World Scenery Building

According to Liu Fu's description, the Spirit Qi in the world has different attributes, which we call them the elements. The ordinary elements are fire, water, wood, earth. And the variations are metal, ice and wind.

The word ordinary doesn't mean that they are weaker but means that they are those most common.

"The sect has Five Elemental Halls, four for the ordinary elements and the ice element since it's the sect's signature, remember the name of the sect." Said Lui Fu

"When someone enters an elemental hall, cultivating that specific element will be three times faster but the price is not cheap, each day is twenty spirit stones or the equivalent of contribution points.

There's also another hall, which is called Golden Body Hall. It's used by those cultivators who cultivate their bodies, the hall contains some demons at the Violet Core realm and other demons slightly weaker. These demon beasts are kept inside the hall for the purpose of allowing disciples to absorb their vitality and strengthen their physical bodies.

To protect the disciples, the sect has set up an array formation around the Golden Body Hall. The formation ensures that the demon beasts stay subdued within the hall, and that they cannot escape nor harm the disciples."

As Wang Yu listened to the description of the Golden Body Hall, he felt a surge of excitement. If he could cultivate there, then won't his cultivation speed of the Everlasting Turtle Technique skyrocket.

"Are only body cultivators allowed to enter the hall?" Asked Wang Yu, who had been silent during Lui Fu's explanation.

"No, anyone can enter as long as they pay. But since it's very expensive those who are not cultivating their bodies would rarely enter it, nonetheless some people still enter it since it can temper the cultivator's body making it stronger which can be quite helpful when fighting." Answered Liu Fu.

"How much is the fee?" Asked Wang Yu, unable to hide his excitement.

"It's a hundred spirit stones for a day, could it be that you are interested in cultivating your body. Your body is strong and it's good to improve it. But you'll need Bloodline Cultivation the further you go on this path, since humans aren't born with strong bodies."

Hearing the price, Wang Yu became slightly disappointed and seeing this, Lui Fu said "I forgot to tell you that each new disciple has three free entries to the Elemental Halls or one free entry to the Golden Body Hall. Before making a decision, I will pay for you to enter with me to one of the Elemental Halls. I think The Fire Elemental Hall is compatible with both of us, so let's go there, but before that I will take you to see beautiful scenery."

Wang Yu was interested in the scenery that Lui Fu had proposed to see, so he hurriedly said "Let's go."

Today, Wang Yu could tell that the sect has become more active. It reminded him of the first day he entered the sect, remembering that day, he felt reminiscent about the past, it has been about two years since his first entry to the sect.

On the way, Wang Yu and Liu Fu had met some acquaintances, especially Liu Fu whom some newbies and some disciples that had entered the sect one year before now, they called him senior brother, hearing that he would smugly look at Wang Yu. He wanted to tease him but unfortunately Wang Yu kept his face calm as if he heard nothing.

Inside the sect, there was a long building called the World Scenery, it was only lower than the Sect's peak, which was the place where the sect's important figures stayed, anyone who goes there, without a permission will be punished severely.

To ascend via the World Scenery, one would need to pay ten spirit stones, and bring two people with him at most.

The World Scenery consisted of some elevators, each elevator had a disciple from the Array Formation department responsible for its usage.

Right after entering the World Scenery building, Liu Fu went to an elevator which was made of some special ore that had a rainbow color, it was the Rainbow Copper Ore. The elevator's movements were ensured by an array formation, at its center were three spirit stones used as fuel.

After paying the money, a disciple that was responsible for the elevator commanded it and soon Wang Yu felt his body getting lifted, the speed was great but strangely he didn't feel any discomfort, which reminded him of the introductory he had read about the Array Formations, they were really helpful.

Right after entering the reaching the peak, Liu Fu joked "Wang Yu, why don't call me Senior Brother. It's not that I want it, but is the proper way."

"Seeing how generous you have been today, I thought you were possessed. But it seems I was overthinking. Hell, if I can beat you, then why should I call you a senior brother."

