Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1193 - 1189: Cultivation Secrets

Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi leaned on the sofa, watching the three little ones rolling on the carpet laughing, with gentle smiles on their faces.

"See, I told you she could do it," Ruan Hongzhuang said softly.

Taozi nodded, smiling, "You thought it through better than I did. I was too impatient. Seeing her this happy now, it’s really nice."

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, her face fell, and she collapsed onto the sofa like a deflated balloon.

Seeing this, Ruan Hongzhuang couldn’t help but laugh, "What’s the matter? You were fine just now, why did you suddenly wilt?"

"What else could it be."

Taozi weakly waved her hand, "Isn’t it about that telekinesis? I’ve been practicing at home every day for days, nearly going cross-eyed, and I can’t even make the paper move. I’m starting to wonder if I’m just not cut out for this cultivation stuff."

As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to remember something, sat up straight in shock, and looked at Ruan Hongzhuang with wide eyes, "You wouldn’t have... already moved the paper, would you?"

Ruan Hongzhuang was amused by her exaggerated expression and rolled her eyes, "What kind of expression is that? Can’t I learn it too?"

"Oh no, oh no."

Taozi immediately clutched her chest, looking utterly defeated.

"Your success is more upsetting than my failure. So I’m the only one who is dumb and can’t learn it, right?"

"You, what nonsense are you thinking about all day?"

Ruan Hongzhuang lightly knocked her on the head in exasperation.

"I haven’t made much progress either, not much different from you. I’ve been practicing for several days without any movement. Let’s go ask Si Yuan together, maybe we’re doing something wrong."

Hearing this, Taozi immediately perked up, bouncing off the sofa, "Let’s go, let’s go, I’ve wanted to ask him for a long time but was afraid he might laugh at me for being dumb..."

Ruan Hongzhuang shook her head with a smile, stood up, and led the way towards the balcony, with Taozi scurrying happily behind her.

The afternoon sunlight was perfect, spilling onto the balcony and filling the space with warmth.

On the wicker lounge chair on the balcony, Shen Siyuan lay half-eyes closed, covered with a thin cashmere blanket. A cup of freshly brewed hot tea sat on the small tea table next to him, steam rising slowly, mixing with the fresh scent of nearby greenery, calm and leisurely.

The aura around him was peaceful, his Sea of Consciousness faintly resonating with the surrounding Primordial Magnetic Power, seemingly resting with eyes closed but actually attuned to every movement in the house.

"Oh, our Immortal Shen knows how to enjoy himself, hiding here for some peace and quiet,"

Ruan Hongzhuang said smiling as she walked over. Without any politeness, she plopped down on his lap, wrapping an arm around his neck.

Shen Siyuan opened his eyes, steadied her by holding her waist, and prevented her from falling, a faint smile tugging at his lips, "What? The three little ones in the living room too much for you, so you’ve come to hide with me?"

"Not at all,"

Ruan Hongzhuang shook her head, lowered her head, and lightly bit his chin.

Taozi stood by, looking around. The lounge chair was taken by Ruan Hongzhuang, the adjacent chair was a bit far away, and for the moment, she couldn’t find a suitable spot to sit, leaving her standing awkwardly and looking around.

Just then, a warm hand reached out, gently wrapped around her waist, and playfully gave a light pat on her perky bottom.

"Why are you standing? Come sit," Shen Siyuan lightly pulled her over, letting her sit on the edge of the lounge chair.

Taozi’s cheeks instantly turned red. She lightly punched him, but didn’t avoid it, obediently sitting next to him.

"So, why are you both here looking for me? What’s up?" Shen Siyuan’s gaze swept over their faces and he asked leisurely.

"We wanted to ask you how to project consciousness outwards to move small pieces of paper?"

Ruan Hongzhuang spoke up first, a hint of helplessness in her voice, "We’ve practiced for several days with no progress and our eyes are getting strained from staring so much, but the paper hasn’t moved an inch."

"Oh, that,"

Shen Siyuan smiled slightly, speaking in a calm tone, "It’s actually very simple. You need to feel it with your heart. Once you truly feel it, success comes naturally."

"What you’re saying is as good as saying nothing," Taozi immediately grumbled in dissatisfaction, pouting so much that you could hang an oil can from her lips, "I’ve been trying to feel it with my heart for days—thinking about it when eating, sleeping, even dreaming about how to move the paper, but I got nothing..."

As she said this, she leaned even closer to Shen Siyuan, practically leaning against his arm, looking very aggrieved.

"The more you rush for success, the more elusive it becomes. Your mindset was wrong from the start."

