Chapter 899 Mental Power
Zhou Xu originally thought that he would calm down quickly after being excited. After all, his character has always been like this.
But he soon discovered that he was completely unable to calm down at the moment and was extremely excited.
He didn’t want to do morning exercises anymore, he didn’t want to do anything else, so he opened his attribute panel and looked at the words ‘extraordinary life’. He couldn’t be happier.
Fortunately, after having fun for almost 20 minutes, he ate his breakfast for the time being, and then happily went to work in Qinzheng Hall with brisk steps.
Since he woke up half an hour early today and didn't go for morning exercise, he was the first one to arrive.
After some time, Zhou Xu's mood finally calmed down a bit. As he slowly entered working mode, he soon found that he was in excellent condition.
Looking at the documents in front of me, my mind is extremely clear. Invisibly, the processing efficiency has been greatly improved.
He knew that this was the effect of further improvement of his spiritual attributes.
Earlier before, when his spiritual star level was upgraded to four and five stars, he had a similar effect, but the improvement was not as obvious as it is now.
People with higher mental stars have clearer minds when they need to think, so they tend to be very efficient in processing these documents.
After becoming a transcendent being, the first star symbolizing his spiritual star was lit bronze.
This undoubtedly verifies Zhou Xu's previous guess, that is, by studying and practicing the mantra, one can also break through as long as he reaches a certain level.
However, due to the different cultivation methods, the names for the realm after breakthrough are also different.
At this stage, warriors like Xie Liancheng are called the Hundred Refiners Realm. According to Zhou Xu's understanding, it should mean that they have experienced hundreds of refinings, and they are considered to be in line with the strength of that realm.
And a mage like him shows a transcendent realm.
For Zhou Xu, the word 'transcendent' is undoubtedly easier to understand, especially under the premise that their human race itself is still a 'mortal body', it can be simply understood as a level that transcends the mortal body.
In midsummer, due to the hot weather, everyone's work efficiency drops, but the workload has not dropped at all.
Recently, I have been busy until lunch break at 11 o'clock every day, but not necessarily It can be done.
But today, it was because of Zhou Xu’s super performance after breaking through his realm that he finished the morning’s work half an hour early, causing both Huo Qubing and Li Bowen to look at him in surprise.
"Done!"
While speaking, Zhou Xu stretched hard.
After sitting all morning, my body, which had become stiff, groaned in pain at this moment.
Just when he was about to stretch his muscles a little, a soldier ran in quickly.
"Your Majesty, Corporal John is back, and he is bringing the Wood Elf leader Locke with him."
John, the leader of the wood elf clan, Locke, was coming to Xianyang City. He had already sent a flying pigeon message when he was in Green Forest City, so he had already known about it and approved it.
The temperature has begun to rise gradually now, entering the hottest period of the day.
Zhou Xu really didn’t want to bother with business at this time, it was too tiring.
But Locke obviously couldn't wait. At the same time, considering the identity of the other party, it was inconvenient for Zhou Xu to leave him alone...
"Take them to the side hall and ask someone to do it." Bring over some iced bayberry soup.”
After giving brief instructions, Zhou Xu went to the side hall and sat down first.
Locke and the others came very quickly, and their pace was quite hasty.
"Locke has met the emperor!"
"The clan leader does not need to be polite. It has been a long journey. I think I am tired. Please sit down and rest first."
From From an identity point of view, Locke is not his subordinate or a citizen, but an ally of their Great Zhou Dynasty. He still needs to be polite at this moment.
While Zhou Xu was talking, the maid on the side had already served the freshly prepared iced bayberry soup.
"This iced bayberry soup is a new drink we just developed this summer. The clan leader may wish to try it."
Locke is now full of things about the giant eagle, and he wanted to decline, but The cold breath emanating from the iced bayberry soup made him swallow the words that were already on his lips unconsciously, and at the same time he became curious about it.
"Your Majesty, where did you get this ice in such a hot season?"
Faced with Locke's question, Zhou Xu smiled and gave the answer.
"Just store the ice in the winter and use it in the summer." "..."
However, Zhou Xu's explanation sounded worse to Locke. Without explanation, he became even more confused after hearing this.
And Zhou Xu had no interest in popularizing science for Locke, so he casually brought up the topic.
“Clan leader, let’s try it first.”
Locke was not polite about this, he picked it up and took a big gulp.
At that moment, Locke felt comfortable all over his body. For a moment, he was so amazed by the iced bayberry soup that he was speechless.
This bayberry was discovered by Liang Guo. When it was discovered last year, Zhou Xu ordered people to transplant it to Xinnan District. At the same time, Black Moon City and Pingyuan Farm also sent it. Quite a few.
Nowadays, the cold and sweet bayberry soup has become an excellent way to relieve the heat here. At the same time, many restaurants have also launched it. The price is not low, and there is no cheap big bowl of herbal tea.
Here, the bayberry itself is not expensive, but the ice is expensive.
In this era, not everyone can afford ice, and at the same time, the quantity is not that large at this stage, which contributes to the high price.
But the sales volume was not bad at all, which made Zhou Xu sigh with emotion. The consumption level of their people in the Great Zhou Dynasty had really improved.
At this moment, Locke felt that the heat and fatigue along the way were instantly swept away, and his whole body felt comfortable.
It wasn't until he drank all the iced bayberry soup that he came back to his senses. Looking at Zhou Xu who was smiling without saying a word, his face turned slightly red.
“Ahem. I lost my composure.”
"It's okay, patriarch, you can do whatever you want. I don't have that many rules here."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu also quickly got to the point.
"I know the purpose of the patriarch's visit, but the weather is hot right now. We might as well rest in this hall for a while and chat by the way. It won't be too late to go when it gets cooler."
Zhou Xu’s words came to this point. Although Locke was anxious, he couldn’t refuse.
"Then it will be as your Majesty wishes."
"Corporal John should have already told you about my situation. I wonder if the patriarch has any idea?"
When this matter was mentioned, Locke suddenly became excited as if he remembered something.
"I have already understood this matter."
While speaking, Locke explained it to Zhou Xu again.
Locke's words immediately gave Zhou Xu a feeling of enlightenment.
[I see, mental power...]
[Spiritual power is a manifestation of the strength of the soul. If mental power is compared to a person with bare hands, then the power of mantra is equivalent to the weapon in that person's hand. 】
【Bare hands have limited combat effectiveness, but it is different with weapons. 】
【The mantra is equivalent to the moves performed after taking the weapon. Different mantras correspond to different moves. 】
Zhou Xu's idea can be said to be simple and clear, and he quickly made the relationship clear.
During this process, looking at Zhou Xu who was expressionless and deep in thought, Locke mistakenly thought that he was having a headache about breaking through the realm, so he smiled and expressed relief.
"Breakthrough in this matter cannot be achieved in just a few years. Your Majesty still has to relax and let nature take its course..."
Unexpectedly, Locke hasn't said anything yet. After that, Zhou Xu, who was sitting on it, raised his head with a confused expression, as if he didn't understand what the other party was saying.
After reacting, he immediately explained.
"Oh, don't worry, Patriarch, I have successfully broken through and reached the extraordinary realm. I was thinking about other things just now."
"I understand, I understand. I thought so too back then..."
Obviously Locke didn't listen carefully to what Zhou Xu said. He followed the words and spoke words of comfort to himself. Half of what he said was lost in his mind. Only then did he slowly turn the corner.
“Huh?”
