MM Racing Chapter 33 The Art of Fake Emotions for Refining the Heart
Chapter 33 The Art of Fake Emotions for Refining the Heart
Flower City.
As the largest city in the province of Fasino, Huayan City is not only famous for its porcelain, silk, and spices, but also for its beautiful women.
The top floor of the restaurant.
The beautiful woman begins to dance, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, graceful and charming, as ethereal as a fairy.
Jiang Xinhua drank wine and water, while his maidservants attentively served him, holding his feet on Run Ning's full breasts, and ate food and wine with some second-generation rich kids.
After the banquet.
Jiang Xinhua lost his absurd demeanor and gradually became serious, leaving side by side with a woman.
"Aunt Hua, it's time to talk to that person again."
Being a second-generation rich kid doesn't mean he's a spoiled brat. On the contrary, Jiang Xinhua believes he's very ambitious.
Building relationships with these second-generation individuals is for future use and to solidify the father's influence in the Fassno province.
If he were truly a playboy, why would Hatto entrust his entire fortune to him?
In fact, he not only has a prestigious status, but also considerable talent. At just over twenty years old, he is already a level 43 Battle Soul Master.
"So anxious?" Yao Hua's features were exquisite, but her eyes were full of doubt.
"If he's sensible, he'll expand rapidly, and I can give him half the profits," Jiang Xinhua said.
He had already realized the enormous profits of meat processing plants.
"Should we only take half?" Yaohua asked.
Jiang Xinhua said, "His identity is special. There are rumors that the 'Golden Needle Body Tempering Method' in the Pope's possession was created by him."
"No wonder you value him so much." Yao Hua nodded slightly.
"The important thing is that he is only a Soul Master..." Jiang Xinhua said.
"Xiao Hua, he's still an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall," Yao Hua said with some concern.
Jiang Xinhua said, "Don't worry, Father once told me that his status will be promoted again in a few years, and he may be transferred to a super city like Xingyao City or Tiandou City. At that time, Father will have the full support of Great-Grandfather, so offending him won't be a big deal..."

Nottingham.
The fire of passion within him extinguished in the Qin Ruins, and he began to write furiously on the table.
After three days of understanding and research, Qin Xu has come to understand Bibi Dong's mental state.
The power of evil intentions, if not guided, will have no effect on tempering the mind and will.
On the contrary, without the method of calming the mind and achieving stillness, one's mind will be constantly and subtly influenced by the power of evil thoughts.
This is also consistent with logical facts.
Not everyone can become stronger after setbacks. On the contrary, a person's beliefs can be eroded by negative emotions.
Even if you manage to weather the emotional ups and downs, your heart will gradually become numb, as if covered in dust. It will no longer be able to be stimulated.
Based on the black seal, Qin Xu devised two methods for cultivating the mind.
One approach involves engaging in emotional activity and tempering one's mindset through emotional fluctuations.
Another method is to empty one's mind, so that one no longer experiences any fluctuations in thought, becoming as still as the stars.
Regardless of the path taken, in the complete method of cultivating the mind, preserving the spirit, maintaining stillness, and entering samadhi are the first three stages. However, this time, Qin Xu only deduced the method of preserving the spirit.
"The will to live is not only a belief, but also a power."
On this day, Qin Xu recorded all his feelings from the past three days, writing a detailed account that spanned more than ten pages.
Qin Xu silently recited the Origin Strengthening Technique, and immediately a series of messages were transmitted from the book.
"First, the method of refining the mind by imagining the seven emotions (the state of mental cultivation) allows one to contemplate dreams and use mental energy to create illusory realms, thus fluctuating emotions. It also allows one to enter a state of deep meditation, emptying anger, and transforming the emotions of the seven emotions and six desires into spiritual nourishment, tempering the will..."
Required resource: 3 points of good fortune
"Second, the Void God Star Body Refining Method (Preserving the Spirit Realm): The body is like a star, the mind enters the stars, one contemplates countless thoughts, entering the countless stars, tempering and refining them a thousand times, condensing the true heart..."
Required resource: 2 points of good fortune
"Choose the direction of strengthening, and use the Seven Emotions Simulation Mind Refinement Method." Qin Xu did not hesitate.
The method of refining the mind by imagining the seven emotions uses emotions as nourishment.
When negative emotions arise, they can all be transformed into resources, tempering the mind and will.
When one's willpower reaches a certain level, controlling the power of the Rakshasa god will naturally be a given.
Just as a flood can wash away river sand, but even the biggest flood cannot wash away the Earth itself.
Given Bibi Dong's current situation, this method is the most suitable.
The power of the Rakshasa continuously erodes his heart, precisely because it can constantly stir up negative emotions, making it his best source of nourishment.
Of course, with Bibi Dong's level of mental strength, she was fully capable of conjuring up fantasies and mobilizing the seven emotions illusions she had created.
