Chapter 15: The Mystery of the Hand Seal

He wiped his nosebleed and pondered how to cultivate and earn money.

Now, he could not enter the fetal breathing state, nor could he meditate.

The only thing left was the set of "Emperor of the Mind Seal" postures passed down in his dreams.

This set of postures was very complex, definitely a high-level martial art, but without meditation, it was just a set of calisthenics.

Meditation was the "internal cultivation technique." Without an internal cultivation technique, martial arts were no different from flashy but ineffective moves.

However, these were postures from the "Great Dream Heart Sutra," so they must have some benefits.

He practiced for a while and felt that the "Emperor of the Mind Seal" postures were numerous and profound. Even without meditation, they were far more advanced than boneless soft techniques.

Various movements and hand seals sometimes exuded a mighty aura, like a thunderbolt striking. Sometimes they were like raindrops on banana leaves, fingers flicking rapidly. Sometimes fingers formed flowers, petals falling everywhere. Sometimes hands surged upward, like lotus flowers blooming from the earth.

Before long, he was tired and fell into a deep sleep again.

This time, the dream did not appear.

It seemed that the spirit power of the Illusion Fox could only unlock the fundamental secrets of the Great Dream Heart Sutra once.

An hour later, Jiang Li was fully awake, feeling refreshed and no longer dizzy or disoriented.

He took a shower, washed his clothes and sheets, and feeling refreshed, he began practicing various movements from the boneless soft technique, the Dragon and Snake Dance. His body, though boneless, was strong and agile, swaying like a divine dragon in the sky, unpredictable and ever-changing.

It gave the impression of pushing the limits of physical techniques.

The battle with the Illusion Fox gave him many insights. The instinctive reactions triggered by the life-and-death situation were gradually being digested and absorbed.

Moreover, he had taken over ten vials of Green God biological agents, which alleviated his hunger and replenished his life potential. As long as he continued to take them, the damage caused by fetal breathing would gradually be repaired.

"Hmm? My physical condition has improved so much?"

He found that he could perform many of the "boneless soft technique" movements with ease, especially the final move, the "boneless dragon and snake dance," which he performed without any stiffness.

His physical condition, bone strength, tendon and cell vitality, and organ function had all greatly improved. He performed the five movements of the boneless soft technique flawlessly.

His physical abilities had significantly increased.

Now, he believed he would not lose to his younger brother, Jiang Tao.

Of course, his combat experience might still be lacking.

"Brother, you didn't go to class today?"

The knocking sound came, and Jiang Li opened the door to see his sister, Jiang Xuan.

"I did go to class, I just got back," Jiang Li quickly said. "Come in, sister."

"What's up, brother?" Jiang Xuan was puzzled but still walked into the room. "Did you shop online? What's this? Green God biological agents? One thousand star coins per vial?" She saw the receipt on the table and exclaimed in surprise.

"Shh..." Jiang Li quickly said, "Keep it down. I took a job without telling Mom and Dad, helping the police department search for clues. I got lucky and found the trail of a criminal, earning some reward. Here, give me your student card."

"Okay." Jiang Xuan quickly took out her student chip, and with a beep, one thousand star coins were transferred.

"One thousand star coins! So much money..." Jiang Xuan was stunned. "I... I've never had this much money before. I can buy so many things." She only received eight star coins as pocket money each month.

"Don't tell Mom and Dad. Buy what you want, but make sure it's something that will help your cultivation, don't waste it," Jiang Li whispered.

"Thank you, brother. You're so good to me." Jiang Xuan jumped up and hugged Jiang Li, giving him a kiss. "I want to become like Brother Jiang Tao, a celebrity at school."

Jiang Li smiled and nodded. He didn't mind cultivating his sister. The money he had left over was meant for her, and he didn't mind if he lacked it himself.

In the evening, the family gathered for dinner. His parents, younger brother Jiang Tao, Jiang Li, and sister Jiang Xuan were all happy, watching TV and discussing the day's events. Jiang Li enjoyed this atmosphere and hoped it would last forever.

"Brother, how is your meditation going?" Jiang Li asked his younger brother at the dinner table.

"It's difficult," Jiang Tao said, smacking his lips. "I'm now practicing ancient Buddhist yoga hand seals, using the mind to control the body, aligning with the rules of the universe, and subduing distracting thoughts. I also practice mantras, spells, prayers, and worship..." Jiang Tao put down his bowl and made a gesture, clasping his hands to form a fist and raising it above his head.

Suddenly, Jiang Li felt that his brother was like a mountain, immovable, exuding a subtle and powerful aura.

He had combined the "Emperor of the Mind Seal" with his own understanding, gaining some insights.

Jiang Li still couldn't understand the various hand seals of the "Emperor of the Mind Seal" and could only mimic them. He felt that to practice this set of hand seals, one must first meditate on the cosmic brain.

Unfortunately, he would get a nosebleed as soon as he meditated.

"Eat, eat," Father Jiang Zhendong tapped his chopsticks...

