Chapter 646: Spiritual Energy Cultivation Method!
Thus, the "old lady" and the young man arrived at the seaside of Socot Island in Hawaii and began their experiment and learning process.
It was clearly already January during that time and Shanghai was supposed to be cold, but Socot Island was still as hot as summer.
Su Yang and Spirit Building arrived at Socot Island in the afternoon. It was the hottest time of the day and even though the two of them were standing by the sea with the sea breeze blowing, they were still drenched in sweat.
Leaning on a stick, Spirit Building's eyes drooped as she weakly called out, "Su Yang..."
Su Yang felt that Spirit Building was like a salted fish that was being dried by the sun.
Su Yang then asked, "What's the matter?"
Spirit Building said, "It's so hot out here. If I stand here for a few hours, forget about getting a heat stroke first, I'm going to injure my supple skin."
Su Yang was confused.
'Excuse me, sister...
'No, Madam, Grandma...
'Do you have some misunderstanding about the definition of suppleness?
'Spirit Building must have watched too many idol dramas, supple skin... Tsk tsk, with that wrinkled face of hers, even the word "skin" would be inappropriate on her.'
As Su Yang complained in his heart, Spirit Building did not let him off the hook. She stretched out her hand slowly and said to Su Yang, "So, help apply sunscreen on me."
Su Yang was confused.
'Spirit Building must've walked into the wrong filming set...
'No! She's taken the wrong script, hasn't she?
'Chu Xia should be the one in this scene!
'It's a beautiful thing for a beautiful girl to apply sunscreen, yet you, old lady... Are you planning to have the person who sees you gouge their own eyes out?'
Hence, Su Yang rejected her request without hesitation.
After several unsuccessful requests, Spirit Building could only sigh and give up on the idea.
After the two of them finished fooling around, Spirit Building finally regained her composure. She looked at Su Yang and said, "Actually, I've been studying spiritual energy recently and realized that spiritual energy can be used in many ways."
Su Yang asked, "For example?"
"For example... This." As Spirit Building spoke, an aura suddenly exploded from her body, and her face slowly turned younger. She did not turn back into a 15 or 16 year old girl like before. Instead, she returned to the appearance of a mature woman in her 30s'.
Her frown and smile on her face, her voluptuous body and the clothes that could only be used as a pair of shorts which revealed her naval because of her "transformation" made people blush.
Perhaps sensing Su Yang's absent-mindedness, Spirit Building said sternly, "Focus your spiritual energy into your eyes and look carefully."
Su Yang snapped back to reality and followed her instructions.
A moment later, in Su Yang's eyes that were filled with spiritual energy, Spirit Building's body was filled with spiritual energy. The spiritual energy slowly burned on her body like flames.
However, slowly, the "flames" moved down to the bottom of her feet and finally, it gathered on her feet.
'Huh?
'What is she doing?'
Just as Su Yang was feeling confused, Spirit Building took a step forward with her right foot and followed up with her left foot. It was as if she was walking on a staircase.
Hence, in Su Yang's eyes, Spirit Building walked up to the sky step by step like a God.
Su Yang's mouth widened in shock.
However, that was not the end. After Spirit Building finished her performance, she stepped on the water again. She walked down from the sky and into the sea. Then, she stepped on the waves and looked at Su Yang with her hands behind her back.
Her feet seemed to have grown in the waves, moving forwards as the sea rose and retreating when the waves receded.
When Su Yang saw this surreal scene, his eyes burned with passion. He could not help but ask, "Can I learn that?"
Spirit Building walked back with the waves.
Reaching the shore, she shook her head. "No."
Su Yang was confused. "Why not?"
Spirit Building said, "You don't have enough spiritual energy to even support the consumption required."
Su Yang was speechless.
"Then, why are you showing me this?"
Spirit Building's aura dissipated and she returned to her old lady form. Then, she lowered her eyes and said nonchalantly, "Humans always want to present whatever they've gained to others. In the words of humans, it's called "showing off"."
Su Yang was speechless.
'You're lucky I'm not part of Zuan since I've never played on the Zuan Server... Otherwise, I'd make you regret what you've just done!'
Seeing that Su Yang was unhappy, Spirit Building coughed twice and said, "But don't be discouraged. I found a way to cultivate your spiritual energy."
Su Yang was shocked. "Really? I thought there was no progress all this time?"
Spirit Building nodded. "There was indeed no progress, but I've found out a cultivation method not too long ago."
She said, "After you fainted using the Silver Ability, [Sealing Frame], I noticed that your spiritual energy seemed to have increased."
Su Yang was stunned for a moment. 'My Silver Ability, [Sealing Frame], can increase spiritual energy?'
He could not help but recall the price of this ability. 'Every picture taken consumes a large amount of mental power and the item in the picture determines how much mental power I would have to consume.
