Breakthrough

After leaving the hunter association base Wang Yu heard a soft voice talking to him.

"Brother Yu, do you mind joining us?" Looking in the direction of the voice Wang Yu saw a young girl whose age was about the same as his, she had a voluptuous body making her extremely attractive.

"Thank you, but I've taken a mission so I've to go now." Wang Yu didn't have any particular impression of this girl and it wasn't the first time he had been approached by strangers. He would always leave since those kinds of relationships weren't genuine and he wouldn't gain anything from them.

"What an arrogant fellow." After Wang Yu's leave the girl's face turned red with anger. She hadn't experienced this kind of rejection before, it was always she who refused people.

Wang Yu left the sect in a hurry, he couldn't waste this opportunity. Despite a part of him saying that he shouldn't participate in this mission, rationality was telling him to participate beside gaining sect coins, he would see if he had omitted something at that time, he was in a hurry after all.

…..

After leaving the sect Wang Yu didn't go directly to the place where he had killed the youth. It would be suspicious in case someone found out about it. Instead he took many detours making it seem as if he was really searching.

On the way, he met a lot of hunter groups who were searching franctly for the remains of that hunting group. Even some of those senior hunters who weren't obliged to participate in hunting and who would usually not be seen inside the sect, were also searching.

For younger hunters the sect wanted to train them hard by forcing them into deadly missions, but after spending four years the price for immortal elixirs would increase and continue to increase.

This was because hunting inside the sect was extremely helpful to mortals, even if they couldn't become cultivators they would reach the general tier eventually. And inside the periphery they would be unstoppable.

Even though it was easier relatively to reach the general tier in the sect, it was still difficult. So most of the people who reached that level were in their forties or even older, so they generally don't stay in the servant district. Even those at the peak of silver tier would leave the sect, to do some missions.

So the seniors that were searching for the remains of the hunters were only those at the silver tier, As for those who had reached the general tier, they don't participate in any of those activities.

....

Wang Yu continued searching only stopping to greet some of his seniors, despite his cold and detached temperament Wang Yu didn't want to leave a bad impression on other seniors.

The forest had a very unrestful day, fights between hunters and beasts occurred every now and then, but with the emergence of those seniors it was the hunters who had the upper hand.

Wang Yu himself participated in some of those battles but most of the time, he would use his experience and nimble body to evade the eyes and ears of most beasts.

After coming near to where the incident had happened Wang Yu felt some movement, and heard some footsteps moving towards him.

"You should return, this zone is being inspected by us." A threatening voice sounded near Wang Yu, looking in front of him Wang Yu saw three middle aged men, two of them were searching and had their backs against him, while the one who had just threatened him was their guard.

After a moment of silence. "I won't leave, there is no law that states that I can't search this zone." Wang Yu knew full well that if this group continued, half an hour at most and they would find the remaining of that group. While he won't get any benefits, so even if he couldn't obtain all the gains himself, getting some wasn't bad, beside he didn't fear them.

"Don't try your luck boy." The middle aged man was looking angrily at Wang Yu and even wanted to teach him a lesson but was stopped by one of his companions.

"Brother Zu, you have been outside of the sect for a long time that you don't know about our new rising star Wang Yu." One of the middle aged men who looked crafty seemed to know about Wang Yu.

"I'm flattered senior, I have been searching for hours and have found nothing. I want to search here, if after an hour and I don't find anything I would be leaving." Said Wang Yu.

"Of course, it's our pleasure to have you here." Said the crafty middle aged man enthusiastically.

They then continued to search, fifteen minutes later they found a piece of cloth, making the already tired group start to search energetically. Soon they found the place where the group had died.

"If I'm not mistaken, this group was attacked by a group of hyenas and it's a recent one." Said the other guy who hadn't spoken a word since coming and had been searching silently all this time.

"Look, this place here is scorched." Shouted Wang Yu suddenly.

"Yes it is, it should be the group that we are searching for. According to what I've heard, one of them has a brother from the inner sect, so it should be him that used a treasure to burn this. We need to leave soon and report what we have found before someone else comes." Said the middle aged man who had stopped Wang Yu from coming.

Hearing the proposal the group returned hurriedly to the sect, and went directly to the mission hall to report what they had found.

After making sure that what they have said was correct and nothing was suspicious the group received the reward and Wang Yu got 200 sect coins, in truth he had done nothing and without him the group would have found that place nonetheless. But so what without them coming before him Wang Yu would have received all the thousand coins.

Wang Yu continued hunting alone and living inside the forest, two months after the incident he started to bring back beasts that are at the beginning of silver tier. Five months later he bought the meridian opening pill.

Wang Yu's progress shocked the people inside the servant district, and so on the day when he bought the pill almost all the people inside the district knew about it.

After buying the pill, Wang Yu closed the door of his room before sitting and closing his eyes.

A moment later, he started to meditate according to the sect manual. The spirit Qi which he had grown accustomed to during this time entered his body but instead of going to his heart, it went toward his dantian and started to assemble there forming a small vortex which was impacting his dantian, its goal was to rebuild it anew.

An hour later Wang Yu opened his eyes, looking at his body which had some dark substance on it and had a stinky smell. Wang Yu hurried and took a bath.

After changing his clothes Wang Yu smiled, he had finally become a cultivator, even though his cultivation was still low with enough time he was sure to become a great cultivator.

"I will use the dantian opening pill to cultivate the Everlasting turtle technique." Wang Yu became depressed after remembering the Everlasting turtle technique, while it had helped him gain the strength of a peak silver tier, it was hard to evolve. After all this period he was only at the beginning of Mortal Tempering he hadn't even finished tempering his skin.

Swallowing the pill, Wang Yu felt a mild energy entering his body so he guided it toward his heart where it got transformed into vitality then it was absorbed by his body.

Three minutes later, the energy was completely absorbed and Wang Yu felt slightly short from reaching the peak of Body Tempering.

Wang Yu felt an increase in strength, especially his skin which had become thicker. He felt that he wouldn't bleed if he punched a rock, he would even destroy it.

"Sigh, as mentioned inside the technique I would need things which contain a high level of vitality." Wang Yu decided to wait for some time and feel the change inside his body.

Actually he could feel what was behind him and could even see the smallest details around him before breaking through. This all due to the Spirit Pot, nonetheless the change was more prominent after the breakthrough.

He felt an improvement to his spirit as for his body it turned lighter but his body hadn't got any stronger, unlike the everlasting technique which cultivated the body especially, the manual given by the sect didn't focus on strengthening the body.

"Anyway I will finally go, I've stayed inside the servant district for over two years, now that I have the right to truly enter the sect and see the other cultivators. Another chapter of my life shall now begin." Said Wang Yu with a glimmering eyes.
