62: Chapter 62 Innate Wonders

"Generally speaking, the spirit power of an ordinary person is between 1 and 30 Hz.

For martial artists who have just stepped onto the path of martial arts, their spirit power usually sees a slight increase after initial blood qi nourishment.

For ordinary martial artists, spirit power is roughly in the range of 40 to 50 Hz."

"If it can reach 60 to 70 Hz, they are considered geniuses in the general sense.

The vast majority of New Students recruited by our Modu University of Martial Arts every year fall into this bracket.

They are the cream of the crop among their peers."

"If it can reach 70 to 80 Hz, that is a peerless genius, one in a hundred or even one in a thousand.

These types of people have extremely high comprehension and super strong learning abilities."

"As for 80 to 90 Hz..."

Xiao Huo's tone carried a hint of emotion, "That's at the level of a monster.

Looking at the whole of Xia Country, not many appear in a year.

Every one of them is a treasure cultivated as a future pillar by major top forces and academies."

At this point, Xiao Huo gave Qin Yan another meaningful look.

"It is often only with this kind of spiritual talent...

...that it's possible to comprehend and quickly master those obscure and difficult top-tier Body Tempering Martial Arts during the low-grade period."

Qin Yan: "..."

"And 90 to 100 Hz..."

Xiao Huo's expression became incredibly solemn, "This is called a Natural Genius, or a Divine Seed.

People who reach this level often possess some behaviors or abilities that differ from ordinary people from birth.

For instance, having a photographic memory is just common.

Some can even vaguely sense good or bad fortune, or possess inconceivable abilities in specific fields.

They are truly the favored children of heaven."

"All these classifications above are based on a large number of observations and empirical conjectures.

After all, spirit power cannot be manifested and measured if it's below 10 Hz."

"However," he changed the subject, "interestingly, it is actually the 'natural geniuses' estimated in the 90 to 100 Hz bracket...

...whose performance is often so prominent and abnormal.

Like a crane among chickens, they are actually the easiest to identify in the early stages."

Qin Yan listened intently, feeling as if a door to a new world was slowly opening before him.

There was simply too much knowledge he didn't understand and needed to learn.

At the same time, he recognized a 'cruel' fact—according to this standard, his spirit power clearly written as 42 Hz on the panel...

...didn't even reach the average line for New Students at Modu University of Martial Arts.

"Teacher," Qin Yan suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked in an urgent and sincere tone, "then... is there any way to increase spirit power?"

This was the issue he was most concerned about right now.

If this shortcoming in spirit power wasn't patched up as soon as possible, he would find it difficult to make any progress in the path of alchemy and future martial arts.

After all, the panel couldn't directly increase his level!

Xiao Huo seemed to have expected him to ask this and replied, "There are naturally quite a few methods to increase spirit power.

But for a martial artist like you who is still in the low-grade stage, currently the safest and most universally applicable one is only one."

"What is it?" Qin Yan pressed.

"Take the 'nourishing spirit pill'," Xiao Huo gave the answer.

"This is a first grade pill specifically designed for low-grade martial artists, with mild medicinal properties.

Its main function is to nourish the spirit and relieve mental fatigue.

And it can steadily accelerate the natural increase of spirit power by a small margin.

It's considered a fundamental pill for solidifying the spiritual foundation."

"nourishing spirit pill..." Qin Yan firmly etched this name into his heart.

"Alright, you've over-consumed your spirit power today, go back and rest well first.

Recovering your spirit is the first step, do not act with undue haste."

Xiao Huo waved his hand, ending the conversation.

"Yes, your student understands. I shall take my leave."

Qin Yan bowed respectfully and left the Alchemy Room with a heavy yet urgent heart.

Watching Qin Yan's departing back, Xiao Huo rubbed his brow, unable to help feeling a bit of a headache.

The mist surrounding this little disciple seemed to be getting thicker and thicker.

That inconceivable learning speed, combined with this clearly illogical spirit power performance, formed a massive contradiction.

"At this point, I can only take it one step at a time.

Perhaps there is something special about him..."

Xiao Huo murmured to himself, temporarily suppressing his doubts.

Qin Yan returned to his manor villa almost without stopping.

Closing the door, he immediately and impatiently checked the detailed information on the 'nourishing spirit pill' through the academy's official website.

Information quickly popped up on the light screen:

[Name: nourishing spirit pill]

[Grade: first grade]

[Main Effect: Nourishes the spirit, relieves mental fatigue, and slightly accelerates the natural spirit power increase of low-grade martial artists.]

[Exchange Price: 1 academic credit/pill]

[Precautions: It is recommended not to take more than three pills per week. Excessive consumption leads to diminishing effects and may cause spiritual instability.]

"1 academic credit per pill!"

Looking at that stinging price, the corners of Qin Yan's mouth twitched slightly.

His entire net worth right now was only the 1 academic credit rewarded for getting tenth place in the Monthly Exam.

This was equivalent to spending his entire fortune to exchange for this single pill!

However, thinking of his pitiful 42 Hz spirit power...

...thinking of that feeling of being unable to control things during alchemy, and thinking of the future martial arts bottlenecks...

Qin Yan only hesitated for a brief moment before his gaze became firm again.

"Buying it!"

He no longer delayed and directly placed an order for the exchange.

After a short while, a faint humming sound came from outside the manor.

A small delivery robot had already delivered the sealed pill to the door.

Qin Yan retrieved a simple and elegant jade box and opened the lid.

A faint, refreshing, and cool medicinal fragrance immediately filled the air.

Inside the jade box, a pill the size of a longan lay quietly on a soft silk lining.

The pill was a warm, milky white color throughout.

Its surface was incredibly smooth, faintly shimmering with a jade-like luster.

"This is actually a high-grade spirit nurturing pill!"

Qin Yan was slightly surprised.

He had already learned that for pills of the same name, based on the control of the heat during refinement, the perfection of the medicinal material fusion, and the amount of efficacy locked in when the pill is finally formed...

...their quality could be worlds apart.

They were usually classified into three grades: low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade.

A high-grade pill meant that the efficacy reached 100% of the theoretical value, was flawless, and contained almost no Pill Toxin impurities.

After consumption, it could be absorbed to the maximum extent without placing any burden on the martial artist's body.

This was the first choice pursued by all geniuses and children of great families.

Mid-grade pills had an efficacy of only about 70% and contained a small amount of Pill Toxins.

Although they could still work, after consumption, the martial artist would need to spend extra time and energy to circulate their power to refine and expel these toxins.

Otherwise, if accumulated, they might block the meridians and affect subsequent tempering efficiency.

For martial artists who were short on resources or eager to break through, this was the second-best choice.
