Chapter 14: Seeking Collection
"How is the boundary between our martial arts and that of Dao cultivators divided ? For example, the True Qi realm, what is the realm of Dao cultivators ?"
Wu Ming has long stomached these questions in him, so much that he began to feel sick, and now that he met the somewhat experienced Feng Han, how could he let go ?
Feng Han frowned. "Martial arts and dao technique are completely different. Why do you want realms to correspond ?"
Wu Ming was depressed : "There is no popular ranking ?"
"Of course not !" Feng Han shook him : "The real ranking is strength… Two masters met and killed, and the one who survives is naturally the stronger than the dead one ! Now, for the ones who we considered the strongests in the world, who doesn't have a sea of corpse behind them ?"
Wu Ming nodded : "I understand that true strength is rational use of time, place and people. There is no law, but there is strength and weakness !"
Feng Han nodded but there is some blind spots in this reasoning.
"I'm obsessed…"
He didn't know Wu Ming's heart, but he was smiling bitterly : "Great Zhou is the real world ! Not a game… There is no need for quality ! The system of magical and martial arts doesn't need to be balanced… If you have highly qualified, talented and possess enough capital, you can naturally choose a stronger road, the gap has already been formed from the beginning ! And the gap with ordinary people will only grow wider, not narrower !
"And there's no such thing as a similar realm between different roads. It's only a matter of trying before knowing !"
"So to speak, the 'warrior' path I took is too popular. To catch up with those arrogant sons of heaven, it would take a lot of effort, half the result for twice the effort. Anyway, with the Overgod Palace in hand, should I try to class change ?"
Although Wu Ming's talent was quite poor before, and could only take cultivate the path of martial arts, the Wu Ming of today has Overgod Palace's support. As long as his merits is sufficient, dao techniques, witchcraft and martial arts are all the same. He could try every roads and choose the path that suit him best.
Poor Feng Han, he originally saw Wu Ming as a good piece of material and thought he met a good student.
But he didn't know that Wu Ming was already thinking of jumping off the burning pit that is known as warrior and switching to other, more promising, professions.
I'm afraid that if he had known, he would have smacked him.
_____________
After one morning's practice, Wu Ming's appetite was wide open. In the afternoon, he even ate three bowls of fragrant corn, and chewed half a linseed chicken, a bowl of soft and delicious, fat but not greasy pork and a few vegetarian dishes. After picking a fruit after the meal, Wu Ming went to find Wu Qing.
"The cost of this meal is enough for ordinary people to live for ten days and a half…"
As Wu Ming walked away, but still wondered: "My meal at this time is already two or three times that of an ordinary big man. I can't afford less meat. How could ordinary people afford this ? 'Martial arts, breaking the law and repairing the house', it seems that the cost of these three should increase in turn !"
"I heard Feng Han say that you've already broken though True Qi realm, very good !"
Wu Ming entered Wu Qing's boudoir, sniffing the elegant scent of rosin, which felt slightly wrong.
But Wu Qing didn't feel anything.
At this moment, she only had a pot of clean water and fresh fruits such as pine nuts. It was obvious that the technique was so deep and profound that she tried fasting which made Wu Ming bewildered.
"Since you've reached 5th level of mortal physical body, the "Turtle Breathing Technique" is no longer suitable for you. This is the follow-up of this technique, the "Spirit Turtle Qi Cultivation Merit" ! It is enough to practice until reaching Extreme Transformation. You can see for yourself and if you don't understand, consult Feng Han !"
Wu Qing sighed : "Elder sister has gone out for three days and must go back to the Dao Institute !"
"Spirit Turtle Qi Cultivation Merit ?"
The ancient book opened and it seemed to have a lingering aroma, Wu Ming's heart swayed and curbed itself. He asked : "I think that Feng Han is also a personal talent. Can he be used to do this ?"
"Of course, this person is innocent but he has no foundation ! If you can win him, it's a good thing ! But the Law cannot be passed down lightly, you must keep this in mind !"
Wu Qing nodded indifferently.
Wu Ming's face was solemn, but he knew this world's martial art had nine layers/stages : Stable Heart, Skin and Flesh, Muscles and Bones, Inner Strength, True Qi, Innate, Outer Astral, Inner Astral and Extreme Transformation !
The first four layers is the process of understanding, training the skin, flesh, muscles and bone thus building a foundation.
And True Qi, Innate and Extreme Transformation but True Qi change practice.
A "Turtle Breathing Technique" and a "Spirit Turtle Qi Cultivation Merit" are enough to cultivate the peak of 9th layer ! However Wu Qing spent a lot of money to get it and put in an ordinary little family, it was enough to passed down as a precious heirloom. The ordinary people would be thoroughly immersed and the salted fish could turn over and change its own destiny.
Even though Feng Han's own Qi Cultivation technique has already been established and cannot be changed lightly, it could be passed on to family members and grandchildren. Perhaps it would be an opportunity for family rejuvenation !
Of course, because of this, Wu Ming will not be stupid enough to give it to the other party directly.
