Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

"I should have enough for a month now." Feng muttered as he ran through the streets. 'And I definitely can't work there again. This was just a one time thing…'

Making the amount of money that he did today was the same as what many pounders made in a month. While it wasn't an amount that might catch the eye of the shop's staff, what it would is Feng's ability.

After all, not many would be able to work as he did. At least not without enough power which meant that he had to be a cultivator.

A cultivator in Tieba city could easily make a lot more money from several avenues. But Feng working as a Pounder would be taken as something suspicious. Doing it once was okay, since it could be taken as a one off thing.

But if he did it again, it would not be normal.

Besides. Feng never wanted to do this as a job. It was only to get some cash that he could spend on his immediate needs.

"Here it is," Feng came to stop before a large building that was spread in nearly a hundred meter wide plot.

A name board hung on its multiple entrances, which read: White Sheep Inn.

"While this one is a little expensive, I shouldn't be disturbed here for a month." Feng said to himself as he stepped into the inn.

The inn and the blacksmith that he had been to earlier sounded rather similar because they were owned by a single clan, the Yang clan. One of the family members ran the Black Sheep blacksmith, and another ran the White Sheep Inn.

The Yang clan was one of the more influential powers of the Tieba city and had their hands in many kinds of businesses.

The White Sheep in catered to people of all types, whether they be rich or poor. This was also the reason why it had multiple entrances.

One could take the entrance that suited their budget the most. And each of the entrances was modeled accordingly, too. The one meant for rich people was lined with marble and pots with fragrant flowers were placed along it. The attendants standing on its sides were also beautiful women.

While the one that Feng was taking was very simple, with a brick floor and wooden pillars. There were no extra decorations and only a couple of tough looking guards stood on it sides.

But even if there were different kinds of entrances and features in the inn, one thing the inn ensured was safety. Which is why many people preferred the White Sheep Inn in this area.

Feng could have chosen inn's that were a lot more cheaper than this, but it would also come with its own issues and trouble that might disturb him. This was not what he wanted, as he simply wanted to focus on cultivation.

Checking into the Inn was a quick process and Feng merely needed to pay the fees for the room in advance and he was given a key. Though no one guided him to his room and he had to go there on his own.

The quality of service here was non existent here, after all.

~Creak~

The door of the room was rather creaky, and the insides were old. There was a simple wooden bed with a table and chair in the room.

"At least it's clean…" Feng muttered and sat on the bed.

He took off the mask and went through the memories in his mind. There were a lot of them, and it took him the entire night to go through them one time.

"There's indeed a lot to the world of cultivation… so many realms… so many powers… occupations… beasts… plants… and a lot more." Feng recalled everything that he had learned last night.

Lin Wu had made a comprehensive set of information that should place Feng at least several notches above the baseline for cultivators in the world. He couldn't have him be ignorant after all.

But even after going through all the information, there was still the most important part left that of cultivation.

"The cultivation technique isn't simple… just how many steps are there?" Feng was a little lost.

While he didn't need to 'memorize' the cultivation technique, since it was in his mind, he still needed to get used to it and practice it. But doing so was complex due to the many concepts he was not used to.

Such as the meridian paths, Qi circuits, and a lot more.

Thankfully, he had already reached the early stage of the Qi refining realm due to Lin Wu's infusion and simply needed to sense the spirit Qi flowing naturally through his body to learn about his meridians.

Soon he also figured out his natural Qi circuits as well as how to control his spirit Qi.

If anyone from a sect or other power were to see how quickly Feng was mastering it all, they would be stunned, to say the least. Things like these are too months to learn for even the average disciple of a top sect.

After all, even children of the top clans started cultivating when they reached a certain level of theoretical understanding. The reason they had an advantage wasn't just because they had a talent, but because they were taught about the necessary concepts from the very start.

Now Feng had covered the lack of his conceptual foundation in just a matter of two days.

~huu~

"Let's try this again, shall we?" Feng said to himself, and finally used the unnamed cultivation technique that had been given to him.

At first he sensed the spirit Qi within him, then the spirit Qi around him. Then following the breathing method prescribed in the cultivation technique, he started practicing it.

~WHOOSH~

But in just a minute, he felt like he was being drowned and water was being poured down his mouth and nose.

"UGH! What was that?" Feng said, and patted his hand on the bed.

~HUALA~

~KACHA~

But then the bed broke under him.
