Chapter 163 The Way of Immortal Cultivation
Five days later.

Liu Xing was sitting on the floor of the reading room, holding the novel "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and reading it engrossed.

The temperature in the room was very comfortable. However, Liu Xing was already sweating profusely. Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead one drop after another, and the collar of his jacket was already more than half soaked.

A super thought storm is going on in his mind!

In order to win "Legend of Sword and Fairy", he is trying to transform the text of the novel into pictures, but the pictures of Xianxia novels are thousands of times more complicated than ordinary novels, which is a huge challenge to the brain.

From one o'clock in the morning to now, Liu Xing has been reading continuously for more than six hours. As time went by, he felt more and more strenuous, feeling like he was at the end of his rope.

After reading so many novels, it was the first time that he felt that his imagination was lacking.

Gritting his teeth and persisting for more than an hour, Liu Xing's brain power had been exhausted to the extreme, and finally he couldn't hold on anymore and stopped.

"call--"

At the moment when he put down the novel, Liu Xing breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling relieved.

After resting for a while, he checked the novel's information again.

[Book Title] "Legend of Sword and Fairy"

【Type】Xian Xia Novels (Stream of Consciousness)
【Grade】Four-star
[Matching degree] 21.4%
Liu Xing shook his head helplessly, the matching rate was still 21.4%, without any improvement.

He has been reading "Legend of Sword and Fairy" for five consecutive days, and the reading time exceeds 10 hours a day. However, these efforts have not seen any return, and the matching degree has never changed.

He tried to win "Legend of Sword and Fairy" time and time again, but unfortunately all ended in failure.

The key to reading skills lies in imagination.It is not enough to have only imagination, but also requires a certain knowledge reserve, that is, the material of imagination.

The essence of imagination is combination. Since it is a combination, it needs materials for combination.

It's the same with cooking.

Make bricks without straw.No matter how skilled a chef is, he can't make a dish without ingredients.

In the same way, no matter how good a person's imagination is, if he does not have certain imaginative materials, it is also impossible for him to imagine anything.

For example, to imagine a beauty, you need to accumulate a certain amount of beauty material.If you have never seen a beautiful woman, it is difficult to imagine a beautiful woman out of thin air.
Different novels require different imaginative materials.

The more mysterious the novel, the more imaginative material it needs.

If the amount of imaginary material required for a martial arts novel is 1, then the amount of imaginary material required for a fairy tale novel may be tens of billions or even more.

It is precisely because the amount of knowledge required by Xianxia novels is extremely large and vast, Liu Xing is so strenuous when using reading skills.

"It seems that the amount of knowledge I have accumulated in my mind is not enough to imagine a complete fairy world."

Liu Xing thought to himself: What kind of knowledge or materials do we need to accumulate if we want to imagine a fairy world?
When Shuyan checked "Legend of Sword and Fairy", it showed that this novel had "stream of consciousness" in it, Liu Xing couldn't help being a little skeptical, could the imaginary material he lacked be the knowledge of stream of consciousness?

In the past few days, Liu Xing wanted to find some textbooks about stream of consciousness to study and study, but he searched all over the library of Bohai Book City, but couldn't find any relevant books.

Most of the scholars in Tianhai City study the stream of characters or the stream of plots, but not one in a million learns the stream of consciousness. Therefore, bookstores in Tianhai City generally do not sell textbooks on stream of consciousness.

However, there is one place where there may be stream-of-consciousness books—Wang Tairan's library.

Wang Tairan has studied reading for more than 80 years, and he should have been exposed to novels of the consciousness genre more or less.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing immediately got up and left the room, heading to the Lantian community.

……

Lantian Community, Wang Tairan's bedroom library.

There are three rows of bookshelves in the library, most of which are equipped with anti-theft systems and are in a closed state. It is impossible for ordinary people to take books from the bookshelves.

Liu Xing is an exception.

Before Wang Tairan went to Wanxing Mountain, he gave Liu Xing the key to the library.

He took out a bunch of keys, successfully opened a bookshelf, checked it, and found that almost all of the books in it were star novels.

These novels are valuable, but unfortunately they are not what Liu Xing needs at the moment.
Turn around and walk to the second row of bookshelves.

This row of bookshelves is filled with the theory of novels. With a glance, the titles of the books that catch the eye are: "Introduction to the Training of Thinking Space", "The Hidden Dimensions of Characters in Text Summoning Structure", "Plot Structure and Blank Points", "New School Combination Theory", " Discrete Reading Psychology", "Tian's Dimension Linguistics"...

Most of these books are related to reading skills. After checking more than 100 titles, Liu Xing still couldn't find the books he needed.

"what is this?"

At this time, in the corner of the bookshelf, Liu Xing found a stack of thick manuscripts, took it out and saw that the name of the manuscript was "General Introduction to Modern Reading Techniques-Analysis of the Attributes of Novel Genres".

"Analysis of novel genre attributes?"

Seeing these words, Liu Xing's eyes lit up. This should be the material he needs.

