CHAPTER 284: CHAPTER 168: THE GRAND FUSION OF TRANSFORMATIONS! FEIFEI’S INTERNAL DOCUMENTS

The All-Encompassing Meditation Method.

Looking at the item inside the box, Su Ping felt no particular surprise. It was something he had anticipated, and its appearance seemed perfectly reasonable. Thus, Su Ping felt at ease, sat down, and opened the book.

What appeared before him was an ancient text quoted in relation to this special Meditation Method:

’When the heart condenses and the form is released, all transformations merge into the dark...’

Then, after reading for half an hour, Su Ping confirmed that this Meditation Method had absolutely nothing to do with the name from the ancient text. Su Ping had every reason to suspect that this name had been created first, and then someone had simply picked a pleasant-sounding name from ancient writings to attach to it.

However, it had to be said that despite the unrelated name, the content within was enough for Su Ping to overlook this minor flaw.

Su Ping finally understood the origin of Meditation Methods. Before actually seeing this, Su Ping had never explored research in this direction.

Now that he considered it, within the Beast Tamer Civilization, although recorded history didn’t span ten thousand years, an endless stream of talented individuals had still emerged.

And this direction was the Soul Contract!

In this All-Encompassing Meditation Method, humans were also considered a type of ’Pet Beast.’ They were special ’Pet Beasts’ primarily of the ’Psychic’ element, with the ’Space Element’ as a supplement.

However, humans, as this type of ’Pet Beast,’ could not autonomously possess power, nor could they change form through Evolution. Even acquiring a Soul Contract and a Beast Taming Space required the aid of an ’Awakening Stone.’

But, every loss has its gain. Meditation allowed humans to achieve virtually limitless growth through self-cultivation. The Soul Contract, moreover, was a unique Ability of human Beast Tamers.

The Meditation Method was a technique for achieving meditative resonance with Pet Beasts bound by a Soul Contract. Through this resonance, one’s spiritual power would become familiar with this type of force.

Once a minor level of proficiency was achieved, Pet Beast assistance was no longer required, and one could meditate alone. During such meditation, effects and manifestations differing from normal meditation would occur.

It sounded easy, but it was extremely difficult in practice.

Therefore, Su Ping didn’t overthink it. Instead, he chose to try it directly!

What were the benefits of practicing this Meditation Method? Qin Xiaoxue had previously spoken of it somewhat vaguely. Su Ping hadn’t paid much mind then, but now it seemed that practicing this Meditation Method offered far too many advantages compared to simple meditation.

Take this All-Encompassing Meditation Method, for instance. It was a Meditation Method that resonated with Wood Element and Undead Pet Beasts.

Firstly, the speed of meditation would definitely increase slightly; this was without a doubt.

Secondly, through Soul Resonance, one’s spiritual power could simulate some Wood Element and Necromancy Series energies. Of course, the effect would definitely not be as potent as that of one’s own Pet Beasts. However, it could still alter the spiritual power’s effect, preventing it from being merely a hindrance or a prime target on the battlefield.

These two functions were the main effects of this All-Encompassing Meditation Method!

Besides these, there were also some secondary effects. For example, the one Su Ping valued most was the ability to maintain some meditative effects even during sleep. And there were many more.

No doubt about it. When Qin Xiaoxue had spoken of it previously, even with her status as Miss Qin, she had been so cautious about this Meditation Method; indeed, there was a reason for that.

The preciousness of this item was hard to imagine!

Leaping across this world’s social strata wasn’t something achievable merely by encountering a talented Pet Beast or having a decent stroke of luck. Any little boost, accumulated over countless years, would result in a vast difference.

Su Ping now somewhat understood how the Beast Taming Gate Families, which had existed for thousands, or perhaps several thousand years, had passed down their legacies. The Meditation Method definitely played a significant role in this heritage.

And anyone capable of creating any Meditation Method was certainly no ordinary person.

As for whether this All-Encompassing Meditation Method was created by Lord Sang Sheng, Su Ping didn’t know.

His eyes were already closed.

Inside the Beast Taming Space, the Little Paper Figure, which until yesterday hadn’t left the space, seemed to sense something. While Xiao Qing was leisurely basking in the sun above, the Little Paper Figure suddenly let out a WAH!

Xiao Qing looked at the creature discontentedly. This fellow that’s always muttering and drawing its sword, what’s it up to now?

Damn, it’s so annoying! But I can’t beat it!

But soon, Xiao Qing also sensed something. Its two ears perked up straight.

They sensed that their master’s spirit seemed to connect with them. This feeling was extremely special. It was as if their master’s palms were simultaneously caressing their bodies.

At the same time, their faint spiritual connection seemed to link with their master through the Soul Contract.

Then, the next second, the connection broke.

Su Ping opened his eyes. He had failed.

But Su Ping wasn’t discouraged. He continued to attempt.

Inside the Beast Taming Space, the two little creatures immediately drooped. The Little Paper Figure continued to draw its Thunder Sword, practicing within its small, designated territory. Then suddenly, it let out another WAH!

Xiao Qing did the same; its ears had just drooped but then shot straight up again.

Five seconds later, the two little creatures returned to normal. And then it started again...

