Copper Spirit Grass!?

After the match Fan Cheng went straight to the dormitory since he had nowhere to go accept there.

After changing clothes and eating lunch he went to the college library. He was unfamiliar with this place so he had to learn more about this place from the library.

The spirit energy was scarce everywhere but it was better inside the college grounds. Fan Cheng thought this may be related to Yang and Yin Qi of the young students but he still wanted to confirm the reason for it.

Fan Cheng didn't go meet the Ice queen English teacher Bing Shui. Now he wanted information more than anything.

So, in the following days, Fan Cheng spent the whole day browsing the library and cultivated in the night. This way he spent four months and the college sent him a notice that he will be expelled if he didn't give a reasonable explanation.

In these four months, he had already memorized all the contents of the library. He had already reached the ninth level on body refinement stage-9 and his strength rose to 1000 jin. He was surprised that he could reach stage-9 that quickly because normal children start their cultivation at the age of ten which means normally what should take ten years took him only four months. He can see the reason being he is already past the starting age but the most important role was played by his cultivation technique.

Today he went to see around the college if he could find any other reason for the better energy.

After he searched he could feel he was getting close to a source of energy and Fan Cheng quickened

his footsteps and he saw a reddish-brown colored grass in a garden he was surprised that he could find something that grew in the cultivation world in here. It was a copper spirit grass that was only a rank one spirit medicine.

Spirit medicine was divided into nine ranks. And it was strictly related to one's cultivation level for a spirit medicine to work.

Rank one spirit medicine was only useful for mortal and Qi gathering realm cultivators.

One normally could not use spirit medicine that was two ranks higher than one's cultivation because there was too much spirit energy in the medicine if one took it carelessly one would die by consuming it by blasting oneself.

And spirit medicine with two ranks lower basically does not have a good effect on cultivation.

One of the rarest rank one medicine is the Foundation Forming grass.

This copper spirit grass has rank one through rank three and ranks four through rank six spirit grass is silver spirit grass and rank seven through rank nine spirit grass is called golden Spirit grass. (Yeah, I know my naming sense sucks)

Then there's Low, Mid, and high-grade spirit medicine. Low-grade copper spirit grass is rank one and low-grade Silver spirit grass is rank four and so on and so forth.

The rank one copper spirit grass was in a flower bed in the restricted area only for the academy head.

He didn't mind and went inside to see that it had matured. This was one of the common grasses and because it was rank one it matures every 25 days and dies in the full moon. Fan Cheng can see that evening is coming and the full moon is today. So Fan Cheng quickly went to pick up the copper spirit grass which could help him get a breakthrough to the Qi gathering realm.

The most important part about stepping into the Qi Gathering realm is that it unlocks one's spirit sense. Spirit sense is what truly separates mortal from the cultivator.

When he was about to pick the grass He heard a cold voice say

"What are you doing?"

Yun Bing came here every day since two weeks ago because she can feel a calming effect coming here and that lets her relax.

Fan Cheng knew it was the restricted area and only the Academy head Yun Bing came here or the gardener in the morning.

He plucked the spirit grass and took it in his pocket turned around and said

"I accidentally came here and since I like gardening and saw that there was unnecessary grass so I plucked them out."

Fan Cheng then thought that since he found the reason for the better spirit energy and the college even asked for an explanation for his absence he can now just quit college.

Yun Bing investigated him before and knew he didn't have any hobby of gardening and she was about to say something when she heard Fan Cheng say

"And I was about to find you because I'm quitting college."

After saying what he had to say Fan Cheng went out of the garden and thought that there might be similar places where he could find spirit medicine so maybe he should rent a place close to such a place.

With that, he first thought about going to a Chinese medicine store to purchase some plants to make medicine for breaking into Qi Gathering Stage.
