Cultivation Online

After leaving Pang City, Yuan and Xiao Hua flew straight towards Liang City. However, because of Yuan’s low cultivation base, they needed multiple breaks in between their journey.

”I am going to eat the Mountain Lord’s monster core now,” Yuan suddenly said during their third break.

A few moments later, he popped the monster core into his mouth like a piece of candy before swallowing the sweetness.

«Heaven Refining Physique activated»

«311,000,000 Qi has been refined from the Black Beast’s Monster Core»

307,680,000/307,680,000

«You have absorbed enough Qi for a breakthrough»

«You have reached the Fifth Level Spirit Warrior»

«+3,000 Stats»

480,500,000/615,360,000

After consuming the Mountain Lord’s Monster Core, Yuan could feel his exhausted energy instantly recover to the brim and more.

He then turned to look at his status screen.

Seeing these large numbers, Yuan couldn’t help but wonder if it was normal for Cultivators at his level to have such high stats.

He then looked at his available skills.

«Consuming Heaven Technique» «Mastery Level: 2»

«Enhanced Strength»

«Weak Poison Resistance»

«Novice Sword Mastery»

Despite having so many techniques at hand, Yuan felt like he only had one or two from using the same technique over and over again. However, it was not as though there was any need for him to use the other techniques when Bloody Sword Strike is more than enough to handle most threats with ease.

”Are you okay, Brother Yuan?” Xiao Hua asked him in a worried tone after noticing that he had been staring at the empty air with a dazed face, worrying that he might have finally gone crazy from eating too many monster cores.

”Oh, I’m fine. I was just thinking about something,” he said a moment later.

”Anyway, let’s continue our journey now that I am full of energy again.”

Xiao Hua nodded, and they returned to the sky shortly later.

”...”

”...”

”...”

”Do we need to rest again?” Xiao Hua asked him an hour later.

Yuan shook his head and spoke in a relaxed tone, ”No, I am still filled with energy. I cannot believe how much stronger I got just from one level.”

”The higher your cultivation, the more difference between each level.” Xiao Hua said to him.

After flying for another hour, Yuan was finally beginning to feel tired, so they rested for half an hour, and they continued this routine until they reached Liang City.

”Finally… I can finally see the city!” Yuan spoke with teary eyes when he saw the tall city walls in the distance. It has been over 12 hours since they left Pang City, and the entire journey was simply mentally exhausting for someone like Yuan who has never traveled such a long distance in one go before.

Sometime later, they descended near the entrance where there was a decently long queue of people waiting to get inside the city.

However, when the guards saw how Yuan and Xiao Hua appeared out of nowhere from the skies, they immediately ignored the people in the line and rushed towards them.

”Welcome to our Liang City, Senior Cultivators. If there’s anything you need, please let us assist you.” The guards spoke after politely bowing to them.

”We’re here for the Teleportation Device,” said Yuan. ”It’s here, right?”

”That is correct. Our Liang City indeed has a Teleportation Device. However, it has a travel distance limit of 70,000 miles.”

”That’s more than enough. I only intend on traveling to Spring City, which should be around 30,000 miles away.”

”I understand. Please come with me, I will lead you to the Teleportation Device.”

Yuan nodded and followed one of the guards into the city while the other guards returned to assist the other people.

Sometime later, they reached the center of Liang City, where the Teleportation Device was in the middle of a crowded square street.

”That’s the Teleportation Device?” Yuan raised his eyebrows in a surprised manner after seeing the large circular object that seemed to be made of some kind of metallic material. It looked like a massive round mirror but without the glass in the middle, and there was even a stage right before it.

”Is there anything else you need from me, Seniors?” The guard asked them after they arrived.

”No, this is all… Thank you for taking the time to bring us here.” Yuan said to him.

”Please, you don’t even need to mention it. I am merely doing my job.”

The guard left a few moments later, leaving Yuan and Xiao Hua standing before the Teleportation Device.

”Where would you like to go?” An old man with a profound aura standing beside the Teleportation Device suddenly spoke to Yuan after noticing their presence.

”Spring City,” he said.

”Spring City, huh. That would be 30,247 miles from here.” The old man said to him.

”How much will it cost?”

”350,000 gold coins.” The old man quickly responded.

’That much?!’ Yuan cried inwardly. Although he had prepared himself for it, the price still shocked him greatly.

Seeing Yuan’s dumbfounded expression, the old man said, ”It requires an enormous amount of spiritual energy to operate the Teleportation Device; it’s only natural it’ll cost this much.”

”Do you still want to use it?”

Yuan quickly nodded, ”Yes, I do.”

The old man then extended his wrinkly hands towards Yuan, signaling him for the payment.

Seeing this, Yuan sighed inwardly before taking out his storage pouch and handing the old man the money.
