Chapter 11: First Disciple
Yun Liao nodded and began to explain the reason behind charging people a fee if they wanted to use the gravity field. He also explained the benefits of cultivating in the gravity field to Yang Lele.
However, before Yang Lele even finished hearing, he already interrupted Yun Liao’s words. "Isn’t this a little too fake? How could there be such a magical place in the world?"
After that, Yun Liao said a bunch of stuff continuously, but Yang Lele found it increasingly absurd the more he listened.
"I’m someone who doesn’t lie," said Yun Liao.
"There’s no proof, so you can lie however you want to. But I, Yang Lele, am not a fool. It would be strange if I believed in you guys. Butler, let’s leave. Let us head to the Reliance Sect for a look."
After speaking, he directly wanted to leave.
Even as Yang Lele was leaving, his gaze was like how one would stare at swindlers, and it made Yun Liao somewhat angry. "I’m an expert at the thirteenth level of Body Refinement from Xingyue City. Moreover, as someone with a net worth of over several tens of thousands of gold, why would I lie to a puny cultivator at the fifth level of Body Refinement like you?"
Thirteenth level of the Body Refinement Realm?
Yang Lele doubtfully stared at the man before him.
If a person reached the fifth level of Body Refinement at 15 years old, he or she could become the core disciple of a 1-star sect or even join a 3-stars sect.
Hence, there was no need to mention someone who could reach the thirteenth level of Body Refinement Realm at 20 years old. Even the sect leader of a 1-star sect might not be that amazing.
How could such a genius be in this starless Immortal Sect?
After that, Yang Lele laughed. "You are at the thirteenth level of Body Refinement? You appear to be merely twenty years old. If you really could reach the thirteen level at 20 years old, why would you stay in this small Cangwu City?"
Hearing this, Wen Ping suppressed his laughter and looked at Yun Liao. A powerful cultivator at the thirteenth level of Body Refinement was actually being treated as a swindler.
This was something very funny.
"He’s already thirty and merely has a face that induces jealousy. However, you are the second person who ever looked down on him. As for the first guy, if it wasn’t for me stopping him, he would have broken that guy’s arm. Elder Yun, I won’t stop you a second time. Please, feel free."
When Yun Liao heard this, his gaze gradually turned cold, and his aura continuously rose. He spoke icily, "You will pay a price for the words you said."
Upon sensing the vast and powerful aura, Yang Lele’s countenance changed.
The person before him was an extremely strong cultivator. However, Yang Lele wasn’t terrified either. (So what if he is stronger? Why should I be afraid?)
"Come then!"
As the sound of his voice ended, Yang Lele saw Yun Liao’s hand being coated with a layer of faint blue energy that resembled flames.
Upon seeing this, Yang Lele was finally frightened.
Swish~
Yang Lele’s body hurriedly moved.
Without even thinking about it, he immediately sank into a deep bow of 90 degrees!
"Senior, I was wrong."
External release of inner qi!
This was the sign of an expert at the thirteenth level of Body Refinement!
What a joke, if he suffered a slap, wouldn’t his face be crooked henceforth?
Ka!
The teacup in Wen Ping’s hands cracked due to his carelessness.
"Haha! This brat is really interesting!" said Wen Ping.
On the other hand, Yun Liao forcefully endured the flames of anger in his heart. Since the other party had acted like this, it wouldn’t be too good if he still attacked. Hence, he could only snort and berate him, "Scram!"
"Just go, kid. Although you barely meet the requirement of joining my Immortal Sect, it’s a pity that you just antagonized the instructor elder of my Immortal Sect that’s at the thirteenth level of the Body Refinement Realm. If you still want to join the Immortal Sect, I can only say that there will be countless days of suffering ahead for you."
After speaking, Wen Ping stood up and stripped off his upper clothes that were drenched in sweat.
Just when he was about to enter the gravity field, Yang Lele brushed aside the old butler who was trying to hold him back. He then rushed toward Wen Ping and spoke.
"Sect Leader, I want to join the Immortal Sect."
"Are you sure?"
