Sherlock Holmes is not a warp god.

The spiritual essence of food is intact and stubborn; forcibly breaking it down from the outside will only destroy its spiritual "nourishment".

By synchronizing one's own consciousness with this animal in a strongly correlated state, the chef can then treat the spirit as one of their own.

The only and biggest challenge lies in the erosion of one's own consciousness by animal instincts during this process.

There is a theory that if one person's entire memory were downloaded into another person's body and brain, whose body would it belong to?

The same principle applies here. Choosing animals with simple minds can minimize the influence of their memories on one's own, but instincts are unrelated to memory.

No matter how long consciousness stays inside the food, it will be more or less influenced by the food's instincts.

Those blessed by various deities are already mad, and with this added influence, they will only move closer to the brink of collapse. Therefore, animals processed in this way are the most precious ingredients for the chef; only extremely rare ingredients are worthy of being added.

Instinct-induced contamination?

Fren's teeth gleamed in the moonlight, and his face was full of smiles.

I have cheat codes, why am I afraid of this?

【漏尽】 is best at resisting these influences.

Without hesitation, Furen synchronized his consciousness into the pupa.

With the aid of fleshy tentacles, he can directly take over the larva's five senses.

The next moment, Furen felt an endless void.

It's not darkness, it's nothingness; the two are fundamentally different.

If you cover your eyes, you can't feel any light; that's darkness. But when a normal person keeps one eye open and the other closed, the closed eye experiences visual nothingness.

It was only then that Fren realized that the larvae inside the pupa were a completely different life form from mammals.

The senses—eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body—are all absent; only nothingness remains.

Consciousness is also chaotic, ethereal and elusive.

It has nothing to do with insect instincts; it's simply a feeling that naturally arises from Fren's loss of all five senses. Even complete depletion cannot help Fren.

A profound sense of helplessness welled up within Furen; he didn't even know what he was doing. He couldn't discern which thought was controlling the pupa's writhing movements. In its pupa state, it didn't even need to eat or excrete. If it weren't for the fact that he could still sense the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide with the outside world, Furen might have thought the pupa's body was already dead.

Calming himself, Fren could only follow the instructions in the book, using his consciousness to pull at that stubborn spirit and urge a thought.

Break it open!

break through!

From within, let your spirituality dissolve the stubborn exterior, just as a crab sheds its shell to reveal its tender meat.

What Fren didn't know was that the method recorded in the "Chef's Handbook" unexpectedly conformed to the ritual of "spiritual perception" when applied to larvae.

Break through the stubborn spiritual facade.

Break open the pupa, which symbolizes gestation and confinement.

Break through the physical body that inherently limits the spirit, and let the spirit stretch out and move outside the body.

Furen didn't know how long he spent, but he kept pushing this idea forward, and even got a little bored.

Unless he actively withdrew his consciousness from the pupa, this was the only thing Furen could do. Within the pupa, all five senses were lost, making everything extremely difficult.

During this process, because Furen's tentacles were in every corner of the pupa, the tissues inside the pupa also inherited Furen's self-healing and flesh-manipulation properties.

Under the combined influence of ritual spirituality and these fleshly entities, the pupa, which normally takes a week to fully hatch, is undergoing rapid transformation within its internal mass of flesh.

Limbs, wings, and antennae rapidly develop in the following time; the insect has only one thought within it: to break free of the cocoon.

Several hours had passed when a barely perceptible cracking sound came from Furen's palm.

The main body opens its palm, and a brightly colored hawk moth crawls on it, resting on the pupa that symbolizes the old body. Countless silk threads connect the palm, the pupa, and the hawk moth together.

The wings, which were originally curled up, were quickly filled with bodily fluids and stretched out. They oxidized and hardened in the air. The moment the wings opened, a ghostly face made of patterns appeared on the wings.

The moth tried flapping its wings, then suddenly broke free of all the silk threads and took flight.

The instant the threads, or rather, Furen's fleshy tentacles, severed, the main body opened its eyes, watching the ghost-faced moth fly further and further away in the moonlight.

Not only visually, but also through a completely different sense, one is experiencing the movement of the butterfly.

This sense cannot perceive color, temperature, or smell, but it can clearly detect some details within a range of two or three meters around the body.

Both clarity and distance need improvement.

"This should also be considered a kind of extraordinary creature, right?"

Fren muttered something, but didn't say anything else.

This kind of moth, with its mixed spirituality, only has more active senses, making it better able to perceive changes in climate, seasons, and weather, and has a trace of "spiritual perception," but it is not yet capable of developing true extraordinary abilities.

After all, it was with the help of this moth that Furen was able to awaken his [Mental Perception], so Furen let the moth fly away.

There were still more than three hours until dawn.

In Freyrne's view, he had completely mastered "spiritual perception," but the ritual was not yet fully completed; he had to wait until the sun rose above the horizon.

Furen didn't know what use the dew that caught the first rays of sunlight was, but he decided to respect the ritual anyway. He wasn't in a hurry, so waiting a few hours wouldn't hurt.

Using the appraisal on himself, Furen couldn't wait to open his attribute panel and check his three-dimensional attributes.

Attributes:

[Premium: lv2 (46/100)]

[Qi: lv1 (7/10)]

[God: lv1 (3/10)] ▼

ability:

[Self-Healing: lv4 (1634/10000)]

[Flesh Manipulation: lv3 (363/1000)]

[Mental Perception: lv1 (5/10)]

characteristic:

【Leakage Extinction】: All leakage is completely eliminated, the light of wisdom shines brightly, and all dharmas cannot invade.

-

Sure enough, the [God] attribute also gained 2 experience points.

Having achieved the breakthrough from 0 to 1, the next step is to accumulate experience through persistent effort, focusing on improving Qi and Shen until level 2. At that point, you will feel the transformation of all attributes at level 2.

The ability category now includes a new ability called "Mental Perception".

The simulation of enhanced digestion, muscle enhancement, and sensory enhancement through flesh manipulation is indeed not a real ability; it's all included in flesh manipulation.

Only by mastering the spiritual seal can this ability truly be yours. Presumably, the mark of the spiritual seal won't appear on the control panel.

Frendo glanced at the ▼ next to the [God] attribute; the expand arrow seemed to have moved slightly just now.