It's one heck of reward for the other side but in the other hand, if it's the reward now; how should give in the future ?
"Elder sister, rest assured. I know !"
Wu Ming replied with a smile.
I don't know why, but looking at this brother who know when to advance and retreat, knowing the gains and losses, as if her younger brother matured immediately. Wu Qing's face had a trace of ecstasy, and suddenly took out a black ring with an inconspicuous shape and put it on Wu Ming.
"This is… a Magical Artifact ?!"
Wu Ming's pupils shrank but he was surprised.
He was acquainted with the goods and even though the ring was dark on the outside, the layers of clouds were very regular, and the inner ring had a fine rune.
The most important is after putting this ring, a trace of qi in his dantian started to move, how couldn't he know that it was precious ?"
"This is a Dark Gold Ring (Wujin Ring) that can hurt people in the air. Lin Qi died under this effect the other day, it only need True Qi to activate it. I didn't want to give it to you before but now, there's no problem…"
Wu Qing said like it was nothing special but Wu Ming's heart was very shocked.
A Magical Artifact ! Even if it's only a Low Grade Magical Artifact, the value was incomparable to the previous fire man's finger.
"Sister… you gave me this, then you…"
The magic artifact wasn't a big deal but Wu Ming suspected that Wu Qing only had one of those, this one.
"Rest assured ! No one, at this point in time, in the Dao Institute can embarrass me !"
Wu Qing waved her hand domineeringly and softly said : "You will accept this ! And… I am working recently to admit you into the Dao Institute. The "Spirit Turtle Qi Cultivation Merit" is evolved from the dao techniques which fits naturally and never slack off…"
"Many thanks, elder sister !"
Looking at the resoluteness of Wu Qing's eyes, and knowing that this woman is a woman whose words carries enormous weight. Wu Ming didn't refuse and accepted the ring, secretly remembering this in his heart.
(That is to say that Wu Qing is a woman of her words.)
'Although I'm not Wu Ming, you treat with sincerity, I will keep all this in my heart and will protect you !'
Wu Ming has always been paying attention to the saying 'one person gets the road, the chicken and dogs ascent to heaven' and 'the grace of dripping water, the spring is reported.'
The big secret of Overgod Palace can't be told to Wu Qing but it is bound to grace her.
After all, he took her younger brother's name and enjoyed the benefits in his name, if he didn't repay this favor, he wouldn't have conscience.
Of course, he is still in his weak period and will naturally not be tempted to repay the favor right now.
…
Night.
Wu Ming on the soft coach, sent out the maid servant and with his arms folded and eyes closed, called the Overgod Palace in his heart.
[Ding ! Detected Number BS-69 Reincarnator, Overgod Apostle requires access. Authority passes, permission access !
In an instant, Wu Ming felt like he was connected to a vast and mysterious space that seemed to be everywhere.
If you were an ordinary reincarnator, you could only passively accept the call of the Overgod Palace. How could you access to the Overgod Palace as you like ?
However Wu Ming has his own Authority, he can return anytime and anywhere he like.
"If in the future, the Overgod Palace can cross worlds, that would be my greatest trump card ! Although the world is big, few people would affect me !"
As long as his physical body could put in the Palace, it would the almost perfect refuge…
Unfortunately, at this point of time, the Overgod Palace does not have such a function. When the reincarnator performs a mission, the real world's body is the biggest flaw.
[Ding ! Detected that Reincarnator carries a Low Grade Magical Artifact. Consumes 50 merits points to transport inside ?]
"Fuck ! Even I have pay ?"
Wu Ming was a little depressed and of course, chose no immediately.
Although I want to appraise it but there's an opportunity before the next Reincarnation mission. Merit points are precious and should not be used casually.
When the light flashed, Wu Ming once again came to the white space, paying attention to the Nine Heavens, the magnificent Overgod Palace.
"Now I'm a little depressed. Those Dao cultivators, especially the first-timers, aren't going to cry…"
Although the martial artist instructor Feng Han has prejudice, Wu Ming inquired and with his own experience, that in the Great Zhou world, the Daoist Priest, Law Master, Shaman and other Magic systems all required to be extremely rich !
Of course, it is because for these Magic-related professions, the reliance on foreign objects is very serious, especially in the early stage when the Dao Foundation was created !
At this time, priests and mages are like Confucian scholars who have not achieved success and cannot travel abroad. They read the Scriptures and raise their qi every day. If they want to cast spells, they must use their pitiful mana to rely on amulets and magic instruments !!
And the reincarnator who just enter the Overgod Palace has no merit points…
"This is simply a dead man who doesn't pay for it…"
Wu Ming opened the exchange list and saw the artifact column : "And Magic Artifacts, as well as the exchange price of various instruments is high and the requirements of Major and Heavenly Merits are limited. Is it because the Overgod Palace is a spiritual World so it discourages redeeming physical instruments ?"
Because of the experience of his previous life, Wu Ming made a bold hypothesis which touched the foundation of the palace.
