Chapter 25: Surge in Psychologist Demand
In just a few hours, Yi Chen successfully organized and integrated the things he had understood over the past month.
As the people in the live room had anticipated, he returned to the wooden house and began to study the energy circulation pathways of the skills based on his insights.
Days passed by.
Outside, thick snow drifted down like goose feathers every few days.
Although the snow in the valley had been completely cleared away, stepping outside the valley revealed a world covered in white.
The mountains and land were all blanketed in snow.
Yi Chen remained calm, slowly studying and testing the various changes brought on by infusing spirit power into different acupoints.
In the live room, however, the audience grew increasingly anxious.
Not because Yi Chen was slow in creating the new skill, which was something everyone expected.
Normally, it took him about half a month to comprehend the natural laws and the properties of spirit energy.
Then, another half month would be spent testing a suitable energy circulation pathway, leading to the successful creation of a new skill.
This time, however, he spent a full month understanding the rules and properties of various winds and the movements of birds and beasts.
If nothing unusual happened, it would similarly take about a month to test a suitable energy circulation pathway.
What truly made everyone anxious was that after Yi Chen began testing the new skill’s energy circulation pathways, Guli, the most talented member of the tribe, had already successfully broken through to the first level of Spirit Release.
After that, every couple of days, another tribe member broke through to the first level of Spirit Release as well.
Yet, Yi Chen still had not revealed the improved version of the Chaos Technique.
“It has been over half a month since Guli broke through to the first level of Spirit Release, and Yi Chen shows no intention of revealing the improved version of the Chaos Technique. It’s clear he doesn’t plan to release it.”
“Yi Chen is too selfish. His intention seems to be to let the tribe members reach the first level of Spirit Release, giving them a certain level of power, but stopping there to prevent any threat to his leadership.”
“It really feels hopeless. I wait and hope every day, yet the improved version of the Chaos Technique never arrives. I’m in agony, feeling like I’m about to break down.”
“Yeah! I broke through to the first level of Spirit Release over half a month ago. Without the improved version of the Chaos Technique, my level has stagnated, and I feel lost and trapped in constant nightmares.”
“Feeling lost and having frequent nightmares are actually the better scenarios. As a psychologist, my business has surged during this time. All my patients are experiencing serious psychological issues because they can’t learn the improved version of the Chaos Technique.”
“The cultivation methods created by Yi Chen can actually be addictive. The root of it lies in the fact that every small breakthrough brings a clear enhancement in speed and spirit power.”
“It’s widely known that leveling up in virtual network games and upgrading equipment gives a strong sense of achievement and pleasure, making people addicted to it.”
“The sense of achievement and pleasure from leveling up is a hundred to a thousand times stronger than that from virtual online games.”
“For many people with low psychological endurance, being stuck without the improved version of the Chaos Technique is even more unbearable than death.”
“I’ve encountered colleagues; I’m also a psychologist. Indeed, the surge in this type of patients has been quite noticeable lately.”
“Sigh, with over a thousand skill research institutions, millions of talents from various fields, and hundreds of thousands of top-tier practitioners, how can they not compare to Yi Chen?”
“I’ve heard that the Military has secretly formed a skill research institute, and they too have achieved nothing.”
“There’s no way around it; in the field of cultivation, Yi Chen is truly the only god!”
“To get the improved version of the Chaos Technique, we can only hope that one day Yi Chen feels inspired or shows some mercy and reveals the technique.”
Because they could not learn the improved version of the Chaos Technique, the emotions of all humanity became extremely unstable.
Everyone was filled with anxiety and depression.
Yi Chen’s cultivation method attracted people like a virtual game with a thousand-fold increase in allure.
Without access to the improved version of the Chaos Technique, and with their levels stagnating, the emotions of humanity were severely impacted.
Those with average talent, who had not yet broken through to the first level of Spirit Release, were somewhat better off. They only felt a sense of unease, worrying that once they broke through to Spirit Release, Yi Chen might still not have revealed the improved version of the Chaos Technique.
However, the more talented individuals who had already broken through to the first level of Spirit Release truly felt as though they were living through endless days.
One by one, they appeared dejected, as if they had suffered a tremendous blow.
This phenomenon also reflected in the overall state of society.
Employees were disinterested in their work.
Students lacked focus in their studies.
The stock market fell day after day.
The entire human society was enveloped in a strange sense of gloom.
The root cause lay in the improved version of the Chaos Technique.
Breaking through to the first level of Spirit Release raised the lifespan limit to two hundred and forty years, making all humanity eager to learn the Chaos Technique.
Because of this, everyone became addicted to cultivation and could not break free.
When Yi Chen delayed in revealing the improved version of the Chaos Technique, it caused extremely severe negative effects on human society.
…
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
In the wooden house, Yi Chen, now fully embracing his reclusive lifestyle, finally combined his insights and successfully tested a set of energy circulation pathways for body techniques.
Next came the testing of the effects.
He stretched a bit.
Opening the wooden house door, a gust of cold wind rushed toward him.
Thanks to his outstanding physique, it not only didn’t make him uncomfortable but instead left him feeling invigorated.
Of course, the most important thing was that he finally created the new skill.
He couldn’t help but marvel at how difficult it truly was to create a cultivation technique.
When he was at the Qi Condensation First Stage, it took him about a month to create a new technique.
Now, having broken through to the first level of Spirit Release, theoretically, his strength and perception should have dramatically improved.
He should have found it easier to grasp the natural laws and the properties of spirit energy.
Thus, it should have been simpler to create skills.
In reality, however, with his current level of strength, creating techniques at the Qi Condensation level was very straightforward.
What used to take a month might now only take one or two days.
However, what he needed to create were skills at the Spirit Release level, which greatly raised the requirements in terms of talent.
In the future, as his level increased, creating corresponding levels of skills would require even more time, potentially reaching a limit where his talent was insufficient to create the appropriate techniques.
Fortunately, as he expanded his influence, his talent would also improve.
According to his plan, after this cold winter, the Flame Mountain Tribe would begin to fight and expand its territory.
Taking a deep breath of the cold air to adjust his mindset, Yi Chen sent someone to find Guli.
The hundreds of billions of viewers in the live room instantly became excited.
Did he summon Guli to pass on the improved version of the Chaos Technique?
