Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

In his mind, this magic was the only thing that could be related to the spiritual realm.

However, Lin Yu also unexpectedly saw several martial arts manuals.

"These were collected at Miss Honghong's request. However, there aren't many such secret manuals in the city. We have already arranged for people to go to human territory to collect them."

The maidservant introduced the situation in a low voice.

"Please thank Honghong for me. Thank you for your help."

He was quite touched by Tu Shan Honghong's thoughtfulness.

After putting away the cultivation techniques, Lin Yu took out the blueprints he had drawn and asked her to prepare a distillation apparatus, as well as some medicinal herbs and monster meat.

Compared to the chefs of Tushan, he was far superior to them in both medical skills and culinary arts.

If you want to cook medicinal cuisine, it's best to do it yourself.

"Oh, by the way, please invite Miss Honghong and the others over for dinner tonight. I'll prepare it."

The maid nodded in agreement and turned to leave.

With time to spare, Lin Yu carefully examined the Fox Mind Technique in his hand.

The art of fox spirits is the application of mental power. In the past, it was just a minor spell used by fox spirits to tease humans, and it was the type that was easy to learn but difficult to master.

It can confuse the enemy, control people's actions, and even affect their mental state.

It can be used by most fox spirits, but in the original story, only Tu Shan Rongrong truly unleashed its power.

In this area of ​​expertise, even Tu Shan Honghong and Tu Shan Yaya cannot compare.

The content of the Fox Mind Technique was not long, and Lin Yu finished reading it in a short while, but he began to ponder it in his heart.

Compared to demons or cultivators who practice this kind of technique, he, as a martial artist, is still quite far behind in this regard.

To put it bluntly, the threshold for cultivation is quite high.

At this stage, the martial artist prioritizes the physical body over the spirit.

Cultivators, on the other hand, are quite the opposite.

This is why, even though they are both at the same level of Great Demon King, Wang Quanba and others are full of things like sword intent.

Lin Yu's expressiveness seems to be slightly lacking.

In terms of mental strength, martial artists are indeed somewhat weaker.

'However, I don't intend to cultivate the Fox Spirit Technique; I only need to learn its methods for condensing the spirit, and then create a cultivation method suitable for myself.'

While writing and drawing with pen and paper, Lin Yu was also thinking seriously.

'But even with my current level of spiritual power, condensing it wouldn't be easy, and it's completely incomparable to something like a fox demon. That's a problem.'

Glancing at his progress in the Perfect Martial Arts, he had only just broken through to level six. It was not something that could be done in a short time to further refine his martial arts will through improvement.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu wrote down a few words on the paper.

Meditation, contemplation, visualization.

Regardless of whether they were useful or not, Lin Yu listed all the things he remembered from his previous life that might be useful.

Meditation was the first thing he ruled out; he had no clue about it and didn't have much of an impression of it.

He knew some of the Taoists in this world, but they were mostly cultivators, unlike the ones in his previous life.

Lin Yu's main impression of meditation was still the cultivation method from Western magic books in his previous life, but he was completely clueless about how to do it.

Although he had read many novels he liked, this process was usually only mentioned briefly, with few people describing it in detail, so there was no way he could learn it.

'Could it be that he's trying to cultivate his cosmos like the Saint Seiya characters?'

Lin Yu silently complained in his heart, then focused his gaze on the visualization method.

Visualization, like meditation, is a product that Lin Yu had read about in novels.

However, it has a slight advantage because, due to its different nature, many works have described cultivation methods.

And it's also very simple.

You only need to think of a picture in your mind, and then gradually enrich the details of that picture through long-term training until the picture can exist in your mind for a long time.

That's roughly the process.

Compared to other methods, this is probably the most suitable one for me right now.

After careful recollection, I found a description of this technique in the novel.

Lin Yu began to try it out in his mind.

First, you need to visualize in your mind a human figure made entirely of crystal.

In its initial stages, this crystal human figure must have been filled with impurities inside. It requires further visualization to gradually remove these impurities until it is completely clear, transparent, and flawless.

It sounds very simple, and there's nothing too complicated about it.

You can just imagine it in your mind.

But after actually trying it out, Lin Yu deeply realized just how incredibly powerful the protagonists in those novels truly were.

Putting everything else aside, just constructing a completely clear crystal human figure in one's mind is no easy task.

Moreover, one cannot be distracted in the slightest during this process.

Otherwise, if you get distracted, the content you come up with again will be different from the original.

Moreover, the most troublesome thing is the impurities in the crystal.

This visualization process is a meticulous process that requires patience and cannot afford the slightest mistake.

You can't possibly remove the impurities from this part today, and then fill it back in tomorrow when you're confused.

Lin Yu spent the entire afternoon in the courtyard, working on his projects behind closed doors. In the end, he collapsed silently onto a recliner, staring at the sunset with a look of utter despair and disbelief.

"No, don't those guys consider that this is something a human could do when they're writing novels?"

Lin Yu looked at the newly appeared Crystal Visualization Technique LV.0 (0.09/100) on his system panel and couldn't help but complain.

He did nothing all afternoon; all his attention was focused on building the most basic introductory doll.

Even so, he still didn't achieve anything and didn't even get started.

0.09!

Looking at this number, Lin Yu felt a sense of frustration, wanting to curse but not knowing where to begin.

When I first read the novel, I didn't realize that the protagonist could become a master with just a little practice.

For him, it was as difficult as climbing to the sky.

At least he has a system that can provide some assistance; otherwise, he really doubts whether he would have to spend decades in this area.

"Never mind, it's getting late, let's make dinner first."

Shaking his somewhat muddled head, Lin Yu got up and began to prepare.

In the afternoon, the maid had already prepared the distillation equipment according to Lin Yu's instructions, along with some medicinal herbs and monster meat.

Lin Yu then opened the wine gourd he had snatched from Tu Shan Ya Ya and smelled it.

A faint, pleasant fragrance wafted over.

Even Lin Yu couldn't help but exclaim that it was good wine.

Compared to the wine they drank in human territory, the wine in Tu Shan Ya Ya's gourd is clearly much better.

It smells like fruit wine, with a sweet aroma and a relatively low alcohol content.

Lin Yu poured some out and then started a fire to distill it.

Then, after selecting some ingredients, I found a maid and asked her to lead me to the kitchen.

We're hosting a dinner party tonight, so naturally, it can't be solved with just one or two dishes.

Otherwise, just have a maid bring a small stove.

Upon arriving in the kitchen, Lin Yu declined the maid's offer to help and picked up a cleaver to begin cooking.

[You are currently using your culinary skills. Cooking skill +4!]

[You are using your brewing skill. Brewing +2!]

[You are currently using your culinary skills. Cooking skill +4!]

[You are using your brewing skill. Brewing +2!]

With the help of LV.4 culinary skills, the air in the kitchen was soon filled with various tempting sounds.

After working for more than an hour, Lin Yu used the ingredients at hand to make about ten dishes.

He hadn't cooked for so long that even he was starting to crave it.

"almost."

After finishing everything, Lin Yu glanced at the sky, which had already become dark.

"Send these dishes to me, and then let Honghong and the others know they can come over for dinner."

The maid pursed her lips and swallowed.
