Start the liver experience with push-ups

Late night.

Moonlight seeped in through the cracks in the curtains, like a venomous snake slowly crawling.

The sound of a car engine turning over came from downstairs, like a bomber swooping down from low altitude.

Fang Cheng sat cross-legged on the bed and suddenly opened his eyes.

In the darkness, his slightly red eyes appeared somewhat eerie.

The improvement in mental attributes not only greatly enhanced the perception of his five senses, but also seemed to make his mind extremely sensitive.

Once there was any sign of disturbance, he would become inexplicably vigilant.

It was as if there were monsters lurking everywhere, baring their fangs and claws, wanting to harm him.

“Phew—”

Fang Cheng gently exhaled and shook his head.

There were too many external distractions, and he couldn't calm down at all.

Trying to meditate in this state was simply testing how tough and stubborn his will was.

Even after using the "Focus" skill, some negative effects would still remain.

The effect was obviously not as good as before, let alone reaching that ideal state of absolute calm and rationality.

Although Ma Jianguo had warned that meditation practice was very dangerous.

But judging from his mental attributes, he had already embarked on this path and could not turn back.

Moreover, the abnormality in his body needed to be resolved, and he couldn't just keep going on like this.

Now he had 40 points of mental attributes, but he didn't have the ability to control this mental attribute.

It was like a strongman who didn't know any fighting skills.

No, the situation should be even more extreme.

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng rubbed his brow and looked at the skill panel that appeared in front of him.

【Focus lv1 (247/250)】

Maintaining a focused state will continuously consume mental energy.

The purpose of meditation practice is to improve mental strength and better control this energy.

From the result, the two can be said to be completely different.

If it wasn't for practicing skills and gaining experience, there was no need to continue to stubbornly pursue this path.

Fang Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, looking at the Focus skill that was about to level up, and he muttered to himself:

“Keep going, just treat it as practicing skills and tempering your will……”

Although there was no progress in meditation, at least there were other gains, weren't there?

This time, in order to increase the difficulty of the challenge.

Fang Cheng simply took out the sponge earplugs with average sound insulation from his ears, and welcomed external interference in a fully loaded state.

Then, he began a new round of mental practice attempts, following the most traditional meditation posture.

Sitting cross-legged, motionless, eyes slightly closed, eyes watching the nose, nose watching the heart.

It's just that although his eyes were closed, it seemed that various illusions were constantly flashing before his eyes.

“Focus skill, activate!”

In an instant, most of the various noises coming from his ears disappeared, becoming much quieter.

Although there were still some residual effects, at least it wasn't so unbearable.

With the assistance of the Focus skill, Fang Cheng calmed down a little, tried to get rid of many distracting thoughts, and silently counted his breaths.

“1, 2, 3, 4.”

“5, 6, 7, 8.”

“……”

This is called the "Breath Counting Method", which is a breathing method he learned from meditation teaching videos, and belongs to the basic skills of Zen meditation training and hypnosis techniques.

By counting the entry and exit of nasal breaths, adjust the quality of breathing, remove selfish thoughts and distracting thoughts, and gradually make the body and mind pure and serene.

It has the effect of eliminating fatigue, reducing anxiety, and improving mental outlook.

If there is no "Focus" skill, Fang Cheng can actually master this skill to quickly enter a relaxed and calm state when needed.

The specific practice method is mainly counting numbers. Each time you inhale, start counting from 1 until 4, and each time you exhale, start counting from 5 until 8.

If your attention starts to wander or you forget to count, just gently return to your breath and start counting again.

As the practice progresses, gradually increase the counting time, from counting from 1 to 5, to 6, and then to 10, so that your breathing becomes longer and longer, more and more natural and smooth, and completely immerse yourself in it.

Until you have practiced to a certain level, your breathing will become light and slow, as if it has stopped, which is a symbol of the perfect integration of body and mind.

Fang Cheng didn't know what Lin Chuqiao's so-called "goal" was, so he simply put the "goal" of Focus on his every breath.

Speaking of which, "Focus" and "Entering Stillness" do have similarities, and it can still be used as a reference when practicing meditation.

As the breath counting method progressed, Fang Cheng was like an old monk in meditation, his face slowly calmed down, and his breathing gradually lengthened.

The whole person also began to become relaxed, peaceful, and no longer so irritable.

Under the dual assistance of the Focus skill and the breath counting method, the body and mind finally successfully completed the reconciliation and successfully "Entered Stillness" again.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu!

Just like that, Fang Cheng tried his best to maintain his state, not knowing how long had passed.

Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed before his eyes.

The prompt message generated by the panel made him suddenly break away from the "Entering Stillness" state.

【Congratulations, through unremitting efforts, your skill has reached the master level】

【Focus lv2 (0/500)】

【Obtain enhancement reward, skill special effect "Heart of Steel"】

In the darkness, Fang Cheng opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

At this moment, there were dense beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, no less than the effect of undergoing a high-intensity physical exercise.

“Finally, before my mental strength was exhausted, I successfully completed the upgrade task!”

Fang Cheng showed a look of relief, rubbed his brow and temples to relieve the feeling of swelling in his head.

Moreover, this time, using the breath counting method to cooperate with practicing skills also made him personally realize a little about the correct method of meditation practice.

After a short rest, Fang Cheng carefully looked at the skill special effect content after the upgrade.

【Heart of Steel, when using the Focus skill, willpower is increased by 200%, while mental consumption will also increase by 100%】

The description of the effect looks very simple, but it is precisely what you need most.

Fang Cheng's spirit suddenly lifted, and he immediately tasted and verified the effect.

As the Focus skill was activated again.

He only felt that an invisible steel barrier seemed to be erected around his body, completely isolating all the fragmented and noisy sounds that came like a tide.

The roaring sound of cars outside the window passed by his ears like a breeze and quickly disappeared.

The harsh crying of children next door also became incomparably soft, and did not affect him at all.

The whole world finally became completely quiet.

Even those complicated and chaotic thoughts in his mind were all cleared out.

Only one thought remained—stability, one emotion—calm.

“Very good……”

Feeling the specific effect of the skill, Fang Cheng muttered to himself.

Now he has not only returned to the most ideal state in the past, but also obtained further enhancement on this basis.

I believe that in the future, with the improvement of mental attributes, there will be even more extraordinary and significant effects.

After the verification was successful, Fang Cheng glanced at the alarm clock time, it was already past 11 o'clock.

Then he lay down, covered himself with the quilt, and prepared to rest.

It's just that after lying on the bed for a while, tossing and turning for a long time, he suddenly sat up again.

Unable to sleep, he turned to look at the satchel placed aside.

Then he took out a business card from the bag, his eyes shining brightly, staring at the words on it:

“Truth and Meditation Co-cultivation Association”.
