Over the years, many people had been practicing the visualization method, and there were many who chose the Shin Budo Divine Idol for the visualization of the external image.
After all, the incomplete visualization manual in the Spirit Library had introduced how to visualize the Shin Budo statue.
If one was skilled in visualization, they would be able to focus their mind and purify their mind to stabilize their psyche, preventing them from being attacked by bewitching illusions.
Originally, it was good to visualize the Shin Wu Dao Idol, but the problem was that the Shin Wu Dao Idol's realm was too high. There was a saying that went, 'The heart is higher than the sky, life is thinner than paper'. How much strength you have, how much land you plough? You were only average to begin with, but you chose to visualize the Shin Budo statue. This was' overestimating yourself '.
Hence, there were only a handful of people who could successfully visualize it. Most of them could only see the surface of the statue's shadow or expend too much of their psyche. The loss outweighed the gain.
If it were Lin Jin, he wouldn't try to visualize the Shin Budo statue either.
"How far have you progressed?" Lin Jin asked.
"Virtual God realm!" The disciple looked embarrassed.
The visualization realm was divided into four major realms: Meditation, Mental Tranquility, Ethereal Echo, and Transcendence.
Relatively speaking, the first two realms were the easiest to reach. The virtual god the disciple mentioned was Mental Tranquility. If he could reach this realm, it meant that his comprehension and talent were impressive.
Especially when it came to visualizing the Shin Budo statue. It wasn't easy to reach this realm.
But without a doubt, since he was visualizing the Shin Budo statue, reaching Mental Tranquility was his limit. He couldn't go any further.
This was the disciple's problem.
This was a path that was destined to be impossible. Since he had reached Mental Tranquility, it was impossible to break through his previous visualization and start all over again.
It was indeed troublesome.
However, there was a similar solution in the Museum of Deadly Beasts. After a moment of thought, Lin Jin asked, "Do you know what the Shin Budo statue wields?"
The knowledgeable disciple nodded. "I do. The Shin Budo statue has four immortal weapons. They are the Martial Sacred Lotus, the Purple Firmament Dust in his left hand, the True Martial Demon Slayer in his right, and the nine-colored light behind his head."
Suddenly, Lin Jin said, "Your attribute is wood but you seem to be rootless. Don't visualize the statue of Shin Budo. Just visualize the sacred lotus will do. This will stabilize your foundation and calm your mind."
The disciple thought about it carefully and seemed to have understood something. After thanking him, he sat down in satisfaction.
Following that, more disciples raised questions and Lin Jin tried his best to answer them. Relying on the museum's detailed explanation of visualization, he was able to satisfy them.
It must be known that it was not easy to achieve this.
The lecture was nearing its end. Every disciple present felt that their trip had been worthwhile, and their respect for Lin Jin deepened.
Lin Jin walked down the podium.
He was quite relaxed. After all, he had the Museum of Deadly Beasts to back him up. There were many detailed explanations of spells inside. All he had to do was to memorize all the detailed explanations and find the corresponding or similar explanations when the time came.
Come to think of it, Lin Jin felt that just cultivating visualization was enough. After all, it was an ancient immortal spell. Its main function was to stabilize the mind, expand the spirit ocean, and strengthen the spell's power.
There shouldn't be anyone who could ascend to immortality through visualization alone.
Lin Jin didn't plan to cultivate it too deeply either. After all, the Museum of Deadly Beasts had many other skills that were more powerful than visualization.
"Lin Jin, please wait!"
Just then, a person came over. Judging by the five blood cloud patterns on his body, he must be an assistant lecturer of the Friar Association.
The man approached Lin Jin and said with a smile, "Lin Jin, I'm the Spirit Library's steward. After hearing you talk about visualization today, I was suddenly enlightened. My horizons have been broadened."
After a brief introduction, Lin Jin learned that this kind-looking assistant lecturer's name was Wu Xi. He was one of the stewards of the Spirit Library and was in charge of the compilation and management of books.
"Lin Jin, I'm sure that the external visualization you talked about earlier has no records of it in the Spirit Library. May I know where you learned it from?" Wu Xi was a straightforward person. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he went straight to the point.
Lin Jin could tell that he meant no harm. He simply wanted to clarify things.
Lin Jin already had a rough idea of how the cultivation method came to be.
"I was taught by an expert. However, this expert doesn't care about fame and fortune so if Steward Wu wishes to know who that expert is, forgive me for not being able to tell you," Lin Jin said, giving Wu Xi a heads-up.
Wu Xi wore a look of pity. He probably wanted to clarify things.
Noticing the other man's hesitation, Lin Jin smiled and said, "Steward Wu, please feel free to speak your mind."
Wu Xi rubbed his hands together. Lin Jin was no ordinary disciple. Who in the Friar Association didn't know about him? He was a Rank 2 beast appraiser recommended by Huangfu Ming. Other than that, he got into a conflict with Yang Jie as soon as he arrived. His initial assessment was at the fourth realm of his blood contract. Now that he was giving a public lecture, his external visualization was even more amazing.
Truth be told, although Wu Xi was at the fifth realm of his blood contract and was an assistant lecturer, he had to humble himself in front of Lin Jin.
