Incomprehensible talent

Wei Yuan left the pagoda and the assistant followed him. The elders asked the assistant to show him his new home and let him enter the second floor of the library. Little did Wei Yuan know that the library is also his new home now.

Wei Yuan and the assistant entered the library and the assistant showed him his new room. It was a secret room on the first floor of the library. The room was not big, but not small either. It was normal in size with minimal furniture inside.

"The elders said that you can learn everything you want on the second and first floor, but the third floor is off limits. You can enter the third floor only after you reached Core formation stage."

Wei Yuan became speechless, he only wanted to enter the second floor once in order to learn a stronger sword technique, now he can spend one year on the second floor. Seems like the elders really favored him. This made Wei Yuan a bit wary.

That's because he didn't know that combining two techniques required heavenly talent. He thought of this as a little trick and no more, but he became the number one in the eyes of the elders very fast after they saw this.

The assistant left and now Wei Yuan was alone inside the room. Starting from this day, his existence is erased from this sect for one year. The assistant will come every day from today onwards and give him food and water. The library is closed and no one can enter for one year. The princess will know about this sooner or later, but Wei Yuan didn't care.

The imperial power can't shake one of the five great sects. Wei Yuan knew this very well. Now, the schemes of the princess can't reach him anymore. He will get powerful and deal with the princess after this year. He didn't do it before because the bodyguard of the princess. That bodyguard is like a shadow.

Now it was time to cultivate. The foundation establishment stage is the stage where one needs to change their body. Now, Wei Yuan can continuously store the Qi and absorb it. He can nourish his body all day. He needed two things to upgrade his body and reach the next stage of foundation establishment.

One is Qi. Every cultivator can absorb Qi from the air. Thus, no one lacked Qi. The next is spirit stones. Spirit stones are the currency of the Xun continent and this currency can store Qi. The cultivator absorbs these spirit stones on the Foundation Establishment stage in order to help his body get accustomed to high amounts of Qi. This will start the transformation inside the cultivator.

There are 10 minor stages, every stage represents a minor change inside the body. One reached the Core formation stage when his body successfully changed into the body of a true cultivator. He can form his core after that with his new body. The core of a cultivator is composed of high amount of Qi. The normal body can't withstand this high amount. This is why the Foundation Establishment stage is necessary.

Wei Yuan activated his storage ring and took out all the spirit stones he stealed from the Wei family. This is more than enough to reach Core formation stage. He understands almost everything about this stage. Thus he decided to take it easy. 6 hours in the library every day, then 6 hours of cultivating.

Wei Yuan started absorbing the Qi out of the spirit stones. It was like burning an incredible amount of money. 6 hours passed away in the blink of an eye. Wei Yuan slowsly opened his eyes and checked his progress.

"Hmm I need around a month to reach the second stage if I progress like this."

Now it's time to check the second floor of the library. Wei Yuan was very excited, learning about cultivation techniques is like starting an adventure. Every cultivation technique is a new experience. He wanted to learn every technique possible. He knew that it's impossible, but learning a bit about everything will help him gain enlightenment. He also wanted to achieve his new goal in this one year.

Creating a new technique. Creating a new technique is super hard, but everyone can do it with enough understanding, determination and intelligence. Intelligence is not a problem since we talk about Wei Yuan. He just needs to study for a whole year like crazy. He decided to create a mortal grade technique and upgrade it after he learned more about the higher grades.

Wei Yuan entered the second floor and started the 6 hours of insane studying. He started with sword techniques, then the next was the breathing techniques and other martial arts techniques after that. Of course, not all of this in one day. One or two technique every day. He just wants to understand them first, not master them.

He also learned techniques from the first floor. Different ways to use Qi, how to create different types of Qi, manipulate elements with Qi. He even learned how to use his evil Qi more efficiently. His main Qi was still the pure evil Qi. Wei Yuan wanted to change this pure evil Qi into something more destructive, more frightening, more powerful. The first step to do this was to learn about Qi.

Famous scholars studied the essence of Qi through millions of years. This is how they created wood Qi, metal Qi and other extraordinary Qi's. Wei Yuan also wanted to create his own Qi with the help of the pure evil Qi. The pure evil Qi devours every other type of Qi.

TWO MONTHS LATER

Wei Yuan currently silently cultivating. He reached the third stage of Foundation Establishment and currently trying to stabilize himself on this stage. The space was very little inside his room, Wei Yuan collected a mountain of books inside this room. These were the important books. The other books stayed on the second and first floor, but all over the place. The library was a mess currently and the asssistant scolded Wei Yuan because of this multiple times, but he didn't care.

The books inside his room were all about Qi and sword techniques. He learned many things about Qi, but he felt like his knowledge was still lacking. He found out many secrets and knew that he needed to learn way more. Sadly, he can't enter the third floor and the sect probably can't provide him with better cultivation techniques. Now he knew, that the Tranquil Dragon Sect was very weak compared to the true peak sects of the world.

He also learned many things about swordmanship. He mastered the second stage of the sword soul technique, sword finger. This technique allowed him to use his fingers like a invisible sword. Sadly, this technique was only mortal grade, thus the sword finger was very weak currently.

INSIDE THE PAGODA OF THE SECT MASTER

The princess and the assistant stood beside each other. They looked towards the elders. The elders and the sect master sat around the table just like before. The room was very dark. Suddenly one of the elders started speaking.

"Congratulations princess, your talent is amazing, the sect decided to promote you into a core disciple. Do you have any questions?"

"Yes, but it's regarding another matter."

"Feel free to speak."

"It's about a disciple called Wei Yuan. I believe his talent is equal to mine if not better. I would like to recommend him as the next core disciple."

The core disciples are not the disciples with high cultivation, but disciples with high talent. The princess wanted to know more about Wei Yuan and decided to grab this chance to get information. The elders looked at each other inside the dark room and smiled.

"You don't have to worry, disciple Wei Yuan is already a core disciple. You can meet him after he completed his training."

"Disciple understood."

The princess left and now it was the assistant only. He came here to report about Wei Yuan. The elders also knew this and curiously waited. Finally the sect master allowed him to speak

"Speak"

"Yes, I came here to report the progress of Wei Yuan. He started studying martial art techniques ever since he moved inside the library. His speed of learning... I don't know how to say this. I can't comprehend what's he doing anymore. His cultivation speed is normal, third stage of Foundation Establishment. He's cultivating 6 hours every day. The problem is the other 6 hours. He started writing incomprehensible things. It's like a new language. I'm incapable of measuring his current strength. His talent is not something we can understand anymore."
