Chapter 287: Chapter 151: Extraordinary
He looked again. The incense before him had burned to nothing but a pile of ash.
’...Three hundred silver, and that’s it?’
He let out a soft breath and checked his proficiency.
But what he saw made Qin Fang’s eyes go wide...
"It actually jumped by more than fifty points?!"
The progress of the ’Profound Nether Realm-Breaking Awl’ had gone from 226 all the way to 279!
A full 53-point increase!
...The efficiency was simply astonishing!
Qin Fang marveled inwardly...
’Worthy of three hundred silver, indeed.’
’The effect is truly amazing!’
He let out a soft breath and turned his head to look. The sky had already gone completely dark. ’This Contemplation Method really does take a lot of time.’
’Once you’re completely absorbed in it, you don’t notice the passage of time at all.’
With a soft sigh, Qin Fang got up and went to bed.
’...Even with the Nourishing Spirit Incense, a single Contemplation session was still exhausting.’
’I’ll sleep on it and test again tomorrow...’
「The next day」
Qin Fang rose, but he didn’t immediately use the ’Clear Heart Jade Dew Pill’. This time, he went straight into his seated Contemplation... ’I want to see if the Nourishing Spirit Incense has any lingering effects.’
Naturally, his hopes were unfounded. That day, his progress returned to normal... a mere 11-point increase in proficiency.
Still, his total proficiency was about to break the 300-point mark.
「On the third day」
Qin Fang took the ’Clear Heart Jade Dew Pill’... After a full day of meditation, the effect was even better than the ’Nourishing Spirit Incense’! His proficiency jumped by a full 91 points!
Nearly 100 points!
’As expected of an Elixir nearly three times more expensive than the Nourishing Spirit Incense. The effects are truly astonishing!’
’But the Nourishing Spirit Incense gave me an increase of over fifty points. While the Clear Heart Jade Dew Pill gives more, it’s not proportional to the price... It costs almost three times as much as the incense, but the effect isn’t even double...’
Qin Fang shook his head.
’The effect is great, but it’s obviously not very cost-effective.’
’But it does have a better effect, which saves time... Besides, this is just my situation. It might be different for others.’
The biggest difference between him and other people was that all medicinal effects were reflected directly on his panel, allowing him to see them with perfect clarity.
Other people... probably couldn’t make such a precise judgment.
「Another day passed」
Qin Fang didn’t take the ’Soul Condensing Crystal Ointment’, wanting to see if the Clear Heart Jade Dew Pill had any lingering effects.
Once again, he was naturally mistaken.
「On the fifth day」
Qin Fang finally took the ’Soul Condensing Crystal Ointment’...
He was filled with anticipation for this Treasure Medicine, which had cost him a whopping three thousand five hundred silver.
And the result...
did not disappoint.
The moment he swallowed the ’Soul Condensing Crystal Ointment’, an intensely cold sensation instantly flooded his mind. It felt as if his entire head was about to be frozen solid!
He hurriedly began to contemplate the ’Thought Sand’ and discovered that in his ’Seeing God’ state, the ’Thought Sand’ above his head was growing more and more solid, as if about to condense into reality itself!
The coldness surged through his head, a tangible force pouring into him without pause.
Finally, just as the text on his panel changed to ’Profound Nether Realm-Breaking Awl (Contemplation) (Spirit) (Minor Achievement): 1/5000’, the sand above his head in the ’Seeing God’ state completely condensed from nothingness into reality!
...Condensing Void into Reality!
The instant the Thought Sand became real, a wave of clarity washed over Qin Fang. The entire World suddenly seemed incredibly sharp and clear.
An inexplicable Perception bloomed into existence, mapping out the area around him!
He sensed the bed beneath him, and then it was as if he could see the clutter stuffed underneath it—wood shavings, a broken shoe, dust...
The scene under the bed was as real as if he were seeing it with his own eyes.
Qin Fang was utterly stunned.
’Is this... X-ray vision?’
It wasn’t just his surroundings; he could even ’see’ inside his own body.
He saw his bones, like Blood Jade, glowing with a soft, jade-like luster...
He saw his organs, and they were actually giving off faint pulses of white light. Within that light, they shifted gently...
He saw his blood vessels. The blood within them was as thick as Blood Mercury, rich with oxygen. With a single beat of his heart, this Blood Mercury-like blood surged through his entire body like a great tide...
He saw his muscles, each fiber dense and refined, like threads of steel...
He even saw his own skin. It looked ordinary at first, but upon closer inspection, he discovered a dense layer of something akin to scales covering the finest layer of his dermis. They were layered and packed tightly together, arranged just like the scales of a fish...
Qin Fang was completely dumbfounded.
This sight was too astonishing, completely beyond his comprehension.
Then, a sudden flash of insight, a moment of profound understanding, flooded his mind...
It was an Epiphany!
As the information from the Epiphany surfaced in his mind, Qin Fang murmured, "So this is... Divine Sense and Introspection?"
Divine Sense allowed him to see what was under his bed... Even though it was obscured from view, he could still ’perceive’ it.
It was a Sixth Sense, something beyond his normal five senses!
What’s more, it was a Sixth Sense he could Control!
And Introspection allowed him to see everything inside his own body...
It went without saying how useful this Introspection could be.
Whether during his cultivation or after suffering a serious injury, he could use Introspection to clearly see his progress or the state of his wounds!
...This was the effect of ’Condensing Thought into Sand’!
His Spiritual Power had gone from being a scattered, chaotic, and uncontrollable force without form or substance...
’...into a Divine Sense that he could ’see’ and ’touch’?’
Qin Fang was deeply shaken.
According to the Epiphany, if his Divine Sense continued to grow stronger, he could even use it to injure others!
...Injuring people with Divine Sense!
This was, in the truest sense of the word...
Extraordinary!
