Chapter 231: Infiltration Plan: Tang San Prepares to Play Dirty
After finishing the "Jerry Meditation Method," Tang San felt this cultivation technique was far more powerful than his own "Purple Demon Eye."
Cultivating the "Purple Demon Eye" has many restrictions: first, it can only be practiced when the Sun first rises; second, this technique places great importance on innate talent; third, to put it bluntly, the "Purple Demon Eye" is a slow-grinding technique, and cultivation is too time-consuming.
However, the "Jerry Meditation Method" is different; this technique belongs to the category of universal techniques.
It does not look at talent, everyone can practice it, and it can be practiced at any time; it is just that those with good talent cultivate faster.
The most important thing is that the cultivation of this technique only requires visualizing a portrait or statue of Jerry, and it also mentions that if one has personally seen Jerry in person, the cultivation effect is even better.
Even ordinary people without soul power can cultivate Spirit Power and likewise make themselves powerful.
Regarding the cultivation of this technique, Tang San has too many advantages because he is too familiar with Jerry.
Having grown up together since childhood and having met once more on Sea God Island after growing up, it can be said that he understands what Jerry looked like from childhood to adulthood.
When Tang San started testing, his Spirit Power reached 8,300 points, and then he continued to cultivate for a few months and it increased by 10 points.
The increase was truly too slow, but now after seeing the "Jerry Meditation Method," he could feel his Spirit Power clearly increasing after practicing it a little.
Now that Tang San saw the name of this technique, he no longer felt disgusted and started practicing it directly.
One week later, Tang San went to test his Spirit Power again: 8,410 points.
When he received this result, Tang San himself was stunned; he had originally just thought this "Jerry Meditation Method" was relatively good, but he had not expected the cultivation effect to be even better.
If this is the case, it won't be long before his Spirit Power reaches the ninth level.
Now, comparing the "Jerry Meditation Method" and the "Purple Demon Eye," what kind of thing is the "Purple Demon Eye"?
Furthermore, Tang San felt that by first improving his Spirit Power, learning things like alchemy later would be even simpler.
Anyway, he did not have an alchemy method right now, so he would first learn the methods for using Spirit Power that followed.
After learning the methods for using Spirit Power, Tang San felt depressed, but at the same time, he felt fortunate.
The methods for using Spirit Power clearly explained the method of Spirit Control, as well as three hundred methods for daily Spirit Power usage.
Seeing this, Tang San recalled the great battle between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire several years ago.
Before he met Jerry, his Zhuge Repeating Crossbow was invincible and easily captured several cities.
But when he encountered Jerry, the arrows he shot were all returned by Jerry.
So many arrows, all sent back at once, and all of them hit their mark; it seems Jerry's Spirit Power was already quite powerful back then.
That is why Tang San was so depressed; now that the entire continent is practicing the "Jerry Meditation Method," once Spirit Power is improved, one can practice the art of Spirit Control.
And the art of Spirit Control is merely an introductory means of using Spirit Power.
This time, everyone has started to attach importance to Spirit Power; it won't be long before they reach the Spirit Control stage. What use will his Hidden Weapons have then? What use will the Hidden Weapon techniques he learned have?
Even if his Hidden Weapons are powerful, if others can use Spirit Control, he won't even be able to touch them; do these Hidden Weapons still have any lethality?
The section after the art of Spirit Control writes about the introduction of some weapons for Spirit Control attacks. Whether looking at their appearance or their power, they are more practical than his Hidden Weapons.
Because most Hidden Weapons require hand-throwing, they all have a place to hold them, but Spirit Control does not require that; moreover, when Spirit Power is strong, Spirit Control can change direction according to one's own will.
He practiced for several years before he could learn special techniques to change the direction of his Hidden Weapons.
Thinking of this, Tang San felt very pained; the techniques he learned after many years of practice, for which he had put in so much effort and sweat, were inferior to the art of Spirit Control that could be learned after practicing for a short time.
He instantly felt that the Spirit Hall was truly deceitful; if you had such good things, couldn't you have publicized them widely earlier?
At first, only internal personnel of the Spirit Hall practiced it, which is one thing, but after it was announced later, couldn't you have emphasized it?
Tang San still remembers when the Spirit Hall announced the "Jerry Meditation Method," they just said that high Spirit Power makes learning things faster—a very simple introduction—and then it was put on the shelves in the Logistics Department.