When he was overjoyed, his peripheral vision shifted down, and he was stunned for a moment, only to see four words written on the bottom of the cover of the manuscript——Qishaoke!

This manuscript was actually written by the book king Xiaoyaoke!

Many professional courses of the School of Fiction are classified as confidential and are not allowed to be leaked, and they cannot be bought in the market at all.As for the tutorial written by Shuwang Xiaoyaoke, it is a secret among secrets, and it is not accessible to ordinary people.

Wang Tairan is a student of Qashqai, so he was lucky enough to get this copy of "General Introduction to Modern Reading Skills-Analysis of the Attributes of Novel Genres".

Judging from the publication time of the manuscript, this manuscript was written 37 years ago, and it mainly discusses the differences and connections between the reading skills of the four major novel schools in China.

Liu Xing was in need of this knowledge, so he took the manuscript away.

……

In the next three days, Liu Xing devoted himself to studying "General Introduction to Modern Reading Techniques——Analysis of the Attributes of Novel Genres".

This manuscript is worthy of being written by the king of books. After reading it, many questions about reading skills in Liu Xing's mind were easily solved.

He finally understood why he couldn't get into "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Huaxia Kingdom's novels are divided into four major genres, namely, the stream of characters, the stream of plots, the stream of settings, and the stream of consciousness.

Every novel belongs to a certain genre.

For example, "Dragon Babu" takes the creation of distinctive characters as the core of its creation, and it belongs to the flow of characters.

"Detective Wang Nan" mainly tells about complicated and confusing cases, and it belongs to the plot flow.

Different genres of novels require different genres of reading skills, and at the same time, they require different imaginative materials.

The situation of Xianxia novels is a bit special, it has the characteristics of multiple genres at the same time.

Xianxia novels not only have the characteristics of human flow, but also have the elements of plot flow, and at the same time have the attribute of stream of consciousness
In this way, in order to enter the fairy tale novels, one needs to have the reading skills of various genres of novels, and at the same time, one needs to accumulate various imaginative materials.

Only by gathering the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought, embracing all rivers, and becoming a master of novel theory, can it be possible to enter the fairy tale novel.

For example, if you compare ecstasy novels to cooking.
Obsessing over a personal logistics novel is equivalent to cooking a piece of meat.

Obsessing over a plot-flow novel is equivalent to cooking a vegetable.

Obsessed with a stream of consciousness novel is equivalent to preparing a seasoning.

Then, entering into a fairy tale novel is equivalent to making a big table full of Chinese people.

With Liu Xing's current ability, he still can't make a full banquet of Han and Han, because he doesn't have enough ingredients.

The ingredients are the material of his imagination, his knowledge reserve, or experience.

If he wants to get into fairy tale novels, Liu Xing needs to enrich his knowledge base and read more novels of different genres.

Every time a novel is absorbed in, his knowledge reserve will increase by one point.

After being fascinated by various genres of novels, Liu Xing's knowledge reserve reaches a certain level, and he has enough imaginative materials. At that time, he may have the ability to enter the novels of fairy tales.

"It seems that if you want to get into the fairy tale novels, you need to get into other types of novels."

Thinking about these problems, Liu Xing's thinking suddenly became clear.

With his current ability, even if he read "Legend of Sword and Fairy" for 1 years, it is impossible to be enthralled.

In the world of immortals, those who cultivate immortals need to go through many tribulations, see all kinds of worlds, taste the warmth and coldness of the world, and go through the six reincarnations. The whole process is extremely long for thousands of years, or even longer.

In the long career of cultivating Taoism, the cultivator is actually enriching his own experience, so as to achieve the realm of the unity of man and nature, understand the principles of all things in the universe, and transcend the mortal womb.

Liu Xing also needs to have sufficient experience if he wants to enter the fairy tale novel.

It's just that his way of enriching his experience is quite special - reading novels.

Ordinary cultivators need to travel thousands of miles; but Liu Xing needs to read thousands of novels.
By reading novels of different genres and categories, he can inherit one life experience after another.Every time a novel is engrossed, he can transplant other people's decades of life experience, and the efficiency is dozens of times higher than that of ordinary immortal cultivators, or even more.

As long as he has read enough novels and accumulated enough experience, Liu Xing will be able to imagine a complete world of fairy tales, and entering fairy tales will become a matter of course.
Before, Liu Xing had read novels of the genre of characters and novels of the genre of plot, but he had not read novels of the genre of consciousness.

He once found several works of the genre of consciousness from the third book coffin, and the one with the highest matching degree was "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword" written by Gu Long.

According to the theory of Shuwang Xiaoyaoke, if Liu Xing can get absorbed in "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword", he can accumulate some imaginative materials of the genre of consciousness, and by then, the matching degree of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" will also increase accordingly.

It is an extremely long journey of exploration to enter the fairy tale novel, but if it can be successful, then all the efforts are worthwhile.
Therefore, Liu Xing decided to give it a try...
