"Professor Elon!" Mark shouted as he rushed into the yard.
Elon heard the familiar voice and stared wide-eyed at Mark.
"You... Mark!" Elon walked over in shock. "What are you doing here!"
At this time, Elon was unaware of the cooperation between the Lighthouse and Dragonbone Village, let alone that Mark had succeeded as the city lord.
"You were kicked off the lighthouse?"
"Professor Elon, why did your first reaction be that Mark was kicked out, rather than that he came to us on his own?" Jing Yuan said with a smile.
Elon glanced at the group of people behind him; they were all members of the Wilderness Hunters, including Jing Nan.
"What happened?"
“Professor Elon, it’s a long story!” Mark and his group told Elon everything that had happened since the start of the departure ceremony.
Elon was also shocked after hearing this.
He was well aware of the factional struggles within the Lighthouse, so Elon wasn't surprised that Charles launched a coup. What surprised him was that, under these circumstances, they were still able to turn the tables and kill Charles.
Elon looked at Mark, pulled him close, and whispered, "So, Charles is still alive, and Morgan is still alive?"
Yes, teacher.
Elon frowned. "Mark, I know you're kind-hearted. Morgan is old, but Charles absolutely cannot stay."
"He's being held in custody now, he'll be fine."
Mark originally wanted Charles to travel far away, but given the current situation, such a journey had lost its meaning.
Elon looked at Mark; he couldn't very well force Mark to kill Charles.
Mark's kindness is a key quality that distinguishes him from Morgan. Perhaps this is where the lighthouse's hope lies, and Elon doesn't want to destroy this quality in him.
Elon looked into the distance, lost in thought.
After catching up with Elon, Jingyuan and Mark discussed it and decided to send 50 people down to learn the Guiyuan Mind Technique and how to independently unleash their potential. Those who learned the techniques would then pass them on to the Lighthouse.
Guiyuan is the most basic skill in Longgu Village; the villagers learn it from childhood.
Whether it's learning to return to one's roots or unleashing one's potential, both require long-term physical training.
After everything was settled, Jingyuan and Mark, along with 50 selected lighthouse people, went to learn about returning to the origin and train their physical abilities under Wulan Aodeng.
Meanwhile, Jingnan coordinated a technology exchange between the lighthouse's technicians and Longgu Village.
Jingyuan and the others stayed in Dragon Bone Village during the day and returned to the Lighthouse at night.
Everything at the lighthouse remained the same.
……
In the early morning, sunlight shines through lenses embedded in the mountains and into Longgu Village.
The composite folding farm unfolds slowly, allowing the plants to receive sunlight.
"Hey! Ha!"
A group of young villagers from Longgu Village are training under the guidance of Wulan Aodeng.
"A good horse stance makes one look older, and a firm horse stance ensures one's return to one's origins!"
Under Ulan Aodeng's guidance, these young people dared not slack off.
Ulan Aodeng looked at the people at the lighthouse and said with a serious expression, "People of the lighthouse, if you want to learn Guiyuan, you have to start by practicing the horse stance!"
Mark glanced at the crowd behind him and said, "Everyone heard what Master Wu said! Begin practicing your horse stance!"
"Yes!"
Led by Mark, the people of the lighthouse lined up and assumed a horse stance in perfect unison.
Ulan Aodeng glanced at it and then remained silent.
A group of awakened practitioners from Dragon Bone Village heard that the people from the Lighthouse had come down to learn about returning to the origin, so a group of them ran over to see.
Among them, Xu Tong, who was wearing a mask, was the most enthusiastic. He looked at Shan Da next to him and asked, "How about we make a bet on who among them will master Guiyuan first?"
Shan Da glanced at Xu Tong, then turned his face away and said, "Who's going to bet with you! We'd rather go play a couple of rounds of mahjong!"
Xu Tong then looked at Amuer beside him, "Are you going to bet or not?"
Amur glanced at him and said, "There's nothing to gamble on! The stronger you are, the faster you master the Return to Origin. First is Jing Yuan, second is Mark."
"Then let's bet on the third one!"
Amur turned his head away and ignored him.
Time ticked by, and some of the people at the lighthouse were already giving up.
