122: Chapter 122 We are a reputable and righteous sect

Chapter 122 We Are an Upright Sect

"Things like Meditation are indeed very beneficial for ordinary people to practice a little bit, but if you want to reach a deep level, there is a certain degree of danger."

"As for our sect's Visualization Technique, it can also be categorized under Meditation, except that due to some special reasons, the difficulty to Cultivate is beyond your imagination..."

Watching Fang Cheng's expression of listening with Focus, Ma Jianguo paused slightly in his tone.

After pondering for a moment, he further explained the doubts within to him:

"I told you before that if an ordinary person wants to possess power that transcends the mortal world and reach a Realm comparable to those monsters, they must go through physical and mental tempering and Cultivate, only then can they complete a true transformation."

"When we practice martial arts to strengthen our bodies on ordinary days, we only need to pay attention to combining work and rest, promptly replenishing nutrients, and avoiding Qi and blood deficiency. Basically, there won't be any major problems with the body."

For Taiwan novels, come to Super Reliable.

"Even if illness accumulates over time and injuries occur, you can gradually recover your body through treatment and recuperation, or you can choose to terminate your exercise and live out your remaining years as an ordinary person."

"However, mental Cultivate is different. Once you step into it, there is no turning back."

"For all the abnormal and dangerous situations you encounter, no outsiders can help you; the only thing you can rely on is your own willpower."

"During this Cultivate process, if your willpower suffers confusion or injury, there is no such thing as recuperating from injuries. In minor cases, you will suffer mental disorders and hallucinations; in severe cases, you will go mad and crazy, or even turn into a dementia patient."

Speaking up to this point, Ma Jianguo picked up his teacup and moistened his throat.

Seeing that Fang Cheng's eyes still held a hint of doubt, he spoke again:

"Think about it. After your physical fitness improves, you can clearly feel that your strength becomes greater, you run faster, and your stamina is more abundant."

"And what does it feel like after spiritual energy improves? The most obvious thing is that your hearing and vision become sharper, your eyes brighter, and your ears more sensitive."

"Then, as your spirit grows stronger, the things you see become increasingly subtle and complex, and the sounds you hear number in the tens of thousands, a chaotic mess. Your entire head gets stuffed with the information you usually ignore. Can you still maintain a sober state?"

Hearing Ma Jianguo say this, Fang Cheng suddenly came to a realization, instantly associating it with his own personal experience.

When his spirit attribute surpassed the 20-point limit, the massive enhancement of his five-sense perception indeed brought him a lot of convenience, as if he possessed superpowers.

But as it rose to 30 and 40 points, some unbearable abnormal conditions gradually began to appear, and he could feel that his emotions seemed easier to lose control of than before.

Ma Jianguo continued to explain:

"The spirit is a very peculiar and mysterious Domain. Some people painstakingly Cultivate for decades, and their progress is as slow as a crawling snail, while others are gifted with exceptional talent or encounter an Opportunity, achieving sudden enlightenment in a brief moment and undergoing an essential change."

"It can be said to be completely different from practicing martial arts and exercising the body. If there is not enough willpower and control method, having too high of a person's spiritual energy is actually not a good thing."

"And Meditation is the most common mental Cultivate method, which is why I was cautious and asked you to lay a solid foundation before considering learning the Visualization Technique."

Fang Cheng listened while nodding, having the feeling that hearing one of his words is better than reading books for ten years.

In his heart, he sighed with emotion that Teacher Ma was truly a generation Grandmaster and the Tai Chi Sect Head.

Afterwards, he gladly threw out a series of questions:

"Uncle Ma, you have practiced Qigong for decades, how high of a Realm have you reached in mental Cultivate?"

"Have you entered deep Meditation? As for the Realm after entering deep Meditation, are there any experiences you can talk about?"

"Cough, cough."

Ma Jianguo was drinking tea and seemed to have choked, coughing a few times continuously:

"The sun is very big today, the weather really looks great..."

Seeing the old man looking like he was evading the question, Fang Cheng thought he had some secrets that were inconvenient to tell.

So he followed up by shifting the topic, bringing up the matter of the Special Investigation Team that both he and Ma Donghe cared quite a bit about.

Upon hearing this, Ma Jianguo frowned, his expression becoming even more serious than before.

"A-Cheng, you should try to contact those guys less in the future."

Fang Cheng looked at him with puzzlement.

This time, Ma Jianguo did not keep secrets and spilled out all the truth he knew.

