Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 241 Cultivation
After bidding farewell to the great elder, Chen Xuan returned to the side hall where he was before. At this time, no one else was there, only the middle-aged woman Bai Ma was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the side hall. waiting for him.

The elders in this temple seem to be cultivators, and they seem to meditate whenever they have nothing to do.

"Young man, you have been away for a long time."

Sensing Chen Xuan entering the room, Baima opened her eyes and sat up.

"You have missed the initiation ceremony, but now you can just catch up with the first lesson of cultivation."

As for the reason why Chen Xuan was taken away by the old man in gray robe, Bai Ma didn't ask much, but directly made a gesture and took Chen Xuan to the place of cultivation.

Although Chen Xuan was a little curious about the initiation ceremony that Baima mentioned, he didn't care that much. After all, he didn't plan to stay here for a long time, so if he missed it, he would miss it.

Following behind Baima, he gradually realized that the road Baima took him seemed to be exactly the way he came here.

Isn't this going back again?
Sure enough, the two finally came to the gate of the Sunshine Tower.

The quaint wooden gate is about 3 meters high and [-] meters wide, with some patterns and ancient characters engraved on the surface. It does not have a door bolt or any mechanism, but it can guarantee a tightly closed state.

Without any movement, Chen Xuan only felt a strong wave coming from Baima's body, and the door in front of him was automatically opened slowly under the influence of this force.

Chen Xuan secretly slandered.

This small wooden door can be opened with a push of the hand, why does every elder use such a cool way.

Could it be that the greatest significance of psychic power is actually acting as a force?
Baima didn't know what was going on in Chen Xuan's mind, so she just said it lightly.

"The class is in the yard, and I'll take you here."

After all, she turned to leave.

At this time, the gate has been fully opened, and it can be seen that the sky outside is already pitch black, and the bright moonlight is shining on the white snow, which looks extraordinarily holy.

It's already night.

Chen Xuan raised his hand and glanced at his watch.

When he climbed up the Tianshuang Plateau, it was around one o'clock in the afternoon, and before he knew it, it was already six o'clock in the evening.

At this moment, the courtyard was not as crowded with people as it was during the day. Dozens of people in brown cloaks were sitting cross-legged in the snow.

In front of the courtyard, an elder in a gray robe was talking freely.

"Everyone knows that atoms are the basic unit of matter. By studying atoms, we can understand the nature of matter. However, many things do not have a form, such as consciousness and spirit. I believe everyone has heard of mind power, which can move objects. Psionic power and mind power are very similar, but there are some subtle differences..."

The lessons seem to have just begun.

Chen Xuan quickly stepped forward to join them, and chose a corner seat to sit down.

Although it is sitting directly in the snow, after all, it is thickly worn, so it doesn't feel cold on the buttocks.

And there is no wind at this time, so it is not very cold.

However, Chen Xuan still didn't understand one thing.

It's just a theoretical class, why go outside?
Despite the doubts in my heart, the most important thing is to understand the secrets of psychic cultivation.

Next, he pricked up his ears and began to concentrate on listening to the class. His serious look seemed to be back to his high school days.

From the introduction of the elder who was the speaker, he gradually gained a general understanding of spiritual power.

The so-called psionic energy is the product of the combination of human spirit and mutated energy.

This is like the combination of mutated energy and physical cells to advance a person's physique.

But there is a big difference between controlling the body and controlling the mind.

The body is substantial and is controlled by the consciousness of the brain, but how does the consciousness work if it has no support?

The emergence of mutated energy brings psionic energy, which is the medium.

The conscious body is equivalent to the body, and the spiritual energy is the upper limbs.

Although some of the functions of psionic power are similar to the mind power mentioned in science fiction movies, the two are still very different.

The power of thought in film and television dramas is a kind of superpower. It doesn't need any training. It seems like you can get started, but the ability is fixed and single.

Psychic energy is a rigorous power system, including the training of principles, growth and use skills.

Chen Xuan originally thought that the practice of psionic energy was like gymnastics, with a set of standards, and he only needed to follow it once to reach the standard.

