Chapter 193 The Transaction, Breakthrough in Mental Power

The next day, Chu Han met with the core members of the Xiao Family to discuss the transaction regarding the exotic beast corpses.

Chu Han brought out the entire corpses of the Netherworld Poison Flood Dragon and the Swamp Poison Dragon; seeing this, the Xiao Family members' eyes were filled with greed and joy.

After some discussion, both parties reached an agreement.

The Xiao Family brought out a large amount of cultivation resources, Heaven And Earth Treasures, and special Medicinal Pills to exchange for these two exotic beast corpses.

This included several rare 7th-rank Spirit Medicines, a vast amount of High-Grade Spirit Stones, and many precious Medicinal Pills of immeasurable value.

Among them, Chu Han also exchanged for a portion of essence blood from a 7th-rank Amethyst Lion King from the Xiao Family; this was exactly what he had promised to help Zhao Tianyu find, and he hadn't expected to obtain it from the Xiao Family, saving him a lot of trouble.

Once the transaction was complete, both sides were extremely satisfied.

Chu Han obtained sufficient cultivation resources, while the Xiao Family acquired two priceless high-level exotic beast corpses; their strength and foundation would both be greatly enhanced.

Xiao Tianxiong personally escorted Chu Han out of the meeting hall, saying with a smile, "Mr. Chu, if you have any needs in the future, you can come to the Xiao Family at any time; as long as it's within our power, we will certainly not refuse."

Chu Han nodded. "Thank you, Clan Leader Xiao. This transaction was pleasant; if there is an opportunity in the future, I will certainly cooperate with the Xiao Family again."

After the transaction ended, Chu Han did not leave the Southern Frontier Base City, but instead borrowed the Xiao Family's Cultivation Chamber.

He sat cross-legged in the Cultivation Chamber with his eyes tightly shut, his mind sinking into his Sea of Consciousness.

During the previous fierce battle with Miyamoto, the eerie Mental Energy released when the opponent used the Light of the Demon King had been intercepted by his Spiritual Domain and absorbed into his Sea of Consciousness, where he had been temporarily suppressing it.

Although this Mental Energy was cold and evil, it was extremely pure; if he could refine it, it would surely allow his Mental Energy to be greatly enhanced.

Within the Sea of Consciousness, a mass of pitch-black Mental Energy was firmly wrapped by the golden Soul Imprint, constantly struggling and twisting while emitting a cold aura.

With a thought from Chu Han, the Mental Energy in his Sea of Consciousness began to bit by bit dissolve the evil attributes of this black Mental Energy.

The refining process was not easy.

This mass of Mental Energy contained a portion of Miyamoto's will and was extremely stubborn; every bit dissolved required a massive expenditure of Chu Han's mental effort.

Chu Han was full of patience, stripping away and purifying the evil power bit by bit, then merging the purified pure energy into his own Mental Energy.

Time passed slowly, and the atmosphere in the room grew increasingly heavy.

Fine beads of sweat broke out on Chu Han's forehead, and the Mental Energy fluctuations around him were sometimes violent and sometimes steady.

In his Sea of Consciousness, the golden Mental Energy surged like a tide; as the black Mental Energy was continuously integrated, the golden Mental Energy became increasingly dense and its range grew wider.

"Buzz!"

After an unknown amount of time, when the last trace of black Mental Energy was refined and integrated into Chu Han's Mental Energy, his Sea of Consciousness suddenly emitted a violent hum.

The originally dense golden Mental Energy tumbled like boiling water, spreading frantically in all directions, and the range of the Sea of Consciousness instantly expanded by more than twice its size.

Following that, a powerful wave of Mental Energy erupted from Chu Han's Sea of Consciousness, spreading outward.

Under the influence of Chu Han's Mental Energy, the weapons and equipment in the Cultivation Chamber all floated in mid-air at this moment, as if they had lost gravity.

"The third Realm of Mental Energy, I've finally achieved a Breakthrough!"

