Chapter 315 – State of Mind
Barbara's cheeks flushed, a proud grin spreading across her face. "Hehehe, is that so? If that is the case, if you ever feel burdened by sothing again, feel free to offload it to . I might not know how to solve emotional problems, but I can at least listen. Leave it to , Barbara the great listener!" she declared, puffing out her chest.
Ava's heart ward, her smile softening. "Barbara… you are such a precious friend. From now on, if anyone sses with you, just tell . I will beat them up on your behalf!" she promised, her voice fierce but playful, her fist clenching as if ready to strike.
Barbara's eyes lit up, her excitent almost palpable. "Really? Yay! I have a few people I'm annoyed with, but I'm too weak to beat them up. They always ss with my research!" she exclaid, her hands clapping together.
Ava froze, dumbfounded. She really has people she wants to beat up?
The two ladies continued chatting for a while, and when they were done, Ava decided to listen to Barbara's advice: to learn everything about her body, from the largest organs to the smallest cells.
As a body cultivator, she was supposed to know more about the human body than anyone else, but she didn't. She was also far older than Barbara, yet her knowledge was far inferior. How embarrassing!
In the following days, Barbara taught everything she knew about human anatomy to Ava.
After Ava learned them, the next thing she could do for now was observe and study her own body.
As Ava started ditating, spreading her spiritual sense inside to begin the journey of understanding her body, she suddenly noticed a surprising change in her spiritual sense.
Huh? What's going on? It wasn't like this before. Ava was confused.
She was about to practice her spiritual sense to magnify more to see her cells more clearly, but now she didn't have to do that anymore. Why? Because, for so miraculous reason, her spiritual sense had transford. It was sharper, more precise, capable of magnifying her inner world with breathtaking clarity. She could zoom in as close as she desired, observing the entirety of a single cell—its mbrane, its nucleus, its organelles—in vivid detail. The sight was srizing, like peering into a hidden universe within her own body.
The mini-dantians! I can see them now! They are working hard, storing energy from the spiritual vein. Amazing! Ava exclaid inwardly.
As she explored the spiritual vein's energy with her newfound clarity, she made a startling observation. The countless thin, shimring strands that ford the thick, visible spiritual vein, apparent to the naked eye as a flowing river of light, were composed of even smaller, microscopic energetic strands. These tiny filants, far smaller than her mini-dantians, sward like ants around a fallen beast, their frenetic motion almost alive. More astonishingly, they were drawn to her mitochondria, the mini-dantians, as if pulled by a gravitational force or an invisible attraction.
This discovery ignited Ava's curiosity, a fire that consud her thoughts.
She beca utterly absorbed, her spiritual sense darting from organ to organ, cell to cell, mapping her body with a zeal she had never known. She studied the heart's robust chambers, the lungs' delicate alveoli, the liver's intricate network, comparing their structures with Barbara's lessons.
Zooming closer, she examined individual cells, noting the differences between evolved and non-evolved ones. The evolved cells—those transford by her body cultivation—were marvels of resilience, their mbranes thicker, their mini-dantians more vibrant, their energy flows stronger. In contrast, non-evolved cells seed fragile, their mitochondria dimr, lacking the cultivated spark.
Seeing the strength of her evolved cells, Ava felt a surge of pride, a newfound appreciation for the grueling effort she had poured into her cultivation
It was only a few days later that Ava finally stopped her curious observation.
While staying in the presence of the spiritual vein, the two ladies didn't have to worry about feeling hungry, thanks to the spiritual vein constantly replenishing their body energy. They might crave the taste of their favorite food, but they hadn't felt hungry for months already.
When Ava opened her eyes, she imdiately called for Barbara excitedly, "Barbara, Barbara! I have great news!"
But her shout faltered as she noticed Barbara, still deep in cultivation, her eyes closed, her body enveloped in a faint aura of Qi.
The spiritual vein wasn't only beneficial for body cultivators like her but also for Qi cultivators. It was better than any spirit stones or natural liquid Qi.
Monts later, Barbara completed her Qi circulation, her aura settling as she opened her eyes, blinking in the vein's glow.
"Did I disturb you?" Ava asked.
