rocky mountains are exposed, and some marcasite and iron ore are exposed there.

These ores are difficult to mine and are not worth much money. Even adventurers rarely climb up the mountain to mine them.

Of course, if it's a crystal mine, that's another matter.

Li Qiuzhi and the others landed on this rocky mountain. Tianheng Mountain was higher than expected, and they had no way to fly directly to the top of the mountain.

So I can only put away the Wings of Wind and continue to walk up the trail.

Fortunately, this place is already on the mountainside. After walking for more than ten minutes, Li Qiuzhi and the others reached the top of the mountain. There were no tall plants here, but short grasses.

A girl with long white hair tied into braids in the middle is sitting cross-legged on a flat stone, meditating with her eyes closed.

If you look closely, the stone is too smooth and flat, presumably it was cut by a weapon.

"It's Shen He, let's go say hello."

Saying that, the little Paimon with the crown on his head was about to fly forward to say good morning, but at this moment Li Qiuzhi quickly pulled her back and said:

"Wait a minute, Shen He is obviously meditating, so let's not disturb him for now."

"Well, that seems to be the case."

Paimeng put his index finger against his lower lip, observed for a while and found that Shen He was extremely quiet, as if he was in harmony with the natural environment.

It seems that he is indeed practicing.

Ying stood on a piece of dirt without grass.

The golden hair and the hem of the skirt were slightly lifted by the breeze blowing in front, the calf line wrapped in over-the-knee boots was well-proportioned and soft, and the snow-white thighs exposed on the top of the boots were also very dazzling.

She also closed her eyes, as if she was feeling something.

After a few seconds, Li Qiuzhi saw the breeze blowing towards him, and suddenly stopped, and there was a faint fluctuation of the wind element force from Ying's body.

She opened her eyes, revealing a pair of excited amber pupils.

"What's wrong? Could it be that you suddenly have some insight?" Li Qiuzhi asked curiously.

"Well, I felt the rhythm of the wind on the top of the mountain just now, and now I should be more skilled in using the power of the wind element."

Ying taps her chin lightly.

"You are here."

Shen He, who was wearing a short jacket over a black one-piece leather jacket, also felt a little bit abnormal in the environment, so he finished his meditation and stood up from the flat stone, looking at Li Qiuzhi and the others and said.

"Hey, good morning Shen He, we didn't disturb your practice, did we?"

Paimon waved his hand and flew forward.Li Qiuzhi and Ying followed slowly, and stopped a little in front of Shen He.

"My meditation time is enough, it's not a problem." Shen He shook his head slightly, indicating that the problem was not serious and continued, "You are here to learn how to exercise your mental strength."

"Yes." Li Qiuzhi nodded with a smile.

Although Li Qiuzhi mainly wanted to learn this, since Ying and Paimeng both came, they naturally also learned it along the way.

"Then let's start now, you find a place to sit cross-legged."

Shen He folded his hands under his chest, his flat and smooth belly was faintly revealed through the black silk fabric of the one-piece bodysuit.

"Sit cross-legged? Do you also want to meditate like you?"

Paimon stroked his hair and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, the method of exercising your mental strength that I taught you is called 'Concentration Art', even river fish without talent can practice it, so it shouldn't be difficult for you."

Shen He sat down on the flat stone again, while Li Qiuzhi, Ying and little Paimeng sat on the ground.

Ying deliberately folded the hem of the skirt twice and placed it on the buttocks wrapped in white lantern shorts before sitting cross-legged, otherwise the grass blades would pierce the buttocks and thighs and it would be a bit itchy.

After getting ready, several people looked at Shen He expectantly and listened to her follow-up explanation.

"The main principle of the 'Concentration Technique' is to gather and condense the mental power. During this process, the mental power will increase due to repeated exercise and become more 'solid'."

Shen He is not good at teaching others, but she also learned this technique under the explanation of her master when she first practiced.

So now she just repeats what Master explained at that time in similar words.

Li Qiuzhi, Ying and the others nodded, "Concentration Art", it's easy to understand from the name.

"Then let's start with the first step."

Seeing that everyone understood clearly, Shen He continued to talk:

"The first step, according to what the master said, is to shield the distracting thoughts in the heart, and enter a state of peace of mind and body without emotional fluctuations. Only in this way can it be easy to perceive one's spiritual power."

This step should not be difficult. When Master taught her, she did it in only 2 minutes.

"Well, let's try."

Sitting cross-legged, Li Qiuzhi nodded his head lightly, and closed his eyes at the same time as Ying and Paimeng, trying to block out the distracting thoughts in his heart.

When I didn't start doing it, I thought it would be very simple.