Chu Han snapped his eyes open, a golden light flashing briefly within them, his face showing a hint of irrepressible joy.

The third Realm of Mental Energy was worlds apart from the previous two Realms.

Upon reaching this Realm, Mental Energy could influence the outside world at will, the most direct manifestation being the mastery of Telekinesis.

With a thought from Chu Han, the floating weapons and equipment in the room rotated and moved freely in the air.

With a slight hook of his finger, a Battle Saber shot out directly, accurately embedding itself deep into the wall.

Not only that, this Telekinesis could also control objects to perform attacks or deformations, and could even act directly on an opponent's body to bind their movements and disrupt their essence energy circulation.

At the same time, Mental Energy attacks and defenses also reached a new Realm.

Mental attacks could directly penetrate an opponent's essence energy shield to attack their body and Sea of Consciousness, while mental defense could form an invisible barrier to withstand the vast majority of mental attacks and even weaken the power of some physical attacks.

Chu Han felt the powerful Mental Energy within him, his heart filled with shock.

One must know that the third Realm of Mental Energy was something only Martial Artists who specialized in cultivating Mental Energy had a chance to reach.

And usually, only top-tier Martial Artists of the 9th or 10th rank could touch it.

For someone like him, who was only at the 6th Rank Initial Stage, to be able to Breakthrough to the third Realm of Mental Energy was unprecedented in the entire history of Blue Star.

The Breakthrough in Mental Energy gave Chu Han's strength a qualitative leap.

Previously, although he could kill an 8th Rank Mid-stage expert, it required the support of multiple states.

If he faced an 8th Rank Late Stage opponent, he would have had no combat power at all.

But now, relying on the third Realm of Mental Energy, he had full confidence to confront an 8th Rank Late Stage Martial Artist head-on.

Even if he encountered a 9th-rank expert, he was certain he could escape.

Chu Han stood up and looked at a hundred-ton specially made metal dumbbell on the ground.

Telekinesis was quietly released, and under its influence, this massive dumbbell actually began to slowly bend and deform, compressing bit by bit until it turned into a flawless metal sphere.

"Such strong Telekinesis!" Chu Han praised inwardly.

With this third Realm of Mental Energy, his combat power had risen to another level; whether in a duel or a group battle, he would be even more composed.

He withdrew his Telekinesis and sat back down cross-legged to stabilize the Mental Energy in his Sea of Consciousness.

A night passed quietly, and Chu Han completely stabilized his third-Realm Mental Energy.

He then left the Cultivation Chamber and performed the lucky draws for the past few days.

However, he didn't obtain any items that caught his attention too much.

Thus, after bidding farewell to Xiao Ya and the others, he left the Southern Frontier Base and prepared to return to the Capital.

This time, he did not choose to take the train.

Instead, he contacted the Golden Roc through Mental Energy; the Golden Roc's speed far surpassed the train and was more free, saving a lot of time.

Receiving Chu Han's command, the Golden Roc immediately flew out from the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains to meet him.

"Let's go, take me back to the Capital."

Chu Han flipped onto the bird's back while simultaneously informing the Golden Roc of the route and direction to the Capital.

"Skree!"

The Golden Roc let out an excited cry and flapped its wings vigorously, carrying Chu Han straight into the sky.

The Golden Roc flew at full speed, darting through the clouds like a bolt of lightning.

In less than a day, the outline of the Capital appeared in his field of vision.

Chu Han signaled the Golden Roc to land on the outskirts of the Capital and took out a batch of cultivation resources to hand to it: "Keep these well and go live in the Northern Wasteland Mountain Range; the essence energy there is denser and suitable for you to increase your strength. If I have a need, I will summon you through the mental imprint."

The Northern Wasteland Mountain Range was vast with many exotic beasts, making it an excellent habitat for high-level exotic beasts.

Having obtained enough resources and a clear destination, the Golden Roc affectionately nuzzled Chu Han again, let out a clear cry, and spread its wings to fly toward the Northern Wasteland Mountain Range, quickly disappearing into the horizon.
