Then all my cultivation as an immortal has been for nothing?
Here comes the classic line from Chapter 11: Don't underestimate a young man's potential.
Here comes the classic line from Chapter 11: Don't underestimate a young man's potential.
When Wang Yi opened his eyes the next day, he was delighted to find that he had not turned into a beetle or anything even uglier.
Elsa, still in her white cat form, squatted on Wang Yi's bedside table: "You're awake. Quickly open the company's app; today's course schedule should all be out."
Wang Yi immediately got up and turned on his phone.
Last night, because of what happened, Wang Yi played some games for the first time in a long time. When he got tired and rested, he looked through the apps that were pre-installed on his new phone.
The interface of this thing feels like it was copied from Alipay. The first line at the top is "Scan," "Payment Code," "Travel," and "Wallet."
Wang Yi frequently used the card pack interface to collect discount coupons, so he clicked on it easily and saw a bunch of discount coupons, such as discount coupons for thousand-year-old ginseng, discount coupons for ten-thousand-year-old he shou wu, and other random materials that Wang Yi couldn't name.
The most outrageous thing was that Wang Yi even saw a "Yogsothoth Eye Discount Coupon". Out of curiosity, he clicked on it, and he didn't come to his senses until his phone hit his face.
Then I listened to a lecture from Elsa, about how novice monks should keep their distance from high-level materials, blah blah blah.
After reviewing the card pack features, Wang Yi clicked on the travel option, which allowed him to book teleportation services to other dimensions or even the Upper Three Realms.
Elsa explained: When you don't have a quest, use this function if you want to go to a certain place in the Three Realms and Six Paths to obtain materials.
"However, you probably won't need this feature for at least 20 years," she concluded.
Wang Yi's reply was: "Never underestimate a young man's potential!"
I've got a cheat code!
Although it seems now that this cheat is just a spirit energy cannon, it can only be used as a trump card in battle.
All of the above happened last night.
Now Wang Yi clicks on the second row of the app, which is one size smaller than the one above.
He opened "One-Click Cultivation Access," and Wang Yi's class schedule immediately appeared. Scrolling down revealed modules for renting training rooms, shooting ranges, and plum blossom stakes.
Wang Yi has scheduled a "Basic Exercises" class this morning, which will last for three hours. After lunch break, there will be a "Basic Firearms" class, which will last for two and a half hours.
It only took five and a half hours in total, which seemed very easy no matter how you looked at it.
Tomorrow, in addition to the unwavering basic exercises in the morning, the afternoon will focus on basic physical techniques.
The entire week's schedule consisted of practicing internal energy in the morning and various "external martial arts" in the afternoon.
Wang Yi: "Why are we teaching basic firearms first, and then basic physical skills? Wouldn't it be better to learn basic physical skills first, and then practice firearms?"
“No,” Elsa shook her head, “Using firearms can simultaneously train your perception of qi, and shooting can also temper your Dao heart. Although physical techniques also have the function of tempering the Dao heart, firearms are more effective when fighting against demonic cultivators. Now that it’s confirmed, let’s go!”
Elsa jumped up, grabbed the doorknob, and used her weight to push the door open outwards.
Wang Yi only hurriedly put on his clothes after seeing that the door was already open.
As he was getting dressed, Elsa suddenly said, "Oh, once you've learned to control your breath, the company will issue you uniforms. You should have your body measured today."
"Huh?" Wang Yi looked pleasantly surprised. "There's this perk too?"
The suit he was wearing was bought by his mother before he graduated, and it had been dry-cleaned many times and was already pilling.
I can't even imagine getting a tailor-made suit!
However, Wang Yi remembered that Elsa wasn't wearing a uniform when he saw her yesterday, so he asked, "Don't you have a uniform?"
"I am an A-level cultivator. Although I have lost my demon core and my strength has been greatly reduced, I am still an A-level cultivator. We have more freedom in what we wear."
It's like in online games; the more skilled the player, the more flamboyant their attire, making them seem unlike a real person.
Elsa began to descend the stairs with cat-like steps, and Wang Yi hurriedly followed, checking his zipper as they walked.
Just as they turned the corner, the two ran into Wang Chengyan from room 701, who was coming out of his room.
"Good morning!" Wang Chengyan greeted him with a smile.
"Good morning!" As he answered, Wang Yi subconsciously recalled the tight tube skirt and the naturally parted black stockings from yesterday. To avoid losing his composure, he quickly changed the subject, "No hangover?"
"I had a hangover... Oh, how did you know? Oh, you brought me home, thank you."
She actually remembered, but Wang Yi felt that the ambiguous atmosphere from yesterday was gone from her.
Have we become just ordinary neighbors? Just like before.
Wang Chengyan: "I lost my composure during dinner yesterday; I've been having some worries lately. Let's go to the station together~"
Wang Yi was astonished. He had originally thought that Jiuding was something that altered memories, but it seemed that was not the case at all. Wang Chengyan remembered what happened yesterday, but he had forgotten the ambiguity at the time and it had turned into normal communication between neighbors.
Elsa's voice came in: "It seems your influence on her hasn't completely faded yet. I suggest you don't go to the station with her now. I reckon if you want, you can invite her for drinks again tonight. By then, after spending a day among humans, she should only see you as an ordinary junior and neighbor."
