Cultivation is divided into Acquired State, Innate, Foundation Establishment…
The Acquired and Innate states are about laying the foundation, only by stepping into the Foundation Establishment Stage does one truly enter the threshold of cultivation.
Within the Acquired State, there are ten levels, and above the tenth level is the Innate State.
When Shen Feng first arrived in the Immortal Realm, it took him a year to cultivate to the second level of the Acquired State.
During that time, he even consumed some spirit grass, far superior to Purple Leaf Grass, yet it still took him a whole year to break through to the second level of the Acquired State.
This time, Shen Feng's cultivation was completely scattered, but with his previous experience, he had grasped the trick to cultivating.
Moreover, thanks to the medicinal power of the Purple Leaf Grass and the regulation of spiritual energy within the jade bead, his chaotic body of the Immortal Emperor had recovered somewhat compared to before.
The recovery of his physical body drove the breakthrough in his cultivation, which allowed him to directly step into the second level of the Acquired State.
However, fully recovering this body of the Immortal Emperor definitely wasn't going to be easy.
The strength of his current body of the Immortal Emperor didn't even reach one thousandth of his peak state, which shows just how terrible his body had become.
Otherwise, even if his cultivation was completely gone, he would have been extremely formidable relying solely on the body of the Immortal Emperor.
After breaking through to the second level of the Acquired State.
Shen Feng did not immediately stand up from the wooden barrel, instead watching the sky outside the window grow brighter.
Taking Xu Dong as a registered disciple was an impromptu decision for him.
Now that he didn't have a penny to his name, he must earn a large sum of money as soon as possible from today onward and then go home to see his parents.
Although he knew that Xu Dong would definitely not refuse if he asked him for money, he, as the Immortal Emperor, and Xu Dong, who was only his registered disciple.
To directly ask for money from the registered disciple he just took in? That was simply something Shen Feng couldn't bring himself to do; besides, he wanted his parents to spend the money he earned with his own hands.
In the Immortal Realm for a thousand years.
Even though only a short three years had passed on Earth, he knew his parents must be very sad, and that it would only be meaningful for him to personally make amends.
Shen Feng attended high school in Wuzhou; his family lived in the mountains where there were no good high schools nearby.
Fortunately, there was a relative in Wuzhou, so Shen Feng's parents asked him to live with that relative temporarily.
They would send the relative money every month, and Shen Feng's parents worked hard from dawn to dusk; at that time, all their money went to that relative.
Shen Feng had no affection for that relative, who was extremely harsh to him when he lived there, to the extent that he ate meat only once a month.
Back then, Shen Feng was just a kid from a mountainous area, and he was well aware that some of the money sent by his parents was being pocketed by this so-called relative.
To avoid disappointing his parents, he endured and eventually managed to get accepted into Tianhai Medical University.
Back in the day, he often faced cold sarcasm from this so-called relative's family, who were willing to let Shen Feng stay just for the sake of pocketing the money.
Recalling the old days.
Shen Feng felt a wave of suffocation in his heart; whether in high school or university, he had been regarded as a poor boy in the eyes of others.
Those contemptuous looks seemed to linger before his eyes, and he whispered to himself, "This time I return, I will give all of you a surprise."
Having been through numerous hardships in the Immortal Realm, Shen Feng had always managed to remain calm, but now, thinking back on his days on Earth, his emotions surged, indicating that those formative years had left indelible marks in his heart.
When Shen Feng transmigrated to the Immortal Realm that year, his family hadn't even installed a telephone yet, and he didn't know whether they had any communication tools now.
He planned to take some time today to visit that so-called relative's house to see if they could put him in direct contact with his parents.
He at least wanted to reassure his parents as soon as possible.
Putting his thoughts aside for the moment, Shen Feng contemplated what he could do on Earth now to make money quickly?
While he was thinking of ways to make money.
Wuzhou City.
Inside Rare Treasures Pavilion in Antique City.
Fatty Qian's head was wrapped in a bandage, his face filled with panic and unease.
After the car accident yesterday, Wang Anxiong took him to the hospital for some basic treatment, since the injuries weren't too serious.
Following the incident, Wang Anxiong and Fatty Qian had lost their appetite; they kept thinking about Shen Feng's words.
Not until late at night when Wang Anxiong dropped Fatty Qian back at Rare Treasures Pavilion did they hope that Shen Feng would truly come back two days later to retrieve his reissued ID.
Who would have known that right after midnight, marking the next day,
Fatty Qian, who was asleep, suddenly felt the urge to urinate. Just as he reached the bathroom door, he slipped and fell.
He fell so hard that his rear end almost split.
Afterward, strange incidents occurred one after another. As he went downstairs to get some water, he tumbled down the stairs.
Finally, when he was about to drink some water, he nearly choked to death on it.
One misfortune after another kept happening, and Fatty Qian started to feel afraid, having an inkling that something was amiss. He immediately called Wang Anxiong.
After Wang Anxiong arrived, the misfortunes finally ceased for the moment.
Shen Feng's Heaven and Earth Ultimate Fate Calculation Technique had only detected that Fatty Qian would face a disaster of bloodshed that day. After all, at that time, both Fatty Qian and Wang Anxiong were dismissive of him, and he did not carefully calculate any further for Fatty Qian.
So, just after midnight, as the next day began, it could be due to the curved knife with Yin Qi.
A considerable amount of Yin Qi had entered Fatty Qian's body, coupled with the knife being placed in the wrong position.
Fatty Qian's fortune was naturally getting worse, and if this continued, he would eventually die in an accident.
With a layer of bandage on his head and a bruised face, Fatty Qian looked at Wang Anxiong sitting in a chair and said with a trembling voice, "Brother Wang, this is definitely not as simple as an accident. What should I do now? If this continues, I will sooner or later die an unnatural death."
Wang Anxiong said gravely, "Fatty Qian, it seems that there are indeed things in this world we can't understand. Now, only he can save you."
Fatty Qian naturally knew that this 'he' referred to Shen Feng.
Now, he regretted so much that he could feel his insides turning green, relishing the thought of smacking himself hard. If he had just consulted Shen Feng properly yesterday, then perhaps all these misfortunes wouldn't have happened to him, and he guessed that his run of bad luck would continue until he completely left this world.
Wang Anxiong sighed and said, "This time, we both misjudged the situation; that young man is truly a remarkable person."
"I'm just afraid that since we offended him yesterday and didn't believe what he said, even if he comes later, would he still be willing to help you?"
Fatty Qian hung his head dejectedly, "Brother Wang, what can I do to make amends?"
Wang Anxiong said, "Let's wait until he comes. Starting from now, I will temporarily stay at your store."
