The other buildings made you want to become strong and practice to become stronger but this place just made you want to sit down, smell the peach flowers in blossom and relax.
“How beautiful.” said Meng Qing gasping in amazement as well. She had a peculiar expression on her face.
While walking amongst the peach trees, an ancient pavilion appeared in front of Meng Qing and Lin Feng. There were some tables and chairs made of stone inside.
There was someone sitting inside and he was playing the zither, both hands floating over the strings of the instrument as fluently as a flowing river. Even though Lin Feng and Meng Qing had arrived in front of him, he remained concentrated and kept playing, as if the ten thousand things of creation had nothing to do with him.
That was precisely the teacher who had been in charge of the exam for the military applicants.
Meng Qing suddenly shook her head which surprised Lin Feng.
Lin Feng immediately understood what Meng Qing meant. Even though they had arrived in front of him, she still couldn’t hear the music at all. Lin Feng was probably right about the fact that he was the only one who could hear it.
“What a terrific ability…” thought Lin Feng. He had been able to hear the music from very far away and besides he was the only one who could hear it.
“Cultivation, practice, mental state, Qi layers… where water flows, a canal is formed.” said the teacher in a deep and mystical way to Lin Feng and Meng Qing. Lin Feng was surprised.
“Compassion and kind heartedness for those in need as well as cold-bloodedness to kill those who are evil, those are the two highest achievements of a cultivator. It enables a cultivator to practice faster and more efficiently. Besides, those who show mercy and are kind hearted will not necessarily kill someone. Everything depends on your state of mind, that’s all.”
“The deadly Qi within your body is already thick but your state of mind is the wrong one. Even if you already rapidly improve your strength like this, because you tend forget your original intentions, it prevents you from understanding your true potential.” These few words as well as the unceasing melody of the zither all penetrated into Lin Feng’s eardrums. Lin Feng felt extremely relaxed and serene.
If Lin Feng’s state of mind wasn’t the correct mindset then he would never be able to mature.
Lin Feng understood what the teacher meant and enlightenment flashed through his eyes.
“You need to meditate more.” said the teacher which made Lin Feng’s heart jump as if he just understood something.
