Chapter 280: Sensing Distance

Don't look at the 8,000 Experience Value as if it's a lot; in reality, it isn't as much as one might imagine.

Previously, just maxing out one Alchemy technique for Blood Qi Pill consumed four or five thousand Experience Value.

If this were switched to True Qi Pill, the required Experience Value would likely reach over ten thousand.

If I were to use up all my Experience Value by then, yet still be unable to raise it to the Consummation realm, that would be awkward.

Moreover, it is best to learn several Alchemy techniques together and then fuse them; only in this way is the cost-effectiveness the highest.

"Then what about using it on a Cultivation Method?" A hint of temptation stirred in Lu Yu's heart.

He knew that although the True Qi within his body had already surpassed that of Pulse Refining Realm Martial Artists at the same realm, it was still slightly insufficient overall.

If he could cultivate a few more Cultivation Methods and increase the extra bonus ratio of his True Qi to three times, five times, or even ten times, to what terrifying level would the True Qi in his body reach then?

However, upon second thought, Lu Yu felt that the priority of Cultivation Methods did not seem particularly high.

After all, when he hunts Fierce Beasts, he mainly relies on his bow and arrows.

Even in a direct fight with an enemy, his one thousand-plus points of True Qi are basically enough for now.

Therefore, he must use the Experience Value in the most critical place!

"How about using it on the Heaven-Man Induction Art?" Lu Yu muttered in a low voice.

Firstly, in order to obtain more Experience Value, he definitely has to go out hunting by tomorrow at the latest.

The target this time should ideally be an Elite-level Fierce Beast; if there is really no other way, an Advanced Fierce Beast will barely suffice.

Improving his sensory ability is like equipping himself with a super astronomical Telescope, and this Telescope is not limited to observing a 360-degree flat range, but a vast hemispherical field of view; even any movement in the sky would not be able to escape his eyes.

In this way, whether searching for the tracks of Fierce Beasts or hunting down enemies, it will be like adding wings to a tiger, greatly increasing the probability of success.

Secondly, if he can cultivate this Cultivation Method to Consummation, he will be able to start the process of completing the 【Emperor's Qi-Gazing Art】.

The more powerful a Cultivation Method is, the more advantageous it is to unlock it as early as possible.

"It's decided, I'll use it on the Heaven-Man Induction Art!" Lu Yu slapped his thigh hard and made his decision.

Regardless of whether he can ultimately raise it to the Consummation realm, every bit of enhancement to his sensory ability will inevitably bring a tangible benefit.

After adding the Experience Value, he will go to the Alchemy Room to refine Pills.

Before the Blood Qi Pill Alchemy was fused, 200 portions of Blood Qi Pill medicinal materials were enough for him to raise his realm to the middle stage of Pulse Refining.

Now that it has been fused, the probability of producing a Top-grade Blood Qi Pill is as high as 90%, and the other 10% might even be Heaven Grade.

He is already impatient to see how many Potential Points a Heaven Grade quality Blood Qi Pill can increase.

"Then let's begin!" With a thought, Lu Yu invested one point of Experience Value into the Heaven-Man Induction Art.

He saw the proficiency of the Heaven-Man Induction Art instantly increase by one four-hundredth.

"Four hundred points of Experience Value can get it to Entry; it seems it's still within an acceptable range. Perhaps I really can raise it to the Consummation realm." Lu Yu nodded slightly, his heart filled with anticipation.

Immediately after, he did not hesitate to add the remaining 399 points of Experience Value all at once.

In an instant, a strong feeling of swelling emerged in Lu Yu's mind.

This was a clear signal of an increase in Mental Power. Lu Yu hurriedly calmed his mind and felt it carefully, but he did not perceive any strange sensations.

It seems there was no sensory trait this time.

He hurriedly looked at the Skill bar, which displayed:

【Heaven-Man Induction Art: Initial Glimpse, Trait: Gather Spirit Level 1】

"As expected." Seeing this trait, a look of understanding appeared in Lu Yu's eyes.

This trait increases Mental Power; for every level raised, Mental Power can increase by 30%.

He currently possesses over 50,000 in Mental Power; increasing it by 30% would be over 10,000, which is quite considerable.

"Continue!"

With the experience from last time, Lu Yu added 800 points of Experience Value directly this time. Just then, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck his mind.

"!" Lu Yu's eyes instantly shone like stars, and he impatiently looked at the Skill bar.

【Heaven-Man Induction Art: Minor Accomplishment, Trait: Gather Spirit Level 2, Heaven-Human Induction Level 1】

"It's finally here!" Lu Yu was so excited that his breathing became rapid, and he hurriedly clicked to view the specific information.

【Heaven-Human Induction: Active Skill, after activation, consumes 1,000 points of Mental Power per second, can detect things within a radius of five kilometers around the body at the furthest; Note: the distance will be shortened due to obstruction by obstacles, each level the skill increases, Mental Power consumption increases by three times, and the radius increases by one time】

Lu Yu read it with full concentration, not missing a single word. Seeing the end, he took a deep breath.

It must be said that the sensing distance of this skill far exceeded his imagination.

Even if it is only Level 1 Heaven-Human Induction, the sensing radius has already reached 5 kilometers, which is exactly equivalent to the distance of teleportation items that most C-Class Awakened can afford.

From the description, for every level raised, the sensing radius can increase by one time.

If it reaches max level, any movement within a radius of forty kilometers will be completely within his perception range.

Of course, this is only a theoretical ideal state. Because in actual situations, it will be affected by many obstacles, such as houses, forests, walls, mountains, etc., all of which will cause the sensing radius to be greatly discounted.

But even with a 50% discount, a twenty-kilometer sensing radius is already a terrifying thing.

However, as the price for using this skill, the Mental Power consumption per second is extremely high.

Level 1 Heaven-Human Induction consumes 1,000 points of Mental Power per second, which is already a quite terrifying value for an average Awakened.

However, for Lu Yu, who has quite abundant Mental Power, this is just a piece of cake.

But, for Level 2 Heaven-Human Induction, the Mental Power consumption speed will triple!

That is to say, it requires 3,000 points of Mental Power per second!

Then what about Level 3? The consumption speed triples again, reaching 9,000 points of Mental Power per second!

Even for Lu Yu, he could only persist for eight or nine seconds at most.

If it reaches Level 4, the Mental Power consumption per second will soar to 27,000 points, and Lu Yu could only persist for three or four seconds at most...

"Although the price of using this skill is high, from a long-term perspective, it is definitely worth it," Lu Yu muttered to himself.

Furthermore, is 70,000-plus Mental Power really his limit?

How is that possible! If he could learn all the Mental Secret Manuals on hand, it would not be impossible for his Mental Power to break through one million.

By that time, what would a consumption of 30,000 points of Mental Power per second even amount to?
