《Martial Spirit》 Chapter 1 Chen Long I decided to create new Novel , a Xianxia/Wuxia novel . However it won''t be the typical novel ! ... Well it is gonna be one , so expect dumb and arrogant male enemys inc. ! __________________________________________________________________________________________ *SLAP* A middle aged woman slapped her own kid while cursing : "Here are 5 coppers , now go away !" Soon the womand followed a crowd of middle aged woman to spoil a young boy who smiled . "Tian''er , do you want to eat candy ?" asked a middle aged woman with a sweet voice . "Tian''er , do you want to go play at the garden ?" asked another middle aged woman with a gentle tone . "Aunties , why do you like me so much ?" questioned the boy with an innocent smile . "Hahaha , naturally because you are too handsome ." flattered a middle aged woman causing the group to break into laughter . Like a fool the young boy smiled and laughed as well , not noticing the other kids looking at the boy with hate . But what can they do ? They were only the 5th or even 6th son , without any talent . Rubbing his red cheek the slapped boy picked the dropped 5 coins up and walked away . He as well is only the 6th son of the woman who slapped him . To be precise he is Chen Long , the son of the woman who slapped him and one of the elders of the Chen clan . However he is not an ordinary kid . He is a youth from the planed called earth who reincarnated into this world . At first he believed that nothing would change in this world , but as he figured out that he is born in a cultivtion world where humans beings cultivated into gods he felt as if the heavens wanted to grant him a wish . After all he read countless cultivation novels back at earth . Not only that , feeling the warm of a mother caring about his felt quite good . So would he be the one enjoying a smooth ride from useless to god ? No ! After being taken to the awakening ceremony at the age of 6 everything changed . He isn''t the genius with two or even three martial spirits . He is only an ordinary kid with no bloodline heritage . Thus he got dropped by the clan , he wasn''t the only one though . 7 out of 10 would be dropped by their parents . At first he felt shocked , how can they drop their children ? Well give him shelter , some food and when is ready to be thrown out then kick him out . The second option is working for the Chen family which is a pretty good thing since the family members get high positions . So , what is his power ? At least the gods didn''t forsaken him . What he got is an AI . Yeah that is right , an AI which only belonged to him ! Not only that , he even got an appraisal skill ! Yeah ! Time to rise up ! But it seems that high hopes are deemed be destroyed . The AI could not help him getting stronger , neither could it help him to get a theory on how the cultivation works . It isn''t as broken as described in the novels . Not only that , in the end the only function Chen Long could seem to use are the calender function , clock function and the ability story information and to sort call them up whenever he wants . Putting his hopes on the appraisal skill Chen Long hoped for the mighty identify-everthing skill . Muhahahah ! Every hidden treasure shall belong to him . However as he walked along the market stalls the only thing he could see were the names of the thing . If he didn''t knew what that thing is then the appraisal skill won''t work . Using it on Persons ? [ Uncle Mu ] [ ???? ] "I''m the neighbour Meili !" grinned a girl at the age of 4 . [ Meili ] In the end Chen Long accepted the fact that he is pretty much one of the side side side side side side side characters . One of the random people who look withed shocked eyes at the things the protagonist do . No , probably not the people with names . More like a guy in the crowd . After picking the 5 copper coins Chen Long dashed out of the Chen mansion towards the market . Even with the fact of him being without a martial spirit it doesn''t mean that he couldn''t get one . So first of all what are spirit martials ? It seems that these spirits are the so called power with which the people in this world fight . Though they not only fight with their spirits . In his 8-year old life in this world Chen Long gathered informations about this world . First of all there is a power called Qi . With that you power your spirit whether it is a weapon , beast or anything else . Or you can use the qi to activate heaven shaking martial arts which are mostly hoarded by the sects or familys . There are different types of martial spirits , not the difference of weapon or beast . It is the difference in being inherit or chosen spirit . Inherit Spirits are spirits born from the bloodline , for example a certain family may get the inherit spirit of a boar spirit . Thus the members of that family are likely to get boars as their first spirit . The future spirits are chosen by the people , for example you are using sword martial arts ? Get a treasure sword as your next spirit !The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. However there are people like Chen Long , or better to say the majority of Person are like Chen Long who have no inherit spirit . Thus they only can chose an object or beast as their first spirit . For rich people without a bloodline it is certainly heaven . Just spending a few thousands gold coins can get a strong spirit for their children . However a bloodline is certainly more practical than spending money . After all one can buy suiting martial skills , perfect the training etc. . Not only that , a bloodline is the only chance of having a double or even triple spirit in the beginning . These are the true talents . Back to Chen Long . Even if the Chen family is quite rich , they have to feed the members , spend money for their shops , buy bribing gifts for stronger forces etc. . So the weak members don''t get anything . At first Chen Long cursed the system , isn''t it more logical to give the weaker member a strong starting spirit ? After all a single pill less could give thousands of members a good steel sword . However as Mike heard that single man slaughtered the nearby Wa Family he shuddered . It seems that a single person is more worth than a thousand people . In the end he only could annoy his mother so much so he will give him some pocked money to buy sweets . He did that every single week . After all doing it everyday would cause suspicion , however weekly would be quite normal . For what reason did he get slapped weekly ? Naturally for the 5 coppers ! He did that for a little more than 2 years . To say it precisely since the disappointment at his awakening . Walking along the market stalls he appraised every single trash looking item . At first he believed that appraisal would have an ability to level up . However the only thing appraisal did was to cause him feel dizzy . At first he could only do appraisal one or two times , however now he could appraise items for 20 times before having to recover . "Hm... there has to be a treasure somewhere !" exclaimed Mike as he did his weekly market round . He couldn''t believe why these protagonists would have such dog sh*t luck everytime they appear in a random market ! [ Rusted Dagger ] [ Fragment of a Vase ] [ Old wooden Chest with Mud in it ] [ Glas full of Dirt ] Sighing Chen Long arrived in front of his favorit stall . Here is the place he visited the most , it is his appraisal-recovery station . "Chen Long you are here again ?" smiled an uncle . (AN: i am not describing the persons since i hope that everyone can imagine an uncle :) ) Naturally the uncle didn''t smiled without a reason , Chen Long is his long term guest . Even though Chen Long is saving up for a treasure he knows that enjoying his free time is important as well . "Yeah , usual please !" replied Chen Long in a childish tone . Even though he is weaker member of the Chen Family , he is still a member . Thus each kid has to do martial training . The nurtured kids are doing the training as well , though it is only a part of their training . However the training is everyday , so the only free time Chen Long has is one day . "Here , two servings of sweet dumplings ." smiled the uncle . (AN: Dammit T-T , today i watched a scene between itachi and his love on youtube . It is the dumpling scene . Argh ... why did itachi killed her ©c(¨R§¥¨Q)¥Î ) While eating the sweet dumplings Mike looked at the surrounding . A jar with a flame awakened his interest . "Uncle , what is this ?" asked Chen Long while touching the glas jar with an interested look . "Oh this . It''s a Qi Lantern , send Qi into it and a flame will appear in it . I have some lantern in different shapes , do you want one ? It only cost you 10 coppers ." answered the uncle while taking a box out . Rummaging around the box he could see that the lanterns are shaped in different forms . Horses , swords , even a butterfly . Suddenly he gulped , however he still answered in a childish voice : "I will take this okay ?" Taking out a can shaped lantern he paid 12 copper . 