And this name is so disgusting; Tang San had obtained this "Jerry Fa Guanxiangfa" five years ago.
It was because of the name that he didn't flip through it; he had originally planned to throw it away, but at the time he felt that keeping it could motivate himself, so he had always kept it in his Storage Spirit Tool.
Thinking of this, a wave of depression filled Tang San's heart: five years, five years.
If he had flipped through it at the time, with his own discernment, he definitely could have seen the extraordinary nature of this "Jerry Meditation Method," and he wouldn't have delayed five years of cultivation time.
If he had practiced the "Jerry Meditation Method" five years ago, then his Spirit Power would definitely be able to reach the ninth level now.
This name looks like it was chosen by Jerry himself; Jerry has been terrible at naming things since he was a child. The name has ruined me!
However, the place where Tang San felt fortunate was that there was still time to remedy the situation.
Moreover, he had obtained the "Jerry Meditation Method" and also learned the art of Spirit Control.
Relying on his familiarity with Hidden Weapons, he far surpassed others in the means of Spirit Control.
Tang San had personally crafted many Hidden Weapons over the years; he took out ten thousand Bone-Piercing Nails and then used the art of Spirit Control. It was very easy to control these ten thousand Bone-Piercing Nails; it seems ten thousand was not his limit.
Then he used the art of Spirit Control to make these Bone-Piercing Nails combine and attack.
Instantly, Tang San fell in love with the art of Spirit Control; even if his hand speed was fast, the number of Hidden Weapons he could launch was limited, and after throwing them, if he didn't kill the opponent, there was basically no possibility of recovery.
Now using the art of Spirit Control, ten thousand Bone-Piercing Nails flying around in the sky, shooting out and being retrieved, was simply too convenient.
And Tang San instantly grasped the essence: hundreds fired together, thousands fired together, ten thousand fired together, left-and-right interspersed attacks, front-and-back interspersed attacks, front-back-left-right-up-down simultaneous attacks, and even continuous attacks.
The more he used it, the more Tang San felt the power of the art of Spirit Control.
And Tang San felt that he was still a Blacksmith; if he were to craft all the weapons in the book, then the power would definitely increase by a lot.
For example, a weapon similar to the Bone-Piercing Nail: the Bone-Piercing Nail only has one sharp end; using the art of Spirit Control, it needs to turn around after every attack before it can attack again.
But the art of Spirit Control records a type of weapon that is sharp at both ends; after shooting it out, one can attack just by moving it backward.
Do not underestimate this point, thinking it is just a simple difference of turning around; when experts fight, things change in an instant, and one might lose their life just because of being a little slower than others due to turning around.
And besides the introduction of weapons for Spirit Control attacks, there are also some weapons for Spirit Control defense; it is simply both offensive and defensive.
Besides these attack and defense means, Tang San finished reading the three hundred methods for daily Spirit Power usage that followed.
Tang San also felt that Spirit Power was too powerful and too practical.
Every aspect of daily life could use the art of Spirit Control.
Simple things like traveling, opening doors, closing doors, picking things up, putting things down; if one were even lazier, cooking, eating, and putting on clothes could also be done—it simply stunned Tang San.
But thinking about it, it makes sense; besides cultivation, Jerry was indeed a bit lazy when he was young. Tang San felt that developing such means was entirely because of Jerry's laziness.
There were also some more advanced usages, such as picking medicinal herbs.
Previously, he needed to use special techniques and specific containers, but now he only needs Spirit Control to harvest herbs completely intact.
Moreover, after the Spirit Hall released the Encyclopedia of Herbs and launched the Huowu Chucun Jiezhi, there was no need to even mention herb preservation; it turned directly into transplantation.
Because of the Spirit Guidance Chucun Jie, Tang San had been paying special attention to Soul Guidance Devices during this period.
In the past, the master Yu Xiaogang had told him that the inheritance of Soul Guidance Devices had been severed, and the Soul Guidance Devices currently in use were all excavated from ruins.
Furthermore, after graduating from Shuaike, he had been focused on Cultivation and had not cared about these matters at all.
Later, he was forced into this Extreme North, a place rarely visited by people, so he saw even less of them.
It was only after developing his own forces that he slowly came into contact with Soul Guidance Devices.
