I Stepped on a Bug, and the System Says I Slayed a Dragon?-Chapter 48: Spiritual Power Secret Technique: Purple Sun Observation Method

Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Spiritual Power Secret Technique: Purple Sun Observation Method

"And you call yourself young?"

Qin Yang glanced at Xiaobai.

Xiaobai had a petite frame. She stood barefoot on the ground, her snow-white hair trailing behind her. Two beast ears drooped from her head, giving her an endearingly helpless look, like a little paper doll.

But since she had been in Jianghai City for twenty years, she was definitely not young.

"Master, you don’t believe me? I’m not lying to you!"

Xiaobai said, raising a small fist in a show of bravado.

Qin Yang just smiled and shook his head, clearly not believing her.

After all, the Fox Race was cunning by nature.

Once they gained sentience, their lifespans were also extended. It wasn’t at all uncommon for them to live for a hundred or even several hundred years.

This was far beyond the scope of human comprehension.

But even with such long lifespans,

they still had to cultivate diligently to take on human form, a process that took a great deal of time.

It could take anywhere from a few hundred to a thousand years.

In other words,

although Xiaobai looked like a helpless young girl, her actual age was likely several times greater than Qin Yang’s!

’So, she’s trying to play the cute little girl with me?’

’A fox who’s lived for who-knows-how-long is trying to act all cutesy with me?’

’So cringe!’

At that thought, Qin Yang smiled at Xiaobai, his eyes crinkling. He didn’t call her out on it, instead reaching out to pat her small head. "Come on, let’s go home."

"Okay, Master!"

Xiaobai nodded, thinking Qin Yang had actually believed her. Secretly pleased, she grinned, revealing a cute little fang.

And just like that, their figures vanished, and they soon arrived back at Qin Yang’s home.

The apartment Qin Yang rented wasn’t large—just a standard one-bedroom place. He was used to living alone and didn’t tidy up often, so it was a bit of a mess.

’With Xiaobai to do the chores, things will be much easier from now on.’

Just as he was thinking this,

Qin Yang smacked his forehead, suddenly remembering something important...

’Where are the damn system’s rewards?!’

’Logically, since I just subdued a Star Beast, the rewards should have dropped by now. Why is the system silent?’

’Did it swallow my rewards?’

At this thought, Qin Yang couldn’t take it anymore. He shouted in his mind, "System? Where the hell are you! Get out here! Playing dead, are we!"

In response to his angry demand, the system in his mind quickly spoke up:

"Ding! Host, please calm down! This system has been here all along; I was just too shocked!"

"You subdued a Beast Emperor so effortlessly!"

"This system is in absolute awe!"

Listening to the system’s flattery, Qin Yang rolled his eyes in annoyance and said,

"Cut the crap. Were you trying to swallow my rewards?"

"Host, you’re being too harsh! This system is absolutely not that kind of system!"

the system replied, its voice trembling with sheer terror, as if it feared Qin Yang might destroy it on a whim.

It had been silently recording Qin Yang’s actions. He had suppressed a Beast Emperor with a mere wave of his hand and then subjugated it. It was utterly terrifying!

"You are simply too powerful, Lord Host! This system will issue the rewards right away!"

As it spoke, the system began to process the rewards.

"Ding! Detected that the Host has subdued a Beast Emperor. Applying a 20x reward multiplier!

"Obtained Spiritual Power Secret Technique: Purple Sun Observation Method!

"Obtained twenty years of Cultivation!"

"..."

Hearing the rewards announced, Qin Yang finally relaxed. He turned to dismiss Xiaobai, saying, "Go on, clean this place up for me."

"Oh... alright, Master."

Xiaobai looked reluctant, but she still went obediently to the kitchen, grabbed a broom, and prepared to start cleaning.

"Make it spotless! Don’t let me catch you slacking off!"

Qin Yang called out to her, then returned to his bed. He sat cross-legged, eager to examine the rewards from the system.

First,

there were the twenty years of accumulated Cultivation.

Absorbing it would allow him to instantly reach the Early Stage of the Grandmaster Realm, saving him immense training time and letting him leapfrog a huge portion of the cultivation journey.

’Not bad, not bad. Leveling up just by lying around... I love it!’

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

BOOM!

In an instant!

His True Essence began to circulate. Twenty years of accumulated Star Force surged through his limbs and bones, cleansing his physical body. Along with it came an immense influx of insight into Star Force itself.

It was as if twenty years of memories and experiences were flowing through him.

Instant enlightenment!

When Qin Yang opened his eyes again, the True Essence within him was surging like a raging river, having swelled to a magnitude far greater than before.

’Already at the Peak of the Early-stage Grandmaster Realm? Nice!’

Qin Yang stretched his body, which was now brimming with power. Faint motes of starlight seemed to emanate from him.

An ordinary Grandmaster would have to endure untold hardships to reach the peak of the early stage, but for him, the leap was effortless.

’A cultivation bottleneck?’

’Not for me!’

’Alright, on to the next reward: the Spiritual Power Secret Technique.’

Qin Yang closed his eyes, returning to his state of absorption as relevant information about the technique flooded his mind.

The Purple Sun Observation Method.

As the name suggested,

one had to close their eyes and visualize a sun, forging a magnificent, purple-gold morning sun within the mind, and use it to build up one’s Spiritual Power.

It would become a boundless source, just like the sun in the sky.

’Not bad. This Visualization method is great. My Spiritual Power is definitely a little lacking right now.’

Qin Yang felt extremely satisfied as he recalled the secrets of this Dharma Gate.

Reaching even the Entry Level of Spiritual Power Cultivation was extremely difficult.

The biggest obstacle was the lack of a proper Visualization method.

While the library had some Visualization methods, they were all vastly inferior versions. The gains from cultivating them were minimal—a drop in the ocean.

And yet,

people still flocked there every day to study those texts, hoping they might one day accumulate some Spiritual Power.

This just went to show how precious a good Visualization method was.

A method like the Purple Sun Observation Method in Qin Yang’s possession was not only complete but could also allow one’s Spiritual Power to advance by leaps and bounds.

If it were to appear in the outside world, people would undoubtedly go crazy fighting over it.

’Excellent, excellent. This Dharma Gate was made for me.’

Feeling pleased, Qin Yang immediately began to visualize the purple sun.

He closed his eyes.

Darkness washed over him. Qin Yang silently visualized the outline of the purple sun, and a disc of purple-gold light instantly flared to life. Like a torch in a primeval age, it drove away the endless darkness in his mind.

As the outline of the purple sun expanded, the dark Chaos receded. The light, a manifestation of his Spiritual Power, grew brighter, as if the sun were dawning.

In the next moment, it spread out to envelop the entire room.

At the same time,

in a corner, Xiaobai was reluctantly sweeping the room, sulking and muttering under her breath.

’Hmph! How dare he make me do chores! The absolute nerve!’

She looked at the broom in her hand. The thought that her future destiny was to be just like this broom, completely at Qin Yang’s mercy, was infuriating.

’I’m a descendant of the Nine-tailed Fox! How can I resign myself to this?!’

’That detestable human...’

Xiaobai clenched her jaw, fuming.

Suddenly, a powerful wave of Spiritual Power erupted, catching her attention.

’Huh? What’s this?’

Sensing the Spiritual Power in the room, she followed it to its source and couldn’t help but look toward Qin Yang on the bed.
