Directly see one's own mind

  On the main hall of Chongyang Palace, Qiu Chuji glared at Lin Heng and kept telling Ma Yu about Lin Heng's disrespect. Above him, Ma Yu shook his head helplessly, turned to look at Lin Heng, but didn't know that Lin Heng didn't want to explain himself, so he stood up and left the main hall. Behind him, all six Quanzhen disciples were stunned, staring at his back, their faces turning ugly one by one.

  "Big brother, look at him, he's still a Quanzhen disciple and doesn't even understand the importance of respecting one's master... this is really... really..." Chu Zhiyun was furious, but the others weren't much better. The only one who remained calm was Ma Yu.

  This time, he went to Xiangyang with Lin Heng and others, and naturally noticed that Lin Heng was not feeling well, but at the time of the great war, he didn't think much about it. However, after returning to the Quanzhen Sect, he thought a lot more.

  "Alright, Brother, didn't you notice that Lin Heng's spirit is very poor?" Ma Yun shook his head and stopped Qiu Chuji, saying: "I think he just hasn't adapted to the battlefield, so he did those discourteous things."

  "What's not adapted to the battlefield? It's not his first time going either, humph!" Chu Zhaoming coldly snorted, but didn't say anything more.

  On the other hand, Lin Heng walked on the mountain path, his eyes listlessly scanning the surroundings, feeling a lack of energy throughout his body. He didn't know why, but since he came back, he had been less and less willing to move, as if everything had returned to the days when he was a shut-in. He had also thought about it carefully, but still couldn't figure out what his problem was.

  Onlookers see most clearly, but those in the midst are confused! Lin Heng was just like that. He couldn't see his own problems, but Ma Yu had guessed some of them. Now, after sending away a few junior brothers, he found Lin Heng.

  "Disciple, are you perplexed in your heart?" Ma Yun looked at Lin Heng and asked with a gentle smile.

  Lin Heng looked up at Ma Yun, his lips moving, but he didn't know how to speak. Ma Yun sighed and said, "Disciple, your talent is very good, it's not inferior to that of the Heavy Yang Ancestor. I believe that in your lifetime, you will definitely be able to reach the level of the Heavy Yang Ancestor. However, your mind is too complicated. Sometimes, having more thoughts isn't a bad thing, but sometimes thinking too much isn't a good thing either."

  "Master..." Lin Heng stared blankly at Ma Yun, his heart shaken. He knew what Ma Yun meant, that he was just overthinking things. For them cultivators, as long as they didn't go against their conscience, it was the right thing to do. But Lin Heng felt like he had gone against his own conscience, because in his heart, Mongolians were also Chinese people; now killing Mongolians wasn't equivalent to killing his own compatriots?

  Actually, his problem is still that he hasn't fully integrated into today's environment. In terms of making friends and understanding, Lin Heng has become almost the same as Song Ren, but his heart remains a modern one. This point is really hard to change.

  "Disciple, I've told you before that the one thing we cultivators cannot do is go against our own hearts. But before that, we must understand our own hearts. Have you understood your own heart?" Ma Yu didn't say much to persuade Lin Heng, but these words were like a morning bell ringing in his ears, suddenly awakening him from his stupor.

  "My own heart..." Lin Heng muttered to himself as he stood there.

  Yes, his own heart. To say it, Lin Heng had never directly looked at his own heart. Since his rebirth, he had been stuck in memories. It wasn't until his mother's death that he truly realized he had come to a new world, and everything here was real, not a dream. From then on, he began learning, because he knew that the start of a person's success is learning.

  It's just that learning is for its own sake, and one's heart belongs to one's heart. He knows he should learn and makes an effort to do so, but until when?

  Everyone says that learning is endless! However, in the minds of modern people, is it really endless? Probably no one would think so, because they only learn things that are useful to themselves, and once they've learned enough, that's enough. Medicine and martial arts seem to be truly endless, at least as evidenced by Lin Heng. But this is just learning, not his goal. Without a goal, how can he see through his own heart?

  To put it bluntly, Lin Heng doesn't know what he wants.

  In the past, Lin Heng used temporary goals to boost his motivation and was also successful. If it weren't for this incident, he wouldn't have thought so much, but things in life are often not as one wishes. This battle of Xiangyang has left Lin Heng perplexed, while Ma Yu's words have made him start to recognize his own heart.

  The greatest under heaven! To put it bluntly, this is a goal, one that he thinks can be strived for, but is it the goal in his heart? The answer must be no.

  In terms of personality, Lin Heng is not a very competitive person, otherwise he would not be an otaku. So, being the best in the world is not a goal that he acknowledges in his heart.

  Deep in thought, Lin Heng recalled the beginning of his medical and martial arts studies. At that time, he was forced to study medicine because his master, Ping Yiji, was a divine doctor, so he also had to become a divine doctor. However, what truly interested him back then was actually martial arts. This also motivated him to work hard at studying medicine, striving for the day when Ping Yiji would teach him martial arts.

  Later, the medical system appeared in his own system, which made him pay attention to medicine. Until he was in Fujian, he thought of Xue Mu Hua and truly started to study medicine seriously. However, psychologically, his goal of studying medicine was to pave the way for martial arts. He hoped to be like Xue Mu Hua, using healing people to exchange for their martial arts.

  In short, his true interest lies in martial arts.

