7 Prepared (1/2)

'This Blazing Sun Scripture is pretty weird. No wonder people burnt themselves to death. Slight mistakes in cultivation causes minute but a cumulative blockage in meridians, causing Qi deviation after some time.'

'I can easily write this down and give it to Ning Bi, but I wouldn't be able to answer any of her questions since I can't cultivate it.'

'How many Profound Points does it take to get this to intermediate-level comprehension?'

[Bazing Sun Scripture requires 12 Profound Points to advance to intermediate level]

'Alright, advance it to intermediate level'

[Blazing Sun Scripture (Mortal)]

Power: Very Weak

Comprehension: Intermediate (0/48)

Stage: Qi Condensation (0/13)

Han De could feel his understanding of the scripture transform to a whole new level.

'Truly an MC level scripture. Only perverted level people could cultivate this. I'm glad I don't have fire roots.'

Best way of transferring his knowledge was to record it on a scroll. Entering one of his study rooms, Han De grabbed a brush and started writing it down. After a minute he started tearing up the scroll because he realized he was writing in Latin alphabet, using English language no less.

'I can read seamlessly but writing requires muscle memory and habit. Even with a brush, I'm way more used to writing in English. I don't really notice it but I naturally think in this continent's language when talking to other people or reading scriptures. A side effect of getting another person's memory perhaps?'

Getting a new scroll, Han De started writing again, but this time he deliberately mulled over every character. The script that he was using now was very similar to Chinese, but since Han De gave up learning Chinese after a few days he remembered practically nothing about it.

'Thankfully previous Han De's mother was strict in teaching him calligraphy. It is slow, but I can recall his muscle memory in writing each character'

While waiting for the ink to dry, he switched his thoughts towards his own cultivation. Although he could use basic level Qi techniques to make it dry faster, he didn't want to risk it. The memory of his 0 to Mach 2 in 0.01 seconds flight was still fresh in his mind.

'I got 5 Light Element cultivation techniques. Derived Method token only produces an incomplete method. With 82 Profound Points and 4 Cultivation Method Fragments left, it's nowhere near enough.'

'Blazing Sun Scripture was an incomplete fire element technique, so using Profound Points to learn it instantly wasn't a waste. It would be better for me to learn these 5 manually first.'

Grabbing the now dry scroll, Han De headed for Ning Bi. He found her in a lotus position, trying to sense Qi strands. Han De could tell she was very close and only needed a tiny bit more effort.

'Her progress is impressive when you think about it. Her only exposure world of cultivation was through an exiled mortal civil servant which was her father, and that guiding uncle which was most likely at 1st stage of Qi Condensation throughout his entire life'

[Congratulations]

[Host's disciple Ning Bi successfully reached Qi Condensation Level 1]

[Issuing 5 Profound Points as a reward.]

Breaking into a genuine smile, Han De patiently waited for Ning Bi to exit her meditation. She had just learned how to manipulate Qi strands, some bit of experimentation due to curiosity was inevitable.

Ning Bi saw her master in front of her when she opened her eyes. Han De had the Patient Teacher B look equipped. He didn't waste any time and started to teach her about cultivation. How to circulate Qi, meridians, dantian, Qi deviation, pills, elixirs, formations, cultivation stages, and more. What he taught was common sense that every cultivator knew, but it was still a lot. He patiently answered any questions Ning Bi had and made sure she understood everything.

'Comprehension 8 is not a joke. Thankfully original Han De had good teachers, all I had to do was to retell their explanations from memory'

Putting a scroll in front of Ning B, Han De continued.

”This is Blazing Sun Scripture. It was an incomplete technique, but I rewrote it for you. The technique is highly compatible with you, it will be your main cultivation method for the Qi Condensation realm. This scroll contains both the scripture and some insights I thought you might find useful.”

Han De explained the scripture in detailed. He guided her while she cultivated and pointed out her mistakes. Once he was sure she properly understood, he left while saying some encouraging words.

Solving the short term issue of his disciple, the next day, Han De started working on his own cultivation. He was a lazy and average office worker in his past. After a transmigration one would think a person would work hard and cultivate to achieve immortality. That wasn't the case in reality, however. At least in Han De's case. He wasn't using his all to cultivate, but was using it to find a shortcut.

'This 'Light Through a Single Thought cultivation method is just too nonsensical. Half of what it says is just empty words. One sentence it seems like it is describing light, but the next sentence is literally gibberish. Through Heaven and Earth's transformation Yang becomes Yin? Ok?! How is that even relevant??!'

'I thought I could save some Profound Points but this thing is incomprehensible. Whatever, it's just 3 points, I'll just learn it through that'

Gritting his teeth, Han De spent the points and learned the cultivation method.

[Light Through a Single Thought]

Power: Extremely Weak

Comprehension: Beginner (0/6)

Stage: Qi Condensation (0/13)

Giving an involuntary sigh, Han De looked at the jade slip once again. 'Still feels mostly nonsensical, well no matter. Upgrade comprehension of this to Master level'

[Light Through a Single Thought Cultivation Method requires 32 Profound Points to master it]

'Sure, sure, just spend it already'

With knowledge filling his brain, Han De was both surprised and annoyed. 'I didn't expect cultivators to understand properties of light, but I guess geniuses are geniuses regardless of the world they live in.'

'So that nonsensical sentence, -Through Heaven and Earth's transformation Yang becomes Yin- actually meant to describe photon's behavior as a particle and a wave? How the hell could anyone infer that through something like this?!'

[Light Through a Single Thought]

Power: Extremely Weak

Comprehension: Master

Stage: Qi Condensation (0/13)

'There is no way I can comprehend these methods on my own in an acceptable time frame. I can learn that given enough time but maybe because I came from a different world, their way of describing phenomena is just too cryptic.'

'It's like these guys are sharing their knowledge, but they are doing it begrudgingly.'

'Maybe this is the reason why technology level is so low even though there are people that live for tens of thousands of years. If Newton was a cultivator, he wouldn't have published his laws of motion or his theory of gravity. Those would be either locked away in a sect where only highest elders could take a look maybe once a year, or would be placed in his legacy where it would rot for thousands of years until someone 'worthy' enough came and received it'

'If Einstein was a cultivator, E=MC^2 would be a profound revelation of natural laws, there would be an entire profound scripture about it and no one would even know'

[Profound Points: 47]

'No way it is enough for 5 methods, maybe I can increase Starfall Scripture but that would be it.'

[Starfall Scripture requires 52 Profound Points to master]

[Insufficient Profound Points]

*siigh* 'Will I receive some points when Ning Bi reaches Qi Condensation level 2? I should get more disciples but where could I begin to look for another MC?'

Han De looked at the cultivation idiot's memories. Being a genius his speed was unprecedented. Starfall Scripture was highly compatible with him. After reaching Qi Condensation, it took him only a month to reach level 2. A true genius.

'A month isn't bad. Ning Bi being an MC she probably could do it in 2 weeks. Blazing Sun is also highly compatible with her, so let's say a week or two?'

[Congratulations]

[Host's disciple Ning Bi successfully reached Qi Condensation Level 2]

[Issuing 15 Profound Points as a reward.]

'F#$& that wasn't even 24 hours.' Han De took a deep breath.
