Chapter 48 – Mental Power Secret Technique: Purple Sun Contemplation!

“Someone like you is still young?”

After hearing this, Qin Yang glanced at Xiaobai before him.

Xiaobai had a petite figure, standing barefoot on the ground with snow-white hair trailing to the floor. Two beast ears drooped cutely atop her head, making her appear delicate and pitiful, like a little paper doll.

But since she had already been in Jianghai City twenty years ago, her age definitely wasn’t young.

“Master, you don’t believe me? I’m not lying!”

Xiaobai raised her small fist, declaring triumphantly.

Seeing this, Qin Yang shook his head with a smile, naturally not believing her words.

After all, fox tribes were inherently cunning.

Once their intelligence awakened, their lifespans also extended accordingly. Living for a hundred years or even several hundred years wasn’t uncommon for them.

This had long exceeded human understanding.

But even with such long lifespans…

They still needed to cultivate diligently to take human form, requiring vast amounts of time.

At least several hundred years, sometimes up to a thousand years.

Which meant…

Although Xiaobai currently appeared delicate and pitiful, looking like a little girl, her actual age might be greater than several Qin Yangs combined!

“So, she’s pretending to be young with me?”

A fox who’s lived who knows how long is acting cute with me?

How disgusting!

Thinking this, Qin Yang narrowed his eyes and smiled at Xiaobai without exposing her. Instead, he reached out and rubbed her little head saying, “Let’s go home.”

“Okay, Master!”

Xiaobai nodded, thinking Qin Yang actually believed her. She secretly felt proud and pleased, a cute fang peeking from her grinning mouth.

Thus pulling each other along, their figures vanished and soon returned to Qin Yang’s home.

Qin Yang’s rented apartment wasn’t large – just an ordinary one-bedroom unit. Having lived alone for so long, he didn’t often tidy up, leaving the room somewhat messy.

“With Xiaobai handling chores, life will be easier from now on.”

Just as he was thinking this…

Qin Yang slapped his forehead, suddenly remembering another important matter…

Where’s the damn system’s reward?!

Normally, after just subduing a Star Beast, rewards should have been distributed long ago. Why was the system silent?

Did it swallow my reward?

At this thought, Qin Yang instantly couldn’t tolerate it, silently calling out in his mind: “System? Where the hell are you! Get out here! Playing dead, are you?!”

Following his demand, the system in his mind quickly responded:

“Ding, host please calm down, this system has been here all along, just too shocked!”

“The host actually subdued a Beast Emperor without any effort!”

“This system admires you to the extreme!”

Listening to the system’s flattery, Qin Yang rolled his eyes irritably, saying:

“Cut the crap, are you trying to swallow my reward?”

“Host, you exaggerate! This system would never do such a thing!”

The system trembled in response, its tone revealing deep terror, as if afraid Qin Yang might destroy it in displeasure.

It had been silently recording Qin Yang’s earlier actions – suppressing a Beast Emperor effortlessly with a raised hand and subduing it under his command was truly terrifying!

“Host, you are simply too powerful! This system will distribute rewards immediately!”

As the system spoke, it began the settlement process.

“Ding, detected host has subdued a Beast Emperor, reward amplified twentyfold!

“Acquired mental spirit secret technique: Purple Sun Contemplation!

“Acquired twenty years of cultivation!”

“……”Hearing that the reward had arrived, Qin Yang finally set his mind at ease and then dismissed Xiaobai, saying, “Go, clean up the floor for me.”

“Oh… got it, Master.”

Xiaobai looked reluctant, but in the end, she obediently walked toward the kitchen, picked up a broom, and began preparing to clean.

“Clean it thoroughly! Don’t let me catch you slacking off!”

Qin Yang shouted at her before returning to the bed, sitting cross-legged, and eagerly checking the rewards granted by the system.

First.

It was twenty years of accumulated cultivation.

After absorbing it, he would instantly reach the Early-stage Grandmaster Realm, skipping the time needed for cultivation and leaping forward significantly in his progress.

“Not bad, not bad… leveling up while lying down… I like it!”

Qin Yang sat on the bed, focusing his mind and calming his thoughts. He slowly closed his eyes and channeled all the cultivation into his body.

Boom!

In an instant!

True Essence flowed, and the accumulated twenty years of Star Power coursed through his limbs and bones, cleansing his original body while countless insights into Star Power surged into his mind.

It was as if twenty years of life memories had flashed by.

A single thought brought enlightenment!

When Qin Yang opened his eyes again, the True Essence within him surged like a raging river, far more abundant than before.

“Already at the peak of the Early-stage Grandmaster Realm? Comforting!”

Qin Yang stretched his body, feeling it brimming with power, faint starlight radiating from him.

For an ordinary Grandmaster, reaching the peak of the early stage would require immense effort, yet for him, it had been effortlessly surpassed.

What cultivation bottlenecks?

Nonexistent!

“Good, next up, the remaining reward is the mental cultivation technique.”

Qin Yang closed his eyes and returned to his earlier absorption state. In his mind, fragments of related memories began to surface.

Purple Sun Contemplation.

As the name implied.

It involved visualizing a sun in the mind, shaping it into a grand, majestic purple-gold sunrise, and using it to forge one’s mental power.

As endless as the blazing sun in the sky.

“Not bad, this contemplation method is quite good. My mental power is indeed a bit lacking right now.”

Recalling the techniques and secrets of the method in his mind, Qin Yang felt immensely satisfied.

Mental cultivation was extremely difficult to begin with.

The hardest part was the lack of suitable contemplation methods.

Although the Library had contemplation methods, they were all of very low quality, offering minimal gains—barely a drop in the bucket.

Even so.

Every day, crowds of people flocked to study the contents, hoping to accumulate mental power one day.

This alone showed how precious contemplation methods were.

And now, with the “Purple Sun Contemplation” in Qin Yang’s hands—not only was it complete and fully formed, but it also allowed mental power to advance by leaps and bounds.

If it were released to the public, it would undoubtedly become something everyone would fight over!

“Excellent, excellent, this is the cultivation method meant for me.”

Thinking this, Qin Yang felt at ease and immediately began visualizing the purple sun.

Closing his eyes.

Darkness enveloped him, and Qin Yang silently envisioned the outline of the purple sun. A purple-gold radiance instantly ignited, like a torch from ancient times, dispelling the endless darkness in his mind.

As the outline of the purple sun grew larger, the dark chaos faded away, and the light became the manifestation of mental power, shining like sunlight.

In the next moment, it spread and enveloped the entire room.

Meanwhile.

In the corner, Xiaobai reluctantly cleaned the room, sulking inwardly and muttering under her breath.”Hmph! How dare you make me, your esteemed elder, do menial labor! This is absolutely outrageous!”

She stared at the broom in her hand, realizing her future fate would be just like this broom—completely controlled by Qin Yang’s whims.

As a descendant of the nine-tailed fox, how could she resign herself to such a fate!?

“Damn human…”Just as Xiaobai was gritting her silver teeth and fuming with resentment, a sudden surge of powerful spiritual energy caught her attention.”

“Eh? What’s this?”

Tracing the source of the spiritual energy in the room, she couldn’t help but turn her gaze toward Qin Yang lying on the bed.
