The universal system is a bit cute

Chapter 256 Measuring Stone

What else can Akita say?
All I can say is that the system is right, very right.

But then again, since the system said so easily, probably, it really won't be too difficult.

At least, she can solve it if she uses her own brain and thinks of a way.

Akita Tian withdrew his thoughts and stopped talking to the system, but focused on observing Taoist Yun's reaction.

The system is really right. A person's abilities are multifaceted, not just the realm of cultivation.

The library is very large, like a large library, with rows of books neatly placed on the shelves.

There are all kinds of books, some are made of paper, some are made of bamboo slips, and some are made of unclear materials.

In addition, there are some jade pieces.

Seeing those jade pieces, Akita Tian felt his heart warm.Jade pieces are not "books" that ordinary people can read, but only practitioners can read.

Because reading this book requires infusion of spiritual energy.

It's not just books, there are also some jade tablets that record secret techniques, just like Mo Yuan once gave her.

Qiu Tiantian knew that the strangeness in his eyes could not be concealed from Taoist Yun's eyes, because Taoist Yun had been observing her and Zuo Muchen closely.

She didn't want to hide it too much. Even ordinary people had heard of this special book.

If she pretended not to know anything, it would be abnormal.

Akita hesitated for a moment, pointed to the bookshelf where the jade pieces were displayed, and asked, "Master Daoist, are those jade pieces the legendary books read by practitioners?"

"Oh? You also know?" Daoist Yun asked with great interest.

Akita said: "I have heard people mention that the books that practitioners read are different from what ordinary people read, and they are recorded on jade tablets. However, I have never seen the real thing. These jade tablets are placed in the book collection. The interior, come to think of it, should be related to books, right?"

Her speculation was reasonable and flawless.

Zuo Muchen's eyes lit up as well, and he shouted: "I've heard of it too, I've seen it at my elder brother's place, that's how it is."

Taoist Yun smiled and said: "Yes, you are right, this is the book that practitioners read. Mu Chen, do you want to read it?"

Zuo Muchen nodded, then shook his head again.

"Is there a picture in it? I want to see a picture book."

Taoist Yun said: "Of course there is, not only that, but the people inside can move."

"Can it move? Really? Can I see it?" Zuo Muchen cheered, almost jumping up.

Taoist Yun walked to the bookshelf, took out a jade piece, pressed his hand on the jade piece, and injected spiritual power.

Soon, a faint figure appeared in the sky.The figure's clothes were fluttering, and he was holding a sword in his hand and was dancing with it.

It seems that this piece of jade should have recorded a special skill, and this person is demonstrating it.

The figure was very vivid, but it was too illusory to see clearly.

Soon, a set of sword skills was demonstrated, and the figure stood still.

Taoist Yun let go of his hand on the jade piece, and the figure in the void disappeared.

Taoist Yun said, "How is it? Does it look good?"

Zuo Muchen was dumbfounded, clapped his hands and shouted: "It's really moving, it's great, but it's a pity that I can't see it very clearly."

Taoist Yun said: "This is because I used my spiritual power to force this image out, so it's not very clear. If you cultivate your own spiritual power and hold the jade piece in your hand to look at it, it will be very clear and you can also hear what's inside." What people say."

"Can you see more clearly and hear sounds?" Zuo Muchen was surprised and happy.

Taoist Yun smiled and asked, "Didn't your elder brother tell you?"

Zuo Muchen shook his head and said, "No."

A look of regret or luck appeared on Taoist Yun's face.

Akita guessed, probably he felt that Zuo Xiaoli didn't find the right way to lure Zuo Muchen to practice, so he felt sorry.

At the same time, it is precisely because Zuo Xiaoli failed to induce Zuo Muchen to practice, that he can now have this opportunity, and this is something he is thankful for.

Daoist Yun then asked tentatively: "Why don't we come to practice now. If you can cultivate spiritual power, you can see these jade pieces."

Zuo Muchen opened his innocent eyes wide, and asked: "What's in these jade pieces? Are they all dancing swords like the man just now?"

Taoist Yun said with a mysterious smile: "Not only that. There are sword dancers, punchers, knives, various spiritual weapons, and many magical beasts and spiritual herbs. I guarantee you will like them." .”

