Chapter 673 The Magical Cultivation Method
These ancient texts of the SA Guild were all buried by Matthew years ago in the secret room of the Wilson Villa. If everything was arranged by Matthew, then both the Body Fortifying pill and this bizarre body refining technique that requires guessing from pictures must be related to him!
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Ethan lost in thought, Francis couldn't help but frown and ask.
"Nothing, let's find a place to study this book properly!" Ethan waved the ancient text in his hand and said to Francis.
"You stay here and study slowly. I'll head back to Breeze Pavilion. Call me if you need anything!" Francis said, then left Literati Tower alone.
Ethan simply moved to a vacant area, found a spot to sit down, and began to carefully study the ancient text in his hand.
Starting from the first acupoint diagram, Ethan meticulously examined every detail, forcing himself to imprint it firmly in his mind.
Although he couldn't guarantee anything else, even though he didn't recognize those strange characters, he could remember the illustrations and the appearance of the characters as if photocopying them into his mind!
Soon, Ethan discovered that the meridian operation diagrams and the strange movements depicted later were actually interconnected. When practicing those odd movements, one had to operate their own super energy according to the requirements to achieve the training effect!
Half-understanding, Ethan decided to try it out and see for himself!
So, Ethan followed the illustrations in the ancient text, assuming a very strange cross-legged posture, with his hands twisted behind him as if they were broken.
After doing all this, Ethan felt like his bones were about to fall apart, and his face hurt so much it was almost deformed!
But just as Ethan gritted his teeth and operated his super energy according to the meridian operation diagram, something magical happened!
He was surprised to find that the excruciating pain he had just felt disappeared instantly, and he seemed to enter a very mysterious state, feeling extremely comfortable!
Unconsciously, Ethan emptied his mind and completely immersed himself in that peculiar sensation, as if time had stopped.
He didn't know how long it had been, but Ethan gradually regained consciousness from that mysterious state, stopped the operation of his super energy, returned his hands and feet to their normal positions, and slowly opened his eyes.
"What a wonderful feeling. It seems like I've regained a lot of my strength. Even if I'm not as strong as before, I should be about the same as an ordinary person now. At least I won't look sickly!" Feeling the changes in his body, Ethan muttered to himself as he stood up.
"Ethan!"
At this moment, Maeve's voice suddenly came from Ethan's Sea of Consciousness.
"You're awake?" Ethan immediately asked.
"What's going on? How did I end up in your Sea of Consciousness? Where is Requiem Tower?" Maeve asked in surprise.
Ethan briefly explained what had happened.
Maeve knew most of what had happened since Ethan found Winford, as she had led Ethan to Winford's location.
But her memory stopped at the moment when Winford was about to forcibly reclaim Requiem Tower. She only felt an irresistible force pulling her out of Requiem Tower, and then she lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.
Thinking back, Ethan realized that the powerful mental force he had felt at that time was probably brought by Maeve.
Winford must have directly sent Maeve's soul into his Sea of Consciousness.
"I always wanted to escape that tower, but I never thought it would actually happen!" After listening to Ethan's explanation, Maeve looked thoughtful but showed no joy on her face.
"You don't seem very happy?" Ethan asked in surprise.
"You don't understand. My soul needs a host. Although Requiem Tower trapped me, it was an excellent host. While it restricted my freedom, my mental power could grow stronger. But once I leave the host, my mental power will quickly deplete and diminish!" Maeve explained helplessly.
"Aren't you in my Sea of Consciousness now? Is your mental power still depleting?" Ethan's heart sank upon hearing this.
"Yes, you can't feel it, but I can clearly sense it. My mental power is rapidly depleting. If I don't find a host soon, my Sea of Consciousness will fall to a lower level, and it will take a long time to recover!" Maeve explained with some frustration.
"So what do you think we should do now?" Ethan quickly asked.
"It's all your fault for lending out the Sacred Wood. If you had the Sacred Wood now, I could reside in it, and my mental power would not only stop depleting but also increase!" Speaking of the Sacred Wood, Maeve complained to Ethan, clearly holding a grudge!
"I didn't expect this to happen! The Sacred Wood issue is easy to solve. After all, I only lent it out; I can take it back. It's been several days since I lent it to them, so Linda should be close to breaking through, right?"
Ethan felt relieved upon hearing this. As long as the problem could be solved, there was no need to panic!
"I can't talk to you much now. Wake me up when you find the Sacred Wood. In this situation, I need to sleep to minimize the unnecessary depletion of my mental power." Maeve said, and without waiting for Ethan to respond, she retreated to the depths of Ethan's Sea of Consciousness and fell asleep.
"I wish I could fall asleep as easily as you!" Ethan shook his head with a bitter smile. It wasn't that he couldn't sleep, but he didn't dare to!
In the current situation, every second counted, and there was no time to waste!
With this in mind, Ethan left Literati Tower and headed to Francis's Breeze Pavilion.
When Francis saw Ethan again, his eyes lit up, and he asked with admiration. "It's truly amazing! You look much better. It seems you've benefited from that body refining technique?"
"I've grasped a bit of it and experienced some benefits. It seems that body refining is indeed an effective way of cultivation. However, it's a bit different from what I imagined." Ethan shook his head noncommittally.
"Are you planning to leave?" Francis asked, changing the subject.
"Leaving early will put my mom at ease. I'll continue practicing outside. There are still many troublesome things waiting for me to deal with!" Ethan sighed helplessly.
If he could choose, he would really like to stay in this Tiger Mount secret realm and live in seclusion, but he couldn't do that!
After all, he wasn't a selfish person and couldn't just look out for himself!
And could he really look out for himself?
