"Kid, where did you get that pendant?" the old man asked while pointing to the blue crystal.
When Wang Lei saw the blue crystal at the center of his pendant, which has lost its brightness, he only felt now that this blue crystal looked more like an ordinary stone.
"I'm an orphanage; it's always been in my neck since I can remember." Wang Lei said with a sad face.
After a few moments of thought, the old man added, "you might have an outstanding background on the basics of that blue crystal." Wang Lei became puzzled, so the old man explained everything that had happened up to this point.
"I tried many times to open the black box, but it never reacted to me," Old Man explained.
"I also obtained the black book with the black box while I was exploring old legacy."
The old man then pulled a black book from his pocket to show. That black book shooted from the old man's hand toward Wang Lei, hits him on the head, and then vanished. Wang Lei head felt like it was going to explode. He unexpectedly entered a secret domain and noticed a gigantic book in front of him, which was in the old man's hand but was three times the size of his body.
Wang Lei was intrigued by the black book, so he approached it and attempted to open a page. Suddenly, the black book trembles, then only one page left, and everything else vanished without a trace. He began to read the page, and as he progressed through it, his excitement grew. On this page, there was a long term regarding space and time, and it contained two techniques: the storage space technique and the time ratio technique.
"Where are the other pages if this is the first?" Wang Lei mummer.
At the side, the old man was staring at Wang Lei like a dumb kid. Only a few minutes ago, Wang Lei was pressing his head from his hand now he was talking to himself.
"What happened, kid? Don't keep me in the dark; that black book and black box you stole belong to me "With a solemn expression, the Old Man said. Wang Lei paused briefly.
"You don't have to be concerned about me finding out about your secrets. Don't keep me in the dark since I'm going to die in a few days. People who were looking for that black book and the black box put me in this situation "Old man growled angrily.
Then Wang Lei began to narrate all occurrences in detail, knowing that if this type of technique was leaked, it would be disastrous. Everyone will be looking for him, including his family. He also wants to find the answers to many questions that have been bothering him. He notices the old man's condition. He knew the old man wasn't lying to him, and he hoped to get his question answered.
The old man then began to concentrate and attempted to perform the symbol described by Wang Lei with his qi in the air to create space storage. The older man coughed up blood.
"This is really bizarre; at the very final step. I fail."
The old man responded as he turned toward Wang Lei. "Kid, why don't you try this? It might have something to do with you"
Wang Lei felt that this old man was a one-year-old kid even doesn't know that one has to be in a Qi class to run qi outside their body.
"Elder, I am not a qi class cultivator"
The old man had noticed qi fluctuation in Wang Lei's dantian, which meant he had built a qi core, but he didn't know which attribute qi core he had formed, so he called Wang Lei and began inspecting with his precise vision technique. The old man discovered no qi core in Wang Lei's dantian after inspecting his body. The old man then began to pass his qi, but it vanished without a trace.
"Kid, did you notice any changes in your body?" the old man asked.
Wang Lei was aware that this old man was confirming something, but he had no idea that the old man was looking for his qi core.
The old man started touching every part of Wang Lei body and transferring qi, but the result was the same. The old man even wants to try in Wang Lei butt and manly spot, but the old man stopped. Wang Lei felt that this old man is the biggest pervert, even from male to male.
At that same time, the old man was thinking 'how the f**k did this brat all vein absorb qi. Even I've only ten qi veins. Did this brat all body vein turn into qi vein.'
The old man trembles with his own thought. Only one thing old man knows is that he witness the birth of a monster.
"Kid, your body has strangely evolved," the old guy stated as he began to explain all of his findings to Wang Lei.
When Wang Lei heard the old man's words, he was taken aback.
The old man also confirmed that Wang Lei is a qi class cultivator, but he couldn't discover any core, so he started teaching Wang Lei how to subtract qi outside the body, something only qi class martial artists can do. He only needed one hour to learn, and when he withdrew qi, it was colorless.
The old man had never seen colorless qi; those qi class cultivators' qi color is affiliated to their core. Qi core possessed certain attributed, however when they refined the qi into their body. It will vary in color depending on their core attributes. (For example, fire is a red color; earth is a green color, and so on.)
"You are now a qi class cultivator," Old guy remarked after taking a deep breath. Wang Lei had no idea what a qi class cultivator was, so he embarrassedly asked the old man.
"There are many levels in the cultivation system, even humans didn't know. I will only tell you difference between body class and Qi class.
Old man said seriously "Both class cultivation system is the same, but the starting point is different. The body classes are those people who cannot form qi core so, they mainly focus to increase the strength of their body at soldier and warrior level while, Qi class focus on making their qi core bigger so, they can make qi purer as possible as in their body in soldier and warrior level. But after, soldier and warrior level onward cultivation level are same for both. Qi class has greater battle power than body class. You will understand this in the future."
"There's also an issue with your qi core; I can't feel it, and your qi color isn't like other qi class cultivators', but I have a feeling you can easily practice space and time technique because that book reacted to you and even showed you the first page and I don't know other things. You have to search for other answers by yourself."
"Elder, I greatly debt to you," Wang Lei said with deep respect. While listening to this child word, the old man said "Yeah, you are a debt to me, so can do my one task"
The old man stated cheerfully "when you get out of this realm, you might wander or come across the middle continent in the heavenly realm, which is my home. Because of that black box and black book, I've been pursued by people all over the world; even my family bloodline has been cursed, so please help them."
"I will definitely complete the elder task, but can I ask the elder name and clan also what that middle continent."
"You'll learn about my name and clan when you reach the heavenly realm's middle continent, so knowing you now is pointless. Leave it alone. Why are you wearing a bloody mask? Throw it "While glancing at Wang Lei, the old man said. The old man wants to see the face of an oncoming monster. Wang Lei did not object; he removed the mask and placed it in his pocket rather than throwing it away.
When the old man saw Wang Lei's face, he was taken aback by how attractive this child's face was.
Wang Lei also explains his reason to wear a mask to the old man. He and the old man began to talk to each other. He also asks how many days had passed because he was worried about his sister and also the dangerous threat Li wei. Wang Lei knows that he has only been at the bottom of the cliff for two days and a total of three days passed when he separated from the other teams.
The old man asked Wang Lei to stay for three days in order to study the storage space symbol.
Wang Lei thought 'Let's just stay three days to learn storage space symbol with the help of old man. It will become easy for him to learn from an old man than learning myself, then I will deal with that f**king bastard' so he agreed immediately.
He clenched his fist. He had never imagined himself as a qi class cultivator. He also had one disadvantage was that he had no attributes, but he has space and time technique which filled this disadvantage. He didn't want to feel helpless again, like when he faced Li Wei, so he was determined to be the strongest. He had no idea how much his personality had changed as a result of this journey. He didn't want to ask favors from his emeries anymore, but rather slaughter them.
