Uses of Divine Sense

She muttered under her breath, "They really are Profound Water Pills... Four of them... Is that guy Xu Sanshi really that much of a sucker? No wonder Qian Chaoguang called him an idiot."

For some reason, Wang Dong had absentmindedly dragged over a chair and stared without blinking at Qian Chaoguang's undershirt, soaked through by the icy mist, and the marble-statue-like muscles beneath it.

Before long, Wang Dong noticed something was off.

She knew this kind of pill, the Profound Water Pill, very well. Its greatest effect was Meridian Cleansing.

The icy mist would continuously enter and leave the user's body through their pores, carrying out large amounts of impurities from within the body and meridians.

And yet...

The icy mist had been flowing in and out of Qian Chaoguang's body for ages. Why had not the slightest impurity been expelled?

Not only that, but the fragrance was growing stronger and stronger. It even smelled rather nice...

Without realizing it, unable to figure out why, Wang Dong gradually fell asleep with her head resting on the back of the chair.

Of course, she did not know that Qian Chaoguang had already undergone an incomparably thorough Meridian Cleansing when he fused with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

No, that had no longer been Meridian Cleansing. It had been a complete reconstruction of his meridians, countless times more effective than a Profound Water Pill.

On top of that, Qian Chaoguang had always trained diligently in the Golden Body Art.

After attaining a Flawless Body, his body was incomparably pure. Calling it a supreme Heavenly Treasure would not have been an exaggeration.

With Blood Qi Smoke constantly washing over him day and night, endlessly tempering every inch of his flesh and blood, there naturally would not be any impurities left to expel.

Late that night, Qian Chaoguang opened his eyes. The light slowly receded, and the room returned to darkness.

He exhaled a stream of white icy mist and slowly stretched his slightly stiff muscles and bones.

"Profound Water Pills... They're a tiny bit more useful than I expected."

Qian Chaoguang slowly urged the Soul Power Within the Body to circulate through a Great Cycle, while his Bloodline Power flowed through every corner of his body.

In places hidden from view, more than one-fifth of the blood vessels and meridians within Qian Chaoguang's body had transformed into that incomparably brilliant Light-forged Color.

As the cycle finished, the radiance gradually dimmed, revealing a restrained, jade-like luster.

"This feeling of advancement seems pretty nice. This comfort is even a little addictive. I wonder if breaking through a major realm will feel this good too. Hopefully... it won't hurt as much as breaking through Soul Power Levels..."

Qian Chaoguang rubbed his chin, recalling the sensation from his earlier breakthrough.

Unexpectedly, with the medicinal power of that Profound Water Pill, he had successfully advanced from the peak of Level 13 to Level 14.

Yes, that was all he had gained.

Even though the Soul Power Vortex and Foundation had nearly squeezed every last trace of medicinal power from the Profound Water Pill, achieving perfect absorption, Qian Chaoguang's Soul Power Level had only risen by that tiny amount.

That was the downside of having too much accumulated power.

Based on his current circumstances, Qian Chaoguang even suspected that a Soul Ascension Pill capable of raising a Soul Elder by one level would not be enough to raise him even a single level.

"Profound Water Pills are too little use to me. They can only speed up an insignificant amount of my cultivation progress. I'd better give them to Xiao Tong. Three Profound Water Pills should be enough to raise her to the level of Innate Full Soul Power. Hm? What's she doing? Has she been staring at me this whole time?"

As Qian Chaoguang thought, he sensed that something was wrong in the corner of his eye. He instinctively looked down and saw Wang Dong sprawled over the chair back, sleeping soundly.

"Tsk. Her personality is so awful, but she's actually quite pleasing to look at when she's asleep. I really can't understand what those two dimwits, Da Ming and Er Ming, were thinking, agreeing to something as absurd as Wang Dong cross-dressing."

Qian Chaoguang muttered. With a sweep of his gaze, the fur blanket Wang Dong usually used suddenly flew up by itself and wobbled over to cover her.

Aside from mumbling something unintelligible in her sleep, the girl who had slept herself senseless did not wake up at all.

"Divine Sense Manipulation... It's a little difficult. Looks like my accumulation still isn't enough to support using this as a regular combat method. I can barely lift a blanket without it wobbling all over the place."

After stretching, Qian Chaoguang sat back down on the bed and muttered softly, a rare dejected expression appearing on his face.

Ever since his Spiritual Power had transformed into Divine Sense, Qian Chaoguang had instinctively learned Divine Manipulation, as though it were an innate ability etched into his genes.

The first time he unintentionally used Divine Sense to lift something, he had not even realized what astonishing thing he had done until it was already in his hand.

But...

It was obvious that lifting and rapidly moving a heavy object was no easy task. It also required prolonged practice.

His dream of immediately commanding a flying sword to zip around everywhere had been shattered.

"I wonder when I'll reach the level where, with a single thought, I can have a flying sword take an enemy's head from a thousand miles away... I'd better cultivate quickly and make that day come sooner."

Not long after entering cultivation, Qian Chaoguang suddenly jolted awake.

"Damn, I almost forgot. There's a perfect chance to fleece someone tomorrow morning. I nearly missed it. I need Tian Meng to serve as an alarm clock..."

Early the next morning, blinding sunlight shone into the dormitory and woke Wang Dong from her deep sleep.

"Hiss... How did I end up sleeping in a chair all night... Ahhh! My legs are numb! I can't feel my arms at all!"

The newly awakened Wang Dong staggered and nearly fell over.

Enduring the discomfort in her body, she bared her teeth and forced herself up from the chair, moving exactly like a creature known as a zombie.

As she stood, the blanket slipped to the floor. The scream that followed nearly seemed to penetrate the well-insulated walls.

"Ah! My blanket!!!"

At that moment, Qian Chaoguang could not hear her scream.

He was currently pulling Huo Yutong along, circling around the freshmen teaching building and heading east along the south side of Shrek Square, until they reached a path beside Sea God Lake.

The two had been wandering around for half an hour already, yet there was not a trace of Ma Xiaotao.

Gentle moisture mixed with fresh air washed over them. Although Sea God Lake was merely an artificial lake, this scene could have been described perfectly by a passage from the elementary school text Qinghai's Lake, a Dreamlike Lake.

Not a single word would need changing.

Huo Yutong still wore a faintly resentful expression.

Clearly, the extravagant breakfast Qian Chaoguang had just bought at the enormous cost of sixty Gold Soul Coins had not completely dispelled Huo Yutong's anger over some of his actions yesterday.

Anyone who had suddenly been ordered to run until they fainted while continuously circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill to cultivate would probably not be in a good mood.

Even if the person ordering them to do it was her brother.