Wang Yi immediately reached into his pocket: "Oh, I forgot my employee ID. I'll go upstairs and get it. Sister Wang, you go ahead!" "You've been a trainee for a year now, and you're still so forgetful. Go on." With that, Wang Chengyan waved her hand and began to demonstrate her superb skills in going down the stairs in high heels.
The "clack-clack-clack" sound of high heels gradually faded from Wang Yi's world.
After Sister Wang walked away, Wang Yi asked Elsa, "Is it really okay for me to keep going to her for drinks? For her own good, I should leave her forever and stop bothering her, right?"
Elsa: "Don't worry, her last abnormal feelings for you will be completely corrected by Jiuding tonight. But she will still come if you invite her. As long as you don't cross the line, you can always be good neighbors. That's the power of Jiuding!"
"She will be a very good anchor."
"Anchor point?" Wang Yi frowned.
"That's right, the anchor point to prevent your Dao heart from collapsing can prevent you from going astray."
Wang Yi said "Oh," and then asked, "Does this mean I'll never be able to date in my entire life?"
“You can talk to cultivators; you won’t affect each other. You can also talk to demons, but there will be reproductive isolation.”
Reproductive isolation!
Such scientific terminology suddenly appeared!
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
When Wang Yi arrived at the company, he hung his employee badge around his neck and naturally looked at the newcomers gathered in a corner of the company's lobby on the first floor.
Many new people came to the company for screening today; I wonder how many will be selected.
At this moment, the newlyweds also noticed Wang Yi and cast envious glances at him.
Wang Yi immediately straightened his back and even straightened his employee badge—envious, aren't you? I've been promoted to a permanent position!
Elsa sighed, snapped her fingers, and instantly transformed back into human form.
"See that big guy over there? That's the instructor for the basics of martial arts. He's probably coming down to greet the students himself," Elsa said, pointing to the counter in the lobby. "The people in front of him are probably the students for this term."
Wang Yi roughly counted the heads and exclaimed, "So many? So many new people all of a sudden yesterday?"
"No, all the early-stage Qi Refining cultivators in the company are in this class right now. You might end up being classmates with many of them for five years."
Five years as classmates—that's longer than being classmates in college!
Although Wang Yi felt he definitely wouldn't stay in the early stages of Qi Refining for that long, he still decided to build good relationships with his classmates.
Before he could even walk that way, the big teacher spotted Elsa: "Oh, Elsa! Since you're here, the one next to you must be the new cultivator who earned two hundred points by killing a monster on his first day as a cultivator, right?"
A large group of novice cultivators focused their attention on Wang Yi.
Wang Yi: "Uh, I am Wang Yi. I was lucky enough to escape from the attack of the demonic cultivators yesterday."
The tall teacher said, "I am Instructor Li, your teacher for the basics of Qi cultivation. These people over here are early-stage Qi Refining cultivators from the company's headquarters in Yangcheng. You can get to know each other before class, since we may be spending a lot of time together in the future."
As soon as Instructor Li finished speaking, a bespectacled man in the crowd snorted and said, "I'm about to reach the standard for injecting first-level spiritual medicine. Then I won't be hanging around with you Qi Refining beginners."
Instructor Li: "Although it's rare to fail in breaking through bottlenecks with elixirs now, we shouldn't be so sure of ourselves, Pang Jianming."
The man named Pang Jianming said disdainfully, "I am a chosen prodigy with a spiritual root strength of 78."
The uncle next to Pang Jianming sighed: "How many times have I told you? Arrogant people are prone to falling into demonic cultivation. As your master, I don't want to execute you with my own hands."
Pang Jianming still had that "I'm the best in the world" expression on his face: "I won't, Master."
"Who knows?" The uncle shook his head calmly, then looked Wang Yi up and down.
By this time, Wang Yi had already noticed that everyone here was basically in pairs, with an experienced person mentoring a new one.
However, it seems that everyone else's master is human.
Wang Yi then asked Elsa, "Is it rare for a demon to be a master?"
"Yes, a great demon usually wouldn't stoop so low as to mentor a newcomer. A little demon who has just cultivated into human form might lose control and revert to his original form at any time, causing the newcomer to be exposed to too much supernatural energy and explode and die."
Elsa had barely finished speaking when someone chimed in, "Besides, even a great demon wouldn't lose its demon core and end up in the human resources department."
Wang Yi looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man with a white beard leaning on a cane, standing next to the reserved young man.
Just looking at the old man's beard and wrinkles, you can tell how strong it is.
Elsa: "Don't be fooled by beards and wrinkles. The stronger the powerhouse, the longer their lifespan. They are all handsome men and beautiful women. That guy has been training for 150 years and is only a C-level. His lifespan is almost exhausted. He relies on teaching his disciples to cash out points to exchange for longevity pills."
The old man immediately bristled with anger: "Cultivating immortality, can that be called cashing out? Besides, I've been practicing Qi cultivation for 150 years, and I've given my disciples far more guidance than a prodigy like you!"
Wang Yi frowned, thinking to himself, "Old man, if you've cultivated Qi for three thousand years, you might indeed be quite powerful, but cultivating Qi for 150 years doesn't seem that strong."
At this moment, Instructor Li pointed to a pair of master and disciple who had just entered and said, "The last pair has arrived. Everyone is here. Go to the public practice room 101!"
