30: Chapter 30 Sitting ditation Level 2 30: Chapter 30 Sitting ditation Level 2 Previously, having ditated under the repeated threats of death by the Mountain God, Lin Xing’s spirit and will had already been tempered to beco incredibly strong.
Even if he were about to be engulfed in a sea of flas right now, with soldiers prowling around like wolves and tigers, he could still maintain his ditative state and practice little by little.
After all, compared to being tortured and killed by the Mountain God, being killed by these soldiers was far too easy for Lin Xing.
And in his perception, his ditation skill slowly grew with his practice.
ditation (Level 1 0.1%)
Soon after, two soldiers discovered Lin Xing in the courtyard; one of them drew his sword and approached.
“Hey, is there still soone sitting here?”
With a swoosh, as the long sword pierced Lin Xing’s chest, he collapsed into a pool of blood once again.
According to Bai Yiyi, ditation was a slow-grinding skill, typically practiced by monks and Taoists in temples, and the improvent often took years.
Lin Xing felt the sa while practicing.
The effects of ditation were not as imdiately apparent as other martial skills, and it took much longer, seeming not as cost-effective as practicing physical combat skills.
If it were not for the purpose of comprehending the Daoist Child’s inheritance, he probably would not have chosen to practice ditation voluntarily.
Fortunately, he was able to practice ditation by going through life-and-death battles, repeatedly reversing ti.
Right now, through being killed repeatedly by the soldiers, Lin Xing could sense that his progress in ditation was steadily increasing.
And thanks to the effects of reaching the first level of ditation, he could even quantify this progress with precision using numbers.
ditation (Level 1 11.8%)
ditation (Level 1 26.3%)
ditation (Level 1 33.7%)
As his progress in ditation continued to rise, Lin Xing felt, with each breath, his thoughts spreading throughout his entire body, gaining increasingly comprehensive control over his physical form.
However, this ti it obviously took longer than when he reached the first level of ditation before the Mountain God.
Although there was no physical wear on Lin Xing’s body, the sense of ntal exhaustion grew heavier, and the pace of progress seed to slow down.
Finally, after countless reversals of ti and feeling utterly exhausted, a hint of a smile appeared on Lin Xing’s face.
He sensed a ray of light in his mind that symbolized ditation.
ditation (Level 2 0%)
“I have finally mastered it.”
At the sa mont ditation reached the second level, Lin Xing felt his thoughts spreading to every corner of his body with each breath.
At the sa ti, he gained a deeper insight into the quality of his physical body.
The most obvious aspects for him seed to be strength, speed, and stamina.
At this mont, he could clearly sense where he stood in these three aspects.
Lin Xing thought to himself, “This could also be quantified in numbers, right?
The more detailed, the better.”
“Then…”
His mind recalled the first opponent he had defeated after arriving in the Mirror World, which he had always used as a standard to asure combat strength.
This standard had always been useful, thus becoming his usual tool for quantifying the combat abilities of others and himself.
“Then let’s take Old Man Chai Dao’s strength, speed, and stamina as 1.”
As Lin Xing’s thoughts solidified, the abstract sensations gradually transford into concrete numbers.
Thus, in his perception, apart from the original skill progress, there were now additional numbers that gave insights into his physical body.
Strength: 2.6 tis Old Man Chai Dao
Speed: 1.8 tis Old Man Chai Dao
Stamina: 2.5 tis Old Man Chai Dao
Scythe Technique (Level 1 2%)
Taiqing Long Fist (Level 2 0%)
ditation (Level 2 0%)
Talisman (Level 1 0%)
“With the improvent of my ditation skills, my control over my physical body has beco more and more incredible, allowing to clearly grasp every bit of refinent of the physical body.”
“Now that the requirents for the fist technique, ditation, and talisman have all been t, am I now able to comprehend the Daoist Child’s inheritance?”
Simultaneously, as all the requirents for the Daoist Child’s inheritance were t, another wave of mories began to awake in Lin Xing’s mind.
“Is this the way to comprehend the Daoist Child?”
“Why do I rember all these things?”
Lin Xing murmured as he felt the surging mories in his mind, “I feel that if I keep training, I can awaken more and more mories until I finally understand what all this is about.”
At that mont, Lin Xing suddenly beca eager for stronger skills and higher legacies, unable to wait to revive more mories and find out what was really going on.
Bai Yiyi said incredulously at his side, “Is there really such a thing?