Shen Siyuan reached out and gently ruffled her hair, his tone much more patient, "Don’t force yourself to practice, and don’t constantly think about making the paper move. First, relax, close your eyes, and feel the world with your heart— feel the wind’s flow, the dust in the air, your own breath, and the power within you. When you truly calm down and merge with your surroundings, the paper will naturally move along with your intent..."

This time, he didn’t speak in vague generalities, but broke down the essence of practice step by step, explaining it to them word by word.

After he finished speaking, Taozi blinked and curiously asked, "So did you learn this way slowly too?"

Shen Siyuan raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a casual nonchalance, "No, I got it right away."

"..." Taozi was instantly speechless, playfully punching him lightly on the arm, "I know you’re great, are you teasing me on purpose?"

Ruan Hongzhuang also couldn’t stop laughing, reaching out and pinching Shen Siyuan’s cheek, "Stop teasing her, she’s been upset about this for days."

After the laughter, Ruan Hongzhuang composed herself and asked, "Besides calming down and feeling, is there any more direct way? The two of us really can’t find the way."

These days, even though she needed to handle affairs at the company every day, she squeezed out free time and tried numerous times, but still couldn’t grasp the feeling of releasing her consciousness, with no progress at all.

Hearing this, Shen Siyuan pondered for a moment and then opened his mouth and exhaled.

A glowing light flew from his mouth, and a palm-sized, shimmering miniature Divine Sword gradually appeared among the three of them.

The sword body shone with interweaving light, exactly a miniature form of the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword.

The air around the sword slightly distorted, and a gentle yet majestic Primordial Magnetic Power slowly spread out.

Almost at the same time, Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi felt their foreheads tighten suddenly. The Primordial Magnetic imprint Shen Siyuan left at their brows was instantly drawn, and a familiar tingling sensation spread from their brows throughout their entire bodies along their meridians.

In that moment, they finally clearly perceived that elusive Primordial Magnetic Power.

It was everywhere, filling the air, flowing through their meridians, subtly connected to their Divine Souls, no longer that intangible, unreachable feel.

"Close your eyes, calm your mind, and remember this feeling."

Shen Siyuan’s voice sounded in their ears, carrying a calming strength.

The two women immediately followed suit, closing their eyes and focusing entirely on sensing the Primordial Magnetic Power within and around them, deeply engraving this clear touch into their minds.

Once their breathing gradually steadied and they completely memorized this feeling, Shen Siyuan, with a single thought, caused the floating miniature Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword to dissipate silently into the air like a bubble.

The pulling sensation at their brows gradually faded, but the perception of the Primordial Magnetic Power remained in their awareness.

The two women slowly opened their eyes, both with newfound clarity in their eyes, and much of their previous confusion and perplexity had dissolved.

"Actually, there is an even simpler way."

Shen Siyuan looked at them, suddenly changed the topic, and a mischievous smile appeared on his lips.

"What way?" Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi asked almost in unison, eyes full of curiosity.

Shen Siyuan pointed at his lips, smiling slyly, "Want to know? Give me a kiss, and I’ll tell you."

"Tch, so unserious."

Taozi made a face of disdain, but her body was honest, bending down first, supporting herself on Shen Siyuan’s shoulders, lowering her head to gently kiss his lips, the soft touch fleeting.

After kissing, she raised her eyebrows, looking at Ruan Hongzhuang with a hint of provocation in her eyes.

Ruan Hongzhuang refused to be outdone, wrapping her arms around Shen Siyuan’s neck, bending down for a lingering deep kiss with him.

Until both were slightly breathless, she straightened up, her cheeks slightly blushing, but her gaze was somewhat triumphant.

"So, can you tell us now?" Ruan Hongzhuang gently pinched Shen Siyuan’s cheeks.

Taozi cozily snuggled closer, deliberately sniffing at Ruan Hongzhuang’s face, mischievously asking, "How about it? Do I have my scent?"

Ruan Hongzhuang’s cheeks instantly reddened further, reaching out to pinch Taozi’s face, both angry and amused, "You little brat, spouting nonsense all day, I’ll show you."

"Ah, I was wrong." Taozi laughed, hiding behind Shen Siyuan, and the two women playfully bickered beside the lounge chair, until they were both breathless. Finally, they lay obediently on either side of Shen Siyuan, each holding onto one of his arms, looking up at him, waiting for the answer.

Only then did Shen Siyuan slowly speak, revealing the answer, "Actually, the method is very simple. You can find a magnet, place it at your forehead, and use the magnet’s magnetic force to guide your perception of the Primordial Magnetic Power within you, and naturally, you’ll more quickly grasp the feeling of consciousness externalization..."

Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi exchanged a glance, seeing the light of realization in each other’s eyes.
