《I will absolutely cultivate》Chapter 36: The Road Ahead
Advertisement
It had been almost a week after we have left the premises of the Dragonsvein Kingdom.
Our carriage is neatly parked by the side, the horses are being tended by Sona.
While Ruzi is playing at the riverbank, in one look he seemed to be just mindlessly kicking and punching in the air.
But in fact, those kicks and punches of his, have the weight of around 100-200 kg, really, a monstrous feat.
He is currently practicing the bodily martial art of 'Emperor Nuo Rui's 1st Style of Killing Arts'.
I have personally looked through the manual and found nothing wrong with it, in fact, I felt that the fighting style was fit for Ruzi.
Even though it is a killing art, I'm not afraid that Ruzi would get his head big nor would he transform into a mania-killing bastard, after all I'm here to guide him, I look forward to the day that his name would resound through the Jianghu.
Just thinking about it makes my heart swell with pride. Hoho, I'm raising a Heaven-Shaking Man!
--
Seeing that Ruzi and Sona were doing just fine, I finally relaxed my mind.
I walk towards a tree and sat down. I slowly enter a meditative state. Although my physical body seemed to be at rest, I could still observe the movements of my surroundings within the range of 500 meters radius. this is one of the perks with high Qi sensitivity.
As I see that the atmosphere was just right, I relaxed my mind and focused on Soul Techniques. This Soul Technique as the name suggests is an attack that mainly uses one soul to attack. This particular technique is one of the countless books that I obtained from the Dragon Temple.
---
After immersing myself on the technique for who knew how long, I fully took my attention on the surroundings I almost wanted to immediately withdraw!
Ah. why do I have to see such thing?!
No, it is not a horrifying mangled body of a human nor beast, there is no blood at all. What I had simply witnessed is an abandoned Disciple, from the looks of it, he was beaten up and was left in this forest to die. His robe indicates that he is an unimportant outer Disciple of that overly famous Xi Sect, that Xi Sect is more than a mountain away from here! Thinking here, he really is abandoned to die, is he not?

And Ruzi, who had gotten bored of playing on the water had just to wander around that area! Actually bumping onto that disciple!! Ah!
I immediately spread my Qi, and found Sona chasing after a 4th rank beast! She was probably getting ready for dinner, thinking that Ruzi was safe as I was just around the corner!
I couldn't help but feel a pang regret on my chest. How could I actually immerse myself in my cultivation that I actually lowered my guard! I could not help but feel like crying but had no tears to cry out.
Ruzi who has recently turned 3 years old, made his way towards the youth. His small body ran and jumped within the forest in an agile manner, Ruzi's body had a great foundation from the very beginning and his fast growth rate made him look like a kid around 5 years old.
Ruzi circled around the youth, curiously seizing him up.
While I was anxiously hiding in the shadows, ready to pounce on that disciple if he ever had an ounce of strength left within him that could potentially harm my Little Ruzi.
Ruzi then squatted down, he picks up a nearby twig, he used it to poke the half-dead abandoned disciple.
"Ah! F---" Before he could finish his curse word, my Qi had already blocked his throat.
I jumped out from my hiding place and stood behind Ruzi. Scooping up his little body, I lightly scolded him,
"Why did you wander around by yourself?" I said in a disapproving manner.
'Don't you know that you almost stepped on the path of a cannon fodder there?!' I shouted inside my head.
"I'm sorry~" Ruzi who was suddenly scooped up was shocked but as he felt my familiar aura, he immediately brightly laughed and apologized.
I directed my gaze at the almost half-dead disciple. Looking at the tattered Outer Robes that he is wearing and his face that looks like a pig face from being swollen, and looking at his meridians that are currently blocked---
'Dude, why do I feel like I'm a Hidden Expert that goes and saves little mc's who have yet awaken their prowess?! Am I perhaps their supposed hidden master, great benefactor or a cheat?!' I thought as I extended my hands and healed his physical body.
After healing the youth I immediately stood up and left with Ruzi. Healing this youth is all thanks to his Luck, after all I do not want Ruzi to become apathetic at such a young age.

As to that youth, his Clan would probably pick him up later on, as to the war between the Xi Sect and that kid's Clan, I don't want to know. I have already extended my helping hand to that youth.

