One Piece Food System

"You have such strength at this age, but you haven't studied it systematically... This is really surprising..." Acting Master Zhou was secretly surprised.

After thinking about it, Acting Master Zhou said, "In order to prevent you from being bruised and bruised by the 'Shilin Temple' itself, I will give you some basic teaching outside the temple in the past few days."

"Yes." Refa had no objection to this.

Although his main combat power comes from this captive world of delicious food, he has to admit that he still knows very little about the practice system of this world. The purpose of coming to the 'Shilin Temple' is to learn and exercise this aspect of power. He didn't care at all about studying.

"Well, let's start now."

Acting Master Zhou smiled slightly.

Ten days later, Lei Fa stood at the bottom of the stairs directly in front of the gate of 'Shilin Temple'.

I thought back on the study and preliminary training of ‘Food Yi’ over the past ten days.

"'Food meaning' is actually a special kind of spiritual practice. It is like the Buddhist 'meditation' and the Taoist 'quietness'. They are both improvements and cultivation of the spiritual level."

"However, the spiritual practice of 'food meaning' does not mean seeking tranquility and emptiness, but rather keeping oneself in a state of gratitude for food, life, and all things in nature."

"In the practice of 'food meaning', the higher the level, the deeper the understanding of the power of the soul, the greater the impact it can bring, and it can bring about earth-shaking changes in people..."

Looking back, it is actually very easy to understand what ‘food meaning’ is all about.

But understanding and practice are often far apart and are not the same thing at all.

It only took Leifa less than half a day to understand the meaning of 'food meaning'. The remaining nine and a half days were spent on training, but the results achieved in these nine and a half days were pitiful.

According to Acting Master Zhou, the spiritual practice of "Shiyi" can be roughly divided into five stages, namely: initial enlightenment, small success, great success, perfection, and final transcendence.

He himself is in the third stage of these five levels - Dacheng, which is still a long way from perfection. And the owner of this 'Shilin Temple', the Zhenzhen who is known as the 'National Treasure of Food Humanity' Master Zhen, on the other hand, stands at the pinnacle of the practice of "Shiyi" and has already entered transcendence.

As for Lei Fa, it took him nine and a half days to barely reach the threshold of the initial enlightenment stage, and he was still unable to stabilize at this stage.

This is not because of poor comprehension of thunder method, but because spiritual practice is indeed extremely difficult.

The practice of 'Food Meaning' reminded Lei Fa of the 'Pink Elephant Theory' he had heard in his previous life. The latter perfectly explained the difficulty of the former.

The example given by this theory is that when you are standing outside a room, someone tells you that there is a pink elephant in the room, and then asks you to imagine the scene inside the room without the pink elephant appearing in your mind. the concept of.

It is undoubtedly very difficult to do this, because when you try not to think about something, the thing you don't want to think about will pop up in your mind immediately.

Therefore, when you don’t want to think of a pink elephant, your subconscious mind will think of it for the first time. This is the phenomenon that this theory wants to express.

The practice of 'food meaning' is also the same. When you try every means to stabilize your heart and mind, and try to maintain a grateful heart for all things in nature, any thought may become an enemy that hinders you, even if you try to The thought of success can also disturb you.

Therefore, although Lei Fa quickly understood the meaning of "food meaning", it was still impossible to quickly reach a high level of cultivation in one fell swoop.

"Okay, let's get started. Remember the state you have realized, and try to put aside distracting thoughts. As long as you stay in that state, you will be fine." Acting Master Zhou stood at the top of the stairs, with his hands behind his back, smiling. He looked at Leifa who was standing at the foot of the stairs, hesitating.

"yes."

Refa responded, then raised his legs and walked up to the first step.

When he stood on the steps, he found that nothing happened, just like walking up an ordinary staircase.

"Success!!" Lei Fa was delighted.

not good!

In just a moment, he realized that his joyful mood would affect his current state, but how fast was the change at the spiritual level?

By the time he reacted and tried to regain his mood, it was too late!

boom--! !

A stone pillar suddenly shot out from the side of the fourth step, hitting Leifa in the stomach with lightning speed, knocking him upside down!

Leifa turned somersaults in mid-air and finally landed on his feet, but he still had to take several steps back before he could stand completely.

Feeling the dull pain in his abdomen, he knew without looking that his abdomen must have been injured due to the blow just now.

"continue!"

Ignoring the pain in his abdomen, Refa abandoned his distracting thoughts and walked towards the stairs again.

This time, when he stepped onto the first step, he learned the lesson from last time and continued walking up without getting carried away.

But when he reached the fourth step, his thoughts suddenly became confused and he was thrown away by the stairs again.

"Come again!"

Lefa gritted his teeth and started trying again.

This third time, when he reached the sixth staircase, he was knocked away.

The fourth time, failed on the 13th frame.

The fifth time, failed at the eleventh square.

The sixth time, failed on the 15th square.

…

In this way, Refa made nearly a hundred attempts just to walk up this staircase.

In these nearly a hundred attempts, almost every part of his body was injured to varying degrees. If he hadn't consciously avoided key parts, he probably wouldn't have been able to persevere.

However, even so, it was much stronger than when he first arrived.

At least he can occasionally enter the state of mind in the initial stage of enlightenment, and continue to make progress through self-reflection and correction, climbing higher and higher on the stairs.

If this were him ten days ago, even if he tried ten thousand times, he would always encounter the most violent attack from the first step!

"It's done."

After more than half a day, Lei Fa finally stepped onto the top step of the stairs and came to the side of acting master Zhou. Moreover, this time, he did not lose his temper due to success and failed.

"Being able to walk up this staircase proves that you have been able to maintain the state of the initial enlightenment stage for a period of time, and have successfully taken the first step in the practice of 'Food Yi'." Acting Master Zhou nodded happily and smiled, "Congratulations, Leifa, these ten days of hard work have been in vain."

"I also want to thank you for your earnest teaching." Refa thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

"Then, come in with me." Acting Master Zhou turned around and walked towards the door first, his voice came slowly, "Walking up this staircase only represents the first step, and the subsequent practice of 'food righteousness' , I'm afraid the difficulty is much higher than this, I hope you can complete it successfully..."
