21 Pride (1/2)
”Yes, I accept.” Dean answered with a nod, he didn't want to postpone the mission now he didn't want to make the mission any harder for him in the future.
[ Ding, good luck on the mission host.]
After accepting the mission Dean didn't immediately stood up, he remained seated on the floor and kept his eyes tight closed and begun absorbing the energy around him, he started circulating his chaotic void qi and let it pass through all over his meridians.
Body Refinement is a repeated cycle of heavenly running inside the body in order to make the muscles, the bones, all the way to the internal organs and this was the proper way of refining the body, the only difference in what he was doing was the direction where the heavenly qi goes.
All of his heavenly qi were circulating in his body and being directed to his void bead, his void body was centered around this bead like a core and the more he nurture it the more it will become stronger same as his body, and reaching a certain point the bead will emit a black light signifying that he had advance.
He had just made a breakthrough earlier and the he's not about to waste any more time, he inly have a year to reach the next realm and if he took for account the amount of time that he would need in order to become a proper caster and an artificer Dean needed to reach the ninth level in 6 months' time.
Although there was a way to improve his cultivation faster than now like spiritual plants and hastening the heavenly qi's circulation and aggressively making the void bead absorb the heavenly qi and reach the next level but if he did that his foundation will become weak resulting his power weaker in the future, as for the other way he didn't have that much of a resources and if he wanted to procure the resources that he needed Dean only have one way of doing that.
The enrollment of the academy will be happening in the next 5 days, a disciple in an academy like this will usually get an allowance every month that will help the students improve faster, this allowance was most likely a level ”Qi Crystal” that holds a concentrate amount of heavenly qi, this was the thing that Dean was after.
---- A Qi Crystal that contains a vast amount of heavenly and those heavenly qi are going to help me advance and because the qi crystal is something that only have to absorb slowly I wouldn't need to make the qi in the air enter my meridians hastily so my foundation wouldn't be affected at all. ----
But for him to do this he would need to become a student of the academy but he didn't have time to become a helper to Gilet if focus on cultivation and he didn't want that to happen either. Gilet, based on what he knew must be an artificer that holds a high position in the academy.
---- That guy may be weird but he must have enough skill to act like that in the forging hall so he must be skilled in forging enough to be acknowledge by the others around him, and with a perfect image of an artificer in front of me I wouldn't want to let this go, so I guess I will have to make Gilet let me enroll while letting me help me in forging. ----
Thinking about this, Dean started coming up of a way to make this happen. Well he still have the choice, of using the resources or his pay he get from here to buy some medicinal plants to help him in cultivation but that would take time and he might not make it to the deadline of the mission.
As he was thinking of this a shout came from outside of his room ”Dean, come out and meet me here!” Dean started standing up, he went to the door and opened it from the inside. As he opened the door the image of Gilet appeared in front of him.