Now it seems that it is not at all as the master said; Soul Guidance Devices are everywhere.
And now that the Spirit Hall has also announced the life profession of Soul Guidance Master, it seems this inheritance was never severed at all; the Spirit Hall had it all along, only they hid it and didn't speak of it.
Tang San would never have guessed that this Soul Guidance Master professional inheritance was something Jerry had researched again later on.
Seeing the various Soul Guidance Devices made Tang San realize the value of a Soul Guidance Master.
This reminded Tang San of one thing: back then, Sea God Island had been bombarded by Jerry using the Soul Guidance Device Control Technique.
This was something Tang San had witnessed with his own eyes; at the time, he was so scared he didn't dare to move.
Thinking of the way Jerry used the Soul Guidance Device Control Technique, with the sky full of Soul Guidance Devices—and they were Soul Guidance Devices capable of firing various energy attacks—after a round of firing, Sea God Island was turned directly into ruins.
This memory kept echoing in Tang San's mind; it was an indelible memory.
Moreover, he had also seen Jerry's Spirit Control methods on the ground at that time; they were both offensive and defensive, and he fought Poseidon to a standstill.
In the end, Jerry even had a type of Soul Guidance Device that even Poseidon had to defend against with all his might.
In an instant, Tang San felt that his previous Spirit Control technique was no longer appealing.
However, this Soul Guidance Device Control Technique was not mentioned at all in the Spirit Control technique; this was definitely a hidden trump card of the Spirit Hall.
While everyone else was using Spirit Control to fight with ordinary weapons, the Spirit Hall was directly using Spirit Control on Soul Guidance Devices.
Thinking of this, Tang San felt his scalp tingle.
He seemed to see himself controlling hundreds or thousands of Hidden Weapons, while the opponent directly controlled a pile of Soul Guidance Devices; his Hidden Weapons were instantly blasted to smithereens by the Soul Guidance Devices, which then bombarded him.
Thinking of this, Tang San flipped through the application methods of the Spirit Control technique again, confirming that it didn't even mention controlling Soul Guidance Devices.
This Spirit Hall is truly treacherous, too damn treacherous.
Fortunately, he had seen it, otherwise he would have been tricked too.
What they published were all simple usages; they didn't even mention the truly powerful methods.
This Spirit Hall really has a cunning plan!
Thinking of this, Tang San almost tore up the "Jerry Meditation Method," but in the end, he held back; although it lacked those powerful methods, the things inside were also quite good and provided him with a great boost.
Immediately, Tang San sent out another batch of followers to infiltrate the Wuhun City academy, giving them strict orders to study Soul Guidance Device knowledge diligently; even if they couldn't learn it, they had to take good notes.
Having realized the Spirit Hall's hidden methods, he had to reconsider things.
Tang San felt that he should absolutely not make a move until he obtained the complete data on Alchemists and Soul Guidance Masters.
It was better to hide and develop first; if he overthrew the Spirit Hall too early, these materials would inevitably be destroyed.
Moreover, profound knowledge requires hands-on instruction; those who can master profound data now are all internal personnel of the Spirit Hall.
These internal personnel have extremely high loyalty to the Spirit Hall.
If they refused to teach even at the cost of their lives, he would still have to grope and research even after obtaining the data.
That would be too time-consuming; it would be better to send people to learn now, and once they have learned all of this, it won't matter whether these internal personnel exist or not.
Furthermore, Tang San's mind was quite meticulous; the more he understood the Spirit Hall, the more he felt the Spirit Hall was hiding too much.
Just regarding the matters of Alchemists and Soul Guidance Masters, the Spirit Hall had researched them six or seven years ago, yet they only released them now; they were hidden too deep.
Tang San had a feeling that the Spirit Hall definitely still had many secrets.
These secrets were the most precious things in the Spirit Hall and the fundamental reason they had the confidence to release the current data; moreover, these secrets were the Spirit Hall's trump cards, which they would absolutely not make public now.
He needed to arrange for more followers to enter the Spirit Hall during this period and learn as much as possible.
And it shouldn't be limited to just Alchemists and Soul Guidance Masters; he needed to infiltrate people into other areas as well, so that he could understand the Spirit Hall more comprehensively.
Regardless of what the Spirit Hall hadn't exposed yet, he needed to learn what had already been published first.
