9 THRONES

CHAPTER 24: THE PATH OF CULTIVATION

At first Vann thought about returning to the warehouse and absorbing the new Medicinal Qi he had made, but considering that Foltra was there, Vann stopped the decision.

Vann was sure the 2 Medicinal Qi in his hand would bring envy to those who saw him, let alone Vann not yet being a cultivator who had the power to protect him.

Therefore, it was possible that Foltra was trying to take Vann's Qi Medicine or to disturb Vann in the midst of cultivating.

Vann did not mean to think ill of Foltra, but there was no harm in being careful.

Not to mention that Medicinal Qi was extremely valuable among Qi Gathering cultivators, whoever cultivators who were at the Qi Gathering stage found Vann to have Medicinal Qi without strength, they might try to take it.

After thinking about all that, Vann decided to directly absorb it in class. Vann also frequently returned to the warehouse at night, so Foltra would not be suspicious.

Cleaning up the entire class of alchemy he had done just now, Vann closed the door again just in case and began to sit on the floor.

Vann was completely unaware Hasel was still in the corner of the room. Hasel had no idea of stealing the Qi Vann Medicine, after all as a teacher like himself, Hasel at least had the strength of a Gold Core or even Soul Wandering, the Qi Medicine had no use whatsoever for him anymore.

He's still here to look after Vann, Hasel has felt there's nobody around, but there's no harm in being careful. Therefore, as long as someone comes here while Vann is still cultivating, he will stop him.

Vann who was sitting on the hand took out a Medicinal Qi and ate it.

When hearing Hasel's explanation in the classroom, Vann already understood cultivators had to move the Qi that appeared in their bodies towards the cultivation core that became the storage of Qi or often called the cultivation energy.

As the Medicinal Qi was already heading towards the stomach, Vann closed his eyes while focusing on his stomach.

Now the Medicinal Qi started to turn into an extremely powerful cultivation energy stream.

Vann moved swiftly flowing his cultivation energy towards the cultivation core.

The cultivation core was like a huge container that stored cultivation energy. Cultivators only needed to absorb the cultivation energy present in medicine, special treasures or heaven and earth to create a full cultivation core.

When the cultivation core already had enough energy, one only needed to have enough understanding as well to increase his strength to the next level.

As long as one's comprehension was not enough, even though they had countless treasures and rare cultivation medicines, they would not be able to increase their cultivation since they were encountering obstacles.

Where that understanding comes from, it can only come from one's understanding or experience.

Vann drained all of his Medicinal Qi which turned into cultivation energy, then the energy at his cultivation core was enough.

Vann had already studied with Hasel these few days, he was sure his understanding of the 1st level Qi Gathering was more than enough.

"Booooom!".

The sound of explosions rang out from the Vann cultivation core, the cultivation core that previously had a lot of cultivation energy started to diminish rapidly.

On the other side of the loss of such cultivation energy, Vann's cultivation core became bigger as well as stronger, not long after which battle energy gathered at Vann's cultivation core which had already developed into a new one.

Vann opened his eyes and felt all the power flowing in his body. If Vann was here yesterday, Vann was no longer his opponent. There were even 20 Vann yesterday or 2 months ago, Vann can now still beat them all with 1 hand.

This showed how much increased Vann's strength from that of a previously non-cultivator, now a cultivator.

Vann thought to test his power to destroy the wall, but he immediately stopped the thought.

The wall in the alchemy room was a special wall that could even withstand the explosion of a bomb due to the failure of making a certain medicine, therefore its defense was not something that Vann could attack right now.

Not to mention he had to pay compensation for destroying the wall, Vann threw away the idea as quickly as possible.

Seeing that there was still plenty of time, Vann took the last remaining Medication Qi and ate it.

Vann performed the same action as before, the cultivation energy at the core of Vann's cultivation returned quite as per the conditions so Vann tried to increase his cultivation level again.

"Booooom!".

The sound of explosions resounded at Vann's cultivation core, his cultivation core became bigger and stronger again than before, the cultivation energy from the newly absorbed Medicinal Qi also disappeared.

Vann managed to reach the Qi Gathering level 2, he could increase his strength by as much as 2 levels with just a very great overnight time.

Hasel on the other hand was a little surprised, he did not think Vann could increase his 2 levels of strength with just 2 Medicinal Qi, he could only sigh "This kid is so lucky-No, no, all this was not only his luck, but also the hard work he did. If Vann had given up halfway before, he would definitely not have succeeded as he did now. I think I can go

now, he had already finished cultivating so that it did not have to be protected anymore".

Hasel's figure disappeared from the room, he returned to his home.

Vann on the other hand jumped excitedly, Qi Gathering level 2.

Although there were still many people above Vann in the Wood Sword Academy, even Vann's strength could be said to be that of a beginner, Vann was still very happy.

Vann did not get the support of the resources from the academy, he barely got any food except lunch and was given cleaning duties every day, there were already many people like him who decided to give up.

But Vann stepped forward through it all, he today managed to climb as many as 2 levels using his own strength, despite Vann's success due to direction from Hasel.

"Tomorrow I must thank Teacher Hasel, besides I don't need to stand in front of the class anymore in order to take the class! The path of cultivation, I Vann finally arrived!", said Vann who decided to return to his warehouse.

It was now so night that he had to return to the warehouse, tomorrow was the right time to show his change and strength.

When he returns to the warehouse, Vann discovers Foltra is asleep.

Vann slept in another empty haystack before starting to sleep, tomorrow he most likely also had to move out of this warehouse.

If he became a student, he could get a few houses in the city near the teaching building to stay.
