Nine Heavens Primordial Contemplation Method! New Profession!

Just finished selecting.

Fang Qingyu's vision suddenly plunged into darkness.

His sea of consciousness rippled.

Gray mist swirled into a vortex at his Dantian, its edges like stars torn apart by gravity, dotted with fine points of light.

Some traced the arcs of Tai Chi's Yin-Yang fish, others formed the Big Dipper's array.

All were eventually devoured by the gray mist, becoming primal energy.

As his contemplation deepened, five faint illusory figures emerged from the vortex's center.

The lowest phantom showed a blurry Tai Chi diagram, its black and white fish deconstructing the absorbed energy into soft and hard Qi.

When Fang Qingyu tried to glimpse the second phantom, the entire visualization suddenly trembled, and the edges of the gray mist dissolved into countless runes.

"So that's how it's supposed to circulate."

He instinctively adjusted his breathing rhythm, and the gray mist vortex's rotation speed changed.

It felt as if countless subtle energy flows, like iron filings drawn to a magnet, were slowly seeping into his pores.

Guided by the visualization, Fang Qingyu "saw" the energy enter his body and flow along a specific route to his Dantian.

When these materialized energies touched the gray mist vortex, they were instantly crushed into chaotic gray particles.

Suddenly, a stinging sensation shot down from the Baihui Acupoint.

His consciousness returned to reality.

Simultaneously, many realizations flooded his mind.

When Fang Qingyu opened his eyes again, most people had already left the hall.

"Are you alright?"

Only Instructor Zheng remained, having watched Fang Qingyu as if he had fallen asleep.

"I'm fine, I didn't rest well yesterday."

Fang Qingyu stood up and shook his head with a smile.

Instructor Zheng nodded, "That's good then. Don't put too much pressure on yourself; practicing martial arts also requires a balance of relaxation and intensity."

"I'm leaving now."

"Alright, Instructor Zheng, take care."

After seeing him out, Fang Qingyu returned to the Martial Hall alone.

The Supreme Void Nine Revolutions Primordial Contemplation Method was divided into five stages.

What he had just seen was merely the visualization for the first stage.

It was breathtakingly clear.

The core essence was to condense the Qi core and build the inner sea.

The resulting force effect was "Dragon-Tiger Force," which enhanced striking power and bone/muscle strength when punching or striking.

For example, his palm had just shattered several training posts.

It looked impressive.

In reality, his palm had been in agony.

Using this powerful force would prevent such issues.

Furthermore, it could be applied to weapons, enhancing both the force and the weapon's durability.

However, the exact bonus would only be known after he had cultivated it.

It was a very mystical kind of force.

Like Blood Burst, once chosen, it became instinctual.

It was innate.

The visualization required for the contemplation method was also seared into his mind.

And what he had just experienced was like a guided walkthrough.

So, if he truly wanted to absorb that energy...

He had to start from here?

Fang Qingyu took out his Life Pearl and tentatively tried to circulate the contemplation method he had just learned.

The next second.

A new prompt popped up before his eyes.

[Detected Professional Core Skill "Nine Heavens Primordial Contemplation Method" activating (0/100)]

It took nearly half an hour.

When Fang Qingyu felt he could no longer absorb any energy, the Life Pearl in his hand had vanished.

Simultaneously, his activated experience went from 0 to 1.

Fang Qingyu looked at his empty palm. Is this normal?

This morning, hearing Coach Lin and the others talk, 50 Life Pearls should have been a lot, enough to help him quickly pass the introductory stage. Based on the current situation, all the Life Pearls he had on him could barely get his contemplation method halfway done. He still needed a full 49 Life Pearls to get started.

Fang Qingyu felt a bit speechless. Did I pick a money-guzzling contemplation method?

However, it wasn't entirely unreasonable. Compared to the contemplation diagrams he'd seen online, like those depicting mountains, animals, or rivers, his own experience of the magnificent, vast sea of stars was worlds apart.

I need to put earning Life Pearls on the agenda, Fang Qingyu thought, changing his clothes in the locker room. He then drove to the club for a full-service treatment, relaxing his entire body. Afterward, he headed to a brand new destination: Rui Residence.

It was a genuine villa district, ranking as the second-highest residential area in all of Qingjian City, second only to the standalone mansion complex, Heaven's Mansion. It could be considered quite luxurious. It was only a kilometer away from Five Mile Street.

Last night, Fang Qingyu had contacted a resident online who needed a personal bodyguard. The work hours were from 4 PM to 6 PM, just two hours, with a monthly salary of 50,000. The only requirement was that he had to be able to fight!

His A8 slowly entered the community entrance and stopped in front of Villa Number 11. Several cars were already parked nearby, indicating that quite a few people were coming for the interview today.

After Fang Qingyu got out of the car, a butler quickly approached the entrance. "Hello, may I have the name you made the appointment under?"

"Fang Qingyu."

"Very well, Mr. Fang, please follow me." The butler checked his notebook and immediately extended his hand, ushering Fang Qingyu inside.

As he walked in, Fang Qingyu glanced around. He had to admit, it didn't look much like a villa; it was more like an estate. The driveway was paved with lapis lazuli, the Podocarpus trees on either side were trimmed into coiled dragon shapes, and even the Taihu stones placed sporadically around the tree roots seemed to be inlaid with jade-like patterns.

Luxurious.

Soon, he arrived at the main building.

It was a three-story new Chinese-style villa, with a hipped roof covered in dark green glazed tiles, and wind chimes shaped like bronze bells hanging from the eaves.

"Right, Mr. Fang, this interview might require you to spar with others. Do you mind?"

Before entering, the butler asked.

"I don't mind."

Fang Qingyu shook his head.

When multiple bodyguards are interviewed, their strength naturally becomes the only true measure.

He couldn't just say he'd killed a few people or saved someone in a certain region; such words were too pale.

"Alright, this way, please."

Seemingly assured that Fang Qingyu not only didn't mind but was also confident, the butler led him inside.

He entered a conference room after turning left.

Quite a few people were already seated inside.

Upon seeing Fang Qingyu enter, they all turned their scrutinizing gazes upon him.

However, Fang Qingyu ignored them.

He casually found a seat, sat down, and then took out his phone to open his chat with Old Jiao.

"Old Jiao, my strength is up to par."

"???"

Three question marks came back very quickly.

Fang Qingyu skipped the part about the innate Martial Seed and sent a concise summary of the events.

After a few minutes.

Old Jiao messaged back, saying they would have a talk in the evening.

Just then.

The conference room door was also opened.

A woman in her thirties walked in and immediately started ushering people out.

"Liars, anyone who thinks they can't fight five people can leave now. There will be no medical fees if you get injured later."

However, none of the dozen or so people in the conference room moved.

Fang Qingyu put down his phone and glanced around.

They all had white professional titles.

Most were in some form of combat profession, with some being professional bodyguards.

Seeing that no one had left, the woman picked up her phone and started a timer.

"Very well, I'm only giving you 3 minutes. After three minutes, the only person still standing will be hired. If more than one person remains standing, everyone is eliminated."

With that, the woman turned and left, kindly closing the door behind her.

Bang—

The dozen or so people left in the conference room looked at each other.

Fang Qingyu slowly stood up and was the first to speak.

"My apologies, everyone."
