Chapter 708: The Five Contemplations to Calm the Mind

"In the case of a fate ghost, it will form a violent state, greatly improving its strength. At least the fierce level can be transformed into the evil level."

"But the corresponding effect will be an overdraft."

Lu Xingshi watched the long-necked ghost chasing Ling Zheng away, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

The development was within expectations. After all, Ling Zheng was a fortune teller and had conflicts with the fortune ghosts. It was normal for him to be the first target of the long-necked fortune ghost.

The commotion they caused was quite a big one, and many people came out to watch the fun, but they were all a step too late. By the time they came to see, Ling Zheng had already led the long-necked ghost away.

Lu Xingshi entered Ling Zheng's rental house, did a simple search, and quickly found a copy of "The Five Contemplations to Calm the Mind". After flipping through it, he confirmed that it was the fortune teller's cultivation method.

However, although it is called a technique, it actually looks very strange. He discovered that the book "Five Contemplations to Calm the Mind" did not seem to be the one Ling Zheng used to practice to become a fortune teller.

Mainly because its behavior is not in line with the rules.

After writing down the contents, Lu Xingshi put them back to their original place. After dealing with all traces of his presence, he left Ling Zheng's house.

Knowledge is something that you just need to write down, there is no need to take it away.

On the way back, Lu Xingshi kept thinking about the situation of the "Five Contemplations to Calm the Mind".

This practice is divided into two parts, namely observation and cessation, with a total of five levels. If you complete the first three observations and three cessations, you can manifest your destiny and become a true fortune teller.

If one completes all the five contemplations and five cessations, although one cannot become a great fortune teller, one is only a step away from becoming one. If one has enough talent and hard work, plus a bit of luck, it is not impossible to become a great fortune teller.

But just take this as a passing remark and don't take it seriously. It's like the richest man talking to you about his experience. The experience they can use is of no use to ordinary people.

Those who are able to establish a school of thought usually have abilities and talents far exceeding those of ordinary people.

When they say it's simple, it means it's simple for them, not for ordinary people.

"The observation part is the description of fate, and the cessation part is the understanding of fate."

“In general, it is about recognizing your destiny and projecting it.”

“This is the fortune teller.”

Lu Xingshi quickly understood the fortune teller's system, but there was a problem, that is, the great fortune teller's explanation seemed to be missing.

"So what does it mean to be separated by only a piece of paper?"

Since you didn't write about how to become a great destiny master, it's a bit strange to write this in the exercises.

"Could it be that the story was passed down by word of mouth?" Lu Xingshi suddenly thought of this possibility.

The gap between a fortune teller apprentice and a formal fortune teller must be huge compared to a great fortune teller.

If Lu Xingshi wants to see the real difference, he has to meet a real fortune teller.

"But can I integrate the fortune teller system into my great sage body?" Lu Xingshi's idea is very good, but there is a problem involved.

That is whether he has such a thing as destiny.

First of all, it can be confirmed that when he came to this world, he did not use the fortune teller system, but the professional system.

It is equivalent to one being a turn-based game and the other being an idle game, and the two have different operating modes.

In addition, Lu Xingshi transformed himself and became a third type of shooting game.

So it is no longer a question of compatibility or not, but a question of whether it can be used.

"Theoretically, there should be. After all, I am the Son of Destiny, and my fate should be similar to the lower level of destiny."

"I have it in my Great Saint Body. Theoretically there is no problem, but in practice it may be very troublesome to activate it."

Destiny has long become a part of the Great Sage's body. If one wants to activate the destiny, it would probably have to be independent, rather than being taken out of the Great Sage's body.

The food you eat can be spit out, but it has already been digested and turned into nutrients. If you want to pull it out again, it is possible but it will be quite troublesome.

“I just don’t know if it’s worth it.”

Through the data, Lu Xingshi quickly analyzed that he could do it, but he didn't know whether the benefits and costs of doing so were justified.

Don't let yourself be weakened instead of gaining an advantage, as that would be a huge loss.

There is no problem in integrating into the body of the Great Sage, but it does not necessarily mean that you will gain a positive boost.

The main reason is that the fortune teller's fighting style is more like that of a summoner, and the summoned fate beasts have self-awareness.

The last point is what Lu Xingshi is worried about. After all, he is not worried about the summoner, but about the summoned beast doing bad things.

Besides, he doesn't need a summoned beast to hold him back.

It is true that the Great Sage's body is a cursed version, but he will not lose to his fate in battle.

"Unless I can add the battle power of my destiny to my body...wait, isn't this the Great Destiny Master?"

Lu Xingshi suddenly reacted. According to Qi Han's description, the great fortune teller did not need to summon the fate chart and could use the power of the fate chart himself.

This means that the great fortune teller turns the power of fate into his own power, making himself no longer as fragile as the fortune teller.