However, after listening to the words of the elder who was the main speaker, he realized that there was no physical record of the cultivation method of psionic energy, and it relied on word of mouth, precept and example.

The main reason is that the secret of this method involves the spirit, which can only be felt, not expressed in words. It is difficult to describe the feeling in any words.

In addition, the presiding elder also mentioned the reason why the first lesson was held outdoors.

It turned out that these psionic masters in the Sunshine Tower had long discovered that moonlight was of great benefit to the spirit, and they could get twice the result with half the effort if they cooperated with it.

And this first night after the blizzard was a rare calm weather. There was no cloud in the sky, and there was no strong wind. It was an excellent day for cultivation, and it was most suitable for the introductory training of psionic masters.

Speaking of which, Chen Xuan was just lucky.

There will be a blizzard every half a month on the Tianshuang Plateau, and because of this weather pattern, the day after the blizzard is over is the selection meeting for psionic masters.

If it hadn't been for a coincidence that he was blown by a snowstorm and wanted to wait for another half a month for the next selection, he might not be willing to wait patiently at that time.

After a period of time, the elder who was the speaker finished his introduction to the basic theory of psionic energy, and began to formally teach everyone how to control psionic energy.

If you want to control psionic energy, you must first learn to meditate. A messy mind cannot control psionic energy well.

"Forget about the body, forget about yourself, and only then can you maximize the power of spiritual energy."

The presiding elder said loudly.

Chen Xuan closed his eyes together with everyone, and calmed down.

This is not the first time he has done this.

Only this time, Chen Xuan could feel a faint wave coming from a distance.

This is released by the speaking elder.

Under the fluctuation released by the elder who was the speaker, Chen Xuan felt that something in his mind was slowly resonating with it.

It's still possible.

Is this psionic power?

Chen Xuan had tried to control the technology related to the system through his mind before, but that was actually a very broad feeling.

But now, he could feel that a force in his thoughts seemed to be precisely positioned, and when he followed the guidance of the elder's words, he found that he could actually try to mobilize this substantial force.

It's like the feeling of controlling the miasma spores.

That time, it was because he connected with the consciousness of the spores and gained control of the spores.

But this time, it was not by external objects, but by his own strength.

The control of psychic energy is very different from gymnastics.

When doing gymnastics, he can feel the movement of every muscle and bone.

While meditating, his body seemed to disappear completely, leaving only a mass of spirit body, and this spirit body also had areas that could be controlled and areas that could not be controlled.

Psychic energy belongs to the area that can be controlled, while the uncontrollable area is equivalent to the central nervous system and needs to be protected.

Once these places are breached, consciousness will be annihilated.

[Spirit] After entering the third level, Chen Xuan has been able to perceive objects about 2 meters around him, but now when he tries to mobilize his spiritual energy to spread around, he finds that the distance has been doubled several times.

Sure enough, it is not enough to have power, if you don't know how to use it, it is a waste of money.

In his consciousness, he can see that the people around him are trying hard to control the psionic energy in their minds, but their awakening process does not seem to be easy.

Chen Xuan did not feel any fluctuations in them. The consciousness he diffused only came into contact with the elder who was speaking.

The presiding elder was currently inspecting the people in the courtyard.

The qualifications of this year's members are so-so, and why is there a strong kid? Can such a person actually become a psionic master... Wait, what's going on with this wave of psionic energy?

He looked in Chen Xuan's direction with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

In his cognition, no one is so fast, and this young man's psychic power is too strong, very solid and rock-solid.

This is a feeling that can only be felt when facing the Great Elder.

What is the background of this young man?
The presiding elder was a little curious.

The course of awakening psionic energy lasted until midnight.

According to Chen Xuan's perception, nearly half of the people in the courtyard also successfully controlled their spiritual energy.

It's just that the spiritual power of these people is very weak, like a group of weak flames, which will be extinguished with a light touch.

As for himself, he was a flaming ball of fire.

At this time, only to hear the old man speak to the crowd again.

"Many people have initially mastered spiritual power. Now is the time when the moonlight is strongest. Let's move on to the next step, the use of spiritual power."

"The most basic application is to learn to resist the cold through the mind. Those who have just awakened the spiritual power can now start to move the spiritual power to form a protective shield around them."

