"Good deal? What does that mean?" Xuan Ming asked.
"Because practicing is tiring." Dugu Yan said.
"Even if you are meditating, your mental strength is being consumed, unless you have special assistance, like the various facilities in the academy that help soul masters recover quickly, and the simulated training ground that allows soul masters to stay in the "peak state" for a long time."
"Otherwise, practicing half the time every day is already the limit."
"As for the time that exceeds half, even if there is external help to recover, the psychological fatigue cannot be eliminated."
"The training of a soul master is very boring. When you first start meditating, you are more excited and focused. But as time goes by, you will feel bored or even uncomfortable doing the same thing over and over again for a long time. Then, your spirit will begin to weaken, your attention will be scattered, and your training efficiency will be greatly reduced."
"Some people practice for a whole day and don't make much more progress than others who practice for only half a day, just because of the change in efficiency."
"Although it seems like I have practiced for a longer time, in reality, the difference is really not that big."
"Moreover, the longer you practice, the greater the psychological pressure. If you are in a high-pressure state for a long time without getting actual feedback, your mentality will become distorted, and your efficiency will become lower and lower."
"So, cultivation must be done in moderation. Excessive diligence will only backfire."
The mentality of a soul master is very important. Once the mentality is distorted, it is easy to go to extremes. It is considered good if they give up on themselves. But if they are more extreme, they will directly attack and harm others, saying, "If I am not good, you can forget about it" and there are many such people.
"Of course, what Yanzi said is just a general situation. It does not rule out that there are some crazy practitioners who value every second. They perform various martial arts and physical training during the day, and at night, they replace sleep with meditation. In the true sense, they practice day and night." Xue Qinghe said.
"However, there are very few soul masters who can stick to this training mode, or even almost none."
"Because being able to do this kind of thing is itself a powerful talent."
Being able to concentrate on a repetitive task for a long time without feeling bored and staying in a highly active state mentally is not an easy thing and no normal person can do it.
If one does not have this talent, but practices under excessively high pressure, the psychological pressure will continue to accumulate, and the efficiency of practice will only drop significantly!
Everything has its limits, so one should practice cultivation within one's ability.
Not considering your own situation and stubbornly insisting on using wrong methods is not hard work, it's brainless.
…
Wuhun City, Pope's Palace.
"Teacher, where is Xuan Ming? Why haven't I seen him recently?" Hu Liena asked.
"He's gone." Bibi Dong said.
"Gone?" Hu Liena was stunned.
"Where did you go?"
"Tiandou City." Bibi Dong said.
"The situation is a bit complicated, so don't ask."
"Oh..." Hu Liena nodded, "Will he... come back?"
Bibi Dong paused and said, "Maybe."
Qian Renxue has a very strong desire for control, and Xuan Ming is a rebellious person, so there will definitely be a lot of friction between these two people.
At some point, Qian Renxue might get angry and embarrassed, or feel that Xuan Ming was out of her control, and kill him.
During her time in the Pope's Palace, she had been tormenting Xuan Ming in various ways. Besides playing with him, she also wanted to temper his temper so that he wouldn't explode again.
Qian Renxue did have a strong desire to conquer Xuan Ming, but once she felt that this was impossible, she would destroy it without hesitation!
"Teacher, you..." Hu Liena hesitated to speak.
"You want to ask me why I helped him so much?" Bibi Dong said.
"Yeah." Hu Liena nodded.
She knew very well that her teacher would not make meaningless efforts. She had always thought that Xuan Ming would become his disciple like her, but now Xuan Ming had left Wuhun City and went to Tiandou City.
Although she didn't know why, but thinking of the previous incident of Elder Golden Crocodile kidnapping people, she could vaguely guess that this might be some secret plan of the Elders' Hall.
However, her teacher did not get along with those worshippers, especially Elder Golden Crocodile, but everyone was concerned about the impact and there had never been any obvious conflict.
