Chapter 941: Drug and Meditation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Red Comet crossed half of Flying Rainbow City and stopped in front of a detached villa surrounded by mountains and rivers. It was like a scene out of a fairytale.
“This is… Tulip Gardens? The most expensive villa district in Flying Rainbow City. Only the super rich can afford it…” Fang Yuan took off his helmet. “Teacher, you are really rich!”
“You’ll also be rich after you become a Mystic! Come in!”
The door opened after it scanned Xiao Hongyue’s iris.
The internal structure of the villa was simple. A huge training ground appeared after a short walk in, allowing Fang Yuan to peer into Xiao Hongyue’s madness for cultivation.
“Go and bathe on the second floor, change into training gear, and then enter the nutrition chamber. I’ll do a comprehensive check for you!”
Xiao Hongyue turned solemn, making her more alluring.
“All right!”
He was playing a good student at this time, so Fang Yuan obeyed obediently and took the most luxurious bath in Lin Meng’s memory. He then laid in a nutrition chamber akin to a transparent coffin.
It was a device from a top hospital. Not only did it possess a scanning function, but it could also cure most ailments, such as broken limbs. It cost millions of star dollars to manufacture, and only people like Xiao Hongyue could afford it.
Ding!
Xiao Hongyue’s upper half appeared on the screen. “Lie down and don’t move. I’ll do a check on you and see how you’ve recovered or if there are any injuries left. Don’t be nervous… By the way, you have a good figure!”
Fang Yuan rolled his eyes and let the scanner go to work.
This instrument might be more sophisticated than the one at school, but it was impossible for it to discover the secret of his True Spirit.
…
“Strange. His body is recovering well, and his brain development is also at 30%, totally different from the report previously…” Xiao Hongyue frowned suspiciously
“However, the brain has always been the most mysterious place of all… I have to send him to East Dragon University and ask for the help of an Undead Immortal if I want to understand his situation. Ah, I must be crazy!”
Fang Yuan opened his eyes after his body woke from the slumber. He clambered out from the nutrition chamber, feeling even better than ever.
Xiao Hongyue’s voice came. “Wear your training gear and come see me!”
A neat set of black and white training clothes was in a corner. It seemed similar to karate uniforms from his previous life.
Fang Yuan wore it and went to the training room barefooted.
“Your body is very healthy, and there are no hidden injuries. Your brain development is at 30%, and there is no damage to your life potential…” Xiao Hongyue said calmly like a tireless teacher. “However, this isn’t enough for East Dragon University! Far from it!”
Fang Yuan sat cross-legged in front of Xiao Hongyue and asked quietly, “I already have plans for the other subjects. Teacher, what methods do you have to increase my brain development?”
This was one of the reasons he came!
He could only overclock his brain when he used a Mental Demon True Spirit technique, but it was unable to bring him to his desired 200%!
This was why he wanted to delve into the way the brains developed in this world. It could be complementary and produce unexpected results.
“There are only two ways for a normal person to develop their brains, relying on brain development drugs and meditation! There’s also another chance to improve after being exposed to the Scientific Cultivation Method… But there is one very important point—the higher your brain development, the brighter your future. Only a 100% brain development can solve the bottleneck for Undead Immortal!” Xiao Hongyue said calmly.
“This should be… a secret of the cultivation world? Teacher, why are you exposing it to me?”
Fang Yuan pointed at his nose.
“Because you are very good, and I don’t want you to take the wrong path! Your starting point is too low after all. Your future brain development will not exceed 50% if you continue like this. It will be difficult for you to cross over the threshold of a high-level cultivator!” Xiao Hongyue was also barefooted and cross-legged in her training gear. “Time is too short at this point. Meditation would be of little help to you, so you can only use brain development drugs!”
Xiao Hongyue switched her projection screen on. Three funnel-shaped medicine bottles appeared, containing red, yellow, and purple medications.
“Brain development drug!” Fang Yuan’s eyes glittered.
“Yes… After countless experiments and hundreds of millions of people proving it personally, brain development drugs are the only things that can increase the development of your brain with minimal side effects!” Xiao Hongyue nodded. “There are three versions. Even the lowest-tier brain development drug is worth hundreds of thousands of star dollars, and… there’s a market!”
“I know…” Lin Meng had looked up quite a bit of information about this previously because he was interested. “Also, your body will develop resistance toward this drug immediately after you ingest it. There will be no effect the second time. That means you only have three chances in your lifetime!”