"That's great, let's practice." Zuo Muchen cheered.

Taoist Yun led them to a relatively empty place.

This small area is behind the bookshelf where the jade pieces are placed. It is empty, with a few futons on the ground, and a black thing like a stone tablet standing on one side.

Zuo Muchen looked left and right, then suddenly pointed at the stone tablet and asked, "What is that?"

Daoist Yun has a good temper and always answers questions.

"That's a measuring stone for measuring spiritual power. You can tell if you have cultivated spiritual power in your body and how much you have cultivated."

Qiu Tiantian was taken aback. If Taoist Yun insisted on letting her and Zuo Muchen test their spiritual power, would they be able to measure their real spiritual power?

I don't know how the measuring stone is measured, and whether it can be avoided.

She wanted to ask, but she was afraid of making Taoist Yun suspicious, so she didn't dare to ask.

Fortunately, Zuo Muchen also cared about this question, knowing that she cared about it too, so he asked it out for her.

"How is this measured?"

It was appropriate for him to ask this question.Regardless of the level of conversation he has with Taoist Yun or his curious nature, he can still ask this question.

Taoist Yun explained: "Just press your hand on this stone tablet, use your spiritual power as best you can, inject spiritual power into the stone tablet, and you can measure it."

Zuo Muchen blinked in confusion and asked again: "If a person inputs different spiritual power every time, wouldn't the measured results also be different?"

Taoist Yun laughed and said, "Your words are correct, but only you can ask such childish words."

"why?"

This time, not only Zuo Muchen was alone, even Akita Tian couldn't help asking.

The two asked the same question in unison, almost in unison.

Taoist Yun said with a smile: "You two are not cultivators, so it's normal if you don't understand these things. This measuring stone is very precious, but not everyone is qualified to use it to measure spiritual power. It is not always possible to measure it. Therefore, everyone will do their best when measuring, so as to have a bottom line on their spiritual power. Everyone will cherish this opportunity very much, unless someone has some ulterior purpose to deliberately conceal their own strength However, there is no need to hide it, because even if you want to hide it, you may not be able to hide it?"

"why?"

Another question in unison.

Daoist Yun glanced at them, put one hand behind his back, and said quietly: "Because, how much spiritual power a practitioner has can be perceived. To be precise, people with a high realm can perceive the spiritual power of a person with a low realm. How much spiritual power is there, and people with low realms can't perceive people with high realms. Therefore, if you want to hide your strength, you can't hide it in front of people with higher realms than yourself. And if this person is already in the realm He is the tallest person, so why should he hide it? Even if he really has a necessary reason to hide it, although a person with a lower realm cannot perceive his specific spiritual power, he can still feel that the person in front of him is an existence that he cannot handle. So, either it doesn’t happen, or the people tested will do their best.”

Akita nodded, indicating that he understood.

She immediately relaxed.

From Taoist Yun's words, she could tell that if she wanted to hide the fact that she had spiritual power, it was actually very simple, that is, do not input spiritual power into the measuring stone.

As for those with low realms, they can't hide their strength from those with high realms. Since Daoist Yun has not discovered that she is a cultivator until now, she no longer has to worry about anything.

Akita Tian suddenly felt that the system is really powerful, the hidden spirit talisman it gave him is so magical.

Moreover, according to Taoist Ting Yun's tone, there seems to be no one in the circle of practitioners who uses the Hidden Spirit Talisman.

Otherwise, why did he say that strength cannot be concealed?
Akita thought for a while, then asked: "Master Dao, listen to what you mean, but for any cultivator, how high his realm is and what his cultivation level is, he can't hide it from anyone? Especially those who have a higher realm than him before?"

"It can be said that a person with a low realm can fully reveal his strength as long as he stands in front of a person with a high realm. However, when a person with a high realm is in front of a person with a low realm, he can only make the latter feel that his skills are inferior to others, but he cannot perceive it to the end. To what extent."

Taoist Yun patiently explained.

Now that the topic has been discussed, it is normal for Akita to have these questions.

Many people who come into contact with this level for the first time will have such questions.

