Assistant Wang: "Then just put it on President Peng’s desk, and I’ll remind him when he returns." She opened the office door and led He Kao inside, allowing him to personally place the materials on Peng Xian’s desk.
He Kao noticed the office computer on the desk, and also found a laptop in the cabinet, which suddenly sparked a thought in his mind that he might find what he wanted here at Peng Xian’s place.
Assuming the technique Peng Xian taught that girl was real, it ant he had it himself, and there might be a written or electronic version available. As for unlocking the computer and such, it seed like his professional forte...
Unfortunately, there was no opportunity to act at this mont.
...
That night, He Kao took another elixir.
Before the festival, Lin Qingshuang had entrusted Qian Guran with three types of elixirs for him, among which the Essence Nourishing Pill and Peiyuan Pill were concocted by the Alchemy Sect, while only the Qi Replenishing Pill ca from the Observing Body Sect.
The Essence Nourishing Pill is suitable for consumption during the Foundation Establishnt stage before entry, with an effect of nourishing essence and storing energy. It is recomnded to take one pill at a ti, with at least a week between doses, and to abstain during the nourishnt period.
Six days ago, He Kao had taken an Essence Nourishing Pill and, having now reached entry level, did not need to take it again. Furthermore, he already had clear self-examination and could sense the effects of that Essence Nourishing Pill having long been absorbed.
Therefore, he now consud a Qi Replenishing Pill.
The Qi Replenishing Pill is a special spirit dicine of the Observing Body Sect, primarily for Tier One Sorcerers. It can enhance the circulation of primordial qi and assist the body in quickly matching the growth of sensory abilities.
There are no particularly strict restrictions on taking the Qi Replenishing Pill. Even ordinary people who are not sorcerers can take it to strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives, but much of the spiritual effect would be wasted, depending on how much can be absorbed.
He Kao originally did not particularly need it, and even the previous Essence Nourishing Pill did not seem to have much effect, at most providing so minor improvent.
But after reading the annotations on the technique, he learned that his practice of "Observing " needed to reach perfection and break through to Tier Two within a month, and several days had already passed, so he decided to try taking a Qi Replenishing Pill.
Even a little help would be good, as he was still unclear about what state counted as perfection.
...
The so-called "Observing ," in itself, is a heart thod, different from ordinary introspection and not external imagery.
The previous "Nihility View" involved visualization, transforming oneself into nothingness, with consciousness rging into the universe, as if not there yet omnipresent. In reality, there still existed thousands of things, but once entering that mysterious portal, it beca complete nothingness.
"Observing " builds upon this, using the consciousness of the universe and all things to visualize "," which represents pure consciousness, devoid of any other thoughts and ideas.
This can be described verbally, but without cultivation as a foundation, it is impossible to comprehend, let alone achieve.
Upon success, "visualization" becos "observation," truly seeing "."
This sensation is extrely mysterious—
To the world, "I" beco "the only other," and the world gains "existence."
"I" and "the other" are coexistent entities.
Without "the other," there is no existence of "," for "I" would have nowhere to be or be felt.
Seeing myself, seeing the world.
...
"Observing " only has two states: it is either "visualization" or "observation." If one remains stuck in the visualization state and does not see oneself, problems will arise; therefore, it must be cultivated to perfection and breakthroughs achieved.
He Kao took a Qi Replenishing Pill and, after a mont, began sitting ditation. Entering a cultivation state without knowing how much ti had passed, he opened his eyes in the darkness, his gaze holding both an understanding and a trace of confusion.
Did he really achieve Tier One Perfection and smoothly break through to Tier Two? Had he already beco an assassin?
A Tier Two Sorcerer from the Hidden Moth Sect is colloquially known as an "Assassin."
Is it really that simple? What about the advancent ceremony? The breakthrough test? The supposed tribulation... However, upon reconsideration, this advancent thod is actually the most difficult because if it’s not possible, it simply isn’t. If a breakthrough cannot be achieved in the short term, it may never be possible.
It lacks any pre-designed rituals yet is much harder to achieve than any advancent with a ceremony. The step from visualization to observation is the greatest test.
Sotis what seems the simplest is the hardest to achieve.
No wonder the Communication Skill and Stealth Skill are advanced techniques, because if a Tier One Stalker can advance, there is barely enough ti to master them, if at all yet!
If He Kao were just an ordinary assassin, he would have now reached a preliminary state of coordination between consciousness and body, allowing him to better master various applied techniques.
But let’s not forget, he is also of the Hidden Moth, and at this mont, he has sensed a profound change in that portal.
He Kao attempts to open the portal and enter. If there were an observer nearby, they would think he never entered at all, as he remains motionless, having only inexplicably turned his body one hundred and eighty degrees.
However, from He Kao’s perspective, he had just entered the portal, then ca back out.
Inside the portal is pure "nothingness." After "observing ," there is "," theoretically rendering existence impossible within the portal, leading to a bizarre phenonon.
No matter how long he stays in the portal, zero ti is consud in reality, and the so-called ti consud within the portal is actually from his lifespan.
For example, if he stayed inside the portal for an hour, upon exiting, no ti would have passed in reality; to others, it would seem he never went in, rely having lost an hour of lifespan.
He traversed not space, but ti.
That being said, does this miraculous portal not beco aningless? Before, it could even be used to vanish!
The truth is, of course, not so. He Kao entered the portal once more. This ti, he traveled not through ti but through space. At the exact mont his figure vanished from the bedroom, he appeared in Jinxing dia Company, in Peng Xian’s office.