This process repeated over and over, lasting for more than half an hour. It happened every ten seconds, making the two little creatures in the Beast Taming Space somewhat psychically hypersensitive. They always felt that in the next second, their master was about to initiate Soul Resonance with them via the Soul Contract. Yet, this resonance, no matter what, just couldn’t establish a complete connection.

Finally, this resonance, which had nearly induced a stress response in the two little creatures, stopped. It gave the two little creatures a short respite!

「In reality.」

Sitting in the study, Su Ping at this moment had fallen into self-doubt.

Did Lord Sang Sheng know that practicing this Meditation Method was so difficult?

Over half an hour! Although this duration wasn’t excessive, for meditation, it wasn’t a significant amount of time. But the problem was, during this entire half-hour, he had been constantly trying to resonate with Xiao Qing and Qian Yi, attempting to practice the Meditation Method. Yet, in all this half-hour, not once did the resonance last more than five seconds!

Moreover, most of the time, the attempts weren’t even as effective as the first successful resonance!

What the hell is this?

Su Ping scratched his head. He didn’t try again. Throughout this half-hour, he had already tried countless times, refusing to give up. However, forget about completing the resonance and beginning meditation together; he couldn’t even maintain the resonance for a longer duration.

Therefore, Su Ping sat on the chair, his face etched with existential doubt, murmuring in shock, Could it be that I have no Talent for cultivation?

No Talent!

This term, Su Ping had never before imagined it could be applied to himself. His Talent, not to mention in breeding research, was quite remarkable even in meditation. At No. 6 Middle School, his meditation score was the best in the school. And now, with this Meditation Method, Su Ping couldn’t even reach the beginner level in half an hour.

Is it my problem? Su Ping found it somewhat inconceivable.

"Master, you’re the best! Don’t be discouraged!"

Just then, Feifei, on the desk, uttered consoling words. It provided a tiny bit of comfort to Su Ping, who was mired in self-doubt. But of course, it was just that—a tiny bit.

If it wasn’t a problem with my own Talent, then what was the reason?

Was it because these two Pet Beasts, strictly speaking, couldn’t be considered pure Wood Element or Undead Pet Beasts?

Seriously, that’s a real possibility.These two mutated little ones, no one could say they were like normal Pet Beasts.

Damn it!Mutated Pet Beasts are my downfall!

Frustration bubbled within Su Ping!

After this contract with Feifei is complete, if I continue to advance, my fourth Pet Beast must absolutely not be another Mutated Pet Beast!This is such a pain!

Yes, the fault lies with the Pet Beasts!It’s definitely not an issue with his, Su the Great Genius’s, Talent.

Su Ping was certain.

So, he decided to stop agonizing over this Meditation Method.

So what if it just increases meditation speed a little?

So what if it just improves meditation efficiency a bit?

So what if it just allows one’s spiritual power to undergo some Energy changes?

What’s so great about that?He, Su the Great Genius, doesn’t need it! Maybe I can even create my own Meditation Method in the future!

"Mhm!" Su Ping nodded, already fantasizing how future biographers might write about him:

’The great Breeder and Beast Tamer, Master X (X the Legend), possessing unparalleled Talent, adapted a Meditation Method to his own Pet Beasts, astonishing the world...’

With this thought, Su Ping’s mood improved significantly. Clearly, this self-deception was working wonders.

And so, Su Ping stepped out of his study once again.

Meditation Methods and whatnot, best not to mention them for now, nor practice them!

Comparatively, Pet Beast cultivation was more of a concern for him.

New Year’s Day was just over a month away. And on New Year’s Day, the Breeder Competition would begin in Magic Capital. At the Breeder Competition, he had to earn some face for Jianghai and for Old Liu. It was also the time to officially start building his reputation and winning awards.

Therefore, Old Sha’s cultivation was even more important now. Unfortunately, the Heart of Woods’ skill level still hadn’t improved. Su Ping also needed to devise some special tactics.

He hadn’t tried them before. This was partly because he didn’t know if they would be effective, and partly because it was too troublesome. But now, he had to make time to try.

If I continue to feed it the Heart of Woods Magic Potion, will there be an improvement?

Furthermore, if I use relatively Advanced Level materials and resources to enhance the Heart of Woods Magic Potion’s effects, could it accelerate the skill level improvement of Heart of Woods?

After a brief planning session, Su Ping headed to the laboratory area.

However, what Su Ping absolutely hadn’t anticipated was that just as he left the study, Feifei, on the desk, rotated its body slightly, swaying.

Then, a very faint spiritual power spread out. Feifei’s only innate Skill, ’Psychic Perception,’ allowed it to ’look’ at The All-Encompassing Meditation Method book Su Ping had tossed onto the desk.

It wanted to help its master!Let’s see if there’s any way to help Master compensate for his ’lack of Talent.’

Mhm!

RUSTLE, RUSTLE. The pages of the book flipped from beginning to end.

After scanning all the content of The All-Encompassing Meditation Method, Feifei ’nodded,’ then secretly created a hidden file in its Mechanical Core. The file was named:

"About the Inability of the Master to Practice the Meditation Method Due to Lack of Talent..."
