Chapter Three: Heaven's Technique

After fishing for about a triple hour, Long Tian catch more than four sunfishes in total, filling his experience points into 50% over 100%.

After Long Tian and Old Ye done fishing from the river, noticing that the sky had almost turned evening, they decided to leave now preparing to cook the fish for their meal.

.....

Behind the shabby hut of Old Ye, at the devastating courtyard, broken tiles, about 2x2 size, surrounded by a wooden fence, Long Tian sat in the middle in a lotus position. This place was the most central region of the scum area, hence soldiers of Overlord Divine Kingdom rarely came here. So the risk of getting caught practicing was merely around 2%.

After helping Old Ye deboning most of the fishes, Old Ye was usually the one who prepare, cook for their food, hence, Long Tian, after doing his job, he decided to cultivate Heaven's Technique in the courtyard.

After all, in this world where dangers lurk side by side, he couldn't afford to idle even for a few seconds, for only by having a powerful strength can he trample others to his foot. Nevertheless, diligent is part of the potency, so hard work and practicing is the fundamental part of the cultivation path.

Long Tian shook his head, commanding the system for the manual. Then a cultivation technique emerged on his right hand.

[Heaven's Technique]; In the front of the manual, the title was flashing and domineeringly engraved from the front page, opening it, the procedures were written there as well the efficiency of the technique.

On the first page, it was subtitle as 'Heaven Blessing'. Heaven Blessing was the first stage of the cultivation technique, it was further divided into 6 stages. The Heaven Blessing stated that it was accessible only for those martial artists that hadn't entered the realm of body refining and not those who reached the human realm. Hence as long as, Long Tian could achieve the human realm, Heaven Blessing Stage would be entirely useless to him and the next stage of Heaven's Technique would accessible to him.

The Heaven Blessing was really a wonderful technique, just reading its description and the way how to activate the technique can make one look in awe. It was really a manual that only those people who achieve an unimaginable cultivation realm, enlightened cultivators could create this kind of cultivation technique. It really defies everyone's common sense.

The first stage of Heaven's Technique stated that the 'Heaven's Blessing Stage' can increase one's cultivation speed by 3x of his E- grade talent, in the presence of the crescent moon it would increase one cultivation by 5x. For an E- grade talent like Long Tian an increase of 5x was comparable to those B grade demon genius talent, no it even exceeded the B grade talent, probably his cultivation speed would be comparable to those who have an A- talent cultivation speed. However, it was just a pity that his cultivation speed will only increase by 5x when the moon is present and in the morning his cultivation speed, only equal to those people who had a C grade talent. Nevertheless, it was still fast and heaven-defying for an E- grade talent like Long Tian.

Long Tian inhale, calming his mind, he then proceeded cultivating according to the manual of 'Heaven Blessing'. Because the six stages above the Heaven Blessing was still not eligible for him to cultivate, Long Tian didn't scan its description or whatsoever and commence the start of his martial path.

Today was still afternoon, around 4:30 P.M in the afternoon, hence due to that, his cultivation speed merely boosting him 3x cultivation speed, but this was enough for Long Tian to cultivate in ease while waiting for the food to be cooked.

As expected, when Long Tian closed his eyes, focusing the way where his veins would flow according to the technique; then circulated it to his meridians into his dantian area, his dantian instantly gushed out some strange aura that attracted the spiritual Qi on the air, it concentrated towards Long Tian as he slowly absorbed the bountiful Qi.

He exhales, inhales as the spiritual Qi entered his body. It repeated for 40 breaths to one hour. Only then he stopped cultivating when Old Ye called him out.

"I'm coming!" Long Tian shouted, raising on his position as he checked his status.

Looking at his status which increases to 52℅, Long Tian nodded his head as he understood. If he estimated the rate of C grade talent cultivation speed, per hour they would probably gain around 2% every hour they cultivate.

