Chapter 612: Enlightenment

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In Vigilante A’s mansion at Qi City of China.

This was April of the third year of Shenyuan. The grass was tall, the nightingales were in the air, and the willows swung gently in the breeze.

The farm was busy welcoming the spring, but this year, something was different.

Some younger workers were mumbling something under their breaths as they worked.

With close attention, it could be heard that they were repeating a general summary of some techniques.

“The numerosity and intricacy of cultivation methods have rendered cultivation inaccessible for ordinary people. Thus, all shall be combined into one. All who possesses nine orifices are able to cultivate the Nine Transformations Golden Core Technique. The first transformation is to gather the essence. The second transformation is to converge the Qi…”

“Master Luo, can I ask you something?”

That middle-aged man in question straightened himself and kept his big scissors. He smiled honestly, “We’re all workers here, why do you need to be so courteous all the time? Just tell me what you need. Oh, you’re Xiao Wang, right?”

“Uh… Yes, Master Luo, my name is Wang Wenqing,” the young worker grumbled in distress.

“Oh, I remember you, yes. What’s going on?”

The young worker checked the surroundings and lowered his voice before taking out a thick red packet to pass it to Master Luo.

“This is a small gift from myself, please don’t refuse this, Master Luo,” said the young man.

“No, no, what are you doing this for? I’m just an uncouth fellow, why are you giving me money?” Luo Xingrong refused in panic.

He was very comfortable with this job, and he did not hope to lose it just because he took money from someone else and had to commit crimes for it.

“It’s nothing, I just want you to help me get some information. Please accept it.”

Both of them were trapped in this push-and-pull for a long time. Xiao Wang kept the red packet only after some people were already looking over at the commotion.

This old man was probably not faking his courtesy. With that thought, Wang Wenqing concluded that it was much easier to get the matter done due to that.

“Master Luo, I heard that you’ve talked to the Venerable One twice?”

“Oh, yeah. That old man is actually very amicable…” Master Luo recalled his previous two conversations. “He was different from other big shots that acted all high and mighty. He was truly approachable and friendly from within. It was completely genuine.”

“Hm? From the internet, I’ve read that the Venerable One was actually quite young. Why do you call him an old man?”

“Ah, you’re still too young, boy. Don’t you know that he is an immortal and a True Dragon? He’s probably lived for an unfathomably long time…” Master Luo quickly pointed it out to the young man so that the younger would not unknowingly offend the immortal.

The Venerable One was a true immortal that had daily movements at such a high place that no one knew what and where he was. He even used the windows to get in and out of the mansion.

” Um, the ginger is really more biting the longer it is aged. 1 So that was the reason behind it. You’re right, that really is the case.” Wang Wenqing quickly understood and exclaimed in realization.

And that was how the thirty-something-year-old host and a Sir System that was barely 2 years old became old men that no one knew how long they have lived…

“What do you want me to gather information about? The Venerable One was always very occupied, so I will usually go to Butler Zheng if I need anything,” asked Master Luo curiously.

“Oh, right. The neighborhood committee in our area is gathering everyone to cultivate the Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique together, no? Even us, the temporary tenants were included. Apparently, as long as we can cultivate to become a beginner, we can let our landlord reduce our rent, and even get subsidized if we ever purchase a house…”

At this, Wang Wenqing was plunged into deep regret. “Ah, I’m frustrated once again at this. Wouldn’t it be great if I were to grit my teeth and buy a house three months ago? At that time, the property prices in Qi City was less than 10% of what they are today. I didn’t have the courage to buy it, and I even thought of running to the West. In the end, it was just a false alarm, and the property prices have shot up once more. Initially, I could pay for it in full, but I can only pay for a toilet in full now.”

“Ah, tell me about it. This is destiny. If we were destined to not have the luck in hitting the pot of fortune, we should then be honest and work hard to earn our money. Through working here, we can earn enough for the downpayment. If we were to work elsewhere, we could never have anything close to this, and will have no choice but to return to our homes in the rural areas.” Master Luo comforted the young man.

