East Dragon University, district five, dormitories.

Fang Yuan sat cross-legged. Circulating his cultivation technique, he swallowed the dense energy particles and moved them quickly throughout his body. Soon, he broke through to another level.

“I’m finally at level five Mystic...” He sighed.

Since he had divided his attention and the environment was unfavorable, he had spent twenty days to reach ancient cultivation’s Qi Refinement perfection. He almost lost to Wu Wudi. He would have turned into a laughing stock among Demon Gods.

“But I’m merely a cheater. Wu Wudi is a true cultivation genius. He only spent twenty-seven days to advance to level five. Within the span of a few years, he made it to level fourteen. He’s almost at the point where he can form his Nascent Soul. The modern era is truly the golden age of cultivation. If it weren’t for the war with the Cosmic Lifeform Alliance, the Human Alliance would have soared even further!

“After level five Mystic, I’ll prepare to break through to level six immediately. That’s ancient cultivation’s Foundation Establishment stage, which is imperative... Also, once I reach this step, I’ll have to choose different high-level cultivation techniques according to my future direction!”

Fang Yuan’s current foundational cultivation technique was used by all cultivation universities. It was all-inclusive, highly versatile, and extremely compatible. It could be developed in any way.

After reaching higher levels, he could start cultivating advanced techniques from this foundation.

For instance, in pharmacy, one could cultivate the Infinite Spring Technique or Thousand Light Separation. Those who wished to focus on battle could cultivate the Thousand Blade Technique or Absolute Domination Technique.

“The Foundation Establishment stage was a huge barrier in ancient cultivation. But with the help of the Foundation Pill, it was a lot easier. However, since there were a limited number of pills, people often had to participate in deadly trials. In fact, this was internal friction, which has been criticized by modern cultivators.”

Fang Yuan looked it up. If university students today wanted to break through to level six, it was rather simple. They could even break through on their own using their current cultivation technique.

Of course, the school still recommended that students choose their department and change their cultivation techniques accordingly before advancing.

“The key is... my cultivation can’t be shown to others. Fame means trouble!”

In reality, Fang Yuan was not too concerned with reputation because he was recovering his Demon God abilities. Instead, he was worried about becoming overly famous. This would draw attention to him, leading to the Abominable Lord appearing. This would be the worst scenario.

“For advanced cultivation techniques, the mentors from each department can help with that. Even though Han Yunfeng has the intention of accepting me as his student, it doesn’t mean that I want that...

“There’s only one thing I can do—exchange it directly with a large amount of credits. But even though I’ve been doing business with Beatrice recently, I’m still strapped for cash!”

...

Fang Yuan thought carefully and summoned something from his dantian.

It was a silvery evolving metal, the seed of his magical weapon.

Typically, schools issued this to allow students to nourish it in their dantian. After reaching level six, they could summon it as a magic artifact. When used with a Golden Core, it would turn into a magical weapon.

However, Fang Yuan was different from normal people, so he had been refining it long ago. After summoning it, the size of his magical weapon seed changed once more. Now, it was no larger than a grain of rice.

“No matter how good the metal is, it only represents future potential. It’s still just a small seed. If I want to use it in the future, I’ll have to feed it some high-quality minerals and precious materials...”

Fang Yuan opened some information that he had spent ten credits on.

“When feeding it at the start, it’s best to use the Tyra Mineral. Later on, you can change to some alloys too. If you develop it this way, its durability and sturdiness will be better. Of course, the way the magical weapon materializes later on depends entirely on the owner. It requires a different ‘recipe’ for each path...”

In the video, a mentor explained the features of magical weapon seeds in detail. He explained how to maintain the temperature and even recommended several future advancements. Finally, he concluded, “All students, please proceed with caution. Since a magical weapon seed’s potential is unlimited, if you want to develop it by investing lots of resources, it’ll consume as much as you can feed it!”

His voice carried a hint of pain. He had probably paid a considerable price for his mistakes in cultivating the seed in the past.

Regarding this consumption, Fang Yuan already had a sense of it.

“Apart from the move, you are the main investment for all my credits...”

Even though he grumbled, he still pulled out several minerals. He watched as the tiny memory metal turned into a thin membrane, envelope the minerals, and slowly digest them.

After a moment, the metal expanded a little. Fang Yuan then used his will to shape it into a needle.

“For a magical artifact to travel through the air, it requires the cultivator’s spiritual will and spiritual power as the driving force. Ancient cultivation’s flying sword isn’t suitable for this. Rather, a flying needle is the most appropriate! This is the best option for beginners!”

Of course, this world still had sword cultivators.

Even though air resistance affected flying swords, you could use micro-engraving technology to inscribe some arrays onto it.

However, for Mystics below level six, a flying needle was a good and cheap choice.

After estimating the composition of the smallest flying sword, Fang Yuan knew that he would not be able to create one even if he fed it with all of his resources.

“Its current state is enough to count as a magical artifact!”