But in fact, the more Li Qiuzhi wanted to get rid of those distracting thoughts, such as Fischer's body is so soft, and when he wanted to touch Ying's thigh, etc., more thoughts came out of him.

For example, the soft touch of stroking Fischer's calf and ankle through the black semi-transparent stockings.

The more you have to get rid of these thoughts, they are like a surging flood, there is no way to stop them!

Half an hour later, Li Qiuzhi slowly opened his eyes and sighed silently.

He found that letting go of distracting thoughts seemed like a daunting challenge to himself.

This has nothing to do with willpower, because distracting thoughts are also people's thoughts themselves, they are used to their existence, and it takes time to change them.

Probably not a day and a half can be successful.

He looked around and found that Ying next to him was still closing her eyes to collect distracting thoughts. Her calm expression seemed to have some effect?
And the little Paimon next to her was already completely lying on the ground, his eyes seemed to be circling blankly, and it was obviously a failure.

Having had experience, Li Qiuzhi knows without thinking that when Paimeng closes his eyes, all kinds of delicacies come out of his head.

Seeing so many delicious dishes, I probably didn't know which one to choose, so I simply lost my mind.

After another half an hour, Ying finally slowly opened her eyes.

"How, have you succeeded?" Li Qiuzhi asked curiously.

After closing his eyes for so long, he felt that there should be some results without accident.

"Well, I seem to feel spiritual power, invisible and intangible, like some kind of 'force field'."

Ying stretched out the tip of her pink tongue, slightly moistening her dry upper and lower lips.

"What about you?" She asked Li Qiuzhi.

"Uh, I was thinking too much, but I didn't succeed." Li Qiuzhi shrugged helplessly.

"Humph, idiot!"

Ying gave him a disgusted look. We all ate and lived together, traveled and had adventures together, so we naturally knew what kind of virtue this guy was.

It's nothing more than thinking about the soft and white body under the girl's clothes.

"I also failed. What I saw just now were all delicious. How can I be willing to block them?"

Paimon floated in mid-air and sighed.

Ying helplessly raised his forehead, these two guys are essentially the same in their love for a certain aspect of things, and they have reached the point where they have no resistance.

So it's strange to be able to successfully learn the "Concentration Technique"!

"Master said before that mortals care about the world of mortals, so it is normal to fail with distracting thoughts. If you really can't succeed, you can use the 'Safe Talisman' to assist."

Shen He saw the situation of several people in his eyes.

Although nothing happened that she imagined that all three of them could succeed easily.

But she also knows that a few people live in a big city with all kinds of disturbances, and it may really be difficult to calm down.

So she was going to use additional aids for those who didn't succeed.

"'An Amulet'. It is very useful just by hearing the name, so hurry up and give it a try!"

Hearing that he still had hope, Paimon excitedly clenched his small fists in mid-air and said hastily.

"Ah."

Shen He stood up, and took out two previously made "Saint Talismans" from the Eye of God.

They appear as icy blue rectangles, as if made entirely of ice elements, thin slices.

"Miss Shen He, how do I use this?"

Li Qiuzhi and Paimeng each took a piece of "Saint Talisman" and asked.

"Just put it on your forehead, and it will work."

The sun wasn't too hot, but there was a faint reflection on Shen He's black one-piece leather jacket that revealed a piece of delicate and white skin in the diamond-shaped cutouts on both sides of the waist and hips.

According to Shen He's words, Li Qiuzhi pasted the "Saint Talisman" on his forehead. Well, it feels like playing a zombie.

next second.

Sure enough, as Shen He said, the "Sacred Talisman" had an effect, and a cold energy flooded into his mind.

It feels like my consciousness is put in a silent refrigerator, and all kinds of distracting thoughts are quiet.

This "Safe Talisman" seems to have the effect of healing mental injuries, but it is a bit overkill just to block distracting thoughts.

No wonder Shen He didn't take it out at first. After all, if he can do it, there is no need to waste it.

Ah, it's kind of frustrating to think that way, and let down Shin Hak's expectations.

"The first step has been completed, and the next step is to try to gather and condense the mental power." Shen He continued to talk to Li Qiuzhi and the others in a tone without any emotional changes.

After being able to perceive the spiritual power, this step is not difficult. After a few attempts, everyone has done it one after another.

[Comprehended skill: Concentration Lv.1 (1/1000)]

Looking at the prompts that popped up on the character panel, Li Qiuzhi knew that he had just started, and that he would be able to increase his level as long as he invested experience points in the future.

In this way, he finally learned a skill to improve his mental strength.

"Thank you Shin Hak, do you need our help with anything as a thank you?"

Paimon was very happy to learn skills other than his inborn magic flight with phantom limbs, and then he took the initiative to thank Shen He.

This is very rare for little Paimon.
