Chapter 6 Nottingham City
During the process of making clay sculptures, Shi Quan keenly realized that this kind of focused and single-minded clay sculpture manufacturing may not only improve the compatibility of clay martial souls, but also improve mental strength.
If you use martial soul clay to make a good, vivid and even spiritual work, you need to concentrate all your mental strength on the martial soul during the whole process. This process can definitely achieve the effect of training mental strength.
His father's flexible control of the martial soul also consumes the power of his own mind, that is, mental strength. If he controls it for too long, Shi Jian will also feel tired.
"Xiao Quan, you did a good job."
Shi Jian looked at Shi Quan who had just awakened from that state with shock in his eyes. He started learning to make clay sculptures at the age of six. He entered the state of Shi Quan just now by chance when he was eighteen or nineteen years old. He was immersed in the production of clay sculptures and reached a level of selflessness.
In his plan, it was already very good that Shi Quan could enter this state of selflessness in these three months. However, it has only been half a month and Shi Quan has already entered this state of selflessness. How could he not be surprised?
"Is this the talent of a soul master?" Shi Jian thought to himself, and he was sincerely happy for Shi Quan.
"Xiao Quan, remember the feeling just now. In the next period of time, you must try to enter that state as much as possible. Practice makes perfect. When you can control it freely, it is time for you to try to use your martial soul to make clay sculptures."
After Shi Quan recalled the feeling just now, he nodded and said, "I understand, Dad."
He is still using ordinary clay to make clay sculptures. According to Shi Jian, he can try to use his martial soul to make clay sculptures only after he can freely immerse himself in the process of making clay sculptures.
It looks like an ordinary clay sculpture, but it is not as simple as imagined to make it. It is not so easy to enter the feeling of selflessness and immersion.
If Shi Quan had not developed the habit of reading since childhood, his mind would be easier to calm down than ordinary people. With the help of the spirit spirit, it would be impossible for him to reach this state for the first time in half a month.
This state of concentration, selflessness, and immersion is very special.
Even if it cannot help Shi Jian improve his ability to control his spirit, this special state is also very beneficial to his practice.
With the help of the spirit spirit, Shi Quan entered this state of selflessness for the second time after seven days. During the whole practice process, Shi Quan could feel that his mental power was also affected and improved imperceptibly, which significantly enhanced his perception of the spirit spirit.
As the number of times increased, Shi Quan became more and more adept at entering this state of selflessness. After more than two months, he could almost enter this state of selflessness every day.
As Shi Jian expected, this state of concentration and selflessness is not only useful for controlling the spirit, but also can help and improve his practice. The speed of practice will be a few points faster than normal. Although not much, it will also be a significant improvement over time.
This kind of focused and quiet study and practice made Shi Quan appear more stable, allowing him to calm down and immerse himself in things subconsciously.
It may seem like a simple clay sculpture, but the benefits of doing such a thing well far exceeded Shi Quan's expectations.
Shi Quan still admired his father in his heart. An ordinary person could actually do this.
There are not many external influences in the Douluo world. There are countless ordinary people like Shi Jian who devote their entire lives to one thing. However, being able to comprehend the control method of martial soul from this extremely ordinary thing, in addition to the coincidence of the martial soul's fit, is more of a manifestation of Shi Jian's own talent.
"If my father was born in a world of cultivation and enlightenment, he would be a genius."
Three months passed quickly in this fulfilling practice.
This special state made him feel a bit like the state of enlightenment in the novels of his previous life. Although similar, there is also a clear gap.
Now he can enter this special state freely, but what makes Shi Quan headache is that there is a prerequisite, that is, it must be assisted by the spirit spirit.
Therefore, he also named this special state "spiritual enlightenment".
Now he can only rely on the spirit spirit to quickly clear the distractions in his heart and immerse himself in the spiritual enlightenment state.
The more times he enters the spiritual enlightenment state, the more Shi Quan admires his father in his heart. The spiritual enlightenment state has a comprehensive increase in the cultivation of soul masters, and this increase will only increase with the improvement of strength.
