Chapter 183 - Uncle Feng's Evaluation
With Krune back to the Blacksmith Hall, his 'personal' blacksmiths also returned to answer his questions. The teaching part of the program would extend for five months, and Krune intends to achieve the Five Silver Stars Blacksmith Rank by the end.
Krune then spent around a week in the Blacksmith Hall without leaving. During that time, Krune and Feifei just exchanged a few messages through the communicator. Of course, Krune also sent a few messages to Tasier and Lofa, who were also there. Fortunately, it seemed that Lofa was finally willing to answer.
"I talked a little with Feifei too. Although it still bothers me that you kept with her, I have to admit that she is a good girl. She doesn't act like a spoiled child of a Great Clan like some of my cousins do back in Makui Planet. In fact, she is very playful. Now that I decided to not bother with the two of you anymore, she turned out to be very friendly."
Krune nodded and said.
"Oh, that's good then. Anyway, I have Master to teach me, so I'm not participating in this part of the program. But you are different, so make sure to use this opportunity right."
Lofa didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Krune seemed like he didn't care about what happened anymore. In fact, she is sure that he really didn't. Any other person would feel awkward in this situation, but that wisp really thought about it as nothing.
'I guess this is good.'
Lofa then answered.
"Don't worry, I will make sure to pay attention to everything."
Krune then ended the call and called Tasier after.
"Hahaha! This grandfather here is doing great! I think I might be able to reach the second stage of the Core Formation Realm by the end of the next month."
Krune then said.
"That's to be expected. You broke into the Core Formation Realm just as the Spiritual Pool opened, so you still had a lot of time to use it for cultivation. Besides, with the elders teaching you now, it goes without saying that you will improve even more."
Tasier nodded.
"Exactly! One of the inner elders here is a Lightning Eagle, and our way of doing things is very similar. So he had been helping me a lot. In fact, he is impressed with my talent for the elements that he is best at. He said that depending on my progress by the end of the five months, he might take me as a disciple too!"
Tasier then continued.
"Oh, there is one more thing. After all these months, I'm very close to finishing the last Pseudo Energy Meridians. The elders of my clan back in the makui Planet had also sent a lot of spirit stones for me. So I reckon that right after I create the Spiritual Energy Meridians, my improvement during this program will soar! Not to mention that I have enough spirit stones to open quite a few if not all nine Meridians by that time."
Krune laughed after hearing that.
"That's right, you told your Thunder Hawk clan is quite a big one back in the Makui Planet. Even if the Makui Planet is small, they sure have enough spirit stones if they focus solely on you. Not to mention that they never expected you to enter the Divine Path Sect, so they will definitely do their best to help with your cultivation. After all, it is the same as helping their own clan."
Tasier nodded.
"Right! Oh, I believe that Lofa isn't too far either. But I haven't asked her how many she had built so far. Anyway, I have some things to do, so I will see you later. Also, you should receive the payment for the Soul Healing Pill anytime now."
Krune nodded and then finished the call. He had never been afraid that Tasier wouldn't pay to start with.
"They are doing their best, so I must not lag behind."
In the third week, Feifei and Krune finally got some free time, and with Uncle Feng's help, she slipped by the grand elder's watch. She then went to Krune's house to see what the Myriad Energy Technique is really about. Inside, Ruik and Krune were talking a little while they waited for Feifei to arrive. As for Lakin, he went somewhere with Cassy. From the looks of it, the two of them are doing quite well together.
Krune then received a message that Feifei was already there and then opened the house protection formation.
The first thing Feifei did after entering was to give Krune a hug!
"Last time those annoying guys that father arranged to come with me were in the way, so I couldn't do it. But this time, I will spend a lot of time with you."
Even Krune had to admit that it made him quite embarrassed. As for Ruik, he just snorted at the scene.
"I won't stay here pretending that I can't see you two. Krune, if you need something, let me know later."
Uncle Feng also felt quite awkward, but he can't leave Feifei's side, so he just pretended that he was seeing nothing.
Krune then patted Feifei's head and said.
"Alright, I won't be able to show you the Myriad Energy Techniques like this."
Only then did Feifei let Krune go.
Krune also looked at Uncle Feng and called him over.
"Uncle Feng, I will pass it to you too. Although I can't say if it is of any use at your Realm, you can give it a try and see if you like it."
From the very moment that Krune found about the Myriad Energies Technique, he had made his mind to pass it over to Feifei and Uncle Feng. It was only because of them back in the Makui Planet that Krune had a chance to find about it. So whether they want to keep it a secret or show it to the Wang Clan, Krune doesn't care. Krune didn't even ask them to keep it a secret to start with.