“Yes, yes. Everything we have today was due to the Venerable One’s generosity,” Wang Wenqing chimed in agreement. “What I wanted to ask is whether it is possible for the Venerable One to explain to us how to cultivate this incantation. I was always lost, and I was stuck at the same spot no matter how long I try to cultivate it.”

“Um, the Venerable One has to deal with a myriad of problems daily. I think you should go to Butler Zheng instead.” Master Luo shook his head.

“That’s good too. Master Luo, you’ve worked around here for the longest, and thus are most familiar with the area. Please help me to pass this request.” A glimmer of disappointment flashed in Wang Wenqing’s eyes.

A few months ago, he got someone to refer himself to work here.

He hoped to enjoy the benefits of a favorable position and see if he could become the True Dragon’s disciple.

If that really happened, what would he bother with a mere house? People would flock to him, offering numerous houses at his whim.

Sadly, after working hard for a few months, he merely saw the Venerable Dragon God descending from the sky occasionally. He did not even have the chance to speak to the Venerable One.

The mansion did not allow trespassers, and the workers had their own rest area. The entire farm was enveloped in a formation which restricted free movement.

He could not even find any opportunity.

Well, he was not the only one who was smart enough to do this. Everyone wanted to walk on this shortcut that led to the royal road of success.

Unfortunately, every single worker that came in was screened beforehand.

If they had any other motives or agendas, they would not even be allowed to be a worker.

That night, Zheng Dao gathered most of the workers that were free.

“Mm, it’s great that all of you desire for improvement and are willing to suffer through hardships. This Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique was the hard work of the Venerable One himself, and he hoped to use this as a tool to rescue all living beings. Everyone who possesses the nine orifices could learn this, but if no one was there to enlighten and guide the journey of those who were not exceptionally endowed, becoming a beginner would require a very long time of sharpening one’s wits.” Zheng Dao was patient in his explanations to the crowd.

His explanation has a stark difference with William’s, who lived at the mansion near Mount Indigo.

The latter once said, “The first step of gathering the essence will require someone’s guidance unless the cultivator in question possesses great endowment. The person will help you gather the hidden power in your body to form a Golden Seed.”

This stemmed from two different ideas and perception. To William the businessman, those with low endowment would require a very long time to become a beginner, some would take a few years or even tens of years. Hence, the cost was too high for it to be meaningful.

That time was better spent to earn more money to hire someone else as a guide. That was William’s correct path.

However, Zheng Dao understood that no one had the methods and brains to earn such a large sum of money. Sometimes, they could only rely on the test of time.

Since the Venerable One has researched this for it to popularize to all beings, it was naturally impossible for it to come with such a huge restriction.

Otherwise, if an area did not have a powerhouse that could perform the enlightenment, no one could then cultivate this technique anymore.

“Butler Zheng, can you help enlighten us?” Someone gathered their courage and asked.

Zheng Dao laughed at that and answered, “Haha, even though enlightenment can save a considerable amount of time, you will lose the opportunity to train yourself. Many have no idea that this training and polishing can allow someone with a low endowment in vitality cultivation to rise from lower than Grade F to Double Grade F, or even Double Grade E. This is the true gift of benevolence that the Venerable One gave to all beings.”

Some people were confused, while some were shocked. Those that were shocked obviously knew the insights of cultivation.

The endowment for vitality cultivation was categorized into two major indices, one being Vitality Sensitivity, another being the Passive Vitality Respiration Speed.

These two could not function without the other. If the former was not up to standard, one would be unable to sense any vitality during mediation. Thus, they could only live and learn like the ordinary people from the previous Era of Technology.

If the latter was not up to standard, the respiration of vitality in the body will be too slow for the cultivator to do anything even though he could sense the vitality around him. If a cycle was completed only every hundred years, there would be no use for it – the person would be long dead by then.
