<h2 ss="wp-block-heading">Chapter 7097</h2>
Everything unfolded as Charlie had predicted.
The mysterious entity within his body was making a silent deal with him.
After taking ny percent of his spiritual energy,
It disyed new hand seals one by one in the sky.
This time, it still disyed sixteen hand seals,
However, they were moreplex than those of yesterday.
After memorizing all the hand seals, Charlie tried to execute thempletely.
However, what puzzled him was that afterpleting the entire set of hand seals,
His spiritual energy remained unchanged.
Jeremiah and Ria, who were not as fast or skilled as he,
Completed the hand seals more than a minuteter.
Their experience was the same; their spiritual energy remained unchanged.
Maria inquired with concern and,
Upon learning that the new hand seals were ineffective, she fell into deep thought.
Charlie suddenly seemed to be in a daze and said,
“Perhaps today’s sixteen hand seals belong to the same group as yesterday’s sixteen hand seals.”
He then immediately said to Jeremiah and Ria,
“Try to connect yesterday’s hand seals with today’s hand seals and circte them together.”
The two agreed and thus entered meditation,
Circting the obscure Buddhist hand seals one by one.
Charliepleted all thirty-two hand seals first.
Immediately afterward, a stream of spiritual energy flowed into his sea of consciousness from all directions,
At least three or four times stronger than yesterday.
This delighted Charlie.
Yesterday’s sixteen hand seals, today’s thirty-two—although the cycle time for each cirction had doubled,
The spiritual energy had increased by at least three or four times.
This meant that the overall cultivation efficiency of the thirty-two hand seals was more than double that of before.
More than doubling was an absolute huge improvement!
Of course, since the base number was already minuscule,
Even with double the efficiency, the speed of acquiring spiritual energy was still very slow.
However, this gave Charlie great hope.
If there were follow-ups to this set of hand seals, if sixteen more hand seals were addedter,
Or even thirty-six or seventy-two hand seals,
The efficiency might increase tenfold or even dozens of times.
If that were the case, the speed of replenishing spiritual energy would be quite substantial,
And he wouldn’t have to rely entirely on pills to endure it.
He could replenish the spiritual energy in his body in just a few days.
At that time, everything would enter apletely new world.
A momentter, Jeremiah and Ria also opened their eyes.
Compared to yesterday, they were even more excited,
Tears were streaming down their faces.
They both clearly felt the huge increase in efficiency.
This cultivation speed was far higher than the efficiency they had previously achieved when with Victoria, which had taken them a long time.
In the past, they were already grateful to get one small cultivation pill every one or two years,
But with the efficiency of the thirty-two hand seals,
They could get the same amount of spiritual energy in one or two months.
Seeing the undisguised joy on the faces of the three,
Maria knew that Charlie’s experiment had been effective,
And she was also extremely gratified.
Upon learning that the overall efficiency of the thirty-two hand seals had more than doubled,
She was overjoyed and couldn’t help but exim,
“I just observed that the speed at which you,”
“Young Master, Miss Yun, and Miss Song performed the thirty-two hand seals differently.”
“It seems that if one can thoroughly master the hand seals and further improve their speed,”
“Then the efficiency of cultivation will continue to increase.”
Charlie, suddenly reminded by her, excitedly said,
“Miss Lin is right. Buddhist hand seals are obscure and difficult to understand.”
“Even imitating them is not easy.”
“It takes me at least ny seconds to perform one.”
“But everything is subject to aw, which is what the oil seller said…”
“Practice makes perfect,” he said.
“If one truly bes familiar with each hand gesture,”
“Doubling the speed is not impossible.”
He then sighed, “When I was young, my mother taught me to y the piano for a few years.”
“Back then, no matter what instrument one yed, people liked to y a piece called ‘Flight of the Bumblebee’ at their fastest speed.”
“When I was young, it took me at least five or six minutes to y the whole piece, stumbling and fumbling.”
“But top masters canplete the entire performance in under a minute—a difference of seven or eight times.”
“Buddhist hand gestures are like a musical score.”
“The speed at which one ys them depends not only on talent but also on diligence.”
Practice is also very important.”
Maria nodded: “That’s what I think too.”
“Young Master currently expends a lot of spiritual energy every day to exchange for hand seals.”
“To replenish this energy, he has to constantly take precious pills.”
“If this continues, the pills will soon run out.”
“Leading to a depletion of medicinal materials for alchemy.”
“Such extremely precious items as pills should be saved for crucial moments.”
“Not wasted on daily cultivation.”
“If we could replenish spiritual energy through hand seals, that would be perfect.”
Charlie agreed, saying, “That makes sense.”
“However, I n to make another deal with it to see if there are any new…”
“If I have the handprint, how much will it improve my overall cultivation efficiency?”
“If the improvement is still doubled, then investing in some pills is worthwhile.”
“If the improvement speed isn’t that fast, I’ll slow down, go back and cultivate in seclusion before trying again.”
“Otherwise, my pills really won’t be able to hold up.”
Currently, Charlie only has ten Qi-Nourishing Pills left,
And the raw materials for refining Qi-Nourishing Pills are exhausted.
Although Maria instructed Old Zhang to help find them,
Raw materials aren’t something that can be obtained simply with money.
It also depends on opportunity and fate.
Therefore, until the raw material problem is solved, Charlie ns to keep at least five pills for himself to deal with unforeseen circumstances.
Therefore, he only had five pills left to trade with the mysterious entity within his body.
