Chapter 4: Cultivation Organization_1
Translator:549690339
Across from the secondary school, Pei Jinye looked at Ice Sister with a surprised expression.
He had not expected that she would be waiting for him here.
What is this?
He now held a bronze crescent in his hand, which bore the number [11] and a line of small characters with an address. Pei Jinye, not understanding, looked up.
In this world, there are always some secret cultivation pavilions where both Transcendents and unawakened youngsters can go to train, Ice Sister explained. The item in your hand is an entry token for the [Bronze Association], and with it, you can enter and train whenever you like. However, you only have five months left until the big exam, so its up to you to make good use of your time. Moreover, there is a cultivation technique at the pavilion known as the [Blood Drawing Art], which can help you better control your vitality and, of course, greatly enhance your physical body.
Upon hearing Ice Sisters words, Pei Jinye was stunned for a moment.
A cultivation pavilion?
Whether it was the memories of his former self or the information he had gathered himself, he had never come across any cultivation pavilion. It was completely unheard of.
Indeed, being too weak meant being oblivious to many things.
But still
Is this thing very expensive? Pei Jinye asked, holding the crescent, somewhat uncertain.
After all, theres no such thing as a free lunch
Ice Sister frowned slightly, not really wanting to explain, but she added one more sentence, In my hands, this thing is just a piece of scrap iron. If I give it to you, its yours. Whats with all the questions? Do you want it or not?
I do! Pei Jinye grinned in gratitude.
But before he could voice his thanks, Ice Sister, impatient, waved her hand dismissively, Dont talk about repaying me. Youre too weak. Awaken first, then talk.
Pei Jinye tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Ice Sisters way of speaking was indeed blunt.
However, her words were not wrong. He had not even awakened yet, so talking about repayment was as good as talking about nothing.
Still, he now had a trump card, and awakening was imperative!
As Ice Sister turned to leave, Pei Jinyes voice suddenly called out, Ice Sister, thank you.
Without turning her head, Ice Sister waved, stepped into the sedan by the roadside, and quickly disappeared into the traffic.
Pei Jinye withdrew his gaze, his heart warmed, looking at the bronze crescent in his hand and murmuring to himself.
There are still good people in this world
Five minutes later, the light rail train departed, and Pei Jinye walked through the car without finding the orb of light. Regretfully, he settled in a corner.
He then used his cell phone to call home, giving an early heads-up that he would return late, so as not to worry his parents.
He planned to check out the Bronze Association right away.
The journey wasnt short. The light rail train took over twenty minutes, and during this time, his vitality was slowly increasing, as though it was about to break through 1.5 cards.
Xuan Ninth District, Hibiscus Lane, number 178
After asking two pedestrians, Pei Jinye finally found the real entrance to the Bronze Association.
It had to be said that it was well hidden.
After navigating at least seven different alleys, and noting that there were not many surveillance cameras around, it seemed that even smart brains couldnt detect this place.
Pei Jinye knocked on the door with the knocker.
It wasnt long before the vermillion door opened and a round head peeked out. The person was quite young, in his early twenties, with a plump face, but spoke politely, May I ask who youre looking for?
Pei Jinye took out the crescent, Hello, Im here to join.
The other person looked at Pei Jinye, then at the crescent with surprise and suspicion, Just you alone?
Pei Jinye nodded.
The man gave him a curious glance, sized him up quietly, and without wasting words, opened the door to let him in. He didnt touch the bronze crescent and led Pei Jinye through the long corridor toward the back courtyard in silence.
Along the way, Pei Jinye saw a few young men in blue martial robes. They noticed him too and openly sized him up without any attempt at discretion.
A newcomer?
Looks like it.
But why is he alone? Didnt his family send someone with him?
Dont recognize him, which familys offspring from out of town?
Or perhaps he got in through the back door?
The murmuring voices reached Pei Jinyes side, but his expression remained unchanged.
He had understood before arriving that cultivation was inseparable from money, and that those who could afford to cultivate here definitely had some wealth in their families.
However, what did that have to do with him? He was simply here to cultivate.
Here we are, wait for me a moment, Ill go notify them.
Thank you for the trouble.
Pei Jinye stood quietly at the entrance, looking at this huge household that imitated an ancient courtyard, just the courtyard itself was bigger than his familys previous house.
Wealthy indeed..
As he was thinking, the door opened and the fat man came out, Teacher Chang is calling you in, just answer whatever questions he asks directly.
Understood, thank you.
The fat man shook his head without saying anything more and left. Pei Jinye stood at the entrance, took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and gently closed it behind him.
Directly in front of him, a gray-haired old man wearing loungewear squinted over at him, holding a smoking pipe, and took a puff.
Wheres the Crescent Moon Order?
Pei Jinye handed it over with both hands.
The gray-haired old man received it carelessly, inspected both sides, and then chuckled softly, Indeed, its hers, quite interesting.
He looked up and down at Pei Jinye, From the looks of you, aside from the breathing method learned at school, you havent cultivated anything else, right?
Thats correct, Teacher Chang, Pei Jinye replied honestly.
The gray-haired old man lazily took another puff, the smoke swirled around, the pungent smell was somewhat irritating, but Pei Jinye seemed as if he hadnt noticed it at all.
The gray-haired old man slowly said, Did she explain to you clearly that studying here isnt free?
Pei Jinyes heart tightened, and he replied with a serious tone, I am unaware, please enlighten me, Teacher Chang.
The gray-haired old man seemed unsurprised, Cultivating here requires a fee, I will teach you the Blood Drawing Art, provide a daily dose of medicinal soup, and if you do well with the Blood Drawing Art, Ill teach you techniques, of course, the teaching fee is not cheap.
Pei Jinye remained silent.
If Ice Sister had noticed his predicament, she wouldnt have sent him here just to be turned away.
The gray-haired old man smiled, Of course, since she personally recommended you, the tuition can be waived, but I need to be clear about one thing, the Crescent Moon Order indeed can recommend someone, but there are time limitations, I cant provide free support forever.
Please proceed, Teacher Chang, Pei Jinye said calmly.
The gray-haired old man said indifferently, After one month, if you cant pass the cultivation technique assessment, youll leave the way you came.
Pei Jinyes heart fluctuated briefly and he asked cautiously, What if I pass?
The gray-haired old man paused, looked at him, then laughed softly without replying but pressed the intercom on his desk, Little Yin, come here for a moment.
Almost instantly.
There was a knock on the door.
The gray-haired old man said flatly, Enter.
Pei Jinye turned his head to look.
A tall young woman entered, her skin dark, her build sturdy, but she appeared to have no excess fat, just pure muscle.
Teacher Chang, Li Xiaoyin entered the room expressionlessly, seemingly not even noticing Pei Jinye, and respectfully greeted the old man smoking at the desk.
The gray-haired old man gestured towards Pei Jinye, This is a new disciple, youll be responsible for teaching him the Drawing Blood Art, hone his physical body first before teaching.
Yes, Teacher Chang.
Li Xiaoyin looked at Pei Jinye and said bluntly, Follow me.
Pei Jinye looked towards Teacher Chang, bowed respectfully with his hands clasped, and then followed Li Xiaoyin out.
Back in the room.
Teacher Chang held the smoking pipe with one hand, puffing away, and with his other hand, he fiddled with the Crescent Moon Order, Just for this kid, youre willing to use this favor?
