Half an hour later.
The man appeared again, looking at everyone as he said, "Now I will explain the Waterwood Visualization thod to you."
Jiang Man didn't dare hesitate and listened quietly.
As long as he roughly understood how to operate it, he could quickly learn it.
The Technique Purple Qi would provide him with a safety net.
The Visualization thod was different from the previous Qi Refinent thod or Blood Energy thod.
It had no physical movents to assist.
Instead, it relied on spiritual energy circulation assistance to condense visualization patterns, further refining ntal power.
Jiang Man listened carefully, not daring to miss any detail.
But the speaker's pace wasn't slow, making it too difficult to fully comprehend everything.
He could only strive to morize it.
Then try everything one by one.
One hour later.
"That's roughly how it works. The rest is up to your own cultivation. We'll observe your practice to achieve the desired circulation effects," the man said while looking at the crowd.
Soone wanted to ask questions, but the other party shook his head: "Find your answers through practice itself."
"Truth erges from practical experience."
With that, no one dared speak up anymore.
Jiang Man discovered that this Mortal-grade Superior Visualization thod was truly difficult to learn.
Even after the explanation, the content remained hard to digest.
It was because his foundational knowledge was too limited.
But even the wealthy young masters and misses were sweating profusely, their eyes filled with confusion, as many terms were completely new to them.
Yet they couldn't ask questions, so they could only grit their teeth and attempt cultivation.
Jiang Man increasingly felt this wasn't testing cultivation techniques, but rather testing difficulty tolerance.
But since this was the only way to learn a Superior Visualization thod, he could only begin attempting the circulation.
As he circulated his energy, the purple qi moved along with it.
But when he reached the halfway point, the purple qi receded.
His body also trembled violently.
Spiritual energy conflict forced him to stop cultivating.
After thinking for a mont, Jiang Man borrowed the purple qi to try finding the correct cultivation thod.
Unfortunately, no matter how many attempts he made.
The purple qi would always recede when he tried to condense the visualization object.
This left him utterly perplexed.
As ti grew increasingly short, Jiang Man committed all the content to mory.
As long as he could rember everything, he could find a solution back ho.
At this mont, the woman standing at the edge looked toward the man and said, "Senior Brother Lu, have you reviewed these six people's profiles?"
Senior Brother Lu nodded: "Yes, the most interesting one is that Jiang Man. Reaching the Sixth Level of Qi Refinent in three months seems decent, but he definitely has hidden support."
"Additionally, his talent isn't as high as expected—he didn't even identify the specific issues with this Visualization thod."
"Junior Sister Xia, any thoughts?"
Junior Sister Xia shook her head slightly: "What thoughts could I have? I'm just accompanying you this ti. But Senior Brother, aren't you going to place any bets?"
"This Jiang Man shows so promise—it would be a pity to miss out."
"What would I regret?" Senior Brother Lu said with a laugh. "He's the one who should regret it—he still falls sowhat short."
"Perhaps they'd never dream that both the Blood Qi thod and Visualization thod are rely bait to accompany."
"What we truly intend to teach is the Qi Refinent thod."
"Naturally, we'll bet on that side. Placing bets here would be wasteful."
"His performance was diocre, causing him to miss out on a great opportunity like ."
Junior Sister Xia also sighed: "That genius has already caught the sect's attention. He'll likely receive sufficient resources and probably take the exam together with the Rear Courtyard mbers next year. We should see him in the sect by the second half of next year."
"I wonder if he'll stir up so waves in the sect."
After that, they said nothing more.
Instead, they observed everyone's cultivation progress.
Until midnight arrived.
The pitch-black sky brought no trace of coolness.
Jiang Man and the others were all drenched in sweat.
They kept trying continuously.
But ultimately, everyone failed.
Two people even collapsed weakly to the ground, falling unconscious.
"Alright, ti's up," Senior Brother Lu said while looking at the crowd. "Report your individual progress. Also, you may morize the technique and practice it back ho."
"But do not spread it externally. If you do, it will be considered privately transmitting sect techniques."
