Like other martial arts, the visualization diagram is also divided into four stages: beginner, minor success, major success, and perfection.

An ordinary visualization technique will increase the strength of one's soul by a certain amount when cultivated to the levels of beginner, minor, and advanced stages.

In total, this is equivalent to opening three spiritual apertures.

Upon reaching perfection, the spiritual strength of the two cups will increase.

In other words, a typical visualization can increase the spiritual strength of five cups of spirit, which is roughly equivalent to opening five spiritual apertures.

As for the visualization diagrams plundered from Li Cang, Hu Hui, and Zhao Linjing, they are even more valuable and rare visualization diagrams.

At the beginner, minor, and major stages, the soul strength will increase by two cups each, and at the perfect stage, it will increase by four cups.

Once a rare visualization technique is perfected, the increased spiritual strength is equivalent to opening five spiritual apertures plus one life aperture.

Such a powerful increase means that the difficulty of its cultivation is not low.

Even someone as strong as Li Cang, who was already at the mid-stage of the seventh rank and had tempered two of his five internal organs, had only mastered the Wolf Howl Visualization Diagram to the basic level.

Even Hu Hui, who focused on cultivating her soul, only mastered the Fox Immortal Visualization Diagram after breaking through to the seventh level.

This shows just how difficult it is!

Therefore, for many seventh-level martial artists, unless there is no further progress to be made, few people will spend time on visualization diagrams.

Of course, no matter how difficult things are for others, it has nothing to do with Mu Yang.

Thinking about it, Mu Yang looked at the three visualization diagrams in his hand.

The "Wolf Howl Contemplation Diagram" is said to be a martial arts technique, but it is actually a painting made of a material that resembles silk but is not quite silk.

The image above is painted with special ink, depicting a gray wolf howling at the moon with its head held high.

The wolf's fur was distinct, and its eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty glint. Just looking at it made one feel a chilling killing intent rushing towards them.

[Equipable Item: Wolf Howl Visualization Diagram (Rare)]

[Rank: Seven]

【Equipment Effect: ① Wolf Howl Landscape (Blue): After mastering it and imprinting it on your soul, it increases your soul strength by 10 cups. When using soul-related techniques or attacks, it will have a wolf howl effect, interfering with the opponent's soul.】

[Permanent fixation conditions: Equip this item for three years, or slay any monster of rank 7 or higher during the period you equip this item.]

..................

As a rare visualization diagram, the "Wolf Howl Visualization Diagram" not only increases the spiritual strength of the Ten Cups, but also adds an extra wolf howl intimidation effect to spiritual attacks.

Not only "Wolf Howl Visualization Diagram", but the other two visualization diagrams are the same.

[Equipable Item: Fox Spirit Visualization Diagram (Rare)]

【Equipment Effect: ① Fox Fairy Landscape (Blue): After cultivating it to perfection and imprinting it on your soul, it increases your soul strength by 10 cups. When using soul-related techniques related to illusions, the effects are greatly enhanced.】

..................

The materials used in "Fox Fairy Contemplation Painting" and "Wolf Howl Contemplation Painting" are similar.

It depicts an elegant woman with snow-white skin, a graceful figure, alluring eyes, and a faint pink mist swirling around her.

The only unusual thing about it was that behind its back, which was half-hidden by the mist, grew nine broad, fluffy, snow-white fox tails.

As for the "Elegy Contemplation Picture", it depicts a person wearing a long white robe, with long hair covering their face and reaching their waist, making it impossible to tell whether they are male or female, holding a long zither against a gray-black background.

Even though it's just a painting, it exudes a sense of sorrow and grief.

[Equipable Item: Lament Contemplation Diagram (Rare)]

【Equipment Effect: ① Elegy Landscape (Blue): After mastering it and imprinting it on the soul, it increases the soul strength by 10 cups. When using soul-related techniques involving sound waves, the effect is greatly enhanced, and it can be accompanied by an elegy, causing the target's fighting spirit to plummet.】

..................

