Because the Front Hall was under renovation, Li Chu could only cultivate his New Cultivation Method in his Bedroom.

The Small Room didn't have good Lighting, and it was a bit Dim, but Li Chu didn't really care about that.

He carefully took out the book Mind's Eye Art: From Beginner to Master from his pocket.

His movements were extremely gentle, as if he were afraid that a slight pinch of his fingers would turn a piece of paper to dust.

After all, from the Book Cover to the Pages, this book had thoroughly turned yellow.

He flipped through this Yellow Book in the Dim Small Room.

The book was very old, but he read it very seriously.

The so-called Mind's Eye Art, its Principle didn't seem complicated.

Heaven and Earth, all things have a Breath.

What the book described was to close one's physical eyes and use one's Body and Mind to feel the Breath of all things, which is the "Qi" of all things.

This "Qi" could not be simply explained as smell, breath, or aura, but was a very abstract, intangible Spiritual Essence that living beings naturally emitted.

Just as there are no two identical Leaves in the world, there are no two identical "Qi" in the world.

But because of their types, states, and emotions, these "Qi" would converge into different collections, such as good Spiritual Qi, Good Fortune, Joyful Qi, bad Yin Qi, Killing Qi, Resentful Qi... Wait.

The world seen by the "Mind's Eye" is the world of "Qi".

According to the book's description, this Art was extremely difficult to cultivate.

The first Threshold was Talent; some people couldn't even feel the existence of "Qi" even if they practiced Meditative Sitting for a lifetime.

The second Threshold was Time; even after feeling "Qi," it would take anywhere from three years to ten years to spread it to a Three Zhang Radius.

As for Li Chu's thought of perceiving the entire town, it might take Several Hundred Years at this cultivation speed.

However...

Li Chu wasn't worried about the speed.

As everyone knows, he had always been a very fast person.

Just like how the High School textbooks said it would take three years to learn something, he finished it in less than a year. When they said cultivating Iron Cloth would take thirty days, he only needed One Afternoon.

So, how long it would actually take, he would only know after trying.

After reading the entire book, he flipped back to the Opening, and then, following the Guidance, he sat cross-legged, assumed the Five Hearts Towards Heaven posture, and sank into the Meditative State.

Feeling the Breath of Heaven and Earth, all things...

Find their rhythm...

Huu... Brea... Huu... Brea...

Immediately, he had a good dream.

He slept soundly.

He hadn't slept much these past few days. Even with his vigorous spirit, his body would still enter a dormant state at the appropriate time.

An hour later, he opened his radiant eyes again.

"I actually fell asleep... I didn't feel sleepy at all," Li Chu muttered.

He had been feeling a bit strange about his body recently. No matter how long he didn't sleep, he wouldn't feel tired and was always full of vitality. However, if he entered his familiar sleep state, he could fall asleep quickly within a breath.

His feeling of fatigue seemed to have disappeared.

The hunger was also gone. He had tried not eating for several meals, but he never felt hungry. Similarly, when he ate, he rarely felt fullness, only the taste.

It was as if he no longer needed to eat.

He felt a hidden worry in his heart. Could this be a mistake in his cultivation?

He remembered his Master saying before that grain avoidance had always been an illusory legend. In this world, even Earthly Immortals needed to regularly replenish energy.

They might be able to eat a vast amount of food in one sitting and then not eat for a long time, but grain avoidance was impossible.

If even Earthly Immortals couldn't do it, then it was even more impossible for him.

He couldn't figure it out.

However, these problems were not urgent. The top priority was still to master the Mind's Eye Art.

He entered meditation again, feeling the breath of heaven and earth...

Huu--

Suddenly, he found that the entire room had turned into misty smoke. Black, white, yellow, mostly faint, dull colors.

Wait, he was meditating right now and hadn't opened his eyes at all!

This... could this be "Qi"?

Didn't they say many people couldn't sense it their entire lives?

It appeared after just one nap?

Hmm... it's alright, I guess.

There was nothing to be surprised about.

He tried his best to focus his spirit, wanting to "see" a little clearer. As expected, beneath the smoke, there were hazy outlines of objects.

This room had an aura, and its aura was very ancient.

