100: Visualization

Having completed the fourth turn of Body Refining Cultivation, Qin Yue had meticulously studied every inch of his body.

Following the instructions in the Visualization Technique Secret Manual from Pill Refining Peak, Qin Yue first visualized the general outline of his body, then filled in the details.

Like painting in his mind, Qin Yue's self-image slowly emerged in his heart.

Soon, the outline of Qin Yue's body was visualized in his mind.

This step was easier than Qin Yue had imagined.

What he didn't know was that the entire path of Martial Arts Cultivation was interconnected.

Although Cultivation before the Divine Intent Realm did not explicitly Cultivate a Martial Artist's Mental Energy, subconsciously, a Martial Artist's Mental Energy Realm was constantly improving.

However, after Qin Yue visualized the rough outline of his body, his mind went blank, and his entire brain felt as if it had been punched, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

Qin Yue's consciousness was instantly pulled out of the space created by the Visualization Technique.

Rubbing his brow, Qin Yue took a moment to recover, then tried to activate the Visualization Technique again, but he couldn't concentrate.

"What's going on? The Visualization Technique doesn't mention this kind of situation!"

Qin Yue got out of bed, flipped through the Visualization Technique again, but still found no clues.

It was then that he noticed the three Cultivation experience Secret Manuals on the table.

Qin Yue had originally planned to Cultivate on his own first, and only open the Cultivation experience Secret Manuals when he encountered difficulties. He believed that solving problems as they arose would deepen his understanding of the Visualization Technique.

But now, Qin Yue had encountered difficulties right from the start.

He first opened the Visualization Technique experience Secret Manual from Pill Refining Peak.

This Secret Manual truly lived up to its value of fifteen thousand contribution points; the entire Secret Manual was written in great detail, practically a Cultivation guide for the Visualization Technique.

However, Qin Yue quickly skimmed through it, and it made no mention of the problem he was facing.

The only situation similar to Qin Yue's problem was excessive Mental Energy depletion.

The description of excessive Mental Energy depletion in the Secret Manual was similar to Qin Yue's current state.

But this wasn't right!

Because according to the description in this Visualization Technique experience Secret Manual, Ninggang Realm Martial Artists generally visualize their entire body during their first Cultivation session.

Some Martial Artists with strong Mental Energy might even visualize the details of their body vividly, directly completing the first stage of the Visualization Technique Cultivation.

But Qin Yue was far from that; he had only visualized the rough outline of his body and immediately ran out of Mental Energy.

Qin Yue felt indignant, because every step of his Martial Arts Cultivation had been perfected.

Even when he Broke through to the Liquid Transformation Realm, he rarely directly condensed thirty-six drops of Blood Qi liquid.

This ensured that in his future Cultivation and battles, his total Blood Qi and Protective Aura would be more than three times that of others, greatly enhancing his explosive power and endurance.

His Mental Energy should be stronger than others, so how could it be weaker?

Qin Yue felt that his current situation must be due to some other problem, not insufficient Mental Energy.

He then flipped through the other two experience Secret Manuals.

Although the Cultivation Technique was different, Qin Yue read through both Secret Manuals and still came to the conclusion that it was due to insufficient Mental Energy.

"This shouldn't be!"

Qin Yue immediately stood up, wanting to go ask his Master.

But he sat down again right after standing up.

It was late at night; his Master must surely be resting.

Qin Yue sat in his seat, closing his eyes to rest and recover from the fatigue in his brain, while also reviewing his own Cultivation process.

Halfway through his review, a flash of inspiration struck Qin Yue, and he immediately stood up, feeling that he had found the reason for his failure in Cultivating the Visualization Technique.

It was actually quite simple: it was still insufficient Mental Energy.

Throughout his Martial Arts Cultivation journey, Qin Yue's biggest advantage over others was his ability to use the AFK System for Cultivation.

After he thought of night idling and multi-idling modes, his Cultivation progress became even more rapid.

However, this increase in Cultivation speed also masked a problem for Qin Yue: his spirit had not undergone as much tempering as other Martial Artists.

Qin Yue had not experienced the pain of flesh tearing and healing during Body Refining.

Qin Yue had not endured the daily arduous refining during Cultivation.

He had entrusted all of this to the System.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with this; who would forgo an easy Cultivation process and actively choose hard mode?

But Qin Yue was now facing a problem.

That is, all these processes that Qin Yue skipped were essential for strengthening a Martial Artist's Mental Energy.

By omitting these processes, Qin Yue's Mental Energy was inevitably not as strong as others'.

Knowing the cause of his low Mental Energy, Qin Yue's first thought was how to solve the problem.

He didn't regret his previous use of cheats, because without them, he would still be a farmer tilling the fields in a village.

Even if he could learn martial arts later, he wouldn't reach his current level.

Qin Yue would only look forward, seeking solutions to the problem.

To improve Mental Energy, Qin Yue could actually think of several methods.

The first was to continue Cultivating the Visualization Technique.

The Visualization Technique was originally created to enhance a Martial Artist's Mental Energy, allowing them to better comprehend the Concept of Divine Intent.

As long as Qin Yue diligently Cultivated the Visualization Technique, his Mental Energy would eventually improve.

Although this method was orthodox, and Qin Yue would use it, it was too slow.

Qin Yue was already accustomed to his previous rapid Cultivation speed; now, his Cultivation speed was even slower than that of an average Martial Artist.

Qin Yue would not do this unless he had no other choice.

The second method was to find medicines that could increase Mental Energy.

This method fit the style of Pill Refining Peak.

But there were also problems!

If medicines that boost Mental Energy were so easy to obtain, then who would painstakingly Cultivate the Visualization Technique?

Regarding medicines that could enhance Mental Energy, Qin Yue's first thought was: had no one invented them yet?

This possibility was low; with Pill Refining Peak's Medicine Refining level and Qin Yue's Medicine Refining knowledge, he believed that medicines capable of boosting a Martial Artist's Mental Energy could definitely be found.

The second guess was that these medicines were extremely precious, and ordinary Martial Artists couldn't obtain them?

This guess was plausible; medicines that enhance Mental Energy must be very rare, either difficult to refine or made from precious ingredients, certainly not something ordinary Martial Artists could easily acquire.

The last guess was that these medicines might have too many side effects, making them rarely used by people.

This was also possible, but could side effects really be so severe that Martial Artists rarely used them?

Qin Yue was skeptical.

However, these were all just guesses; he would only get answers after consulting his Master tomorrow.

The only solution Qin Yue could try tonight was to find a way through the AFK System.

Qin Yue had never before thought of using the AFK System to Cultivate the Visualization Technique.

Because the Visualization Technique, unlike other Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques, required all Cultivation to take place within consciousness.

When Qin Yue used the AFK System for Cultivation before, his consciousness was merely observing, with only his body participating in the idling.

But this time was different; could the AFK System truly act upon consciousness?

Even if it could, could Qin Yue allow the AFK System to control his consciousness?
