Chapter 207: Visualization Method Breakthrough

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng stood up and left the venue.

Following the instructions, he went to pay and collect the auction items.

The nearby Mojing Nv hesitated for a moment upon seeing this, but still did not stand up to follow.

In fact, she had been watching Jiang Cheng all along.

When she saw Jiang Cheng acquire bottle after bottle of Intermediate Spirit Nourishing Pill, she felt both envy and resentment.

She did want to raise the difficulty for Jiang Cheng, but in her hand she only had a few tens of thousands of cash, intended to buy the later Secret Medicine.

If she used it to bid on Spirit Nourishing Pill and the other party saw her bid and gave up, she would lose the chance to buy the later Secret Medicine.

After pondering, she decided to drop it.

As for not following, that was one reason.

The other reason was that even if she followed Jiang Cheng, there was a high probability she wouldn't be teleported to the same location, making it just a waste of time.

But she noted this grudge for today.

Arriving at the back, Jiang Cheng entered the password; his account balance instantly dropped to just over a hundred thousand, and at the same time a large bundle of Spirit Nourishing Pill was handed to him.

Jiang Cheng inspected everything, and after confirming no errors, he proceeded toward the teleportation room.

There were three in total, and each room contained a small teleportation array.

Only one person could enter at a time; the others either went to the other two rooms or queued outside.

Jiang Cheng arrived at just the right moment; the right-hand room had just finished teleporting, he walked in, and the door behind him automatically closed.

In the center of the room, a circular platform seemed built from rocks, surrounded by a ring of stone pillars bearing indecipherable carvings; in the middle stood a raised platform just large enough for one person to stand on.

Two masked figures stood outside the array; one pointed at a map on the wall and said, "Within this circle, choose the place you wish to go; you don't need to speak it, just point to it."

Jiang Cheng stepped forward and selected a location near his own home.

After all, the people here didn't know where his house was; if he chose a detour, the chance of encountering danger on the way back would be high.

"Is the Bid Token on you?"

Jiang Cheng nodded.

"Then there's no problem; just stand on the platform."

Jiang Cheng walked to the center and stood atop the raised platform.

"3."

"2."

"1."

Jiang Cheng felt his vision go black, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself inside a residential complex, surrounded by darkness.

He quickly looked to his right hand; the bag was still there, heavy.

He glanced at his body and found nothing missing.

After a moment of daze, he whispered, "Truly amazing."

He walked out of the complex gate with confidence, and Jiang Cheng's figure quickly vanished into the night.

When he was near home, Jiang Cheng climbed over the wall into the complex.

He took out his key, opened the front door, entered the house, and after closing the door, Jiang Cheng finally let out a sigh of relief.

All the way, he was on edge, fearing an ambush, but when he thought about it, he realized that within a five‑hundred‑meter radius, the chance of being ambushed was minimal.

Footsteps sounded inside the bedroom.

Jiang Cheng hurriedly removed his mask.

"Snap!"

The door opened, Chen Sao poked her head out, and asked with concern, "Xiao Cheng, you're back? Have you eaten? If not, I'll make you something."

"I've eaten."

Jiang Cheng smiled, "Chen Sao, it's getting late, you should go to sleep; I also plan to wash up and go to bed."

"Alright, remember to sleep early."

Chen Sao gave a slight smile and closed the door.

Jiang Cheng hurried to his own bedroom and locked the door.

He took out the Visualization Diagram stored in his bag.

After unfolding it, he just stared at it.

After five seconds, the Experience Value increased slightly.

Five minutes later, Jiang Cheng felt a bit fatigued, so he took out the Spirit Nourishing Pill beside him and placed them into his mouth one by one. Unconsciously, six hours passed.

The Visualization Method Experience Value finally reached one hundred thousand points.

"Boom—"

It seemed as if something exploded in his mind.

Immediately after, an energy five times larger than before surged through his mind.

He had never been as clear‑minded as at this moment.

Jiang Cheng snapped back to reality and hurriedly looked at the Panel.

【Lotus Visualization Method (Skilled Chapter): Proficient】

Indeed, it was already at Proficient level.

But the Experience Bar no longer displayed afterward.

After all, the Visualization Method he obtained only went up to the Skilled Chapter.

"It's a bit troublesome now."

Jiang Cheng frowned.

The subsequent content definitely cannot be bought inside the meeting.

Otherwise it would be tantamount to exposing one's Spiritual Thought Master identity.

Moreover, this speed is way too fast; he really fears that the meeting would grab him, use him as a lab mouse for research, or ask him for any secrets.

If it can't be bought inside the meeting, then you have to find a way on the Black Market.

The Black Market's auction has two sessions; the first is prepared for Spiritual Thought Masters, but you need to prove your identity to enter.

During the day it wasn't possible for me, but now it should be.

Thinking this, Jiang Cheng looked at an empty bottle on the table.

A thought stirred.

The empty bottle immediately floated from the table into midair.

Jiang Cheng formed another thought.

The empty bottle whooshed and slammed into the wooden door.

"Pop!"

It fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

Although his mind was already prepared, actually doing it still left him extremely excited.

The next moment, he took out his portable Handgun magazine and removed a single bullet.

Using Spiritual Power, he made it float, then accelerated its movement.

As expected, it moved far faster than before, to the point that he could not see it with the naked eye.

"Accelerate to maximum!"

Jiang Cheng's mind surged with this thought, and the Spiritual Power in his brain instantly emptied.

At the same time, the bullet flying in the air suddenly accelerated, and with a "bang", it shot into the cabinet.

It was as if it had been fired from a barrel.

Jiang Cheng opened the wardrobe, found a bullet hole on the wall, then searched underneath and discovered the deformed bullet.

"Impressive."

He muttered to himself.

The power of this bullet was almost comparable to that of a Handgun.

If it struck a normal person's vital point, death would be certain!

Of course, just this alone still leaves a considerable gap compared to a Level 1 Spirit Mind Practitioner.

The strongest strike of a Level 1 Spirit Mind Practitioner generates impact comparable to a First-level Force Warrior, equivalent to a single bullet fired from an ordinary Rifle.

Because of its small size, despite having the same kinetic energy, the final damage is far greater than that of a Force Warrior of the same level, plus the advantage of distance.

However, a First-level Force Warrior is more enduring, able to deliver multiple 200‑kilogram heavy blows, whereas a Level 1 Spirit Mind Practitioner, limited by Spiritual Power, can only do it once.

Later, as Spiritual Power increases and one becomes a Level 2 Spirit Mind Practitioner, the strongest strike is roughly as powerful as the maximum output of a Rifle.

After Level Three, one can use it repeatedly; when participating in the Third-level Assessment, one can, using Spiritual Power, manipulate multiple objects with total kinetic energy reaching 5,000 joules, thereby passing the assessment.

For example, Ye Ying, as a Fifth-level Spirit Mind Master, can unleash a strike equal to the power of a Heavy Sniper Rifle, or split Spiritual Power to fire a dozen rifle‑like bullets, or even hundreds of Handgun bullets.
