Chapter 252

"Special ability?" the girl in the black dress asked instinctively. "What is it?"

Xia Wanyin didn't speak, but slowly opened her eyes.

In an instant, two dazzling golden rays burst forth from her pupils.

Everything that came into her sight was instantly coated with a layer of golden liquid, both on the surface and inside, and solidified in a short time.

In the blink of an eye, the entire hall seemed to have transformed into a palace made of pure gold, and even the air felt heavy and stagnant.

Meanwhile, in the Jiangxin Yipin Villa District.

The three of them were gathered around the coffee table, studying the Spirit Cultivation Manual.

"I see... Is this the basic method for Mental Power Control?"

Qin Lang nodded in realization. "Besides engaging in deep meditation every day, you also need a certain talent until you can sense the existence of spiritual power."

"Then, by moving some heavy objects with his mind, he was considered to have truly mastered the basics."

At this point, he suddenly remembered something. "Damn, I've never sensed the existence of spiritual power before. Does this mean I'm not suited for the path of spiritual cultivation?"

Xu Jiayi, standing next to her, nodded in agreement. "I haven't sensed it either."

Shen Xing smiled and said, "That's normal. Didn't you see what the book says? Everyone has different strengths depending on their physical constitution."

"You can go and buy a training manual about physique or speed later."

"That's all we can do." Qin Lang nodded regretfully. "I'll save up some money later and buy a few cultivation manuals to study. Maybe I'm a once-in-a-century genius in other areas too."

"It's a pity I can't be a spirited young man like Shen Xing, driving a ghost-fire wheelchair."

"Get lost," Shen Xing said speechlessly. "I'm a mentalist, not some 'mental lad'."

"Haha, they're all the same."

Next, the three of them sat together and chatted for a while, then ate some takeout.

"Jiayi, let's head back now." Qin Lang wiped his mouth, which was covered in chili oil, and stood up as he spoke.

However, the tall, slender girl did not get up. Instead, she calmly said, "You go first, I'll go home later."

The two people in the room looked puzzled upon hearing this.

"Go home later?" Qin Lang looked at her strangely and asked, "What are you going to do here? Don't tell me... you want to play games with Shen Xing?!"

Xu Jiayi glanced at him, her tone still calm. "I'll tidy up Shen Xing's room. Such a big house gets dusty in just a few days if no one cleans it. Do you want him to clean it while in a wheelchair?"

Qin Lang glanced around; a thin layer of dust had settled on the television and coffee table. He nodded and said, "It really should be cleaned. I'll help."

"No need," Xu Jiayi refused decisively. "You're so clumsy, you might break the furniture."

"Alright..."

Qin Lang didn't insist, then waved his hand and said, "Then I'll head out first. Just contact me if you need anything, and I'll be right there."

With that, he picked up the trash bag and left the room alone.

Accompanied by a muffled "humph," a stench of decay wafted into the yard.

Then they heard Qin Lang's loud laughter.

This guy rode his inflatable hippo, soaring into the sky and leaving a trail of putrid stench in his wake.

"Jiayi, no need to trouble yourself, I can just call a housekeeper."

In the hall, Shen Xing looked at the tall, thin woman and spoke.

"No," Xu Jiayi shook her head decisively. "You're a public figure now, your status is sensitive, it's not safe to invite outsiders to your home."

"It won't take much time anyway."

Shen Xing paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll trouble you."

Xu Jiayi didn't say anything, but silently went to the storage room to get cleaning tools.

From the living room to the stairwell, and then to his bedroom, every place was mopped and wiped down.

She even carefully cleaned the stairwell where Yu Feifei's cat slept.

After working for almost two hours, the tall, slender girl returned to the living room.

At this moment, her forehead was covered in sweat, and strands of hair clung to her face.

Her T-shirt was soaked with sweat and stuck to her body, perfectly highlighting her slender waist and the curve of her half-buttoned chest.

Her whole body exuded a sweet, peach-like fragrance.

Shen Xing was somewhat stunned, as it was the first time he had seen her dressed like this.

"It's all cleaned up, Shen Xing," Xu Jiayi said calmly, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

Shen Xing snapped out of her reverie, nodded, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, and thank you, Jiayi."

"Don't mention it," Xu Jiayi waved her hand and said, "You've helped me so many times, I don't even know how to thank you enough."

A smile appeared on Shen Xing's face as well, and she didn't exchange any more pleasantries with her.

"Then I'll head back now." Xu Jiayi put away her tools, turned around, and said goodbye.

Shen Xing glanced at her clothes and asked, "Why don't you take a shower before you leave? Your clothes are all sweaty."

The tall, slender girl paused slightly, then, as if remembering something, her face flushed red.

