Primordial Cultivator-Chapter 4: Sect’s Martial Hall
Chapter 4: Sect’s Martial Hall
Following the sect elder, Yang Wei kept quiet all this time except for the fact that he has someone bugging him.
“You’re called Yang Wei, right? Why are you so quiet and serious? Are you always like this? Don’t you find it boring to be this serious?” Meng Yan walks a bit closer to Yang Wei and bombards him with a series of questions.
Yang Wei has a headache from this girl because not only was she talkative, he can feel a murderous aura from multiple youths.
He didn’t want to be a target and is fully devoted to being a cultivator. Although he wanted to shrug her off, he couldn’t do it because he owes her a favor.
Without her outburst and courage to shout at the sect elder, he would probably be somewhere else without a goal.
“I’m quiet because I don’t like to bother myself with stuff that isn’t worth my time.” Being pestered repeatedly, Yang Wei finally replies to Meng Yan with a respectful tone.
He’s not ignorant to believe that this girl isn’t anything special. Heck, she could probably be someone in an influential family that has more authority over a third-rate sect.
Yang Wei’s prediction was not much off the point because she was the top of the influential family. She can easily get someone’s family to be annihilated if she complains to her father.
“Hmm, is that so? Then where are you from since I have never seen you before.” Meng Yan continues to ask even more questions.
This only enrages the male even more, seeing how their goddess is now getting cozier with a beggar looking human, who doesn’t deserve her attention.
The sect elder notices this but he doesn’t dare interrupt the little princess. He thought that she was just finding new excitement in a new toy so he just ignored them as he continued to guide the youth.
After many twists and turns, the sect elder finally stopped in a place called Martial Hall.
“This place is where our cultivation techniques are located. Before you enter, let me give you a brief explanation of the so-called cultivation techniques.” The sect elder said and everyone can see the brilliant lighting in this place.f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂
There are numerous shelf-case stuffed with manual techniques and stair case to the upper floor. It was even bigger than a library but as usual, there was a person on a desk to register for people.
“There are two types of techniques in our martial hall and they are martial techniques and body techniques here. Although there are many more types techniques such as the soul technique that most alchemists use, they are too valuable for our sect to obtain.”
The sect elder waited a while before continuing his speech to the excited new disciples because this is the main event. Joining a sect is to be able to cultivate a martial technique since they’re only available to sects or the top influential families within the kingdom.
Yang Wei who almost had a migraine from being pestered by Meng Yan continuously finally relaxed.
Hearing the sect elder’s voice, Yang Wei finally understood that cultivation techniques have multiple categories.
Once the sect elder finishes explaining what the Martial Hall is for, he continues on with the rules and the time they can spend there.
Usually, the outer core disciple could only have 30 minutes to select their technique before having to leave.
Failure to do so would result in punishment and depending on the severity, they could even be expelled from the sect.
However, since this is their first time, they can have 2 hours to choose two techniques and the sect elder has suggested choosing one martial, one body technique.
Yang Wei tried to pay close attention to the words but is having difficulty doing so. The reason is simple, Meng Yan who has way better martial and body technique did not need any of this third-rate sect resource.
She only came here to have some fun so she continues to bother Yang Wei who is different from the youths that she’s always met.
Her interest in him only increased as he didn’t even spare much of a glance toward her throughout their walk. If it were other youths, they would be smiling like a fool while thanking heaven for this chance.
Therefore, she didn’t care about the sect elder talking about the sect martial hall and continued to pester a poor boy who wanted to listen.
Yang Wei has been struggling very hard to control his emotion and whenever he remembers that she was the only one who spoke up to help him, his anger completely vanishes.
A very ugly smile appeared on Yang Wei’s face as he didn’t know how to get rid of this person who clearly didn’t care about the sect elder’s word.
His mindset of this little princess definitely has better treatment and resources elsewhere otherwise, she wouldn’t be this uncaring of this seemingly grand martial hall.
“U-Uh, Meng Yan, can you leave me alone for a bit because I’m trying to hear the sect elder and enquire more information to pick a martial technique suitable for me.” This was the second time Yang Wei has spoken to a person ever since appearing in the sect.
Trying to avoid trouble but only to attract more, Yang Wei could only curse his luck to encounter this little princess. He really doesn’t know how to behave or act around a female since he was always alone after his parents died.
“Hmm, is this your way of returning a favor to a person who spoke up against the sect elder to have you enter the sect?”
“….”
Yang Wei tried to open his mouth to reply but have nothing going in his mind. He will never repay gratitude with an ungrateful attitude and kick his benefactor.
Yang Wei could only surrender and allow her to continue to pester him. This time, Yang Wei decided to answer her questions in a lightning fashion so she will have to think of more questions.
His strategy works as Meng Yan went to pondering mode and taking advantage of this time, Yang Wei was able to hear some crucial stuff from the sect elder.
Martial techniques are divided into 3 ranks Earth, Sky and Heaven, which are further divided into Low, Middle and High.
This sect only has technique with a Low Sky rank technique and they are only for the core disciple.
For new outer disciples like Yang Wei, they could only choose a technique between Low and Middle Earth rank technique.
Although it’s a low technique, for Yang Wei who has never gotten one in hand, he was jubilant.𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶
That was until Meng Yan found another question that is difficult for him to answer.
“Right, Yang Wei, what is your cultivation rank?”
“I-I have barely reached the 1st stage of Qi Condensation and my foundation is extremely s-shaky.” Yang Wei has finally reached the 1st stage after his journey to this kingdom where he pushed his body to the limit.
He did not know much about how to consolidate one foundation so although he’s now in the 1st stage, he was only a bit better than mortals.
“I see and despite being only in the 1st stage when everyone here is almost 2nd and above, you don’t seem too depressed.”
“That’s because our starting point is different, to begin with. I was born in a poor family so I could only rely on myself to cultivate while they have a good family to provide them with resources.” Yang Wei replied with a nonchalant expression.
Even though his starting point was different from others, he will never blame himself for being born poor. His parents may have died but they have taken care of him with love and he could only grit his teeth, knowing it was also due to him that his parents met with such an end.
His parents have never blamed him for his action and only told him that if they were stronger, the result would have been different.
Not blaming him, Yang Wei has felt his heart being stabbed multiple times because they still smile at him during their final moment.
Yang Wei’s emotion has been going uncontrollably but in the end, he calms his mind and returns to normal.
Meng Yan didn’t notice a change in Yang Wei because his emotion was hidden deep inside him and his outer appearance remained the same throughout.
