Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Assembly Cultivators On My Method To The Metropolis

The Riverside village, although distant, was not positioned on the finish of the world. In truth, there was a metropolis not too removed from it, requiring round two days of journey. This metropolis had gained a fame as a preferred gathering place for cultivators.

Whereas the town was sparsely populated by mortals, it attracted cultivators from numerous backgrounds. Nonetheless, it was unusual to come across cultivators of serious energy. A cultivator on the Basis Institution stage was as uncommon as a phoenix feather.

Such rumors reached my ears, however I yearned to verify them personally. Earlier than embarking on my journey, I sought counsel from Dai Guiren, who assured me that he would safeguard the secrecy of my cultivation and take care of my farm and beloved companion, Massive F.

Dai Guiren himself was full of trepidation. It was no secret that immortals sometimes vented their anger on mortals, a observe that usually drew the ire of different cultivators.

After guaranteeing all the things was alright with my farm and getting my arms on a map, all due to Mayor Dai Guiren, I left my farm. The town I aimed for was referred to as East Raven.

It was a medium-sized metropolis, and judging by the rumors I had heard, a standard place for cultivators to fulfill. My objective in going there was to amass an alchemy cultivation method to begin refining capsules sooner or later.

Nonetheless, there was an issue. The one items I needed to commerce have been the books I discovered contained in the cultivator lair beneath my properly! I had learn a number of and determined to make use of one which didn’t have any strategies written in it. It was a scroll speaking concerning the period the cultivator lived in.

Possibly a historian hooked on such artifacts could be keen to commerce with me? That was what I hoped for, or else I’d be doomed.

Then my journey began, one which led me alongside a straight highway towards the town, the place I encountered a number of mortals and even some bandits.

“Please, spare me!” the bandit begged for his life after I beat him as much as a pulp.

The journey took two days, requiring me to camp for one evening. It wasn’t protected to stray too removed from the principle highway, as that space belonged to the beasts, nor was it sensible to camp too near the highway, for it was a searching floor for bandits.

So I ventured into the forest, ultimately discovering the right spot: a secluded clearing surrounded by bushes and bushes, naturally concealing it. A river flowed close by, its water crystal clear, providing each refreshment and a chilled sound. I arrange my campfire for the evening, feeling a way of peace wash over me.

The meals I introduced with me inside my backpack was sufficient to final all the journey—not the way in which again, although.

So, I didn’t should waste time discovering one thing to eat and will merely loosen up close to the campfire, having fun with the fruits I had introduced alongside. For a quick second, I contemplated fishing within the close by river, however my essential intention was to observe my meditation method!

With managed breaths, I centered on gathering Qi from the ambiance and directed it in direction of my two Dantians. The Qi coming into my ‘actual’ Dantian remained unattributed to any factor, whereas the Qi flowing in direction of my second Dantian, the one obtained from Massive T, would rework into a toxic Qi!

That is how I spent the evening, and that meditative state served as an alternative choice to sleep. I solely woke up when the solar’s rays caressed my face.

I continued my journey within the morning, following the identical highway as the day before today. For the primary time, I encountered different cultivators, not simply mortals and bandits!

How did I do know? I might sense it from afar!

There was a carriage, and judging by its path, it was headed to the identical metropolis as me. I had no intention of stopping close to the carriage to ask for a experience.

Nonetheless, as I handed beside it, somebody opened a small window and stared at me. It was a frail-looking boy who gave the impression to be round 10 years outdated.

“Grandpa, there’s somebody outdoors! Can we assist him? He appears drained!”

The carriage got here to a halt, and the door to enter opened. Inside have been the boy and an aged man. The older man had lengthy, grey hair and beard, however his face appeared remarkably youthful, with few wrinkles.

What caught my consideration much more was his sturdy physique and sharp gaze! The second he checked out me, it felt as if all my secrets and techniques had been laid naked, leaving me uncovered and weak.

“Is that this a Basis Institution cultivator? Or maybe a Golden Core? No, that may be an excessive amount of, would not it?” I questioned.

Earlier than the aged man might say something, I bowed to him and mentioned, “Junior greets Elder.”

I had no thought who that aged man was. What if he was an eccentric cultivator who would kill me simply because I did not handle him as “Elder”? I did not wish to threat my life in such a silly method.

He smiled and nodded, saying, “No want for formalities, younger man. Could I inquire about your vacation spot?”

“I am headed to East Raven. I am trying to commerce some items there.”

“Oh? My grandson and I are additionally touring in that path.”

Because the aged man talked about his grandson, I observed the boy who had referred to as him “grandpa.” I could not sense any Qi emanating from the boy’s physique, so I requested, “Is he additionally a cultivator?”

It appeared just like the aged man had been ready for that query. He replied, “Sure! Regardless of being solely ten years outdated, my grandson has already reached the fifth layer of Qi Condensation!”

“W-What?” nove.lb)In

That revelation hit me like a truck! I had been so assured in my System and newfound talents that I had forgotten concerning the unimaginable skills scattered all through these cultivation worlds. The boy standing earlier than me might doubtlessly be the principle character of some extraordinary story.

“Anyway, include us! Touring with a cultivator like me can deliver you sure advantages when coming into the town,” the aged man supplied.

I wasn’t certain if I might belief him, however I did not have a lot selection. Leaving wasn’t an possibility.
