Chapter 050: Mental Meditation Technique
“Do you want a cultivation method for superhumans?”
Yu Ye Xiao Chen looked at Chen Xiao with a strange expression.
“Mm, I realize my current strength is still too weak. Superhumans must also need to cultivate, right? I was wondering if there’s any cultivation method I could borrow?” Chen Xiao nodded calmly. After all, the other party already knew he was a novice—better to face it bravely.
“Uh, Chen Xiao, you’ve already used the Guiding Art to channel your abilities and open up your mental sea, right?” Yu Ye Xiao Chen countered.
“Mm,” Chen Xiao nodded.
“Don’t you know that the Guiding Art you chose back then is actually your subsequent cultivation method?” Yu Ye Xiao Chen, used to Chen Xiao’s incompetence, slowly explained.
“The Superhuman Association is obligated to provide each newly awakened superhuman with a cultivation method. But for more advanced methods, the superhuman must use star coins or make contributions to the association to obtain them,” Yu Ye Xiao Chen said, shrugging.
“I see?” Chen Xiao really didn’t know about this. Mo Changli had never mentioned it to him.
Previously, Mo Changli had come to Chen Xiao personally because of his unparalleled mental power. But after testing Chen Xiao’s ability potential again, he lost all confidence in him, issued him the lowest-ranked Black Crystal Card in superhuman history, and gave him a hundred star coins as consolation—without wanting to talk to him further. Naturally, Chen Xiao had no idea what to do next.
Now, he understood.
“By the way, Chen Xiao, which Guiding Art did you choose?” Yu Ye Xiao Chen asked.
“The ‘Heavenly Spirit Water Art,’” Chen Xiao replied.
“The ‘Heavenly Spirit Water Art’? Are you sure it’s that?” In the next moment, Yu Ye Xiao Chen’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Yes, why? Is it that bad?” Chen Xiao asked, puzzled. He had chosen this Guiding Art because, from his mental scan, it emitted the strongest spiritual energy fluctuations among all the available options. Although those were just replicas, they had been crafted by powerful superhumans. The stronger a superhuman’s ability—or the stronger the spiritual energy fluctuations in the crafted texts—the more powerful their content would be. At least that’s what Chen Xiao believed, so he chose it without hesitation.
“Of course not. The ‘Heavenly Spirit Water Art’ is already considered a top-tier Guiding Art among water-based spells,” Yu Ye Xiao Chen said. “It’s just that I wonder if you’re lucky or unlucky.”
“Uh, why do you say that?” Chen Xiao felt a badpremonition.
“As a top-tier water-based Guiding Art, the ‘Heavenly Spirit Water Art’ is unparalleled. But getting the subsequent parts of this method isn’t easy. The Superhuman Association isn’t obligated to give them to you,” Yu Ye Xiao Chen said with a smug smile.
“What do you mean?” Chen Xiao frowned.
“That is to say, if you want the subsequent techniques of the ‘Heavenly Spirit Water Art,’ you can only obtain them with sufficient contribution points. As far as I know, for any of the subsequent techniques of the ‘Heavenly Spirit Seven Arts’—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder—hundreds of thousands of contribution points are required to acquire them.”
“Hundreds of thousands of contribution points can be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of star coins. The purchasing power of hundreds of thousands of star coins in the world of superpowers is equivalent to ten million Huaxia coins.”
Seemingly to discourage Chen Xiao, Yuye Xiaochen added this sentence afterward.
Chen Xiao swallowed hard.
“Ah, if it’s ten million Huaxia coins, I can think of a way to help you, but for hundreds of thousands of star coins, I’m sorry, I can’t do anything.” Looking at Chen Xiao’s expression, Yuye Xiaochen also felt helpless. After all, they were all members of the Huaxia Soul Xuan Group. The stronger a member was, the more help they could provide, especially someone like Chen Xiao, a natural super healer.
But hundreds of thousands of star coins was an enormous amount. Although the purchasing power of hundreds of thousands of star coins was equivalent to 1,500 Huaxia coins, ten million Huaxia coins could definitely not be exchanged for that amount.
No superhuman would be willing to exchange star coins for Huaxia coins, except perhaps Chen Xiao.
“Then can I give up this technique now and choose another one?” Chen Xiao currently only had a little over ninety star coins. It would take him forever to earn hundreds of thousands of them.
“Of course,” Yuye Xiaochen nodded. “But if you give up your current technique and choose another one from the Superhuman Association, you’ll have to pay a fee based on the level of the technique you choose. The association’s library is only accessible once for ordinary superhumans.”
As for the cultivation techniques within Yuye Xiaochen’s family, they could never be shared outside, unless Chen Xiao agreed to join their family. But no family would want to recruit a superhuman with a potential rating below F.
As for the Huaxia Soul headquarters, there were no such cultivation techniques at all. Huaxia Soul only recruited superhumans who had already undergone guidance.
Chen Xiao rolled his eyes. He realized that money was essential no matter where you went. He now regretted having spent so little time in that vast library.
“Chen Xiao, you don’t need any cultivation techniques right now,” suddenly, Shui Miao’s voice echoed in his mind.
“What?” Chen Xiao was stunned but stayed silent. Knowing there wasn’t much time left in the Main God Space, he didn’t interrupt her.
“Someone who possesses the status of a Main God surely has cultivation techniques, right? It’s just that your strength isn’t strong enough yet to access them. For now, you should focus on improving your mental power level, absorbing and integrating the Main God status to gain more privileges in the Main God Space.”
“Alright, all you need now is a meditation technique to train your mental power. You don’t need any specific cultivation techniques for now.”
Seemingly realizing there wasn’t much time left, she said that and then there was no sound again.
“A meditation technique to train mental power…” Chen Xiao thought for a moment before asking, “So, just a meditation technique for mental training?”
“A meditation technique that focuses solely on strengthening mental power? What’s the use of that? Even if mental power improves, without the corresponding spiritual energy in the body, it seems to have little effect on enhancing strength.”
The strength of a sorcerer mainly depends on the spiritual energy in their body; with enough spiritual energy, they can unleash powerful techniques. Having merely strong mental power doesn’t equate to combat effectiveness.
As for using mental power to communicate with water elemental energy in the air, that’s just a basic ability for beginners. This was also why Mo Changli stopped paying attention to Chen Xiao after learning about his specific supernatural potential—strong mental power alone doesn’t mean much.
Yu Ye Xiao pondered for a while before saying, “If it’s a meditation technique focused solely on mental power, the Huaxia Soul Headquarters does have some. I can authorize it for you, but…”
“Don’t worry about that. I know my limits.”
