294 No Progress (3)
Ning Shi thanked her again and left the office.
Seeing that it was still early, there was still an hour before the afternoon class. Ning Shi went to the logistics department first and received three bottles of intermediate biopharmaceutical.
According to the information Ning Shi had read in the AI network library, after consuming the intermediate biopharmaceutical, it could slightly increase one’s spiritual power and increase the effect of meditation technique cultivation.
It was best to take it before cultivating the meditation technique, and immediately cultivate the meditation technique for more than five hours after taking it.
This way, the effect of the intermediate biopharmaceutical could be maximized.
Ning Shi hadn’t chosen a meditation technique yet, so he could only put the potion in his backpack for now.
In the afternoon class, Teacher Lu Zijian introduced the cultivation and application of meditation techniques.
This was because other than Ning Shi, everyone in the class had a foundation in meditation technique cultivation.
Therefore, Lu Zijian’s lecture was very deep. He did not start from the basics.
Ning Shi only had a vague understanding of some of the content, but he could still vaguely guess the cultivation process of the meditation technique.
The first step of cultivating the meditation technique was to completely relax the mind, get rid of all distracting thoughts, and completely empty the mind.
This step was the most difficult for a newbie because there were all kinds of distracting thoughts in one’s mind.
This required repeated practice.
When you can empty your mind at any time, you can enter the second step of cultivation. In the empty state, feel the higher consciousness in your mind and restrain it.
After learning how to control his higher consciousness, he could proceed to the last step of cultivation. He would anchor the meditation coordinates according to the corresponding meditation technique.
He would gather all his willpower within the meditation coordinates and form a willpower core in his mind, also known as the brain nucleus.
The willpower of a brain nucleus was extremely powerful. When multiple brain nuclei gathered together, they could form an even stronger willpower field.
mecha masters used their willpower field to cover the entire mecha, allowing them to control the mecha flexibly.
After listening to the afternoon class, Ning Shi used the account of the Norse Republic Academy to log into the library.
In the library, there were hundreds of meditation techniques, all of which were free for students.
They were all intermediate meditation techniques and below. There was no advanced meditation technique.
Ning Shi did not mind. He casually flipped through a dozen meditation techniques and found that no matter what meditation technique it was, the first step of emptying the mind and the second step of collecting willpower were the same.
It was only after the third step that the steps such as determining the meditation coordinates, condensing the brain nucleus, and forming the willpower field began to be different.
After figuring out the situation, Ning Shi did not delay any longer and was prepared to start cultivating the meditation technique.
There were no classes at night, so Ning Shi returned to his villa dormitory after dinner and began to practice the first step of meditation.
Empty his mind.
Ning Shi found a soft cushion and placed it in the hall. He sat cross-legged on the cushion.
Closing his eyes, he felt the cool night breeze blowing into the hall from the window. The cool breeze brushed his face. His heart should have been as calm as water, but the consciousness in Ning Shi’s mind kept flashing.
He thought of his friends and family on Saturn for a moment, then he thought about what meditation technique to choose. Then he thought about how he still had to fight back against Pang Yuanqing and the others.
His mind was filled with thoughts, schemes, and emotions.
As an adult, after experiencing so many things, it was really difficult to completely empty his mind and not think about anything.
After sitting on the cushion for half an hour, the thoughts in Ning Shi’s mind did not decrease. Instead, they increased.
Only now did he understand what Ye Hongmian meant. The cultivation of the meditation technique was indeed not easy.
In fact, the best time to practice meditation to empty the mind was during childhood.
Nobles and elites would train their children to empty their minds when they were very young.
Children were simple-minded. Once they received training, it was easy for them to empty their minds.
It was just that children’s brains were not mature yet, so the content of meditation cultivation when they were young was limited to emptying the consciousness in the brain. The training of restraining willpower and condensing the brain nucleus could only be started after they were at least 16 years old.
On this point, Ning Shi was mentally older and was indeed at a disadvantage.
He suppressed the anxiety in his heart and cultivated for an entire night according to the training method introduced by the meditation technique.
He thought that as long as he worked hard enough, he could clear his mind, but the reality was cruel.
By 6 am, Ning Shi’s meditation technique had not progressed at all.
The entire night of cultivation seemed to be in vain.
