Arjun went through the introduction of forty secret art manuals but he was not able to find anything interesting, after another hour he passed through 200 secret art manuals and read sixty manuals' introduction. After he entered the Qi cultivation state he was able to process information fastly.
After half an hour Arjun came across a sword art with the title called as "The Taixu sword arts"
Arjun went through the introduction and found out that it had nine forms corresponding to each level of the Qi cultivation stage. This was a second-tier mid-grade secret art
After that Arjun went to the elder and then took a copy and then went to the alchemy classes.
Arjun arrived there within time and the class began. After the class, Arjun found Ahalya and shared his first-day experience as an outer court disciple.
After that Arjun went to the Formation classes also and after classes, he chatted with Sri for a while. By the time he returned to the abode then it was 8 pm and the Sun had already set.
Arjun then started to read the book provided by the sect to understand things in cultivation. The major thing that Arjunfound was that investing time in two auxiliary cultivation techniques may not be good for cultivation because a Qi refining stage cultivator has only a maximum of 120 years of lifespan and if one wants to excel in these Auxillary daos they will have to spend vast amounts of time, and they may still not succeed in them.
Arjun also thought 'Maybe, I should give up on formations, I will not have enough time to cultivate if I focus on it, and I will not be able to make it to the cave abode before the sunset, so I will give up formations'.
Arjun also found out that once they start cultivating they will age fast until they appear to be sixteen and then they age slowly, according to their cultivation realm.
Arjun went to sleep. Today Arjun didn't eat anything because Qi cultivation stage 1st level cultivators can go on without eating food for one and half days and still not feel tired.
The next day Arjun woke up and then took a bath and sat down in the cultivation room to cultivate, After his cultivation Arjun thought 'Maybe, after another one and a half or two months I will be a Qi cultivation stage 2nd level cultivator.'
Although it took a long time to reach the 2nd level when compared to the 1st level, it will normally take a cultivator six months to enter the 2nd level of Qi refining if he or she is a genius. Arjun thought that his cultivation speed was mainly due to the spirit veins.
After cultivation, Arjun went to buy some groceries needed for cooking and spent one low-grade spirit stone. After that, he went to the Library in the sect to study herbs and revise alchemy and also learned about treasures in the cultivation world, he also learned how to divide the grades of the pills, swords, formations, etc. but he still had to learn more.
Arjun thought that he should come to the library daily after cultivating in the morning.
After that Arjun went to the alchemy classes and listened to the class after that he met Ahalya and said: "Ahalya, I have come to know that a person can only try one auxiliary cultivation method and if they want to try more than one they will not have sufficient time to manage, so I have chosen to quit the formations classes from tomorrow, and will also have to choose only one class if you want sufficient time to cultivate".
Ahalya listened to Arjun and said, "Ok, Arjun I will think about what auxiliary cultivation classes I should quit and I will inform you tomorrow".
After that, they parted ways and Arjun went to the Formations class after class he told Pavitra the same thing he said to Ahalya. Pavitra felt sad that Arjun will not formation classes with them and then gave all the tokens he won in Formation quizzes to her.
On his way back to Heavenly Lotus Peak he coincidentally found Siri and chatted with her for a while and after that, he left.
Today also the sun had already set and Arjun didn't want to cultivate anymore. Arjun prepared dinner and after eating it he went to sleep.
The next day morning Arjun woke up and then started to cultivate. After cultivating he went to the library and after that the alchemy classes and after that he went to explore the markets.
According to the map, there are 16 outer peak markets and four inner peak markets. Arjun went to the Little Monk's market. Arjun found thousands of cultivators in the market, it was crowded, and there were many stalls set up selling pills, weapons, formations, and many more.
Arjun explored the market for an hour and went back today he arrived before sunset and then he started cultivating, after cultivating, he practised aura ball for an hour but he couldn't even control the Qi to manifest out his body.
After three days, after alchemy classes, he found out that Siri, Ahalya, and Pavitra successfully became cultivators from Ahalya.
"Arjun, me, Siri and Pavitra became cultivators and we have all chosen the Heavenly Lotus peak to cultivate, luckily only one disciple has chosen this peak after you leaving us three a chance to choose it" Ahalya said with a smile, she was already wearing the white golden bordered saree that the sect had provided for outer court disciples.
Arjun was happy hearing this and said "Wow, congratulations on becoming cultivators".
"Arjun we have all decided to meet at the Golden Pin Market tonight" Ahalya said and left her classes. Ahalya has chosen to become a spiritual doctor while Pvitra has chosen to become a formation master. Today she came to alchemy classes to especially inform him about this.
After that Arjun went to his abode and practised the Qi ball technique but he still had no progress. Practising secret skills enhances one's control over their Qi and also enhances their combat powers. But it takes a long time to attain proficiency in them.