“That’s right!” Xiao Hongyue stretched her hand into the screen and grabbed the funnel with the red medicine. “This is the low-tier stage brain development drug. It’ll improve your development by 0.3% to 3%! Some studies have shown that the effect will be better when you inject it during meditation.”
“What about the mid-tier and high-tier versions?” Fang Yuan looked at the screen, his voice a little hoarse.
“The mid-tier brain development drug’s effect is about 1% to 5%, and the high-tier one is 3% to 9%!” Xiao Hongyue replied.
“In that case, if I’m lucky, I’ll be able to increase by more than 5% by using the low-tier one first and then the mid-tier and high-tier one subsequently? I’ll then be able to reach East Dragon University’s cut-off point?” Fang Yuan asked with feigned excitement.
“Dream on!” Xiao Hongyue rolled his eyes. “I only have this low-tier one. I swallowed the mid-tier drug long ago, and I don’t have the high-tier drug!”
She said in a dignified voice after a pause, “There are only a few of these high-tier brain development drugs, so the price is terrifying. The entire Flying Rainbow City may not be worth that much!”
Brain development would represent the ultimate achievement after the spiritual roots formed.
Many methods, such as meditation and low-tier and mid-tier drugs, would become useless in the cultivator phase.
Therefore, the high-level cultivators who felt their foundation lacking were eager for anything that could help brain development.
The high-tier brain development drug was, without a doubt, the truest representation of this!
Fang Yuan would not be surprised if there were cultivators who would kill for it even in the current lawful society.
“Hu…” Fang Yuan took the funnel and looked at Xiao Hongyue seriously. “I will definitely repay your kindness and the medical bills!”
Do not underestimate the promise of a Demon God. Fang Yuan had secretly decided that he would need at least a high-tier brain development drug in the future to repay her.
“Okay, I’ll wait!”
Xiao Hongyue continued, “I’ll teach you a meditation technique now… This is the foundation of a cultivator. Different meditation techniques have different features, but the more advanced the meditation method, the greater the range of improvement for your development. ‘Six Point Mental Demon’ and ‘Red Dust Meditation’ for example. Many Undead Immortals relied on them to form their spiritual roots and set their foundation before they became cultivators!”
Brain development would become more difficult when they became cultivators. It was prudent to start as early as possible and minimize the cost.
Fang Yuan’s eyes sparked. “Teacher, can you teach me a top-tier meditation technique?”
“No!
“I signed many non-disclosure agreements when I obtained the technique. I can’t teach it… Moreover, you won’t be able to improve that much even with meditation techniques over the next few days… I’m imparting a meditation technique to you to give you an elementary glimpse into them and to increase the efficacy of the drug. Don’t waste it.”
“All right!”
Fang Yuan knew he was asking too much, so he listened carefully.
“The meditation technique I’m about to impart to you is called ‘Forget!’ This is something I found during an expedition! Its effect is comparable to that of a mid-tier meditation technique!”
Xiao Hongyue snapped her fingers. Picture and text explanations appeared on the walls of the room.
There was also plenty of research data below it.
This was using scientific methods to guide cultivation, allowing Mystics to take fewer detours.
“According to my understanding, ‘Forget’ is to try and forget all kinds of trivial matters, calm the brain, and stimulate the pineal gland to improve development. If this meditation technique were complete, it would at least be a high-tier technique!” Xiao Hongyue sighed.
“Of course… there’s a huge risk in cultivating it. You have to be careful not to forget too much and become an idiot.
“Speaking of which… this technique is similar to Red Dust Meditation. Perhaps it came from Zen as well, but Red Dust requires you to cut three thousand troubles and forget emotions. The ‘Forget’ meditation technique, however, is to get rid of miscellaneous thoughts and keep the original intentions. You’ll finally come face-to-face with Buddha…”
Xiao Hongyue was a teacher after all. This meditation technique was explained in great detail and was easy to understand.
Fang Yuan’s eyes widened, but he had long filtered her words. This meditation technique isn’t the style of Zen at all… In fact, it seems to have traces of a foreign world. Could this be something another higher existence left behind? Also… it can complement the incompleteness of the meditation techniques!
Xiao Hongyue thought that this meditation technique might have originated from Zen, so she used the essence of Buddhism to complement it and brought it to a mid-tier technique.
On the other hand, Fang Yuan’s experience was a few planets greater than hers and thus had higher comprehension.
For this meditation technique, the thing that complements it the most for mortals is the Meditative Tea Ceremony!
Of course, this was not the best method, but only this method was suitable for mortals.
Fang Yuan’s eyes shone and started calculating with his True Spirit. Meditate and become one with Dao. Forget all worries and become one with Mother Earth…