Krune then spent the day talking about his experiences and showing his own Elemental Meridians. He told them about its good and bad parts, what they should pay attention to, and how they should proceed.
Feifei was impressed with such a thing, but the terrified one was Uncle Feng himself.
"This thing is too heaven-defying! It's even better than the Myriad Wisps Technique that you created. At least, it definitely is for the starting realms. Give me some time, I will try to practice it."
Uncle Feng is already at the Semi Divinity Realm. His control over spiritual energy is who knows how many times better than Krune at the moment. Because of that, even the creation of the Nine Pseudo Energy Meridians didn't show too much of a challenge to him. Not to mention that Krune is also there, so he gave Uncle Feng a few pointers during the process.
In the end, Uncle Feng was able to create all Nine Pseudo Meridians in just a bit more than 5 hours! No only Krune, even Ruik, the wisps, and other demon beasts there at the moment were taken aback.
Feifei also tried to create the Pseudo Energy Meridians. Still, she was only able to create the first two by the same time. She is also going to need a lot more than that since each new one takes even longer to form. That is the difference in the cultivation realm for you.
"Uncle Feng, that is too unfair!"
He looked at Feifei and said.
"This thing requires a lot from your spiritual energy control. But not only my control is hundreds of times better than yours, but I also have already comprehended some Laws. That helped me in creating them even faster. Don't think that this is because my talent is superior, this is just a result of my experience, that's all."
Although Krune also felt quite jealous, he had to admit that Uncle Feng is right. Krune reckons that if he didn't know about the Myriad Energies Technique and he tried to create the nine pseudo energy meridians from scratch now, he wouldn't take more than a week.
"Alright, Uncle Feng, try to create the Spiritual Energy Meridians now."
Feng nodded and took out around a thousand spirit stones. When krune checked them, he almost drooled. Those were all Rank 9 Spirit Stones!
Uncle Feng paid little attention to Krune's envious face. He then started to follow the process according to what was described by the technique to create the Spiritual Energy Meridians. Sure enough, different from the others who took weeks or even over a month, Feng only needed around three hours to create the first one.
After that, it was the same as anyone else. Once you understood how to create the first spiritual energy meridian, the next ones would be a lot easier to create. It followed the opposite trait of the pseudo ones where you need more time the more you create.
Krune was also very curious to see if the Meridians could help someone as strong as Uncle Feng.
Soon, there were two meridians, then three, four, five...
With Uncle Feng's Rank 9 Spirit Stones, spiritual energy couldn't even be considered a problem.
Finally, Uncle Feng created the 9th Spiritual Energy Meridian. As expected, just as he finished it, his spiritual energy meridians also evolved to the Elemental ones.
But then... that was it.
Nothing else happened after he got the Elemental Meridians.
"Let me check how good they are."
Uncle Feng then proceeded to cultivate while using the Elemental Meridians.
"Hum... this is quite good."
Krune was happy to hear that and immediately asked about it.
Uncle Feng then started to give a more detailed explanation.
"Let's start with the realms that are.
Qi condensation;
Foundation Establishment;
Core Formation;
Divine Soul;
Soul Forging;
Void Breaking;
Divine Path;
Divine View;
Semi Divinity;
Divinity;
After that comes ascension, but this is something way too far for you, so I won't enter in detail."
Feng continued.
"As you know, between Core Formation and Soul Forging, spiritual energy has to be converted into Elemental Source Energy. Those are the realms where this Elemental Meridians will make the biggest difference."
"After that comes the realms between Void Breaking and Divine Path. Those realms use Chaos Energy to cultivate. At this point, the cultivators and demon beasts will already have the ability to convert Spiritual Energy into Elemental Source Energy almost instantly. So the Elemental Meridians lose a lot of its effectiveness here."
"Of course, considering that a good part of the Elemental Source Energy is still converted by the Elemental Meridians, it still makes their cultivation a tiny bit faster. That is already quite good since any help can make a huge difference in the end."
"Chaos Energy is created by the use of Elemental Source Energy and Laws. But forget about the Laws. For now, this is also a concept that you won't be able to touch before Soul Forging."
"Since the Elemental Meridians can't convert Elemental Source Energy into Chaos Energy, you can't see any significant difference between those who use it and those who don't. Of course, as I said, those who have the Elemental Meridians will still have a little advantage."
"Finally, there is a type of energy necessary for Semi Divinity and Divinity. But your Elemental Energy meridians will have no use here, so I won't comment about that now."
Uncle Feng then looked at Krune and said.
"Still, this cultivation technique is marvelous! It is definitely worth it to keep as a sect's legacy. I look forward to seeing what you will do after you reach Void Breaking. Perhaps, you will find a way to evolve the meridians once more so that they can create Chaos Energy."