"Hmph, you've never seen me fight Wang Yu. My bow is enough to make Immortals shiver …" Said Lui Fu before being interrupted by Wang Yu.

"And tremble at my sight, I shall sail to the immortal land, hunt dragons, grill their meat with phoenix fire, wear clothes made from Qilin's skin." Continued Wang Yu, who seemed to have repeated this song many times in the past.

Looking down at the sect, and the Darkness Forest, Liu Fu sighed. "Life is really strange, when you are young. You think it's easy to achieve your dreams, as if the world is there for you. But when you grow old, you start to lose confidence, and think that your initial dreams are fairy tales."

Wang Yu nodded his head, before continuing "This is the simple truth that everyone has felt no matter who they are. Yet only a few of them will choose to go against the odds and either achieve their dreams or perish." Looking down at the majestic buildings that looked small from high above, Wang Yu remembered the words of That were carved on the three of The Dream World. 'Always be vigilant and never overestimate yourself, above every peak's another one'.

"Do you remember how I used to tell you about the existence of immortals! You will always laugh at how naive I'm. Now we have both become cultivators, but why do I feel so distant from my dream.

While others dream of achieving glory, living longer, having beautiful ladies by their side, or fighting and being remembered all the time. My dream is simple, it's to travel the world by a small and mundane boat, but when I learn about the dangers that exist in the world, I start to hesitate, maybe I should go later when I become stronger! I say." Being by Wang Yu's side, Liu Fu felt as if he returned to the village, as if he had returned to his usual carefree life.

Wang Yu stood silent for a moment while looking at the beautiful scenery, he also remembered about his dream of drawing the world, which had stopped right before beginning because of the death of his comrades. He felt that it may be time to paint again. He has met his childhood friend and his past fiance, he has become a normal disciple and enjoyed some privileges, and his life has really improved a lot.

"How about you make a painting of this scenery, I missed the days when I sat by your side when you were painting. Besides, we have a lot of free time." proposed Liu Fu.

Liu Fu then took out a canvas and some paints from his storage pouch.

Wang Yu felt tempted yet hesitant. A moment later he took canvas and paints, he also took his brush, the canvas's quality was better than any canvas he had used before, the same went for the paint.

Wang Yu silently surveyed the landscape. His gaze landed on the Forest below, its huge trees were high and robust, even the strong wind was unable to sway them a bit. He also saw a city with high walls inside the forest. That city stood out because of how sparse the trees around it were.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Yu began to sketch the outline of the landscape onto the canvas. He started with the horizon, making sure to draw the cloud that were blocking the sun. Next, he added the sect's different buildings. He slightly slowed when he reached the servant's district, he then continued and finally drew the forest and the city while making sure to capture their unique shapes and textures.

As he painted, Wang Yu lost track of time. He was completely absorbed in his work, focused solely on capturing the essence of the landscape before him. The colors he used were vibrant and bold, each brushstroke adding depth and dimension to the scene.

Three hours later he stopped painting. During the process of painting, he felt his spirit improving as if some shackles that were on him were breaking. And after finishing the painting, he felt a strange sensation of happiness. Unknown to him, his eyes were slightly moist at this moment.

Liu Fu didn't interrupt him, he just stood there admiring the painting. He knew that his friend had gone through a lot of hardship to enter the sect, for someone who was frail and weak two years ago, to reach this level wasn't simple.

"Take, this is my gift for you. This is worth more than all the spirit stones you have spent today, keep the change." Wang Yu laughed before handing the picture to Liu Fu, who felt happy seeing his friend in this state.

"Oh, Almighty Imperial Painter. I'm honored to receive this gift."

The two of them descended the elevator while laughing maniacally, the people inside the World Scenery felt weird hearing the laughing. Usually, people who enter would leave in a state of calmness.

"Now we are going to enter the Fire Elemental Hall. You will see how different it is to be rich or to be poor." Liu Fu then led Wang Yu toward the hall.