Especially for the ninety-fifth level Titled Douluo, if Shi Quan remembers correctly, it seems that the original work said that the Titled Douluo after the ninety-fifth level does not rely on the accumulation of soul power, but on the comprehension of his own martial soul. If there is the assistance of the spiritual enlightenment state, there can be no bottleneck after the ninety-fifth level.
If this news spreads, I am afraid that the whole continent will be shaken.
Of course, Shi Quan is not sure. After all, when the soul power level of Tang Fozu is increased, it soars directly, but there is no saying that it still needs to be comprehended.
Although the spiritual enlightenment state is strong, it also has some disadvantages. Because in the spiritual enlightenment state, all the consciousness and thoughts of the whole person are immersed in something, which will cause the person to ignore time and everything around him. Once he encounters danger, he will not have time to react, so he must be in a safe place to enter the spiritual enlightenment state.
…
"Xiao Quan, take a rest today."
Shi Quan paused as he stepped into the clay sculpture room, and looked at Shi Jian in the clay sculpture room in confusion, "What's wrong, Dad? Why don't you practice today?"
Shi Jian said lightly: "Tomorrow you will go to the Soul Master Academy in Notting City to study. You will be away for a year. During this period, you have been in this clay sculpture room every day. On the last day, go and accompany your mother."
"I know, Dad."
Shi Quan's expression moved slightly. He practiced every day during this period, and he really didn't pay attention to the time issue. He didn't expect that he would go to the academy so soon. Li Meili has loved him since he was a child. Now that Shi Quan is going to study, he must be in a bad mood. Shi Jian should have noticed Li Meili's mood, so he deliberately asked him to accompany Li Meili.
Arriving in front of the courtyard, Li Meili was sitting alone in the courtyard, staring at the reclining chair on one side of the courtyard. The reclining chair was not big, and they prepared it for Shi Quan. Shi Quan usually liked to lie on it to bask in the sun and read books.
In the past three months, Shi Quan practiced every day, and he never lay down once, but the reclining chair was still spotlessly clean.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Shi Quan came behind Li Meili and hugged her from behind.
"Why didn't you practice today?" Hearing the voice behind her, Li Meili's face suddenly showed a bright smile.
Shi Quan smiled and said playfully, "Aren't you thinking about our beautiful mother?"
"Why is our Xiao Quan so sweet?" Li Meili chuckled, turned around and hugged Shi Quan in her arms, "What delicious food do you want for lunch? Mom will make it for you!"
"Sweet and sour spare ribs, spicy rabbit meat..." Shi Quan fiddled with his fingers and counted them one by one. In less than a moment, he reported a long list of food, "...I like everything mom makes~"
"Hahaha, good, good."
With just a few words, Shi Quan made Li Meili laugh.
Happy time always passes quickly. In the laughter, night falls quickly.
In the room, Shi Quan rarely returned to the room and started practicing immediately. Instead, he stared at the moonlight outside the window for a while. Thinking of the Soul Master Academy he was about to enter and Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Master in the Soul Master Academy, Shi Quan was rarely a little uneasy.
He had some expectations for the outside world, and he also felt reluctant to leave.
Early morning.
In the fragrance of porridge, Shi Quan woke up from his practice. In the past three months, he spent every night in practice. He still only had a few general directions for the system's treasure chest triggering rules. He tried several times in the past three months, but there was no response. Now he can only rely on his own diligence and hard work to improve his strength as much as possible.
After three months of hard practice, his soul power level has also been raised to level five, and it is not far from level six. At this rate of improvement, he is confident that he can break through level 20 before graduating from the junior college.
In the main room, Li Meili had prepared breakfast for the two of them. They had packed Shi Quan's things in advance. In order to send Shi Quan off, the two of them specially wore a brand new set of clothes. Of course, Shi Quan's new clothes are naturally indispensable.
Although they live in the village, Shi Quan's family is not poor. After all, Shi Jian's craftsmanship is there, and clay sculptures are enough to make their family worry-free.
"Xiao Quan, come and eat."
