章節 20: Becoming an Inner Qi Fighter!
"Ninth, I am very proud of your performance today. Do you know why master come personally to the city just now?" Liang Tian questioned Zhang Wu Ji for the reason he was here. Although it wasn't a secret that the nine of them went out from the sect to participates in the auction, it still not something to be concerned with, because the problem with Elder Yang wasn't something that will be dangerous to all of them.
"Master please explain. Forgive Wu Ji for not being able to guess what was in the master's mind." Zhang Wu Ji was a person that hates to guess, thus he gives up and decided to ask instead.
"I was arguing with the Seven elders from the Knowledge Pagoda after I took the new rewrite version of Bone Strengthening Art from you. At first, the seven old farts did not believe my words that this rewrite version is much better than our own, but I forced ten disciples to learn the art and being guided by the eight of us, and each of them immediately entered the 2nd stage of Inner Qi Fighter."
"The new version let me shut the mouth of the seven elders, it was so much fun! How dare they stop me from cultivating my disciples!" Liang Tian was so happy he almost lost his composure as their master. When he realized that he was behaving like a child, he coughed twice, and get back to his usual manner.
"So, the master will owe you two favors for now. Think about it properly, I will not ill-treat you if you need anything. And one more thing..." his master gave him another favor to keep, and after hesitates for a moment, he questioned the youth again.
"Did you personally craft the eight Yi-Jia Swords for your senior brother and sisters?"
"Dear master, the eight swords are indeed Wu Ji's personal effort. Is there... Any problem?" Zhang Wu Ji admits his own creation and handiwork to craft the swords, but at the same time, he will have to wait for his master's recognition, because by personally modified the kind of sword used by members of the Seven Star Sect are a challenging behavior towards the tradition.
Taking their master as an example, he personally crafted his seven swords in different length, size, material, and quality in order to show the world of Ping An Continent that he was one of the prodigies nurtured by the Seven Star Sect. But when he was doing this challenge, he was a cultivator if 59th Stage Inner Qi Elder, which hardly over a hundred of people at that time dared to stops him.
"Good. You continuously giving me surprise each time you came across something. Before the test, you taught all the slave disciples a lesson and become a Torture Demon, after the entrance exam, you caught my eyes to accept you as my ninth disciple, you made the Superior-Quality Xuan Paper, rewrite a newer version of Bone Strengthening Art, crafting eight Yi-Jia Swords, and now, pummel and killed an Inner Qi Warrior before becoming a cultivator yourself."
"I am not surprised that you will come out with something more the longer you stay in our sect, but I want you to remember something!" his master praised him for a moment before his tone turned into a restriction and warning.
"Without a proper strength, one will only meet with danger because of the talent he has shown! Humble is a virtue, secretive is stability. A tree may not stand tall without ten years of effort, and yet a flower cannot resist from withering after they bloom. Do you understand what your master means?" he used a few quotes to deliver the message, but still, it was for the safety of his disciple.
"Wu Ji understand. Without foundation, I will not able to last long in the real world, and yet without a little bit of control, I will end up exposing my worthiness to the enemies that have ill intent on myself. Being humble is good, but it doesn't mean that going on the humbleness way is correct." he interpreted all the quotes his master speaks and managed to get all of them on his point.
"Good. I suppose you know what to do back in the sect." his master ends their conversation and soon, their flying trip ends when they reach the Reflecting Pagoda. All of them returned to their own courtyard, but this trip proved to be fruitful for Zhang Wu Ji.
At the end of the day, he earned the profit of having eight of the Double Xuan Paper sold for 9.7 Million Gold Coins, while the remaining one was exchanged for the Converging Qi Fruit. The Bone Strengthening Art that he refined were also returned to his hand. With sufficient wealth and also materials, it wasn't a problem for him to start cultivates properly.
Previously, when he was done with the Bone Strengthening Art rewriting, he did not even take a moment to check on its status, but now, he realized that how foolish it is to not see what he got before he passes it to others. At the same time, he now has another treasure in his hand as well, the precious commodities, the Converging Qi Fruit.
New Bone Strengthening Art (Phase-less)
-Usage 1: Allow the user to have +4 points in defense
-Usage 2: Strengthen the user with 2 Strands of Inner Qi for every 72 hours.
-Durability: 7/7
-Special: Increase Inner Qi recovery rate by 10 Minutes.
-
Ripe Converging Qi Fruit
-Usage 1: Increase the strand of Inner Qi by 1
-Usage 2: Increase the strand of Inner Qi by 1
-Usage 3: Increase the strand of Inner Qi by 1
-Usage 4: Increase the strand of Inner Qi by 1
-Usage 5: Increase the strand of Inner Qi by 2
-Durability: 15/20
"Damn! The Converging Qi Fruit is actually on its way to rot! But what is with the crazy Usage type with the same effect? No, wait... The 5th usage is increasing the strand of Inner Qi by 2 instead of 1. Should I try to upgrade it?" Zhang Wu Ji attention came to the Converging Qi Fruit first. It seems that the fruit has been harvested from the tree when it was ripe.