10 for the lantern and 2 for the dumplings . "Why don''t you take a sword shaped ?" asked the uncle . "Hmpf , i don''t have to tell you !" laughed Chen Long while dashing out of the shop . Since he is only a little child the uncle just shook his head while putting the box away . However Chen Long looked at the glass can with hopeful eyes . [ ??? ] Even with the description of the uncle the ? didn''t disappeared . That mean that it wasn''t a Qi Lantern . Holding it high up to see what''s in it Chen Long could feel how the disappointment appeared in his eyes . There is nothing ! Depressed Chen Long slowly walked back . It wasn''t his first time to be scammed . His first time was when he bought an unknown clam for 50 coppers . In the end it was only a clam of a difference species . The second time was when he bought a rusted sword piece for 20 coppers which in the end was only the rust of a fence . The third time he still hoped for a miracle , he bought a hairpin for 20 coppers . He bought it because like previous times there was a ??? in its description . However it deemed to be a cursed hairpin and he had to pay 300 coppers for medicine . Now he paid 10 coppers for a Qi-Lantern leaving him with 50 copper coins . (AN: a little more than 2 years equals about 110 weeks * 5 copper coins ~ 550 , 550 - 75*2 dumplings = 400 , 400-350 = 50 ) Slowly walking along the streets he watched the people doing their business . A child getting scolded for being to mean to the siblings , an old man selling plants , a female trying to lure in guest for their tavern .... Watching the sunset Chen Long felt a longing , a longing for his old life . At least the family in his past life wouldn''t just ignore him if he hit bottom . Still holding the glass can he gaped . There is something on the jars glass wall . Walking into the shadows he could see a small source of light , however he wasn''t sure if this light is the reflection of the sunset . Trying to block the light of the sunset Chen Long looked again at the Jar and indeed a little light source appeared to be glued onto the wall of the jar . Walking into the Chen mansion without anyone caring about him he returned to his room . Hopping onto his bed he waited till night arrived , naturally he brushed his teeths and washed his face before he went to bed . Taking out the glass Can he looked onto it again , darkness surrounded him . A single spark shone on his face . "Woah .... " with a surprised gaze Chen Look stared at the spark . Feeding the lamp a little bith with his Qi he stared at the flame which appeared . An eye sized flame appeared . Feeling the heat of the Can , Chen Long dropped it onto the ground . [ ??? ] "Ouch !" yelled Chen Long in a low tone while deciding that this flame shall be his first martial spirit . It seemed to be a special flame . Besides if he wait any longer then he might regret it . Sitting in the lotus postion in front of the Can Chen Long meditated for a while . Gathering his Qi onto his palms he shattered the glass in one hit . The Flame rushed out , only to be caught by the hands of Chen Long . Surrounding it with layers of his own Qi caused Chen Long to sweat . Slowly guiding it to his Dantian he could feel how the Flame disappeared . *Pant* *Pant* *Pant* Sweat poured out of his body as he could feel how he created a connection with the flame . A warm feeling rose up from his body . So comfortable ~ ~ breath in ~ breath out .... Standing up Chen Long stripped his clothes ! What the heck , why is it so hot now ? Running circles he could feel the cool wind vaporating his sweat . However it is only a temporary solution . In the end he could only search for a pond . Holding his clothes he searched for a pond , to be specific a pond with no fish in it . "Dammit !" cursed Chen Long while running past a pond . Finally finding a pond he jumped in . *Splash * Ziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiih His body caused the water turn into steam . Feeling the cool water Chen long finally relaxed his whole body . After a while he shaked his whole body like a dog causing the water drops flying through the air . However ignoring the fact that he stood naked near the edge of a pond he tested out his martial spirit . Using his indexfinger he created a flame the size of a candle . Grinning like an idiot Chen Long looked at the flame . No wonder , that in fact was the first time he did something magical in this world . In his training he would only train his body and meditate . Qi may sound magical at first , however it''s only invisible fuel which couldn''t be used to do anything . Imagine something like Hanter x Hanter Nan . Well not that it wasn''t impossible , however the amount he possess with 1th Qi stage is extremely pitiful . With a "HAAA" sound Chen Long vaporated the water on his body . (AN: Martial spirit are like your limps , as soon as you get them you can control them . Though you ain''t master them , there are rare scenarios where Spirits can''t be controlled immediately .) Feeling the exhaustion Chen Long rushed back to his room , of course dressed . Jumping onto his bed Chen Long went to sleep as soon as he closed his eyes . Mumbling he said to himself : "Now i got one , i need to synergize the second or even third with a flame ." Chapter 2 Use of Appraisal HA ! HA ! HA ! *Pant* *Pant* In the courtyard of the Chen Family the children started to work out . Some runned around , some lifted weights , other meditated or shadow battled . In the corner Chen Long meditated in order to increase his Qi level with no success . Meditating in order to absork Qi from the surrounding ? It may sound easy for modern people , however Chen Long experienced the utter truth . Each speck of Qi has to submit under your control before you are able to absorb it , each time you have to battle the small specks for victory and defeteat . Not only that , if you lose you gain nothing and it drains you from your energy . It wouldn''t be as bad if one could concentrate on weaker Qi specks however each speck of Qi is on a different power level while looking the same as every other speck ! It may sound useless to try to gather more Qi since he haven''t an inborn martial spirit , however it is still possible to invoke mighty martial arts so it is possible to even beat inborn spirits . Besides it is possible to "feed" a spirit , though the inborn can do the same . So to prevent the talents from being too lazy most familys force their talents by pressuring them with people who can replace them . Though it won''t happen often there are always cases in which a not inborn family member shows high Qi potential . Thus the family only have to buy or get a strong object/beast and thus a genius may be born . However Chen Long has nothing of those , none inborn spirit neither Qi talent . Slowly trying to absorb the surrounding Qi Chen Long breathed in