The so-called "Special Investigation Team", whose full name is the "Special Affairs Investigation Team", is a special organization subordinate to the National Security Department.

Its main responsibility is to take defensive measures and eradication actions with immense authority against supernatural events and monster-like powerful enemies that ordinary police forces cannot handle.

Because the nature of the mission is very special, the government cooperates with its actions, deliberately concealing the truth from the public, and outsiders naturally rarely get to understand it.

And for Ma Jianguo, the most important point was:

The predecessor of the Special Investigation Team developed based on the "National Martial Arts Gymnasium" created by the ancestors of the Ma Family.

The members belonging to it were also basically selected from physically strong Martial Artists and combat athletes.

It was just that later with the development of biopharmaceutical technology, those Martial Artists, in order to pursue a Breakthrough in their physical limits, adopted the method of taking drugs to strengthen their physical fitness, thereby embarking on a wicked path.

"In the future, if someone tries to win you over and tempts you with those potions, never agree."

Ma Jianguo solemnly admonished Fang Cheng in his tone:

"You must know that the path walked by our Martial Arts Research Association is the broad and smooth road. They are merely heterodox paths that have gone astray, and as the Legacy inheritors of an upright sect, we must maintain a principled standpoint distinction from them."

Listening to the old man righteously and sternly criticizing the officially-backed Special Investigation Team, Fang Cheng couldn't help feeling slightly startled.

Right at this moment, a loud cry came from inside the house:

"The dishes are up! Stop chatting, you guys can start eating!"

Seeing Ma Donghe and Chen Yingjun successively carrying out a few basins of steaming hot dishes from the kitchen and placing them on the round table in the hall one by one.

Fang Cheng and Ma Jianguo then walked into the house, exchanged polite words, and sat down according to host and guest.

"A-Cheng, try my Culinary Arts first and see how it is?"

Ma Donghe purposely turned the glass turntable, sending a plate of very fierce-looking hard dishes in front of Fang Cheng.

"This is deer antler stewed with tiger whip. For us Martial Artists, it is a great tonic, and it is usually very hard to eat."

Check them one by one without any errors!

Seeing this, Ma Jianguo also spoke a sentence of introduction, pointing out its preciousness.

Hearing this, Fang Cheng instantly gained an appetite, immediately picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of tiger whip, and put it into his mouth.

"How is it?"

Ma Donghe looked at Fang Cheng with a Face full of anticipation.

"Mn... Wu..."

Fang Cheng chewed carefully for a few bites, his Face showing an expression that was hard to put into words.

After a little deliberation, he commented: "How should I put it? It is quite authentic, and its value lies in being genuine."

Hearing this, Ma Donghe was overjoyed and immensely pleased with himself:

"Of course, the highest Realm of Culinary Arts is to retain the purest original taste of the ingredients!"

"A-Cheng, since you like eating it, you must eat more."

Afterwards, he enthusiastically introduced several other hard dishes:

"This is braised sheep whip, this is scallion-braised bull whip flower, this is softshell turtle rooster egg, and the most nourishing lobster stewed fur seal whip!"

"Hiss..."

Fang Cheng's gaze swept across the banquet, and he couldn't help drawing in a cold breath.

Good fellow, is this a Manchu-Han Full Whip banquet?

The dishes all over the table were bright in color and rich in fragrance, looking indeed quite decent.

Ma Jianguo smiled all over his Face, also picked up a pair of chopsticks, and prepared to properly taste his son's Culinary Arts.

Immediately following that, his expression changed slightly, and then he unostentatiously gulped down a mouthful of shaojiu to alleviate the gamey smell filling his mouth.

He turned his head and glanced at Fang Cheng, whose expression remained normal, and couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the guest had a relatively unique taste and seemed quite satisfied.

Although he didn't dare to compliment Ma Donghe's Culinary Arts, Fang Cheng still gave him plenty of Face, tasting a few bites of every dish.

After all, the ingredients were rare and hard to come by, so he would just treat it as replenishing nutrients for his body.

A family banquet was filled with exchanging cups and continuous laughter and cheerful voices.

Fang Cheng clinked glasses with Ma Donghe and Chen Yingjun to express his regards, and then stood up to return a glass of wine to Ma Jianguo.

Then, he calmly continued to enjoy the "Gourmet" dishes.

Suddenly, his gaze flashed, and a few prompt messages floated up before his eyes.
