Under One Person: I can manipulate magnetic fields!

I remember that every sorcerer knows the Qimen Manifestation Technique; it's a valuable tool, a kind of observation method that allows you to see hidden information in the world!

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, setting his sights on the Qimen Manifestation Technique on the evil immortal's body.

The Qimen Manifestation Mind Method is characterized by its ability to enhance the sensory abilities of living beings, enabling them to receive all the information contained in the concrete existence of this world, whether in terms of vision, hearing, smell, touch, or even the perception of turbulence!

This ability allows users to perceive their surroundings and objects more comprehensively.

It played a significant role in his development of "Reversing the Eight Directions".

Chapter 10: A First Attempt!

"Let's go back to class first. If Mr. Xu complains to my cheap old man, with my current Qi cultivation level, it will take several days for this butt to recover."

Chen Yuan shook off the distracting thoughts in his head and then stepped into the school.

The children in the school were reading English from their textbooks, the purple covers of which were written in traditional Chinese characters: “Kaiming First English Reader”.

As a time traveler, watching these kids learn these things is indeed a bit boring.

The children were also chattering away, clearly very curious about where Chen Yuan had gone to skip class.

"Children are bound to be mischievous at times, but Chen Yuan seems like a little adult. Sometimes he's naughty and mischievous, it's really hard to understand!"

Mr. Xu looked at Chen Yuan, who had returned to his seat and was "all serious," and felt somewhat helpless.

Chen Yuan was the most unique child he had ever met. His behavior was quite mature, but he always liked to skip class and go out. He didn't know what he was doing.

"I hope this child can study hard and save the country and its people in the future. The Reform Movement failed, and this country seems utterly corrupt. Perhaps a new force is needed to overthrow it all. I just don't know if Mr. Sun's Three Principles of the People are correct, or..."

Mr. Xu frowned slightly.

As someone who had studied abroad, he naturally came into contact with many progressive ideas and people, who had different views on the current situation and shared similar ideals.

As he came into contact with more and more people, although he had some inclination towards the Three Principles of the People, he felt that another set of theories was more suitable for the rapidly changing society of this era.

"Chen Yuan, where have you been? You're all soaked."

A chubby boy with a round face sitting next to Chen Yuan looked up and asked in a low voice.

He was naturally afraid of being discovered by Mr. Xu, because Mr. Xu was extremely strict. Even though he liked Chen Yuan, he never hesitated to discipline Chen Yuan with a ruler.

"I went for a stroll around Lingyin Temple and accidentally fell into the river."

Chen Yuan smiled slightly.

The chubby boy in front of me comes from a fairly well-off family. Or rather, in this era, those who can go to school are mostly from families with good financial conditions, while those from poor families are a minority.

"Lingyin Temple? Hehe, the vegetarian food there is quite good, but my dad always donates a lot of money to those monks. It's such a waste. That money could buy me countless candied hawthorns."

The chubby boy muttered something.

"Isn't your father always a devout believer at Lingyin Temple? That's normal."

Chen Yuan smiled.

What is a believer?

Naturally, this is the term used by both Buddhism and Taoism to refer to devout believers. Among these believers are quite wealthy individuals. Their donations to these Buddhist and Taoist temples and monasteries are not only for their faith but also, presumably, for the protection of that extraordinary person.

His adoptive father knew quite a few extraordinary people, which is probably how he got his knowledge.

Sects like the Sanyi Sect, the Celestial Master's Mansion, and the Shaolin Temple have a large following. Zuo Ruotong once said that practitioners need wealth, companions, methods, and a suitable place for cultivation.

Without money, there are many inconveniences in spiritual practice.

After Zhang Huaiyi, that big-eared scoundrel, lost his family, he was able to amass a small fortune thanks to donations from the believers of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

"That's what I say, but I'm reluctant to part with that money. I'm going to inherit my father's business in the future."

The chubby boy spoke with conviction.

"Does this guy not know about superhumans? It seems his father never showed him their abilities. That money was basically just hiring a bodyguard."

Chen Yuan silently complained.

However, he had a very fruitful day.

I learned breathing techniques and stance training from Wang Yaozu, as well as the basic method of reversing the eight directions.

He can now mobilize the Qi within his body and convert it into a "magnetic field".

"Mr. Xu also said that I should study on my own. Anyway, most of what he teaches is within the knowledge range of a college student like me, so there is no need to listen carefully."

Let's try out the effect of reversing it in eight directions first!

Chen Yuan took out a blue pebble he had picked up from the Bixi Bridge from his pocket, and began to concentrate his Qi, focusing it all in his palm.

Instantly, colorless and transparent Qi condensed in his palm like water droplets. This Qi was the true Qi formed by the fusion of his innate Qi and acquired Qi.

The primordial energy is something a person is born with; it is present from birth. However, it gradually dissipates over time, and eventually, when the primordial energy dissipates, the person naturally ceases to exist.

Acquired Qi is transformed from substances such as grains and cereals. Although the quality of this Qi is not as high as that of innate Qi, it can still nourish innate Qi and merge with innate Qi to form true Qi.

These true qi are formed by acquired cultivation methods; they are an abstract form of energy. Each sect has different cultivation methods, which in turn create different true qi.

Like the Golden Light Mantra of Longhu Mountain, it is flexible and versatile, capable of protecting oneself from enemies and also transforming true qi into form to attack them.

