Chapter 218 - Great Talent Matures Slowly

Chapter 218: Chapter 218 – Great Talent Matures Slowly

After staying in his room for a while did Chen Heng understand the cultivation system of this world.

Overall, it was not too different to what he was used to, and because it was still within the same major world, the basic principles were still the same.

Even if there were some differences, this would only manifest at the start; the further he went, the less the differences would matter.

Sitting on the bed, Chen Heng thought of various things.

Since the principles were essentially the same, he could still use the cultivation methods he used in his previous experiences.

Of course, if Chen Heng wanted to, he could use his old cultivation methods as the foundation and modify some things.

However, Chen Heng decided not to do this, as this would waste too much time.

If he had no other way, then he would do it, but since he had cultivation methods at his disposal, why did he have to go through that trouble?

Chen Heng directly took out his Feather Scripture.

The Feather Scripture was the cultivation technique that Chen Heng had created after becoming a True Lord.

Even within True Lords, it was a top-tier legacy.

This was even more so the case in this world.

Under normal circumstances, this Flowing Cloud Sect’s techniques would not be able to compare to this Feather Scripture.

As Chen Heng used the Feather Scripture, the spirit qi in the surroundings gathered together and was internalized into Chen Heng’s body, becoming his own magic energy.

Pure magic energy flowed throughout his body.

Soon, a spirit qi vortex seemed to be formed.

After a while, Chen Heng stopped cultivating and frowned.

“This body’s talent…”

Sensing his cultivation progress, Chen Heng could not help but frown.

The effects were quite average.

It was not a problem with the Feather Scripture but with Chen Heng’s body.

Even though this body had cultivation talent, it was very average.

To ordinary people, Chen Heng’s talent might seem decent, and in this large Flowing Cloud Sect, it was above average.

However, to Chen Heng, it was very mediocre and even somewhat lacking.

After all, he had seen much greater heights.

Compared to those geniuses Chen Heng had seen, this kind of talent was completely rubbish.

However, it was not a big deal.

Sitting on the bed, Chen Heng unfurrowed his eyebrows as he thought to himself.

Having ordinary talent was not a big deal; it just made things a little bit troublesome.

“Looks like I have to find time to search for some unique bloodlines and constitutions…” Chen Heng thought to himself.

If his talent was not good enough, he would make up for it.

This was why he had the Heaven Devouring Scripture.

As long as he devoured enough essence blood, no matter how ordinary this body had been, it would not matter.

He would slowly improve it.

For now, Chen Heng was not in a rush.

After cultivating for a day, Chen Heng went out the next day.

The Outer Court that Chen Heng was in was where the Flowing Cloud Sect would give missions and jobs to disciples to do.

All Flowing Cloud Sect disciples would be sent out by the sect now and then to complete various matters.

The Outer Court was what organized these things.

Chen Heng was not one of the higher-ups of the Outer Court and was just a manager who had a little power.

Even though his authority was not great, it was more than enough to make arrangements for Zhang Ya and the others.

After making arrangements for Zhang Ya and the others, Chen Heng left.

In the following period of time, Chen Heng did not do much and just silently cultivated in his room.

After coming to this world, even though his starting point was decent, this was not enough for Chen Heng.

He only had Spirit Refining Level 3 cultivation—this was far too low, and it was troublesome for him to do many things.

As such, the most important thing right now was to cultivate.

After raising his cultivation, everything else could wait.

Time gradually passed.

Soon, it had been four months.

What shocked everyone in the Outer Court was that Chen Heng seemed to have become a different person.

After taking in the new disciples that day, Chen Heng had changed his ways and spent all his time cultivating. Whenever he had free time, he would head to the Spirit Formations to cultivate.

This diligence made everyone feel quite surprised.

“Was Senior Apprentice Zhang… always this hardworking?”

Watching Chen Heng hurrying off to the Spirit Formations to cultivate, Zhang Ya could not help but ask Liu Wen.