"Attack, illusion, sound waves—the types are quite comprehensive."

After glancing at the entries for the three visualization diagrams, Mu Yang put them into his sleeve pocket.

For ordinary martial artists, visualization diagrams are a rare means to enhance the strength of their spiritual soul.

But for Mu Yang, this was merely icing on the cake.

After all, the blue-quality, powerful divine soul provided by the sixth-tier demon alone is enough to enhance the divine soul strength of Shi Beizhan, comparable to a rare visualization diagram.

As for the purple-quality "Strengthening Divine Soul" attribute, it can increase the power by thirty cups.

Therefore, Mu Yang was not in a hurry to equip the visualization diagram.

The most urgent task is to open the soul aperture and then break through to the seventh level.

Once he reaches the seventh rank, his true qi will transform into true qi, and his strength will experience a qualitative leap.

..................

After being expelled from Fengyun Sect, Mu Yang and Yuan Yin rode their precious horses towards Anling Prefecture.

As for Tang Hao and the others, they stayed behind to deal with the follow-up problems.

"Mu Yang, what are your plans after you go back?"

On the way, Yuan Yin asked.

Mu Yang's plan was naturally to accept missions, find monsters, kill monsters, solidify equipment, and repeat this process.

But since Yuan Yin has spoken, he must have something to say.

So Mu Yang asked, "I haven't decided yet. Does Lord Yuan have any suggestions?"

"I wouldn't call it a suggestion."

Yuan Yin waved his hand and said, "It's just that I suddenly had an idea."

"I saw you use a self-created martial art with wings on your back before. Judging from its speed, it is probably no slower than a typical flying seventh-tier demon. So, I just happened to think of a demon."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yang's eyes lit up, and he immediately perked up.

Yuan Yin was already used to this and continued slowly, "Our Anling Prefecture's evil-suppressing generals, apart from my senior brother who is stationed in the prefectural city, are basically all in the wilderness."

"I'm sure you know the reason."

Mu Yang nodded.

Like the Demon Suppressor, the Demon Suppressor General, apart from being stationed in the prefectural city and overseeing the entire prefecture, spends most of his time in the wild, keeping a close watch on the seventh-tier demon forces.

Apart from a few demons who broke through to the seventh rank with mortal blood through sheer luck, most seventh-rank demon kings are powerful rare bloodline demons.

Some of these demon kings even require two generals to guard them.

This is why, even though Gu Changkong needed someone to monitor Fengyun Sect, he hesitated to take action until Yuan Yin arrived and issued the task.

There is a serious shortage of manpower.

Similarly, the five generals who quelled evil spirits in Liangzhou were mostly in the wilderness, monitoring the demon forces that had an eighth-level demon lord in charge.

Otherwise, how could the two top-ranking constables of the Six Doors dare to stir up trouble in Liangzhou?

"Among them, the Suspended Sea Peak guarded by General Chu Zheng has a flying seventh-order demon," Yuan Yin continued.

"That monster is called the Seawing Gull. Although it is a mortal monster, it is both sea- and sky-dwelling. It usually hides in the seabed, but when it comes out, it soars through the sky."

"Even if General Chu has the cultivation level of the late stage of the seventh rank, he can do nothing about it. He can only follow it closely when it goes out to sea to prevent it from causing great destruction."

"As the old saying goes, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days. If this continues, it will not only exhaust General Chu, but also make the people around Xuanhai Peak suffer."

At this point, Yuan Yin couldn't help but sigh.

The reason he was able to patiently hone his skills was for a brighter future.

He knew that having one more seventh or eighth-level martial artist in Liangzhou wouldn't significantly change the situation.

But if there were one more ninth-level martial artist, everything would be different.

Of course, it's too early to talk about these things now.

However, since Mu Yang wants to kill demons and can also strengthen himself by fighting demons, he is willing to help Mu Yang filter the information.

This will also make life a little better for the people of Liangzhou.

As for whether Mu Yang will agree?

Judging from his eagerness, it would be hard for him to refuse.