Xuan Ming went to Tiandou City so suddenly. She saw that her teacher was not in a good mood. Obviously, this was not what her teacher planned.
In this case, wouldn't everything her teacher had done before be just to help Elder Golden Crocodile?
"Why do you think I helped him?" Bibi Dong asked.
"Pity?" Hu Liena guessed.
"Am I the kind of person who has excessive compassion?" Bibi Dong said.
Hu Liena lowered her head and thought, "Is Xuan Ming the teacher's undercover agent?"
Bibi Dong laughed, "Do you think it's possible?"
"Why is that?" Hu Liena asked puzzledly.
"Don't be impatient, and don't just focus on the immediate benefits." Bibi Dong said.
"When one way doesn't work, think of another way."
Qian Daoliu was very resolute in this matter and would not leave Xuan Ming to him, so she did not expect to completely pull Xuan Ming to her side from the beginning.
No matter whether she tortured Xuan Ming, or beat him up before leaving, or said those words to him, she had only one purpose, which was to suppress Xuan Ming's rebelliousness. At least now he was not qualified to explode.
Once Xuan Ming begins to tolerate Qian Renxue, the resentment in his heart will grow stronger and stronger.
In this way, even if Xuan Ming does not completely stand on her side in the future, it will be enough as long as he stands opposite the six-winged angel family.
Of course, if Xuan Ming couldn't hold back and was solved by Qian Renxue, then it could only be said that she had misjudged him.
"Your Holiness." Yue Guan walked quickly into the hall.
"Old Ghost spotted a figure that looked like Dugu Bo outside Wuhun City this morning. Someone in the city was also asking if they had seen a child with a strange black dragon on his back appear in Wuhun City."
"Also, a message came from the Wuhun Hall in olai City two days ago, saying that a soul master with terrifying strength was looking for the patrol deacon that was brought back by the old ghost."
"Dugu Bo?" Bibi Dong raised her eyebrows.
"Didn't they say that he had no relationship with Xuan Ming?"
Xuan Ming just returned, so Dugu Bo should have missed him.
But why did this old poisoner come to Wuhun City to look for someone?
"The old poisoner has a strange temperament. Although he has no bottom line, he still pays great attention to distinguishing between gratitude and resentment." Yue Guan said.
"It should be that Xuan Ming helped him before, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't pay back the debt."
"Your Holiness, do you want me to chase him away?"
After Xuan Ming entered the Wuhun Academy, he became a hot topic because of his peculiar appearance. Although the academy had ordered a blockade of information and no further mention of the matter more than a month ago after Xuan Ming entered the Pope's Palace, problems could still arise in a short period of time. If Dugu Bo inquired for information at this time, if he really found out something, accidents would be inevitable.
"Drive him away? Do you know where he is now?" Bibi Dong was speechless.
"What if he has already entered the city? Do you dare to confront him forcefully?"
"This…" Yue Guan's expression was a little stiff.
This is Wuhun City! If that old poisonous creature has entered the city, then he is an ancestor!
"Then... report to Elder Golden Crocodile, or the chief priest?" Yue Guan suggested.
"Those two old guys are in seclusion. I'm afraid they won't go out in the next few years." Bibi Dong said.
Ever since Xuan Ming was sent away, the door of the worship hall has been closed, as if the people were angry about what she said.
But she couldn't control it. Ever since Xuan Ming entered the Pope's Palace, he would occasionally say something irritating. She wanted to temper that boy, but she wasn't sure if Xuan Ming's temper had been tempered.
Anyway, she was tempered! Not only was he tempered, but he also brought over the irritating tone of his words.
"What should we do then?" Yue Guan asked worriedly.
"If that old poisoner really finds out some information..."
"Use the spies from Tiandou City to reveal the message to him and tell him that Xuan Ming has returned." Bibi Dong said.
"As for other things, let some people worry about it themselves."
"clear."