And that Cultivation room for upgrading Spirit Rings, the method for crafting Spirit Rings, and so on—in the past, Tang San felt these were methods only gods could possess, but now they had been made universal by the Spirit Hall.
The Research Department of the Spirit Hall was truly a mysterious department, but Tang San had also learned during this period that not just anyone could enter the Research Department.
There were many conditions; one must have attended the Kindergarten, then the Primary Academy, then the Intermediate Academy, and the Advanced Academy, all in Wuhun City.
And after graduating from the Advanced Academy, if one wanted to enter the Research Department, one first had to pass the exam for the Research Academy below it.
After graduating from the Research Academy, one had to be assessed again, and only those who passed could officially enter the Research Department.
Everyone on the continent knew that the Spirit Hall had a Research Department with many good things inside; once you entered the Research Department, you could directly become a person above others.
Whether it was Alchemists, Soul Guidance Masters, or even the entire Research Department, Tang San wanted them all.
When he overthrew the Spirit Hall, he had to have these things in his own hands so that he could control the entire continent.
Often, Tang San kept wondering why the Spirit Hall didn't establish a country of its own now.
Then, by merging the two great empires of Heaven Dou and Star Dou, they would directly rule the entire continent.
Tang San felt that the Spirit Hall definitely had the strength for this; he just didn't know why they didn't do it and kept the two great empires and the Spirit Hall separate.
Regarding this matter, Tang San felt the Spirit Hall was very stupid; once unified into one country, it would be easier to manage, and in the future, everyone would be citizens of one empire, and there would be no more war.
But the Spirit Hall's current approach was different; they kept the two great empires. Perhaps the Spirit Hall could suppress them now, but what about a hundred years later, or a thousand years later?
Without the Spirit Hall's suppression, wouldn't the two great empires start fighting again?
Tang San knew that although the Spirit Hall still had a Pope now, the Pope no longer managed anything; the one truly managing the Spirit Hall was Jerry.
Jerry didn't even see this problem; it seemed his vision was also short-sighted.
Thinking of this, Tang San revealed a sly smile.
All he needs to do now is Cultivation, and then let his believers fleece the Spirit Hall, slowly infiltrating the Spirit Hall.
It would be best if these believers could mix into relatively important positions and get in touch with some confidential internal information, so Tang San has temporarily put the plan to overthrow the Spirit Hall on hold.
A powerful force fears nothing more than destruction starting from within; this move of Tang San's can be described as very clever.
These believers sneaked into Wuhun City, and they did not cause any destruction; they usually behaved just like other ordinary people, living, studying, and Cultivation in Wuhun City.
Without special means, it is truly impossible to tell that they are the moles sent by Tang San.
Jerry only knew that there was a force, and he did not know its name, which had made some small moves in the Extreme North; it had previously been in contact with illegal researchers, but it soon disappeared without a trace.
Moreover, they did not destroy the continent, which made it impossible to investigate, so he could only put it aside for now and wait for them to jump out before rounding them all up.
Now that people on the continent know the benefits of Spirit Power, Jerry's portraits are in short supply, and every square with a statue of Jerry is also overcrowded.
Not to mention other places, in Wuhun City alone, many people came to the door, requesting Jerry to attend some public events and let Jerry show his face more often, so that everyone could practice Spirit Power a little faster.
Too many people came to the door, which made Jerry very annoyed.
Finally, Jerry thought of a great trick: filming video tutorials. Now that there are Mobile Phones, video and music should also be launched.
However, it is not yet time for everyone to film freely; it can only be controlled by the Spirit Hall for now.
He arranged for some people to film a teaching video for the Jerry Meditation Method, in which Jerry appeared in person to explain it.
Moreover, in the video, Jerry was filmed very clearly, which can make the practitioner's Visualization more convenient.
That day, the push link for the video was sent to every Mobile Phone user.
The Jerry in the video was clearer than the portraits and statues.
After watching the video, they found that Jerry's explanation was more thorough and easier to understand than their own understanding.
Practicing the Visualization again, they found that they improved very quickly, and they shared it with their friends one after another.
Many people who had not bought a Mobile Phone before now wished they could own one immediately; even some ordinary people who had not yet embarked on the path of Cultivation came to buy Mobile Phones one after another.
The Mobile Phone has now become a must-have product for everyone.
Of course, this video is just an appetizer; there are more things that have not been released yet!