"It's like this. Lin Jin, I'd like to record the external visualization that you're talking about in the Spirit Library. However, I'll have to seek your opinion on this first." After saying that, Wu Xi thought for a moment before continuing, "If such an amazing technique could be popularized, it would be a blessing for all cultivators. I know it's rude of me to say this, but I, Wu Xi, have absolutely no selfish motives in this matter. Heaven and earth can bear witness."
Having said that, Wu Xi bowed at Lin Jin with a sincere attitude.
To Lin Jin, this external visualization technique was really nothing. He couldn't be bothered to cultivate it himself. After all, the true wonder of visualization lay in the internal visualization technique.
However, if Lin Jin were to 'donate' a cultivation method without any benefits, that wouldn't be appropriate either.
Lin Jin was straightforward. He asked with a smile, "What benefits?"
Wu Xi looked embarrassed. "Well, you'll have to sign your name on the compiled cultivation method. Also, the association will award you the title of an honorary disciple. I know that compared to the external visualization technique, these aren't even worth mentioning …"
Before Wu Xi could finish, Lin Jin nodded and said, "I agree."
"Lin Jin, don't reject it just yet. Uh … you agree?" Wu Xi didn't know how to react as he stared at Lin Jin with wide eyes. Lin Jin gave him a firm answer.
"I agree. Sign my name and the title of an honorary disciple."
Lin Jin had no reason to reject this.
After all, he had already publicly lectured on the external visualization technique and everyone present had memorized it. So, even if the cultivation method wasn't included in the Spirit Library, it would still be disseminated. Now that he could sign his name in a book and receive an honorary title, why not?
It was a great honor to have one's signature recorded in the Spirit Library.
Wu Xi told Lin Jin that Lin Jin was the first person to have a cultivation method recorded in the Spirit Library as a disciple.
However, this wasn't something that Wu Xi could decide alone. In order to record certain cultivation methods and spells into the Spirit Library, all the mentors of the Friar Association had to give their approval.
Wu Xi began running back and forth to handle this matter. What Lin Jin needed to do was to compile the formula for external visualization and the corresponding interpretation into a book.
This wasn't difficult as Lin Jin could write it out on the spot.
Wu Xi fetched a pen and paper for Lin Jin to write. In fact, he was just copying the contents of the Museum of Deadly Beasts. In less than half an hour, he had written a small volume with less than twenty pages.
These were the essentials. He had discarded some unnecessary words and simplified the language.
After he was done, he let Wu Xi take a look and the latter was impressed.
"This is truly a wonderful method. Although the formula is profound, with an interpretation, the threshold is much lower. I'll go look for the Spirit Library's manager now." Having said that, Wu Xi took Lin Jin's manuscript and hurried away.
It was obvious that he was an impatient person.
Lin Jin made a trip back home. He planned to help the shadow wolf evolve.
Lin Jin was usually very busy. Xiao Huo was always by his side and Goldy wasn't home most of the time. Hence, the house needed a pet beast to watch over the place.
The deer hadn't fully recovered and even if it did, it would probably return to Shi Wenjun's side. Hence, Lin Jin could only pin his hopes on the shadow wolf.
Moreover, the shadow wolf had a calm temperament so it was suitable for this task.
Lin Jin had refined the six shadow beast soul pill at the Shi Manor yesterday. This was the key to the shadow wolf's perfect evolution.
After having Xiao Huo and Goldy guard outside, Lin Jin brought the shadow wolf into the house.
Although Lin Jin and the shadow wolf didn't have a blood contract, the shadow wolf's loyalty toward Lin Jin was no less than that of a pet beast with a blood contract. In fact, it might even surpass the latter.
Unlike the last time, Lin Jin had more tricks up his sleeves this time. His pulse-seeking technique had reached an extremely high level. Needles flew out and pierced into the shadow wolf's acupoints. Then, he fed the wolf the six shadow beast soul pill.
Next, Lin Jin only needed to use the acupuncture technique and the pill's power to help the shadow wolf evolve perfectly. To the shadow wolf, this process was excruciating. Not only did it have to endure the pill's power rampaging through its body, but it also had to endure the pain of the needles piercing its acupoints.
Yet, the shadow wolf didn't make a sound and simply endured the pain.
Moments later, the pill's power filled the shadow wolf's body. The quality of the pill Lin Jin had refined this time was much higher than the six sun beast soul pill he gave Xiao Huo. The strength of the pill was also several times stronger.
The shadow wolf's skin and flesh were rupturing from the overpowering effects of the pill. Blood was seeping out of its fur.
At this, Lin Jin knew things weren't looking good.
Although the shadow wolf had recovered after Lin Jin's recuperation, it was still heavily injured. In addition to the overpowering effects of the pill, the shadow wolf couldn't hold on much longer.
Lin Jin quickly flicked a needle into the shadow wolf's blood vessels to stabilize its internal organs.
As time passed, the effects of the pill finally fused and a miraculous scene happened.
The shadow wolf turned into a cloud of black mist and dispersed.
Even Lin Jin was startled by this scene. The needles he had inserted into the shadow wolf's body had all fallen to the ground. Looking around, there was only black mist and the shadow wolf was nowhere to be seen.
It was gone.
If it was anyone else, they would definitely be at a loss. However, Lin Feng had long since understood all the attributes and hidden bloodline of the Shadow Wolf. At this moment, he could conclude that his perfect state this time had activated the hidden bloodline of the Shadow Wolf.