Fang Yuan manipulated the flying needle to fly about the room. It did not reflect any light at all, making it a great hidden weapon.

Smack!

He pointed his finger casually, and the needle suddenly shot out. It made a small hole in a vase, pierced through it, and exited from the other side. However, the vase did not even move an inch. Even if someone scrutinized it, it would be challenging to find the two tiny holes.

“Its control and power aren’t bad. Even if star beasts surround and attack me, I’ll have a way to deal with them!”

Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

Over this period, he was planning to go out and hunt a star beast. Most importantly, he wanted to explore the primitive areas of Planet East Dragon. Through his Demon God techniques, he wanted to investigate some precious resources and promote his cultivation.

During the course of refining pills and developing his magical weapon seed, he had obtained some opportunities to come into contact with some materials. Unfortunately, he still had not found what he needed.

Therefore, he wanted to take the initiative and improve his strength on the way.

“If I use my Demon God power, I’m sure I can increase my level by one every day. As for my cultivation technique, if I can’t make it work, I won’t change it.”

This world’s fundamental cultivation technique could be used to cultivate to higher realms.

However, regarding modern cultivators, comprehensive meant mediocrity. This was why they taught first-years a little bit of every type of cultivation. Once students found a direction they excelled in, they would start to specialize in it in their second year.

But Fang Yuan did not think much of those specializations.

You should not bite off more than you could chew. This saying applied to regular people, but this was not the case for Fang Yuan.

With a Demon God’s solid foundations, it would be a massive joke if Fang Yuan could not become a master of all trades.

Those ancient itinerant cultivators cultivated a bit of everything. Unfortunately, it was difficult to survive and hard to produce talents.

However, it was different for Fang Yuan.

Since he was planning to explore the outside, he had to take care of some matters first.

As far as the school was concerned, as long as he took on assignments, he was free to enter and exit as he pleased.

As for Han Yunfeng, he had obtained a large number of materials recently. He was devoting himself to research, so he did not have time to be concerned with Fang Yuan.

After all, it was the high-tier brain development drug, and the Zerg Empress brain was a scarce material. Even Han Yunfeng did not dare to use it carelessly. He spent all his time researching materials and did not need an alchemy boy to watch his cauldron fire.

On the other hand, once Beatrice heard that Fang Yuan was going to stop selling his goods to hunt star beasts, she sent him a message immediately.

“Hi, Lin Meng!”

This time, Beatrice started the holographic projection mode, and her realistic figure appeared before Fang Yuan. She walked around his room curiously, then sat on his bed, and crossed her snow-white legs. Her black lace stockings looked especially seductive.

“What’s up?” Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow.

“Hunting star beasts is dangerous. Furthermore, you’re a level two Mystic Level, aren’t you?”

He had obtained lots of credits by trading and had moved into district five. This was why Fang Yuan had adjusted his Breath Holding Technique, making it seem like he was at level two Mystic.

Beatrice looked up at Fang Yuan with her large eyes. “Lin Meng, I’m really worried about you! If you’re having any difficulties, you can talk to me about them!”

“It’s nothing. It’s just that I’ve been making good progress on my cultivation, so I wanted to have some actual combat to test my limits...”

Fang Yuan was suspicious of Beatrice’s intentions.

This woman had to have strong backing. Over the past few days, she had bought more than fifty low-tier brain development drugs from him. However, she continued to buy them nonchalantly, insisting that she needed them desperately. She gave Fang Yuan the impression that a specific power was training an army of the younger generation.

“Actual combat?” Beatrice bit her bright red lip. “Since that’s what you want, are you interested in joining our squad? We’re planning to head out to the Wasteland!”

The Wasteland was the area on Planet East Dragon outside of human activity.

Star beasts were not the only existences there. There were many hidden dangers as well.

“I’m in the ‘Green Leaf’ Squad. Two of our members were listed on the East Dragon Leaderboard, even though they were removed soon after...” Beatrice blinked. “However, we’ve invited someone to help us out, so it’s a lot safer!”

“Someone? Is it a senior?”

“Have you heard of Wu Wudi?”

“What? Did you guys find him? That’s impossible!” Fang Yuan shook his head.

“Of course, it’s not him. His cultivation has surpassed many mentors!” Beatrice shook her head. “It’s Wu Wudi’s cousin, Wu Sanhuai. He’s a cultivation genius as well. He’s ranked on the East Dragon Leaderboard!”

Fang Yuan looked it up and realized that Wu Wudi was not only a cultivation genius, but he was highly intelligent too. He had created a ‘Wu Family Group’ in East Dragon University. The Wu family was also full of geniuses. He had seven or eight family members who had entered East Dragon University. Of which, Wu Sanhuai was one of them.

“Amazing. I can’t believe you’re acquainted with someone like Wu Sanhuai...”

Fang Yuan sensed Beatrice’s intentions. However, he flashed a bright smile. “In that case, I won’t hesitate.”