Li Meili's call came from the main room.
Maybe thinking that Shi Quan was going to the academy today, the breakfast on the table was particularly rich, all of which were Shi Quan's favorites.
After feasting, Shi Quan's stomach soon swelled up. Even if he ate until he was full, there was still nearly two-thirds of the breakfast on the table.
He couldn't finish it. He couldn't finish it at all.
Shi Quan touched his swollen belly, looking very satisfied, which made Li Meili giggle.
After the three of them finished breakfast, the carriage that Shi Jian had arranged in advance had already parked steadily outside their house. After a simple packing, they put the prepared things on the carriage one by one, and the group began to drive towards Notting City.
They prepared everything for Shi Quan, including bedding, pillows, straw mats, clothes, shoes, and toiletries.
Shi Jian was driving the carriage, Shi Quan and Li Meili were sitting in the back. The three of them were talking and laughing like they were going out for a trip. Of course, Shi Jian's instructions were indispensable. Shi Quan was also aware of the special state of spiritual enlightenment. He knew the importance and would not expose it casually. Without Shi Jian's guidance, he could only rely on Shi Quan to practice.
The speed of the carriage was not very fast, but the distance between Shijia Village and Notting City was not far. Just before noon, the towering walls of Notting City could be seen in the distance.
Shi Quan had been to Notting City many times with Li Meili, Shi Jian and others before, so it was not unfamiliar.
The registration time was still long, and it was close to noon. Shi Jian drove the carriage directly to the door of a restaurant in Notting City, intending to eat lunch first.
"Hey, Master Shi, are you here to deliver clay sculptures in the city again? Come, come and sit here."
As soon as he entered the restaurant, the shopkeeper greeted Shi Jian enthusiastically. The decoration of the restaurant was very grand, and there were many exquisite clay sculptures on the counter behind the counter. However, just before noon, the restaurant was already full of people who came to eat, and there were only one or two empty tables on the edge.
Shi Jian also smiled and waved to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper Li's business is still booming. Today I am here to send this kid off."
"Oh?" Shopkeeper Li greeted Shi Jian and others to sit down at an empty table, and his eyes changed a little when he looked at Shi Quan.
This shopkeeper Li is also a shrewd person. There are people coming and going in the restaurant every day. He has seen many kinds of people and knows much more than ordinary people. He clasped his fists and congratulated: "Congratulations to Master Shi for having such a noble son."
Shi Jian smiled and said without arrogance: "Shopkeeper Li, you are joking. This is all his own good fortune."
"Master Shi is still the same. Please sit down first. I will ask the kitchen to serve you a few more signature dishes." Shopkeeper Li smiled and walked towards the kitchen.
"Dad, are you familiar with that shopkeeper Li?"
Shi Jian shook his head. "He ordered clay sculptures from me twice before. I just had a simple deal with him twice, but the taste of his restaurant is really good. I will eat more later."
Shi Quan nodded thoughtfully. His father is not only mature and steady, but also very shrewd in dealing with people.
What does a restaurant do? A place for bragging, chatting and gathering, with many people and eyes.
The fact that he has the talent of a soul master will soon spread among people who know Shi Jian in Notting City through the mouth of Shopkeeper Li. After all, it is rare gossip that an ordinary family has a soul master. There is no harm in spreading the news. At that time, it may help the family increase a lot of business, which is beneficial without disadvantage.
After lunch.
Li Meili was afraid that the things she prepared were not enough, so she insisted that Shi Jian drive the carriage to go around the street again, under the pretext of checking for omissions and filling in the gaps. If she saw anything she needed, she would buy it. Shi Jian also understood his lover in his heart and understood that Li Meili wanted to accompany Shi Quan for a while longer, so he drove the carriage towards the street obediently.
The mother and son were strolling, playing and having fun, as if they came to Notting City specifically for shopping.
"Hello, sir, do you know where Notting College is?"
When the three of them were strolling happily, they were attracted by an old voice not far away, and they all subconsciously turned back to look in the direction of the voice.
