Chapter 347: 207 Visualization_2

The two sat face to face, negotiating the price over tea.

Fang Zhixing curiously asked, "May I inquire, Big Brother Yuan, where did you find the Blood Transformation Grass?"

The middle-aged man answered frankly, "It happened by chance. I was leading a team to hunt the ’Phantom Rui Deer’ in the Underground World. After we found our target, we started the pursuit. When we passed by a deep pit, one of my companions accidentally fell in. But as it turned out, he stumbled upon a patch of Blood Transformation Grass at the bottom of the pit. It was purely accidental."

Fang Zhixing understood and was not at all surprised.

After all, such strokes of luck could happen to any Hunter and were not unusual.

The subsequent bargaining was both swift and pleasant.

On one hand, this was because Fang Zhixing raised the offer by thirty percent above the market price.

On the other hand, because the middle-aged man had gotten the Blood Transformation Grass too easily, he did not intend to extort an excessive amount of money; earning something was a good thing.

In a moment, they exchanged money for goods, both parties amicably profiting from the transaction, contributing to an increasingly harmonious atmosphere.

Fang Zhixing put away the Blood Transformation Grass and glanced at the Beast Skin Scroll on the table, asking casually, "Big Brother Yuan, pardon my boldness, but is that Beast Skin Scroll a Visualization Diagram of the Demon Transformation Realm Cultivation Technique?"

The man’s expression changed, and he exclaimed in astonishment, "Oh, does Boss Zhang recognize Visualization Diagrams?"

Fang Zhixing plainly stated, "My mentor once showed me a Visualization Diagram, hence my acquaintance with it."

The words "my mentor" hinted that Fang Zhixing had the backing of a master, power, and heritage.

The middle-aged man instantly offered his respect and replied, "Honestly, this Visualization Diagram is a treasured heirloom of my family."

Fang Zhixing quickly turned his head away, waving his hand, "I apologize, I shouldn’t have taken an extra glance."

"Ah, it’s a damaged item; your looking won’t matter," said the man with a sigh. He stood up, made no attempt to cover it, and invited Fang Zhixing to come over and take a look together.

Unable to refuse such a courteous offer, Fang Zhixing went over and examined the totem carefully.

On the Beast Skin, a bizarre insect was depicted, its upper body strongly resembling a mantis, while its lower body was similar to that of a silkworm, with a back that rose sharply like a blade’s edge.

Such a peculiar totem, unrecorded in the "Exotic Beast Record," was beyond Fang Zhixing’s knowledge.

Moreover, perhaps due to the ravages of time, the totem’s head was blurry.

This was likely what the middle-aged man had referred to as "imperfect."

Fang Zhixing blinked and asked, "Big Brother Yuan, are you suggesting that this incomplete Visualization Diagram is now without any purpose?"

"Yes!" the middle-aged man said, spreading his hands. "Visualization Diagrams must match the Cultivation Technique. When we release our physical bodies, the mind must clearly envision what the released body looks like.

Consider this, if you’re not clear about what the released body should look like, the outcome will be either a failed release or an uncontrollable release, ultimately leading to your body exploding and death."

Fang Zhixing had an epiphany and inquired, "Is there a way to restore it?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and lamented, "It’s tough. All the elders above my father’s generation are dead, and no one in the world knows what the Visualization Diagram should look like."

Fang Zhixing asked further, "Perhaps you could try to complete it yourself?"

The man laughed wryly, "It’s not that simple. You can’t invent Visualization Diagrams out of thin air; they must perfectly fit the Cultivation Technique, just like the relationship between shoes and feet.

You can repair broken shoes or even make a new pair, but your shoe size must be correct, the material must be right, and even the embroidery on the shoe surface must be identical.

Alas, restoring a Visualization Diagram is immensely difficult. I’ve been diligently researching for nearly six years and still have no clue."

Upon hearing these words, Fang Zhixing felt an inexplicable weight in his heart.

The Visualization Diagram for the "Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Skill" was also a blur, which left no clue where to start.

"Condition 5 clearly states I must visualize the totem 1,000 times; if I can’t visualize it..."

A surge of intense anxiety welled up in Fang Zhixing. If he couldn’t fulfill Condition 5, then all his current efforts would be in vain, for nothing.

