Once Yang Wei arrived at the registration center to receive his outer disciple clothes, he was surprised that he could get one spirit stone as a monthly salary.
For others, one spirit stone may not seem much but for Yang Wei, this money is way more than he earned in the last six years.
One spirit stone is equivalent to 3 gold or 300 silvers in total. Based on how precious a spirit stone is because you’ll need high cultivation to inject their true qi into the stone.
The spirit stone is not just a currency but a cultivation resource where you can absorb the true qi inside the stone to increase your cultivation speed.
Overall, spirit stone is extremely precious and for a poor man like Yang Wei, this is simply a dream. A dream that he would never imagine has become true.
Meng Yan was speechless by the blissful expression on Yang Wei’s face. It was simply a single spirit stone that wasn’t even enough to buy a single outfit from her.
Meng Yan is a princess of the kingdom that governs everyone so wealth is nothing to her. She views a single spirit stone-like dirt because she can get a lot more with just a single word.
This is the difference between one born with a silver spoon while the other is born with a broken spoon.
Yang Wei quietly bows to the elder in charge of the registration as he stuffs the spirit stone in his pocket tightly.
“Where are you going now, Yang Wei?” Meng Yan asked, seeing how Yang Wei just leaves without speaking to her.
“I’m going to train on this cultivation technique because it will take time for me to comprehend it.” Yang Wei replies slowly without turning around.
Meng Yan was speechless in her mind as she has never met this kind of person in her life before. She was always prideful and arrogant.
This was her first time approaching a male and thinking that he would give her the cold shoulders. Meng Yan kicked a rock nearby on the floor before going the opposite way in anger.
‘Just you wait Yang Wei. I would make you fall deeply in love with me and then dump you hard.’ Meng Yan imagined the scenario of Yang Wei begging her to not leave him.
A smile appeared on her face as she continued to daydream about something which will most likely not happen.
Yang Wei has completely forgotten about her after giving his thanks for guiding him. He was excited and emotional to practice this movement technique.
Finding his room number that the elder has told him, he walked outside in an open area. Slowly, Yang Wei took out the martial technique and started reading the first step.
“Movement technique, a technique used to increase the efficiency of a cultivator speed and be able to avoid possible danger in a reflex moment.”
Yang Wei mumbled slowly at the introduction of what this martial technique for and sure enough, it’s related to increasing one cultivator speed as indicated in the name.
Understanding the basics, Yang Wei continues reading on its practical use but is surprised that the technique only explains how to utilize this technique but zero usage in combatting.
‘I guess this movement technique only shows how to activate it and the usage is dependent on the cultivator himself. So it basically means that I’m the one who has to think up how to use this movement to my own advantage.’ Yang Wei guessed in his mind at the gist of what this technique is for.
As he read more, he saw the method to activate it and it was simply injecting true qi to his leg and thinking about the movement.
To activate it was simple but anything that looks simple is always the hardest to master. Yang Wei will never believe a martial technique can be easy to learn even if it seems so on the surface.
When Yang Wei tried to inject true qi into his leg, he finally found out the difficult part. It was the proportion needed for the true qi in both their legs.
Also, they need to have a high amount of true qi to have their leg move as fast as the wind. The simple method was just a decoy to hide the true intention of the technique.
Yang Wei smiled since it only proves his decision was correct. Trying to split his minimum true qi slowly to get used to injecting it in his leg, sweat starts tickling down.
This method requires precise control and for a 1st stage Qi Condensation, the difficulty is even harder as Yang Wei does not have a full understanding of his true qi.
Yang Wei being able to cultivate past his mortal form was already extremely lucky due to his constant workout from all those odd jobs.
The 5 days journey was the final push for him to fully step into this realm because he was only a half-step before.
The stormy night could be counted as a blessing from heaven to reward his dedication and action over the past years.
“Haa~ I finally manage to maintain the true qi in my leg for about 10 minutes after all this hard work.” Yang Wei said as he started clamping both his legs with his hand.
Yang Wei’s clothes are now full of sweat due to the amount of concentration of utilizing his true qi. However, he still has a bright smile because this training has consolidated his realm.
It was shaky and rough but continuous using his true qi to the limit allowed Yang Wei to understand the realm and utilization of true qi.
Looking at the ground where it’s drenched in his sweat, Yang Wei slowly goes back to his room to take a shower.
It was time for him to fix his appearance after arriving here. Once he enters his room, Yang Wei starts cutting off his hair that is overextended.
*Clip* *Clip*
The hair slowly drops to the ground and when most of them are gone, what appears is a pretty handsome-looking face. A complete change from his previous beggar appearance.
Probably no one would know who he is now. If Yang Wei walks out of his room right now. People may even mistake him for an intruder until they see his token of identification.
Yang Wei never cares about his appearance though because being handsome doesn’t mean anything if you have no strength.
“Sigh, such a handsome face like this on Earth would attract many females and possibly become a movie star. Alas, this world doesn’t care about one’s appearance but strength.”
Yang Wei said as he looked in the mirror of his facial expression.
In this world, many females prefer strong men even if their appearance is ugly is multiple.
Being impregnated by a strong man would give every woman a chance to give birth to a strong prodigy.
One talented prodigy that can become a cultivator is enough to change anyone’s life with ease.
‘This world is too realistic and materialistic. Even females can become predators toward males here.’
Yang Wei got goosebumps when he remembered the time a female started advancing toward a male in the forest while he was chopping up woods.
His body start to shivered when he remembered the next scene so he quickly shook his thought process and went to the wooden tub.
Making a steamy bath in a wooden tub, Yang Wei starts bathing in to clean his body. Being able to relax after a long time, Yang Wei was blissful to know his hard work has paid off.
