Chapter 218: Explosive Increase

Crunch.

Lin Feng bit into the Serpentine Fruit. Fragrance filled his mouth. It actually tasted rather sweet.

“Mmm, crunchy. It tastes good.”

This Serpentine Fruit actually tasted rather good. It was unlike any fruit Lin Feng had ever eaten. It was very crispy and fragrant, and filled his mouth with water.

The Serpentine Fruit was not very large. Lin Feng finished it in the blink of an eye.

“Hmm, why isn’t anything happening?”

After a while, a strange expression appeared on Lin Feng’s face. Wasn’t the Serpentine Fruit supposed to stimulate one’s mind? Why was there no reaction after eating it now?

Just as Lin Feng was about to inquire Longbetham, he suddenly felt a chill in his mind. His mind was clearer than ever.

“Hurry up and cultivate the Mental Guidance Technique.”

Longbetham’s voice sounded in his mind. Lin Feng immediately focused and began to cultivate the Bemond Mental Guidance Technique. The mental power in his mind suddenly exploded, then rapidly recovered and was absorbed by the Mental Power Sphere.

In the past, even if Lin Feng’s mental power exploded, the increase in mental power was actually very, very little. But now, Lin Feng immediately felt the difference.

The icy feeling in his mind seemed to seep deep into his mind as soon as his mental power exploded. After his mental power recovered, he could see clearly that it had increased by a large margin, before integrating into the Mental Power Sphere, causing it to grow even larger.

“So this is what the Serpentine Fruit does…”

Lin Feng’s eyes also lit up. A miraculous item like the Serpentine Fruit was really effective in increasing his mental power, and the effect was actually quite great. In reality, the Mental Power Sphere would constantly expand. Once it expanded to a certain limit, a breakthrough would naturally occur. There was no trick to it. It was just acc.u.mulation, a constant, gradual acc.u.mulation of mental power.

Without miraculous items, Lin Feng could only acc.u.mulate it bit by bit. There was no knowing how long it would take.

However, it was much easier now. With the Serpentine Fruit, he could acc.u.mulate a large amount of mental power.

The effect of one Serpentine Fruit lasted for about a day. A day later, the cold feeling in Lin Feng’s mind disappeared.

Hence, Lin Feng began to eat the second Serpentine Fruit. It still felt chilly, but this time, the effect was slightly weaker, and it only lasted for most of a day.

There was still the third one, the effect of which only lasted for half a day.

Lin Feng bought five more Serpentine Fruits in one go with 400 merit value. As long as they were effective on mental power, Lin Feng would not be stingy with merit value.

The effects of the five Serpentine Fruits became weaker and weaker. By the fifth fruit, it was almost completely ineffective.

Just as Longbetham had said, the effects of the miraculous items would gradually weaken, and eventually become completely ineffective. Even so, a total of eight Serpentine Fruits increased Lin Feng’s mental power by at least 20%!

A 20% increment was not to be underestimated. Lin Feng already had a lot of mental power to begin with. Now, it had increased by 20% in just a few days. It had to be known Lin Feng slowly acc.u.mulated mental power, it would take at least two or three years for it to increase by so much.

Eight Serpentine Fruits saved two or three years’ worth of time. It was very much worth it.

Moreover, there was more than one type of miraculous item. Now that Lin Feng had seen the benefits, how could he miss out on such an opportunity?

Apart from the Serpentine Fruit, Lin Feng also had his eye on the Ink Poison. However, the Ink Poison was highly toxic. If a Metamorphic Realm martial artist were to come in touch with one drop of it, they would almost certainly die.

Originally, it was also a method of “offense”. Many martial artists actually bought this Ink Poison for self-defense. As a trump card, it could give the enemy a fatal blow at a critical moment.

Lin Feng naturally did not need the Ink Poison as his trump card. He needed the Ink Poison to stimulate his mental power and allow his mental power to increase rapidly. Hence, Lin Feng bought five drops of Ink Poison in one go to test the effect.