However, as lighthouse workers on the ground, everyone gritted their teeth and persevered in order to preserve the lighthouse's reputation.
Fifteen minutes later, the people of Longgu Village were the first to give in and collapsed.
The people at the lighthouse are still holding on.
Two minutes later, more than half of the people in Dragonbone Village had fallen, and then the people from the Lighthouse began to fall one after another.
Within thirty minutes, everyone in Dragon Bone Village collapsed to the ground.
There are six Lighthouse Residents left: Jingyuan, Mark, Feixue, Penny, Ranbing, and Chufeng.
Jingyuan glanced at Penny beside him, surprised that she could actually persevere.
Among the women, she, Ran Bing, and Fei Xue persisted the longest.
Erica, for example, couldn't even last the first round.
Over the next ten minutes, Penny, Feixue, and Ranbing all collapsed to the ground.
Surprisingly, Ran Bing is the woman who has persisted the longest.
No! She should be the one who has persisted the longest among all the lighthouse keepers.
After all, of the two remaining, one had a cheat code, and the other wasn't human.
Ulan Aodeng looked at Jing Yuan and Mark and said with great appreciation, "Well, you two don't need to do horse stance anymore!"
Jingyuan and Mark stood up; this basic skill was no challenge for either of them.
"You all come here too!" Wulan Aodeng looked at Ran Bing, Penny, Fei Xue, and Chu Feng.
They are the six who have persisted the longest.
“You guys have solid fundamentals, so you can start practicing the mental techniques directly,” Ulan Aodeng said, taking a step forward with his right leg and assuming a horse stance.
"Do as I say!"
Chapter 142 Awakening Potential
"Close your eyes first, focus your energy in your dantian, and feel the energy within your body." Ulan Aodeng's voice was deep and powerful. "Note that you should ignore your breathing and heartbeat to feel it!"
Jingyuan closed his eyes and followed instructions to sense that aura.
At first, he could only hear his own breathing and heartbeat.
"You must face your emotions squarely. The three laws of the lighthouse require you to suppress your emotions. But emotions cannot be suppressed. Forcibly suppressing them will cause the source matter to form a dead knot. The more you try to untie this knot, the more chaotic it will become."
You need to learn to let your emotions flow naturally. Think about it: your love, hate, joy, and anger—let these emotions flow naturally, but don't let them affect your heart.
Like a gentle breeze blowing through a bamboo grove, leaving no sound in the bamboo; like wild geese flying across a cold pond, leaving no trace in the pond!
Listening to Wulan Aodeng's words, Jing Yuan's heart was filled with memories of past loves and hates, and a surge of emotion welled up within him.
But he didn't consciously think about it; instead, he let his thoughts flow freely.
At one point, Jingyuan sensed an aura permeating his entire body. With a thought, he gathered all of this aura together and hid it in a black hole.
Ulan Aodeng looked at the group of people in front of him and nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad! Not bad! They are all promising talents."
Hearing Wulan Aodeng's praise, Jingyuan opened his eyes.
Not only Jing Yuan, but everyone else also entered the Returning Origin state.
Jing Yuan glanced at the others, scanned them with his spiritual power, and found that their auras had weakened considerably, but he could still sense them.
"Master Ao Deng, can we say that they have successfully returned to their original state?"
Ulan Aodeng nodded, "It can be considered a success! With the aura at this low level, it will be difficult for the Devouring Beast to sense it."
Under Wulan Aodeng's guidance, Jingyuan and the other six continued to repeat these operations, gradually mastering the Return to Origin technique.
Most other people, however, still need to start with horse stance.
After mastering the Return to Origin technique, Jingyuan and the other five began learning how to independently stimulate their source potential.
Because Ulan Aodeng wanted to teach others how to return to the origin, he asked his daughter, Ulan Maiduo, to provide guidance.
Ulan Maiduo was that lively girl in the red skirt, with a little bird often perched on her shoulder.
Although she looks young, she is already an enlightened practitioner.
According to the villagers, Maiduo is quite capable.
In front of Jingyuan and the others, Maiduo acted like a little teacher. She smiled and said to them, "Under normal circumstances, people will generate willpower in extreme situations. For example, when facing danger, we will have the motivation to protect our loved ones."
