Chapter 3: Breathing Technique
After reassuring his mother that he was completely fine, Kong Ming continues to scold him for being such a useless son.
Jiang Ming didn't react to his father's words because he knows his condition more than anyone in this world.
Jiang Ming has cultivated to the peak where no one has managed in the virtual game and this is simply like a restart button in the game.
Resetting the game but knowing what to do is not that bad at all. After all, the technique used in the game could also be applied here since there's profound qi in this world, unlike Earth.
The first step is actually for him to get used to his new body and to learn a new technique, breathing technique.
Breathing technique was always neglected by players online but as one who tried many things, this neglected technique was the most crucial one.
It is a technique to help circulate your qi to be stable and helps calm our nerves in a dire situation.
Not to mention, this is the base in helping the foundation in any kind of martial technique available.
With the breathing technique, you could comprehend a technique faster than anyone would just cultivate from the instruction labeled there.
Jiang Ming became alone when he asked to rest since he was bedridden for a long time.
He sat in a lotus position and following the usual method he did in the virtual game, Jiang Ming started slowing down his breathing.
At the same time, he starts using his profound qi that is in his body before shaking his head for the low amount of qi he has.
To be this useless despite having the rarest physique in this world, a divinity flame body where you can have multiple essence flames and merge them to be one powerful technique in the world.
This divinity flame body is hard to detect and is extremely difficult to cultivate as you'll need lots of essence flame that is born naturally in different environments.
If he was still playing his character in the game, then this divinity physique would be a piece of cake to cultivate since he can just barge into dangerous areas to secure an essence flame.
Using the breathing technique for ten minutes since doing it more would be more harmful than useful, Jiang Ming starts to think about how to get stronger.
He was only in the 3rd stage of the elementary rank where you can't even consider this rank to be a cultivator.
Thinking for a while, Jiang Ming decided to concoct a pill to boost his cultivation and increase his foundation.
It would be crazy if others were to know a 3rd stage elementary rank wants to concoct a pill when he probably doesn't even have the basic knowledge of alchemy.
After all, it takes a lot of time to cultivate and to split this time to learn alchemy, only the top genius can do it and he was known to be trash among trash in his generation.
Although 3rd stage elementary rank may seem fantastic to the branch family, Jiang Ming came from the main house of the family where they have multiple resources to assist them in cultivation.
He has the lowest cultivation base in the main branch where every youth in his age was already in the 5th stage.
His father was the patriarch of the family but because of him, there was gossip everywhere and how he shouldn't even be able to access their precious resources.
Knowing all this, the person who beat him up was someone from another influential family that rivals him.
However, it was only possible because someone in this family of his was plotting his death. After all, he still has the chance to become the successor of the family since his father has most of the elders' support.
It was simply because his father, Kong Ming, had a high cultivation base and earned the favor from the emperor in the Northern Continent.
Jiang Ming can't help but smile at all these undercurrents going on in this family where it seemed calm on the surface.
'Interesting, let's see how I will ruin each and every one of you after I increase my strength.'
Jiang Ming slowly dressed up to head to the alchemist guild since he would need to purchase medical ingredients to concoct a pill.
Sneaking out without alerting his mother, Jiang Ming equips his spatial ring where his mother just gave him his monthly allowance.
"With the memory from the original Jiang Ming, I believed the Alchemist Guild is around the Eastside from here." Jiang Ming mumbled softly as he tried to recall the location.
Once he was outside, Jiang Ming couldn't help but admire this eastern scenario in front of him.
'Although I have seen this many times in the game, it's even better to experience in real life than having some virtual helmet.'
Jiang Ming said inwardly as he started to explore around and check things out before heading to the alchemist guild.
Walking inside the guild, Jiang Ming was instantly pointed out by some youth who started pointing his finger.
"Look who it is, our so-called rapist, Jiang Ming that tried to sully our academy beauty."
"Haha, does he even have any shame after getting thrashed by Senior Lin?"
"Hey, people like Jiang Ming have his face as thick as iron. They don't know how to spell the word shame."
A group of youths tries to humiliate Jiang Ming by mentioning the incident but Jiang Ming didn't care one bit.
He was staring at them all with a smile on his face while remembering each and every one of them.
'When I finish concocting the pill, I will make sure to humiliate and destroy you all.' Jiang Ming sneered inwardly in his mind.
He was a fat and ugly boy in his previous life but in the game, he was never one to cower in fear.
In fact, he will get revenge on every single thing that tries to do him harm. Even if they're a woman, they receive the same fate.
"Oi oi, what are you still doing here? Get the hell out."
"Yea, something as majestic as the alchemist guild is not for some lowly person like you are."
As their chattering continued, it started to attract the people in here to see what's going on.
Jiang Ming couldn't help but laugh aloud at this ridiculous plot. 'Looks like that person doesn't know the true meaning of death.'
Jiang Ming didn't even need to take a second to know these youths were sent by someone else. After all, he was supposed to be in danger while lying in his bed.
Yet somehow, people here recognized him the moment he entered and showed the intelligence his enemy got.
'A traitor in my family that informs the outsider and someone else to order these youths to bad talk me. Interesting, I haven't gotten this treatment ever since I became the number 1 in the game.'
Jiang Ming walks forward a bit before staring at the middle person in the group who is clearly the leader of this play.
"Who are you?" Jiang Ming asked with a deadpan expression. However, there was some murderous aura that surrounded Jiang Ming's body.
The youth starts to step back a little from this intimidating stare and say, "I-I'm Sun Jichen."
"Sun Jichen huh, then let me tell you something," Jiang Ming said before moving closer to his ear to prevent anyone from listening.
"Tell that person who ordered you to do this to watch his back. I'll be coming for him soon."
After saying that, Jiang Ming stepped back and turned his body to walk away whereas Sun Jichen dropped to the ground.
"B-Boss"
The other two youths shouted in panic before trying to get him up. However, they stopped when they felt their shoes stepped on some liquid.
The crowd looked at Sun Jichen with a gawking expression. Sun Jichen had somehow pissed himself from getting intimidated by Jiang Ming.
