Chapter 374: Chapter 181: Contribution
...He’d been the talk of the town for the past two days.
Especially after the two lineages clashed and he was promoted to a Hall Master’s True Inheritance today...
’...It’s probably going to be even more of a circus tomorrow... And I’ve reached entry-level with my Root Skill now, too.’
Qin Fang sighed helplessly.
’...Having too much Talent seems to be a real hassle...’
’Forget it. I can’t keep a low profile anymore, so let them talk. They can gossip for a day or two... but can they gossip for a year or two?’
Everything has its moment in the spotlight.
Once the hype dies down, things will go back to normal.
Qin Fang shook his head and made his way toward Guiyuan Valley.
...
Back home, he saw that it was nearly the Zi Hour. Qin Fang simply sat cross-legged on the floor, faced north, and began his daily cultivation.
Before he began, he took out a True Essence Pill.
’I wonder how effective this True Essence Pill is...’
he thought, swallowing it in one gulp before closing his eyes.
Shortly after the True Essence Pill entered his stomach, a vast and pure surge of True Essence erupted from his abdomen and merged into his own.
Qin Fang performed the Contemplation of the Profound Nether Realm-Breaking Awl. Though his Heart Realm was as placid as a still lake, his eyes still brightened slightly...
’...This is even better than I imagined!’
’...Definitely worthy of an Extraordinary medicine that costs over two hundred contribution points!’
He took a moment to reflect on what he’d observed.
Although Inner Sect Disciples were all at the Huajin level, they did not possess the effect of an ’Eternal Dao Fruit’. Therefore, if they failed to break through to the next realm for a long time and didn’t cultivate diligently, it was possible for their Qi Blood, condition, and other attributes to decline significantly.
That was why the Pill Pavilion also sold Qi Blood Pills.
These were used to help Huajin Martial Artists maintain their Qi Blood at a full and peak state, so they could attempt to break through to the next realm whenever inspiration struck.
And the price of a Qi Blood Pill...
One contribution point... for a whole bottle!
And a bottle contained ten pills!
Based on Qin Fang’s experience, the cheapest Qi Blood Pill he had ever taken cost ten taels of silver.
In other words, one contribution point was roughly equivalent to one hundred taels of silver in the mortal world.
Of course...
the actual value was far greater.
Gold and silver were useless Within the Sect.
There was no way to exchange them even if you wanted to.
Time flew by during his seated cultivation.
Fully immersed in his practice, Qin Fang felt as if he were in a trance until a scorching heat in his True Essence pulled him out of his meditative state.
He opened his eyes to find that the sky was already bright.
’Another night has passed without me even realizing it!’
He closed his eyes to perceive the True Essence within his body and immediately noticed a change...
His True Essence was a fraction more condensed and vigorous than it had been yesterday.
The Profound Water Nature within it had also grown noticeably denser.
He hurriedly looked at his panel...
’Profound Nether True Water Scripture (True Essence Root Technique) Entry-Level: 39/1000’
Qin Fang’s eyes lit up...
’Not bad at all!’
’It actually increased by 32 points?’
’At this rate, to reach Minor Achievement, wouldn’t I only need... about 31 pills?’
’A pity this is only the First Layer... Even after breaking through to Minor Achievement, I’ll still be in the First Realm. At most, I’ll have truly stepped into the True Species Realm... I’m still a long way from Perfection.’
Doing some more math...
Qin Fang’s teeth began to ache.
Entry-level to Minor Achievement was one thousand proficiency points, Minor Achievement to Great Success was five thousand, and Great Success to Perfection was ten thousand...
If this ratio held constant,
and even if the effect of the True Essence Pills didn’t diminish,
he would need a total of five hundred True Essence Pills to reach Perfection!
Furthermore, because his cultivation was restricted to the Zi Hour—the only time he could absorb Ultimate Yin Primordial Power—it meant he could only take one True Essence Pill per day.
This meant that if he wanted to break through to the True Essence Second Realm...
...it would take him nearly two years!
Two years...
Qin Fang sighed softly. That was far too long.
His entire Martial Cultivation journey up to this point had only been two years...
...Of course, he had no idea that if anyone else knew his cultivation speed, they would probably jump out of their skin!
How many old-timers in the Inner Sect had been cultivating for ten or even twenty years and were still stuck in the True Essence First Realm?
Besides, Qin Fang didn’t face any bottlenecks; as long as he reached Perfection, he would naturally succeed in Breaking Through.
As for the others...
The Divine Gate alone had held back a vast number of Inner Sect Disciples for many years...
’I’ll just have to go back to Old Ox Back later and see if there’s a way to speed things up...’
Qin Fang put the matter of his Root Skill aside for now.
He stood up.
As expected, after a whole night, the ’Infinite Star Armor’ he wore was still as clean as new and fit him perfectly.
He left his courtyard.
’Senior Sister said there’s a small bamboo grove to the east... I’ll go check it out and see if I can find a suitable, quiet place to practice...’
Next, of course, he needed to start practicing his Body Technique Leaf Skill.
Qin Fang preferred tranquility and wanted to find a place for quiet cultivation.
After crossing a small stream, he soon arrived at the little bamboo grove his Senior Sister had mentioned. He walked in to take a look...
The bamboo grove wasn’t large, but the scenery was indeed captivating.
But as he arrived, Qin Fang paused slightly... because at the far end of the grove, he saw several meditation cushions. Seated on them were a few disciples in Inner Sect Disciple’s Robes, all meditating and regulating their breathing.
’...Right, I was overthinking it. This is a famously scenic spot in Guiyuan Valley; of course other disciples would come here often.’
Given Qin Fang’s current status, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to order these Inner Sect Disciples to leave...
but Qin Fang didn’t have that kind of domineering personality.
Most of the time, he was quite amicable.
"Senior Brother Qin?"
"Senior Brother Qin!"
Just as he was shaking his head and preparing to leave, several cries of surprise came from behind him.
He turned to see a few Inner Sect Disciples staring at him with shining eyes.
Judging from their excited expressions...
’...I’m afraid what happened at the Tempering Martial Hall yesterday has already spread, just as I thought.’
’It’s even possible there were disciples from the Guiyuan Lineage in the hall at the time.’
Qin Fang really didn’t want to waste any more energy on these matters, so he simply gave them a gentle nod and turned to leave before they could say anything more.
’...Forget it. This sect is full of vast mountain ranges. I’m sure I can find a quiet place to cultivate.’
’I’ll just keep looking.’
he thought.
