Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits-Chapter 135 - 105, Heart Refining Method

"Oh?"

The middle-aged man sized up Lin Qing and suddenly laughed.

The next moment, the Quiet Room, which had been filled with students arranged in their seats, saw all the students looking at Lin Qing with surprised expressions vanish like soap bubbles.

In the blink of an eye, only Lin Qing and the middle-aged man in front of him remained in the Quiet Room.

Lin Qing glanced at the empty Quiet Room and couldn’t help but sigh, "So it is indeed so. I haven’t been able to notice it for so many days..."

After becoming the owner of Chuanxing Tower, on his first day attending the mind meditation class, Chen Guang had noticed that all the surrounding students were just hallucinations. In fact, the whole Quiet Room only contained him and this middle-aged man.

Therefore, it was clear that the other party had come for him.

But since it was Zhao Jiayi who had referred him and the other party had always been kind, and it was his last day there, he naturally wanted to get things clear.

"Don’t blame Jiayi."

The middle-aged man smiled, "This mind meditation class was my idea to tell her about, she’s just a silly child."

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

After half a year of getting to know her, he naturally understood what Zhao Jiayi was like.

The middle-aged man didn’t ask how Lin Qing had figured it out and just said softly, "I had no other intention, just wanted to meet Jiayi’s friend."

"What is your relationship to Jiayi?" Lin Qing asked.

"I am naturally her father," the middle-aged man said with a light smile.

An Extraterrestrial too? Lin Qing thought to himself.

"You’re leaving Lin’an City and I’m about to leave as well."

The middle-aged man spoke softly, "Jiayi trusts you, her only friend, very much, and as a father, I wanted to meet you. These days purifying your mind as a form of introduction."

"It’s very useful, thank you," Lin Qing said.

"I’ve never been very good at being a father," the middle-aged man sighed, "Now that I’m about to leave, let me offer you a bit of advice and a gift."

Advice and a gift?

Lin Qing looked at him.

At least... his Order Level hadn’t changed.

"Try not to expose Jiayi’s identity as a Telekinesis Awakener," the middle-aged man said, "She is a pitiful child, born to endure the trampling of fate, and her life might be short. I hope you can treat her kindly."

Lin Qing was somewhat confused by what he was saying.

"This gift, consider it my recompense,"

Out of nowhere, the middle-aged man produced a thick book and a scroll, handing them to Lin Qing.

"This book is a dictionary I compiled," the middle-aged man said warmly, "Once you’ve learned the text in this dictionary, you can begin to attempt this Heart Refining Method."

Lin Qing looked at the dictionary and scroll in his hands with some surprise.

A dictionary? The Heart Refining Method?

Could it be... the language and script of Zhao Jiayi’s civilization?

"The entrance to this Heart Refining Method may be somewhat troublesome, but constancy will always lead to success,"

the middle-aged man advised softly, "Even just beginning it would be of great help to you. As for whether you can truly succeed in cultivation... that will be up to you."

As he spoke, he paused, "If you do manage to cultivate successfully, you could try the method at the end of this Heart Refining Method scroll. It should be greatly beneficial to you but... after you’ve learned it, make sure to destroy the scroll."

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and then asked, "Jiayi mentioned she has a genetic disease, what is that about?"

"Telling you won’t make a difference," the middle-aged man sighed, "It is a genetic virus rooted deep within our bloodline, and its purpose is ’selection.’"

He spoke slowly, "Unless it is someone of the same kin or an outsider meeting the criteria, getting too close to others will cause us great pain."

"Meeting the criteria?" Lin Qing looked at him.

"The criteria are... to be born with a soul strength far beyond ordinary people, and to have a closely aligned soul faction," the middle-aged man said.

Lin Qing was startled.

He didn’t understand what a soul was, but being a man from a century ago who had lived an extra life, perhaps his soul truly did surpass an ordinary person’s.

"As for other things..."

The middle-aged man slowly shook his head, "It’s up to Jiayi’s choice."

...

Zhao Jiayi’s father had already left the Quiet Room.

Lin Qing sat cross-legged in the empty Quiet Room, looking at the dictionary and the scroll in his hands, deep in thought.

"Master, Zhao Jiayi’s father is definitely a Telekinesis Awakener, but I can’t detect his strength," Chen Guang’s voice echoed in his mind, "You could start by looking at the dictionary, I’ll back it up for you, otherwise keeping an Extraterrestrial Civilization’s dictionary like this could be big trouble if discovered."

Lin Qing hummed in acknowledgement and immediately opened the dictionary, flipping through it at a glance.

Of course, with his current memory, even with techniques like those employed by Memory Masters, this skimming couldn’t be remembered instantly.

After all, the dictionary was very thick and, in contrast with Chinese, its contents were very intricate.

Lin Qing was just doing a general overview, as now it was only short-term memory. To turn it into semantic and long-term memory, he still needed some time to become familiar.

After he had gone through it completely, only twenty minutes had passed.

"This language and script are very systematic and specific with a very high degree of perfection,"

Chen Guang said, "Some characters even look a bit like those of the Intelligent Star People’s script. It feels like there might be some connection... it’s hard to say for others, but the civilization’s cultural heritage must be profound. I wonder what kind of civilization it is."

Lin Qing was thoughtful.

But there was no need to ponder too much, it was better to learn it first.

"Order."

He called out to Entropy in his mind and found that ’Mastery of special Outer World Civilization language and script’ had appeared as an item that could be advanced.
