Chapter 62: Wishing You Happiness!
What is cultivation?
Initially, Wang Chen believed that cultivation merely involved sitting in a quiet room, channeling energy to complete the cycle of Qi.
Gradually, he would enhance his cultivation level.
However, after listening to the teachings of the Purple Palace master, he gained a new insight.
Cultivation doesn’t have to follow the conventional path.
It can be seamlessly integrated into daily life.
Thus, Wang Chen began to experiment with practicing his technique while farming, weeding, planting vegetables, feeding chickens, and cooking.
His primary challenge now is his modest strength and realm.
At the fourth realm of Qi Training, he is barely noticeable among the hundred thousand cultivators in the outer sect of Yunyang Sect.
Although the Cultivation Panel has endowed Wang Chen with the ability to swiftly elevate his cultivation level, he desires to progress even faster.
The Five Element Technique, which he primarily cultivates, offers him precisely this opportunity.
The main drawback of the Five Element Technique is its mediocrity; it balances all five elemental affinities without any distinctive feature.
Consequently, most cultivators opt for a technique that strongly aligns with their primary elemental affinity after advancing to mid-level Qi Training.
However, for Wang Chen, who possesses a balanced elemental affinity, the Five Element Technique is indeed well-suited.
The key lies in the technique’s balance and stability; practicing it is as steady as a rock.
There is virtually no risk of deviating in cultivation.
Therefore, Wang Chen is unafraid of making mistakes and is committed to altering his previous practice habits.
Initially, he struggled to enter the cultivation state while performing other tasks.
It felt awkward and uncomfortable, and mistakes were frequent.
Were it not for the unique nature of the Five Element Technique and his success in body cultivation, Wang Chen might have suffered damage to his meridians!
But Wang Chen persisted.
In his past life, Wang Chen was perceived by others as gentle, optimistic, and positive.
Few were aware of his stubborn streak.
For instance, when he was discontent at the state-owned enterprise and wished to resign, everyone urged him not to relinquish this iron rice bowl.
Yet Wang Chen adhered to his decision.
He never regretted it.
Similarly, now that he has a goal to strive for, he would not easily give up unless certain it was a dead end.
Again and again, over and over, day after day!
Gradually, Wang Chen began to grasp the method.
He was able to maintain the continuous operation of his technique while carrying out his daily tasks.
Completing the heavenly cycle!
Then the skill proficiency of the Five Element Technique increased from 3 points a day to 4 points, 5 points, 6 points…
Under the autumn sun, in the spirit fields,
Wang Chen swung his hoe, accurately digging out a weed hidden among the spirit rice.
He did not harm a single grain of rice.
In the next moment, his gaze swept over, and he suddenly reached out his right hand to grab.
A grasshopper resting on a rice stalk was instantly caught in his hand.
[Object Manipulation · Experience +1]
Wang Chen casually stuffed the captured grasshopper into the cloth bag hanging at his waist.
This was not a storage bag, but a pocket specifically for storing insects; it already contained hundreds of grasshoppers, green rice insects, and long-horned snails.
These were all excellent feed for the chickens.
While practicing his technique, Wang Chen did not forget to increase his skill proficiency.
This way, he could consume some mana to prevent his Qi Sea from becoming overly full.
As a result, his Object Manipulation skill reached the basic level—without consuming a single point of Virtue!
Though Object Manipulation is a low-level spell, its practicality is quite strong.
Once his skill level increased, Wang Chen was able to freely control and grasp many things, including living creatures, from afar.
The strength and distance depended on his realm power.
Handling a small grasshopper was, of course, effortless.
After clearing the last acre of spirit fields, Wang Chen put away his hoe and sat down on the ridge to rest.
He took out his gourd and drank a big mouthful of refreshing spring water.
Refreshing!
At that moment, a young man in green clothing walked quickly down the path and stopped in front of Wang Chen.
Wang Chen looked up.
A familiar face!
"Wang Chen!"
The young man in green said with a superior tone, "I’m telling you, I have passed the outer sect’s review, and I can join the Three Preparatory Teams tomorrow!"
Wang Chen tugged at his lips, "Congratulations."
He couldn’t understand what was so boastful about it!
To Wang Chen, the so-called Three Preparatory Teams were just like the pioneering teams.
A pure cannon fodder camp!
Wang Chen suspected that the previous pioneering teams expanding in the outer domain had likely suffered severe losses.
However, the information above was tightly sealed, making it impossible to confirm such a judgment.
Thus, no matter how generous the treatment of the two camps, Wang Chen would not go.
The young man in front of him, a typical middle schooler, was none other than Zhang Xiaoshan, who had previously clashed with the original owner.
Zhang Xiaoshan huffed, "Not only will I become a Disciple of the Three Teams, but I will also slay gray-eyed thieves to accumulate contribution points and rise to the inner sect. By then, you and I will be from different worlds!"
Wang Chen was speechless. "…"
In the past month, the most sensational news within a thousand miles was undoubtedly the Yunyang Sect issuing a bounty for capturing thieves.
Both sect disciples and loose cultivators could earn contribution points by killing gray-eyed thieves.
One head of an evil cultivator at the Qi Training level was worth one hundred contribution points, while a Purple Palace evil cultivator’s head was worth five thousand contribution points.
Additionally, Outer Sect Disciples could exchange ten heads of gray-eyed thieves at the Qi Training level for the qualification to advance to the inner sect.
Loose cultivators only needed five heads of the same kind to become Outer Sect Disciples of the Yunyang Sect!
Once this bounty was announced, countless cultivators were eager to seize the opportunity to establish themselves and alter their fates.
Zhang Xiaoshan was obviously one of them.
Wang Chen understood that if he tried to persuade him not to fall into this trap, he would inevitably face ruthless ridicule.
So he could only remain silent.
However, Zhang Xiaoshan interpreted Wang Chen’s silence as insecurity.
This young man in green laughed triumphantly, "I’ll tell you another good piece of news. My dad has asked the Huang family for a marriage proposal, and Sister Cuihua is going to marry me!"
Sister Cuihua?
A round-faced, sturdy girl from a farming family sprang to Wang Chen’s mind.
This came from the original owner’s memories.
The conflict between the original owner and Zhang Xiaoshan had arisen because of the latter’s childhood sweetheart—Huang Cuihua.
However, that was merely a misunderstanding.
The original owner had no romantic feelings for Huang Cuihua at all.
Instead, Huang Cuihua had a bit of a crush on the original owner.
This caused Zhang Xiaoshan to become extremely jealous.
Thinking of this, Wang Chen immediately jumped up and firmly patted Zhang Xiaoshan on the shoulder: "I wish you both happiness!"
His blessing was sincere and heartfelt!
Quite powerful indeed.
Zhang Xiaoshan was caught off guard and nearly fell to the ground from the slap.
He stepped back, his face turning beet red: "I came to tell you not to have any ideas about Sister Cuihua anymore."
Wang Chen recalled Huang Cuihua’s appearance and figure, and he couldn’t help but shiver.
"Don’t worry, I absolutely won’t!"
Zhang Xiaoshan thought Wang Chen had given up, and he smugly huffed again: "Let me tell you one last thing, I’m at the fourth realm of Qi Training now!"
After saying that, he held his head high and swaggered away like a victor.
The fourth realm of Qi Training, how impressive!
Wang Chen watched as Zhang Xiaoshan’s figure disappeared at the intersection, then quietly summoned the Cultivation Panel.
【Five Element Technique (Level Four): 399/400】
【Heavenly Merit (Fate Alteration): 2】
