Ning didn't bother with anything else and immediately checked his current cultivation. As expected he was in the 1st realm of Foundation Establishment.
A wave of power unlike before rushed through his body. There was no more Qi on his body itself as they were all concentrated on his meridian.
He finally opened his eyes and looked at himself; he was filthy. "Oh right. Forgot about this," he thought and quickly went to his bath to clean himself.
He returned back after 15 minutes or so and went to the fields. He had just entered a new realm and needed to familiarize himself with it.
So he went out to do the second thing he could do now that he was free, Train. He was given access to the different techniques and he had chosen 2 of them.
He was going to train in them now.
The first one was a sword technique. He was now using a sword, and while he had a good technique, he didn't know how to use the sword itself.
So he needed a physical sword art that didn't rely on Qi. He found a nameless sword technique for now and started learning it.
He decided that instead of focusing on learning a good sword art right now, he would instead buy a great one from the system that matched his criteria.
His sword moved around in the heavy rainfall, cutting off the raindrop as they were falling. There weren't many disciples on the training ground, so he got a little more space to himself.
He started noticing things while practicing that he couldn't before. He could now see his forms due to his divine sense, which was impossible for him before even when he had an omnidirectional vision.
He practiced some more and got familiar with his body. He was now a lot faster than before and was much stronger in general.
It was his first jump through a major realm and that was a way too massive a jump for him to immediately get used to his new cultivation.
Suddenly, he disappeared from the spot and appeared elsewhere. He was very fast and took the rain along with him.
He had learned a new, better movement technique called the Floating Crane's movement technique. The technique allowed the user to effortlessly glide around whether they were on the ground or in the sky.
It was also very fast and made it seem like the user disappeared from the initial place.
Once Ning was in the other place, he once more bent down his body and released his Qi to push himself around at a very fast speed.
He kept practicing the two swords and movement techniques until it was time for him to go back to the clinic.
There weren't many people practicing, so there weren't many people injured either. So, he had quite a free time for the day.
He used this time to check up on the new divine sense he had unlocked. He couldn't tell where it originated from or if he had a steady supply of it, but he could feel the new sense emanating out of him.
He closed his eyes and tried to look with just his divine sense; it was much better than his omnidirectional vision for sure. Not only could he see all around him, but he could also see in places his eyes couldn't see as well.
Behind something, under something, inside something; these were all possible with divine sense.
'I probably won't have to worry about seeing in places with no light either. That means I won't have to buy that Night Vision III when the system comes back,' Ning thought. The range of his divine sense was only 10 meters for now, but he was sure that would slowly increase over time with his cultivation.
He spend all the free time of his next two weeks doing nothing but training the new things he had gotten, and he got really good at it.
From time to time, the disciples of the sect would call him to practice with them, and he would have no problem beating them.
He was too strong for his similarly aged disciples.
After the two weeks, he went back to cultivating. He noticed that this cultivation method had changed as well. Every time he drew in Qi, it would enter his meridian and stay around until it got little by little condensed into the liquid form that would then get collected in his Sea of Qi.
He was a little disappointed by how slow the process was but took solace in the fact that it was supposed to be slow for everyone.
He wouldn't be able to breakthrough as fast as before, but when his system came back, he wouldn't need to. He kept on practicing his cultivation method and the tempering method to increase his Qi, body, and mind's strength.
Soon, another month passed. The new doctor was fully working now and Ning had much more free time. So, he would now take the time to go to the Red Tiger sect for a few days a week. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍
It had been a while since he had seen Anya, and he wanted to make sure she was doing great.
Anya had grown much taller in the 8 months he hadn't seen her. She had long flowing hair, wore red female robes, and looked much more feminine now.
"Wow, you look great," Ning said as he patted her head.
"Master, you finally came to see me," she said with teary eyes.
"Sigh, yes. I was busy working and only got free time now. How is your learning going? Did you learn all the medical knowledge I passed you?" he asked.
He didn't need to ask about her cultivation since he could see that she was already at the 7th level of Body cultivation, and the 6th realm of Qi Condensation. Ning was surprised at how fast she was but didn't say anything.
"Yes, master. I read everything. I… still need practice, but I know all the knowledge," she said.
"Good. Here is some more advanced knowledge," Ning said and took out two more books he had written in the last 3 months.