In this respect, the purely defensive protective method of the Escape Light is slightly inferior to the Golden Light Spell.

"Phew, following that incantation, convert this Qi into magnetic force!"

Chen Yuan focused his mind, and the colorless and transparent Qi instantly transformed into a circular force field, which could easily change shape according to his will.

Gently enveloping the blue pebble, directing the magnetic field upwards, I lifted it from my palm.

"This ability is indeed quite similar to telekinesis. However, telekinesis should directly envelop an object and exert power from the outside, allowing for free control. It's simple and brutal."

This inversion, however, is even more ingenious; it alters the trajectory of an object by changing the direction of force. It can even apply a force from within.

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

The mental power of a naturally gifted person is like an invisible giant hand that can lift and throw objects. If applied to a relatively weak object, it can also crush it from the outside, just like squeezing a Coke can.

The reverse eight directions achieve both; it can not only lift and throw objects, but also act on the inside of objects, using the forces inside the objects, such as gravity, to reverse the direction of the force and destroy them from the inside.

If the inverted eight directions were applied directly to the human body's fragile internal organs, the destructive power would be estimated to be extremely astonishing.

"Hey? Chen Yuan, what kind of magic trick is that?"

The chubby boy sitting next to Chen Yuan was immediately stunned.

On Chen Yuan's small palm, a blue pebble suddenly floated up into the air.

"I just learned this from an old man today, it's called 'Reversing the Eight Directions'! It's just an illusion, don't be surprised."

Chen Yuan removed the force field that had reversed the eight directions, and the blue pebble fell back into his palm.

The Qi in his body is still too little; even if it is reversed in all directions, it cannot circulate for very long.

"An illusion? That's amazing."

The chubby boy couldn't help but mutter.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a magic trick.

Chapter 11 Monk Jiekong?

"It's just a magic trick, a deceptive scheme."

Chen Yuan waved his hand dismissively.

Anyway, the chubby guy didn't know the methods of the superhumans, so arguing back and forth wouldn't be a big deal.

However, he also realized that his cultivation level was still far from sufficient to support the operation of the magnetic field, and he had only just used the Reversal of Eight Directions technique for a short while.

He has consumed more than half of his true qi, so it seems he needs to work hard to increase the total amount of qi in his body.

He now understands the basic principle of reversing the eight directions, which is the operation of the human magnetic field.

The way a human magnet influences the outside world is by creating a special field around themselves and manipulating the direction of the force within that field. That field ignores the spread of any medium; one can only avoid it by relying on the subtle clues within the field or the faint but distorted sense of force when the field approaches.

Therefore, it is extremely well concealed from the enemy. As a result, when the bald man was lifted into the air by Old Man Wang, he did not react at all, because this move was so insidious that it was impossible to detect.

Moreover, once enveloped by the field and not removed in time, the part within the magnetic field will be distorted by the user.

"Unfortunately, I've only just attained Qi, and my cultivation is still insufficient to expand the range and strength of my magnetic field. Ordinary people can easily break free with a little effort. If my force field were strong enough, I should be able to lift people into the air as easily as Ghost Hand King. Dealing with that big guy should be a piece of cake!"

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Fortunately, the agreed time was two and a half years later, and he had only recently attained Qi, so he could cultivate slowly.

Before that, he still needs to hone his skills and complete the foundation-building process.

"By the way, Brother Yuan, speaking of Lingyin Temple, I remember a few days ago when I went there with my dad and saw a strange little monk. The little monk had bloodshot eyes and looked a bit scary!"

And that young monk actually sent a senior monk flying! It gave me quite a fright! Lingyin Temple is really a bit eerie!

The chubby boy scratched his forehead and then said.

"A little monk with bloodshot eyes? Damn it, could it be Monk Jiekong? But Monk Jiekong has a kind face, so it shouldn't be like that. His disciple Xiao Zizai is a madman."

Chen Yuan was slightly taken aback.

Moreover, logically speaking, Jie Kong is a disciple of Shaolin Temple. Although he will become the abbot of Lingyin Temple in the future, it is impossible for him to arrive at Lingyin Temple so quickly.

Speaking of Shaolin Temple's Seventy-Two Arts, they are quite impressive. Skills like the Dragon Claw Hand, the Flower-Picking Finger, and the Great Compassion Hand are extremely powerful. The only drawback is that you have to become a monk to master them.

However, it would be better to return to secular life, just like Xiao Zizai.

"Speaking of Xiao Zi, this pervert who likes to turn people into 'lamb spines,' his master, the monk Jie Kong, should also be someone you could meet in this era, and he should be about my age, although I don't know his exact age."

When the monk Jiekong got old, he had a kind and benevolent face, but I wonder what he was like when he was young. Could he have been a pervert like Xiao Zi? So, could the chubby boy really have encountered Jiekong?

Chen Yuan couldn't help but feel curious.

Because Jie Kong's disciples are all hot-tempered, and Xiao Zizai is a murderous psychopath like Hannibal Lecter, perhaps Jie Kong was the same when he was young, which is why he wanted to redeem these people.

Of course, this was just his wild guess.

"And I wonder if the Yinghe Tower is open now?"

Chen Yuan's thoughts shifted again.

I'm quite looking forward to the future.