Wen Ping subconsciously cast a glance at Yun Liao.
"I’m sure!"
"This is something you said yourself. In that case, pay the entry fee first. After that, listen to the arrangement of Elder Yun."
"Yes."
Yang Lele nodded. He quickly got the old butler to take out a banknote of 100 gold and passed it to Wen Ping.
"Sect leader, this is worth 100 gold coins. Today, I came out in a rush and didn’t bring so much money, so can I owe 900 gold first? I will head back first thing in the morning and bring the rest of the money."
"Sorry, this place is a sect and not a merchant store, we won’t negotiate. Since you will bring the money tomorrow, you can only be considered a disciple of my Immortal Sect starting from tomorrow." Wen Ping didn’t reach out to take the 100 gold banknote. Rather, he pointed at the gravity field. "Do you want to go in for a try?"
"I want!"
Yang Lele nodded repeatedly.
...
After Yang Lele got the butler to leave first, he tossed 30 gold coins into the metal box and walked into the gravity field.
"The pressure is truly as heavy as a mountain." Upon sensing that his body suddenly got much heavier than before, Yang Lele felt extremely shocked in his heart.
Hearing about it was one thing, but experiencing it for himself was another.
If it wasn’t for him standing in here, even if someone took 10,000 gold coins out, he wouldn’t believe that there would be such a special place.
He cycled in his qi in a cultivation circle according to his cultivation art and indeed, the circulation speed was like what Elder Yun had told him. It increased by 9x.
After that, the voice of Wen Ping who was standing at the side floated over. "Choose the combat mode and try it out."
"Oh, alright," Yang Lele responded.
After seeing the two choices that popped up before him, Yang Lele chose the second option with no hesitation.
...
During the night.
Yang Lele was continuously running around in the gravity field. However, his speed wasn’t very fast, and he could only barely dodge one out of the four laser beams.
At this moment, sweat already drenched his shirt and kept dripping down his chin. He was also panting heavily.
But although he was tired, he was happy!
Actually, he had a secret. The reason why he could break through four cultivation levels in a single year was due to the cultivation art he had obtained in the mountains. It was a superior-grade yellow-tier cultivation art, and if he cultivated it to the major completion level, he would be able to enter the Mystic Realm.
Currently, he was only at the entry level, but even so, the benefits it had brought him were exceedingly great.
However, he discovered that after he had reached the entry level, he seemed to have no hopes of reaching the minor completion level. It was like there was an invisible wall blocking him.
He didn’t dare to tell anyone about this as he was afraid the other party might covet his cultivation art.
But in this gravity field, that invisible wall seemed to become thinner. The mountain-like wall that was blocking the door to the minor completion realm was now as thin as a curtain.
Once he poked a hole through it, he would be able to reach minor completion.
Also, he estimated that he would at most need one more week of cultivation to poke through. In fact, he might not even need a week.
Now he finally understood why he was attracted to this declined Immortal Sect.
So the answer was this gravity field.
"Let alone the fact that the entry fee is 1,000 gold, even if it was 10,000 gold, I would be willing to pay as well." Yang Lele secretly determined that he would bring the money here first thing in the morning and join the Immortal Sect. From then on, he would cultivate in the Immortal Sect.
In the midst of his thoughts, Wen Ping’s voice casually drifted over. "It’s already so late, are you still not planning to leave?"
"No hurry."
Yang Lele nodded, his glance inadvertently turning to Wen Ping as he let out a huge smile.
When Yang Lele lifted his head and saw that the sky had turned completely dark, he stopped cultivating and ran down the mountain without even turning his head back.
However, he encountered Yun Liao when he was halfway down.
Yun Liao had a note of warning in his tone as he told Yang Lele not to spread the matter about the gravity field. It was to avoid attracting unnecessary trouble.
Yang Lele nodded, but Yun Liao’s words had reminded him of another thing.
He had a friend that was currently considering whether to join a sect or not. Why didn’t he pull her to join the Immortal Sect along with him?
After seeking Yun Liao’s opinion and seeing that there were no objections, Yang Lele grew happy and quickly departed.
