6 Chapter 6 Feelings Arise

When the "Nine Continents World" just opened, players had different preferences for the four main occupations, with the largest number of players choosing to be Monster cultivators and Magic cultivators, together accounting for a full 70%.

Tao cultivators made up just over 20%, and Buddhist cultivators accounted for less than 10%.

There is a thread specifically discussing this on the official forum, where the players generally agree that while everyone in the real world is a good citizen who obeys the law and is harmless to people and animals, they plan to rebel once in the virtual world.

As for the truth, those who understand it understand it, and it's better not to ask if you don't understand. Asking would mean they're bored with angels or something, and that demonesses and witches are the trend.

Too real to reveal, so it is hidden, no harm intended.

As for Buddhist cultivators…

It's fine not to mention them, they lose because they are too serious.

Players can choose their preferred main occupation when creating their accounts, then come to different areas of the Nine Continents World and find NPCs to complete the 'Awakening' initiation.

The process is simple and quick. As long as the players find the right NPC to guide them, they will invariably display their excellent qualifications, successfully 'awakening' in no time.

Lu Bei didn't have a choice. The twelve classic scriptures of Taoism dictated that he could only choose to be a Tao cultivator. The NPC template made him uncertain about whether he possessed excellent qualifications and could join the Tao cultivators at once like the other players.

If he did, everything would be fine; if he didn't, he wouldn't expect anything, and he wouldn't make any effort later.

He began to read the first Taoist book word by word with a tingling scalp. As each word and image came into view, a warm current immediately rose in his lower abdomen.

He's got a shot!

"Mr. Lu, if you feel that the spiritual energy inside you is hitting the Yin and Yang meridians, and the blood energy is full..."

Bai Jin stood by, gave some advice in a low voice, thought about it, and realized that Lu Bei, a rookie, most likely wouldn't understand. She changed her words and said, "Just let me know if you feel anything."

Despite saying this, Bai Jin didn't expect Lu Bei to 'awaken' in one shot. She was prepared for him to try and fail again and again. In her view, this Junior Brother was too impetuous and didn't have a steady enough mind. He wouldn't be able to read the Taoist scriptures if he didn't calm his mind, let alone stimulate the spiritual energy accumulated inside him using the mystic rhythm of the scriptures.

The reason she didn't point this out was because she deliberately wanted him to fail several times. This way, his impetuous nature would be tempered, saving him from always making mistakes due to chaos in his mind.

She had experience with this. She had her own disciple work hard on reading the Taoist scriptures for a month.

On his end, Lu Bei's speed at browsing the Taoist book was getting faster and faster. The speed could not be described as "skimming," and the warm current where the spiritual energy lay in his lower abdomen was swirling faster and faster. When it expanded to the point that it couldn't maintain stability, it hit the Yin meridian, and the Yang meridian reacted accordingly.

Lu Bei's face flushed. He suddenly closed the Taoist book and said, "Sister Bai, I feel it! It's coming!"

"What feel...so soon?!"

Bai Jin was stunned for a moment. As she was feeling incredible, Lu Bei showed his excellent top-tier cultivation qualification, combining Yin and Yang and forming the initial Qi circuit in his body with the overflowing Qi and stored blood.

Boom!

There was a buzzing sound in his ears, and Lu Bei's body trembled. He took a long breath, turned to Bai Jin, and gave her a thumbs up.

"Sister Bai, mission accomplished."

"He actually... he's really... he's really done it..."

Bai Jin, catching the real situation, was taken aback. Firstly, because of Lu Bei, and secondly, because of Mo Buxiu, who had moved into the small box.

Previously, she assumed that Mo Buxiu had chosen Lu Bei as a disciple simply so that the Feather Gate's lineage would continue. Because his time was running out and he didn't have much choice, he had picked one who seemed OK on the street.

"Mr. Lu, you did..."

Just as Bai Jin was about to compliment him, she noticed the suppressed smile creeping up the corner of Lu Bei's mouth. Instantly reminded of her own disciple, who became smug the moment he showed a little talent, she said sternly, "Too slow. It took you so long just to awaken. If Uncle Mo knew about your lousy talent down in the Netherworld, he would definitely not be able to rest in peace."

