Chapter 148: A Massive Boost to Spiritual Energy!
Chapter 148: A Massive Boost to Spiritual Energy!
Holding twenty bottles of Spirit Soothing Pills, Jiang Cheng hurried home with swift strides.
As he reached the downstairs, he noticed the lights were still on in his living room.
"Grandma and the others must still be awake, waiting for me in the living room," Jiang Cheng thought with a hint of guilt.
Earlier in the afternoon, he had called Aunt Chen, informing her that he had to work overtime and might return late, asking them to rest early.
Apparently, his words had not been heeded.
Upon reaching the door, Jiang Cheng took out his keys and unlocked it. As expected, Grandma, Aunt Chen, and Little Yue were all seated in the living room.
Seeing Jiang Cheng's arrival, they all stood up.
"Little Cheng, you're back?" Grandma asked with a smile.
"Have you eaten, Little Cheng?" Aunt Chen inquired anxiously.
"Yes, I have. Grandma, Aunt Chen, didn't I tell you to rest early?" Jiang Cheng replied, feigning displeasure as he closed the door.
"We were a little worried," Lin Yue whispered.
Ever since they moved to the outer borough, her perception of Jiang Cheng had changed, especially after settling in this new place.
Jiang Cheng's figure seemed to grow taller, and she found herself unconsciously looking up to him.
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but smile wryly.
"What could possibly happen to me? Alright, let's not stand here. Go and rest. I'll also wash up and get some rest."
Only then did the three of them nod and leave.
Jiang Cheng shook his head helplessly.
He had a premonition that if he returned this late the next day, Grandma and the others would still be waiting in the living room.
After a quick wash, he returned to his bedroom and locked the door.
Jiang Cheng unfolded the Visualization Chart and looked at it for a minute before feeling his spiritual energy deplete, causing a sharp pain in his head.
He immediately took out a bottle of Spirit Soothing Pills, opened the lid, and poured out a pill into his palm.
The pill was the size of a small pinky fingernail, with a bright yellow hue.
Jiang Cheng opened his mouth and, tilting his head back, swallowed the pill.
As soon as it went down his throat, he felt a surge of heat rush towards his mind, instantly easing the sharp pain. With each passing second, the pain diminished further.
After two or three minutes, the pain completely vanished.
It felt as if two hands were massaging his temples, bringing immense comfort.
"One basic Spirit Soothing Pill can sustain for six hours and fully restore spiritual energy three times."
Jiang Cheng glanced at his phone; it was 9:30 PM.
In other words, by 10:30 PM, his spiritual energy would be fully replenished.
Then, at 12:30 AM and 3:30 AM, it would be fully restored again.
He wasn't going to just sit and wait.
He poured out a second pill and swallowed it.
Then a third, a fourth...
Until finally, he had consumed an entire bottle of ten pills.
Jiang Cheng distinctly felt a surge of energy revitalizing his spirit.
And this sensation grew increasingly intense.
However, he wasn't planning to stop there.
With 167 Spirit Soothing Pills, he could master the Visualization Technique.
So, all he needed to do was to look at the Visualization Chart while pouring the pills into his mouth.
If all went well, he would master it within six hours.
As for sleep?
Even if he wanted to, he couldn't.
So, he decided to stay awake.
One hour passed.
Two hours...
...
Over five hours had gone by.
The next moment, Jiang Cheng felt a boom in his head, as if something had been opened, and a massive energy surged through his mind.
"Is this... spiritual energy?" Jiang Cheng's eyes widened.
He recalled Nightingale mentioning that spiritual energy could be expanded, compressed, and moved at will.
Jiang Cheng consciously guided the vast energy in his mind, and as expected, the result was just as he had hoped. He turned his gaze towards the proficiency panel.
【Lotus Meditation Technique (Proficiency): Beginner (0/100000)】
The good news was that he had indeed entered the beginner stage.
The bad news was that his experience bar had increased tenfold.
Jiang Cheng gasped in surprise.
Had the difficulty increased so much all of a sudden?
No, it seemed that his spirit energy had also increased significantly.
Jiang Cheng had never felt his mind as clear as it was now, and even the forgotten memories from his childhood resurfaced vividly in his mind.
"Let's use this Lotus Leaf Diagram in front of me to verify."
Jiang Cheng looked at the diagram again.
After five seconds, his experience points increased by one.
"It seems that the spirit energy consumption per second hasn't changed."
Jiang Cheng's heart leaped with joy.
He continued to stare at the diagram.
Unconsciously, a minute passed.
If it weren't for the fact that he had entered the beginner stage, he would have given up long ago, feeling as if his head were being pricked by needles.
But now, he felt nothing at all.
Jiang Cheng's expression changed, and he sensed that his spirit energy might have increased beyond his imagination.
Two minutes.
Three minutes.
Five minutes passed, and Jiang Cheng finally felt a bit of fatigue, yawning.
But it was just a yawn.
"Does that mean my spirit energy is now five times stronger than before? And this isn't even my limit."
Jiang Cheng's eyes widened.
Gradually, another three minutes passed, and Jiang Cheng finally felt tired, and a bit dizzy.
But he was still far from his limit.
Nine minutes.
When the time reached ten minutes, the familiar feeling returned.
Jiang Cheng quickly averted his gaze and began massaging his head.
Ten minutes! He had lasted for a full ten minutes!
This meant that his spirit energy had increased tenfold compared to before! Previously, absorbing 200 Primal Energy Points was his limit.
Now he could absorb 2,000! Of course, his body might not be able to contain that many, but he could absorb some first, refine them, and then continue absorbing and refining in batches.
Jiang Cheng was thrilled.
This meant that the time it would take him to open the next three acupoints and become a Second Rank Force Warrior would be greatly reduced! When he hadn't entered the beginner stage, he could only absorb 200 Primal Energy Points at most each time, as refinement also consumed spirit energy.
If you include the first acupoint he opened, he could refine 600 Primal Energy Points per day, and the experience points for Crystal Shattering Technique would increase by 900.
To reach the next stage of Crystal Shattering Technique, he needed 30,000 experience points.
It would take about 33 days to open the next three acupoints and become a Second Rank Force Warrior.
But now, with his spirit energy increased tenfold, he could refine 4,200 Primal Energy Points! The 200 Primal Energy Points automatically absorbed by the first acupoint each day seemed insignificant compared to the 4,000 limit.
However, as the saying goes, even an ant is meat.
Refining an additional 200 Primal Energy Points per day is still good.
With this calculation, the time required, which was originally 33 days, is now reduced to less than 5 days to open the next three acupoints and become a Second Rank Force Warrior! What kind of speed is this?
According to Crystal Shattering Technique, just opening the second acupoint requires 20,000 Primal Energy Points!
