Chapter 318: Spirit Imprint

"Uncle Wang, please don't be so formal." Lu Yu waved his hand lightly.

He was not gifting these items to Wang Liang in exchange for the man's gratitude. In reality, he had already conceived a long-term plan in his mind.

He intended to spend a large sum of money to purchase a Cloud Jade Fruit once Wang Liang had cultivated to the Transformation Realm.

The Cloud Jade Fruit could enhance a Martial Artist's Origin True Qi; if he were there to protect the dharma, he believed Wang Liang would not encounter any danger while consuming it.

In this way, Uncle Wang could become a true Pulse Refining Realm Martial Artist.

He had the same intentions for his own family.

He did not expect his father and younger brother to possess immense combat power after becoming Pulse Refining Martial Artists; he only hoped they would have the ability to escape when encountering danger.

Wang Liang wanted to say something more, but the words stuck in his throat.

At this moment, words seemed so powerless; only actual actions could express the gratitude in his heart.

After a short while, Lu Yu returned home.

Upon hearing the news brought by Wang Liang, Lu Guohao hurried back in a rush.

Seeing that Lu Yu was safe and sound, his tense nerves finally relaxed, and he immediately asked, "Xiao Yu, how is Xiaohai doing?"

"He has successfully passed the assessment and become a member of the Awakened Association," Lu Yu replied with a smile on his face.

Since everyone present was family, he felt there was nothing to hide.

"That's good." A look of relief instantly blossomed on Lu Guohao's face.

For the past two days, Qin Lianjun and his wife had been filled with anxiety and had barely slept a wink. If they heard this news, they would surely be overjoyed.

"Dad, Mom, Xiaojun, I brought you two bottles of Top-grade Blood Qi Pill this time I came back. Taking them can significantly speed up your cultivation progress." As he spoke, Lu Yu gently placed the two bottles of Pill on the table.

"Top-grade Blood Qi Pill?" Lu Jun asked curiously, "Brother, what is a Top-grade Blood Qi Pill?"

"Silly child." Geng Lian gently touched Lu Jun's head and said tenderly, "Of course, this is an extremely precious and good thing."

"Xiao Yu, this Top-grade Blood Qi Pill must be very expensive, right?" Lu Guohao had heard of Blood Qi Pill and said subconsciously, "Xiao Yu, you need it more while you are out adventuring. You should keep it for yourself. We are staying in the Zhai; it's not like you, who are out there braving the wind and rain."

"That's right, Xiao Yu, you should keep these two bottles for yourself to take," Geng Lian also chimed in from the side.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I don't rely on these things much anymore," Lu Yu said with a smile. His parents' reaction was exactly as he had expected.

He opened one of the bottles, poured out a Pill, and continued, "Given your current situation, the medicinal power of a whole Top-grade Blood Qi Pill is too strong. You can cut it into five or six pieces and take one piece at a time.

Wait until the medicinal power is basically digested before taking the next piece. If you combine this with your daily cultivation, your Realm will improve much faster."

Hearing the words "Realm improvement," a flash of eager light could not help but flicker in Lu Guohao's eyes.

"Mom, you can also take some in your daily life; it is very helpful for Strengthening Body. Don't worry about running out; I have plenty of these on hand," Lu Yu said, looking at Geng Lian.

"Alright, alright." Geng Lian hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.

"That's settled then, I'm going upstairs to rest for a while," Lu Yu said with a smile.

He calculated that when he left, he would give another bottle to Ji Bingyu and tell her that the day of the sisters' reunion would be within these next few days.

Lu Yu walked slowly up the stairs, while the eyes of the family of three remained fixed on the two bottles of Pill on the table. Could it be that Xiao Yu came back this time specifically to give them these?

Returning to his bedroom, Lu Yu stretched his body, then sat down on the sofa and cast his gaze toward the panel.

Experience Value: 358,000

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

Let's start with the 【Heaven-Man Induction Art】. The last time, the Experience Value was only enough to raise this Mental Secret Manual to the Great Success realm; it was still lacking a bit of heat.

Lu Yu moved his mind.

6,400 points of Experience Value vanished instantly, and at the same time, the Mental Power in his mind surged once again like a raging tide.

"It seems I didn't unlock the Consummation trait this time," Lu Yu sighed slightly.

Apart from an increase in Mental Power, there were no other special sensations.

【Heaven-Man Induction Formula: Consummation, Traits: Gather Spirit Level 5, Heaven-Human Induction Level 4】

The Level 5 Gather Spirit trait increased his Mental Attribute by 1.5 times.

And the Level 4 Heaven-Human Induction was quite different.

The sensing range jumped from a 20-kilometer radius at Level 3 to 40 kilometers! This meant that if he were in Yongan City, he could almost sense the situation there.

Of course, with such powerful sensing ability, the consumption rate of Mental Power was also astonishing.

Level 1 Heaven-Human Induction required 1,000 points of Mental Power per second; Level 2, 3,000; Level 3, 9,000; and Level 4 was as high as 27,000.

"Still within the bearable range," Lu Yu muttered to himself.

A forty-kilometer sensing range was truly terrifying.

Just then, a piece of information suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Could it be..." A flash of surprise crossed Lu Yu's eyes.

【Detected that Heaven-Man Induction Art has reached Consummation, can be upgraded to the next realm. Upgrade?】

"It really is!" Lu Yu clenched his fists involuntarily.

Could it be that because his Mental Power reached a higher level, it triggered the upgrade conditions?

Since that was the case, there was nothing to hesitate about; naturally, he chose to upgrade without hesitation.

Lu Yu clicked "Yes."

In an instant, the Mental Power in his mind surged violently again. Not only that, but a strange sensation welled up in his heart.

Lu Yu's eyes lit up.

It seemed... a new trait had been unlocked?

A moment later, the Skill column for the Heaven-Man Induction Art had indeed changed again.

【Heaven-Man Induction Art: Chushen Ruohua, Traits: Gather Spirit Level 6, Heaven-Human Induction Level 5, Spirit Imprint Level 1】

"Spirit Imprint?" Lu Yu looked curiously at this newly appeared trait.

【Spirit Imprint: Active Skill. After activation, you can leave a mark on the opponent's soul. Within a thousand miles, you can sense the opponent's aura. The greater the gap in Mental Power, the higher the success rate. Each level the skill increases, the sensing distance increases tenfold.】

"So it is a marking-type Skill." Lu Yu suddenly realized.

This Skill can be used for tracking, and it can also be used to protect family members.

For example, by placing a Spirit Imprint on his family, he can determine whether they are safe by sensing the strength of the aura on them.

Furthermore, unlike Heaven-Human Induction, which requires continuous activation and constant consumption of Mental Power, the Spirit Imprint only consumes Mental Power when applied, and subsequently acts more like a passive Skill.

Moreover, compared to Heaven-Human Induction, its sensing range is much further.

A distance of five hundred kilometers—let alone being in Yongan City, even if he were in a medium-sized city, he could still sense the condition of his family in Lu Family Fort.

If the proficiency level were raised by another grade, the sensing range could reach five thousand kilometers! In this way, even if he were far away in a Jiangnan Great City, it would be no problem at all.

Of course, everything has two sides.

The disadvantage of the Spirit Imprint is that the operation is relatively troublesome; to sense a specific person, one must mark them one by one, which dictates that it can only be applied to a very small number of people.

In addition, the Heaven-Man Induction Art has now been upgraded to level 5.

It can sense the situation within a radius of 80 kilometers at its maximum!

That is to say, if he activates this Skill while in Yongan City, every move within the Lu Family Stockade cannot escape his perception.