Could it be related to your ti reversal?”
Lin Xing shook his head and said, “I don’t know, but as long as I keep improving, there must co a day when I’ll know.”
Thinking of this, Lin Xing wanted to first try to comprehend the Daoist Child inheritance.
But just as he thought about it, the ntal exhaustion made it increasingly difficult for Lin Xing to keep going.
“Never mind, this ditation between life and death is like doing what takes ordinary people many years of hard work.”
“This diligence is already rare in the world, continuing like this, I might go mad.”
Bai Yiyi exclaid, “How many tis did you reverse ti just now?
It has been that long?”
Lin Xing casually said, “At least a few months in ti, but ditating between life and death is more effective than ditating on a bed, possibly equivalent to several years of bed ditation.”
Thinking of this, he sighed, “Perhaps to those of you without the ability to reverse ti, each of my improvents seems instant, progressing rapidly in a short ti, as if I’m cheating.”
“But in fact, each of my advancents, my current strength gains, are all grounded, relying on my own bit by bit effort, dying over and over.”
“And the best thing I can rely on to increase more strength and revive more mories in the future is still to honestly die over and over.”
Yiyi thought to herself, “No wonder there is such a big change, dying over and over, for such a long ti…
I wonder if people really can stay sane doing this?”
anwhile, Lin Xing stood up, walked to the door of the firewood room, planning to try to open the portal using the Secret Technique.
He used scissors to cut his finger and dripped a few drops of blood on the door fra.
Then he put his hands together and chanted, “When two heavens et, show my true self, open the gate of immortals, and let the five qi surge.”
As he finished chanting the spell, Lin Xing pressed his palm on the door, continuing to chant the spell.
As the spell was chanted over and over, a familiar feeling gradually emanated from the door in front of him.
By the tenth repetition of the chant, the door suddenly loosened, and with one step forward, Lin Xing found himself back in the hospital room.
Lin Xing happily said, “Am I back?”
The cat doll also exclaid, “The Secret Technique is real, but it can only be opened from the Mirror World and not from our side.”
Back in the hospital room, Lin Xing lay on the bed, and based on his experience, Wei Zhi should soon co to check on his condition.
But after waiting a long ti and not seeing Wei Zhi, Lin Xing suddenly realized, “Right, Captain Wei said he was going out for a while—is no one looking after now?”
Thinking this, the worn-out Lin Xing unconsciously fell asleep.
The next morning, as soon as Lin Xing got out of bed, he felt the portal opening again.
He changed into clothes, slung on his backpack, and with one step, disappeared from the hospital room again.
…
What now appeared in front of Lin Xing was a narrow, muddy street.
He turned around and saw that he had co out of an abandoned old house.
Continuing along the narrow street for more than ten ters, the view suddenly opened up, revealing a much busier main road in front of Lin Xing.
On both sides of the road were rows of uneven wooden houses, seemingly containing tea houses, pubs, pharmacies, and various other shops from a distance.
Although the street was not crowded, and one could occasionally sll a stench in the air, this place still appeared much more prosperous compared to Jiang Family Village.
The only strange thing was that there were hardly any young won to be seen on the entire street.
Lin Xing looked at the scene in front of him, puzzled, “I… had clearly left from Jiang Family Village previously, how did I end up here this ti?”
Yiyi said, “When we left, Jiang Family Village had been burned down.
Could it be that there was no gate left there, so you were sent to the nearest place?”
Lin Xing said, “Ah?
Then where is this place?”
Lin Xing was dressed in a white T-shirt and long pants, which, although still sowhat different from the attire of the passersby, would not stand out as much as his previous hospital clothes.
He also specifically stuffed his cat doll into his backpack to avoid attracting attention.
Next, he walked around the muddy street asking people for information.
Few responded, but it was still much better than when he was in the isolated Jiang Family Village.
After about half an hour, Lin Xing finally learned that this was Taiping County town, the largest county town in Dongya Prefecture, with Jiang Family Village located to the south of the town.
Yiyi exclaid, “So this is Dongya Prefecture?”
“What are you, this is Lin Xing voiture then?”
Yiyi said, “That’s at least a few thousand miles away.”
Just then, a procession paraded through the street, with people’s heads displayed on the lead cart, drawing whispers from the onlookers.
Seeing the familiar heads, Lin Xing thought darkly, “Is that… the village chief?
And the villagers from Jiang Family Village?”
