Chapter 1371 - 1371: Pulled In
The old man gave two pills to Long Chen.
Long Chen observed the pills, frowning. "What are these pills?"
"These are something which you'll only find with the wealthy in the Heavenly Realm. Something which can help them grow. Swallow the pill and try to refine your core with the energy from these pills. That's the first step. For the next one month, you'll only be doing that," the old man replied.
"Only eating pills for one month?" Long Chen asked.
"Exactly. Since you're just starting them, it'll take you a day at least to refine two pills. You won't have time to do anything else. I'm hoping that after a month of going through the same process, we can reduce that time to six hours," the old man explained.
"After that, it'll be easy to add other things in your training simultaneously. Think of it as the warmup before the real training."
"Moreover, the cultivation growth you'll receive with each refining will be massive, especially at the level you're at."
"Cultivation enhancing drugs..." Long Chen muttered. "Should I eat both at once or twelve hours apart?"
"Take them together. They won't be harmful for your body. If they were, they wouldn't be so popular. The energy release is subtle and smooth. However, if you don't refine the energy fast, that'll go to waste. So it's a big commitment. Don't waste resources."
"Anything else I should keep in mind?"
"One more thing. It's about how you can absorb it more efficiently and how to nourish your core properly. I'm transferring this knowledge." The old man flew closer to Long Chen and placed his hand on the head of Long Chen.
After getting all the information that he needed, Long Chen swallowed both the pills and sat down in a meditating position.
He started absorbing the calm energy of the pill. Unlike other aggressive cultivation pills, this was something very smooth. His entire body was feeling relaxed with the energy. There was no pain or feeling that his body was going to burn because of it, as he had often experienced before.
The old man observed Long Chen for an hour, and only after making sure that everything was fine did he disappear.
He went to the family members of Long Chen and started instructing them on what they could do.
...
The old man kept his main Focus on Long Chen, starting his day with him and ending his day on him. He kept giving two pills to Long Chen every day to swallow.
On the contrary, he only gave one pill to the other members that were learning under him.
The more Long Chen absorbed the pill, the faster his Cultivation grew. Every day, he kept breaking through by leaps and bounds, but the most important thing was that the time it took for him to refine the energy was decreasing vastly.
Within a month, he had reduced that time to three hours, doing even better than what the old man had spoken.
"One month is over. And your performance is pretty satisfactory. Now, it's time to modify your schedule. So listen carefully. This is where things start getting hectic."
"Early morning, you'll eat the pills and absorb them in three hours. Then you'll take half an hour of rest. After that, you'll go through skill training for seven straight hours daily."
"During that, I'll teach you some really crucial skills, the greatest to ever exist."
"After seven hours, I'll teach you what I was a specialist in. I'll teach you about the treasure crafting. The session will last for an hour every day."
"Then again, you'll go through an hour of rest. After that, you'll have strength training battles with the enemies I'll conjure. That'll last for three hours. And after that, you'll sleep. No staying up late. I want your mind to rest properly every day!"
The old man introduced the hectic schedule to Long Chen, who couldn't help but shake his head. The schedule was pretty heavy. And this was going to be the case for a thousand years?
He could see that the future looked hard. But he also knew that at the end of this Tunnel, there was some really bright light. He could feel that he was going to come out of this training as a different person altogether.
Moreover, isn't it what he actually wanted anyway? He didn't want his bloodline to increase. Instead, he wanted his cultivation to reach the peak stage before his bloodline could so he didn't have to face Tian Shen before being fully capable.
...
"You have great knowledge of illusions. Today, I think the path of Illusion Master Shun would be correct for you. Not only was he strong, but he was also pretty threatening."
"Step forward. Let me transfer you don't knowledge."
...
"Good work. Only three years and you grasped the knowledge of Illusion Master Shun.
"Now, I'll teach you the skills of Dark Reverend Hu. He was a Dark Cultivator that wasn't liked by anyone, but he was also someone that no one could avoid. He was known for his brutal strength. You can master his skill. It'll complement your dark aura. And it'll be helpful in situations."
...
"I'll teach you about the Art of Heavenly Treasure Crafting. With this, you can upgrade your old treasures and even craft new ones, given that you have enough materials."
"This was something that my father taught me. And it's really precious to me. It's the first time I'm teaching it to someone. So don't disappoint me."
...
"I wasn't an expert in concoction. That's the only field I lacked. However, there was a great alchemist that I met in this prison. Even the greatest alchemists were nothing before his practical knowledge."
"His company taught me many things. Moreover, he also left his legacy behind. This is the book that he wrote on my insistence. Read it before sleeping daily. Gain an understanding of all the herbs and the technicalities. After that, I'll teach you about actual concoction."
...
The time kept trickling away. The old man taught Long Chen new things after he finished learning the previously taught skills.
The days turned to months and months to years. Without even realizing it, Long Chen had already spent around a hundred years in this place. He had almost already forgotten about the outside world. What was a life of thirty years before the hundred years in this place?
He gave it his all to earn the best he could. It was the first time he had received a worthy master, after all. He wasn't going to lose the opportunity.
However, that's when it happened.. The ring of his started shining, and Long Chen was pulled inside abruptly.
