Chapter 148: Spiritual Power Greatly Boosted!

Carrying twenty bottles of Spirit Nourishing Pills, Jiang Cheng hurried as if flying.

When he reached the downstairs, he saw that the living room at home was still lit.

"Grandma and the others haven't gone to sleep yet, are they waiting for me in the living room?"

Jiang Cheng felt a bit ashamed.

In the afternoon, he called Chen Sao and told her he would be working overtime that night, might return late, and asked them to rest early.

It seemed that it hadn't worked.

At the doorway, he took out his key, opened the door, and indeed Grandma, Chen Sao, and Xiao Yue were all sitting in the living room.

Seeing Jiang Cheng appear, they all stood up.

"Xiao Cheng, you're back?"

The old man wore a smile all over his face.

"Xiao Cheng, have you eaten?"

Chen Sao hurriedly asked as well.

"I've eaten, Grandma, Chen Sao, didn't I tell you to go to sleep early?"

Jiang Cheng closed the door and feigned displeasure, saying,

"We were a bit worried."

Lin Yue said softly.

Since moving to Outer City District, her impression of Jiang Cheng in her heart had also changed.

Especially after moving here.

Jiang Cheng's figure became increasingly tall, causing her to involuntarily look up.

Hearing that, Jiang Cheng could not help but laugh and cry.

"What could I have done? Fine, stop standing, get some rest early; I'm also going to freshen up and rest."

Only then did the three nod, stand up, and leave.

Jiang Cheng shook his head helplessly.

He had a feeling that if he returned this late again tomorrow, Grandma and the others would still be waiting in the living room.

After a quick freshening up, he returned to his bedroom and locked the door.

Jiang Cheng opened the Visualization Diagram, and after a minute felt his Spiritual Power drained, with a stabbing pain in his head.

He immediately took a bottle of Spirit Nourishing Pill, unscrewed the cap, and poured one into his palm.

The pill was only the size of a pinky fingernail, yellowish.

Jiang Cheng opened his mouth, tilted his neck back, and with a gulp, swallowed the pill.

Just after swallowing, Jiang Cheng felt a surge of heat rushing to his mind; the stabbing sensation immediately eased, diminishing a little each second.

Two or three minutes later, the pain vanished completely.

It felt as if two hands were massaging his temples—very pleasant.

"One Primary Spirit Nourishing Pill lasts six hours and can fully restore Spiritual Power three times."

Jiang Cheng grabbed his phone and glanced; it was now 9:30.

That meant at 10:30 his Spiritual Power would be fully restored.

Then at 12:30 am and 3:30 am each would restore fully once.

He, of course, wouldn't just wait.

He poured out a second pill and swallowed it.

Then the third, the fourth…

Until finally he swallowed all ten pills from the bottle.

Jiang Cheng clearly felt his Spiritual Power invigorated.

And that feeling grew stronger.

However, he didn't intend to stop there.

With 167 Spirit Nourishing Pills, the Visualization Method could be entered.

So from now on, just watch the Visualization Diagram while pouring the pills into his mouth, and that's it.

If nothing goes wrong, he'll enter in six hours.

As for sleeping?

Even if he wanted to sleep, he probably couldn't.

So, he just skipped sleep.

One hour passed.

Two hours passed.

... More than five hours passed.

The next moment, Jiang Cheng felt a booming sound in his mind, as if something was flushed away, a massive energy moving within his mind.

"Is this Spiritual Power?"

Jiang Cheng's eyes widened.

He recalled Ye Ying saying that Spiritual Power could be expanded, compressed, and moved at will.

So he consciously guided that massive energy in his mind, and indeed it behaved as he had hoped.

He looked at the Panel.

【Lotus Visualization Method (Skilled Chapter): Entry (0/100000)】

The good news is, he had indeed entered.

The bad news is that the Experience Bar jumped tenfold directly.

Jiang Cheng inhaled a gasp of cold air.

Did the difficulty increase that much all at once?

No, it seems my Spiritual Power has also risen a lot.

Jiang Cheng had never felt his mind so clear as now, and even the forgotten memories from childhood floated vividly in his mind.

"Let's use the Visualization Diagram before us to verify it."

Jiang Cheng looked at the Lotus Leaf Diagram again.

After five seconds, the Experience Value increased a little.

"It seems the per‑second consumption of Spiritual Power hasn't changed."

Jiang Cheng felt a surge of joy.

He continued to stare at the Visualization Diagram.

Unconsciously, a minute passed.

If it were before the Entry, he would have given up long ago; his head would feel as if pricked by needles.

But now, he feels nothing at all.

Jiang Cheng's complexion changed; he sensed that his Spiritual Power might have risen beyond imagination.

Two minutes.

Three minutes.

After five minutes, Jiang Cheng finally felt some fatigue and yawned.

But it was only a simple yawn.

"So my Spiritual Power is now five times what it was before? And this isn't even my limit."

Jiang Cheng opened his eyes wide.

Gradually, another three minutes passed, and Jiang Cheng finally felt exhausted and a bit dizzy.

But there's still some distance to the limit.

Nine minutes.

When the time reached ten minutes, the familiar feeling returned.

Jiang Cheng quickly averted his gaze and massaged his head with his hand.

Ten minutes! I actually persisted for a full ten minutes!

That means my Spiritual Power has now increased tenfold compared to before! Previously, absorbing two hundred Force Light Points was the limit.

Now I can absorb two thousand! Of course, the body might not hold that many at once, but I can absorb some, refine them, then absorb another batch and refine again.

Jiang Cheng was extremely excited.

This means the time to open the remaining three Acupoints and become a Second-level Force Warrior will be greatly shortened! When the Visualization Method has not yet reached Entry, he can only absorb two hundred Force Light Points each time, and because refining also consumes Spiritual Power, actively absorbing twice a day is the limit.

If we count the first opened Acupoint, he can refine at most six hundred Force Light Points per day, increasing the Experience Value of the Breaking Jade Technique by 900 points.

And the Experience Bar for the next stage of the Breaking Jade Technique is 30,000 points.

It will take roughly 33 days to open the remaining three Acupoints and become a Second-level Force Warrior.

Now, with his Spiritual Power tenfold higher, still assuming two active absorptions per day, he can refine 4,200 Force Light Points! The original automatic absorption of 200 Force Light Points per day for the first Acupoint is negligible compared to the 4,000 figure.

But as the saying goes, even an ant is still meat.

Refining an extra 200 Force Light Points each day isn't bad.

By this calculation, what originally required 33 days now takes less than five days to open the remaining three Acupoints and become a Second-level Force Warrior! What speed is that?

According to the annotation of the Breaking Jade Technique, merely opening the second Acupoint requires twenty thousand Force Light Points!
