Chapter 45 - 45 Leaving Chi Village
“Is this the incomplete cultivation method?” Upon hearing this, Wang Ping showed an astonished and curious expression.
The cultivation method that had been passed down for a millennium had an astonishing origin.
A thousand years was an overly long time, which could allow many things to be lost in the long river of history.
Just like the history of China, it is vast, profound, and unrivaled, but it is difficult to know whether some of the history is real or fabricated by later generations.
Time is ruthless and can bury too many things, leaving future generations unaware of the truth of history.
This millennium-old cultivation method, handed down from the Chi Clan, despite being incomplete, was still extremely valuable. “Chief, how would you rank this cultivation method?”
Wang Ping, feeling a bit of regret, asked.
“Earth-tier top-grade,” the chief answered. “This cultivation method is divided into the upper, middle, and lower volumes. Each volume has astounding secret techniques. And this incomplete ancient book you hold is the lower volume.”
“If it were the upper volume, you could still cultivate with it, although only the first three levels of the technique. But as an Earth-tier top-grade cultivation method, its power is ultimately much stronger than other techniques, surpassing the Earth middle tier, and only the Earth upper tier cultivated to a profound extent can be on par with it.”
The chief sighed as he gently stroked the yellowed ancient book.
This incomplete cultivation method bore too much history. Every time he looked at it, he couldn’t help but imagine how glorious the original Red Race was, and how invincible his ancestors had been after practicing the astounding technique, slaying countless enemies.
However, in the end, when he looked at the situation in Chi Village, he could only be filled with disappointment and sorrow.
“So it’s the lower volume, what a pity,” Wang Ping said with some regret.
Should the upper volume be obtained, his cultivation speed would undoubtedly be much faster.
Although the Earth-level lower-Tier martial Skill – Sword Essence Skill from the Sword Spirit Sect is quite good, the gap between cultivation method tiers and the level of cultivation is vast, with every level higher making a huge difference.
Not to mention the gap between Earth lower tier and Earth-tier top-grade. Even an incomplete Earth-tier top-grade cultivation method is not something an Earth lower tier can compare to.
However, it is quite normal for the village chief not to have the upper volume.
If the village chief had the upper volume, he would have given it to the villagers for cultivation, and they wouldn’t have practiced the self-made Fire Spirit Skill.
“This cultivation method is called Red Fire Skill and is most suitable for Fire Attribute cultivators to practice. If you have great fortune and can find the other two volumes of the method, you will surely be able to dominate your peers and become invincible in the world.”
The village chief handed Wang Ping the yellowed ancient book in his hand, speaking earnestly.
“Thank you, Chief,” Wang Ping solemnly said as he received the book and placed it into his storage ring.
Although he didn’t think he had any great fortune to easily find the two other volumes of the method, he did have the Life Simulator where he could run a few more simulations, perhaps to find some clues.
In such a case, he might be able to bring together the three volumes of the method, allowing the powerful Red Fire Skill to reappear in the world.
Next, the village chief and Wang Ping returned to the others, ready to have dinner together.
“Come on, Wang Ping boy, you’re leaving soon, we won’t stop drinking tonight until we’re all drunk. ‘
Chih Hu hooked Wang Ping’s neck and spoke enthusiastically.
“You lost all the meat and wine to me today, so you don’t qualify for drinking.” Wang Ping said seriously to Chih Hu.
“What are you talking about? Our bet was just verbal agreement; it doesn’t count for anything.”
Chih Hu’s face stiffened, and then he started making faces at Wang Ping, looking nothing like an elder.
To drink and eat meat, he was really desperate.
Upon hearing this, everyone let out a collective hiss.
“Uncle Chih Hu, although I never meant to make you keep your promise and was just joking with you, you really are quite shameless.”
Wang Ping was speechless. In the face of someone so addicted to drinking, he really didn’t need to save face just for the sake of alcohol.
