3 Lack of Cultivation. (1/2)
The moment Zhang Wu Ji entered the library of Zhang's Family, a few servants in the family all prepared a bucket of water in hand. Because the previous experience of their Third Young Master tries to burn the library, this reaction becomes normal in their daily lives as a servant in Zhang's Household.
But unexpectedly, the current Zhang Wu Ji is actually here to study!
Taking over the identity of Zhang Wu Ji for less than a week, he has to gain more information and knowledge related to this world thoroughly before he actually did something wrong. Although... The chances of him killed because of the former Zhang Wu Ji reputable deeds is higher.
Two days.
It took him two days to went through most of the reading material he considers important for him to know. What wonders him the most is their language and writings is basically the same as his former world. Except for the void of science, electricity, mechanical and building made of concrete, everything is almost similar to what he had seen before back in his own world.
As for the next differences, is their cultivation.
Back in his world, it was level 1 to level 99, and a level 100 is counted as the strongest person ever endured. But even that was made into a video game and not in their real life. While for the circumstances in this world, they were pretty much similar to a video game.
Qi Branching Tier
This is what their cultivation tier called. In the branching Tier, one will weave the strands of Inner Qi to produce more power for the cultivator to control. In the earliest stage of the branching tier, A cultivator will have to weave a total of 100 strands of Inner Qi in their body until they advanced and become a proper cultivator.
This is also known as the 1st Stage of Inner Qi Fighter Stage. Where everything begins. For every 100 Strands of Inner Qi weaved inside their body, it will be condensed into a strand of fighter Qi. Similarly, as long their amount of Fighter Qi reaches 100 strands, they can advance into the next stage, and so on. This will remain from the 1st Stage until the peak of the 9th Stage.
Entering the 10th Stage, they will be a qualified Inner Qi Warrior, a minimal requirement to become somebody associated with the Clans, Families, and proper Imperial Forces. This will continue until the 20th Stage, known as Inner Qi Soldier, 30th Stage, Inner Qi Master, 40th Stage Inner Qi Grand Master, until 50th Stage Inner Qi Elder.
Reaching 59th Stage in their cultivation, one will need to went through the Sheng Tian Process to cleanse their body and purify the Quality of Inner Qi, Physical Body, and Martial Body before entering the 60th Stage.
This stage is known as Inner Qi Lord, a grand title given to only those in this stage because they're now considered as a true cultivator that went through the cleansing process, where their strands of Lord Qi is twice stronger than before their Sheng Tian Process.
As they continue, it would be the 70th rank Inner Qi King, 80th rank Inner Qi Emperor, and the 90th rank Inner Qi Saint. Only by possessing 9,999 strands of Saint Qi can one obtains the ability to step in the sky, although the exhaustion of Qi will be extremely great.
Bur from rumors, it's said that the cultivation tier above the Qi Branching Tier does exist, but until now, no cultivator succeed in advancing past the borders between this two tiers.
”Wu Ji, what are you doing inside the library?” Zhang Qing Feng went to the library to see what the bastard is looking forward to accomplishing, but before he entered, Zhang Wu Ji opened the door and come out.
”I was reading. It seems our Ping An Continent is really interesting!” Zhang Wu Ji replied his so-called father in a nonchalant attitude, Unknown that his shallow reply will get the attention of his father.
”Quite interesting? What did you understand there from reading those books inside the library?” Zhang Qing Feng is shaken by the word this youth speaks. Only lingering in the library for two days, how many information can he grasp?
”If this brat actually understands the situation within the continent and what trouble us the most within the Li Jiang Town, it would be the best, even if he can't cultivate!” Zhang Wu Ji thought.
Ping An Continent, Four Imperial Kingdom, Qi Branching Tier, Beast Infestation, Profession, and Hierarchy. Is there anything I missed out?” as a librarian at his previous life, Zhang Wu Ji's bad habit such as thoroughly skimming through the book, revise them and simplified their content end up appearing once again.
But inside this useless debauchee Zhang Wu Ji, won't this turn into an uproar if the useless and unable to cultivates Third Young Master suddenly went to read books?
”Father, are you here to read some books as well? Some of them are too lengthy, they waste me too much time to went through the whole book,” he asked his so-called father since they were both standing at the entrance of the library.
”Read your head! I'm here to see how you're going to burn the library! But you actually read? And understand the continent and the power delegation on top of that? Has the sun start to rise from the west now?” Zhang Qing Feng stares at the bastard child of his while plenty of words he wished to say went through his mind.
”What are you planning to do?” His father asked him.
”Since my pocket money is limited, I was thinking about concocting some pills to earn money. Father, do you have a cultivation manual that I can learn?” Zhang Wu Ji replied his so-called father honestly. After listening to the servants that he only has 500 gold coins monthly to spend, and how he uses 100 gold coins to buy ten simple seeds, it seems that their family isn't doing too well.
But... How would he know that it was his own action that causes his pocket money to be deducted by so much? Zhang Qing Feng used to give him 5,000 gold coins monthly to spend, but he used the first-month money to visit the prostitutes in the Deity Pavilion for a total of five days and return home in life-risking condition.
The reason? He enjoyed intercourse so much he dried his sack from any remaining juices.
After the pocket money was deducted to 2,500 gold coins, he took it to wreck havoc in the Botanist Hall, messing with their Vice Hall Master's only daughter, arson, and others. These actions almost took him his life when he returned to the Zhang's Family Manor with hundred cultivators wishes to kill him.
Then, it reduced to a mere 1,000 gold coins a month, which he used them to burn the stalls of the vendors from the business street. His father screamed ”My God!!!” when he privately hires the carpenter to rebuild the stalls, but yet to give up in his ignorance, the former Zhang Wu Ji changes the design again and again, until the business street looks like a joke now in the eyes of other visitors!
Three times, in three months, after he reaches his growing age of fifteen years old. As for the education subjects, he was expelled from the six classes his two brothers took, and the Medicine Teacher and Blacksmithing Teacher give up on teaching him after five classes.
”Father, can I do so?” not knowing what his father is thinking, Zhang Wu Ji asked for his father's approval once again.
”Erm... Take it as a learning process, I will tell some people to bring you some ingredients to practice. As for those sold in Zhang's Apothecary, I will let you keep all the money it sold.” Zhang Qing Feng hesitates to let this bastard child of his handle the production, but a few additional pills for sale won't be a problem.
”As for the Cultivation Manual, I will have some people to bring you a few of them,” he replied before leaving. But when Zhang Qing Feng returned to his room and listened to the report from the butler, his expression turn green from his decision earlier.
”That bastard child of mine concoct a better grade Wound Mending Pill by using trash medicine? How is that possible!” he almost cannot believe what he said, but from the word of the servants of Zhang's Family, Pills Masters, and people from Botanist Hall, how can that be false!
”Did I just let the God of Wealth went out to do what he likes?”
The next day, Zhang Wu Ji went to have a look at the plot of soil where the ten seeds are planted. Only three days have passed, so it was normal to not seeing any sprouts on the soil. But then, he walked over to where the watering can is placed, and tried to upgrade it.
