Old Zhang was both amused and exasperated. Finding a stone anvil and finding someone foaming at the mouth—this savage was truly extraordinary. But considering that even a master like Chen Jing, at the Pulse Realm, was unconscious, it was fortunate that Li Sisui, with no cultivation foundation, had survived.
The group carried Chen Jing and Li Sisui towards the village, with Old Zhang carrying the square stone anvil that Li Sisui was holding. The ruins returned to their former tranquility, with only the occasional bird calls and the old man sitting cross-legged.
In the village elder's meditation hut, Chen Jing lay unconscious on the bed. Old Liu, puffing on his cigarette beside him, said:
"Village elder, do you think Chen Jing has accepted the inheritance? How come there's still that savage in the ruins?"
The village elder said noncommittally, "We'll have to wait until Chen Jing is sober before we talk about these things. It's fortunate that the savage didn't die this time, otherwise it would have disrupted our plans. Given the savage's aptitude and comprehension, he probably wouldn't have been chosen."
"Once that savage wakes up, we must immediately implement the plan. If we delay, things may change. We must make him break through to the Initial Movement Realm before the Nine Dragons Sect Inspector arrives, so that he can go to the Nine Dragons Sect in place of Chen Jing."
Old Liu said with a solemn expression, "Now that Chen Jing has caused such a big change in the ruins, I don't think the Nine Dragons Sect will sit idly by. We should prepare for the worst!"
The village elder nodded heavily and remained silent.
Li Sisui felt like his brain was about to split open. In a daze, he found himself back in the blacksmith's shop. He tried to get up but found he had no strength at all. He was supposed to be strong, so why did the stone anvil turn out like this after he touched it? Thinking about this, Li Sisui fell into a deep sleep again.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Sisui finally opened his eyes. Old Zhang, who had been sitting silently beside him, said upon seeing Li Sisui awake:
"You're finally awake! You even managed to make a mess of finding a stone anvil. You're really useless. Move around a bit and go find the village elder. He needs to see you urgently!"
Li Sisui wondered to himself, "What urgent matter does the village elder want with me? Why is Old Zhang, who is usually so taciturn, so talkative?"
Li Sisui got up and moved around, feeling as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. His whole body ached, especially his head, which felt like something had been forcibly stuffed into it, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.
Li Si responded to Old Zhang and headed towards the village elder's cultivation hut. Along the way, he heard the villagers talking about Chen Jing's coma. Suddenly, he remembered that Brother Chen had entered the ruins with him. Now that he had become like this, he wondered if Brother Chen was alright.
Just as Li Sisui reached the village elder's cultivation hut, the elder's voice came from inside: "You're awake, come in!" Li Sisui entered the cultivation hut, looking at the elder with some confusion, wondering what the elder was up to.
The village elder looked at Li Sisui, who seemed somewhat puzzled, and said, "I've called you here today because you've been in the village for a while now. I see you have some talent, and I'd like to pass on my cultivation techniques to you. If you can grasp them, it will add to the village's strength. If you succeed in your cultivation and break through to the Initial Movement Realm, I will send you to a major sect for further study. What do you think?"
The village elder looked at Li Sisui expressionlessly, while Li Sisui's face lit up with surprise and delight.
"If you teach me cultivation techniques, will I be able to cultivate like Brother Chen?"
"Yes, if one masters this technique, one can grow wings of light on one's back and fly through the air. At a higher level, one can even sense the four directions, move at will, and annihilate enemies invisibly."
If one ascends to the next level, one can become a saint, thus entering eternal life, free from the six realms of existence, and beyond the cycle of reincarnation; one's spiritual power is indestructible, and one's physical body is incorruptible.
As the village elder spoke, a longing expression appeared on his face. Li Sisui, his face flushed with excitement, thought:
"Haha, they're actually going to teach me cultivation techniques! I can also grow wings of light and fly through the air! Could it be that my transmigration aura has finally been activated? They only looked at me a few times and they already knew I had cultivation aptitude, haha!"
The village elder turned to look at the excited Li Sisui and thought to himself:
"Hmph, it's just the most common introductory cultivation technique in the Guangyuan Continent. Breaking through to the Initial Movement realm is already the limit. Each subsequent realm requires self-comprehension and breakthrough! Fine, I don't need to explain it to him. I just need to help him reach the Initial Movement realm. As for the future, will he even have a future?"
The two exchanged a glance and both smiled, but Li Sisui felt that the village elder's smile was somewhat strange.
"It seems you've agreed, very good. You must already know about the cultivation levels on the Guangyuan Continent, and the entry-level stage is the Initial Movement Realm. This realm requires cultivators to be able to sense the vibrations of photons in the surrounding air, and through continuous comprehension, they can absorb photons into their bodies to achieve offensive or defensive purposes."
The time of day when photons are most active is midday, when you can more easily feel their vibrations.
Li Sisui asked, seemingly understanding but not quite: "Feeling photon vibrations? At noon?"
The village elder glanced at Li Sisui, who looked bewildered, with an expression of utter nonchalance, and thought to himself:
"Indeed, comprehension is a fatal flaw. If you don't understand, you just don't understand. Some people can reach the starting point innately, while others cannot comprehend it even with guidance. Fortunately, I was prepared."
After thinking for a moment, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a black medicine bottle, handing it to Li Sisui and saying:
"This is a bottle of Blazing Sun Pills, containing ten pills. Starting tomorrow, come to my cultivation place at noon every day to meditate. Take one pill before meditating to enhance your connection with the photon." Li Sisui reached out and took the pills, not forgetting to thank the village elder.
Seeing that Li Sisui seemed like a promising young man, the village elder couldn't help but say a few more words:
"The path of cultivation is ultimately a defiance of the heavens, and life and death are unpredictable. Back then, I had become a cripple, but unexpectedly, the world changed. After that strange event decades ago, my magic and battle qi were now completely useless. Everywhere was filled with unknown energy, and the whole world was unrecognizable. Fortunately, we received guidance from our seniors, and we learned how to cultivate to save our lives. We will never forget the kindness of our seniors!"