Akita was a little worried, and said: "Isn't it true that everyone is transparent? People with low realms have no secrets in front of people with high realms. Moreover, as long as two practitioners stand together, they will know who they are. Who is stronger and who is weaker, there is no need to compete? Unless, they are about the same strength?"

Taoist Yun said with a smile: "This is indeed the case for people with a large difference in realm. Those with a low realm have to obediently obey those with a high realm. But if the difference in realm is not too far, it is hard to say. Because some people have more combat experience , Some people have stronger unique skills, and some even have secret techniques, or jade charms with secret techniques, so the outcome is not easy to judge."

Zuo Muchen then shouted: "Ah, cultivators are not fun at all, they can see everything clearly."

"That's right," Akita said, "If we can really cultivate, when we first become practitioners, everyone can see us clearly, and they can bully us."

Taoist Yun laughed out loud, and it took him a while to stop.

"Why are you laughing?" Zuo Muchen asked angrily.

Taoist Yun said with a smile: "You guys, why are you asking such childish questions? Even you, Mrs. Third Young Master, why are you asking this question?"

"Is this question funny?" Akita asked with a frown.

Taoist Yun said: "When you first became cultivators, you were certainly at the lowest level of cultivators. But everyone has come here like this, and you will grow up slowly. Moreover, no matter how transparent you are, you can compare with ordinary people. Is it transparent? Although in the cultivation world, people with low realms must submit to those with high realms, this is determined by strength. But have you ever thought about what it will be like when ordinary people face cultivators?"

Akita looked suddenly enlightened, hugged his fists to Taoist Yun, and said with shame, "Taoist Master is right, I made a mistake."

Then, he pulled Zuo Muchen's sleeve and said to him: "Mu Chen, we were too stupid and didn't turn around for a while. We are ordinary people now. Even those who have just become cultivators can do whatever they want to us. There is nothing we can do about it. But if we become cultivators, we will have room for improvement. We can continue to improve ourselves, and our realm will gradually improve."

After listening to her explanation, Zuo Muchen also looked suddenly enlightened.

Daoist Yun stroked his beard and smiled: "Yes, that's the truth. Besides, you are at least under my protection now, other people don't dare to do anything to you."

Akita asked cautiously: "Master Dao, since you mentioned this, can you tell us your identity in the cultivation world?"

Yun Dao said humanely: "Since you asked, I have to answer. Besides, I also need to tell you. The name of our holy place, which you can guess if you think about it, is called Xueluo Holy Land."

Akita nodded and complained in his mind that it was so convenient to get names here. He could just use the word "Xueluo" for everything, and there was no need to waste his brain thinking of other names.

However, this is also reasonable, which just shows the weight of the word "Xueluo".

Just like on Earth, there are many local top schools and hospitals that like to be named after places.

The Xueluo Holy Land probably means the most powerful Holy Land of the Xueluo Clan. By the way, Taoist Yun said it before, that's what it means.

This is the most powerful holy land of the entire Xueluo clan.

Taoist Yun said: "Since I can bring you to the library of Xueluo Holy Land, and I can also bring you here and use the measuring stone at will, I think you should have some confidence in my status in Xueluo Holy Land."

Akita Tian nodded and said, "Can the Taoist priest explain it more clearly?"

In fact, when she entered Xueluo Holy Land, she had already guessed.

Xueluo Temple is just an entrance of Xueluo Holy Land set up in the secular world, a cover-up to deceive ordinary people, the real center of power is in Xueluo Holy Land.

Xueluo Temple is a peripheral organization, to put it bluntly, it is the gatekeeper.

Therefore, the seemingly aloof abbot of Xueluo Temple is just the head of the gatekeeper, and his status in Xueluo Holy Land may not really mean anything.

And Daoist Yun is the one who has the right to speak.

As for why he stayed in Xueluo Temple for a long time, there may be other reasons, the specifics are unknown.

Taoist Yun said: "I am one of the elders of Xueluo Holy Land, you can also call me Elder Yun. As long as you practice with me, no one in the entire Xueluo clan will dare to touch you. Dare to move one of your fingers. Therefore, you don’t have to worry at all, when your realm is low, there will be people with high realms who will use their strength to overwhelm you.”