The flowers and plants in front of him had auras, and their auras were very lively.

His own sword had an aura, and its aura was very... tired?

As if his body had been hollowed out.

Was it because he usually overused it?

He tried to expand his spirit outwards, and a large number of images flooded his mind.

Everyone and everything in the Virtuous Cloud Temple... emanated their own aura, some weak, some strong.

In the entire courtyard, the strongest aura actually belonged to that Old Locust Tree, its dark green "Qi" almost covering the sky and obscuring the sun.

Beneath the well, there seemed to be a faint flow of "Qi," but it was blocked by the well cover, and his spirit could not penetrate it.

The workers had transformed into Red-Blue Intertwined Figures. This should be the Human Yin Yang Energies within the human body. Those with Red-Dominant Yang Energy had strong yang energy, while those with Blue-Dominant Yin Energy had strong yin energy. Outside of the red and blue energies, faint black qi would occasionally drift by, which should be their emotions.

Working under the hot sun, some people might not be in a good mood.

Li Chu suddenly thought, if black qi gathered together, would it represent deep resentment? At such times, could ghosts take advantage of the vulnerability?

His perception was like a giant spider web, covering all directions. Every ten feet he expanded, he covered a large area.

Gradually, the "Qi" within a radius of several miles was fully visible.

Mountains Rivers, Flowers Birds Insects Fish, all had their own auras.

Li Chu was utterly shocked by this world. Was this a new side to the world?

Or was this its truest form?

When his brain felt a slight dizziness, his perception had already covered half of Yuhang Town, ten miles away, and he saw the thick Worldly Charm.

However, he clearly felt that his spirit was still in a very full state and had not been depleted.

Perhaps it was because his brain was processing such a vast scene for the first time, so it felt tired?

Out of caution, he temporarily withdrew his perception.

After all, it was the first time, so it was best to act gently.

There was no rush to delve deeper later.

When Li Chu opened his eyes, he looked at the Mind's Eye Art in front of him, a look of unexpected surprise in his gaze.

He truly couldn't have imagined that he would be able to find such a miraculous cultivation technique from the Miscellaneous Bookstore twice in a row!

Compared to the Iron Cloth he had obtained before, this Mind's Eye Art was even better.

It not only enhanced his perception but could even be said to allow one to touch the essence of the world!

After a long while, he couldn't help but sigh, "Blind Eye Senior is truly a Divine Person!"

"Achoo--"

Somewhere in Jiangnan Province, a blind old beggar sneezed violently.

He rubbed his nose and muttered, "Whose sesame cakes smell so good, they're making my nose tickle..."

Following the scent, he arrived at a sesame cake stall.

"Hehe." The blind man put on a fawning smile. "Boss, please be kind and give me two sesame cakes. They smell so good."

The sesame cake seller was a short man. He waved his hand impatiently. "Go beg somewhere else. I run a small business, how can I have any extra food for you?"

"Hey, I won't eat your sesame cakes for free. Just by listening to your voice, I can tell your bone structure is that of a once-in-a-million martial arts prodigy. How about this, I'll pass on a unique secret manual I created back in the day to you. You don't have to call me Master, just give me two sesame cakes."

As the old beggar spoke, he took out a tattered book from his embrace, Mind's Eye Art: From Beginner to Master.

The short man took one look and laughed. "Just by the name of this broken book, I can tell it's a scam. Even a fool wouldn't believe it. You want to trade it for sesame cakes?"

"If you don't want to trade, fine, but why call it a scam?" the old beggar muttered a couple of times and turned to leave.

The short man called out, "Forget it, forget it. Leave the book here, and I'll give you one sesame cake."

"Alright!"

The old beggar happily walked away, holding the sesame cake.

"You've been had now." The jewelry vendor next to him chuckled. "When this old blind man was young, he claimed to be the Blind God Sword and was a deceitful trickster all day long. Now he passes around that broken book to everyone. Hehe, it's not even good enough to wipe his backside with."

"Sigh, I just felt sorry for him." The short sesame cake seller shook his head and chuckled.

This week, I got a relatively good recommendation slot for the first time. The results at this time are very important. I hope friends who are interested will click to collect and recommend. If you have anything to say, feel free to comment.

Thanks.
