Chapter 115: Life 64, Age 16, Martial Disciple 1
With the Pavilion’s fastest carriage, the trip to the Nine Rivers Sect was only supposed to take a month and a half. I didn’t want to cultivate during that time because it would interfere with plans I had for the near future. Still, there were two things I could do during the trip so that I didn’t waste any time.
The first was studying my Earth-Rank cultivation technique. I had looked at it several times already, and I spent time trying to understand it, but I had never actually cultivated it before, so I was expecting there to be issues. I would have to work those out before I could cultivate it successfully.
As an Earth-Rank technique, it was significantly more complicated than the ones I had used previously. I would need to open a total of 361 acupoints throughout my body. Each of these points required complex qi filters that would both purify the qi and allow it to flow freely into my body without turbulence. For some reason, the technique included four different filter designs which were applied to different acupoints seemingly at random.
I wanted to use this as my cultivation technique in this life, but before I did so, I wanted to understand how it would influence me mentally.
“System, how much to upgrade my technique appraisal to work on everything up to Rank 3 Earth.”
Cost 49,995,000 credits.
Too much for the moment.
“Upgrade it to only Rank 2 Earth, then.”
Confirmed. Cost 495,000 credits. 125,265,655 credits remaining.
