Cultivation Online

After avoiding the crowd with much effort, Meixiu pushed the wheelchair inside the building, where there were even more people, but since the people were in line in an orderly fashion, it felt much more spacious than outside.

It took a moment since there were multiple lines, but once Meixiu found the end of a line, she went there with Yuan.

While they waited in line, Yuan used his Divine Sense to look at the place and the people there.

The majority of people there were between the third level and the fifth level with a couple at the sixth level. Of course, all of them were still Spirit Apprentices.

Meixiu also looked around while they waited.

The interior of the building was quite bland, and there was barely any furniture or decoration. At the end of the room, there were a couple of desks with a clerk working behind it.

"I have been thinking, Meixiu, but how does the registration even work? Do they have some sort of device that can gauge our cultivation?" Yuan suddenly asked.

"I'm not sure, actually. I didn't really look into it. However, I don't see any devices in the front. Let me look it up real quick."

Meixiu proceeded to take out her cellphone and searched about the Cultivators' Association.

A few minutes later, she said, "According to this website, we only have to prove to them that we can cultivate in order to register as a cultivator. If we want to join the Cultivators' Association, we will need to undergo some sort of exam."

"Oh, we only need to prove to them that we can cultivate? That's easier than I'd thought." Yuan said.

They continued to wait, and after about two hours of waiting, they finally reached the front.

"How mayI help you?" The woman behind the desk asked them.

"We're here to register as a cultivator," Meixiu said.

"I understand. Can I see your identification?"

"Identification?"

It was at this moment she realized that they didn't have any identification on them.

"Are identifications necessary? We didn't bring any." Meixiu said a moment later.

"If you don't have any identification on you, we will need your fingerprints. This is only to make sure that you're not a criminal or have any criminal record." The woman said to her.

"Okay, we can do that instead." Meixiu nodded.

"Great. Please scan your index finger on this."

The woman then handed her a small device that scanned fingerprints.

Meixiu placed her index finger on the device and waited until the woman spoke again, "Okay, you can take your finger off now."

"Give me a minute to run your fingerprint through the database."

Sometime later, Meixiu's information appeared on the screen.

When the woman saw that she was from the Yu Family, her eyes widened with surprise.

If she was from the Yu Family, why didn't she say so in the beginning?

Even though Meixiu and Yuan left the Yu Family, they're still technically part of the family since the Yu Family didn't remove them from the database.

"Okay, you're cleared. Please go to the room behind me for the next step."

Meixiu then said while pointing at Yuan, "We're together, and he's also here to register as a cultivator. Can we go inside together?"

"He's also a cultivator?" The woman raised her eyebrow when she saw Yuan.

"I will have to run his fingerprints as well." The woman said.

"Okay."

Meixiu proceeded to help Yuan place his finger on the device.

Sometime later, Yuan's information appeared on the screen for the woman to see.

'Yu Tian? He's also from the Yu Family! And he's even their son! I thought they only had a daughter!' The woman was shocked to see this, as she was only aware of Yu Rou's existence.

"Alright… I have cleared him as well." The woman said a moment later.

"Thank you."

Meixiu left the desk and walked to the door at the end of the hall a moment later with Yuan, which led to another large and spacious room.

The interior of this room looked like an empty gym, and there were people sitting in the lotus position near the middle of the room, absorbing the spiritual energy in the air.

A person only needed to continuously absorb spiritual energy for a minute straight to be deemed a cultivator, so the line moved relatively fast.

About half an hour later, Meixiu and Yuan reached the front of the line.

"Next!"

A bulky middle-aged man with a stopwatch turned to look at Meixiu after the previous individual left his seat.

"I will be right back, Yuan," Meixiu said as she left his side and took a seat beside the bulky man.

"Good luck," he said to her.

"I will start the time once you begin to cultivate. You must cultivate without stopping for an entire minute to qualify as a cultivator," he said to her.

She then took a deep breath and began to recite the Divine-grade cultivation technique inside her mind.

Very quickly, the spiritual energy in the building began flying towards Meixiu, creating a small vortex around her.

"W-What the heck is that cultivation speed?!"

The bulky man and the others were shocked when they saw how quickly Meixiu was absorbing the spiritual energy.

"Heavens… She is a true cultivation genius..." The bulky man mumbled in a dazed voice as he stared at Meixiu's beautiful face, seemingly mesmerized by her.

He has been working here ever since the Cultivators' Association was created, and he has watched tens of thousands of people cultivate during the past few weeks, but none of them could compare to this young beauty cultivating before him right now.

More than a minute has passed since Meixiu started cultivating, but the bulky man didn't say anything, as he'd completely forgotten about the time when watching Meixiu cultivate.

A few more minutes later, Meixiu opened her eyes and turned to look at the bulky man.

"Excuse me, I think it's been more than a minute," she said to him in a calm voice.

"Eh?"

The bulky man quickly looked at his stopwatch, and sure enough, three minutes have passed since Meixiu started cultivating.
