There must be something wrong with me
Chapter 503 - 198: The ‘Heavenly Dao Talisman’ of Swallowing a Golden Core
’Why are you looking for me?’
Zhang Feng didn’t want to directly drive her away.
Seeing the dust all over her scales, he knew she had a hard journey, and didn’t even have time to clean herself.
However.
Just as Zhang Feng was observing her scales, she hastily used Water Attribute Spiritual Qi to clean herself and felt a bit embarrassed.
First, she felt like a muddy monkey earlier, thinking Zhang Feng might dislike her.
Second, ’bathing’ in front of a strange man, even with different species, still made her feel shy.
Zhang Feng didn’t think too much about it, nor did he mind. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Yet, seeing her exhausted Spiritual Qi and still persisting to bathe.
Zhang Feng found her quite amusing, so he used magic to gather some soil from the ground and instantly turned it into a basin.
The next second, surrounding water gathered, forming an acceptable ’water tank.’
It was quite similar in shape to a washbasin.
’Come in.’
Zhang Feng placed the water tank on the ground.
She appeared a bit bashful, using her fins to gesture back and forth.
She felt very touched, even thinking this was a ’warm home’ given by the Taoist priest.
A ’token of affection.’
Such a scene made her understand what romance meant in human feelings.
But as more and more people gathered around to watch, she knew, even as a fish, what modesty a woman should have.
Zhang Feng, however, didn’t understand fish language at all, nor realized she could misinterpret it like that. Instead, he directly lifted her up with spiritual energy and placed her in the basin, rising tens of meters into the sky amidst the villagers’ exclamations, heading straight to the distant forest.
The little carp ’lovingly’ gazed at Zhang Feng from within the basin.
About a minute.
Twenty miles away from the village.
Zhang Feng arrived at a lakeside,
’The nearby demon beasts have long been cleared by me, you can cultivate here.
Deep in the lake, there is a spiritual technique manual I inscribed, it’s a Spiritual Consciousness Array teaching.
I wish you success in your cultivation soon.’
This manual, Zhang Feng originally intended it to be like the great Buddha at the bottom of the sea, ’only those destined will know.’
But now there’s a spiritual little fish, she could benefit from it.
After finishing all this.
Zhang Feng left directly.
He had raised demon creatures before, plus there was a lot from the virtual world’s neurology and so on.
So there’s no need to waste more energy raising demons.
In Zhang Feng’s plan, the effort and reward were disproportionate.
...
A year passed in the blink of an eye.
The outside world hadn’t changed much.
But every morning, in the small village here, there was a group of people sitting cross-legged in meditation.
And ahead of them.
Zhang Feng sat cross-legged on a large green stone, gazing at the newborn sun, inhaling and exhaling spiritual power as if absorbing ’Sunrise Purple Qi.’
In reality, Zhang Feng hadn’t reached such a ’spiritual perfection’ realm and couldn’t directly swallow the essence of the sun and moon yet.
Especially since there wasn’t any ’Purple Qi’ in this world.
As for what Purple Qi was, Zhang Feng couldn’t say for sure now, but it must be considered a more advanced spiritual qi.
After all, not being able to see it now, it must be higher.
A simple process of elimination figured it out.
And in this year.
Zhang Feng was ensuring a steady improvement in his power, practicing, meditating, teaching disciples, and daydreaming every day.
That’s how he relaxed his Heart Demons.
Put simply, he stopped learning, nor did he sort out the knowledge gained from the superconductor world.
The process of dismantling and analyzing it, mastering it thoroughly, and integrating it into magic—those complex problem-solving procedures required too much thought, far beyond normal cultivation.
Now practicing nearly ten systems together, his Heart Demon only grew by 0.01% daily.
But if dismantling knowledge, it would be 0.1% daily.
Faced with large calculations like his previous flight and spiritual sense talismans.
Those large frameworks and big issues, it could reach 0.5% daily.
But as long as he stopped learning, the daily reduction of Heart Demons was at 0.02% rate.
Under normal circumstances, just tough it out for ten thousand days, roughly equivalent to thirty years.
Then the Heart Demon would naturally fall to 0%.
No need for deliberate enlightenment.
This is what Zhang Feng realized from multiple enlightenments, the ’Visualization Insight Effect.’
It completely ’copied’ the ’natural feel’ of Heart Demon enlightenment.
So that every day, he was in constant small enlightenment, continuously reducing Heart Demons daily.
But such replication couldn’t match natural insights in effectiveness, which was unavoidable.
Because these natural laws, as Zhang Feng thought, probably belonged to a special targeted rule treatment.
Meaning targeted accuracy and effectiveness.
However, Zhang Feng also knew he still didn’t know enough, otherwise, he should be able to analyze these simple Heart Demon insights.
As long as it could be analyzed.
He would basically enter a state without Heart Demons.
Zhang Feng was confident because he could already apply it in practice, proving the insights could be analyzed and belonged to a relatively low-level rule system.
After all, although it was an external force for natural insight, the final change was self-induced.
Therefore it made sense.
Just like taking poison harms the body, but if he first made himself look harmed by the poison, he could simulate the effects of the poison.
As long as it acts on oneself, there must be a solution.
Except for text and literary items, which are entirely ’external device’ structures.
Although it ultimately still acts on oneself, it cannot be simulated.
Zhang Feng felt this was to prevent ’cheating.’
...
Another year passed in the blink of an eye.
The news of Zhang Feng teaching disciples in the village spread by someone.
This made even the nearby village hear the rumors here.
