9 THRONES

CHAPTER 102: NEXT GOAL

As Vann was just walking away from Torti, the sound of a Vermilion Bird rang out in his head "Son, you're really very good!".

Vann who was walking towards his house shook his head "That's not very good at all, I just gave him an object that I didn't use. Besides, selling Medicinal Qi doesn't give me much profit. Not to mention with Kyuro's ability, I was able to produce more Medicinal Qi every day, what harm did it do to give some of the Medicinal Qi I got to my friend?".

"No, the action you took was already very good" said Vermilion Bird disagreeing "Many people do not give things that make a profit to others even if the profits are only small. After all, profits are still profits, everyone tries to find the greatest possible profit for himself. You're the one who gave it all that shows you're pretty good".

Vann did not think too much about what the Vermilion Bird said, according to him many people did not mind doing the same for their friend.

Therefore, Vann immediately talked about another matter "In this match, I got 5 Fondation Medicines. If I used all of them, I might have managed to reach Qi Fondation level 8 or 9".

"Don't dream, son!", the voice of the Vermilion Bird rang out again.

"Why? When I was at the 9th level of the Qi Gathering stage, I managed to become a Qi Fondation just by using 1 Fondation Medicine. There should be no problem for the Fondation Medicine to increase 3 to 4 levels of my current strength right?", asked Vann puzzled.

Vermilion Bird's voice replied Vann "If before, it might work but now that I am the holy weapon spirit has become your spirit. My existence causes your cultivation core to become larger, so every time you increase your cultivation, you should at least absorb 5 times more energy as well. The previous 5 Fondation Medicines were able to increase your strength to 4 levels if lucky, but now it is only 1 level! If you are unlucky, your cultivation does not increase at all but rather you become a little stronger".

"What's? You didn't tell me from the beginning!", said Vann in surprise "Does everyone who has a holy spirit have to go through the same circumstances? They needed far more treasures than normal people for their strength to increase? Isn't this unfair?".

Vermilion Bird said again "Where is it unfair? The person who can possess a holy spirit can already be considered very lucky, isn't your fight the best example? With the strength of a Qi Fondation level 5, you are able to defeat a Qi Fondation level 7 without any problems. This is the advantage of the owner of the holy spirit level, even though the enemy you fought was 2 levels above you and he had summoned his spirit, but he still lost because the owner of the power of the holy spirit was much stronger than people on the same level without the holy spirit".

"Therefore, in exchange for their powerful strength, they needed more resources and energy for their cultivation to increase. If a normal person needs 1 resource for them to successfully increase their strength, a person with a holy spirit needs 5 resources, some even require 20 or more resources".

Vann let out a heavy sigh, it seems that the path he has to become a Gold Core is still very long. But Vann did not regret or get angry towards the holy weapon spirit of Vermilion Blood.

However as Vermilion Bird had said just now, Vann's strength greatly increased due to his support as a holy weapon spirit. Without the help of the Vermilion Blood, Vann could not possibly defeat someone who was 2 levels above him and had summoned spirits so easily.

"No problem, I just need to find the resources again later" Vann said.

"Son, I have a plan for your strength to increase very quickly, are you interested in listening?" said the Vermilion Bird.

"How?", asked Vann.

Vermilion Bird wasted no time and directly explained "Didn't Horge dare to send people against you? You may not be able to fight Horge now because your strength is not enough, but that doesn't mean you can't fight Horge's followers right? Not only that, if you go against Horge's followers using the excuse of taking revenge against Horge's attack on your friend Yun Tian, people won't blame you. They may even appreciate your actions caring about friends".

Vann's eyes shone "As the rank 10 strongest elite disciple in the Wood Sword Academy, Horge definitely had a large following in the academy. Not to mention I have heard rank 1 to 5 did not gather any followers at all, they were only interested in cultivating which caused everyone to become a follower of rank 6 to 10 the strongest elite disciples in the academy. I've only fought a few people, but the treasures I've obtained have been this many. When I fight all the followers of Horge--".

Vermilion Bird directly continued Vann's words "I'm sure as long as you get all the treasures from defeating Horge's followers, you must have managed to reach Gold Core, at least Qi Foundation level 9. You also don't have to worry about an angry Horge attacking you without waiting a month later. Based on my observations, Horge is the one who feels his arrogance is most important, when he says something then he will not break it easily because his arrogance must be destroyed".

"So Horge will only observe you defeating all of his followers in anger, but cannot act to help them".

"You are really very smart!", said Vann who rushed towards his house "I decided, my next goal is to challenge and defeat all of Horge's followers in the Wood Sword Academy! After defeating them all, I must have become rich. But before that, I have to absorb all the Fondation Medicines I get. Although the 5 Fondation Medicines cannot increase my strength too much, there is at least still an increase in strength".

"Among Horge's followers, there must be a strong man. Because of this, I have to increase my strength as much as possible before dealing with them".

Vann had reached his house, he was sitting in the living room while taking 5 Medicinal Fondations, Vann was ready to absorb them.

"Your new destination this time isn't easy at all, son! Horge's followers must be very numerous, you might have to fight hundreds of people at a time. Even if they were not all elite disciples, but when attacked by hundreds of people simultaneously, you must be troubled" Vermilion Bird said, reminding Vann of the risks of their new plan.

"I know!", said Vann smiling confidently then eating the Fondation Medicine without hesitation "But I still have to try it, I will definitely win!".
