Atlas of Heaven and Man

After returning to the Xuan Palace Mansion from Ink Paste Mountain, Chen Chuan opened the box and examined it. He saw that the medicinal seal was very well wrapped, with instructions to keep it in a cool, dry place as much as possible.

This wouldn't normally be a problem; it could be stored just about anywhere.

However, judging from the record of the ritual, if this thing were to be refined into a combined medicine, it would need to be fused with the Core of High Heaven Jade, and then ignited to make a lamp, which could only be used once.

The Core of High Heaven Jade is still useful to him now, and it should be used when nearing a certain limit. Now is not the time, so it's not needed yet.

He put the item away and asked Zhao Ming to keep an eye on it, then went back to continue his daily training.

The next day, at 8:50 in the morning, he came out of his room and arrived at the training ground on the 70th floor, and after waiting for a while, the time arrived.

Teacher Xue was, predictably, late again.

He calmly sat down and began practicing his breathing technique.

Around noon, footsteps came from outside, and Teacher Xue's apologetic voice followed:

"Student Chen, I'm so sorry, really sorry. I didn't mean to be late again today. A teacher really doesn't want this, alas, sometimes one is helpless."

Chen Chuan stood up and said, "This student understands."

Teacher Xue sighed and said, "No, no, a teacher must admit when they've made a mistake. Didn't the teacher say last time that if I were late again, I would find a way to compensate you?"

He took out a jade coin from his pocket and handed it to him.

"I obtained this thing unintentionally. It can help you gather your mind. Sometimes, if you lack incense and medicine, you can use this jade coin as a substitute, although the effect is a little worse, it's better than nothing. I'll give this to you."

Chen Chuan thought to himself, 'Teacher, were you already prepared to be late?'

He took the jade coin, and immediately felt a sense of coolness upon touching it, knowing that this thing was not simple. He looked at the style and felt that it looked like a shell.

Teacher Xue said, "This is a jade coin from the old era. I had someone look at it, and it is said to date back more than five thousand years."

Chen Chuan sincerely said, "Thank you, Teacher." 'Teacher, you might as well be late a few more times in the future.'

Teacher Xue waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it, this is the teacher's apology." He looked at Chen Chuan, touched his chin, "Have you been learning some mental techniques recently?"

Chen Chuan did not hide anything and said, "Yes, I am in Teacher Chen Bitong's training class. He taught me some techniques to stabilize mental frequencies. I don't know if there's a problem?"

Teacher Xue waved his hand, "It's nothing, these are just some small tricks, easy to learn. As long as the foundation is solid, you can practice these.

Well, since your spirit has been initially stabilized, then now I can teach you some skills on the use of mental power, sit down first."

Chen Chuan waited for him to sit down, and then sat down himself.

Teacher Xue got to the point very quickly: "Student Chen, I think if you have encountered opponents who are good at mental power before, most of them gathered their mental strength to impact you."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "That's right."

Whether it was Yu Lie, or Jian Chengsheng he encountered before, they all used it this way.

However, Jian Chengsheng used a little skill, but this person's original mental power seemed to be insufficient, which dragged down the use of skills. This person should be clear about this himself, so he borrowed the Jade Core of High Heaven Jade to help.

Teacher Xue said, "These methods are very superficial. It's not that they don't want to use better methods, it's just that their spirit is not condensed enough, not full enough, so they can't use very good techniques.

Just using the spirit to collide is a simple and easy method, and those who have not practiced it are indeed unable to resist it.

That Jian Chengsheng who fought with you came from the Wave Pavilion. This martial arts hall specializes in the mental aspect first, which is actually suitable for people with outstanding innate mental abilities.

As far as I know, all the disciples who enter the hall are one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand, and after entering the door, they have to go through a round of screening. If they can't do it, they will only exhaust themselves to death.

In the old era, if you didn't advance, you would retreat, and everyone was fighting for their lives. This method has its reasons, but in the new era, it can actually be eased a little, and that extreme method is no longer desirable.

