Wang Ming nodded slightly and said thoughtfully, "It sounds a bit like the mental adjustment we used to make when we practiced shooting. We need to be single-minded and focused on the target. I'll give it a try; maybe I can get a feel for it."

Chang Yin looked at everyone with a deep gaze and said, "Everyone must pay attention to their body's reaction during the process. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, don't force yourself to continue. Stop immediately."

We still have a mission to complete, and we can't let our attempts at cultivation interfere with our main tasks.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Then, Tang Yue explained in detail some of her methods for sensing spiritual energy and the rhythm of her breathing. Everyone listened attentively, occasionally imitating her movements.

Following Tang Yue's instructions, Sun Jinan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. But after a short while, he frowned, inwardly groaning.

"Why is this so difficult? My mind is like a wild horse that I can't control."

He turned his head and glanced at Wang Ming next to him, and found that Wang Ming had never closed his eyes, and a helpless look appeared on his face.

Wang Ming was indeed somewhat troubled. He was used to being energetic and decisive, and he simply couldn't calm down under these circumstances.

After only a few attempts, Wang Ming began to ponder, "It seems that cultivation is even more difficult than fighting a war. In a war, at least I know where the enemy is and how to deal with them. Why can't I get rid of these distracting thoughts in my mind?"

Chang Yin was relatively calmer; he tried to clear his mind and focus on his breathing.

But gradually, he also felt the difficulty. His years of military service had instilled in him a habit of being vigilant at all times, so how easy was it to completely relax?

His brow furrowed slightly as he thought to himself, "It seems that the path of cultivation is fraught with thorns from the very beginning, but since I've made this decision, I can't give up easily."

After a while, Tang Yue asked softly, "How is everyone feeling? Is there anything special?"

Sun Jinan was the first to raise his hand. He smiled wryly and said, "Company Commander, I just can't calm my mind. It's too difficult."

Wang Ming nodded in agreement, saying helplessly, "Me too, it feels even more tiring than running a few kilometers."

Chang Yin slowly opened his eyes and said with a solemn expression, "It is indeed not easy, but I feel that for a moment, I seemed to have caught a different kind of aura. It was very faint. I don't know if it was just my imagination."

Tang Yue looked at Chang Yin with some surprise. This guy seemed to be twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, right? At such an age, how could he have developed some senses so quickly? What could she say about this person's spirituality?

However, since she had just started experimenting, she couldn't dampen their enthusiasm.

Tang Yue smiled and nodded, encouraging everyone: "Don't worry, everyone. This is a good start no matter what."

Especially the company commander, it's really great that he had this feeling at the beginning. Cultivation is not something that can be done overnight, so don't be discouraged, everyone, let's take it slowly.

Next, let's set aside some time each day to practice. Over time, it should be effective.

Hearing Tang Yue's words, everyone regained their confidence and expressed their determination to persevere. In the mysterious and dangerous Qinling Mountains, filled with a yearning for unknown power, they embarked on a difficult path of cultivation, hoping to quickly find clues amidst their predicament, complete their mission, and locate their missing comrades.

Deep in the Qinling Mountains, beside a deep abyss, "Bah! Battalion Commander, Old Tang, these spies are really relentless. How many bullets did they bring? They've been fighting for three days now, and they show no sign of stopping."

Tang Shengkai stared at the person opposite him, a look of doubt in his eyes.

"Battalion Commander, I have a feeling something's wrong. Can you analyze this for us?"

Xu Hongchang, his face covered in soot, said, "Well, Lao Tang, what have you discovered? Tell me."

The group huddled together, while Bu Mancang glanced at the opposite side every now and then. They were constantly cutting down trees there. Then some people were trimming branches, others were building a bridge across the abyss, and then others were venturing upwards.

Tang Shengkai couldn't even remember how many pieces of wood he had poked through.

Bu Mancang was starting to have doubts. How did these spies get into their country? Didn't anyone notice? This was too rampant. He felt that at least fifty or sixty people must have died in the last three days.

But seeing the densely packed figures opposite him, Bu Mancang felt like cursing.

Tang Shengkai spoke up, "Battalion Commander, last night I clearly felt that for a while they seemed to not want to fire at us anymore. I didn't quite hear what the leader was saying, but it seemed to be something like, 'We're running out of bullets.'"

But why are they launching another fierce attack today, after just one night? It seems like it's their final battle.

"Commander, have you noticed the expressions on those guys' faces? They seem crazy, really happy, like something good is about to happen."

Everyone understood what Tang Shengkai meant: if they were happy, then nothing good would happen to them.

After carefully considering Tang Shengkai's words and secretly comparing them to reality, Xu Hongchang felt that Tang Shengkai's words made a lot of sense. However, Xu Hongchang still couldn't understand what they were so happy about. After all, they couldn't come over.

"Old Tang, tell me, what are they happy about if they can't come?"

"Of course they've figured out a way to get here," Chen Erniu said quickly, blurting out whatever came to mind.

“Yes, we should have figured out a way for them to get here. But how will they get here?” Xu Hongchang continued to ask.

Fei Shuwen thought for a moment, "It shouldn't be. They've already caused trouble both upstream and downstream. You could say Old Tang has blocked all their paths. No matter where they cause trouble, Old Tang has dealt with them. So what are they happy about?"