Hearing Zhang Ya’s words, Liu Wen shook his head, also looking quite confused, “Not really. Even though Senior Apprentice Zhang was somewhat diligent in the past, he was never like this. Perhaps it’s because of the Minor Competition coming up.”

Liu Wen said after thinking about it.

Hearing his words, everyone else understood.

Chen Heng continued onwards and walked to a Spirit Formation.

Even though it was still cultivation, cultivating in different places had different effects.

Within the Flowing Cloud Sect, there were special-provided places for cultivation, where Spirit Formations were set up.

The Spirit Formations gathered spirit qi and made cultivation much more effective.

As such, Chen Heng spent most of his time in the Spirit Formations.

However, frequently going there to cultivate caused some problems.

“I’m nearly out of spirit stones…”

After walking out from the Spirit Formation, Chen Heng’s expression was calm as he thought to himself.

Entering the Spirit Formations naturally was not free and required payment in spirit stones.

Because Chen Heng had been going there so frequently, he had used up almost all of his spirit stones.

Chen Heng’s identity had not been a rich person to begin with.

Even though he came from a family of cultivators, he was only from the auxiliary branch. Although he had some support, it was only a few spirit stones every month.

In addition to that, as a manager of the Outer Court, he had a salary of two spirit stones per month.

This income was far from enough to allow Chen Heng to spend a long time in the Spirit Formations.

For the past few months, Chen Heng had been relying on what this body’s past identity had stored up.

Before, Chen Heng’s past identity had wanted to buy a magic item, which was why he had been saving up spirit stones.

After Chen Heng came, he used all of those spirit stones on cultivating in Spirit Formations.

By now, he had essentially used up all of his spirit stones.

If he wanted to continue on, he would have to find more sources of income.

Thinking to there, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head.

As expected, no matter which world it was, his starting point would always be like this—earning money.

Fortunately, after his past few simulations, he had quite a lot of experience.

As such, half a month later, he began to sell all kinds of magic items in the Flowing Cloud Sect’s marketplace.

After becoming poor again, Chen Heng once again went back to his most preferred trade: becoming a refiner.

In the previous world, he had been a grandmaster refiner, so his skill was no problem at all.

Even though this was a different world, it was still within the Azure Heaven Realm.

Using some of the materials he happened to have, Chen Heng refined a few things and sold them, immediately netting him a decent profit.

“300 spirit stones; that should be enough.”

Looking at his spirit stones, Chen Heng nodded and felt quite pleased.

To someone like Chen Heng, earning spirit stones was quite easy.

As long as he was willing to refine magic items, earning spirit stones was a simple matter.

Just like that, time continued to pass.

Soon, it had been another half a year.

“Junior Apprentice Zhang,” within a large hall, Chen Heng sat by himself, silently reading a book.

At that moment, a middle-aged man came over to him with a smile that seemed to be trying to curry favor.

“You are?”

Looking at this middle-aged man, Chen Heng felt quite confused.

“This one is the Inner Court’s Yang Xing, and I especially came to visit you,” the middle-aged man replied.

Hearing his words, everyone in the surroundings felt quite startled.

It was an Inner Court Disciple.

The Flowing Cloud Sect had many disciples, and they naturally had a hierarchy.

This hierarchy was split into four major levels.

The lowest and most pitiful ones were the Odd Job Disciples.

Above them were the Outer Court Disciples.

Above them were the Inner Court Disciples.

Finally, at the top were the True Legacy Disciples, who were incredibly rare.

It was quite rare to see Inner Court Disciples in the Outer Court.

These people were normally in closed-door training and were preparing to do Foundation Building. As such, they rarely came out.

“What has Senior Apprentice Brother Yang come for?” Chen Heng asked as he looked at Yang Xing.

I heard that Junior Apprentice Brother is proficient at refining magic items, so I came here…” Looking at Chen Heng, Yang Xing had a big smile as he said, “Of course, I’m quite flexible with the price; I definitely won’t let Junior Apprentice Brother be disappointed.”