Soon, five drops of Ink Poison were delivered to Lin Feng. Each drop was stored in a separate bottle. Lin Feng opened the bottle and saw that the Ink Poison was pitch-black and emitted an unpleasant smell.

However, no matter how unpleasant it smelled, it was fine as long as it was useful for increasing mental power.

“Longbetham, how should I use this Ink Poison?”

“With your physique, dilute it into three portions and take one portion every day.”

Lin Feng divided the drop of Ink Poison into three portions according to Longbetham’s instructions. He opened his mouth and swallowed the diluted Ink Poison directly.

The diluted Ink Poison tasted unpleasant and very bitter. As soon as it entered his body, Lin Feng felt as if a strange force was wreaking havoc in his body.

Lin Feng was shocked. As expected of a terrifying poison that could collapse the genes of even Metamorphic Realm martial artists, it could even destroy his physique without inhibition. Fortunately, Lin Feng had the undying characteristic, and could recover rapidly from its destruction.

Physical pain was nothing. Although the Ink Poison was very powerful, it had been diluted after all. Moreover, the speed at which the Ink Poison was destroyed was far inferior to Lin Feng’s speed of self-recovery. Hence, the Ink Poison could not cause much damage to Lin Feng’s body.

As for mental power, Lin Feng had already sensed it. His mind was on fire, as if flames were burning within. Already familiar with the method, he naturally knew what to do and quickly began to circulate the Mental Guidance Technique.

The effects of the Ink Poison was very good, even far surpa.s.sing the effects of the Serpentine Fruit. Under the stimulation of the Ink Poison, the mental power in Lin Feng’s mind increased explosively.

Hence, Lin Feng took one portion of Ink Poison after another continuously. In the blink of an eye, 15 days had pa.s.sed, and he had already consumed five drops of Ink Poison. Of course, they were all diluted.

These five drops of Ink Poison were very expensive. Each drop cost 200 merit value. Even though Lin Feng had a discount, it still cost Lin Feng a total of 800 merit value.

However, Lin Feng continued to purchase five more drops of Ink Poison. He felt that the Ink Poison was still effective, and its duration lasted much longer than the Serpentine Fruit.

Just as Lin Feng had expected, only after purchasing five more drops of Ink Poison and using them all did the Ink Poison finally become completely ineffective.

However, the effect of these ten drops of Ink Poison was far stronger than the Serpentine Fruit. It increased Lin Feng’s mental power by a full 40%!

“Phew…”

Lin Feng heaved a long sigh of relief. Only a month and a few days had pa.s.sed, but his mental power had increased by more than half. The effects of these miraculous items were simply too good.

Originally, Lin Feng was still somewhat pleased, but then Longbetham said suddenly, “Very ordinary. If you were in the universe, there is no knowing how much cultivation resources so many miraculous items could be exchanged for. There is no knowing how many lifeforms would go insane over them. In the end, you consumed so many miraculous items alone, yet your mental power still has not broken through.”

Lin Feng was a little embarra.s.sed, but it was not his fault that his mental power could not break through. Moreover, he vaguely sensed that his mental power was about to break through.

This feeling was very strong. Lin Feng did not pity his merit value and continued to purchase the third miraculous item, Peac.o.c.k Pollen!

However, before purchasing it, Lin Feng used his communicator to contact Qu Chen. After all, it was unreasonable to just “disappear” for an entire month at once.

However, Qu Chen was also very understanding. She knew that Lin Feng was preparing for a secret mission, so she generously let Lin Feng prepare first.

Lin Feng nodded to himself and made up his mind. Once his mental power broke through, he would spend the rest of his time with Qu Chen.

Hence, he decisively bought 10 grams of Peac.o.c.k Pollen for 100 merit value per gram. After the discount, Lin Feng spent 800 merit value to buy 10 grams of Peac.o.c.k Pollen.
