the pipedream

Whenever he looked at someone he could feel something like their yang or yin qi in their body but every person gave a slightly different level of feeling and sometimes it even fluctuated like this morning when he was interrogating Lian Shu 

but he knew for certain it was because of his new physique so as long as he finds his new spiritual root in the catalog of the library he will understand what it is.

Ken started to walk towards the restaurant with hurried steps forgetting that Liu was with him.

Ken found the restaurant and was amazed because it was a full pavilion which could thousands at once. He was excited because after the transformation he had been consuming large amounts of food and he had become some kind of food critic

It has become one of the few things in this world he truly loves to do. Ken went up to the top floor to find it filled so he was about to leave when Liu yanked him towards one of the window tables where a couple of guys were sitting.

Ken was uncomfortable with many people around so he just let Liu do the introduction 

"Hi guys this is my roommate he just arrived last night and doesn't know many things so be understanding he is shameless like me so I have decided to make him my brother to show respect."

"Speak for yourself" ken his words short but my ice-cold face and indifferent demeanor scared him and stopped talking which the group just found funny and pulled two more chairs for us.

After sitting down from the group the one that gave me an intense feeling compared to the group started to introduce the group one by one 

"Hi, my name is Jin Jing and this shorty here is Hashiro and this is Yuta he likes to sleep so don't disturb him when he sleeps. That shameless mouth there did tell your name he is like that so try to tolerate him a little"

Ken introduced himself "Hi my name is ken su I like to eat."

The table became all silent as they expected me to keep talking but I had nothing to say 

Hashiro "I like you already at least better than this mouthpiece. Your accent are you from the eastern desolate province?"

Ken got confused "I don't know but I grew up close to Mammon City if that helps."

They all looked at me like I was a lab rat even yuta who was napping on the table looked up "Liu where did you find this guy even a 3-year-old child would know this?"

As Liu tried to explain to me the basic geography of the heavenly dance continent the smell of food came to me.

A waiter brought a tray full of qi rich and we started to dig in 

I devoured the food so fast none of them could compete with me.

Jin "It looks like we already found you a nickname huh how does glutton sound it fits you perfectly don't you think?"

Hishiro the short immediately agreed and it became official I was now named Glutton but what could he do?

Liu continued from the start 

"the heavenly dance continent is divided into four parts the northern mountainous province, the eastern desolate province, the southern misty province, and the western forested province.

We are now at the border between the southern and the eastern regions where you come from. The sect is pretty far south from here and is the biggest in the region. Our main rival the profound yin sect controls the Northern Province.

The western province is contested between many mid-sized sects and lastly, the eastern province that is contested ground between the profound yin sect and the yin-yang palace.

The eastern province is the smallest and doesn't have abundant qi so sects tend to neglect it. 

Me and Jin are from the western province and Hashiro and Yuta are from the southern they know more about the sect than most."

Ken now understood what they meant but made a mental note to read up it in the library now asked what he observed.

Ken asked "Do you guys feel it or is it just me that every guy I see is happy beyond belief? Everywhere I go I see men just gawking at girls left and right I thought dual cultivators could only cultivate with their Dao companion."

Hashiro answered "Well this might be weird to you because you don't know the culture here and is from the eastern but here looking or even flirting with a woman is normal 

Even a woman who has a Dao companion can be seen flirting and her partner won't make a fuss some might even feel proud that they have what you want.

People can have multiple Dao companions it all depends on their cultivation technique. Look what you have to understand is this yin-yang palace is a female-dominated sect because they don't have a lot of inheritances that are for males.

So few men join the sect of their cultivation techniques so the women of this sect are sensitive about their man and are always trying to steal other women's partners."

Liu jumped in 

"I heard there is a duel between the top woman from the previous batch because of a man. What a lucky guy man Women are fighting just to fuck him."

Ken was baffled by what he heard first he thought a person could only dual cultivate with one partner and he had to be in the same realm as him but now he is hearing a woman can have multiple partners.

This made his plan to stand out and be an advantage a pipe dream but does it mean the heavenly genius story is a total lie? What was so different about his way?