  As a modern person, no one would not be interested in the martial arts of Jin Yong. This interest can become your motivation. Lin Heng is just like that, but he also has a deeper expectation in his heart.

  The protagonist with the golden finger must be different from others. Lin Heng also hopes to be different, that is, when others practice martial arts, he practices Xian (immortal cultivation). When others are warriors, he is an immortal. In his view, since transmigration has occurred, why wouldn't there be immortals?

  So he secretly hoped that he would achieve something in martial arts, hoping to break through the limits of his martial skills and enter the ranks of those who had achieved spiritual enlightenment.

  "Martial Arts Extreme... Immortal..."

  He looked up at the sky, and before he knew it, the sky had already darkened, with countless stars twinkling in the air. They blinked and shone, as if watching Lin Heng. Suddenly, a surge of heroic spirit rose in Lin Heng's heart, and he exclaimed loudly: "That's right, I am an immortal! If I can become an immortal just by being here, then what's impossible about becoming an immortal? One day, I'll go up there to see if anyone really exists."

  At this moment, Lin Heng's mind flashed with images, these images were what he had seen before, and also the image of an immortal that he had simulated in his own mind.

  Whoa! Letting out a breath, Lin Heng smiled and turned to leave the hill. He returned to his residence and plopped himself down. Although it was already midnight, after a day of contemplation, Lin Heng not only wasn't sleepy but also didn't have a single thread of fatigue; instead, he felt that his spirit had never been so full before, which made him very satisfied and surprised.

  Deep in thought, Lin Heng suddenly remembered the system and immediately summoned it with a single thought. On the familiar screen, three buttons floated quietly, the only difference from before being that the usually black Sky Eye button was emitting a soft white light.

  "The last system has been activated!" Lin Heng suddenly sat up with a start, his face filled with joy, and hastily opened the Heavenly Eye.

  The screen flickered, and three large buttons disappeared. A line of small characters appeared on the screen. Looking at those words, Lin Heng unconsciously hummed: "Tianyan, the divine art of the soul's essence, the supreme spiritual treasure. To cultivate Tianyan, one must understand the original heart. The host has already touched the original heart, and Tianyan is activated to the first level - Inner Vision! Inner Vision allows one to observe their own dwelling place!"

  Introspection was nothing new to Lin Heng, it's just that he had never heard of anyone who could actually introspect.

  "It's really a divine move......" Lin Heng swallowed his saliva, his face full of shock. Just now, he was still thinking about the immortal, and immediately, the system gave him a big surprise.

  He took a deep breath, Lin Heng hastily sat cross-legged on the bed, trying to introspect. However, he sat for a while and couldn't find that feeling at all, he didn't know what was going on, so he opened the system again. Here, the system prompted: To introspect, calm your mind!

  Just five words explained the key point of introspection, Lin Heng also knew that he was too eager for introspection just now and lost his original heart, so he couldn't succeed.

  He took a deep breath, closed his eyes again. Let himself calm down, Lin Heng had also learned this, which was not considered a high-level skill in Taoism. It's just that entering a state of calmness wasn't simple. Fortunately, Lin Heng had his own method, which was to cultivate internal energy. When he fully devoted himself to it, he would slowly let go of the distractions in his mind and enter a state of calmness.

  This time, he succeeded. With a completely still heart, he unknowingly saw a wonderful scene. Here, everything seemed to be red, the red heart beating, the red blood flowing in the red coffin (whether it was really red or not, I don't know, just assume it's red!)... Everything was so wonderful. Soon, he saw a faint white gas in his lower abdomen, which was the true energy he had cultivated. He let his vision follow the movement of the true energy, looking through the meridians, and experienced a wonderful journey.

  He was having a great time playing, when he suddenly thought of himself, why not take advantage of his inner vision to try and break through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians?

  Think and act! Lin Heng immediately gathered the true energy within his body, converging it to the location of the meridian. However, his true energy was still insufficient, and when the true energy passed through the regular channels to reach this place, only a thin thread remained of what seemed like a thick energy. Lin Heng felt helpless about this; he had been cultivating for too short a time, and even with the help of elixirs, he couldn't compare to those senior predecessors.

  Taking a deep breath, Lin Heng observed the pulse with his Heavenly Eyes, looking for the blockage. He looked very carefully and also saw a tiny gap in the blockage, which he could take advantage of. So, he controlled the small amount of true energy to slowly seep into the gap in the blockage, slowly impacting the blockage.

  His method was to penetrate the meridians with a small amount of true energy, then use that thread of true energy to slowly dissolve the blockage. This method was very clumsy and ordinary people couldn't use it because they couldn't see the gaps. But for Lin Heng, this method was the best, because his true energy was currently insufficient, but he could just barely see the situation inside his body.

  It wasn't until he felt dizzy and his head was spinning that the initial gap in the meridian was suddenly opened by him. It was this sudden movement that cleared Lin Heng's mind, and he immediately controlled the true energy in his dantian to rush into the meridian. Unfortunately, although he tried hard, not much true energy entered, because he had too little true energy, and each time only a thread of it was squeezed out.

  "Never mind, let's take it easy!"

  Lying in bed, Lin Heng opened his eyes, and there was a hint of helplessness on his face, but after thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but smile. Apparently, he thought he had been too greedy. "Right, it's been a while since I last visited Little Longnu, I wonder if she's blaming this big brother? Tomorrow, I must go see her."