Of course, Wang Ping initially just said those words in jest and didn’t mean for them to be taken seriously.
“Cough, you wicked boy…” Chih Hu blushed, coughed, and looked extremely embarrassed.lf he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have said that. Now he has utterly embarrassed himself.
Seeing Chih Hu like this, everyone burst into laughter, making the atmosphere lively.
The next day, in the early morning, Wang Ping bid farewell to the people of Chi Village and left.
Of course, this place was located deep within the Black Wind Forest, where ordinary Innate Realm experts would face danger if they traveled alone.
However, with Wang Ping’s current cultivation level, as long as he didn’t venture too deep, there wouldn’t be any danger.
After that, Wang Ping continued on his journey, not encountering any danger.
Although he encountered a tier-five monster beast on the way, the beast had gained some intelligence and knew that Wang Ping was not easy to mess with, so it didn’t dare to attack him.
At sunset, Wang Ping arrived at Black Wind Town under the beautiful sky.
Because of his previous life experiences, Wang Ping was quite familiar with
Black Wind Town.
After all, he had lived in Black Wind Town for about a year.
Soon, Wang Ping went to the first floor of the inn and ordered many dishes. “Sir, it’s quite boring to eat and drink alone. Why don’t we combine tables?” , said one of the men seated at the table across from him.
“My… lord, this is not appropriate. You are of noble status and should not share a table with commoners, ” a young woman responded sharply.
At the table opposite Wang Ping, there were three customers waiting for their dishes — a young man and two females.
The young man appeared to be around fifteen years old, clutching a fan engraved with a phoenix pattern. Dressed in a spotless white robe with smooth hair and fair skin, he was extraordinarily handsome, causing many young girls to blush in shame.
One of the two women seated with him was good-looking, also around fifteen to sixteen years old, and seemed to be the young man’s servant.
The other one was an old woman who looked aged, but her eyes were clear and sharp, staring intently at Wang Ping as if deep in thought.
It was the handsome young man and the girl who seemed to be a servant who had just spoken.
Wang Ping looked up at the three people with a deep gaze.
He didn’t expect to encounter a high-ranking expert just after leaving the Black Wind Forest and entering Black Wind Town.
The handsome young man, although young, had an astonishing cultivation level, having reached the 7th-Tier of the Post-Heaven Realm.
The so-called servant girl also had a 2nd -Tier Post-Heaven Realm cultivation level, demonstrating exceptional talent.
Lastly, the old woman was the most terrifying one, with an unmeasurable cultivation level, making her a Spiritual Realm Expert.
Wang Ping recalled that during his previous life experience, he had come to this inn after leaving Black Wind Forest. However, he had never encountered such a group before.
Of course, he had left Chi Village more than a month later during his previous life experience, so it was natural to encounter different people this time.
“My name is Yuan Xia. May I know your name, sir?” the handsome young man named Yuan Xia asked Wang Ping.
Seeing that the other party didn’t harbor ill intentions, Wang Ping replied, “My name is Wang Ping.”
“Wang Ping, huh? Since we’ve met by chance, why not become friends?” said Yuan Xia while fanning himself with a smile.
“Sure,” Wang Ping nodded nonchalantly, giving the old woman a sidelong glance.
“In that case, let’s combine tables, so it’s more lively,” suggested Yuan Xia enthusiastically. He then combined the two tables and called the waiter,
“Waiter, bring the best dishes and wine you have.”
“Understood!” The waiter immediately responded with a smile.
“So, where are you from, Brother Wang?” asked Yuan Xia curiously. “You are so young and yet have a cultivation level that even I cannot see through. It is truly an extraordinary talent. I wonder why I have never heard of you before.”
Wang Ping appeared to be around twenty years old, and he must have been at least a 7th -Tier Post-Heaven Realm cultivator. Although his talent was probably not as extraordinary as Yuan Xia’s and Bai Tianhong’s, he shouldn’t be an unknown figure..