After going back to our Carriage I immediately modified it and turned it into a shockproof one. Once inside we would not feel the vibration produced by strong collision outside.
"Young Mistress, you really come up with the most brilliant ideas! But, why did you only install them now?" Sona curiously asked. We have after all (except Ruzi, since I had continuously provided him a barrier when he is inside a carriage) the torturous journey of transportation through the carriage.
Can I say, that I actually only remembered this idea just some time ago?
I replied her question with a dry laugh, before proceeding to bind the Magical Beast that Sona has recently caught. After binding the Magical Beast, I then replaced our horse with Magical Beast.
I had thought that with our revised carriage we would certainly attract the attention of some eccentric cultivator.
But days passed quietly and we were able to peacefully travel. In just one week we were able to arrive at the borderline of Hou Kingdom.
We stopped at the secluded area to change our mount to a normal horse.
"Sona go the nearby village and purchase some horse," I said as I waved my hands and free the Magical Beast from it's bind. The Magical Beast feeling the restraint on him going loose immediately fled back to the Mountain.
"Yes." Sona slightly bowed down and disappeared.
'Oh.' seeing at how Sona had performed the 'skill' I had taught her I couldn't help but smile, It seems like her training has finally bore some fruit!
I peeked at Ruzi's figure inside the carriage, his small figure is peacefully sitting down in a lotus position. The Qi flowing smoothly on his meridians to his dantian.
'Ah, it really is peaceful.' I sighed and smiled, looking up towards the sky, I couldn't help but anticipate for the adventure I had planned.
---
After Sona changed bought the horse, we immediately set out and arrived at the Hou Kingdom.
'There shouldn't be anymore Mc material here, right? I just met one in the last Kingdom afterall,' As we near the Hou Kingdom the thought couldn't help but flash in my head.
At the borderline of the Hou Kingdom, we had to wait in a long line almost forming S curve from going back and forth, before actually stepping on the gates. I looked at the long lane and estimated that with our current situation it would already be lucky for us if we were able to get inside the Hou Kingdom in three days.
We had no choice but to wait for three days before we were finally able to reach the gate and enter the Kingdom. In the Hou Kingdom, immigrates/tourist or anyone who did not come from the Hou Kingdom had to be scanned before having the liberty to enter their Kingdom, they will also give out a small crystal card which they refer to as an identity card.
'Psh! Isn't this more like a tracking device?' I said as I traced the sliver of Qi within my card. With this, the higher-ups of the Hou Kingdom can immediately track down anyone. I can't help but admire the one who had thought of this Idea, it's simply marvelous.
Mind you, this Identity card is bound to it's owner by blood and you cannot forcefully destroy it, or else an alarm will be sent to the Generals and you'll be hunted down.
--
After getting inside the Kingdom, I immediately settled down on the nearest Inn and left the two, Sona and Ruzi.
After leaving them I immediately went and bought a middle-class mansion within the district of nobles. I made a whole tour around the street and made sure that none of those dark horses* (Mc material) are nearby my place. I also wrote down a simple defensive mechanism inside the manor.
The business days or processing of papers will take a week or 2 so I will have to be careful laying low.
My cultivation level seems to be breaking through without my knowledge I feel like I could reach the Sovereign rank by just sleeping. I giggled at the thought.

Redshirt: The Journey
Freedom and Order. Peace and War. Love and Hate. Hundreds of young children awaken in a damaged world, on the brink of societal collapse, witnessing the birth of an omnipotent system. Their roles are pre-determined, yet the very fabric of reality lie in their hands. The order of the world shapes them, just how they are free to shape the world in their disparate visions. Each choice, each action, each word, has consequences that reach far beyond their perception. Freedom or Order; ashes in the wind, or the gilded chains. Updates at least every Monday, Thursday, and every other Sarturday, (from 26/11/2021). This is primarily a story exploring what it means to be human, using a lens of a hopefully real-feeling fantasy world. This story is not a power fantasy or a traditional Litrpg , while it has elements of these genres, it will focus on how these tropes would influence real people and possibly Redshirt will break some of these tropes along the way. There will be a variety of different characters and perspectives, some you hate, some you love, and some that will frustrate. Just as all people do. I don't believe there will be anything overly traumatic or explicit, but it's better to be safe than sorry. There will be some heavy topics explored, the characters views do not reflect the authors; however, if there is an issue in how I present/understand these issues please do tell me, and I will try my best to rectify it.