She quickly lowered her head and said softly, "No... no need, I'll wash up when I get home..."

"Okay, then be careful on the road."

Shen Xing didn't try to stop her, after all, his family didn't have any clean clothes for the woman.

Xu Jiayi nodded slightly, then walked to the living room door and stopped.

After hesitating for a moment, she clenched her fist, turned around and asked, "Shen... Shen Xing... I have a question for you."

"What?"

The tall, slender girl, still with her head down, mustered her courage and asked, "So... is the cat's owner... just a friend Common yours?"

Shen Xing paused for a moment, then replied without hesitation, "Yes, he's just a neighbor who temporarily left his child with me because of some business."

"Oh..."

Xu Jiayi breathed a soft sigh of relief, then turned around and walked briskly towards the door, leaving Shen Xing looking bewildered.

A moment later, a soaring sound echoed in the courtyard, and her presence vanished.

After Xu Jiayi left, Shen Xing looked around, admiring the clean and tidy living room, and said with a smile, "I must say, she did a pretty meticulous job."

"And she can cook and play games. Apart from being a bit of a homebody and having a rather cold temper, she has no flaws."

Chapter 172: The Six Realms of the Spirit, Leina's Request

After Xu Jiayi left, Shen Xing picked up the Spirit Cultivation Manual on the table and continued studying it.

After a moment, the expression on his face gradually changed from relaxed to serious.

As the pages of the book were turned, a flood of information rushed into my mind, which I then quickly jotted down.

Half an hour later, he closed the book again and slowly let out a sigh of relief.

"This manual records really a lot of details."

"Based on different manifestations of spiritual power, six realms have been established, and each realm has a corresponding training method."

"According to the description above, I have just been able to sense the presence of spiritual energy and lift some heavy objects; I am only at the beginner level."

"Later, through continuous practice in object control and resisting mental attacks, I enhanced my control abilities."

"Once you reach a certain bottleneck and break through it in one fell swoop, you can reach the second level— Control."

"Just like its name suggests, this level allows it to Control its mental power, such as manipulating flying swords and stones, moving freely in mid-air."

"With advanced training, one can even control a dozen or even a hundred flying swords to attack simultaneously."

"As for its specific power and range, that depends on one's mental strength."

He paused, then continued, "Then there's the third level, which is the 'Manifestation' that Director Zhang Yu demonstrated today. It involves materializing mental energy and creating various powerful skills."

"Speaking of which... the skill book I was rewarded with during the newbie period, Hand of the Void, is actually a technique from the third level of mental power."

"However, because of the system's existence, this method of solidifying mental power was directly imprinted in my mind. Even if my cultivation level is not high enough, I can still use it, but the power will be greatly weakened."

"This may also be the opportunity for me to awaken the skill 'Mental Energy Control' when I break through to the Transcendent."

Shen Xing analyzed in a low voice.

In addition, there is a more advanced fourth layer: Empowerment.

As the name suggests, it involves attaching mental energy to the human body or weapons to unleash greater power.

Next comes the resonance of the fifth layer.

This level, much like its name suggests, greatly enhances perception and sensing capabilities through mental resonance, making it difficult even for top assassins to get close.

Some powerful beings have a perception range that can even cover the entire city.

In addition, they also possess the ability to perceive the emotions of others, read shallow memories, and even forcibly manipulate some beings with weak mental strength.

Shen Xing suddenly remembered that the Black Dragon Lord had previously read his thoughts.

His Mental Power Control should have reached the fifth level, or even higher.

Above the fifth level lies the legendary 'domain'.

This realm is rather mysterious, and even involves some idealistic forces.

In short, it's about creating a unique spiritual realm of your own, where you can do many things.

For example, it can accelerate the thinking and reaction speed of friendly forces while slowing down the reaction speed of the enemy, achieving an effect similar to slowing down time.

It can also use its power to distort light, sound, and space within a given area, creating illusions and so on.

As for anything beyond the 'domain', no one has reached that level yet.

Even the sixth level was deduced by top experts from various forces on Blue Star, combining various ancient texts.

"Indeed, as Director Zhang Yu said, the cultivation of spiritual power is profound and extensive."

Shen Xing sighed softly, "If one can reach the third level, one will already be an outstanding individual, and will surely be able to enter the Master Realm in the future."

"The fourth level is extremely rare; there are only a handful in the entire world."

"And at this level, one can already be considered invincible within the same realm."

He secretly made up his mind that, in addition to leveling up, he would also need to keep up with the cultivation of his mental strength.

After all, he was planning to advance through all three forms simultaneously, with each form stronger than the last, which gave him a real sense of security!

"But before that, let's move the treasures we've acquired to the Land of Mist and then use them up."