What we need to do is proceed step by step. Now that you have some initial accumulation, then you can try to learn some shallower applications first."

He looked at Chen Chuan, "The spirit and the body achieve each other. You should have sparred or fought with people recently, right? Have you noticed that your mental power will penetrate into the opponent's body?"

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Yes, I have felt it. Once, when my spirit oppressed into the opponent's body, the opponent seemed unable to move."

Speaking, he slapped the back of his fist with his other hand, "And in this, the fist played a role as a medium. Here, using a knife, a sword, or anything else, even just the contact of the field, there is actually not much difference. In the final analysis, it is still your will, your belief that is at work.

Of course, beginners have insufficient mental power, so contact with a medium is the best. In addition to physical damage, this can also effectively strengthen a person's confidence."

Chen Chuan couldn't help nodding. When he fought Jian Chengsheng back then, the other party's knife was cut off by him. Obviously there was no contact, but it was still able to cause harm to him. It seems that this is the reason.

But if the knife is complete, then if it is cut down smoothly, perhaps the power of invasion will increase. Even if the mental impact does not cause damage, if the impact causes the body to stagnate for a moment, the knife can also take the opportunity to cut down, forming a kill.

Teacher Xue said, "I will now teach you a 'stance method' called 'Soul Hammer'. Mental power is emitted through the eyes, sound, and even the field. Without direct contact, it can fully exert the spiritual effect in battle."

Speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Chen Chuan was prepared and immediately gathered his mind. Immediately, he felt a thought coming over, conveying the usage tips and training methods of this 'stance method' completely and originally.

Teacher Xue waited for him to receive it, and the light in his eyes slowly dissipated, and said, "If you practice well, before you hit others, the spiritual momentum will first impact into their hearts, which can directly deter the enemy's courage and weaken their fighting spirit.

And when you practice to a more skilled level, within the range of your field, ordinary people or ordinary fighters can basically be shaken by your spirit, or be affected by the state, and in serious cases, they will directly lose their minds.

And when you practice to a deep level, you can even directly disturb the field signals of the other party's boundary, and make yourself or other people around you not be monitored by the field.

But I want to remind you, if you practice it in the future, don't use it indiscriminately, because some field creatures can protect them, or even counter your spirit, so be careful when you are unsure or not sure."

Chen Chuan responded seriously: "Teacher, I will remember your reminder."

Teacher Xue nodded with satisfaction, he stood up and said, "Wait for me." He walked outside, and after a while, brought two pots of broad-leaved green plants and placed them in front of him.

"These two are plants that have been transplanted from the Interfusion Land to the outside and adapted to the environment here, but they still retain some characteristics of the Interfusion Land, and are more sensitive to people's mental power and field. The power you use can be directly displayed, try it first."

Chen Chuan said okay, he adjusted his breathing slightly, and then according to the method he had just taught, he concentrated and looked at this green plant.

After a while, the branches and leaves of the green plant suddenly swayed on their own, and began to tremble violently. The broad leaves finally curled up into a ball, looking like a child squatting there with his head in his hands.

Teacher Xue said, "Does it feel a bit like a child? Hey, this is a kind of deception and disguise. This thing can feel the weak side of people's spirit and imitate it, so as to reduce harm.

He emphasized: "But spiritual offense and defense is sometimes very cruel. You must never be deceived by external appearances and some inner entanglements, otherwise the one who is invaded and killed may be you."

Chen Chuan couldn't help nodding.

Teacher Xue looked at the green plant, "You just took about three or four breaths to take effect. This time is too long in battle, but spirit can only generate power through long-term cohesion and training. After you adapt, you can gradually shorten the time.

But if you have to, you can strengthen its power by consuming divine essence."

Chen Chuan said: "Student understands."

Teacher Xue smiled and said, "Okay, now you know the attacking skills, then next I will teach you the method of defense, this skill is called 'Empty Heart Seal'."