The final effect is to ensure that even if you only wear a thin robe, you will not be attacked by the cold air.

Of course, this is very difficult, and only gray-robed elders can do it. Everyone only needs to try to weaken a part of the cold air first to be successful. "

I really didn't expect that the original method of resisting the cold would start learning so early.

When Chen Xuan saw the gray-robed old man Rondo before, he was curious about his thin clothes, but after knowing that it was the effect of psychic power, he had the idea of ​​learning.

After all, this thing can save lives.

Wasn't it because of the strong cold that he almost froze to death at sea?
If he learns how to use psionic energy to fend off the cold, then even if there is another snowstorm, he can survive without fuel.

Moreover, diving operations will become much more convenient. It is not always so convenient to go into the water wearing a heavy bearskin suit.

Comparing with the tips dictated by the elder who was the speaker, Chen Xuan began to try it seriously.

I don't know if it's because he tried to control the spores in the sea of ​​miasma before, or because he used his mind to operate the system for a long time, or because his mental power is too strong.

He initially completed the step of resisting the cold air in less than an hour. Through the released spiritual energy, he can already isolate part of the influence of the cold air.

Just this is certainly not enough for Chen Xuan.

He continued to try, completely immersed in it, until he finally managed to completely block the cold air.

And this process was also watched by the speaker elder.

If he was just surprised just now, then in the process, he gradually became shocked.

How could this kind of elder-level control ability be achieved in a day?
Is it because I am too short-sighted, or is the young man in front of me too enchanting?
He felt that it was necessary for him to communicate with the Great Elder.

Unknowingly, the sun rises from the east.

In one night, with the exception of Chen Xuan, there were very few people who could initially resist the cold, but everyone had already completed the awakening of spiritual power.

Without the assistance of the moonlight, there was little point in staying outside. The elder who was the speaker gathered the people who were immersed in cultivation and led the team back to the temple.

Looking at the gate and the warm sun rising in the distance, Chen Xuan's heart skipped a beat.

Unknowingly, he has stayed on the Tianshuang Plateau for nearly a day and a night.

The course of psionic training doesn't seem to be finished in a short time, he has to go back to the "Kunpeng" first.

And get some cedar oil to take home.

Of course, it would definitely not work to just leave without saying goodbye.

Chen Xuan came to the door of the Great Elder's room again.

Here, he happened to meet the elder who was the speaker coming out of the door of the Great Elder.

The elder who was the speaker kept looking at Chen Xuan with complicated eyes, and muttered in his mouth.

"The future is formidable, and the future is formidable."

Then go away slowly.

Chen Xuan was a little confused, but at the moment his mind was on organizing the language.

He walked into the room, and before he could speak, the Great Elder who was sitting on the ground spoke first.

"Young man, Gonpo just came over to chat with me about you. I never expected that you learned so quickly. I underestimated you before."

Do people on the Tianshuang Plateau like to talk so much?
Chen Xuan secretly slandered.

However, he still spoke out the belly draft he had typed before.

"Great Elder, there are some things that are inconvenient for you to see..."

He briefly mentioned the matter of leaving briefly and exchanging supplies.

After listening, the Great Elder smiled slightly, and then said.

"The Sunshine Tower has never stipulated that psionicists cannot leave halfway. You can leave at any time. It's just that the gate of the Sunshine Tower requires a certain amount of mental strength to open, but I think you should be fine."

"The gate of the Sunrise Tower?"

"Yes, I believe you have also noticed that the building strength of the entire Sunrise Tower does not seem to be very high, but the material is not simple. Unfortunately, we do not have experts in this field, and we cannot make a general idea.

And the gate of the Sunshine Tower was just an ordinary wooden door before the end of the world. Now, without a certain amount of mental strength, it is impossible to push it open. "

I really didn't expect that there was another reason.

But this also let Chen Xuan breathe a sigh of relief.

And the Great Elder said again at this time.

"As for you saying you want to trade items, the Sunlight Tower is fine. The villages below will all contribute their local harvests, so you should be able to exchange for the things you want in the Sunlight Tower."