He's already in the small box. How could he rest his eyes?

Lu Bei coughed lightly, "Sister, my master said that I have an extraordinary talent, and it would be a pity if I didn't cultivate. When I disagreed, he hit me."

Out of respect for her elder in the sect, Bai Jin couldn't rebut, but she didn't want to see Lu Bei become arrogant because of his talent, so she continued to belittle him, "Poor talent is poor talent. I have a disciple who successfully awakened just by flipping through a page of the Tao scroll. His talent is much stronger than yours."

Is that true? I don't believe it!

Lu Bei looked doubtful, thinking that this rapid entry was exclusive to players. The server hasn't even opened yet, where could this super genius come from?

"Mr. Lu, I know you don't believe it, but there's no shortage of those with extraordinary talents in the cultivation world. Some of them may stand out from the crowd, but most of them just blend in." Bai Jin advised earnestly.

"Thank you for your advice, Sister. I understand."

Facing Bai Jin's nurturing love, Lu Bei didn't want to argue any longer. He admitted his mistake and then asked, "Sister, now that I have awakened, I should be diligent and ride the momentum. So, what should I learn next?"

Rich lady, I'm hungry, bring the cultivation method over, I want to learn skills.

Bai Jin: "..."

Facing Lu Bei's eager expression, desperate to learn, Bai Jin feels pressured for a moment. She hasn't prepared the cultivation method for after the awakening.

Previously, Bai Jin's plan was to first let Lu Bei pore over the Dao heritage for two months. Once his spiritual awakening was complete, and the Feather Gate was all but repaired, she could then devote herself to his instruction.

As for cultivation techniques, the ones from the Lingxiao Sword Sect could indeed be passed on.

But even this was not feasible.

Mo Buxiu had left the Lingxiao Sword Sect on his own accord years ago, even beating up the sect leader before he left. Although his name had not been removed from the Sect, the resulting complexities were truly unmanageable.

Moreover, since Mo Buxiu had established his own sect and passed it onto Lu Bei, strictly speaking, Lu Bei was not a disciple of the Lingxiao Sword Sect. Bai Jin could act as a teacher, but she couldn't pass on the techniques of the Lingxiao Sword Sect.

As a result of these factors, Bai Jin had enlisted the help of a friend at the Great Victory Pass, who was to selectively choose excellent techniques, which she would obtain after some time.

The plan seemed solid, but she didn't expect for Lu Bei to progress so quickly, entirely deviating from the expected cultivation progression, thereby disrupting her foolproof plan in a blink of an eye.

"Sister?"

"..."

"Sister, please say something!"

With a prompt from Lu Bei, Bai Jin was left speechless which Lu Bei found amusing.

"Mr. Lu, your aggressive initiative is commendable, but cultivation requires both tension and relaxation. Your foundation is shallow, and you should properly stabilize it."

"So?"

"No cultivation for today, I, I will first teach you a set of boxing techniques."

"???"

...

After dropping a boxing manual, Bai Jin hurriedly left.

Her destination - Great Victory Pass.

Lu Bei's aptitude was extraordinary. The original plan had been discarded. To maintain her dignity as a teacher, she must get the techniques suitable for Lu Bei's cultivation as soon as possible.

The sooner the better!

Lu Bei watched as Bai Jin left, shrugged in the spot, and opened his personal panel that had changed slightly.

"A once-in-a-lifetime main occupation choice, and I have only comprehended two skills. This character is somewhat wasted!"

Lu Bei mumbled. Both skills were Overlapping Armor-type defensive skills. What did this mean? Did it indicate that he was always on edge and felt insecure?

"So, what's next depends on you."

Lu Bei pulled out the "Fetal Breathing Qi Replenishing Skill" embedded in his clothing, his eyes full of curiosity and anticipation, "There's nothing special about the name, but if master ... if his reverence held it in such high regard, it must have its merits."

"Hm, I hope it wasn't just his mind playing tricks on him in his final moments, confusing him..."