After dinner, he went to the park to feed the cats again. Seeing that Dahuai was strong and healthy, he didn't feel happy but rather sad. Dahuai had been hypnotized into fetal breathing by the stone, which was a form of life depletion, significantly reducing his lifespan. He didn't know how long Dahuai would live.

He wanted to earn money to give Dahuai the Green God nutritional agents, but it was impossible now.

Dahuai showed no signs of crisis, playing happily and becoming the king of the cats, even making the strongest cat, Huamian, submit.

After feeding the cats, Jiang Li began his practice, naturally starting with the newly learned "Emperor of the Mind Seal." He continuously formed the seals, moving his entire body. By the time he finished the set, he was drenched in sweat, having expended a lot of energy.

He rested again, entering a deep sleep for an hour, then turned on his optical brain to search for information.

"Revival Organization..." He clicked on the optical brain and searched for these four words, and a lot of information appeared.

The Illusion Fox had almost killed him, and the memory was still fresh. The Illusion Fox's strength deeply impressed him, especially his hypnotic skills, which seemed almost irresistible. Just a glance from the Illusion Fox could hypnotize someone, making them obedient. It was not impossible for him to make someone reveal their bank card password or even transfer money.

It was said that the Illusion Fox had hypnotized many rich people, making them transfer money to him, and they couldn't remember the incident afterward.

Teacher Daojie had said that to advance in mental cultivation, he must learn hypnosis. Before, he didn't think much of hypnosis, considering it a trick, but after encountering the Illusion Fox, he realized that hypnosis was almost demonic.

In ancient times, foxes and cats could hypnotize humans, causing hallucinations, making scholars believe they had encountered beautiful women, when in fact they were hypnotized.

The story of "A Dream of Yellow Millet" was also the work of ancient hypnotists.

At the same time, Jiang Li searched online for information about the "Revival Organization" that the Illusion Fox belonged to.

The so-called Revival Organization was a group from over two hundred years ago, when humans were still in the nation-state era. Some people still harbored nostalgia for their former countries and wanted to restore their former glory.

The unification of humanity and the transition to the star age were inevitable trends. The nation-state era, like the feudal and slave eras, was a thing of the past. Reviving nations would be a step backward in history.

Now, humans were relatively strong, establishing bases on multiple planets, but if they encountered a powerful civilization in the universe, they would be defeated and possibly wiped out in an instant.

In 2050, a powerful alien warship crashed on Earth. If it hadn't fallen suddenly, Earth humans would have become slaves, completely conquered.

To this day, the technology obtained from that warship is still being studied, and all human governments now emphasize unity, firmly opposing any acts of secession.

"Among the Revival Organizations, there are many. The Illusion Fox has Caucasian blood. The city we live in, Xinghua City, belonged to Huaguo over two hundred years ago."

Looking at the information displayed on his optical brain, Jiang Li frowned.

Over two hundred years ago, Earth had powerful countries like the United States, Huaguo, Russia, and many European nations. After the world wars, these political elites united to form a new Earth government, and the nation-states disappeared.

Jiang Li now lived in Xinghua City, which belonged to Huaguo, and he was a pure-blooded Han Chinese.

There were also powerful Revival Organizations among the Han Chinese, hidden underground.

However, he was not interested in these organizations and did not want to get involved. Jiang Li knew he was a small figure and needed a peaceful and harmonious social environment to cultivate and grow stronger, improving his status and making his family happy.

A small figure does not concern himself with major events.

If you are not in a position, you do not meddle in its affairs.

"Hypnotist, hypnosis..." Jiang Li thought of the Illusion Fox's hypnosis and felt he should learn about hypnosis. Hypnosis was a highly profitable profession in modern times.

"How to learn hypnosis..." He searched online.

"Hypnosis is a form of mental control. A hypnotist must first have a strong mind, then use language, actions, and body movements to release their charm, creating strong suggestions and influence, affecting the other person's brain and ultimately controlling their subconscious..."

"Hypnotist certification is divided into apprentice hypnotist, low-level hypnotist, mid-level hypnotist, high-level hypnotist, super hypnotist, and then mind master."

"Apprentice hypnotists do not earn much. Any student can learn hypnosis techniques. However, becoming a hypnotist is different. One must pass many difficult exams to obtain a certification. A low-level hypnotist can treat many diseases, help people sleep peacefully, and even induce deep sleep. Of course, a low-level hypnotist must also enter the second stage of deep sleep. The monthly salary of a low-level hypnotist is generally between tens of thousands and one hundred thousand star coins..."

Information appeared one by one on the internet.

Jiang Li browsed through it: "What? The monthly salary of a low-level hypnotist is so high? I have reached the second stage of deep sleep, so I am qualified to become a low-level hypnotist?"

............................................................................

{To write this book, I spent a long time researching hypnosis and dream analysis, expressing some views. I hope to spark further discussion. I am very cautious about cultivation and hope that experts will provide guidance and corrections.}

{Jiang Li swung his pocket watch, emitting a soothing sound: "Are you tired, do you want to sleep? If you're tired, contribute to my collection, red tickets, and rewards. This will help you enter a deep sleep..."}
