Chapter 17 - 11 The Faint Light

Chapter 17: Chapter 11 The Faint Light"Ordinary people, after stepping into cultivation, will gradually undergo a transformation under the nourishment of cosmic energy. The duration of this process depends on the daily cultivation results of each student, and during this transformation period, conditions such as hunger, auditory hallucinations, excitement, and insomnia may occur." "Students need not worry, this is a process everyone must go through, and it won’t take more than a few days to adapt. By the way, if possible, students should go buy nutrient solutions to ensure daily nutritional intake, which can reduce the time spent eating." "Teacher Lin, we want to know how long we need to cultivate before we can reach the first realm, Spirit Medium." A student raised a question inside the meditation room. Lin Yue immediately said, "Before answering this question, I would like to ask all of you one thing. Our human body receives information from the outside world through various senses. Which one of these senses do you think receives the most information? Nose, mouth, ears, eyes, or skin?" "Eyes, it’s the eyes that receive the most information from the outside world." A student quickly answered. Lin Yue nodded and said, "That’s right, it is the eyes. The eyes account for the largest proportion of information received, about eighty percent of all the senses. Therefore, during the cultivation process, the first thing you will feel is not right is when the eyes begin to see things that are usually invisible." "New cultivators often think they are having hallucinations, but in fact, these things exist in our world all along. It’s just that the eyes of ordinary people can see very limited things, which is why they ignore the existence of things beyond their vision." "For example, ghosts. Human eyes cannot see the existence of ghosts. Only when you have cultivated to a certain degree and your eyes have changed can you see what are called ghosts." "Also, in sealed-off dangerous areas, there are some strange and terrifying creatures that ordinary people also cannot see." "As the medium connecting us to the outside world, the eyes are why the first realm of cultivation is called Spirit Medium. Of course, the transformation of the eyes was also referred to by another name in ancient times, called Heavenly Eye Opening." Upon hearing this explanation from Lin Yue, many students suddenly understood, and even Li Yi, who had been eavesdropping on the lecture from outside the door, suddenly gained much insight. Indeed, cultivation is not simple; it involves many special pieces of knowledge. "By the way, I am going to quietly reveal a secret known only to those who have opened the Spirit Medium to all of you students," Lin Yue’s tone suddenly became very serious, "The world we live in is far more terrifying than you can imagine, so every student must work hard in their cultivation, and must not slack off." "That’s all for today’s lesson. Now you may all begin meditation. If there is anything you do not understand during this period, you can come and ask me. I will be in the office outside the meditation room." When Lin Yue walked out of the meditation room, she happened to encounter Li Yi, who had been eavesdropping, and she was startled for a moment before smiling and saying, "Li Yi, if you want to listen to the lecture, you can just go in, there’s no need to stand outside." "Listening from outside is the same for me, and besides, I have already joined the sect. There’s no use going into the meditation room; it might even disturb the other students’ cultivation." Li Yi shook his head. He felt it was already quite good that he could attend the class for free. Becoming a member would cost ten thousand yuan. He was not willing to part with that much money now. Lin Yue did not say anything and suddenly stepped forward a few paces, closing in with her clean and pretty face rapidly approaching. Li Yi was startled and instinctively retreated, but was caught by Lin Yue, who pressed his shoulder with a force so strong that he could not break free. "Don’t move, let me look at your eyes." Lin Yue’s face showed a look of disbelief: "Didn’t you notice? There’s a faint light flickering in your eyes. It’s incredible, truly incredible. This is a clear sign that your body is evolving." "In the meditation room, students might not experience such a situation even after a month of cultivation. How long have you been cultivating, one day, or two days? Li Yi, be honest, did something in your head suddenly ’ding’ the first time we met, awakening some Golden Finger?" Li Yi was inwardly surprised, having not expected his transformation to be seen through by Lin Yue at a glance. Could the speed of cultivation with a Mysterious Object truly be so terrifying? Could one day’s time match what takes others a month? "I don’t know, I cultivated all night after I went home yesterday, and when I woke up the next day, I was like this. It doesn’t seem like anything’s changed." He could only play dumb, not daring to reveal his secret. He was too weak now. Possessing a damaged Mysterious Object would only bring trouble. Only when he became strong enough could he proudly reveal the fact of his Mysterious Object. Lin Yue stared at Li Yi’s eyes for a while before finally releasing him, then expressed her doubt, "It’s impossible. Your Cultivation Value can only be considered average. It’s definitely not possible to reach this level in just one or two days... Could it be that there’s something special about your home?" "What could be special at my home? There are plenty of houses like mine in the old city district," said Li Yi. "This is what you don’t understand. The world is so vast, and the level of wormhole activity varies from place to place. In some areas, the frequency at which wormholes open is high, and they gain more cosmic energy, whereas in other places it is the opposite. Even I have heard that certain special areas have wormholes that open regularly at fixed times, releasing a massive amount of cosmic energy, and cultivating there is comparable to having a Mysterious Object."