"So that's why C grade talent was called 'Genius'. If I give example then, that man who had been executed in this morning had a powerful background or at least born from a humble family, then that man will surely become a top expert without hindrance. Like, base on my estimation, a person that awakened a C grade talent, cultivates, even without the help of a medical pill, three days is enough for him to reach Body Refinement Realm, the best example for this is that man who awakened a C grade talent in the morning. Unfortunately for him, hs was killed for his talent and unworthy background." Long Tian couldn't help but breathe a sighed. The world is really unfair for those like him that were born without a respected identity.

Long Tian thought about the strengthening pill before shaking his head as he dashes towards the small dining room of the broken hut.

After that, the food was already prepared in the tabletop, Long Tian and Old Ye pray to the Light God in the table as they start devouring foods like hungry beasts.

The people in this world also pray when they eat, the only difference between his previous life and this life was that this world prays for the Light God. This was not surprising for Long Tian since he was a book lover.

Long Tian and Old Ye were like a pair of brothers instead of grandson and grandfather relationship, they would greet their teeth and fight for their foods. From the memories of Xiao Che, he and Old Ye were like this, they would fight like they were siblings when it comes to food; And when it comes to Long Tian, he was also hungry and loves food, especially fish.

Pah!

"Don't think about it old man. This is mine!" Long Tian leaned towards the last fish as he rolls his eyes towards Old Ye.

"You... You... You brat this is mine!" Old Ye angrily slapped Long Tian's hand as he pulled the wooden plate to his side. However, Old Ye was stopped by Long Tian as he also held the plate and pulls it towards his side. The two stared into each other's eyes as it flashes with white light and abruptly grabbing the last fish.

"Ahhh! You brat this mine!"

"Old Man, you won't succeed!"

....

The dusk already emerged, it was now midnight. The moon hangs from the sky as it was surrounded by glittering stars, blinking, as it displayed wonderful scenery. In the side of Old Ye's broken hut, a few meters away, there was a lush tree that towered there, on the top of this tree a young man was sitting in the tree's thickest branch. His position was cross-legged, two hands were spread from both knees, his eyes were closed as the noises of little creatures of the night resounded in the dark.

This youth was naturally Long Tian who was cultivating after Old Ye gone to bed after they have done consuming food. He was sitting cross-legged for at least 6 hours now, his cultivation had skyrocketed into 80% after having the 5x boost of the crescent moon.

The view up in the tree was especially amazing, hence Long Tian choose this place to cultivated for two reasons. One, in order to not disturb Old Ye's sleeping and arouse suspicion. Second, in order to hide from the people if suddenly someone saw him cultivating. The tree was covered with thick leaves, hence if someone would peek from below, no one would notice if someone was above this tree. Thus, Long Tian preferred this place for cultivating.

After two hours, Long Tian absorbed the last Qi in the air as he finally entered the first step of the martial path.

"Finally! First Stage; Body Refinement Realm!" Long Tian opened his head with a smile hanging from his face. A 5x cultivation speed that's comparable to an A- grade talent is really extraordinary. He was cultivating for a mere half a day and broke through in the next stage.

Long Tian rested his head to the branch, his eyes stared at the sky that was slowly brightened up. He muttered 'Open Status' as a status bar transpired from his sight.

Seeing that he finally stepped into the Body Refinement Realm, Long Tian chuckled as he rose to his feet, landing a punch in the tree.

Boom!

A small crack emerged from the tree, revealing its interior brown wood, Long Tian's punch waa extremely strong that was about 950 Jin. Because the tree was pretty sturdy, Long Tian was unable to collapse it down.

"Oh right! I have forgotten about the strengthening Pill!" Long Tian laughed foolishly, opening the system storage, then grabbing the pill as it appeared in his hand. He peeks at it, colored red, bitter fragrance, but directly swallowed it without hesitation. As the medical pill dissolved on his stomach, he could feel that it spread through his body, strengthening his explosive power.

"Good! Before I had about 950 Jin, hence eating the pill, I got another 200 Jin increase of power totaling with 1150 Jin. My strength right now is stronger than the average First Stage Body Refinement." He nodded, "However, my battle experience is still lacking due to Xiao Che being untalented. Mhm, I should train the martial arts for now and take a trip into the Beast Mountain Range, without getting caught."
