After throwing the Molotov, Solaris looked over towards the alley that lay ahead of him. It was a very smelly and gross alley. Solaris saw a drunkard lying in his own filth just 5 steps away from him. There were dogs feces everywhere in the alley. While both sides of the alley were surrounded by buildings so even the sunlight would have a hard time coming down to this alley.
With some disgust, Solaris made his way out of the alley. As he came out, he saw that the smoke had started to rise from his building. But he didn't even look back. Solaris saw that he was in some sort of slum area. He saw that the sky had started turning yellowish-orange. That meant that the sun was about to rise.
Then he started running out of the slums. He didn't want to be near this area when someone finds out that one of the buildings is on fire…
From Solaris's memories, Solaris knew that he was in a city called the Valgoore town. It is a border town and did not have anything special about it. The only special thing about this town was that this town is the base of operation of one of the battalions of the Faction.
Valgoore town was located in a country called the Faction. It is a country formed by different clans who came together and formed an alliance. This alliance was called faction thus this country also came to be known as Faction. From the boy's memory, Solaris was not able to get any more information about this country or this city. But still, it was better than nothing.
…
During his previous life that Solaris had lived, he learned a lot about cultivation. For the sake of vengeance, he needed a lot of power. Because of that Solaris researched many cultivation manuals to a whole new level. He started to understand small details of cultivation that made him a cultivating genius of all time.
In the cultivation world, there were various types of cultivation techniques that people use to follow. Upon research, Solaris was able to find that a cultivation technique helps to enhance a person's body and a specific manner that could help them in the dao that they would choose in the future.
For example, if a person wants to follow the dao of alchemy he/she needs to cultivate a technique that could help them to increase their body's qi as well have a soothing after effect on their body. This way if when they grow old and start following the way of dao, it would be considerably easier for them to handle all the techniques of the alchemy. But if someone does not follow a cultivation technique suited for alchemy then in the future they would not be able to rise in ranks after a certain rank…
Solaris unraveled all the secrets that the top cultivation techniques had. And after experimenting on various people he was able to make an all-rounder cultivation technique…
He named this cultivation technique "Dragon's might". It was the most complicated cultivation technique of the spirit continent. This cultivation technique in some sense was overpowered and very versatile practicing this technique one could learn any of the dao in the future. There would be no need to change the cultivation technique for any dao…
Solaris found out that if one eliminates certain aspects then all the cultivation techniques are the same in the first stages. It was in the later stages they started to evolve the body in such a way that would help a person pursue a specific dao. So Solaris made this technique such that in the latter stages of his technique he could change his path in the way he sees fit.
In this world, Solaris wanted to start using Dragon's Might as soon as possible so that he could climb up faster in the ranks of the strength of this world. But there was a problem that he faced in this world. And that was the fact that this body didn't have any open meridians nodes…
To cultivate one would need to absorb Qi in one's body from external sources. And one can only observe the Qi through meridian opening also called meridian nodes. A human body had 108 meridian nodes. If a person can open all the nodes then the cultivation speed of that person would become very fast. But this boy didn't have any open meridian nodes. Because of this Solaris could not just start cultivating. He had to wait patiently and open the nodes. Only when the nodes of the body would be open he would be able to cultivate again.
To open the meridian node, Solaris needed a silver needle. Only then he would be able to do something about his meridian node problems…
…
The sun was about to rise. The Valgoore town which was a desolate land a minute ago was starting to fill with activity. The shopkeepers were opening their shops while soldiers were doing their morning march. The merchants were filling up their carts with gunny bags that they had to deliver while bakers had started their furnace to make hot and delicious bread. Everything has come to life as the sun came up.
As for Solaris, he was wandering in the city looking at everything around him. He was very fascinated by things in this world. He had been to every town, village, and city in the old world several times, but had never seen people and things that are sold in the market. Thus he was fascinated by everything he laid his eyes on. That is why he was enjoying the new world, as well as he was looking out for anything significant that could be of any use to him.
Solaris ventured through the whole city and looked around. After roaming around the city market, Solaris found that the people here and their lifestyle were different from the lifestyle of people back in the cultivation world.
Solaris went through the whole market and saw that there was not a single thing in the whole market that resembled the old cultivation world. That was sort of a disadvantage to Solaris as he was well versed in handling the ingredients from the cultivation world. But seeing the new ingredients of this world, it would take some time and patience to learn about all of the things about this world.
While roaming around Solaris eventually came across a big plot of land which was surrounded by large brick walls. Based on the sheer size of the plot Solaris presumed that whoever was the owner of the plant would be a pretty rich guy. So he thought that he should investigate this plot of land.
Solaris went through the memories of the Solaris but there was no mention of this plot of land in his memory. This was because Solaris had never been here before in this part of the city. So Solaris was even more curious about this land. And as Solaris went around the plot of land, and after some digging around he understood what this plot of land was…
It was a hospital. A very big one at that. There was a magnificent large iron gate at the entrance of the hospital. Solaris saw that inside there was a large 4 story building. And from the building entrance, all kinds of patients could be seen going in and out of the building. There was also a board out at the gate of the plot of land.
But Solaris was an illiterate kid. He didn't how to read or write. That is why Solaris was not able to read the board. Solaris was interested in the hospital because he needed a silver needle to unclog this body's meridian nodes. So he thought it wouldn't be too bad if he looks around a little bit. So Solaris started walking into the hospital.
Before venturing off, Solaris made sure that he was wearing neat and clean clothes. And he didn't look like a roadside rat. That was pretty difficult considering the clothes that Solaris had. But still, Solaris cleaned his clothes as neatly as he could and then he came out of his house.
After living for so many years Solaris had become very familiar with the things that could get him in trouble. And being dirty and poor was one of the things that could get him in trouble. That is why Solaris went to a lot of lengths to look presentable so that he could easily blend in this envoirment…
