389. Chapter 389: Fifth-level Spirit Mind Master

Back home, Jiang Cheng took out the Gold Bell Visualization Diagram and the Awakening Pills he had accumulated for about ten days.

That's right; tonight he will break through to become a Fifth-level Spirit Mind Master.

His gaze fell on the Visualization Diagram, and the Spiritual Power in his mind was rapidly consumed.

"Almost there."

Sensing that his Spiritual Power was nearly exhausted, Jiang Cheng opened two bottles of Awakening Pill and swallowed the medicine.

He didn't dare to eat them all at once, fearing that the recovery would be too fast and end up wasted.

In less than two hours, Jiang Cheng felt a booming in his mind as if an explosion had occurred; at that moment the whole world became clear, even time seemed to slow down.

"Finally Fifth-level."

A smile appeared on Jiang Cheng's face.

A Level 4 Spirit Thought Master's Spiritual Power is a thousand to two thousand times that of an ordinary person.

In contrast, a Fifth-level Spirit Mind Master's Spiritual Power is two thousand to five thousand times that of an ordinary person! Using a Psychic Weapon can unleash the power of a Heavy Machine Gun bullet and can strike repeatedly, unlike a Level 4 Spirit Thought Master, whose power ends after a single shot.

Because Spiritual Power doubles, each active absorption of Force Light Points reaches about 500,000 points; absorbing twice a day yields a million points.

For a Fifth-level Force Warrior, gaining an extra one million refinable Force Light Points daily is a tremendous surprise, since when Jiang Cheng was a Fifth-level Force Warrior, his acupoints automatically absorbed only about one hundred thousand Force Light Points each day.

The problem, however, is that Jiang Cheng is no longer a Fifth-level Force Warrior but a Ten-level Force Warrior!

Now his internal acupoints actively absorb ten million Force Light Points daily; although his Spiritual Power has reached Fifth-level, the time required to advance from a Ten-level Force Warrior to Grandmaster has not decreased much—at most a tenth saved, which is only two or three days.

Thinking of this, the smile on Jiang Cheng's face turned into a wry grin.

There's nothing that can be done about it.

If the Spiritual Power level were higher, or could also reach Ten-level, each active absorption could reach fifteen to sixteen million points—more than a Ten-level Force Warrior's daily acupoint intake.

That's just a single instance; two instances would double it.

Therefore, with the same aptitude and resources, a Ten-level Spiritual Thought Master cultivates at roughly two to three times the speed of a Ten-level Force Warrior.

Fortunately, even if Spiritual Power is insufficient, a Force Warrior can still cultivate, since the opened acupoints automatically absorb astonishing amounts of Force daily; in fact, the obstacles that hinder most people's cultivation are various bottlenecks, often leaving them unable to sense the location of the next acupoint.

"While the Spiritual Power is fully restored, continue refining Force."

Jiang Cheng gathered his mind and muttered to himself.

After Spiritual Power reaches Fifth-level, there is essentially no need to worry about the consumption of alchemy.

As for the Awakening Pill, even if he spent the whole day refining, it wouldn't be an issue, but the saying remains: alchemy is merely a means; the most important thing is one's own strength.

Only with strong strength does one have confidence; otherwise, one becomes a tool.

In the blink of an eye, several more days passed.

These days' life was no different from before.

At most, he got to know a few people like Ding Lei; when they met, they'd pause and chat briefly.

The days were indeed plain, so plain that Jiang Cheng felt a bit bored.

But to be honest, this place truly offers him a chance to quickly boost his strength.

For example, regarding the level of a Spiritual Thought Master, he is currently Fifth-level; advancing to Sixth-level would take several months, not to mention that nearly half of his Spiritual Power is spent on alchemy, which would double the required time. So he decided, as before, to honestly keep taking pills.

Advancing from Fifth to Sixth-level Spiritual Thought Master costs about four hundred million pills, enough to purchase a Fourth-grade Treasure.

He does want it.

The problem is that he can't muster the money; after all, he can't take the pills he saves each day and go buy them from Gao Ling, can he? The other side would be a fool and know something's off.

Of course, another way is to ask Gu Zhangkong, but even now Jiang Cheng isn't sure whether the latter is still reliable.

So he can only use the pills to boost his Spiritual Power.

Now he can only save enough ingredients each day to refine one batch of pills; after half a month to a month, as his Experience Value rises, he can save two batches. Looking at it this way, perhaps in about a month his Spiritual Power will break through again, making him a Sixth-level Spiritual Thought Master.

After another few months, once his Awakening Pill technique is perfected, he can guarantee three to four batches daily—three to four tens of millions, three days equals a hundred million, a month equals a billion!

Jiang Cheng truly can't think of any place better than here right now.

Of course, the premise is that he must never be discovered; otherwise, he won't die, but his situation will worsen until he becomes a complete tool.

That day, as usual, he returned from the Lian Dan Shi to his home, chatted with his family for a while, and just as he entered his bedroom to cultivate, his phone on his body vibrated.

Jiang Cheng was startled.

Since he put on the Light Brain a few days ago, he has basically been using it to contact others.

The people calling him via phone are basically acquaintances from the Outer City District.

"Could it be?"

He took out his phone, and indeed, the screen prominently displayed the two characters Qin Lao.

Jiang Cheng's face showed an expression of "just as I thought."

As soon as the call connected, Qin Lao's cheerful voice rang out.

"Little brother, how have you been lately? I heard you moved to the Inner City District?"

"Hmm, I've been here for almost half a month; Qin Lao, your news is quite prompt," Jiang Cheng said with a smile.

"Hi."

Qin Lao let out a wry smile, "If our information were truly that prompt, we wouldn't have taken half a month to learn this, especially since it was still in the Outer City District. Now that you've entered the Inner City District, it's even harder."

Upon hearing that, Jiang Cheng asked curiously, "Qin Lao, do you also have people here?"

"We do have some, but they're very few. Staying here is mainly to gather intel on major happenings within the city, which can't compare to the other several Rebel Armies."

"Among the Rebel Armies, are there several factions?"

Jiang Cheng finally voiced a question that had lingered in his heart for a long time.

"Hahaha, you kid."

Qin Lao laughed heartily, "Why are you probing so meticulously? Are you planning to join us? Or are you looking to learn our intel and sell it for profit?"

He asked, half joking and half serious,

Honestly, now he is internally very conflicted. (End of chapter)
