The Story Never Ends

Seeing that Davion was interested in the book, the old lady said, "The Mind Eye Technique will improve your perception and The Iron Cloth Body will make your physical body strong. I will just ask you for 200 low-grade spiritual stones for each of the books."

"Aren't 200 low-grade spiritual stones too low for a cultivation manual?" Davion asked.

"I believe this is fate, young man. Just think of this as a gift from an old lady." the old lady smiled.

"I only have 500 spiritual stones left, and I don't even know whether this technique is suitable for me. I also don't know whether I have the spiritual root to practice it." Davion pondered.

Seeing that the young man was getting confused, the old lady said, "You don't have to think whether they are suitable or not. Just buy one for now and see if it works. If it works then you can come another day to buy the other one too. What do you think?"

After a while, Davion came out of the shop excitedly.

"HAHA, who could have imagined that I can get a cultivation manual easily? but before I look at it, I should find an inn to rest. It is getting dark."

Seeing the young man finally leave, the old woman finally showed a weird smile. Then her face and body shape also started to change. Finally, the old woman became a young man.

"HAHA, it is too easy to fool people these days. I got 200 low-grade spirit stones easily by selling a martial arts manual written by a mortal who was blind. HAHA, it looks like I need to pack up my things and leave. My sect members are about to come for the ceremony. As a small sect, I hope we can find good candidates."

He took out a cloak from his space ring and wore it. In the cloak, you could see an emblem of a sect that is pretty strong among the smaller sects known as "The Thieves Sect". He produced a small fire from his hands and made sure the shop got destroyed. Then he blended into the darkness.

After finding an inn, Davion asked the waiter to send him food to his room. After waiting for a while, he heard a knock in his room.

"Put it inside", Davion said.

The waiter put the food in the room. He bowed and left.

After eating the food, he locked the door properly and made sure that nobody could disturb him. He infused a little bit of spiritual energy into the ring and carefully took out the old manual. His movements were very gentle, for fear that a piece of paper would be torn with a slight twist of his fingers. He slowly started flipping through this manual carefully.

"My name is William Arthur. I became blind at a very young age but I always wanted to be a swordmaster. So how could I become a swordmaster if I was blind? Then with my hard work and persistence, I finally created this technique which allows me to sense the breath of people. I named this technique 'The Mind Eye Technique' to allow all blind men under the world to become masters of kendo!"

"Wow, such a noble person. Predecessor, I will definitely not let you down."

Davion slowly started to go through the technique. After reading it for half an hour, he closed the book and put it inside the ring.

The so-called mind-eye technique, the principle doesn't seem to be complicated. According to this manual, the heavens and the earth all breathe. So, you just need to close your eyes and feel the breath of all things with your body and mind, that is the energy or Qi of all things. This kind of energy cannot be simply explained by smell, breath, or aura, but a very abstract, intangible spiritual substance that naturally radiates when living things exist. All living beings radiate different Qi or aura which depends upon states, emotions, and exercises practiced by them. So, with this technique, you will be able to feel the energy radiated by all those living beings in the distance around you. According to the manual, this technique is extremely difficult to practice. The first threshold is talent. Even if some people meditate for a lifetime, they can't feel the existence of this Qi. The second threshold is time. Even if you feel Qi, you might not be able to extend it and feel the Qi of faraway beings. So, this technique requires you to meditate for a long time to be able to do so.

"So, this is what cultivation means according to those novels that I used to read. People need to meditate for a long time. Sigh....cultivation is boring and tiring." Davion slapped himself and tried to focus.

"No, I should focus and try to cultivate my first immortal technique." Davion slowly closed his eyes and tried to feel the existence of Qi in the surroundings.

When he closed his eyes and tried to focus, he immediately stood up and laughed out loud.

"HAHA, The Mind Eye Technique is recorded in my panel below the experience bar. Damn, how could I forget about my golden finger? HAHA....."