Negative emotions are not required from the power of Rakshasa.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, words began to appear on the book. The black seal's deduction process was extremely rapid, and in the blink of an eye, he deduced the "Illusory Seven Emotions Refining Heart Method" based on his conception.
Qin Xu immediately turned the page and began to study it carefully.
Before long, he was completely absorbed! This method of refining the mind by imagining the seven emotions is extremely ingenious, in addition to imagining the seven emotions.
It also contains several training methods, which can be used as an aid to the Seven Emotions Refining the Mind Method.
For example, the most important method for becoming a superior person is the method of taking drugs to refine one's senses.
This refers to a method specifically designed to cultivate the brain and skull.
As the brain becomes more powerful, neural responses are faster, it can better mobilize its own power, and its senses become more acute. The mind, though seemingly mysterious, is not so much related to the heart; its essence is the brain's consciousness.
A powerful brain naturally leads to a sharp mind.
This method requires the use of certain medicinal ingredients. The reason it attracted the attention of the Qin Ruins was that these medicinal ingredients were not particularly rare.
Clearly, the brain-training effects of these medicinal herbs have never been discovered before.
While Qin Xu ordered people to collect the materials, he began the most crucial "virtual simulation".
He wants to inspect the goods first!
"The core of 'illusionary performance' is to use mental power to construct a dreamlike world within one's subconscious. This method is extremely effective in the early stages of cultivating the mind."
Once the mind and will reach the state of spiritual awareness, the mental illusions constructed by one's subconscious can no longer deceive oneself. The effect will be greatly reduced.
Qin Xu wasn't too surprised, after all, with only three points of good fortune, it was impossible to fully deduce a path to enlightenment that tempers the mind and will.
However, the Divine Realm already surpasses almost all the Title Douluos in this world.
As long as it's enough, that's fine.
The beginning is always the hardest. If Bibi Dong realizes the method of tempering the mind and will, perhaps she will be able to find the subsequent methods...
Without further thought, Qin Xu took a deep breath and began to visualize and contemplate.
In his first visualization, he visualized "hunger and thirst".
Soon, he forgot where he was and who he was.
When he opened his eyes again, he had become a farmer, lying on the path between the fields.
He was as thin as a bamboo pole, skin and bones, and hadn't eaten his fill for a week.
The sun hung high in the sky, scorching everything in its heat; his lips were cracked and his back was hunched.
I really want to drink water.
Hunger, when it reaches a certain level, can drive a person mad and cause them great suffering.
Qin Xu is currently in this situation; he only remembers one method that can free him from this suffering.
Thus, Qin Xu began to use the technique of illusory seven emotions to refine the mind.
His desire grew stronger, his hunger intensified, and he felt his stomach tremble and his throat burn...
Qin Xu didn't know how long he had held on; his will had long since become blurred, and when he awoke...
Immediately, he saw a figure as slender as a bamboo shoot, with long, wine-red hair draped behind her, staring at him.
Qin Xu subconsciously held his breath; Bibi Dong had long since given up. Although she had continued to wash and groom herself as usual for the past two weeks, she hadn't changed out of her blood-stained clothes, and Qin Xu dared not smell or ask about it.
Moreover, Qin Xu did not see her take off her boots, so it is speculated that the white socks covering her slender feet under her high heels had turned yellow.
Of course, high-level cultivators might not have any odor and might be spotless.
At this moment, Qin Xu realized that his mind seemed refreshed, cleansed, and incredibly satisfied.
Feeling relaxed and happy is one aspect, but another is that I'm a little more sensitive to my surroundings.
This is like a period of spiritual reflection after experiencing negative emotions. After being hungry for a while, one can feel incredibly relaxed and at ease after a period of mental cultivation.
This is because his mental strength is insufficient; if his mental strength were abundant, the effect would be better.
Before Bibi Dong could ask, Qin Xu said, "I've succeeded."
"???"
Bibi Dong's mood has been quite complicated these past few days, especially when she sees Qin Xu choose to suffer the corruption of Rakshasa's evil thoughts with her. Her mood fluctuates greatly.
She was always a hopeless romantic, and she used to dream about her ideal relationship. Now that Qin Xu had done so much for her, she was naturally overwhelmed with emotions and found it hard to stay calm.
She even found that her mood was improving slightly.
"Nonsense?" Bibi Dong asked.
"Are you questioning me?" Qin Xu retorted.
Quiet room.
On the sandalwood tea table, the teacups were as white as snow, and a delicate fragrance filled the air between the two people.
Bibi Dong said, "No."
You've been feeling really down lately.
"The past is sometimes like a dream or a drunken stupor; it's time to pick yourself up and face life anew." Qin Xu explained.
Life is like a flowing river, always rushing forward, never turning back. Your Majesty, to continue to dwell on what has already happened is not only to hold grudges against others, but also against yourself.
He had already figured out the reason for Bibi Dong's unusual behavior.