and out . Ignoring the sudden uproar caused by the arriving inborn talents Chen Long tried to absorb as much Qi as possible , maybe he will one day be able to pick up the technique to choose the weaker Qi specks for himself . Why is it so important to choose the weaker Qi Specks ? Because every Qi Speck got about the same amount and the amount of each Qi speck would only increase in special places . Since he meditated in a corner no inborn talent got offended by his "rudeness" and the supervisors are pleased with hard working students , thus the supervisors/teachers always want that nobodys is annoying hard working students even though they have no chance of becoming strong . However today is a special day , it is the day after Chen Long got his first martial spirit . At first he wanted to brag about it , after all he felt quite happy about fire being his martial spirit . But as he heard the dialogue of the inborn talent he felt as if he stepped on Poop , how can they reach 4th or even 5th stage of Qi Stage with only being at the same age of him ? Some of the older ones even reached 6th stage . Sighing he only could refrain from telling them that he got a martial spirit since one couldn''t even fuel his martial spirit with the little amount of Qi he has . Trying to feel the Qi Specks he picked the next best out , sending his mental power to battle against the Speck . Like in an arena both of the Fighter , Chen Long and Qi Speck stood in front of each other . Abruptly Chen Long charged and tried to wrestle his opponent onto the ground , without success : a single move of the Qi Speck redirected his attack into the void . Like a ice cube the speck slipped through the mental grabs of Chen Long . Depressed Mike could only feel how the Specks floated around . Mhm ... maybe he can appraise the power levels of the Specks ? Trying to appraise the Specks he could see a window appearing : [Qi] Feeling wronged he turned to another Speck . [Qi] Sighing he could only give up . However he felt something unusual , each time he used appraisal on the surrounding specks he couldn''t feel how his Qi got drained , instead it is something else . Trying to find out what this "fuel" is he used appraisal again , only to feel some power other than Qi . "Is this mental power ? After all in those wuxia novels there are always two types of energy ." thought Chen Long while trying to control the mental energy which outed to be quit easy . Playing around with it a while he felt an excited feeling soaring through his body , so useful ! He could look at his own body with it , he could even "look" at his surrounding . Though the radius he could "watch" with his currently amount didn''t even reached 1mm . "Let me hope that his mental power thing is something rare and useful . Normally the Mc would get the second type of power while cultivating it with the main power . However since i am pretty bad with Qi i hope that at leas i would have a decent mental power talent ." thought Chen Long while trying to increase his Mental power capacity . How he can do this ? He spammed Appraisal on everything he could . Though he stopped if he felt that his head started to hurt . You think that he is pretty much the lazy bum only to discover the mental energy with 8 years ? Well , try to use 10k+ appraisal while you always get an pannel which describes things you see . It ain''t that easy like in novels where you only have to use appraisal 10+ times till it levels up to godlevel . Soon months passed , Chen Longs 9. birthday soon passed away withou any great ceremonys . His Mother cared about his younger silblings , a girl at the age of 5 and a younger brother at the age of 3 . Even though he has elder silblings the bond between them is quite cold , after all he didn''t even talked to them after it appeared that he has no inborn martial spirit . Meditating in the corner like alway he spread his mental energy out which already reached 1meter . He thought over a year how he could increase the input of Qi , after all he couldn''t identify which Qi would obdiently be sucked into his body and which not .Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. So he tried to use the mental energy to increase his surface with the mental energy , after all if he couldn''t pull them in then why don''t wait till they come to you ? So he imagined something like a fishing net , thus if he walked around he would collect the specks of Qi immediately . However he failed , he couldn''t collect much Qi with his "Fishing Net" . After that failure he tried many experiments on the question : What is Qi ? He could feel the specks of Qi as solid mass , however he couldn''t touch them . Thus he tried many things on it , like if it is some kind of small particles floatin the air or if it''s some kind of liquid in condensated form . Everything failed , it wasn''t until half a year later he found his solution . After a year Chen Long felt pressure , he didn''t advanced much , still at the peak of the 1th Qi Stage . The problem is that all of his peers are at least at the 2th Qi stage and if he doesn''t advance soon there may be a chance to be a disgrace for the Chen family . So he stopped his experiments on Qi completely , he couldn''t even find the use of mental energy except observing his surrounding . After a few weeks of hard work he finally reached 2th Qi stage , he could feel how his Qi Capacity tripled . Before reaching the age of 10 Chen Long finally found the solution to his problem , out of boredom he played around with the so called Mental energy , changing it into different forms like a sword , a ball , a staff etc. . However as he formed a bag he could feel how something got stuck in it as he commanded it around . Astonished he closed his mental around it to form it into a mental-ball prison . Collecting the Mental Energy he felt the mass of Qi stored in the so called Prison . After digisting the Amount of Qi Chen Long gulped , even as a modern person he would always expect that there are no shortcuts . However he soon felt that it is logical , after all he could reached 3th or even 4th stage if he worked hard and didn''t went for his experiments on Qi . But as soon as he achieved a result , the wasted cultivation time can be replaced in a shorter time frame . Not only that , if he cultivated with this mental-prison method wouldn''t he become extremely strong after a while ? It''s just like scientist , they waste their time thinking over something . However once some results can be seen then their work will be easier than before . Look at Stone words and metal swords , even though both of the are swords metal sword is birthed from people who tried to discover something thus creating a sharper , harder and overall better sword than before . Feeling excited Chen Long couldn''t but repeat his mental-prison method . With ease he brough through the 3th Qi stage . Causing his Qi Capacity to increasone 9x the previous stage . At first he believed that everyone would face this bottleneck sh*t from those light novel he read , however as soon as he cultivated he realized that there exist no bottleneck . The only problem is the fact on how to gather Qi , it may be easy to say : Just collect them ! However doing it is quite hard , they wiggle like slimy fish . Using something like cultivation Manual ? Well he never heard of anything like that in this world . But Chen Long didn''t want to be arrogant , after all there may be cultivation manuals out there in the world as well as bottlenecks . Though the Qi stage , also the first stage is quite simple . Gather the Qi in body and with each Qi Stage your maximum capacity will increase . Stretching his body he wiped his sweat away , it seems like the breakthroughts don''t remove all of the impurities of his body . Maybe later on or they don''t exist at all . Nobody cared about him in the past few years , he only trained , ate and slept . After he got his first martial spirit , the flame , he stopped