【Black Night Spirit Fox: A mountain spirit beast, juvenile, female.】
【Extremely fast, with sharp claws capable of crushing stone and splitting gold.】
【Legend has it that the Night Spirit Fox loves to eat fish, but is born with an aversion to water, and can only sigh longingly at the sight of fish.】
【This little beast is undergoing a strange transformation; it may change drastically after it awakens.】
After using his special ability to check on Xiao Li's current condition and finding that there was nothing wrong, Lu Qing felt relieved.
He sat to the side, waiting for Xiao Li to wake up, while activating his supernatural abilities and silently continuing to learn the legacy left by the Divine Talisman Sect.
The first step in the cultivation of runes is called calming the mind and purifying the heart.
Through specific breathing and meditation techniques, one can refine their mind to a relaxed and serene state.
In this state, it becomes easier to observe the textures and essence of all things in the world, triggering inspiration and finding that touch of the soul, thus comprehending the mysteries of the textures of all things.
This single step is not easy for many people to do.
Most people in the world are restless and their minds are hard to be pure.
The saying "the mind is like a monkey and the will is like a horse" refers to the fact that a person's thoughts are the hardest to control. If one is not careful, distracting thoughts will arise, and one will become restless and agitated.
People who are born with pure hearts and can easily control their own minds are few and far between.
Therefore, the very first step of this rune technique—calming the mind and purifying the heart—is enough to stump countless people.
Of course, for Lu Qing, calming his mind and purifying his heart was not difficult.
After the battle at Happy Village, he had already tempered his mind and strengthened his resolve to pursue martial arts.
Moreover, he also possesses supernatural abilities.
When he activates his supernatural learning state, he will be in a state similar to enlightenment. Achieving a state of mental clarity is not easy.
Therefore, he was able to easily achieve the first step in rune cultivation: calming his mind and purifying his heart.
After successfully calming the mind and purifying the heart, the second step is to choose something and observe it.
Observe its growth patterns, the formation of patterns, and then compare them with the runes recorded in the heritage to find commonalities and comprehend the runes.
The tradition suggests that beginners in the path of runes should choose simple objects to observe, such as ordinary grass, stone, and wood.
This makes it easier to understand and verify the runes, and gain insights.
Lu Qing looked around. Inside the cave, the ground and walls had been jadeified, and there wasn't a single piece of debris, let alone any stones or soil.
Xiao Li didn't know when he woke up, and he couldn't very well run outside the cave now.
So after thinking for a moment, he took out a piece of silver from the money pouch on his waist.
Anyway, silver is an ordinary item, not much different from grass and stones, so it shouldn't be difficult to observe.
Holding the broken silver in his hand, Lu Qing examined it carefully.
This piece of silver was taken from the box of silver that Magu sent. It was genuine snowflake silver, with a very high purity, and the snowflake pattern on it was quite beautiful.
Lu Qing had never examined a piece of silver so closely before.
In a state of mental clarity and tranquility, he observed the silver piece according to the mental techniques passed down in the Divine Talisman Sect, and indeed felt a difference from usual.
The silver coin seemed magnified in his eyes, and he noticed some unusual patterns.
These patterns seem vaguely familiar.
He thought about it and realized that some of the runes recorded in the Divine Rune Sect's heritage seemed to have a slight similarity to them.
"So that's how it is. This is the verification rune."
Lu Qing remained calm, yet a sense of realization arose in his mind.
Among the legacies left by the Divine Talisman Sect is a general outline.
It contains three hundred runes, divided into five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, with sixty runes in each element.
The patterns on this piece of silver all bear a resemblance to those in the gold-based runes.
If Lu Qing can understand these similarities, he will be able to communicate with the patterns on the silver using the gold-type runes.
At that time, even a piece of silver, in his hands, could become a terrifying weapon, unleashing terrifying power.
Of course, to reach that level, one would need a very high level of attainment, perhaps even reaching the level of a mysterious being who could open up a jade-transformed cave.
Don't count on Lu Qing now.
However, this insight also made Lu Qing finally understand the essence of cultivating the rune path.
So this is what it means to observe the patterns of all things in the world and to communicate with them.
With such gains, Lu Qing became even more interested in rune cultivation.
He held the loose silver in his hand and continued to observe.
He continuously compared the strange patterns on the surface with the runes on the general outline in his mind, trying to find the connection between them.
Time passed slowly, and Lu Qing immersed himself in the unique cultivation of runes.
Inside the cave, there was a special light that seemed to shine forever, making it impossible to perceive any changes in the outside world.
He didn't know how much time had passed when a slight noise nearby startled Lu Qing from his meditation.
"Xiao Li, you're awake?"
Lu Qing stopped cultivating and looked at Xiao Li, who was comfortably stretching.
Upon seeing this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Li's appearance seemed unchanged; she remained the same size.
However, the flame-like black fur on its body became even more intense.
Its aura has also become much more ethereal, giving people a completely different feeling.
Lu Qing immediately focused his attention on the small black beast.
A rich red light, tinged with gold, emerged from Xiao Li's body.
【Black Night Spirit Fox: A mountain spirit beast, juvenile, female.】
【Extremely fast, with sharp claws capable of shattering stone, splitting gold, and cutting through anything.】
【Possesses a unique ability: its fur can distort light, allowing it to blend into the darkness.】
【Legend has it that the Night Spirit Fox loves to eat fish, but is born with an aversion to water, and can only sigh longingly at the sight of fish.】
gold?!
Lu Qing was somewhat surprised to see the supernatural light appearing on Xiao Li.
You should know that in the past, although Xiao Li was a spirit beast, because she was a juvenile, the light of her supernatural power was only a faint red light.
He was slightly inferior to the chief steward of the Wei family.
Unexpectedly, after consuming a few drops of Earth Vein Elixir, he broke through his limit and actually reached the golden level.
The note also indicates that it has an additional talent skill.
This earth vein essence truly lives up to its reputation as a rare treasure capable of improving one's aptitude.
Lu Qing sighed sincerely, and at the same time couldn't help but look forward to what kind of changes would occur after he consumed the Earth Vein Elixir.
"Xiao Li, how are you feeling now? Have you noticed any changes in your body?" Lu Qing asked expectantly.
He wanted to see what Xiao Li's newly acquired talent skill was like.
"Huh?"
Xiao Li tilted her head in confusion at first, then thought for a moment, seemingly sensing something.
The next moment, a strange scene appeared before Lu Qing.
The light around Xiao Li suddenly distorted.
Then, Xiao Li suddenly disappeared from his sight.
