Chapter 91 Increased Cultivation
"What? My cultivation went up? How did this happen? So this must be what he wanted to do." I realized. My dantian had increased in size substantially. The cultivation world was a marvel of threes, and getting to the third layer of the foundation establishment was an important step.
Li Tian stopped pushing Qi into my dantian now, and slowly, all the Qi within my body started settling. I finally had some time to catch a breath. I took this time to look into my body, and see what the changes were. The influx of Qi wrecked my body, but it also healed it almost immediately. It was as if nothing had happened.
The color of the Qi in my dantian was pure white though, and it was like milk in a bottle. Without any attribute, my master had achieved his goal. But this raised a few more questions.
"Without my attribute, will I be able to perform the Blue Dragon Spear art?" I asked.
"Of course, you will. And because you have also increased in cultivation, the power you will output will be much more than before. Just one more minor realm, and you will be able to qualify for the selection into the inner sect." Li Tian said.
"The inner sect. What is the difference between the outer and the inner sect? What benefits will I get?" I asked.
"What benefits will you get? Every month, Outer Sect disciples will get one Foundation Nourishing Pill. But the inner sect also has disciples within the Core Formation Realm. The disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage get three Foundation Nourishing Pills, as well as the guidance of an elder for their cultivation. The outer sect can only study under the deacons. But that doesn't apply to you. You have me after all." Li Tian said.
"I also shouldn't care about the Foundation Nourishing pills. But my most important question. Are spirit coins worth anything in the sect?" I asked.
"The only currency allowed in here are Contribution Points. We are not running a charity here. You will have to work to earn what you get. All disciples are sent to missions, and in return they get the rewards and resources that they do. Newcomers are exempt from missions for the first three months, but after that you have to start going out." Li Tian said, shaking his head.
"But is there any way that I can convert my spirit coins into contribution points?" I asked.
"Sure. One contribution point costs ten thousand spirit coins, and you can only exchange ten contribution points a month with this rate." Li Tian nodded.
"What?! That expensive? But what can I get for that much? What do I get for a single contribution point? Can I buy spirit herbs?" I asked.
"You are an alchemist, aren't you? At the least, you are trying to become one." Li Tian suddenly said.
"I gave it away quite clearly, didn't I?" I chuckled.
"You can get quite a few spirit herbs with ten contribution points. But that aside, focusing on the alchemist path and the martial path at once is a death wish. No matter how big a genius, you will not be able to focus on one of them enough." Li Tian said.
"I am not focusing on the alchemist path. Just think of it as a hobby that I do in the past time. I spend very little of my time on it." I said.
"And, the system tells me what to do, so I don't need to spend any time learning how to synthesize any pills." I thought inside, chuckling at the cheat that I had.
"As an alchemist, you are allowed to make pills and sell them for a profit. There are far too few alchemists in this world, and every sect needs them. That is why there is a separate division in the sect where we send people who are talented in that path." Li Tian said.
"I am not interested in going to that branch. I wish to continue in your tutelage. I need to grow stronger. Just a day with you and I have crossed a minor realm. I can only imagine how strong I will grow in the next three years." I shook my head.
"Do not grow over confident. But now is the time for you to rest. You have overdrafted your body, and you need to allow your body to get used to the foreign Qi within you, and assimilate with it. For the next three days, you are not allowed to use any skill, or allowed to take in any Qi from your surroundings. Just sit still and do nothing." Li Tian said.
"Sit still and do nothing? That sounds like more torture than what you just put me through." I grumbled, but my master already left by then! He vanished into thin air.
I looked around and confirmed that the room was empty.
"System homepage." I said.

"Not much of a change. Just some increase in my strength and speed, as usual." I nodded. Now, with this increase in Qi, Strength and speed, I actually stood a chance against Cai Lien. I might be able to beat her.
I looked at the screen with a proud and smug face.
Swish!
"I just realized, I wanted to say something to that small friend inside of you as well." Li Tian reappeared in front of me and said.