"Not at all," Barbara shook her head. "So what is it? You sounded happy. How much can you zoom in now? Can you see the arrangent of the cells forming the tissue already?" She asked.
Previously, Ava couldn't even see the tissue structure yet, so if she had improved, she definitely could see the cell arrangents now. Barbara was quite impressed by Ava's improvent speed. It took her a while to zoom that far back then, but Ava only took a few days.
"No, no. I can see more than that now, Barbara! I can even see the mini-dantians in detail, even the structure inside them I can see clearly. They are amazing! Truly deserving the title Powerhouse of the Cell!" Ava's excitent switched on again, grabbing Barbara's hands, but now with controlled strength, not to hurt her.
"WHAT??" Barbara's jaw dropped, her hands trembling in Ava's grasp, not from force but from sheer astonishnt.
How is this possible? That's even further than ! It's only been a few days! Barbara's own magnification skill, honed over the years, could barely glimpse mitochondrial structures, yet Ava had surpassed her in days.
"Your magnification skill improved that much in just a few days, Ava? Are you a genius?"
Ava shook her head. "No. Actually, when I started a few days ago, my spiritual sense could already zoom that much, out of nowhere! After that, I got absorbed by my curiosity, observing everything inside until just now."
"It just suddenly upgraded?" Barbara's eyes widened, then sparkled with a scholar's fervor. Her curiosity piqued instantly.
Interesting! What caused Ava's spiritual sense to improve so much? Her mind whirled, hypotheses forming instantly. Could it be the spiritual vein's energy, bathing them in its potent glow for months? She paused, then quickly turned her spiritual sense inward, testing her own magnification skill.
No change, she noted, her brow furrowing. Her skill remained as it was, ruling out the vein as the sole cause, though she could not dismiss it entirely. So, what else?
The state of mind!
That's right! This was a widely accepted theory but lacked solid proof. A sudden big improvent to the spiritual sense was usually due to the betternt of their state of mind! And this isn't just changing their mind or opinion about sothing, not shallow stuff like that. It must be sothing very significant that changes you as a person.
Ava said she felt a lot better after sharing her bottled-up feelings, but was that really enough to trigger the spiritual sense enhancent?
"Ava, has your spiritual sense range increased as well?" Barbara exited her thoughts and asked.
"Oh, wait a minute. Let
check." Ava quickly ran a test, gladly cooperating, knowing Barbara had sothing to figure out.
"Nope. It's still the sa," Ava replied.
"Hmm… then what about spiritual pressure or spiritual touch? Can you do it?"
Ava tested again but still couldn't.
"So, only the magnification skill, huh. Interesting…" Barbara murmured, her fingers tapping her chin as her thoughts raced.
Then sothing clicked in her mind.
I see… that must be it. Ava had said she no longer hated body cultivation, a seismic shift in her perspective. For soone whose entire life—two hundred years of pain, pride, and ambition—had been defined by body cultivation, moving from hatred to acceptance was no small thing. It was a transformation that reshaped her as a person, aligning her mind with her path.
This change, Barbara reasoned, had likely enhanced Ava's magnification skill, enabling her to study her anatomy with unprecedented clarity, a miraculous alignnt of mind and purpose. The spiritual vein might have amplified the effect, but Ava's emotional breakthrough was the key.
"Hehehe! Amazing! Hehehe! This is great!" Barbara burst into laughter, her voice ringing with delight.
Ava beca curious. Why was Barbara so happy?
"Ava, I want to do an interview with you."
"Interview? For what?"
"Hehehe. You will be great data for those researching sudden spiritual sense enhancent. What happened to you will be strong support for their theory. And since it happened before my very eyes, this data will be even more valuable. They will owe
a lot later!" Her hands clapped together.
"Sure. You can ask
anything," Ava agreed without hesitation. She wouldn't decline even if Barbara wanted hundreds of demonic beast bodies for her research. After all, Barbara had done a lot for her.
Barbara quickly started the interview, asking questions relevant to everything that happened for data.
The more Barbara asked, the more she realized the astonishing extent of Ava's magnification skill. Ava could see not only the mitochondria's internal folds but also the spiritual vein's energy at a microscopic level, a feat Barbara's own spiritual sense could not achieve.
