Mental Power Secret Art: Purple Sun Contemplation Method!

"You're calling yourself young?"

After hearing that, Qin Yang glanced at Xiao Bai in front of him.

Xiao Bai was petite, standing barefoot on the ground. Her snow-white hair trailed along the floor, and two Beast Ears drooped from the top of her head. She looked pitiful and delicate, just like a little paper doll.

But since she had already been in Jianghai City for twenty years, she definitely wasn't young.

"Master, you don't believe me? I wasn't lying!"

Xiao Bai raised her little fist and said threateningly.

Qin Yang smiled and shook his head. Naturally, he didn't believe her.

After all, foxes were naturally cunning.

Once their intelligence awakened, their lifespans also increased. Living for a hundred years—or even several hundred—was nothing unusual.

They had long surpassed the limits of human understanding.

But even with such long lifespans,

they still had to cultivate diligently if they wanted to take human form, which required a great deal of time.

At least several hundred years, and at most a thousand.

In other words,

although Xiao Bai currently looked delicate and pitiful, like a Loli, her actual age might be greater than several Qin Yangs combined!

"So she's pretending to be young in front of me?"

A fox who's lived who knows how long is pretending to be young in front of me? What a turnoff! With that thought, Qin Yang narrowed his eyes and smiled at Xiao Bai. He didn't expose her, merely reaching out to rub her little head. "Come on, let's go home."

"Okay, Master!"

Thinking Qin Yang had truly believed her, Xiao Bai nodded, secretly delighted. A cute little canine tooth peeked from the corner of her grin.

The two of them tugged at each other as their figures vanished. Before long, they returned to Qin Yang's home.

The place Qin Yang rented wasn't large, just an ordinary one-bedroom apartment. He had long been used to living alone and rarely tidied up, so the room was somewhat messy.

"With Xiao Bai doing the housework, things will be much easier from now on."

Just as he was thinking that,

Qin Yang slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered another important matter...

Where was the Dog System's reward?!

Logically speaking, he had just subdued a Star Beast, so rewards should have popped up long ago. Why was the system silent? Had it swallowed his rewards?

At that thought, Qin Yang instantly lost his patience and muttered in his mind, "System? Where the hell are you? Get out here! Playing dead, are you?!"

Following his angry demand, the system hurriedly responded in his mind, "Ding! Host, please calm down. This system has always been here; it was merely too shocked!"

"The host actually subdued a Beast Emperor without breaking a sweat!"

"This system is utterly awestruck!"

Listening to the system's flattery, Qin Yang rolled his eyes irritably. "Cut the crap. Are you trying to swallow my rewards?"

"Host, you wrong me! This system is absolutely not that kind of system!"

The system responded tremblingly, its tone full of deep fear, as though it was terrified Qin Yang might destroy it in a fit of displeasure.

It had silently recorded Qin Yang's actions just now. With a mere raise of his hand, he had easily suppressed a Beast Emperor and even taken it under his command. It was simply too terrifying! "Host, you are far too powerful! This system will now distribute the rewards!"

As it spoke, the system entered the settlement process.

Ding! Detected that the host has subdued a Beast Emperor. Reward: Twentyfold Amplification!
Obtained Mental Power Secret Art: Purple Sun Contemplation Method!
Obtained Twenty Years of Cultivation!
...

Only after hearing that the rewards had arrived did Qin Yang relax. He then sent Xiao Bai away. "Go clean up the floor for me."

"Oh... got it, Master."

Xiao Bai looked reluctant, but she ultimately obediently headed toward the kitchen, picked up a broom, and prepared to clean.

"Make sure you sweep it clean! Don't let me catch you slacking off!"

Qin Yang called out to her before returning to his bed. He sat cross-legged, eager to inspect the rewards the system had given him.

First,

there was the accumulation of Twenty Years of Cultivation.

After absorbing it, he could instantly reach the initial stage of the Grandmaster Realm, saving him years of cultivation time and allowing him to leap across a huge portion of his progress in a single step.

"Not bad, not bad. Leveling up while lying down... I like it!"

Qin Yang sat on the bed, focused his mind, slowly closed his eyes, and poured all of the cultivation into his body.

Boom! In an instant, true essence surged. The Star Power accumulated over twenty years flowed through his limbs and bones, washing over his original body. Along with it came countless insights into Star Power.

It was as though memories from twenty years of life had flowed through him.

In a single thought, everything became clear!

When Qin Yang opened his eyes again, the true essence within him churned like a rushing river, having surged by a tremendous amount compared to before.

"That's the peak of the initial Grandmaster Realm already? Feels great!"

Qin Yang moved his body, brimming with power as faint starlight leaked from him.

For an ordinary Grandmaster to reach the peak of the initial stage, they wouldn't know how much hardship they would have to endure. Yet for him, it was effortlessly crossed.

What cultivation bottleneck? It didn't exist!

"Good. Next, the remaining reward is the Mental Power Secret Art."

Qin Yang closed his eyes and returned to the absorption state from before. Related memories began appearing in his mind one after another.

Purple Sun Contemplation Method.

As its name implied,

one closed their eyes and formed the sun within their mind, forging a vast Purple-Gold Morning Sun and using it to build their Mental Power.

It would be as inexhaustible as the blazing sun in the sky.

"Not bad. This contemplation method is quite good. My Mental Power really is somewhat lacking right now."

Recalling the method's techniques in his mind, Qin Yang felt extremely satisfied.

The entry barrier for cultivating Mental Power was extremely high.

The hardest part was the lack of a suitable contemplation method.

Although the library also had contemplation methods, they were all exceedingly inferior versions. Cultivating them yielded negligible results, nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

Even so,

many people still flocked there every day to study their contents, hoping that one day they could accumulate Mental Power.

This showed just how precious contemplation methods were.

And now, the Purple Sun Contemplation Method in Qin Yang's hands was not only complete and fully formed, but could also allow Mental Power to advance by leaps and bounds.

If it were placed outside, it would surely become something everyone fought madly to obtain!

"Not bad, not bad. This is exactly the method I should cultivate."

With that thought, Qin Yang felt at ease and immediately began to contemplate the purple sun.

Closing his eyes,

darkness surged forth. Qin Yang visualized the outline of the purple sun, and a wheel of purple-gold light instantly ignited, like a torch from the primordial age, dispelling the endless darkness within his mind.

As the outline of the purple sun grew larger, the dark chaos scattered. That light was the manifestation of Mental Power, as if sunlight shone everywhere.

The next moment, it spread out and enveloped the entire room.

Meanwhile,

in the corner, Xiao Bai reluctantly cleaned the room. She was sulking, muttering nonstop under her breath.

"Hmph! He actually dares make me, your auntie, do chores. This is simply outrageous!"

She looked at the broom in her hand. Thinking of how her future fate would be like this broom, freely controlled by Qin Yang,

she was a descendant of the Nine-Tailed Fox. How could she resign herself to this!?

"Detestable human..."

Xiao Bai gritted her silver teeth, just as she was about to continue fuming.

Suddenly, a powerful fluctuation of Mental Power appeared, drawing her attention.

"Huh? This is?"

Sensing the Mental Power in the room, she followed its trail and couldn't help looking toward Qin Yang on the bed.
