59: Chapter 59 Mental Energy

Today's harvest was absolutely massive!

Shortly after leaving the Highway this morning, the drone discovered a Mountain Bursting Bear, along with the silver treasure chest it had been kneeling before!

Very fortunately, the silver treasure chest happened to contain a primary thunder cannon. In the end, using the Thunder Cannon, he wiped out the Gold-eating Ant nest in the small valley along with a large number of Gold-eating Ants...

The massive amount of loot, combined with the golden treasure chest, meant he hit the jackpot!

The only regret was that he had only obtained an ordinary vehicle upgrade stone today; he was still missing the ordinary vehicle blueprint to upgrade the tricycle!

...

Inside the carriage, Qin Yun, sitting in his seat, took out all the ordinary blood essence and ordinary soul beads from his space ring.

He pointed to the blood essence and soul beads on the table and began distributing them: "One piece of blood essence each, and two soul beads each. Soak the soul beads in water before cultivating; it might be of some help to your cultivation!"

Every time he drank the soul water made from soaking the soul beads, Qin Yun would carefully perceive and experience it.

He couldn't say for sure if cultivating in that state would increase the speed of cultivation, but it would certainly increase the speed of comprehending cultivation techniques!

"Thank you, Master Vehicle Owner. Filia will definitely work hard to cultivate!"

"Lilith will also work hard to cultivate, make herself stronger, and then help Master Vehicle Owner!"

"Gu Anran will clear away all obstacles ahead for Master Vehicle Owner!"

"Meow meow roar!"

Cat Xiaoxiao and the others absolutely trusted what Qin Yun said.

Therefore, they didn't consume them immediately but instead put them away into their respective space rings.

"It is currently three-thirty in the afternoon. Stop cultivating at five-thirty, then get a good sleep. Alright, go and cultivate. Remember, don't be impatient, and don't seek quick success. Laying a good foundation is the most important thing!"

Qin Yun had already decided to accept the mission that night to see what kind of challenges it would bring!

The mission on the mission list required him to survive for 23 hours, and it was unclear what would happen during the process.

Therefore, before accepting the mission, it was best to get some sleep first and adjust his state to the best possible condition!

"Mm-hmm, we've remembered!"

"Meow!"

Aside from the primary storage, the space inside the tricycle wasn't actually very large.

After Cat Xiaoxiao and the others found their respective places, they took out the ordinary soul beads, empty bowls, drinking water, and ox horn powder water from their space rings!

They were about to start cultivating.

Qin Xiaoqi also closed the vehicle windows at this time to prevent the roars of beasts outside the Highway from entering the tricycle and disturbing everyone's cultivation.

Qin Yun didn't leave the carriage immediately to go to the driver's cab at the front to cultivate.

He continuously triggered the Eye of Insight entry on Cat Xiaoxiao and the others to check their status.

Only after they had all entered the state of cultivation and there were no issues did he get up and leave.

Filia, Lilith, and Gu Anran, whom he had carefully selected and summoned, all entered the state of cultivation in about thirty seconds, and as it turned out, Cat Xiaoxiao was the same!

She was truly a genuine Chinese Li Hua cat!

Arriving at the driver's cab, Qin Yun took out the ordinary soul bead, an empty bowl, drinking water, and ox horn powder water.

He took a big gulp of the ox horn powder water, finished the soul water, and then triggered the Focus entry!

Everything was ready; he could cultivate now.

Following the cultivation method of the high-level technique, Eight Desolations Wind and Thunder Movement, Qin Yun adjusted his breathing, concentrated his attention to perceive his body, and let the mysterious Qi—which he didn't even know existed—flow and circulate within his body in a specific way...

With prior understanding and various aids, it only took Qin Yun seven seconds to enter the state of cultivation!

He was somewhat surprised.

Cat Xiaoxiao was one thing, but he himself was actually this fast, and over twenty seconds faster at that!

Could it be the golden light emitted by the giant eyes?

Or perhaps the Vehicle Owner was special?

Feeling like he was about to exit the cultivation state, Qin Yun stopped overthinking and continued to immerse himself in the state of cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, it was past four o'clock.

Qin Yun also stopped his cultivation at this time; he felt hungry, and the reaction his body gave him told him that if he continued to cultivate, it might be counterproductive!

Although he was a bit hungry, he felt that his state was excellent, and his physical body had even become a bit stronger!

Cultivating for one hour was even better than resting for three hours!

There was no need to specifically sleep and rest before accepting the mission!

Qin Yun took out beast meat and, while eating large mouthfuls, said to Qin Xiaoqi on the screen: "Xiao Qi, how are Cat Xiaoxiao and the others? Have they stopped cultivating?"

"Master, they all stopped cultivating around two and a half minutes ago. They are currently eating beast meat and sharing their respective cultivation experiences. Judging by the joy on their faces, it should be going well."

"That's good."

Qin Yun nodded and continued: "Tell them they can cultivate until six o'clock. They don't need to specifically sleep and rest. After finishing cultivation, just eat something and then accept the mission!"

"Alright, Master."

Qin Xiaoqi on the driver's cab screen nodded.

The screen in the carriage also lit up at this time. Qin Xiaoqi's image appeared and relayed Qin Yun's instructions to Cat Xiaoxiao and the others.

"Sister Xiao Qi, please tell Master Vehicle Owner that Filia understands."

"Meow meow."

"Could it be that Master Vehicle Owner knew Lilith likes to cultivate, which is why he gave those instructions?"

"Lilith, haven't you noticed that your state is excellent after cultivating? Master Vehicle Owner must have just finished cultivating himself, discovered this, and then gave those instructions."

"Then this can also be considered him caring about Lilith."

Qin Xiaoqi on the screen smiled and nodded in agreement: "Lilith is right. After Master finished cultivating, he asked about your situation immediately."

"Hee hee hee, Master Vehicle Owner really cares about us." Lilith flapped her beautiful wings behind her, flying up in happiness.

...

After finishing three catties of beast meat, Qin Yun then took out the ordinary soul bead and the others.

Thinking of something, he took out the primary mental crystal core he had dug out from the Gold-Eating Ant Queen's heart!

A high-level technique like the Eight Desolations Wind and Thunder Movement should be able to draw out the pure mental energy inside the mental crystal core and absorb it, right?

Immediately, Qin Yun drank both types of water, triggered the Focus entry, and finally, holding the primary mental crystal core, entered the state of cultivation.

As the technique operated, the pure mental energy within the primary mental crystal core was gradually drawn out, entered Qin Yun's body, and finally merged into his mind!

Originally, after drinking the ox horn powder water and soul water, his soul had already felt a cool and refreshing sensation. Now, with the addition of the pure mental energy, the feeling was like he was about to ascend to heaven!

Immersed in it, Qin Yun concentrated fully on experiencing this feeling!

Time gradually passed.

The pure mental energy in the primary mental crystal core gradually decreased, and Qin Yun's soul strength, mental strength, and mental power limit increased rapidly!

An hour later, the primary mental crystal core turned into powder, and the pure mental energy within it had been completely absorbed by Qin Yun!

At the same time, the survivor panel sent a notification to Qin Yun...