'Combined with Spirit Building's previous research, where spiritual energy is the combination of physical and mental energies...
'If that's the case... Maybe, if I use this ability a few more times, it could really increase my spiritual energy?'
With that thought in mind, Su Yang was even more concerned about his recent plan to experiment with the [Sealing Frame] and said to Spirit Building, "Then, why don't you activate your [Spiritual Eye] and watch me use this ability to see if you can find any clues."
Spirit Building nodded in agreement.
Following that, Su Yang started to use [Sealing Frame] joyously. He would then proceed to take pictures of a tree, a rock and a fish.
Perhaps it was because the level, quality and life force of these things were not high in itself, Su Yang felt extremely relaxed after playing with them a few times.
He turned around and asked Spirit Building, "What is the current state of my spiritual energy?"
Spirit Building shook her head slowly. "There's a depletion, you've consumed almost one-third of your spiritual energy."
Su Yang did some calculations. 'A tree, a rock and a fish has already managed to use up one-third of my spiritual energy... This means that I really don't have that much spiritual energy to begin with.'
Thus, he continued to seal other things. In a short while, after he sealed another small blade of grass, he finally felt a sense of exhaustion. Spirit Building also said to him at the right time, "You've exhausted your spiritual energy."
According to Spirit Building, based on her observation of Su Yang, her conclusion was that the cultivation of spiritual energy should be similar to training muscles. They both needed to be used more to grow. And after one day's spiritual energy was used up, the spiritual energy would increase a little the next day.
In the past, even though Su Yang was curious about spiritual energy, he only hoped that he would be able to crack the system after obtaining it. After all, that was a distant matter, so he did not have the urge to improve it.
But now, when he discovered that spiritual energy could allow a person to walk on water like how it's depicted in martial arts or fantasy movies, flying in the air and allowing himself to seal more things, Su Yang's interest was piqued.
'Perhaps... Spiritual energy would be very useful after all.'
Hence, in the next few days, the animals, plants and stones on Socot Island suffered a calamity. Su Yang would repeatedly [Seal] and [Stuffing In Pocket] every day tirelessly.
He would not stop until he used up either all his sealing chances or spiritual energy.
This also caused his spiritual energy to increase significantly. According to Spirit Building's estimation, his spiritual energy had increased by at least 20% over the past few days.
In the end, Su Yang wanted to experience the limits of his spiritual energy, so he sealed the luxury yacht that he had taken for himself into the photo.
This... Also caused him to faint successfully for the second time.
With the previous experience of Su Yang fainting, the monsters were much calmer this time.
Little Deeny moved Su Yang onto the bed and fed him some of Sanque's ginseng soup. After that, he got the other monsters to go about their business.
Su Yang then slept for an entire afternoon before waking up.
The advantage of his coma this time was that the upper limit of his spiritual energy had increased by 10%, which was equivalent to two to three days of normal training.
However, Spirit Building had also warned Su Yang that if Su Yang continued to overuse his mental power, he might end up becoming a fool.
Hence, Su Yang, who was afraid that he would turn into a fool, could only stop his spiritual energy training for the time being, treating his cultivation as a long-term project.
However, he really did not expect that he would be able to develop a method to cultivate his spiritual energy before he had even used much of the A-Ranked Silver Ability that he drew.
'Who... Should I look to thank for this good luck of mine?!'
After the intense training, Su Yang started his vacation.
He leisurely toured around Socot Island with a few little monsters. Just like that, he played for another three days. If Zhao Licheng hadn't called him and said that Xinli Education had taken the bait, he probably would have continued playing...
Hence, under Zhao Licheng's urgent request, Su Yang ended his spiritual energy cultivation and vacation, returning to Shanghai immediately.
What he did not know was that not long after he returned, a few speedboats appeared near Socot Island, they seemed to be circling around the sea in search of something.
On one of the speedboats, there was a man who looked similar to the Caucasian that Su Yang had killed. He said to a crew member fiercely, "Are you sure that the GPS signal of my brother's speedboat disappeared around here?! What the h*ll's going on here?!"
...
When they returned to Shanghai, Su Yang drove to the e-commerce company, where Zhao Licheng was already waiting at the entrance.
When he saw Su Yang, he hurried over and said, "Mr. Su, you're finally back. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Su Yang patted his shoulder with a smile. "I was on a vacation after all, so of course I'd have taken a longer time."
Then, Su Yang asked, "How far has Xinli progressed about this matter?"
Zhao Licheng whispered cautiously, "Let's talk in my office."
Then, the two of them entered Zhao Licheng's office.
Zhao Licheng closed the door and pulled down the curtains. Then, he took out a document and placed it in front of Su Yang.
Su Yang picked up the documents and wanted to laugh. "Is there a need for you to be so nervous?"
Zhao Licheng's calm face was filled with seriousness. "There is. After all, this is a deal that's worth billions of yuan."
