"Everyone, this is my first time giving a lecture. If I don't do well, please forgive me!" Lin Jin said politely. It was just a polite remark but someone said, "Senior Lin, a genius like you managed to reach the fourth realm on your first assessment. You must have some unique skills in your cultivation so how could you not do well? Unless you're just trying to brush us off. "
Something was wrong with this remark.
But upon closer inspection, one would realize that there was a hint of hostility in this remark.
In other words, if he didn't do well, Lin Jin would be living up to his reputation. Or perhaps, he was looking down on them and was just trying to brush them off.
Lin Jin glanced at the person who spoke. Without saying anything, he began his lecture.
The person who spoke earlier stole a glance at Chen Cheng and the latter gave him a look of affirmation.
It was obvious that Chen Cheng had arranged this person as well.
These people Chen Cheng had hired were here to create a ruckus. However, if Lin Jin wanted to nitpick when the lecture started, these people wouldn't be able to do it.
When that happened, Chen Cheng would have to step in personally.
After all, he was on the third realm and ranked fourth among all the disciples. When it came to spellcasting, he had quite a bit of insight. Once he found a loophole, he would go after it relentlessly.
'Oh, Lin Jin, let's see what you're going to talk about. 'Chen Cheng sneered inwardly.
On stage, Lin Jin said, "What I'm going to talk about today is visualization!"
The disciples below the stage were stunned.
Visualization?
Never learned it before.
Of course, some knowledgeable disciples knew that the visualization method was a cultivation method used by cultivators during the Ancient Era of Immortals. At that time, it was very common. But now, not only were there very few people who learned it, but there weren't many proper cultivation methods left.
'Not pet beast knowledge? This Lin Jin is digging his own grave. ' Chen Cheng was overjoyed. He couldn't help but ask, "Lin Jin, are you kidding me? I've read about the visualization technique and I've even tried to cultivate it. To be honest, it's useless. Moreover, there's a copy of this technique in the Spirit Library. Anyone can borrow it. You're giving a public lecture on the visualization technique. Isn't that a little too perfunctory? "
Chen Cheng obviously wouldn't let go of an opportunity to attack the other party.
With Chen Chen taking the lead, a few others immediately chimed in, stirring up the emotions of the disciples.
There was indeed a book on visualization in the Spirit Library, and Chen Chen had indeed studied it. However, the conclusion after studying it was that it was useless.
After all, this was a cultivation technique from the ancient times. Now that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi had dried up and things had changed with the passage of time, there was not even one ancient cultivation technique left. Even if there were some that were left, most of them were incomplete and not suitable for the current blood contract cultivation.
If Chen Cheng hadn't studied this visualization method, he wouldn't have dared to make a fuss on the spot. It was because he had studied it that he was confident.
He had just started his lecture and was already being questioned. This had never happened before. No matter what, he had to show some respect to the lecturer.
Therefore, it was obvious that he was looking for trouble.
However, to give a public lecture, one had to be able to withstand the doubts of others. Otherwise, if one's foundation was not solid, how could one give a lecture? If he couldn't explain himself clearly and was stumped by others, he would definitely become a laughing stock.
Lin Jin recognized Chen Cheng and knew that the man was deliberately making things difficult for him.
However, since Lin Jin dared to go on stage to talk about visualization, he wasn't afraid of anyone making things difficult for him.
"You'll know if I'm just being perfunctory or not after my lecture. The visualization method I'm going to talk about today is extremely beneficial for blood contract cultivation. It can also increase one's realm, expand one's veins, and increase one's spirit energy!"
Chen Cheng grew even more skeptical after hearing Lin Jin's words.
It was just a visualization method, yet he claimed that it could expand one's spirit energy and increase one's spirit energy. Was Lin Jin still dreaming?
At most, it was just a method to calm one's mind.
If there really was a method that could increase one's blood contract realm, expand one's veins, and increase one's spirit energy, would Lin Jin be so kind as to share it in public?
Chen Cheng was already convinced that Lin Jin was just spouting nonsense.
"That sounds nice, but I don't believe you. Forget about whether you have such a method or not, even if you did, why would you be so kind as to share it in public? Don't tell me you're just putting on a show. I won't say anything else. Let's all listen carefully and listen to your visualization method. But to be honest, I'm not interested in this method at all. I'm sure today's lecture will be boring and boring! " Chen Cheng was waiting for Lin Jin to make a fool of himself. If Lin Jin's lecture didn't make sense, he would immediately question Lin Jin and embarrass him.
After Chen Cheng said that, a few people immediately chimed in.
"That's right. If his lecture doesn't make sense, we won't listen to it anymore. Let's go!"
Yang Jie glanced at Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng's attitude towards Lin Jin was in line with his interests.
Yang Jie had wanted to question Lin Jin as well.
According to Lin Jin, cultivation methods that could aid in basic cultivation and increase one's realm were all 'secret techniques' that could only be obtained by chance. They could only be learned with the guidance of a famous teacher.
They were priceless treasures.
Yang Jie had lectured dozens of times in the past. To be honest, all he talked about were minor techniques and his understanding of cultivation.
