Calligraphy, Professions In Cultivation World

The Gongsun siblings would visit Fei Chen often after their first visit. The three of them would usually spar with each other, with Cang Wuya and Gongsun Yikong keeping a watchful eye over them.

Hearing Gongsun Jianwu talking about calligraph Fei Chen also tried doing it himself, he asked his grandfather if there were any books in the library regarding calligraphy.

"Why do you want to learn Calligraphy, any reason?"

Cang Wuya asked him, with a meaningful smile on his face, he had heard of his grandson's talk with the girl from the Gongsun family. Cang Wuya's first thought was that Fei Chen wanted to impress her by learning calligraphy.

Fei Chen gave his grandfather a deadpan look. With his mental maturity, he couldn't have a crush on a little girl. Just the thought made him shudder. The main reason he wanted to study calligraphy was to cultivate his mind. There are many precedents in this world of scholars reaching enlightenment in calligraphy and stepping on the path of cultivation. Another reason was that he wanted to lay a foundation for his studies in Talisman making, as he knew of a man who had an inheritance regarding the profession.

"I want to learn calligraphy to temper my mental strength."

Hearing Fei Chen's reply and looking at the deadpan expression on his face Cang Wuya just sighed and shook his head wryly, laughing he said,

"Hahaha, I see. You can check the last shelf on the right-hand side corner, there are a few books on Calligraphy. Regarding the apparatus for writing, I will tell your father to arrange them for you. "

"Thank you, grandfather."

Fei Chen thanked the elder, to which Cang Wuya said not to worry about it, and that's what elders are for. Fei Chen found only one book on calligraphy 'Introduction to calligraphy by Mi Fu '.

.....Scene Break.....

Fei Chen was sitting inside his cultivation chamber, going through the system's notifications. It had been six months since he started refining his internal organs. Throughout the refinement, he gained very detailed knowledge of the human body, which included all 360 acupoints and the meridians running throughout the body.

[Ding Basic Body Tempering exercises (proficiency (92.7 %))]

[Ding Elementary Breathing Technique (proficiency (100 %))]

[Ding Cloudmist Steps (proficiency (75 %))]

[Ding Vajra Fist (proficiency (90 %))]

[Ding Calligraphy (proficiency (33.4 %))]

Studying Calligraphy earned him a skill from the system, allowing him to hone the craft quite easily. The main benefit he could feel from practicing Calligraphy was his state of mind was calmer than before, which showed during his martial practices giving him better results.

Other than practicing martial arts and calligraphy, he also learned various details regarding the Greencloud continent and various professions of cultivators from his grandfather.

.....Flashback.....

"Grandfather, I want to know more information regarding the Greencloud continent."

Cang Wuya raised his brows a bit upon hearing his grandson's question. He was currently sitting inside the library reading. Nodding his head, he asked Fei Chen to sit.

"Chen'er, do you know where are we living right now?"

Cang Wuya asked a question first instead of explaining anything, he wanted to asses his grandson's knowledge.

"The Heavenly Palace is located in the central region of the Greencloud continent on the Heavenly Palace mountain."

Cang Wuya nodded his head and replied,

"So you want to know what is outside the central region of the Greencloud continent?"

"Yes"

Cang Wuya went silent, after summarizing all the information he knew from his travels and books he had read, he started explaining.

"In this world, there are 9 continents. Each continent has 81 countries, and each country has 81 cities. The Greencloud continent is situated in the northwest region of the world. The strength of practitioners decreases as you move toward the west from the central region, with a city having a few Xiantian and some having only peak Houtian. The environment also changes, affecting the concentration of spiritual qi, which usually becomes the determining factor for the strength of the cultivators in any region.

On this continent, other than cultivators, there are also beast tamers. Beast tamers usually depend on the demonic beasts they tame to do battle. It could be said that an expert beast tamer was even more terrifying than a cultivator."

Fei Chen was listening attentively to everything, so when Can Wuya mentioned beast tamers, his ears perked up, his expression showing a little excitement.

"Grandfather, can you explain more about beast tamers and demonic beasts."

Cang Wuya just nodded with a smile,

"Normally, we call a beast a demonic beast after it has lived and been cultivated for more than 500 years. All demonic beasts have formed a demonic core inside their bodies and have had strength on the level of Xian Tian lifeforms.

A beast tamer that does not have a contracted demonic beast cannot be considered a real beast tamer at all. After all, beast tamers could only use a specialized sealing technique to form a contract after a wild beast had evolved into a demonic beast. After evolution, all demonic beasts will gain intelligence, especially those demonic beasts that had cultivated over 1000 years; they can be even smarter and more cunning than humans! Therefore, the requirements for one to become a beast tamer are just too harsh. Not only must one be strong enough to contend against the demonic beasts, but one must also be proficient in those cryptic incantations, restrictions, and sealing techniques. "

Although there were plenty of cultivators, there were plenty of other ways to survive in this world. The ones with the most advantages were the beast tamers, the alchemists, and the medical doctors.

There were also a lot of people who chose to be architects, cooks, tailors, and blacksmiths, but these professions were not as revered as the beast tamers, alchemists, and doctors.

As the proverb states "every profession would produce a master, as long as you put in enough love and diligence in your work" The people of this world would still need to eat, need weapons to fight with, will fall sick, and get injured.

So it doesn't matter which profession one is in, as long as you are the absolute best in that profession, riches, women, and respect will come to you too.

Especially for the alchemists, who are the most revered professionals in this world. Alchemists could concoct the Yuan Replenishing Pellet to block pain and aid in recovery, or the legendary Dragon Martial Pill, which raises the chances of breaking into the Xian Tian Realm by 50%!

It should be known that the chance of reaching the Xiantian realm was only one in a hundred thousand, so having a pill that increased your chance by 50% was a luxury few could afford.

Even if they failed a thousand times in pill concoctions, any alchemist, no matter how high or low ranked, would be revered and venerated by the masses! Pill concoctions also require luck. Who knows, that lowly-ranking alchemist you passed over yesterday might produce an immortal-grade elixir today.

All of this information was told to Fei Chen by his grandfather, Cang Wuya. Fei Chen was extremely interested in the alchemist profession. With his proficiency system, once he reached 100% proficiency in any pill formula, he was bound to have an almost perfect success rate in pill concoctions.

A/N: The inheritance MC will get along with the pendant, I am still undecided on that if you have any suggestions, please comment, it can be any inheritance from other cultivation novels as he will not be getting the og technique 'Ancient Strengthening Technique'.

Thank you for reading. :)