going out and focussed in his experiments . "Hey Chen Long , do you wanna go out and play ?" asked another boy seeing that Chen Long finished his training . "Sure ." replied Chen Long in a friendly voice . The boy asking him is Chen Zheng , 11 years old at the 4th Qi stage . (Mc is almost 10 years old) Naturally Chen Zhen only asked Chen Long because he wanted to gather some followers . Naturally Chen Long couldn''t deny the invitation , or else he would be scorned by his so called parents . It seemed that Chen Zhen started a little bit late gathering followers since his group only consisted out of 3 members , Chen Long , Chen Zhu a young fatty and his younger sister Chen Mei . Although Chen Zhu only walked with Chen Zhen because he has a crush on his younger sister . "Hahah , so where do you want to play today ?" asked Chen Zhen in a happy voice . Chen Long didn''t replied , while rolling his eyes : it''s always the same are since your father didn''t gave you more money . "Okay , lets go to the little sea restaurant eating a meal before we play near the sea shore ." said Chen Zhen without even waiting for anyone to reply . Arriving in front of the sea restaurant Chen Mei smiled a while causing little fatty Chen Zhu to look at her with a happy expression . Walking in Chen Long yelled : "Usual please ." Sitting in the table corner Chen Long waited for the dish to arrive . To say the truth , Chen Zhen fawned upon Chen Long because he is one of the last remaining people to be without a boss . Thus he invited Chen Long for a while to the sea restaurant wishing to get a good impression on Chen Long before asking him to follow him . It wasn''t Chen Zhen idear to invite Chen Long to the restaurant , it was the idear of his father since he sighed on the bad abilitys of his son . However today something different happened . Chen Zhen walked out since somebody called him out . Ignoring it Chen Long ordered another portion of rice and roasted meat . After all this sea restaurant owner is one of the Chen familys members , Chen Zhen isn''t even any special kid so why beat him up or do anything bad to him ? Seeing how the fatty Chen Zhu ate two portions of his Chen Long smiled , dumb but happy . He envied the fact that people could enjoy the moment without worrying about the future . As a modern people the future couldn''t be ignored and thus people always thought about the future . Just as he wanted to order another portion of food the waiter suddenly appeared : "Young Master , the bill already is over 2 silver coins . Can you afford it ?" With a surprised gaze he looked at the Waiter : "Chen Zhen said he would pay , didn''t he only walked out to talk to somebody ?" "No , please pay for it ." said the waiter before whispering something to Chen Long . Frowning Chen Long asked : "Really ?" Nodding the waiter stretched his hands gesturing he shall pay . Giving his entire savings Chen Long felt quite bad . He couldn''t even pay everything , however the waiter said he would direct the rest of the cost to the father of Chen Zhen . Clenching his fists Chen looked at the innocent fatty and the younger sister who looked at him with frightened expression . Even though both of them are younger than Chen Long , both of them felt the aura of anger in the surrounding of Chen Long . Chen Long wanted to punch Chen Mei in order to get revenge for this act of paying , after all fighting is not prohibited and even supported . Even between males and females , after all a male shouldn''t take a weak woman as their wife . She should at least be able to control the male a little or the male would do bad things like flirting with other womans or even impregnate them . However he glared at the fatty for while before walking away . Even though it seemed to be only payment , however for a member to recruit this move is a lethal one . How should he a poor person get a few silvers ? After all Chen Zhen received ressources from his parents . After this move Chen Zhen could forget to recruit Chen Long without a proper excuse and payment . Feeling the anger boiling in his heart he decided that only a fight would help him to recover . However he controlled the anger before walking back to the Chen mansion while meditating on the training field . The following week Chen Zhen didn''t appeared to recruit Chen Long , the week after that he didn''t appeared as well . However he received some news , that one of the elder brothers of Chen Zhen gave him some followers who are at the 6th Qi stage as well as at the 7th Qi Stage . Laughing inwardly Chen Long judged Chen Zhen as a guy not to be trusted . Concentranting on his mental-prison ball absorption he soon reached 4th Qi stage without any problems . Testing his powers by using his martial spirit he summoned a fireball on his palms while judging the energy consumption . Not bad , he could at least shoot 50 Fire balls . Living comfortable in his room , training with his mental-ball-Qi-prison and eating the daily meals of the canteen 2 months passed in the blink of an eye . He reached the peak of 4th Qi stage . Though he experimented a little bit with the mental energy , appearently if he uses more mental energy to appraise a thing then more information would appear . Using his entire mental energy he tried to find out what his martial spirit is : [ Low Mortal Flame ] Following the train of though he deemed the flame to be upgradeable . Smiling he found the use of appraisal , though he tried something with the AI he owned , nothing special happened . With no choice Chen Long could only use it as a clock . However he already got a plan on how to use the AI , as a huge library . Chapter 3 The Day Everything Changed Soon the days passed , Chen Long reached the age of an adult : 15 years . Nothing special happened , Chen Long gathered enough Qi to reach the peak of 5th Qi Stage . Since he was quite bad at cultivating and probably had no future waiting for him , the Chen family ordered him to help the business branch . Nobody cared about him these years , he stopped annoying his mother for 5 copper and earned his own money by helping the family business . Since he voluntary joined the family business he gathered a lot of "face" for his parents which made them quite proud boasting about that its all the kids ability while the other flattered them about being good parents . Chen Zhen , the one who tried recruting Chen Long prior to him getting some lackeys from his brother got beaten up by his father cause he tried to rape a women . Now he has to work for the family which in the end was only supervising some shops in which he could live in comfort . So the life of Chen Long isn''t filled with power , neither its a life filled with adventure , friendship or hot beautys . Instead he lived the life of a shadow . He tried to use his Low Mortal Flame for amazing abilitys , however he could only create a flame with his body . He couldn''t shoot it . Though the good thing is that he isn''t harmed by the flame he created , so a backleash is impossible . However he witnessed a member of the Chen family being the shining star . Dual spirit , Fire and water serpent . Not only that , it seems that he deemed the inherited martial spirit as weaker than they are . Even the most weakest inherited martial spirit user would have a giant advantage over any other same talented cultivator . Why ? Because it seemed like that they would get the inherited spirit as well have the choice of choosing a spirit upon their own choice ! However Chen Long couldn''t cry about the unfair treatment of this world . After all doesn''t it exist in every world ? Not only that , the genius reached 10th Qi stage . Only a single stage lower than the family patriarch ! His name is Chen Tian . Recently Chen Long wondered whether he should run away from home and choose the life of a mercenary . Maybe he would get a lucky chance and thus rise to the top of the world . Or at least be a strong force to be feared . However