Chapter 138: Identity
Having killed someone far more important than he imagined, it was no wonder there was so many marked objects amongst his possessions. If he could go back he would have hid his face and made sure to secure an escape route instead of letting himself get cornered like that. Hed gotten used to dealing with people less powerful than himself and as soon as people stronger than him showed up he got caught unaware and had to go all out to protect himself. Seems Im still inexperienced in the world of Cultivators.
Lin Bao. It was the name of the important figure he killed. He was the grandson of a big shot, but Sage knew little else about him. He was tempted to gather information, but that would only draw attention to himself. If he was the one looking for a murderer, the obvious suspects would be anyone that had been looking for information about the deceased. Sage had no prior relationship with the man, and had never seen him before that day at Strange Creatures. That was also his first time at the shop, so nobody knew him nor would they have an idea how to track him. Hed been in Red Knife City to gather information and wasnt wearing the Sect uniform so he was just an anonymous stranger. The only sad part was that he probably couldnt return to Strange Creatures for at least a few years, just to be safe.
It also taught him the importance of a disguise. Most of the identity hiding techniques could be seen through by someone of higher rank, but at least it would be a start. Sage put it on his list of things to do and continued to categorize the treasures. Besides a few rare spirit plants, the rest were standard fare. Piles of spirit stones and pills. The pills were the standard supporting drugs as well as cultivating pills. They were very common among young geniuses. The kind of thing Sage never qualified for. For a genius cultivator the first three ranks could be said to merely be accumulating energy. Qi Building, Qi Condensation, and Sea Forming. Gathering Qi, condensing it into a liquid form, and expanding the capacity till it was like a sea. Each stage required more and more energy. Spirit stones were useful to break through the barriers of each stage and for replenishing energy, but cultivating pills for the most part were huge piles of energy. The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.
They were made from special materials and refined to be gentle nourishment for internal energy. Spirit stones were much more violent, which is why they were saved for breaking barriers, powering devices, and emergencies. That said, Sage was no elite. Those geniuses were too great, which is why they needed the pills to supply enough energy to keep up with their progress. For normal cultivators, they werent at a deficit of energy. The energy they gathered had to be carefully cycled through the body, converted by their Qi Cultivation art, compressed and carefully integrated with their existing energy in the Dantian. It was a very complicated and delicate process, since a single mistake could cause a drop in cultivation, or even permanent damage to their body. A normal person wouldnt have the problem of refining and building the energy so quickly they needed pills to supply more.
So, the pills were valuable, but only a few people actually used them. At least for the standard cultivation pills. There were tons of exotic or unusual ones with special abilities that affected the body in different ways or that could assist in the process of cultivation. While they werent so useful after reaching rank four, they were popular among rich folks. They would use them to cut down on the amount of time they would have to train every day. At that rank, cultivation required understanding and comprehending the natures of things far more than it did gathering energy.
Putting away the Pills, Sage sorted them into the sell pile inside his ring. He wanted to add the corpses of the wolves from that Beast Tamer, but he was worried theyd be recognized so he had no choice but to butcher them and sort the parts into his material collection. Thankfully hed gained enough spirit stones to completely recover the ones hed spent on starting his business. He hadnt recovered the gold, but gold wasnt so important to him anyway. Once the business took off, hed probably be constantly looking for ways to convert gold into spirit stones anyways.
With his spoils sorted, Sage had to decide on what to do next. Just a quick glance at his notes for the future were daunting. Hed piled up so many ideas and avenues of progress that he had no idea where to start. Even just studying the materials from the Hidden Domain, the weapons and clothing from the Soul Taming Abode, or the various special objects he had were huge tasks. That isnt even counting all the ideas he had regarding insect breeding and formations. He still had only barely scratched the surface of the gains from the Timeless Masters Cave. He wanted nothing more than to just go into seclusion and start work.
Hearing this, Qiu Hou suddenly seemed to understand, for a moment. Then he started to point at Sage. Before he could ask another question Yuan Hu, the most ferocious one, reached over and slapped the back of Qiu Hous head, Yeah, dont be so impatient! Silly monkey.
Who are you calling a monkey!
You! Thats who!
The two started bickering, just as they always did. The mischievous monkey and the tyrannical tiger. At least that was what Sage and Geng He called them back when they lived together. Their personalities seemed perfectly matched to make them argue. Sage let them fight for a few minutes before he finally cleared his throat.
Ahem! Anyways, back to the point. I was upset and worried about trying again, but then I met Wan Ling. Thankfully, she had some great ideas that have helped give my business a second chance. That brings me to why I called you all here today.
Next came the dramatic pause. He wanted to let them recover from the distraction of the argument and also to prepare for what he said next.
While I think we have a great plan, just the two of us may not be able to handle it all on our own. I brought you all here to ask for your help, and also offer an opportunity. Please join our company!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
