BXBX NOVEL Chapter 250 - 240: The gold in the Sakura treasury should be taken by me, a humble Taoist!
“This object is used to receive the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth, you only need to….”
As Xuanqing explained, he activated the Sub-Array Plate, shaped like the lid of a pot.
Buzz, buzz-
In an instant.
A white fog spread, hovering around the Sub-Array Plate.
This spiritual Qi from Heaven and Earth did not appear from nowhere, rather it was transmitted down as per a preset setting by the moon’s Main Array Plate upon sensing the activation of the Sub-Array Plate.
“Is this… the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth?”
Elder Jingde’s eyes widened in surprise.
As he touched the white fog, he felt an extraordinary comfort all over, just like a fish long been dried back in water again.
Off to the side.
Elder Qianqing was the same.
Though they had mastered mana for a long time, it was the first time they had contact with the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.
“Exactly. Just activating the Sub-Array Plate can continuously gather the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.”
“One Sub-Array Plate is enough to sustain thousands of people’s cultivation practice,” Xuanqing said casually.
Following this.
He took the watch on the plate into his hand and continued to explain, “This is the key to turn on the Array Plate.”
“To absorb the spiritual Qi from the Sub-Array Plate, one must refine this key. Then, based on the devotion to me, one can absorb equivalent spiritual Qi from the Sub-Array Plate.”
Upon hearing this.
Elder Jingde’s eyes brightened, eager to try, he said impatiently, “Palace Lord, may I try?”
“Go ahead!”
Xuanqing smiled and nodded, handing the watch to Elder Jingde, then he instructed, “Only a drop of blood is needed to make the key recognize the owner.”
The reason for using blood to establish ownership is because the targets here are ordinary people who have never practiced before and naturally don’t have mana or the power of the God Soul like cultivators do.
On this side.
Upon hearing the Palace Lord’s words.
Elder Jingde promptly extended his right hand, forcing out a drop of blood from his fingertip and dabbing it onto the watch.
In an instant.
A piece of information appeared in his mind out of nowhere.
The information contained a Shenxiao Visualization Technique that describes how to enhance mental power through contemplation.
During this process, absorption of spiritual Qi from Heaven and Earth is a must, otherwise, it could at most make you a little healthier and sharper, but it is impossible to generate mana.
If you want to gain spiritual Qi from Heaven and Earth, you have to burn incense and worship in the Taoist temple. However, he wasn’t quite sure how this was done.
“Palace Lord, what is the situation of gaining spiritual Qi by burning incense and worshiping?” Elder Jingde curiously asked.
“Just try it and you will know!” Xuanqing’s mouth curved upwards slightly.
Upon hearing this.
Elder Jingde paused slightly, then asked uncertainly, “Where should I burn the incense? Should I go to the main hall?”
“No need, just near this Sub-Array Plate is fine.” Xuanqing pointed to the Sub-Array Plate in Jingde’s hand as he explained.
“Understood!”
Elder Jingde nodded and put the Sub-Array Plate in his hand on the ground.
Next.
He followed the guidance on the watch, sat cross-legged between….imagining the divine statue of ‘Taichi Palace Left Envoy, Thunder God Envoy, and Head of Leiting Zhu Temple’ in his mind.
Contemplation… or more accurately, continually hinting to himself, having faith in the God he visualized in his mind.
With Elder Jingde’s contemplative prayer.
A wisp of incense belief emerged from the top of his head, which was then absorbed by the nearby Sub-Array Plate.
Once the Sub-Array Plate absorbed the incense, it was immediately activated, transmitting the corresponding spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth into the Array Plate Key, also referred to as the watch on Elder Jingde’s wrist.
After that…
The Array Plate Key radiated warmth, and directly transmitted this spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth through the wrist and into Elder Jingde’s body.
At this moment.
Elder Jingde felt a coolness in his wrist, followed by a familiar energy surging into his body from the wrist.
He, who was in the state of contemplative prayer, unconsciously used his mental strength according to the contemplation method to refine this spiritual Qi from Heaven and Earth.
In this process, most of the spiritual Qi from Heaven and Earth nourished the God Soul, and only a small part was used to strengthen the body and turn it into mana within the body.
Moments later.
“Phew-” Elder Jingde opened his eyes, awakening from the state of contemplative prayer.
Seeing this.
Elder Qianqing on the side, brimming with curiosity, could not help but take a step forward and ask, “Jingde, how docs it feel?”
Elder Jingde pondered for a moment, thinking awhile, formulating the words in his mind before starting to explain:
“This ‘Shenxiao Visualization Technique’ is amazing. During the contemplative prayer, I unknowingly completed the cultivation practice.”
“I could feel that there wasn’t much improvement in my physical body and mana. Most of the spiritual Qi from Heaven and Earth was used to nourish the God Soul.”
Upon hearing this.
Xuanqing nodded secretly.
The ‘Shenxiao Visualization Technique’ he invented is primarily a cultivation technique for the God Soul, while physical body and mana are just incidental.
The reason for this.
Is that he found that the incense belief that a living being can contribute, besides their sincerity, is also related to the intensity of their essence, Qi, and God Soul.
And among the essence, Qi, and God Soul, the ‘God Soul’ had the most significant impact, directly influencing the birth of the incense belief.
Therefore.
Xuanqing created this ‘Shenxiao Visualization’, using his divine position as the object of the visualization, to enhance the God Soul power of the believers.
Of course.
Let’s not mention these for now.
His gaze turned towards Elder Jingde..
