Sure, here is the translation:
In the living room, Qin Siyu focused intently on the brainless TV drama that had already started.
Jiang Hou thought of something at that moment and said, "Siyu, how are you feeling today?"
The girl, knowing what he meant, waved her small fist: "I feel great, full of energy all day, and I clearly feel much stronger."
"Put this on and scan to see how much improvement there is."
As he spoke, Jiang Hou took out a smart watch for official members, which was the detector he replaced before.
With Jiang Hou's help, Qin Siyu quickly logged into the branch website as a temporary observer member and opened access to basic functions in the backend.
Qin Siyu curiously fiddled with the black watch on her wrist: "Is this all right, Jiang Hou?"
"Yes, press here to start scanning body data."
"Okay."
Under Jiang Hou's instructions, Qin Siyu pressed the left button and then felt a weak, invisible light wave penetrate her wrist and body.
Beep beep!!
Qin Siyu's data appeared on the watch screen.
'Physical strength 2.9, energy fluctuations with timeless characteristics detected in the body, classified as Innate Superpower User, awakening ability unknown, level undeterminable.'
"2.9, seems effective," Jiang Hou smiled.
Qin Siyu's physical condition before eating crab roe in the morning was about 2, nearly double that of the average person, and now, in just a day, it has almost doubled.
This growth rate is even faster than when Jiang Hou first awakened.
But it makes sense, as this is the essence of a Tier Seven Ferocious Beast, even a small piece contains rich and astounding energy.
Yet, Qin Siyu's simple physical strength is equivalent to just crossing the threshold of Tier One Transcendent, and dumping such substantial resources without noticing significant improvement would be odd.
Only currently uncertain how long it will take for 'resistance' to occur.
If this strength increase continues, after consuming the stored 'crab roe', the girl's simple physical strength could be comparable to Tier Four Peak within a year.
Taking a year for physical strength to enhance to Tier Four Peak.
Thinking about this, Jiang Hou suddenly felt that this upgrade speed was too slow and too weak.
"Siyu, would you like to hold a nominal position at Heaven's Punishment?"
Qin Siyu blinked: "This nominal position, is it the kind where you do nothing but get paid?"
"Sort of, I can list you in the support department as an 'observer member,' but you'll only receive a basic allowance of ten thousand monthly."
"But the money isn't important; the main thing is to secure an official identity with Heaven's Punishment, which might be useful in the future."
The girl obediently said, "If you think it's useful, Jiang Hou, then list it. I'll listen to you."
"Alright, I'll sort it tomorrow," Jiang Hou patted the girl's hair and then opened the Sutra of the Original Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in his hand to prepare for study and research.
"Thus I have heard, the Buddha was at Trayastrimsa Heaven, where boundless worlds of the ten directions gathered all Buddhas, along with great Bodhisattvas and Maha Bodhisattvas.
In this defiled and evil world, they manifested inconceivable great wisdom and strength to subdue obstinate beings, understanding pain and pleasure doctrines, sending emissaries to inquire after the World Honored One..."
Just a few hundred words in and Jiang Hou was already feeling overwhelmed.
He knew each word, but the combination made no sense to him. Fortunately, the poster included annotations at the end of each page.
Referring to them, Jiang Hou quickly learned that the Sutra of the Original Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva primarily spoke of the meaning of the Five Poisons.
The so-called Five Poisons are greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and doubt, representing all human troubles and pain. Greed represents human desires for wealth, sex, food, and fun.
On a deeper level, it embodies the want to control the external world and everything around it, desiring endlessly, all of this is 'greed'.
Anger represents being upset, furious, and the anger here isn't just emotion but includes resentment toward life, hatred, dissatisfaction—all representing anger.
Similarly, ignorance isn't just being foolish but also involves slow thinking and shortsightedness.
The Five Poisons arise from consciousness and mind; all mental and physical pain stem from various desires.
To cultivate the mind, one must first understand oneself, find the pathogens of the Five Poisons within the mind, and then cut them off one by one until the mind is transparent and pristine like pure glass, unstained by dust.
With a mind like glass reflecting inside and out, any pollution merging into consciousness, spirit, or even soul will become invisible.
The scripture is about twenty thousand words, but the annotations from the poster reached over a hundred and ten thousand words, and Jiang Hou spent about two hours reading it all.
After finishing, he was in a state of bewilderment.
Though the Sutra of the Original Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had annotations and Jiang Hou understood the Five Poisons' meaning, what next? How can one understand oneself and achieve the realm of a mind like glass?
The girl, long finished with the television, hesitantly asked, seeing Jiang Hou deep in thought: "Jiang Hou, facing some trouble?"
"A bit."
Jiang Hou came to his senses and smiled wryly: "Earlier, I encountered two legendary strong beings from Heaven's Punishment, and they suggested I take time to read the Taoist and Buddhist Scriptures, cultivate the mind."
"But this stuff is truly unreadable; despite having detailed vernacular annotations, I still feel bewildered after finishing the full text, can't grasp it."
"How do you understand oneself, meditation?"
"Even though I can perceive the existence of consciousness, where is the mind?"
"Consciousness reflects thought, but the mind seems to belong to a deeper level, even more elusive than a soul that exists but cannot be sensed."
At this point, Jiang Hou felt overwhelmed, it was too difficult.
"Is it that hard? Should I try? Our homeroom teacher said I have an innate wisdom," the girl seemed eager to help seeing Jiang Hou troubled.
"What innate wisdom, the teacher said you are very clever," Jiang Hou corrected.
Before high school, both were in the same school and class, therefore, Qin Siyu's homeroom teacher was also his, hence he knew about this.
Nonetheless, Jiang Hou handed over the scripture in his hand to her.
"Take a look."
Hehe!! The girl took the heavy scripture, but when she opened it and saw the ambiguous Buddhist text, she was dumbfounded.
Unyielding, the girl looked serious and began reading from the beginning, word by word.
"Thus I have heard, the Buddha was at Trayastrimsa Heaven, where all Buddhas and Great Bodhisattvas Maha Bodhisattvas from limitless worlds of the ten directions gathered..." Qin Siyu's voice was gentle, carrying a magnetic quality.
The silent living room was filled with the girl's chanting voice, an indescribable ethereal and sacred sense permeated the air.
Especially when the frequency of the girl's voice, including that ethereal sense, gradually overlapped with the Sanskrit sound by Jiang Hou's ears, his eyes brightened vastly, vaguely seeing something yet felt slightly lacking.
"Siyu, use your ability to continue chanting, don't stop."
Seeing Jiang Hou sitting cross-legged on the sofa, his black-red hair moving without wind and a solemn expression, Qin Siyu didn't speak, she just moved her mind to stimulate.
Instantly, a golden light emitted from the mark between the girl's brows, the restored strength of Word Spirit poured out and merged into her voice, the Buddhist text.
Buzz!
The virtual room shone, the entire living room was enveloped in spontaneously appearing golden Buddhist light, each time the girl opened her mouth, a golden Buddhist script flew out and merged into Jiang Hou's body.
