I am Su Mu.
A cunning merchant who has traversed into a world of cultivation and magic!
My motto? [Pay-to-win to become immortal, grind till the end!]
Spending my own money is not...
"How could this be? Doesn't Xiao Ye have any talent for body training? That's not right. If she really doesn't have any talent, reading the theory would be like reading a mystery. She wouldn't understand it at all. But she learned it in a flash, and she can explain it clearly and apply it to other situations. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like she doesn't have any talent..."
Su Mu frowned, his mind full of questions.
Su Ye was also confused. She clearly understood everything her brother said, and it even seemed simple to her. So why did she fail after practicing it? What went wrong?
Both the brother and sister were people who didn't believe in evil, so they tried a few more times, but still didn't work.
Even though Su Mu taught him step by step, Su Ye only understood it with his eyes and brain, but his body did not cooperate at all.
Seeing that his sister could not learn the self-defense skills of the body training major, Su Mu let her rest for a while, and then taught her the fire-starting skills of the Dingshi major.
This spell is not only Dingshi's professional way to control firepower, but it can also be used to defend oneself against enemies. As long as there is fire around, this spell can come in handy.
Of course, with Su Ye's spiritual energy level, even after learning this spell, she couldn't exert much power. At most, she could control a small flame, which couldn't last long. In one or two seconds, the spiritual energy in her body would be drained.
But Su Mu still taught her, just to see if she could learn it.
The familiar scene appeared again.
Su Ye quickly mastered the theory of the Fire-Starting Technique, and could even explain it more clearly and systematically than Su Mu.
However, he failed as soon as he started practicing. Not only could he not control a small flame, he couldn't even muster up the spiritual power to make it operate according to the requirements of the Fire Starting Technique.
Later, Sumu changed several majors.
The situation remains unchanged. Su Ye learns theory quickly, but fails when it comes to practicing.
What is this? The king of mouth cannon?
But it was not like this when Su Ye first learned the art of nourishing Qi and the method of making Qi-refining pills.
"etc……"
Su Mu raised his eyebrows, feeling that he had grasped some clues.
"The Qi-refining pill is not an elixir. You can tell by its grade. Even if it is upgraded to perfection, it is only level zero. And Xiao Yezi didn't actually learn how to make the Qi-refining pill. I did all the preparation of the medicine and the honey refining in the early stages. She just rolled the mixed powder into pills. Anyone can do this job."
"So, the only knowledge that Xiao Ye has truly learned about cultivation so far is the art of nourishing qi..."
Su Mu had a guess in his mind, but it still needed to be verified through experiments.
However, he currently only has the technique of nourishing Qi. Even if he wants to make a breakthrough by spending money, he must first learn the knowledge of "Basic Theory of Cultivation", "Principles and Applications of Aura", and "Human Physiology".
Far water cannot put out a nearby fire.
Maybe Kevin can help?
Su Mu took out his cell phone, called Kevin, and asked him to come to his room.
More than ten minutes later, the doorbell rang. The door opened and Kevin, dressed in pajamas, walked in.
He kept muttering, "Hey, man, what's the matter with calling me here? Fortunately, I was just lying in bed and not asleep, otherwise you couldn't wake me up even if you called me more..."
Seeing that he was about to talk nonstop again, Su Mu hurriedly interrupted him, otherwise he could talk for hours without stopping, from poetry and songs to the philosophy of life...
"Kevin, when you were in the magic academy, did you learn any techniques to increase your spiritual energy?"
Kevin said, "Of course there is, meditation. But we call aura elemental magic. In fact, they are the same thing, just with different names, just like I call you Su Mu and Xiao Ye calls you brother. Ah, speaking of meditation, I thought of some interesting things that happened when I was learning it. Do you want to hear it?"
"I don't want to!" Su Mu and Su Ye said almost in unison.
Kevin was stunned for a moment, probably thinking, why is this script different from what I designed?
But he quickly said, "Then I'll tell you another story..."
Su Mu quickly interrupted him again: "Wait a minute Kevin, we'll tell your stories later. Maybe you can write them into a book called Harry Potter... Let's get down to business. Can the meditation technique be passed on to others? If so, can you teach Xiao Ye? We can pay the tuition, regardless of whether she can learn it or not."
"Writing a book? That's a good idea, but why is it called Harry Potter? What a strange title..."
After talking for a while, Kevin finally got back to the topic.
"Xiao Ye wants to learn meditation? She doesn't want to practice Taoism, but wants to become a magician? Or does she want to combine Chinese and Western cultures? Well, I mean, I can teach her. Meditation in Europe is just like Qigong in your country. Anyone can learn it. There's nothing to keep secret. Forget about the tuition. I'm not interested in money."
Su Mu was speechless about Kevin's invisible pretense, but it would be fine as long as he was willing to teach Su Ye meditation.
"Thank you Kevin, can you teach her now?" Su Mu asked.
