Chapter 17 - Foundation

It took a day for Ye Feng's tribe to go back to their village,

The parents were at the entrance, waiting and looking for their children, as the next few days would be the last days of their days as 'parents', since the coming of age, their children were already considered adults who had to live by themselves, they obviously didn't want to lose some of their already short time with their children.

Ye Feng stood amongst his siblings as they reunited with their mother, the mother was shocked to see Ye Feng and burst into tears as they spoke, in the next few days, Ye Feng bonded together with his family, he showed them his den and what he made, they were pleasantly surprised and also a bit sorry to not have helped Ye Feng since they were told by the Elder that they weren't allowed to help Ye Feng due to the mark.

During those few days, Ye Feng also took the opportunity to train his body, since he had his Attribute Panel, he knew his advancement, he estimated that for one to have a strong foundation, they would need to be at 'Above Mortal', what Ye Feng aimed was 'Peak Mortal' which would be the best foundation, If he trained to get a Foundation, why not get the best foundation, he thought.

After those few days passed, the siblings were left to themselves to live their lives, the first help they received was a house that was built especially for them, although the house was quite small, it was nice since if they worked to help the village, they could have a bigger house and other benefits.

But, since Ye Feng had obtained the opportunity to cultivate, he didn't need to help in regular ways, he was only tasked to help in protecting the Village or participate in events that required cultivators, thus, he was granted a house that was as big as the house he lived in when he lived with his Mother.

Ye Feng continued training and after at least 1 month, his Strength, Speed, and Durability had all reached Peak Mortal, during that time, he also took the opportunity to teach his siblings and mother the training method, although they couldn't cultivate, they could at least have a body at the peak of a mortal and would thus be able to live a healthy life and perhaps even, live longer.

Looking at the 'Peak Mortal' written three times in his Attribute Panel, one would notice his eyes being filled with glimmer, knowing that he would be able to cultivate with the highest foundation, he did the exercises mentioned in the training method a few more times just to be sure and was sure that he was at the Peak since he didn't feel even the slightest increase.

Sitting on his bed, he closed his eyes and started cultivating, soon, he felt a rejuvenating energy entering his body, "This is truly different from Mental Power cultivation!" he exclaimed, he didn't understand the point of the trial of patience and will when cultivating felt so good, without wondering why for too long, he went back to cultivating.

Cultivating Qi was different from cultivating Mental Power, when he cultivated Mental Power, he didn't feel anything, if not for the fact he knew he was cultivating instinctively, and if not for the results at the end, he would've thought he was being scammed again, as, for Cultivating Qi, it felt as if he was in an extremely comfortable warm bath, sleeping while being immersed with it with his open pores.

He didn't know for how long he cultivated as he opened his eyes, his forehead oozing with sweat, he now understood all those trials that he deemed pointless, at some point, he felt as if his body was being scorched and he was being cooked alive which directly disrupted his cultivation.

He checked his Attribute Panel

[Name: Ye Feng

Race: Furbun

Cultivation Realm: Beginning Quasi-Warrior

Strength: Advanced Quasi-Warrior

Durability: Advanced Quasi-Warrior

Speed: Advanced Quasi-Warrior

Mental Power: 8 Star Warrior

Cultivation Arts: Furbun's Rise (Second Level [15%]), Sun-Burning Heat (First Level [0%])]

Talent: Peak-Heaven Spirit Root]

As he had expected, his Cultivation had increased, yet, the values in Strength, Durability, and Speed were too abnormal, he knew the System mustn't be lying to him but how could he be as strong as people 2 ranks above him?

He pondered and could only attribute it to his Cultivation Technique and the way the strength of each realm was rated, he deemed that each realm was rated by the average of each people in that realm which would mean the average of people using the lowest kind of Cultivation Technique and with the worst foundation and the ones using Divine Cultivation Technique with the best foundation, it should be that due to Sun-Burning Heat being a Heaven Cultivation Technique and what should be the best foundation at his level, he would certainly be above average, nonetheless if he met people that were also above average, those values meant nothing.

After having put his first foot into cultivation, Ye Feng stretched and thought about what to do next, he certainly couldn't only cultivate, due to the Luck he had received from the System, doing closed cultivation would be counter-productive, he had to go farther and farther and obtain more opportunities.

Ye Feng sighed, he divided his days into 3 parts, 1 would be roaming around searching for opportunities, 1 would be cultivating his Mental Power, 1 would be cultivating Qi. Since he should've cultivated his Qi for a while now, he went back to cultivating his Mental Power but was stunned to find out that after cultivating Qi, his Mental Power had also increased, although it had increased by only a small amount.
