Chapter 10: Silly elitism

On a hill on the outskirts of Yellow-town, a young man cultivated in a lotus position.

The boy's appearance was by average and his culture showed signs of imminent breakthrough. This person was none other than Ku Chen.

Although he didn't stay as long as Kazu at the same level. It had been a while since Ku Chen's culture was stagnant. After he had finished learning the cultivation technique Seis had given him. His breakthrough was only a matter of minutes.

At this moment Ku Chen's easy way, was about to show its first effects. The name of the technique had been given by Ku Chen. The latter was much less ambitious than Kazu and wanted a technique that was efficient and easy to access. Although the effects hoped for were much less than otherwise. His results were nevertheless well above the level of the techniques of the region.

It was a simple and effective technique. It was for this reason that even lazy Ku Chen had only needed a week to fully apprehend him.

It was also what could be done better in speed of culture among the techniques of this level. But all of its benefits came at a price and in return it did not improve the martial physique of the practitioner. But despite Seis' warning, Ku Chen was very happy with it.

Finally the long awaited breakthrough finally comes and Ku Chen reaches the 5th level of physical molding.

The next moment the boy rolled his eyes. He had come here to do a bit like Kazu who was receiving some kind of special training. But although the essence on this hill was a bit denser than the one in town which was beneficial for the culture.

The thought of having to go back and forth every day was already tiring him.

"I wonder how things are going on Manager Mo's side?" "

Ku Chen's train of thought ceased as he thought he saw a familiar figure in the distance.

"Kazu? "

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Yellow-Town, Mo Bai the bar manager had finished with the help of many locals copying and widely distributing the techniques created by Seis.

The majority of the inhabitants did not have access to them and when we looked at those who were so fortunate, many had not yet had time to study them. Despite his two points, the techniques had already started to cause a sensation.

Although many had not yet been able to apprehend them. Many were also those who had been able to take the first step towards the world of culture with her.

On the side of the Essentialists the surprise was great. Their perspective of the situation was too confusing. In Yellow-town multitude of Essentialists rubbed shoulders with mortals on a daily basis. So suddenly seeing some of them overnight, suddenly entering the world of culture.It was a bit like suddenly waking up and realizing that his postman, his baker as well as half of our neighborhood was suddenly dyed your hair red. When you all owned the neighborhood dye and weren't aware of any other dyers.

Some people who were already an Essentialist had even managed to get their hands on techniques that Mo Bai had circulated. This only increased their unrest, especially among members of the three main clans.

Although the techniques that had been circulating were all rank 1. It seemed clearly apparent that they surpassed all those available at the same level within the clans.

In addition there was a variety among them. Some relied on a fast growing, others on a more solid foundation. While others improved essence control. Finally there was the one that allowed us to form a denser essence.

Within the Xiao clan there was even a meeting that brought together the most eminent members.

In a large hall dedicated to gatherings, around a table stood Patriarch Xiao Yun along with some other great heads of the clan such as his brother and Xiao Lin's father, Xiao Feng.

Xiao Lin was also invited himself in fact it might have been even more true to say that he was at the origin of this meeting.

It must be said that in all of Yellow Town, few Essentialists were in contact with mortals as much as he did. He was therefore one of the first to report the situation.

Since then he couldn't help but have a cold sweat. After having pressed one of his debtors. It was easy for him to get one of the cultivation techniques that were circulating.

As he walked through it, he was intrigued at first but when he came to the end he could perceive a symbol that was familiar to him.

At first incredulous, he finally had no choice but to accept it.

Xiao Lin stood facing a grizzled man. Despite his relatively advanced age, the man seemed to remain dignified. This person was the current head of the Xiao clan.

"Alright, Lin'er, now is the time, tell us what you think you know about this story. "

Xiao Lin inhaled and exhaled in order to regain his composure before beginning.

"I think I know who is causing this. "

Frowning slightly, the patriarch invited him to continue.

"You've all heard of what happened to me at Mo Bai's bar when I came to collect my due two weeks ago. To be honest, the symbol visible on the back of each manuscript happens to be the symbol of this bar. "

"Impossible, a mortal could not have this. "

Seeing his father's features twitch, Xiao Lin continued more cautiously.

"Obviously ! Rather, it's about the same kid I met in that bar earlier. "

Despite his harsh expression, Xiao Feng's voice grew softer.

"Lin'er, what makes you say that? "

"In this town I don't see anyone else. I heard the kid worked at the bar. Her culture was not the one you could find in Yellow-town. She might be the descendant of an old family with a rich heritage or something like that. "

Although he tried to be as clear as possible, Xiao Lin caught the doubt on the faces of his auditors.

Finally, one of them came to speak.

"Forgive me, but I'm wondering about your theory. I don't see why a powerful Essentialist with this knowledge would waste their time working with a mortal. He may have defeated two of our servants. But isn't all of this possible, with tricks like using artifacts? Who among us has never seen such a scene? "

"It's true that this story already seemed dubious to me, but with that ..."

Seeing his different elders all express their doubts in turn, Xiao Lin fulminated inside.

"I wouldn't have missed it! I told you, this child is at least at the top of the realm of spiritual forming and I wouldn't be surprised if it was even more. "

-Bam

"Don't be ridiculous, Lin'er our patriarch himself is only at the 9th level of spiritual forming. In all of Yellow-town only Ling Han and Ku Qing are his equals even your old father is only at the 7th level of his realm. And you would like us to believe that a child would surpass us all! "

After Xiao Feng's aggressive intervention a heavy silence settled for several seconds before Xiao Yun finally decided to speak.

"Let's not blame youth for their fervor. I see that young Lin'er holds this child in the highest regard. I would be very curious to know what he thinks would be the motivation for such action. "

Xiao Lin brushed off the sweat that had started to accumulate above his forehead with the back of his hand before continuing.

"A few days ago I made a move to ruin the business of this establishment. And just after, we see this kind of manuscript appearing, it cannot be a coincidence. In my opinion the interest is pecuniary in nature. "

Once again the reaction of the elders was not long in coming.

"How much income can be expected from mortals?" "

This time Xiao Lin had the greatest difficulty in containing his disdain.

[That's that, when the only yardstick is culture level. We end up with completely stupid leaders.]

"Mortals are not the point. The plan was probably to get our attention. And by us I mean the big clans. It was certainly an approach with the sole purpose of attracting our attention, by freely distributing cultivation techniques better than those we have. She removes all values ​​from ours and shows us what she is capable of. "

"So the goal would be to sell us better ones. It's not completely crazy. So what do you think this child would want? Resource ? Spirit stones? Enter in our good graces? "

"Probably the first two. Likewise as I said we are not specifically targeted so it is not impossible that due to the conflicts that there has been previously with me, all trade is refused to our clan. "

"What are you telling us ? Because of your childish actions our clan is not only at risk of missing out on a rare opportunity. Besides taking for the enemy a competent figure. "

This time Xiao Lin remained silent, which does not mean that his father did.

"Enough, Lin'er is not to blame for this combination of circumstances! At least we are sure of one thing, if this child has recourse to the deturned way, it is most certainly not able to be our match. "

"It's not like we need confirmation, that's obvious! "

Xiao Yun's gaze turned serious as he seemed to have made up his mind.

"No matter how apt this child is, she is still a kid. If we have already offended her, then no more need to worry about it. I think we should pay that mortal bar manager a little visit. "

"It's too hasty, I don't think it's the wisest decision! "

-Slap

"Lin'er! You dare to contradict the patriarch. "

This time before Xiao Lin could retort anything he was slapped hard by Xiao Feng.

"Well, the decision is made, it is precisely to you Feng and Liner that I entrust this task.