"Now?"
Kevin was stunned for a moment and spread his hands.
"My friend, you should know that although meditation is the most basic mental method, it is not something that can be learned in a short time, just like your Qi-cultivation technique. It's too late now, maybe we can change the class to tomorrow morning? We should try to let her master the principles of meditation within a week, and then use ten days or half a month to enter the state of meditation and absorb elemental magic, which is what you call spiritual energy."
Su Mu said: "It's okay, you can explain the knowledge of meditation first... Then, I will order takeout and have a midnight snack later."
Kevin's eyes lit up immediately: "That's a good suggestion... Order me some blood curd and heart and lungs, I love these delicacies."
"Okay." Su Mu responded, "It's rare to see foreigners who like to eat blood and heart and lung."
"That's because you don't have enough experience. Germany also has blood sausage, which tastes good too..."
Seeing that Kevin was about to start a long speech about the origin, taste and even cooking methods of blood sausage, Su Mu quickly brought the topic back on track: "We'll talk about blood sausage later. You teach Xiao Ye the meditation technique first, and I'll order takeout. During the class, you are the teacher and can talk freely."
"That makes sense." Kevin stopped talking about irrelevant things and started talking about the knowledge points of meditation, very seriously and carefully.
Like the art of breathing, meditation, which is the basis of Western spiritual practice, is actually not complicated.
Kevin had finished explaining all the knowledge points before the takeaway even arrived.
He continued with great interest, "That's basically it for the principles and practice of meditation. How much do you understand? If you have any questions, just tell me and I will answer them one by one."
Su Ye replied: "I understand everything, no problem."
"Oh, I understand everything... Eh? What did you say? I understand everything?"
Kevin stared at Su Ye with wide eyes, a look of disbelief on his face.
But then, Su Ye repeated the knowledge points of meditation, and spoke more systematically than him. It was obvious that he did not memorize them by rote, but really understood and mastered them.
“This…this…”
Kevin opened his mouth wide, looked at Su Ye, and then at Su Mu.
"What kind of monsters are you all in this family?"
You are the monster, I am the cheater!
After Su Mu complained in his heart, he told Su Ye: "Try and see if you can practice it."
After sitting in on Kevin's lecture, he also obtained the meditation technique through a paid plug-in, which was about the same level as the seventh set of national high school students' Qi-nourishing techniques.
Su Ye nodded, sat on the ground, and adjusted his breathing and spirit according to the knowledge points he had learned.
"You are too impatient my friend. A beginner needs half a month to a month to enter a meditative state. Xiao Ye learns the theory so quickly, it shouldn't take that long, but it still takes a week... huh?! This... she has begun to absorb elemental magic? How is it possible! Is she really a beginner?"
Kevin had just said half of his words when he felt the surrounding elemental magic power, or spiritual energy, begin to flow into Su Ye's body.
This situation was beyond his expectations, and he was so shocked that he kept shouting "God", "Maria", "This is impossible" and so on.
Su Mu glanced at him.
Haha, are you scared? My sister is even stronger than me!
But she was exactly as I guessed.
He can only cultivate his mental skills, and cannot learn anything else, whether it is magic, alchemy, or drawing talismans.
No, it shouldn’t be said that she can’t learn it. Her mastery of theoretical knowledge is amazing.
To be precise, she can't learn it.
Why can't she learn it? I don't know and I don't dare to ask. Maybe it has something to do with her illness. When she recovers, will it change?
After waiting for the takeaway to be delivered and having supper, Kevin left yawning and in surprise, while Su Mu sent Xiao Ye back to her room.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Su Mu patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry, not being able to learn spells and talismans should only be temporary, and you will definitely find a solution in the future. You should first concentrate on practicing your mental skills and increase your spiritual energy. This will also help your body... Hey."
Suddenly, the brother and sister were both stunned.
It turned out that when Su Mu patted Xiao Ye's shoulder, static electricity was generated, and then a wisp of spiritual power flowed out of Su Ye's body and penetrated into Su Mu's body.
Can spiritual power be transmitted to different bodies?
This situation is unheard of.
"Xiao Ye, try to release the spiritual power into your hands." Su Mu suddenly had an idea and grabbed his sister's hand and said.
Su Ye did as he was told immediately.
Originally, with her level of cultivation, she couldn't release her spiritual power, but a strange thing happened. This time, when she urged the spiritual power to be released, the spiritual power really came out and drilled into Su Mu's body!
Su Mu did some research and found that although he could not absorb his sister's spiritual power, he could use it.
In addition, his sister's spiritual power does not always exist in his body. It will dissipate in about half an hour.
This is something very interesting.
Is my sister a living power bank of spiritual power? The kind that doesn't need to be plugged in?
When he is short of spiritual power, or needs more spiritual power, can he borrow some from his sister?
Is this the real use of my sister?
Tsk tsk tsk…