Of course, he had never talked about the real stuff.
It wasn't that Yang Jie didn't have it, but he couldn't possibly talk about it.
Hence, when he heard that Lin Jin wanted to talk about the real stuff, Yang Jie's first reaction was discomfort. If Lin Jin talked about the real stuff, where would he be?
Wouldn't that mean that he, Yang Jie, had been doing it half-heartedly?
Yang Jie already disliked Lin Jin to begin with. Now, his disgust grew. Moreover, he didn't believe that Lin Jin would talk about it.
At that moment, Lin Jin had already begun.
"The visualization method begins with enlightenment. In the beginning, observe first, think later. Then, think first, observe later …"
Lin Jin was talking about the Museum of Deadly Beasts' summary of the visualization method. Lin Jin had never seen the Friar Association's Spirit Library before so he didn't know that what he was talking about now was on a completely different level compared to the one in the Spirit Library.
The visualization method in the Spirit Library was incomplete, and what he was talking about was the orthodox cultivation method of the ancient Path of Immortals.
Anyone with the slightest bit of knowledge would be able to tell the difference between good and bad.
Below the stage, the eyes of an assistant teacher who came to listen in lit up at this moment. His sleepy eyes immediately became sharp.
"This mantra … Amazing. Interesting …"
The assistant lecturer quickly searched for a pen and paper, wanting to jot it down. However, he realized that he had a habit of not bringing a pen and paper when he came to listen in. Left with no choice, he could only focus on listening.
Of course, not everyone could tell the difference between good and bad. Many disciples either weren't paying attention or couldn't understand the value behind it.
There were also some disciples who were diligent and had proper attitudes. No matter who was lecturing, they would listen attentively and jot down the content.
'Xue Bao'er was one of them.
Especially since she admired and respected Lin Jin to begin with, she was the one who listened most attentively.
Chen Cheng was dumbfounded.
"What is he talking about?"
As he had read the Spirit Library's visualization method, he assumed that Lin Jin was talking about the same book. But once he started, he was dumbfounded.
It wasn't the same thing at all.
By the time Chen Cheng snapped out of it, Lin Jin was already halfway through. Only then did Chen Cheng realize how extraordinary this mantra was.
Being able to rank fourth among the disciples meant that he was quite capable. After pondering it for a while, his heart skipped a beat. Without realizing it, he began to immerse himself in it and even started visualizing according to the mantra.
As for what he said earlier about how he wasn't interested in this visualization method, he tossed that thought to the back of his mind.
Not to mention Chen Chen, even Yang Jie was dumbfounded.
Lin Jin's mantra was truly 'authentic'. With Yang Jie's superb memory, he memorized the mantra and tried to understand it. Soon, he knew that this mantra could help him improve his cultivation.
Suddenly, Yang Jie's expression turned odd.
The introductory mantra of the visualization method wasn't anything valuable. To Lin Jin, the true value of this visualization method was something he didn't talk about.
In the visualization method, external imagery was the basic mantra. The true core was the 'inner mind'. That was the crux.
Of course, Lin Jin wouldn't reveal the crux in a public lecture like this.
Even if it was external imagery, Lin Jin would only recite the first part of the mantra. He wouldn't talk about the remaining five parts.
Lin Jin finished the introductory mantra with thirty-two mantras.
Right after that, he started on the first part of 'external imagery'.
There were a total of fifty-six mantras.
"The sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, plants, birds, and beasts can all be visualized. …"
By now, the crowd was dead silent. Everyone was listening attentively while more people began to record the mantra. After all, not everyone could enter a meditative state and follow Lin Jin's mantra.
Memorizing it and slowly studying it when they got back was the safest way to go.
Lin Jin recited slowly, his voice loud and clear. However, the mantra wasn't long to begin with so it didn't take long for him to finish reciting.
The crowd was silent. No one made a sound.
Lin Jin looked at the crowd again. They were either meditating with their eyes closed or with their heads lowered.
Lin Jin smiled and turned to Chen Cheng.
The latter had his eyes closed and was engrossed in his meditation. He was even mumbling something under his breath. If one listened closely, they could tell that he was reciting the mantra Lin Jin had just taught him.
"Chen Cheng, how was my lecture?"
Lin Jin asked, interrupting the man's cultivation.
Chen Cheng's public provocation clearly didn't bear good intentions so Lin Jin wasn't going to hold back.
Chen Cheng was in the middle of a crucial point in his meditation when Lin Jin interrupted him, causing him to forget a few mantras. He couldn't help but feel annoyed. But when he came back to his senses, he realized that many people were looking at him.
Chen Cheng's face reddened.
He had just said that he wasn't interested in or looking forward to Lin Jin's lecture at all. Yet, he suddenly immersed himself in cultivation. This slap to the face was so embarrassing that even he felt embarrassed.
Lin Jin had no intention of letting him off the hook.
"Chen Chen, speak. Don't you think what I've said is boring?" Lin Jin's expression darkened. When Chen Cheng and the others made things difficult for him earlier, he didn't act up because the time wasn't right. Now that he was going to recite the mantra, it was the perfect time to retaliate.