just as he wanted to get into contact with other Chen family members who choose to leave the family an event happened which got the entire family extremely excited . Chen Tian got accepted as a disciple of the 9 Union . To say it short , its an alliance of 9 sects . Each of them ruling over billions of mortals . The number shocked Chen Long , after all earth only has about 10 billions humans walking on it . But it seemed that this number is only a drop compared to the rest of the ocean . In the end Chen Tian will get picked up by one of the people . Naturally the Chen family has high hopes that maybe some children will draw the attention of the senior and thus take them away too . So Chen Long stands in a long line with the other children waiting to welcome the senior . Soon the senior arrived , though it isn''t one senior . It''s a group of seniors ! Exactly 9 . Just looking at the name and the number of people visiting the Chen family , Chen Long could deem the 9 union as a weak alliance which can be destroyed pretty easily or as a Union which treats every sect equally . "Let''s hope its the latter ." sighed Chen Long while looking at every senior . Each of them is an old man , with white hair or without any hair . "Greetings. These are the younger generations of my family . Can you look at them ? I must say that my single view isn''t so great ." started the leader of the Chen family . An old man with white hair . Smiling the group of old man first greeted Chen Tian before surrounding him and flattering him . With disappointment Chen Long looked at the group of old man , where the heck are the earth shattering beautys or rivals appearing in such situations ? With a smile Chen Tian greeted each senior before leading them to the house . As soon as they left the females kyaa-ed about the handsome Chen Tian and his fame . However single old man soon appeared in front of them , causing the adults to sweat . Does he hate kyaaing females ? However soon 2 more elders appeared , one of the said with a calm tone : "We will recruit youngster like you . Please show us your martial spirit , but before that seperate into inherited spirit and chosen ." Soon the crowd divided into two halfs . One of the halfs 10 times bigger than the others . I guess you know whom is whom . Looking at the inherited spirit , Chen Long could see serpents of different kinds appearing . Venom Serpent , battle serpent , normal serpent and one even got a lightning serpent . Nodding with a smile the elders looked at the youth with the lightning serpent and asked him to perform some punches as well asked him about his cultivation stage . Some youths next to Chen Long looked at the old mans with expectations as if asking : "When its our time to show our talent ?" However the time never came . The 3 Elders selected a few talented people , naturally one of them is the lightning youth . With glee on his face the Chen family Leader walked outside . It was as if the future of the Chen family is secured . After all this time some of the sect disciple may come back , or even act as ancestory for future generations ! One thing looked funny , from the 6 old mans coming out , 3 of them looked sad and 3 looked happy . Mostlikely he got Chen Tian into his sect . Just as they wanted to go suddenly Chen Zhen appeared , the one who tried to recruit Chen Long . One of the happy Elders walked towards him while patting him on his shoulders . The other happy Elder walked towards Chen Zhu , the little fatty while patting him on his shoulders as well . With beaming eyes the Chen family leader looked how his family member got accepted into the sects . Meanwhile the other 5 Elders who got nobody looked with envy to the other elders .If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement. Now 4 elders got talented people , the lighting serpent youth , Chen Tian , Chen Zhu with unknown reason and Chen Zhen with unknown reason . Out principle they took a few random people with them . Just as Chen Long thought about how to live as a mercenary , one of the old mans pointed at him and said : "You , come with me ." Shocked Chen Long could only slowly walk to the elder under everyone gaze . In the end he was the only one of the chosen half to get selected . The reason ? Because the inherited spirit youths already got taken and the elder who chose Chen Long didn''t want to have fewer numbers than the others . Now every one who got an inherited spirit got chosen by one of the sects . It may seem a little bit dumb to let every member who got an inherited spirit go with a sect , but the Chen family is a white shark in sea . So morphing into a small shark wouldn''t change anything . Besides morphing into a smaller shark while a dragon protects you would be better than being a white shark . So the journey started . Chen Long got into the same sect as the lightning youth , however he didn''t knew his name . No wonder , Chen long only trained and cultivated without caring about the family situation . He didn''t even knew other powers who would be able to rival the Chen family . To sum it up , his life he lived previously is extremely useless to him . Since this world is a world ruled by power , weak people have no right to say anything . Looking up into the blue sky Chen long sighed : "It seems like i am not protected by the mighty plot armor ." Staring at back of the old man Chen Long clenched his fist . Will he ever be able to stand above all others ? Destroy mountains with a single though ? With a burning spirit Chen Long followed the group , though the feeling didn''t last long . Walking for two days Chen Long gazed at the old man . "What for a monster !" thought Chen Long while panting and wiping his sweat away . Chen Long panted and gaped , the only thing he wanted to do is sleeping for 10 years and eating tons of food . As well as drinking huge amounts of water . Turning back to look at the group of youths the old man looked with a disappointed look . The only one who didn''t panted was the lightning youth . Comparing himself with the others Chen Long smiled a little bit , at least he isn''t the one who needs a rest the most . After all , even without an inborn spirit he is at the peak of the 5th Qi stage . To explain why it''s so important to have a higher stage is quite easy . Imagine Qi as energy which beings are able to absorb , store and use for different purpose . No wonder teenager are able to walk for 2 days straight , without any rest or any food . It is because they are using the energy called Qi . Clapping into his hands the old man said something which caused the majority to smile : "Okay , we are resting here . Since it seems like that you are too weak to go any future i have good news , we have a transport array in a location which is about 2 weeks away from here ." The last sentence caused the majority of the group to feel emberassed . However Chen Long didn''t care , after all its a problem-free transport , so why don''t use it ? After that the old man took out a huge pot , noodles and ingredients . Wondering how Chen Long looked at the pouch the man used . "Maybe a space pouch ? Or shrinking equipment ?" thought Chen Long while resting . While Chen Long and the group waited for the man to finish his cooking a single youth meditated . It is the lightning boy . It caused the old man to look at the lightning boy with a satisfied look . Followed by that the group started to meditate as well . Including Chen Long . After distributing the noodle Soup , the old man even guided the lightning youth in his training . Drawing envious gazed from the other group member . However they started to flatter the youth . Sighing Chen Long looked at the situation , if a little family already started to treat cousins as outsiders and starte to flatter them , then how would a bigger family manage all the branches ? Wouldn''t the blood get lesser and lesser till two member of the same family would almost have no connection to each other ? In a blink of an eye two weeks passed , the group arrived in front of the simple looking array . The array looked simple , a single circle . Trying to identifiy the array , the only thing Chen Long got is [ ??? ] . Chen Long deemed his two abilitys as pretty useless . The AI wasn''t as practical as he thought it would be and appraisal only works on normal things like [Stone] , [Stick] or people names you already know . It couldn''t identify magical objects , the only thing it could do was to mark the not-normal things with a [ ??? ] . However Appraisal could train his mental energy , thus speeding up his cultivation speed . So he experimented a little bit future and indeed it can described things . However he needs to use a lot of mental energy to get the description . Though he only could get descriptions of normal Objects like [ Stones ] : [Stone: ] [A stone the size of a human eye , harder than wood , softer than iron .] Stepping on the array the old man commanded the group to stand in the circle before throwing some white powder on the outside . Within a second the surrounding disappeared and Chen Long could see that they appeared in a different place . Looking around he could see a square with 9 of those transporting arrays , people walking around while chatting . With amazement Mike stared at the buildings surrounding the plaza , beautiful houses in the ancient china style . The ground paved with bricks . Hurrying the group to walk out of the circle , the old man walked in a certain direction . After walking through the streets of the city they arrived in front of a house . Telling the group to wait , the old man stepped in for a while before appearing with medals . "Here is your sect medal , drop a little bit of blood on it . It will show you your sect points which you can use to trade for materials or martial skills . You can earn it by working or trading in this city , to remind you this entire city is part of the fallen leaf sect , so feel free to explore it . To explain the rules : - First of all no killing - You are all formal disciples so don''t expect the sect to care about you - If you want to be an outer or even inner disciple , prove yourself , or be talented - You all have the duty of protecting the sect - food and lodging is provided as long as work in the sect or pay for it - You all have to do some sect missions to earn money , or find work in the sect Any Questions ? None ? Okay , since you are all certainly buffed i have a surprise for you . You are allowed to learn the first martial skill for free , go with me ." explained the old man while giving everyone a medal . After everyone marked their medals with blood the old man lead the group to the house with a hurry , he talked a little bit with the lightning youth before giving him a bottle of something . Then the old man left . Being left alone the group didn''t know what to do and so they waited for a while . A steady stream of people walked in and out of the house , with an akward silence the group waited before another old man walked to them and asked : "Newbies ?" The one stepping forwards is the lightning youth . Chatting for while the old man smiled and lead the group of people in while explaining with a clear voice : "Okay , we have cultivation techniques and martial skills . Which one do you want to choose ?" "Which one would senior choose ?" asked the lightining youth while cupping his hands . Smiling the old man replied : "Chen Lei i advice you to choose a cultivation technique , after all i bet you don''t have one yet ." It seems the lightning boy is called Chen Lei , realized Chen Long before pondering about the cultivation techniques , didn''t cultivation mean only absorbig Qi ? Thank goddness Chen Lei voiced the question : "Why cultivation technique ? Didn''t one only need to absorb Qi to cultivate ?" As if expecting the question the old man answered : "Normal Qi can be used for everything , however i believe all of you have a certain speciality you want to focus on . After all , all of you can choose 9 martial spirits . For example a sword master will take 9 swords as his spirits , a fighter will take certain beasts or defensive items like shields or armor as his spirit , a beast controller will try to take a good combo of beasts as his spirits etc. . Hahaha , sorry i talk too much . Where was i ? Ah right , cultivation technique . To make it short , the cultivation technique will transform your Qi into another Qi , like fire Qi , or ice Qi or any Qi you want . There are many types of Qi in this world . They all can be transformed , for example if someone with fire Qi eats an ice treasure it will transform into fire Qi . However if someone with fire Qi wants to use an other Qi Spirit or weapon , the effect will halven or even be reduced to 10 or less percent ." "No , no . Senior you don''t speak too much . After all we Juniors should listen to some experience of the seniors . Senior can you explain us how the sect works ?" flattered Chen Lei . Smiling the old man answered a few questions before they arrived in front of the cultivation technique section . Some youths and girls of the Chen Family group already appeared to be nervous and even excited as they walked past different martial skills . So they didn''t listened much to the old man , however Chen Long heard everything . He heard the man talking about a job-center for newbies , the lodging , the major powers in the sect etc. . To say it short : Necessary stuff . Arriving in the cultivation technique section the old man turned to Chen Lei before asking : "What is your spirit ? I can give you some advice ." "I have an inborn spirit which is the lightning serpent , no chosen spirit ." answered Chen Lei . Smiling the old man answered : "Then a lightning or thunder Cultivation Technique should be good , go to the Iron road and hold your medal to the barried , you then can stay there as long as you want before going out . The first time its free , after that you have to pay . Good luck ." With glee the group rushed to the different objects which are the cultivation technique , for example a pond of water for the water Qi . However all Objects appeared to be magical , so Chen Long tried to use appraisal on them . Every single one of them gave a [ ??? ] back . Soon the group splitted causing Chen Long to walk around . Reading each description caused Chen long to feel that every type of Qi is amazing . Sword Qi allows the cutting of objects , Stone Qi allows one to have a body as hard as stone , Fire Qi causes one Qi to be as hot as fire and even ignites things etc. . Chapter 4 Sect Job Thought what surprised Chen Long was the fact that the magical skills aren''t stored in scrolls neither are readable . It seems like that the skills are stored in magical object forged by certain seniors to learn according to their own understanding . After all every human is different , so how could one create a skills for every single martial artist ? Even in basic fist techniques or basic sword techniques exists certain differents . Some focus more on speed , others on slow but powerful strikes , some others focus on redirecting the attack to the opponent without even attacking once . To say it short , there are countless way to achieve strength . The only problem is one have to find it for yourself which is quite hard . Thus the system of learning something and combining things is the best way to find your own goal . After all if the skills from the previous generation isn''t used , then every generation has to start at 0 . So Chen Long looked at the description of a burning torch . [ Flame on a Torch ] [ Able to achieve Skills like the Torch Endurance skill which allows you to cast your flame Qi for hours without getting weaker , Light in the Darkness which allows your Qi to become a warm Qi which will heal your injurys faster as well provide you with a comfortable warmth in cold days , Torching Body which will evelop your entire body in flames