After a moment of contemplation, Fang Zhixing humbled himself and sought advice, "Big Brother Yuan, to be frank, I’ve also encountered a similar problem. Having researched for so many years, you must have consulted many experts. Is there really no solution at all?"

The middle-aged man explained carefully, "To tell you the truth, I have indeed consulted a few experts, all strong figures from the Nine Ox Realm. It cost me a substantial amount of money to ask for their help in restoring the Visualization Diagram, but none of them dared take the job for fear of leading others astray.

Nonetheless, I wasn’t without gain. One of the experts taught me a method called the ’Focusing Technique.’

He believed that every Visualization Diagram has a core. Aside from the core, all other parts are minor details, insignificant.

Therefore, if we focus on visualizing the most essential part of the totem and allow other parts to naturally emerge, it would be like completing the entire totem."

Fang Zhixing half-understood and frowned, "From your perspective, where is the core of this totem, and how do we find it?"

The middle-aged man pointed to the two mantis legs on the totem and said earnestly, "The core is not fixed; it varies from person to person. Your understanding of the cultivation technique is different, and the emphasis is different, hence the core of the totem is naturally different."

"Take me for example, when I first looked at this visualization diagram, I found that the lower half of the totem was the clearest, full of detail."

"But as I continuously contemplated the cultivation technique and my understanding deepened, gradually, these two mantis legs became clearer and clearer in my eyes."

"I am almost certain that for me, the core of this visualization diagram is these two mantis legs."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhixing felt a strange stir in his heart and looked closely at the entire totem.

After a moment, he was surprised to find that the part he could see the clearest was not the upper body, but the centipede beneath the silkworm’s abdomen.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel a thrill.

"Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Skill" originated from "Tian Luo Secret Scripture", whose visualization diagram is an eight-legged Tian Luo spider.

And condition three clearly required him to collect legs from 10 types of Third Level "multi-segment class mutant beasts."

Also, the Blood Mist Totem on Yan Hongtao’s body—the part that he could see the clearest were the tentacles.

"Could it be that my core is tentacles?!"

Fang Zhixing took a deep breath, immediately refreshed, and then quickly got up to take his leave.

He rushed back to the inn and sat at the desk, taking out paper and inkstone to begin drawing.

First, he drew himself on the paper, then closed his eyes and meditated.

"Demon Transformation First Stage, to choose a specific part of the body to release, for me, the most suitable part is the hands."

In Fang Zhixing’s mind, he imagined his hands after release gradually turning into the shape of a tentacle.

Once he had a solid idea, he then drew it on the paper.

But it didn’t end there!

He had a magical ability that others did not possess, which was the Burst Skill "Blood Net".

Fang Zhixing raised his right hand, used Blood Net, adjusted the four categories, and changed the form of his right hand.

His right hand extended forward a bit, the five fingers became thick and long, drooping down—it increasingly looked like five tentacles, writhing and entwining, at first glance quite resembling an octopus.

Just in that instant, the System Panel lit up.

[5, visualize the Visualization Totem over 1000 times (1/1000)]

"Eh?!"

Fang Zhixing was initially stunned, then immediately overjoyed, exclaiming, "No way, it worked just like that!"

He took a deep breath as his right hand quickly returned to normal.

Then he changed his right hand into the shape of a menacing octopus tentacle again.

[5, visualize the Visualization Totem over 1000 times (2/1000)]

"Holy shit!"

Fang Zhixing was immensely invigorated, having never expected to solve a problem that had troubled him for so long so easily.

What was he waiting for then!

Fang Zhixing lay on the bed and raised both hands, changing their shape simultaneously.

[5, visualize the Visualization Totem over 1000 times (4/1000)]

Next, he took off his shoes, held up both hands and feet, and changed their shape all together.

[5, visualize the Visualization Totem over 1000 times (8/1000)]

"Hahaha, that’s freaking awesome!"

Fang Zhixing put his mind to work, stripped off his clothes, and was bare as a jaybird.

He looked down at the area between his legs and changed its shape.

[5, visualize the Visualization Totem over 1000 times (13/1000)]

"This works, too? Awesome!"

Fang Zhixing undid his hairband, letting his hair fall loose, then he used Blood Net, altering the shape of every single hair.
