Tian went home to his grandma, it has been very long since he spent any proper time with her. While he was on his way, he received a call from Head Master Buck Wing.
"Tian! Where the hell have you been? Didn't I say that you'd be joining the higher class after the tournament?", Head Master Buck Wing was frustrated with this kid. He waited day and night for him at the school, but he didn't even appear once.
"I have already broken through to Energy Advancement realm, why would i want to come back to school? Just let me rest at home. I can pass all the physical tests.", Tian never wanted to go back to the boring school, there's nothing he could do over there.
Head master was shocked beyond belief, he has never seen a monster like him. He has directly broken through from 5th Layer Blood Cultivation to Energy Advancement realm. He went silent for a moment.
"It's all the more reason for you to come to school. The entrance test for the Academies will start after 2 months. If you come to school, we can guide you in your cultivation and battle techniques", Head Master had hopes of raising the fame of his school. If Tian got admitted to a top academy, then things will start changing for the better of the school.
Tian knew that after he completes his school, he would be sent to an academy depending on his performance. There are many types of academies on Earth. Some of the Top Academies were the Military Academy, the Western Alliance Academy and the Heavenly Sky Academy.
The Military Academy mainly focuses on battle techniques, the Western Alliance focuses on Spiritual tools and Spirit Mechanisms and the Heavenly Sky Academy focuses on Alchemy and Inscriptions.
All three academies have their own divisions to teach what is taught by other academies as well, but they were only designed as supporting courses for the specialization courses.
The entrance test is conducted by all the Academies combined. After the test, students will receive offers from various Academies, depending on their performance. It was common knowledge that anyone below Earth realm will never be able to pass the tests.
Head Master buck wing just wanted Tian to get selected in any one of the top 20 Academies. With his genius performance, he thought Tian could easily attract some Academies attention even if he didn't clear the tests.
Tian was never interested in the academies, but he heard that the ones who graduate from the top academies are sent to different planets for administration and postings. Tian really wanted to see how beautiful the other planets are. He wanted to relax and sun bathe on mars, get into cozy warm bed in Uranus and get a perfect view of earth from moon. His desire to seek best comfort for resting has aroused interest in him to get into those academies.
Tian said that he will attend the Test, but he won't be coming to school. He had got where he is without any help form the school, so Head Master also had to agree with his request.
Tian stayed with his grandma and Little White for the next few weeks. He cultivated his Nine Heavens sleeping technique at afternoons and night, used the remaining time to play with Little White and grandma. Seeing Tian spend time with her, grandma got emotional. Tian broke through to Advanced Energy Advancement Realm after a month, he was just a step away from Earth Realm. But no matter how hard he tried, he was not able to open another meridian or break into Earth Realm.
While Tian was having his short "Vacation", the Rising Chaos sect was undergoing a huge Transformation. All six brothers have took some time apart for their cultivation, using the knowledge of Alchemy and Inscriptions they have made many things to boost their cultivation speed. All the brothers have now reached 7th layer of Blood Refinement, only one step away from Energy Advancement Realm.
Under the constant nourishment of the Spiritual energy, the spiritual herbs have grown in large quantity and quality as well. Number Three has also used inscriptions to speed up the harvesting time of those herbs by using a life draining array. The array is powered by the weeds and useless lumber trees in the forest. The array collects the life essence from them at a slow pace and injects them into the herb fields.
This didn't hurt the tree's life span much, as those trees usually live for thousands of years if left undisturbed. Number Six kept the useful herbs in the storage room, while sending the rest to their stores along with the other precious and rare herbs.
The quality of the herbs provided by them instantly gained popularity among Alchemists and with the backing of Manager Zhou, all their stores run their operations smoothly. Number One used his network to increase the popularity and demand of their sect's herbs. The income made from the stores were mainly used for getting more resources into the sect.
Number Six researched using the knowledge provided by his young master. He made a pill that can let anyone under blood refinement realm to jump his cultivation by 3 layers. But it can only be used once. Number Two made it such that the outer sect disciples can earn this using 100 Credit Points.
The outer sect disciples were sent on many missions for hunting beasts for their materials and scouting for rare and spiritual herbs. But they didn't get tired from all the missions, they were more than enthusiastic.
The training rooms built by Number Three are divided into three grades. First grade room increases the spiritual absorption twice the normal speed. Second Grade room increases it four time and Third Grade room increases the speed by 8 times.
These rooms were highly sought after by the disciples. But no one was ever able to afford to cultivate in the Third Grade room, as it requires a whopping 5000 credit points per day.
These people loved to listen to Fifth elder's lectures, they were so profound yet he was able to explain them in a manner they can understand.
Number Four went on with his experiments, but not even one succeeded. The other brothers kept encouraging him, so as not to let him down. The points of outer disciples were recorded manually, as there were many risks in using modern technology for storing such information, because it was very easy to hack.
Number Two tasked Number Four with creating a token that can not only store the Credit points of disciples but also have the ability to transfer one token to another, detect the life signs of the disciples and update it in the main hall. He wanted it to be a tool that is completely independent of modern technology.
Although Number Two's requirements were harsh, they acted as a sort of motivation for him. He kept trying and trying again, he didn't even know how many times he failed. He kept persevering through all his failures.
What Tian didn't mention Number Four was that Spirit Mechanisms was one of the toughest of all other professions. It took many years even for Tian to progress in that. Although Tian's knowledge acted as a source of direction for him, he had to travel the path himself to truly master the art.
Failure is never the end, it's the journey which leads to success eventually.
