Gate of Immortality

Chapter 9: Preparation for the seize

" Are you telling the truth?" The patriarch of Ma clan questioned with an agitated tone.

" Patriarch, It's true. I heard them talking something about a treasure that is going to appear in three days." the elder, who went to the forest, said.

" Presented elders, What are your opinion about this matter?" Ma Xiao Kong, the patriarch of Ma clan, asked to the elders.

Patriarch, this is a golden chance which comes in a hundred years. If we could get our hands on this treasure, not only our clan power soar to the sky but also our rebellion against Royal clan will succeed," One of the elders said.

Hmm, but patriarch, we should not put all of our eggs in one basket. What will happen if the news of treasure is a hoax?" argued someone.

" Second Elder, although your argument sounds right, we need to take risks for a better reward. Otherwise think about it, why an expert at Palace realm will appear there?"

" But we need to calculate the casualties that will happen during this expedition. Don't forget, the inner region of Deep-sky forest is full of high-rank ferocious beasts and demonic beasts."

" Hmm, I think I have a way to lessen our casualties." an elder said.

" Really?" everyone exclaimed.

" According to you, the light pillar was formed by the treasure. Don't you remember, when the light appeared, all the beast were frightened and retreat to the forest? The treasure must have the power to repel the beasts. If we can reach the perimeter of the treasure quickly, the danger from the beasts will lessen."

" What the first elder said is true, but what if we can't use the treasure? We don't know anything about this."

" If we can't use the treasure, we could use it to curry favor with those peoples. Those people must know something about this."

" The only problem remained now is, How we are going to face the mysterious expert, who is coming for the transaction?"

"He doesn't know that we also know about the treasure and the key. We will go to that place and grab the treasure before he comes to our clan. If he asks about the meteorite, we will say that we sold it to another expert."

" All right, everything is settled. Prepare all disciples and elders for the expedition."

" Yes, Patriarch."

Yang Shi was very busy during the last ten days.

" Finally, I got the tailor-made cultivation technique. Its name is [ Basic Qi circulation art ]. It's the most basic way to cultivate Qi and becoming a cultivator. Since I can't use those top techniques, I will try this method."

As Yang Shi started to using this method, he could feel the Qi around him. Sadly, no matter what he did, the Qi disperses within his body, He couldn't circulate in his body." What divine body, This body is divine TRASH. What the hell I am gonna do now? Wait a second, Why I don't practice the martial arts from earth?!!". After Yang Shi awakened in this world, He was astonished to find that he remembered every book related to martial arts, which he used to read at the Old man's house.

Earth's martial arts are different from cultivation techniques. Martial arts separated by two types, body arts and internal energy arts. Body arts are common. It consisted of attacking, defending, and agile movement through arms and legs.

Internal energy arts are rare. It helps the user to circulate the power which is inside of humans from primordial time. It is vastly different from cultivators, who absorbs the Qi of heaven and earth. Of course, In the long run, cultivators will become stronger than a martial artist. Yang Shi picked an attack-type body art [ Ghost fist ]

and an agility type leg art [ Wind parting footwork ]. Yang Shi chose these because these two are low-grade martial arts and fast to learn. Martial arts has four grade. Mortal, Master, Earth, and Heaven.

Each grade has four-levels, Initial, Middle, Advance, and High. The two technique Yang Shi chose was Master grade martial arts. Surprisingly, with constant practice, in ten days, Yang Shi reached the peak initial level of these arts, which is needed to practice of years.

" Things of home are always best. It seems I am a martial art genius. With this level, I should be able to beat some Qi realm cultivators". Cultivators of the Qi condensation stage are just a little more powerful than mortals. In this realm, one needs to sense the surrounding Qi and draw it to the body. Then store the Qi within your flesh so that you could use it for attack, defense, and speed. At last, guide the Qi through your meridians and knock open the gate of dantian[1]. The dantian is the permanent storage of one's Qi, and its storing capability is ten times higher than flesh and muscles. After all these, cultivators will step into {Spiritual Ascension realm}.

The problem is Yang Shi could sense the Qi, but he could not draw it." I will do something about it after this mess."

While resting, Yang Shi said " Damn, you system. You showed me the mission but never appear when I call you. I really need some overpowered techniques. Is it not the way things happen generally?. Just give me some OP powers already". A light screen appeared. Seeing the screen, Yang Shi became ecstatic, But when he read the content on it, His face darkened as a pot. On the light screen written,{ You dumbass, you will get shit from this because you ain't got any system in the first place. These missions are given because you are very dumb to find your own way. Earn treasure with your own power, don't whine like a sissy.}

Yang Shi swore to beat the person to death who is behind this. As the dawn came near, Yang Shi got prepared to welcome those Ma clan people.

A man with closed eyes murmured " Hmph, damned brat, wanting an OP system. Those earth's web novels are so unrealistic. How can such a system exist? Reincarnation and possession are more feasible".

This man was no other than Samsara Emperor, who is studying Yang Shi's memory.