"Then soone will naturally co looking for you."
As his voice faded, the unconscious people woke up.
Although they could practice at ho, they didn't feel particularly happy about it.
Because without explanations and guidance, learning the technique would be very difficult.
Relying on family seniors for guidance wouldn't be easy either.
Carelessly showing the technique to elders could bring serious trouble if discovered.
The first to step forward was the tall man from earlier.
He reported his progress quite dejectedly—he had only circulated one-quarter of the technique.
The others were similarly unsuccessful.
After everyone else left, Jiang Man finally reported his progress.
Nearly one-half completion.
Senior Brother Lu showed no surprise, simply letting him leave.
Jiang Man walked out of the room to find the area outside already empty.
He returned alone under the moonlight.
Throughout the journey, he couldn't understand why he had failed.
When he finally reached the stable, Jiang Man sat before Old Yellow Ox.
"Failed?" Old Yellow Ox asked.
Jiang Man nodded: "Failed, but I don't understand where I went wrong."
"Describe the technique," Old Yellow Ox said.
"Will that cause problems?" Jiang Man asked.
"As long as I don't practice it, there won't be issues," Old Yellow Ox replied.
With that assurance, Jiang Man explained the technique in detail.
Soon, Old Yellow Ox reached a conclusion: "You failed because you couldn't discern human intentions. The technique is flawed, or the teacher deliberately made it that way."
Jiang Man found this hard to believe: "Flawed? Why?"
"Probably as an excuse. Among the Qi Refinent thod, Blood Energy thod, and Visualization thod, likely only one is correct. They probably wanted to teach soone a specific thod, and to avoid being too obvious, they included all of you."
"But they didn't give you the correct technique."
"The technique transmitters this ti were quite petty—they left such obvious flaws," Old Yellow Ox said casually. "I'll modify it for you, then you can try again."
"Additionally..."
Old Yellow Ox looked at Jiang Man: "You only have about one week left. Can you complete the thirteenth layer of the Visualization thod?"
Jiang Man lowered his gaze: "It is indeed sowhat challenging."
Sowhat? Old Yellow Ox didn't joke around and proceeded to modify the technique.
This ti when Jiang Man practiced again, he started off stumbling as before.
But finally, he successfully outlined a water cauldron in his mind.
Then he used the cauldron to refine his ntal power once.
Thus, he completed one visualization cycle, with the cauldron remaining in his ntal space.
Visualization successfully imprinted—first layer of Waterwood Visualization thod.
He had achieved entry-level proficiency.
The Visualization thod indeed had problems.
Brother Ox truly was a senior.
After that, Jiang Man continued visualizing.
Cultivating the Visualization thod was much faster than practicing the Qi Refinent thod.
After two cycles.
Second layer of Visualization thod.
After four cycles.
Third layer of Visualization thod.
After eight cycles.
Fourth layer of Visualization thod.
After sixteen cycles...
After thirty-two cycles...
After sixty-four cycles...
Seventh layer of Visualization thod.
At this mont, faint water cauldron illusions flickered around Jiang Man's body.
Old Yellow Ox standing nearby froze in place.
The Visualization thod reached seventh layer before dawn even broke?
For a mont, Jiang Man's earlier words about it being "sowhat challenging" echoed in its mind, making it feel like Jiang Man had been toying with it.
By daybreak.
Jiang Man finally opened his eyes.
He had now reached the eighth layer of Visualization thod.
He sighed with emotion: "This progress is quite good."
As he spoke, Jiang Man turned to look at Old Yellow Ox: "I can achieve such speed thanks to you, Senior."
Old Yellow Ox: "......"
Are you thanking
for arranging your marriage?
After tidying the stable, Jiang Man continued cultivating.
He planned to request several days off.
Until he reached the thirteenth layer of Visualization thod.
Because he couldn't be sure how many cycles would be needed for subsequent breakthroughs.
If he ran out of ti, the consequences would be unthinkable.
The closer to the end, the more careful he needed to be.