If we talk about the biggest weakness of the fortune teller system, it must be the fortune teller himself. The fate is very magical and has various different abilities. And as long as the fortune teller is not dead, the fate can recover even if it is severely damaged or even dead.

However, if death really occurs, the fortune teller himself will also suffer backlash.

"So the great fortune teller is a fortune teller who has solved the shortcomings of fortune tellers themselves?" When Lu Xingshi thought of this, he felt that the shortcomings of the fortune teller system were reduced a lot.

"There must be more than these. Otherwise, how do we deal with the higher levels of evil and disaster?"

The Great Master of Destiny may have more abilities than what Lu Xingshi guessed.

Unconsciously, Lu Xingshi returned to his home. In his mind, he was deducing the fortune teller's system and integrating it into the body of the Great Sage, while at the same time he was trying to observe his own destiny through the "Five Mind Contemplations Book".

"Now the question is, this thing that looks like a demon and a Kun and is mixed with golden light must be my fate."

"How should I describe this thing? It's like a dreadlord who believes in the Holy Light, or a succubus paladin, something that goes against common sense."

Lu Xingshi sighed, and the ferocious Xinghe Kun, who had been cursed, was shining with the light of destiny.

That sense of contradiction made Lu Xingshi feel a little overwhelmed. If his fate really became like this, he would be in trouble.

Others are either mighty tigers or strange red costumes, but Lu Xingshi is simply a pervert who does stitching.

Not only is this unsightly, but because of the conflicting attributes, it cannot enhance itself, but will instead be greatly weakened.

It's like first adding fire attribute to a weapon and then adding ice attribute. It can't become combustible ice. The two enchantments will conflict and become ineffective.

Even if one enchantment is stronger than the other, it will only weaken the former and make the latter ineffective.

This is the complicated fate of Lu Xingshi at this time.

"It should be because I devoured the source demon."

Kun and the golden light represent the Son of Destiny, while the demon and the curse both come from the source demon. After being merged into one, they became this strange appearance.

"Either abandon one or further smelt it?" Lu Xingshi was thinking about the second possibility in his mind.

Lu Xingshi would only consider giving up one if there was really no way out.

What he meant by giving up was naturally giving up his destiny master. How could he possibly give up the alien demon or destiny? You must know that these two are the cornerstones of his construction of the Great Sage's body. If one part of it is missing, it will collapse directly.

The most likely outcome at that time would be his death.

Lu Xingshi would naturally not choose to give up a system that already suits him just because of uncertain resources. This would simply be picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

"It's not impossible. For example, Buddha and devil are one, or Buddha and Ming Wang, or Yin and Yang."

It's not that there is a way, it's just that it's a bit difficult.

"Combined with the 'Five Contemplations to Calm the Mind', it should reduce some of the difficulty."

"It's just that I need more cultivation techniques from the life master to be able to perfect it more."

Lu Xingshi knew that he would need to contact more fortune tellers next, and this would require channels.

Unfortunately, what Lu Xingshi lacked was exactly such a channel.

He was new to this federation era and the people he knew were very limited.

...

"This life ghost is so strong that I was almost beaten to death by him." Ling Zheng said breathlessly, with obvious injuries on his body. It was obvious that killing this long-necked life ghost cost him a heavy price.

"Now is not the time to rest. If you don't want to stop at being a fortune teller, then let your fate devour the fate ghost as soon as possible before it disappears, and use the 'Fate Diagram of Gods Subduing Demons' that I taught you to refine it into fate ink." The voice of the great fortune teller came.

"Okay, I... I'll do it right away." Ling Zheng endured the discomfort and controlled the bright red costume to start devouring the long-necked ghost.

"I'm doing this for your own good. If you want to become a great fortune teller, you must have enough fortune ink to draw a fortune chart on your fortune grid. Only then can you truly control your fortune grid and make it a part of you."

"However, life ink can only be obtained through a life ghost. There is no other way around it." The great life master said helplessly. Ling Zheng was still too weak. He was just a fierce-level life ghost, even if this life ghost could be compared to the evil level for unknown reasons.

"Being a fortune teller is just the beginning. Only a great fortune teller who possesses a fortune map can see the real world."

"If you want to become stronger, the destiny map is the key. When you become a great destiny master, you will find that destiny ink is never enough."

“So if you can accumulate as much as you can now, try to accumulate as much as possible.” The great fortune teller told Ling Zheng about his own experience.

“We make the fate ghost into fate ink to make it stronger. If the fate ghost kills the fate master, they…” Ling Zheng did not finish his question.

The great fortune teller answered his question first: "The fate ghost will devour our fate and fate map, and then become stronger."

"Not all fate ghosts are so powerful when they are born. Many of them grow up by killing fate masters."

After hearing the answer, Ling Zheng fell silent. The relationship between the fortune teller and the fortune ghost was so cruel, with them being hunter and prey to each other.

No wonder the two are entangled, each needs the other to become stronger.
