My Martial Arts Level Never Drops

Chapter 288: Chapter 152: Divine Sense

When Qin Fang opened his eyes again, the sky was already dark.

...He had been in Contemplation ever since he woke up—for an entire day!

But right now, Qin Fang was brimming with excitement.

Divine Sense...

...This was, without a doubt, a true Extraordinary Power!

He instinctively closed his eyes and once again saw what was under his bed.

He opened his eyes, then got down to verify...

And sure enough, what his naked eye saw was completely identical to what his Divine Sense had perceived!

...In fact, freed from the limitations of his physical eyes, the view was even more comprehensive!

Even with Qin Fang’s composure, he couldn’t help but feel an excitement so intense he could barely contain it.

’...This is X-ray vision!’

He closed his eyes, relying purely on his Divine Sense to perceive his surroundings.

The result left him stunned. He only opened his eyes after a long moment.

’It seems my Divine Sense is still very weak. At most... it can extend less than half a meter from my body... The farther out it goes, the blurrier it becomes, until it’s completely plunged into darkness...’

’Half a meter sounds short, not very useful...’

Even so, Qin Fang let out a long breath, his expression quickly turning to one of excitement.

’I thought this Contemplation Method wouldn’t provide any combat strength, but now it seems that enhancing my Divine Sense is pretty great too... For now, it doesn’t directly increase my attack power, but as long as I continue to cultivate, my Divine Sense will grow stronger and stronger, and eventually...’

His eyes gleamed as his imagination ran wild for a moment.

After getting his emotions in check, Qin Fang began to experiment with using his Divine Sense.

The first thing he thought of, naturally, were the Poison Glands and other items he had hidden under a floor tile. He wanted to see if he could perceive them...

He walked over to the floor tile. With a mere thought, he instantly sensed it... a hollow space beneath the tile, filled with an assortment of bottles and jars.

But as he focused his perception, he was suddenly stunned... because he could clearly sense a faint light flowing within those bottles and jars.

Qin Fang’s eyes snapped open, a look of bewilderment on his face...

’No way... Can this Divine Sense... also perceive Extraordinary items?’

He hurriedly lifted the floor tile, took out a vial of Poison Gland, and uncorked it.

He probed it again with his Divine Sense...

...It was really there!

A faint, fluorescent glow emerged.

It wasn’t obvious, but it was undeniably real!

This poison came from a Giant Bee.

The Giant Bee was, without a doubt, an Extraordinary creature. So the materials from its body... were undoubtedly Extraordinary Materials as well.

He quickly turned his attention to the Poisonous Thorn... and just as he expected, he could see a faint, flowing light moving upon it as well.

It was faint, but it was real!

A look of wonder appeared on Qin Fang’s face...

’In that case, does Divine Sense also have the ability to appraise treasures?’

’Can I tell if a material is Extraordinary just by sweeping it with my Divine Sense?’

Qin Fang was thrilled.

After a moment, he suddenly felt a faint, needle-like pain in his head.

That snapped Qin Fang back to his senses. He quickly retracted his Divine Sense, no longer letting it manifest externally...

’...Right, my Divine Sense is still very weak. According to the information I gained during my Epiphany, using Divine Sense greatly increases the consumption of Spiritual Power. If I overuse it, I could fall into a coma... or worse.’

Qin Fang was inwardly alarmed and made a mental note of this.

’Right, I wonder how much proficiency I gained...’

At this thought, he quickly checked his panel.

The moment he saw it, his eyes went wide with shock...

’Profound Nether Realm-Breaking Awl (Contemplation) (Spirit) (Minor Achievement): 1348/5000’

1348?!!!

’It actually broke a thousand?!’

’What kind of miracle drug is this!’

Qin Fang’s eyes were wide in disbelief.

’No, it’s not just thirteen hundred... Before I reached Minor Achievement, I was still short by over a hundred proficiency points... which means this one qian of Soul Condensing Crystal Ointment gave me a total of more than fifteen hundred proficiency points?!’

This was astonishing!

This was, without a doubt, the first time he had ever seen such a terrifying leap in proficiency for any of his skills!

Fifteen hundred points!

This...

Without a moment’s hesitation, Qin Fang shot to his feet.

’I have to get my hands on the remaining two qian of Soul Condensing Crystal Ointment!’

That was a total of about three thousand proficiency points!

’Once I have it, I won’t be far from reaching Great Success!’

Qin Fang sighed with emotion.

’Lanyang City truly lives up to its name...’

’There’s just so much good stuff here!’

’Huichun Hall only has two qian left... but other apothecaries are bound to have more!’

’The key now... is money!’

’Silver Notes!’

His eyes grew bloodshot.

He could see a real hope of stepping into the Divine Domain!

’...After Great Success comes Perfection, which requires ten thousand points.’

’In other words, I need about thirteen thousand more proficiency points right now.’

’Even if the effects diminish over time... ten qian of Soul Condensing Crystal Ointment should be more than enough for me to push for Perfection.’

’And once I reach Perfection... A twenty-year-old genius who breaks through the Divine Gate... would that be enough to claim one of the twelve seats?’

But...

Ten qian...

’That’s thirty-five thousand taels of silver... I only have a little over five thousand left, which is enough to buy one more qian at most...’

Qin Fang’s brow furrowed.

’I’m short on cash.’

His eyes flickered wildly...

’Where can I get the money?’

A shortfall of thirty thousand taels was no small amount.

Qin Fang’s eyes flickered wildly. After a moment, a thought struck him, and he looked down at the Poison Gland in his hand...

’Poison... can be used in medicine, right? This thing is an Extraordinary item, after all... I wonder if... it’s worth some money?’

His mind began to turn, analyzing the pros and cons.

The pros were obvious. If he could sell it, it might bring him a considerable fortune... and he’d brought quite a few Poison Glands with him this time.

The downside was just as obvious... he could easily become a target.

’Still, this is Lanyang City. Security is tight here, so no one should dare to cause trouble, right?’

After some thought, he took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. It was pitch black; he had no idea what time it was.
