6 005 - New Skills

After following them for about an hour, Lei Ao notices the camp. The same condition as Lei Ao had last seen it. Simple, but effective.

[Sign in at the military camp of the Everlasting Sect?]

Lei Ao immediately accepts it 'Yes!'.

[Signed in at the military camp of the Everlasting Sect!]

[Received 'Four Legendary Beast's Breathing Manual'!]

[Received 'Qi Absorption Pill'!]

'What!?! This is amazing!' Lei Ao exclaims at the rewards, realizing that he could potentially start to cultivate.

He didn't immediately get out the rewards in order to not attract any attention. He then entered the camp. Lei Ao noticed that the camp was completely silent, the eyes of those watching them enter the camp were full of hate and injustice.

'They are probably like me, forced to be here.' Lei Ao guesses correctly.

Lei Ao continues to follow in order to get the rewards he was promised.

Lei Ao tries to ignore the gloomy atmosphere present in the camp. They had just won a battle against the Dark Moon Empire, but no one was celebrating.

'Ughh... I can't wait to get out of here. Just looking at the faces of these people just reminds me of the faces of students just before taking my final exam, dreadful.'

Lei Ao continues until half the group separates, going back to the stable. Lei Ao lays there confused until a man approaches him.

"You, go to the achievements hall to get you rewards, tell them Da Ge sent you there." After saying his line, the man turns around and leaves. Completely ignoring whether or not I would've replied.

Left alone, Lei Ao searches his memory of where he previously slept. He decided that he was going to go to the achievements hall tonight.

Lei Ao now left alone, quickly leaves the camp and enters the forest behind it. His excitement about the possibility of cultivating forcing him to check his rewards.

[Received 'Four Legendary Beast's Breathing Manual'!]

[Received 'Qi Absorption Pill'!]

Lei Ao quickly retrieves the manual and pill. Quickly opening the breathing manual and reading its content.

['Four Legendary Beast's Breathing Manual']:

Its content was enigmatic, to say the least. It followed the principle of the legendary White Tiger, Black Turtle, Red Phoenix and Azure Dragon. A compendium on the mystical arts of the four beasts. Meditating and gathering the qi from the heavens. Circulating the qi throughout your body's meridians. This technique managed to open 32 of the 72 meridians of the human body. And according to Lei Ao's previous owner's parents would be rated as a middle Silver I tier cultivation manual.

The ratings are as follows: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Obsidian, Imperial, Heavenly, Divine, Godly. Each rank is divided into 4 tiers: I, II, III, IV. With IV being the best. Anything better than those was something Lei Ao was not familiar with as he didn't have enough information to know if something better existed.

Although the technique was only Silver I tier, it was plenty enough for Lei Ao! Who had not imagined soaring the skies wielding otherworldly power? None!

Lei Ao hastily began to follow the breathing manual. He sat in a cross-legged position and breathed deeply. Calming his mind from any thoughts. The manual stated that cultivating with a clear mind led to the best results.

Slowly, the qi from the heavens gathered around Lei Ao. Filling the surrounding area with fog. The qi slowly entered Lei Ao's body, entering through the Governing meridian then flowing to his Heart meridian, down his right arm, leg then left leg, then left arm finally towards his core before flowing back to his Heart meridian. He had completed a cycle.

Only when one completes a cycle would the qi settle into one's body, fortifying it.

Time slowly passed before Lei Ao awoke. He breathed in, surprised by his heightened senses, and powerful feeling flowing through his body.

'So this is what cultivating feels like. The feeling of your strength growing is addicting' Lei Ao stated.

'What the fuck!'

Lei Ao was extremely surprised by his explosive increase in strength after only reaching the first level of the first realm.

'What would happen if he were to consume the 'Qi Absorption Pill' and cultivate. Lei Ao couldn't help but wonder.

'Well instead of thinking about it, let's just do it.'

Plop!

Lei Ao threw the pill into his mouth. The fog thickened.
