Chapter 112: Chapter 111: Virtual Learning Space, Talisman Crafting
Bo Saixi now had a growing curiosity after learning some of the information from the diary. She felt a strong urge to visit the mainland, to observe Su Ming and Tang San in secret. If Tang San still managed to obtain the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud as described in the original storyline, she intended to intercept it ahead of time.
However, the diary's rules restricted her. She couldn't leave Sea God Island prematurely and had to wait for that specific moment to arrive, which was still years away. For now, she could only place her hopes in Su Ming.
Bo Saixi also had another question lingering in her mind: Could no one else truly see this diary?
She exited the grand hall to find the Seven Holy Pillars gathered at the entrance. Sea Dragon Douluo stepped forward and asked, "Your Excellency, what was that just now?"
Bo Saixi glanced at them and began to speak, "Can any of you see this diary—"
Before she could finish the last word, a sudden surge of immense pressure washed over her, locking her in a killing intent. She instantly realized that saying even one more word might lead to her immediate destruction.
She pursed her lips, swiftly changing her statement: "It's nothing. You can leave now. I merely sensed something and wanted to check if there were any abnormalities on Sea God Island. You're dismissed."
Although the Seven Holy Pillars were puzzled, they dared not defy Bo Saixi's orders. Since she claimed it was fine, they assumed there wasn't any major issue. After all, with her strength at the peak of Rank 99, only two individuals on the entire continent posed a potential threat to her.
Even those two wouldn't gain any advantage if they faced her on Sea God Island.
[That's it for today's diary. Hopefully, I'll receive some worthwhile rewards!]
After recording his day's entry, Su Ming sat cross-legged to begin his cultivation. The first order of business was Soul Power Body Refinement, his daily compulsory practice.
His physical constitution was already formidable, capable of enduring soul rings with a limit of 50,000 years. By the time he reached Rank 50, he would be able to absorb at least a 100,000-year soul ring.
Thanks to constant training, his body's endurance improved every moment.
The refining effects of the Soul Power Body Refinement technique depended on the quality of his soul power—the purer the soul power, the better the results. So far, Su Ming hasn't encountered any limits to this cultivation method.
After completing the body refinement, he shifted to mental training. Unlike soul power, he only cultivated his spiritual power every few days since it required time to recover naturally after each session. Rushing it could lead to serious issues.
If there were treasures or tools to rapidly restore spiritual power, his training would progress faster. However, such items were exceedingly rare in this world. Most soul masters improved their spiritual power passively as their soul power increased, rather than training it directly.
His Sharingan had already evolved into the Mangekyō Sharingan. According to the system, its side effects were eliminated, granting him the powers of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. However, this also extended the time required to evolve further into the Rinnegan.
Ordinarily, the progression should have been from Sharingan to Mangekyō, and then to Eternal Mangekyō. The system's intervention combined the latter two stages, making the evolution process lengthier.
Still, Su Ming was content. With no risk of blindness from using the Mangekyō Sharingan, he felt confident. Moreover, his awakened ability was the dual Kamui, providing him with a powerful trump card against even Titled Douluo-level threats.
Kamui, a spatial ability, rendered him untouchable as long as his spiritual power held out. In dangerous situations, he could retreat into the Kamui dimension.
This Kamui skill was a built-in ability of his Mangekyō Sharingan. According to the system, he could also learn other Mangekyō abilities, such as Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, but only with a "Learning Device" reward. Obtaining it would depend on his luck.
Although other Mangekyō abilities tempted him, Su Ming was satisfied for now. Between Kamui for defense and offense, and Susanoo for protection, he already had plenty at his disposal.
At midnight, the system chimed.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing today's diary entry. Reward: Virtual Learning Space.]
Virtual Learning Space?
Su Ming's eyes lit up. Just the name promised something incredible!
[Virtual Learning Space: A training area for learning talisman crafting. It includes all necessary materials for practice. Accessible anytime. Note: The materials in the space are virtual and cannot be used in reality. Actual crafting requires real materials provided by the host.]
As expected, it was a fantastic reward!
Su Ming had been worried about finding a place to practice crafting talismans. With his current skills, purchasing materials for practice would cost a fortune and attract unwanted attention. It wasn't the right time for that.
This virtual space resolved his concerns. He could now train during his free time without any cost.
From the system's Talisman Compendium, Su Ming valued the utility-oriented talismans the most—like spatial talismans, teleportation talismans, and summoning talismans. These had far more practical uses than attack or defense talismans, which he didn't lack.
Of course, offensive and defensive talismans weren't useless. He could produce them for others, providing excellent tools for self-protection. Since practicing in the virtual space didn't consume resources, he had nothing to lose.
When it came to crafting real talismans, he could later source materials through auction houses or request Ning Rongrong's father's assistance. Su Ming was confident they wouldn't refuse such a tempting offer. These talismans were unparalleled life-saving tools.
Although talismans were single-use items, unlike Tang San's reusable hidden weapons, their unique functionalities gave them an edge.
Moreover, as time progressed, hidden weapons would lose prominence, overtaken by soul tools. Talismans, however, would remain irreplaceable.
Excited, Su Ming immediately entered the learning space.
His spiritual body entered the virtual realm, while his physical body remained cross-legged, appearing to meditate. From the outside, it looked like he was cultivating as usual, avoiding suspicion.
Inside the virtual space, he could instantly sense any disturbances in the real world and exit if needed.
The space itself was a void, containing only a desk and chair. On the desk were stacks of practice talisman papers. With a thought, various materials appeared before him, easily accessible and incredibly convenient.