causing damage to enemy foes . ] [ Note : These are only the learned Skills , there may be hidden skills in it ] Interested by the description of the skill Chen Long thought a little bit about it . He already passed quite many of those "skills" , but it seemed like those scrolls in novels are quite the bullshit . You can''t just read a martial skill which will be able to destroy mountains with a single swipe of your arm . You need to understand them ! Ignoring the note of the sign he decided to not use his free chance for this torch . After all this note told him that in every single magical object in this corridor may has a mighty skill if you are destined , but how many people are in this sect ? Then shouldn''t every people possess a unique heritage ? Walking for a while Chen Long decided to stop this skill searching , after all he isn''t forced to choose a skill in a limited timeline , isn''t he ? Besides it seems that the skills are quite hard , sitting in front of them for a few days before hunger comes to you won''t be so great for learning . Coming to a solution , Chen Long walked towards one of the Job-Center which he heard from the old man . Leaving his family group aside he has no regret , before becoming his errand boy he rather try to establish his own foothold in this sect . Naturally one of the reason is the fact that he is the only one without an inherited spirit . Strolling through the sect Chen Long gaped at the beautiful scenary . You may think of him as a country bumpkin from eart , however Chen Long lived in a world montropolis and witnessed giant sky scraper which made the human as small as an ant . In other words , he liked modern architecture . However looking at all the majestic buildings in asian style ain''t bad either . "There should be some european style country too right ? Maybe i will see a huge net of aqueduct somewhere in the world , or even bigger pyramids ." speculated Chen Long while walking on the paved street . (AN: aqueduct is the water system made by the roman , it looks cool but it ain''t amazing compared to today . But you have to imagine that they only build it with hands , tools and sweat ! Same with the Chinese Wall.) Enjoying the scenary he could see how youths like him rushed past while whispering : "We have to hurry , i heard senior sister is coming !" "Really ?" one could literally heard a gulp . Turning around to see their bodys rushing past him Chen Long sighed , he isn''t ready for beautys yet . He has no talent , no power and neither anything to give . It may sound a little bit harsh , however Chen Long didn''t believed in true love . After all a boy can fan normal spring water as much a he wants , if the girls wants a cold drink then she will follow the boy who has ice cubes . Only then can love develop between the girl and the ice cube boy . Not convinced ? Or doubting my words ? To say it in other words : Chen Long believes you need a certain basis when you want to woo beautiful woman , especially in a strength rules world . Slapping his own two cheeks Chen Long cheered himself up : "I can''t keep up this depressive mode , i have to work hard and try to get stronger !" After walking for a while Chen Long arrived in front of the job house which looked a little bit smaller than other houses , however Chen Long didn''t cared about that . If things goes right then he will only come here once . Stepping in he searched for any people he can talk to . Without success . Where the heck are all the people ? Chen Long looked left and looked right . Isn''t this a job-searcher house ? Shouldn''t the disciples be trying to court the leader to get better jobs ? Not only that , shouldn''t people trying to get jobs from the sect ? "Ah ah , youth . What brings your here ?" smiled an extremely old man with snow white hair and many wrinkles towards Chen Long . Chen Long didn''t want to be impolite in this world , so he cupped his hands and bowed a little bit : "Senior , this newbie wonders why people are not coming into this house to search for jobs ?" Seemingly enjoying the respect the old man said : "Today is half-yearly sect day . People will try to become outer , inner or even core disciples . Not only that , small sect compition will held every year and the ranking will be updated . Though it isn''t as big as the 5 year sect festival it still helps to find out a few good seedlings . But what about this junior ? Since you are a newbie then you certainly want to find a job , how about a fighting job ? After all youths like you certainly love it to brawl and fight with true comrades ! Hahahahah !" Acting nervous Chen Long said : "Senior is certainly right , however i am not as strong as others right now . Besides i don''t want to be a burden to everyone . To say the truth , i wanted to have a peaceful job so i can learn more scolar stuff ." Since Chen Long seemed like one of those not so confident and weak youths the old man smiled and said : "Okay , then how about this job ? It is a peaceful one and quite simple . Its task is it to watch over a field of herbs for alchemists . You only have to plant it and harvest it , you live in a hut which is next to the field while being able to learn stuff on how to care about plants . Isn''t it great ?" Just as Chen Long wanted to ponder about any disadvantages the old man laughed and said : "Hahah , normally disciples would agree immediately . To make it better i will allow you use the jade library , so you don''t have to walk out of the house . Not only that , i will give you the best treatment with a free chance of learning a skill every half-year ." Stunned Chen Long agreed immediately , after all the old man wouldn''t lie for nothing right ? Besides even if he takes the short stick in the end it doesn''t really matter for him . After all he won''t annoy a big fish and the sect is big enough to avoid a job-center director .The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. After receiving the imprint on the medal as well as a written guide-book for his job he slowly wondered if the sect tried to make as little contact as possible for the disciples . After all the old man who lead them here kinda dumped them here , only giving Chen Lei the lightning boy a little advantage . However after reading through the other jobs he kinda frowned how little the payment is compared to the job he got . Not only that , even taking new disciples to the sect will only give you only about 50 sect points . And that is one of the limited jobs other jobs even requested to hunt beasts and only get 5k points . By the way , the cost of one learning lesson is 5k points . (AN: You can''t just take random disciples , the disciple-take-in-jobs are limited and provided by the sect , for example the 9 Union sended a group out .) So Chen Long walked towards the transport array in which he appeared today . After going through more than 100 small stations as well as more than 5 big stations he stopped to count how much arrays he already passed . The scenary changed extremely quick , from an asian build style to a seemingly normal village surrounded by forest to a huge waterfall . He knew the way since his sect medal lead the way , not only that , he didn''t has to scatter some of that white powder to power the array . Instead the arrays were active all the time , so disciples coult walk in and out as they pleased . However one shouldn''t jump in and out just for fun , after all teleporting something costs energy . Chen Long walked from one array to the next , at first he looked quite excited . Man , that transporting array is so cool ! However he soon realized that it isn''t something amazing , instead it seemed like a transporting tool like the train or planes . As a country bumpkin you would feel excited , however if you are used to it then it won''t be anything amazing anymore . The sky turned dark as Chen Long arrived in his final destination , a single array which needed white powder to get into motion . How