Chapter 18: Shock (Please ask for branches)
"Today I will first teach you how to cultivate your mental power, and how to draw the formation diagram of the first-level summoning array. After you go back, you can practice the formation diagram of the summoning array with a brush on paper, and try to memorize the drawing method as soon as possible. But remember, you are not allowed to use your mental power to carve the formation diagram without my permission. Do you understand?" Liu Gongsheng said to Nangong Jing very seriously.
"I've got that in mind." Nangong Jing responded obediently.
Liu Gongfeng was even more satisfied. He then took out a transparent stick and handed it to Nangong Jing, saying, "This is the Soul Guide. It's used by summoners to train their mental power when they first start practicing. Once your mental power is stronger, you can train it through meditation. The Soul Guide is also very simple to use. Just like when you test your talent, you just need to input your mental power into it. Keep inputting until you have no mental power left. But don't disconnect from the Soul Guide immediately after you stop. Once your mental power in the Soul Guide turns from white to transparent, you can guide the Soul Guide's mental power back into your body. With these repeated back and forth guidance, your mental power will gradually be purified and strengthened."
Nangong Jing took the soul-guiding stick from Liu Gongfeng's hand and looked at the crystal stick in his hand with some curiosity. He felt that this soul-guiding stick was quite similar to the stick used to test talents.
Nangong Jing followed Liu Gongsheng's instructions and channeled the mental power within his mind into the soul summoning technique. Unlike some summoners who struggled initially, Nangong Jing was able to channel his mental power very easily. After all, he had been a magician in his previous life and had also dabbled with mental power, so he was well aware of how to control it.
This was also a small oversight on Nangong Jing's part. When Liu Gongfeng saw that Nangong Jing successfully channeled his mental power in one go, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
From ancient times to the present, it is rare to succeed in one go. Generally speaking, being able to sense and channel spiritual energy within half a day is considered a genius, and some people even take three or four days to succeed. People like Nangong Jing are extremely rare, if not unprecedented.
Originally, Liu Gongfeng thought that Nangong Jing's ability to sense the mental power at once was already surprising enough to him, but when he saw Nangong Jing continuously injecting mental power into the soul-guiding technique, even though Liu Gongfeng was knowledgeable, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock.
If Liu Gongsheng had not felt the asymmetry between Nangong Jing's soul and body, he would have thought that this was some powerful person who had taken over another person's body and been reborn. This endless supply of mental power did not look like that of Xiaobai who had just awakened his talent. It was probably not much worse than that of a spirit summoner.
Liu Gongfeng suddenly had a hunch that Nangong Jing might become the fastest-growing person in history. You know, a summoner's training is both difficult and simple. As long as you have enough mental strength to draw the corresponding summoning diagram, you can continue to break through without any bottlenecks.
Liu Gongfeng felt that after he returned, he might have to ask to see other priests who were stronger than him. He didn't know how to teach Nangong Jing in this situation.
Because Liu Gongfeng just said that he needed to fully output the mental power in his mind, Nangong Jing completely ignored the powerful mental power he brought back after his rebirth, and kept injecting it into the soul-guiding as if the mental power was free.
Fortunately, when the Soul Summoning Technique was first refined, it could be used directly to summon the Emperor, so even if Nangong Jing's mental strength is stronger than that of ordinary people, there is no need to worry about injecting too much energy and causing an explosion.
After Nangong Jing felt that his mental power had been input almost completely, he did not disconnect from the soul guide. Instead, he opened his eyes and looked at the color of his mental power in the soul guide, waiting for the mental power to become transparent before guiding it back into his own sea of consciousness.
Because Nangong Jing had put in too much mental energy, the color change took a while longer, nearly an hour before it went from pure white to transparent. When the last trace of white disappeared, Nangong Jing's face had turned a little ugly. This soul-calling connection also required mental energy, and Nangong Jing almost couldn't hold on just now.
After his mental power became completely transparent, Nangong Jing immediately directed it back to his sea of consciousness. After guiding his mental power back, Nangong Jing immediately noticed the difference in his mental power. It felt like it had been purified, and it felt deeper, and it also seemed to have increased a little bit.
Nangong Jing compared the training methods of the summoner and magician, and secretly sighed that the summoner's training method was indeed the simplest of the three professions. He didn't need to practice physical training every day, nor did he need to meditate every day to absorb the magical power of heaven and earth like he did in his previous life.
If those summoners who have not been able to comprehend their mental power for several days, or whose mental power grows very slowly and with difficulty, knew what Nangong Jing was thinking now, they would definitely have the urge to kill Nangong Jing. What is the easiest thing? It is obviously the most difficult thing.
It is very difficult to perceive the initial mental power, and using soul-guiding to train mental power is also a painful process, because novices cannot control their own mental power well, or they cannot control the output of mental power, or they cannot bear it and disconnect from the soul-guiding before the mental power is purified.
That is, Nangong Jing felt that cultivating mental power was very simple because of the powerful mental power he brought back after his rebirth. Nangong Jing even always believed so. It was not until a long time later that Nangong Jing realized that he felt that cultivating mental power was so simple because he "cheated".