He chatted with Chen Heng for a while, and after Chen Heng agreed, he paid the deposit and happily left.

Watching the Inner Court Disciple leave, Zhang Ya and the others could not help but stare at Chen Heng.

It had been more than half a year since they had joined the Flowing Cloud Sect.

During this time, Chen Heng had gone through big changes.

Apart from becoming incredibly diligent about cultivation, he would also sell magic items that he refined.

His reputation became greater and greater within the Flowing Cloud Sect, and even many Inner Court Disciples heard of him and asked him to refine magic items for them.

Sensing the changes in Chen Heng, Zhang Ya and the others began to feel more and more reverence towards him.

On the other hand, Chen Heng did not feel much.

After doing what he needed to do, Chen Heng got up and returned to his residence.

After reaching his residence, Chen Heng prepared to meditate for a while when he heard some knocking at the door.

“Junior Apprentice Sister Hou?” Chen Heng was not too surprised and invited her in.

“It’s been a while,” Chen Heng smiled as he poured Hou Juan some tea.

“Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang.”

Meeting Chen Heng’s gaze, Hou Juan seemed a bit reserved and sat there nervously, “I can sense spirit qi now.”

She spoke quite seriously.

Hearing this, Chen Heng paused for a moment before nodding and smiling, “That’s good. Since you can sense spirit qi, this means that you can try the next step, guiding spirit qi into your body. After you do that, you will have started on the path of cultivation and will become a Spirit Refining Level 1 cultivator.”

Hearing Chen Heng’s words, Hou Juan somewhat embarrassedly lowered her head.

After joining the Flowing Cloud Sect for more than half a year, Hou Juan knew that her speed was quite slow.

By now, those other new disciples had all formally internalized spirit qi and had reached the Spirit Refining realm.

However, it had taken her this long just to sense spirit qi.

It could be said that her talent was among the worst in the Flowing Cloud Sect.

If it was anyone else, they most likely would have given up hope on cultivating.

The reason why Hou Juan was able to even get this far was because of Chen Heng’s help.

She would often come over and ask Chen Heng questions, and if she was lucky, he would even give her some spirit tea.

Even under such circumstances, it had taken her more than half a year to sense spirit qi; this talent was simply abysmal.

“No need to feel dispirited.”

As if he could tell what she was thinking, Chen Heng spoke softly, “Talent is determined by one’s birth and is not something we can change. However, talent only matters the most at the start and becomes less and less important as you progress.

“After you complete Foundation Building, your talent will not matter much,” Chen Heng said softly, comforting Hou Juan.

As he spoke, he observed the Fortune on Hou Juan.

He could clearly see that the Fortune was still there, and it seemed to be more active than before but had not broken out.

It seemed that it would still be some time until this Fortune broke out and changed her life.

Chen Heng felt quite speechless.

By now, as he gained more proficiency over the Fortune Mark, he understood more things.

From what he had observed about Hou Juan’s Fortune, it would only start breaking out when she was middle-aged, when she was 40 or 50 years old.

That was a bit too long.

Chen Heng had seen many people with Fortune before, but most of them, including himself, had their Fortune break out when they were very young.

This was the first time he had seen someone’s Fortune breaking out so late.

Looking at Hou Juan and observing her Fortune, Chen Heng inwardly sighed.

Then again, this made sense.

With her current talent, biding her time and having it explode out later was not impossible.

Hou Juan had no idea what Chen Heng was thinking.

She looked at Chen Heng and hearing his words, she forced a small smile on her face.

After joining the Flowing Cloud Sect for this long, she had learned much and knew that Chen Heng was mostly just comforting her.

Indeed, talent mattered less and less as one progressed, but the prerequisite was that one had to live that long.

If she could not even complete Foundation Building, what would be the point?

Right now, with her talent, she did not see any hope in Foundation Building.