It must have been Yu Xiaogang's decision to take Tang San as his disciple that provoked her, making her feel betrayed. Then, she fought Tang Hao, which aggravated her injuries.
But Qin Xu didn't think it was a big deal; breakups in long-distance relationships are quite normal. Besides, the two of them were from very different social classes.
Bibi Dong reacted strongly to these words, her eyes suddenly sharpening with an intense and shocking hatred: "I don't care whether you let me go or not, I just can't swallow this anger. Do you think you can change my mind with just a few words?"
Sometimes, I even wish I could…
"I didn't intend to change those things, I just wanted to cheer you up a little," Qin Xu interrupted.
Bibi Dong breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out he was just trying to comfort her. But when she heard Qin Xu's next words, she immediately blushed.
"At least, Your Majesty hasn't changed your papal robes for two weeks. It's starting to affect your appearance and demeanor, and it smells a bit strong too."
So that's what he was focusing on. He wasn't trying to persuade her to give up on revenge... what a load of rubbish! That's what he was really concerned about.
Bibi Dong's toes gripped the soles of her boots tightly, and out of embarrassment, she even briefly broke free from the negative emotions brought on by the invasion of malicious thoughts.
She really wanted to say it. As a titled Douluo, she had already undergone a complete transformation. Her skin was as smooth as ice and as white as jade. Even if she didn't wash for a hundred days, she wouldn't have any body odor, and even her feet smelled sweet.
However, those who are titled Douluo generally pay attention to hygiene.
She used to wash herself every day when she had the means. It's just that her current situation is different.
Moreover, she was actually disliked. The other party expressed it in a tactful and polite way, and she didn't even realize it. But when she did realize it, she foolishly let the other party point it out.
"As for the wine, I'll get drunk and then I'll pick myself up again." Bibi Dong just wanted to shut Qin Xu up.
"I don't have any wine, but I do have something that can make you slightly tipsy." Qin Xu shook his head.
After speaking, Qin Xu took out an exquisite scroll, opened its pages, and placed it in front of Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong had a keen intuition and seemed to sense something in the darkness. A strange color gradually appeared on her beautiful face, which was as white as mutton fat jade.
Upon seeing it, she was deeply shocked. Her mouth gaped slightly, utterly astonished.
She didn't know if the records above were accurate, but the theory of mind and will was surprisingly logically sound and interconnected.
In particular, this "Seven Emotions Simulation Method for Refining the Mind" is very sophisticated and could not have been arbitrarily filled in.
This was a method that Qin Xu had specifically devised for her.
"This...does it really work?"
"It's effective, and it works quickly. You can use evil thoughts... or you can create an illusion. I recommend you choose hunger and fatigue. Although there will be some pain in the illusion, your mind will feel cleansed after the illusion ends. As long as you don't want to get caught up in a certain emotion, you can maintain it for several days..." Qin Xu explained.
Bibi Dong's heart raced a little, and she instantly focused her mind on it. Thinking that she could get rid of the evil thoughts, she immediately began to practice.
She immediately used the illusion of "hunger" to manipulate emotions and temper her mind and will.
Qin Xu felt it would be a waste not to use divine power to refine his heart, so he had Bibi Dong grant him some divine power.
Immediately afterward, Bibi Dong will go into seclusion.
Qin Xu felt that with Bibi Dong's mental strength, it might take her a long time to emerge from this illusionary realm.
He stopped bothering them and prepared to go find Tang San to explain things.
Because Tang San lives in a small town next to Notting City, he has to tell this matter in person.
Therefore, Qin Xu immediately took action.
Persuading Tang San was not easy.
Tang San harbored deep hatred for the Spirit Hall, but upon learning of the death of the previous Pope and Qin Xu's revelation that Bibi Dong was now in Notting City and that Ah Yin had a chance to be resurrected, he agreed to let go of his old grudges and cease his revenge.
Qin Xu knew that unless Ah Yin was resurrected, Tang San could not completely let go of his hatred, but this was the limit of what he could do.
On their way back to Nottingham, Qin Xu suddenly paused, then fell into deep thought.
"What's wrong, teacher?" Tang San sat on horseback, cultivating his physique and practicing martial arts.
The amount of soul power a soul master can increase each day through meditation is limited. Therefore, cultivating both martial arts and soul mastery simultaneously will not slow down a soul master's progress.
"It's nothing. Now that you've mastered martial arts, defeating your brother shouldn't be difficult," Qin Xu said.
Now that Tang Hao is no longer in Notting City, the threat from Tang San has been greatly reduced, and Yu Xiaogang no longer has Bibi Dong's protection. The balance of power between them has quietly shifted.
Tang San's spirits lifted, and his eyes gleamed with eager anticipation. He immediately asked, "When, Teacher?"
"Anytime is fine!"
While keeping an eye on Tang San, Qin Xu activated the Myriad Life Listening Heaven skill, listening to the commotion not far away.