"I should try to upgrade the Converging Qi Fruit... Upgrade!" he tried to upgrade the fruit, but there was no reaction. It was a fluke again. Only heart, but nothing happened.
"Am I still too weak? Should I get to Inner Qi Fighter cultivation before I can start to upgrade certain item? Nevermind, I'll leave this damn fruit for a while and cultivates the Bone Strengthening Art instead. I did not imagine that this version of Bone Strengthening Art is so much stronger than before." Zhang Wu Ji was impressed with his own ability to even able to upgrade the words and quality of the cultivation of art.
Carrying the same intention to upgrade the manual, he proceeds. It was a lucky thing that he possesses 60 strands of Inner Qi now, allowing him to spend 50 of them for a +5 results.
New Bone Strengthening Art +5 (Shao Yin Phase)
-Usage 1: Allow the user to have +6 points in defense
-Usage 2: Strengthen the user with 3 Strands of Inner Qi for every 72 hours.
-Durability: 12/12
-Special 1: Increase Inner Qi recovery rate by 1 hour.
-Special 2: Increase Body recovery rate by 1 hour.
It was an unexpected result because when the manual was upgraded, their effect was upgraded to 3 strands of Qi is created for every three days, and it increases his recovery rate in fatigue and exhaustion of Inner Qi by 1 hour. This means his upgrading rate has increased by at least 25% faster.
"With myself just got my increment yesterday, It was a good thing I got this manual back from my master. Altogether, I will have 5 strands on Inner Qi increased every three days. With this speed, I will be able to enter the 1st Stage of Inner Qi Fighter in another twelve days, which will be the end of two months as a disciple of Seven Star Sect."
"That should be fine. I can spend the time to upgrade another Cultivation Art instead. I should begin with the Golden Body Manual and also Inner Reversal Manual for this twelve days, if thing proceeds in a positive way, I will happen to have three better cultivation art for myself to use." he decides to remain low profile after hearing the advice from his master.
With a new target once again, Zhang Wu Ji did not behave wildly like previous but spend most of his time cultivating inside of his room. Meanwhile, for the twelve days of behaving himself within the sect, Zhang Wu Ji did make an appearance to the farm where the Kind Heart Grass is undergoing their second maturity.
It was important because the plot of land with the less nutrient in it will become normal after two more sessions of maturity, then he will be able to harvest one more kind of different plants whenever he needs. While at the same time, he did not neglect his work in rewriting the Inner Reversal Manual and Golden Body Manual.
The two manual possess 45 pages each, end up as 90 pages in total. With his increase of speed in recovery and also higher amount of Inner Qi he possesses now, the rewriting works end up very quickly, and he managed to get both of them done in the last day just before his Inner Qi increased by 5 strands again.
He did not dare to change the manual in the middle of the three days because of worries that the effect will end up restarted once again. When his total day in the sect finally clocked at 2 full months, his total strands of Inner Qi finally reaches 100, allowing him to enter the enlightenment to went through the process to become a qualified 1st Stage Inner Qi Fighter!
Although the enlightenment wasn't a big deal at all, it was still a crucial process for one to thread pass before becoming a qualified cultivator!
Seated on his comfortable bed, Zhang Wu Ji's mind entered the void, with a hundred strands of Inner Qi revolving around him as he flies across the void to a destination he does not know. Each strand of the Inner Qi is wriggling like a worm as they followed him. The wriggling becomes more intense as he continues his journey, and soon, each strand combined themselves from 100 to 50, 50 to 25, 25 into 5, and five into one single wriggling strand of Inner Qi.
"This... How can this happen?" Zhang Wu Ji touches the strand of Inner Qi that just transformed from the combination of a hundred, and a status appeared right in front of his sight.
Strands of True Qi
-Description: when one finally succeed to become a cultivator, the True meaning of Inner Qi Branching Tier starts. Each time a hundred strands of Qi were gathered and condensed into a strand of True Qi, one of the hundred points in the Branching Tier will be lit. Only when a hundred points are lit will the cultivator obtained the qualification to enter a higher tier of Cultivation.
-Current Evaluation: 1 Point
"It was actually True Qi, I bet not many people actually know about this. If that's the case, will it have any disruption for me when I am using stronger abilities during a fight?" Zhang Wu Ji has just entered this realm of cultivation and already been given with such a deep meaning because of the existence of his Upgrade System.
It wasn't bad for a person to know more, but it is destructive if a person without sufficient understanding to know too much. At the end of the day, he might end up stagnate at a place because of the inability to further his understanding, or he will end up entering the wrong path because of a wrong understanding.
