The chief was confused as to why his god would make him drink the water from the sea that was full of salt. The villagers were equally confused as to what exactly was going on. Ning on the other hand did not answer.
He instead just closed his eyes and put his right hand into the water. A small hum started appearing from the bucket as it started vibrating very fast. After a few seconds, Ning opened his eyes and said once again, "Alright, drink it now."
The chief hesitated a little and scooped some of the water, drinking it once more. Only this time, he didn't freak out.
"This is just normal water now," the chief said with a bit of surprise on his face.
"Yes, and I will teach you, people, how to do that. Same with the food. You won't have to only eat fish. I will teach you how to grow a lot of different foods."
Starting then, Ning began teaching the villagers how to read and write. He couldn't make them filter water right now, or teach them cultivation methods since he didn't have much energy at the moment.
He taught them reading and writing in the alphabet of their own language. The Intermediate Klavian language he had bought not only gave him translations ability, he could also read it and write it. Only, for some reason, the Klavians had forgotten them by now.
"Many centuries must have passed away," Ning thought. "I wouldn't be surprised if they were learning the wrong Sun God's Morning Cleansing Technique either." Ning thought he needed to buy it as soon as possible.
But when he asked the system for the price, it had told him that the original technique would cost him 860 Million in Energy. So, he had a lot of time to spend again. After teaching the people, he went back to Hyesi's house and kept the potatoes in a cool and dark place to have them grow eyes.
The next month passed in a similar fashion. Every morning, Ning would wake up from his cultivation and walk back to the village from his own house. He would then use Yin to Sound conversion to gather as much energy as he could.
After that, he would eat and drink something to satiate his hunger and start teaching the people of the village. After a few hours, he would go back to his house to cultivate.
During these times, he had already taken the potatoes and started growing them. They were already showing small plants on top of where they were buried. He would go to the other island from time to time to check on these potatoes and bring back some fruits and meats.
Otherwise, he would just spend his days cultivating. Although he had started to gather a lot of Qi by now, he still hadn't felt what they called a breakthrough. Almost as if, even after a month of cultivation, he wasn't at that point yet.
On the days he knew there was food, he wouldn't miss it in the evening. Otherwise, he would just keep on cultivating.
His cultivation would usually last through the entire night. Before daybreak, he would once more go back to the village to start over his day again.
It was currently the morning and the sun had just risen up. However, it was a slightly different day from the other ones, and that was because he had gathered a bit over 900 Million energy, and he could finally buy the original Sun God's Morning Cleansing Technique.
'System. Buy the Sun God's Morning Cleansing Technique,' he ordered.
'Yes.'
He had just bought a skill, so there was no sudden information that appeared aside from what he had to do for the technique to work itself. The Sun God's Morning Cleansing Technique was a set of movements he would have to do just before the sun was seen on the horizon and end when the sun was fully out of the horizon.
This day, he decided to not cultivate and instead just practice the technique.
His mind knew what he had to do, but his body didn't. So he thought it would be a good idea to teach it what had to be done. He taught the villagers for a few hours less today. In a month, most of them were already able to read, but the writing was still a little hard for them.
After finishing today's class, he went to a quiet spot on the island and started practicing. At first, he was kind of stiff, not really knowing what had to be done, but over the course of the day, he learned a lot.
He wasn't perfect at it, but he wasn't very bad at it either. It was actually better than most of the villagers here since they were doing an improper version of the technique.
Over the course of the hundreds of years, the Klavians had lost the exact method of movement for the technique and were using what they could remember instead.
"I should teach them the proper one tomorrow," he thought.
After practicing for a couple of more hours, he went to the village to enjoy the meat he had caught a few days ago. After eating that, he went back to his home to cultivate.
'Urghh, I shouldn't have immediately moved around so much for so long. I'm getting TIIIIREEED now," he said mid-yawn. He sat down in a cross-legged lotus position, to cultivate but his body just wasn't obeying his command.
He had been awake for over a month now. That was impossible for a normal human being. However, perhaps because of the fact that there was no intense physical activity like today, he survived thanks to what little cultivation he was doing.
However, now it had crossed his limits, and before he even knew it, his body drooped down to the warm floor and he fell asleep.