he knew that ? Well the circle didn''t shone like the arrays he passed throught before . Stepping out he expected something more ... more huge . What he saw was a little field trail leading to some peaceful mountain ranges . Though it looked quite beautful the expectations of Chen Long shattered . He expected something like a modern field where everything needed to be regulated . Walking along the trail he could see some people picking up the plants or watering them with floating clouds . Smiling he felt that it may be not a bad choice to start in this peaceful surrounding , in normal Cultivation Normal there would be some kind of arrogant villain which the mc would defeat , then the villain would call his big daddy , and this daddy after getting beaten would call his big daddy . Not only that , a mc has to learn 10 mighty earth-shattering skills as well as conquer and tease 5 beautys in a single month . How the heck should he achieve that ? Just as he leisury strolled towards the end of the path he found time to read the job-guiding book . Which surprisingly described his job quite well : Plant-Farmer : - Plant the food - Use the slaves provided by the house to achieve the yearly quote . - There is an access to the library via the medal , there is a ranking for access : - bronce - silver - gold - jade - core - true - elder What the ? With a shocked expression Chen Long looked at the jade rank , didn''t the old man gave him this rank for free ? Did he joked about it or did he speak the truth ? Slowly he began to run , kinda forgetting about the mentioned slaves . However as he arrived in front of his house he realized that there are these slaves who work for him . Though there wasn''t any beautiful womans . Only 7 middle aged man , 3 middle aged womans and one or two elders . It felt quite akward to command the slaves , however Chen Long got used quite soon . After all it is quite comfortable to let others do something for you . Not only that , the house in which he lived wasn''t so big . However it could hold all the slaves as well as provide him with a big room and a training room . Naturally the building looked like one of those ancient asian mansions . Soon a few days passed , Chen Long realized that this job ain''t a job . It was more like free training paradise . It is certainly that he will harvest more plants than needed which could be sold for points to trade for pills or weapons or access to the skills . Even daily necessarys are provided , like food , drinking water and a jug of wine . However Chen Long traded the jug of wine for more food and more water . After a while Chen Long decided to access the library , he touched the jade socket which was in his sleeping room . After focussing his mind on the socked he could feel his entire surrounding , however he couldn''t look further than his room . Not only that , he somehow could read the books which was in the jade socket . Feeling this wonderous moment for a while Chen Long finally started to search for useful informations , after all in a library the books not only consist of survival stuff , it also contains fairy tales , legends , books to laugh for as well as boring history books . Because he somehow got the jade rank Chen Long could somehow get access to some of the unknown books like the 10 thousand herb lexica or the types of martial spirits . After copying the 10 thousands herb in his AI Chen Long felt like a little kid at christmas , isn''t that talent ? Some people need to learn all of that knowdledge , but i only need to save it in my AI ! At first he didn''t knew how to save it in his AI , maybe he has to focus or something ? But in the end he only needed to watch every single page , which in his "ghost" stage is extremely easy . Searching for more useful information he frowned , there was nothing . He only found a little bit more about martial spirit , but he didn''t got what he wanted . After a week of searching he finally gave up . He couldn''t find a map , neither a good history book . Most of the history book consist of the glory of a single person . Just as he wanted to go to the skill pavilion he found something interesting . Occupations like Alchemist , Enscripter , Array Master of Forger are shortly described . It seemed like a second power coming from the mind is needed . Not necessary , however one needed to have the mind power to control flames , or certain runes . So having the power should be necessary for higher levels . Smiling Chen Long thought about the mental energy which helped him to "gather" Qi . Isn''t that mental energy as well ? Then doesn''t that mean he can become a martial artis with an occupation ? Pushing that aside he found something about the pro and cons of inborn spirit . It was from an old senior which existed about 2000 years ago . It wrote that one should "theme" his 9 martial spirit , like 9 sword into an array formation , or a full set of armor , or mythical legends like 9 serpents for a nine headed dragon etc. . It seems that one would receive a bonus compareable to the theme you choose . Now back to to the inborn spirit , if one has a "normal" spirit like a serpent then one has to build the other spirit around it . So the power would be weaker compared to a guy who can choose his 9 spirit . However if one has a mighty inborn spirit like a dragon or a Vermillion Bird then it certainly would be more powerful than one who can chooses his 9 spirit . So to say it every spirit can evolve , even inborn spirit . So in the end the true winner are the inborn spirit users . Sighing Chen Long disconnected from the jade socket which he deemed as a small internet and stood up . Stretching for a few moments he thought of going to the skill pavillion . It is time for him to choose a cultivation technique which will give his Qi a specific Element , or effect . After asking for a method to store a lot of food and water one of his elder slaves reminded him of a space bag which is kinda free for every sect disciple . It could hold things the size of a big room , while only being as big as a handbag . Not even that , the bag won''t weigh much since it is another space . After receiving it Chen Long stuffed it to the brim with food and water . Asking for next martial arts house the elder replied with a honest voice that the next should only be around 20 array teleportions away . Frowning Chen Long couldn''t believe it was so far away . He used way more arrays when he walked to here , however that was when his medal got marked with some kind of spirit mark and lead him to each array he should take . However there was a simple solution , the elder just guided him there and Chen Long remembered the way . Giving this solution Chen Long felt like a genius , even though the old man who is a slave looked at him like he''s a weirdo . Without caring about the feeling of the old man they started to walk to the martial pavillion . They arrived without any problems . After walking through the cultivation section Chen Long looked with surprise at the martial Charms . Every single one of them is different than the one he visited before ! But he quickly sighed at his own stupidy , how could one create the same "enlightment" again ? Reading through the description he felt like he needed to choose one quickly , best would be to get a Qi effect which could be used to suppot his theme . After all he choose a low flame as his first spirit so he decided to go for the 4 element theme . Fire , Earth , Water and Air . So choosing Fire Qi wouldn''t be so good . Since it would weaken his future Water spirit . Walking through the description he found the one he chooses : [ Filter ] [ A cultivation technique which makes your Qi more pure , it won''t affect the capacity you can hold ] [ Warning : You can''t cultivate This short description felt quite supicious , after all the other description would at least have second or even third effects . But this only have one effect , making the Qi more pure .