Thus, he decides to not delved too deep into this matter, before he was to read and obtained more information and knowledge related to this realm of cultivation.
His flight in the void soon overs when the darkness suddenly turned into brightness, it was a blinding sight to him, as he closed his eyes and awake in his room once more. Before his sight, the existence of the dust-like energy in the atmosphere was clearly visible, and some were even busy scattering themselves like a flower spreading their pollens.
"Is this how the Natural Energy in this world multiply themselves?" Zhang Wu Ji was surprised by how each of the single entity energy was moving in the air, finding for a partner and mixed together to scatter their seeds further. This process took one minute to complete, and from each combination of a Yin Energy and a Yang Energy, they can scatter into over a hundred thousand of the newer energy, and then, the process continues once more.
It didn't take too long for Zhang Wu Ji to noticed that the energy was actually intangible as if they belonged to a different dimension that will not be disturbed even if he wished to do so. The wave of his hand went through an unaccountable amount of the energy, but they weren't disturbed at the least.
He was still busy researching and concluding his hypothesis and then, a suction energy came from a room not far away, furiously absorbing the energy in the atmosphere.
"What happened?" Zhang Wu Ji followed the suction energy that was so obvious in his eyes and soon reached the doorstep before Tang Yuan's room.
"The energy was absorbed by us during cultivation? But I did not utilize them at all, instead the Upgrade Ability allows me to thoroughly converts them into a strand of Inner Qi every three days." what happened just helps him make a conclusion at what he has seen. Next, he was considering about will it do good if he inquires his seniors regarding this matter.
But if it wasn't turn out well, then instead of happy of him entering the 1st Stage of Inner Qi, they might think that their junior was a freak instead.
Keeping such an experience around him as a secret, for now, he took a walk to the farm without notifying Tang Yuan. He wished to put some spare time to rest before he continued with his cultivation once more. Since the rewrite of a newer version of the Inner Reversal Manual and Golden Body Manual is complete, he can begin his cultivation at a higher speed.
The walk to the farm was calm, as it was at night at this moment. Crickets were singing from all over the places, but it did not annoy Zhang Wu Ji at all, instead it turned into a lullaby that calms his worried mind. At that moment, it gave him a new understanding in one matter.
"Everything is a treasure, as long they were capable to contributes to a human's life. So what if the item weren't as capable as something else when they were compared? A medicine is to either save or kill people, it was the same to a weapon, armor, instrument, and even cultivation manual."
"As long it was to be used for good, it was a good thing. If it were used for bad, then it was a bad thing!" Zhang Wu Ji understands the fact that he should have known in his previous life, but only managed to thoroughly enlighten himself from tonight's walk.
Placing his finger on each of the leaf sprouting from the Seedlings, he inspects each of their quality before he concludes that Tang Yuan's effort is going on the right track. The guidance he gave to him previously is useful, where after two months of effort, the plant is getting on their right track, growing healthily and perfectly in a well-prepared condition.
When he returned to the room once more, he took the two rewritten manual out for an inspection, and were satisfied with their new results, especially after he upgraded them into +5. Putting this upgrade aside, he completely forgot that he was an Inner Qi Fighter now.
Reverse Yang Art +5 (Tai Yang Phase)
-Usage 1: strengthen user with 7 strands of Inner Qi for every 72 hours of practice
-Durability: 7/7
-Special: allowed the user to have 25% stronger resistance against fire
-
Golden Armor Art +5 (Shao Yang Phase)
-Usage 1: allow the user to use the Grand Golden Wheel (55) and Grand Golden Piercer (80)
-Usage 2: strengthen user with 5 strands of Inner Qi for every 72 hours of practice
-Durability: 7/7
-Special: increase the luck of user in finding treasure by 0.1%
"Both of them were amazingly good! If I actually have them before this, it won't take me too long to achieve the 1st Stage of Inner Qi Fighter!" Zhang Wu Ji calculates the possibility brought by this three revised manual in his hand. Given the ability he possesses, it won't be a dream at all to become stronger than his master if he was given enough time.
The current increment was 15 strands of Inner Qi every three days, if he progresses according to this calculation, it won't take him too long to become an Inner Qi Warrior. After the calculation, he will only need 180 days, which means only half a year is all he needs to become an Inner Qi Warrior.
"Good! The dream to become an Inner Qi Warrior is not too far away! And when I become stronger, it will not be impossible for me to obtain stronger cultivation art that will allow me to thread even further in life!" his dream suddenly turned into a wider scope, it was no longer just to live better, but to excel and progress even further.
And during this three days, he completely spends them by taking a good rest before he awaits the increase if 15 strands of Inner Qi. But what happened next, shook him to his core.
"Why didn't my Strands of Inner Qi increased by 15???" he calculates the total amount of the strands of Inner Qi in his body, and they have still remained as one strand of True Qi.
