My Master Disconnected Yet Again (Part 3)

Chapter 385: Training Sword Cultivators

"Fellow Daoist, please call me Yun Heng." Yun Heng's tone was polite and his eyes twinkled as he looked at Lonemoon. "How should I address you?"

"Lonemoon," Father Niu answered, putting on his business-like smile He Turned around and introduced the people around him. "These are the disciples of Invincible Sect. They have come to spread the word. They look forward to cooperating with Fellow Daoist in the future."

"Of course, of course." Yun Heng nodded. It was obvious from his expression that he was overjoyed. "Spreading the word cultivation is a huge matter – as long as Fellow Daoist says the word, I will definitely do what I can to be at your service."

Lonemoon had no intentions of speaking too much with Yun Heng. After exchanging a couple more pleasantries, he allowed Yun Heng to lead Si Yu and the others down to test spirit roots. There were only the three of them left in the hall, along with one ghost. They were no longer required to be involved in recruitment of disciples. In fact, that would be insulting to their positions They put so much effort into making a grand entrance – they had to make sure that they played that role well to the end.

However, Lonemoon could not help his curiosity toward the quality of people in this small world. He retrieved a crystal which displayed the testing stage below them. At that moment, there was a long line before the stage. All sorts of Mystic cultivators were excitedly waiting. Perhaps it was because Si Yu and the others were already there – the crowd was not pushing and jostling to get to the front. Instead, everything was progressing in an orderly fashion.

The miraculous thing was everybody who was on the stage, including those who were standing guard at the city gates, had a spirit root. Of course, this was apart from one or two civilians who were just there to enjoy the excitement. Those who had spirit roots were not of bad quality either. Most of them had either two or three spirit roots. Within an hour, they managed to find two people with celestial spirit roots.

People of this caliber were rare in other small worlds. It was almost as if everybody with good-quality bodies had gathered into one city. The only thing was...

"Why do they all have cultivations?" Lonemoon glared at the two unreliable master and disciple duo. "Didn't you say there are no cultivators in this world?" Everybody who had their spirit roots tested were in their first- to fifth-stages of Qi Refinement.

"Perhaps it's because of what they call Mystic cultivation," Yi Qing replied. "They had been training in a cultivation that was mainly concerned with creating talismans. That was what most of them did before, although they claim they do not know how to gather Qi into their own bodies. Nevertheless, they know how to activate the spirit Qi in their surroundings to create talismans. Of course they would gain some form of cultivation from that." What they were missing was an understanding of spirit Qi. That was why they did not know how to activate it. Of course, they would not know the basics of how to endure lightning tribulation. That's why they could not reach Foundation Establishment after going through the lightning tribulation., and why they were all only at the Qi Refinement stage.

Lonemoon pondered over this. Then, he released his divine perception to scan the crowd. Indeed, he did not find one cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage. Suddenly, a question popped into his head. "How did Yun Heng become a Soul Formation cultivator?"

"He has a light... he has merit," Yi Qing answered.

Lonemoon stared blankly back at him as he recalled the golden glow around Yun Heng. People with merit would normally be taken care of by the Heavenly Dao. Given that the glow around Yun Heng was so bright, it was natural that he did not face any obstacles while training. That was probably the reason why he could advance without having to go through the lightning tribulation.
