Chapter 341 I'll Find You a Cultivation Method
Under the blazing sun, the Sky Stronghold remained as bustling as ever, with countless cultivators coming and going, creating a scene of prosperity.
Zhong Ming pulled Zhang Youcai off the transport airship and back to their familiar surroundings.
The boy was a little nervous. To him, this place felt more like a true abode of immortals than the place where cultivators like the Flame Wolf Army lived.
It's actually in the sky!
He hid half of his body behind Zhong Ming, trying to gain a sense of security by hiding behind his captain, but Zhong Ming didn't care about that and pulled him quickly toward the main hall in the center.
First, go to the military merit point exchange office, then go to Fairy Danpo's wine cellar. Hopefully, He Guang hasn't blown up all the wine vats in the cellar yet.
The surroundings were bustling yet unfamiliar. The boy couldn't see the vendors hawking their wares or the crowds. He could only see many handsome men and beautiful women in flowing robes gathered in front of the shops, saying things he couldn't understand and looking at things he couldn't comprehend.
"Let's find a cultivation technique first. You should be able to get in... No, let me find someone to take a look at you and see what kind of cultivation technique suits you."
Cultivation is a matter that requires utmost caution.
This isn't difficult; you can see it right next to the front desk.
There was always an old gentleman sitting there, who was said to have an exceptional memory. He could remember most of the unchanging techniques and spells in the military merit point exchange area, making him a veritable human catalog.
Consultation fees are not cheap, costing 100 military merit points per consultation, which is almost equivalent to a common mid-grade magic weapon.
He led the boy into the tallest tower, where it was crowded with people. The battles in the south and the east were fierce, with heavy casualties, great military merits, and busy affairs. Zhong Ming went to the information desk to inquire about the military merit points he had.
"Hello, your balance is... 6,344 military merit points." The girl at the information desk was surprised. What kind of data was this? A Qi Refining stage cultivator's wealth was more than some Foundation Establishment stage cultivators?
There are many military merit points to accumulate here. Last time, when he and Akame went to guide the artillery fire to attack the merman island, the military merit points were not many, but he killed a Foundation Establishment stage merman!
Although it was Akame who shot the enemy with the Cold Strike, causing him to go berserk and die, tell me, wasn't it Zhong Ming who took the final head?
The subsequent warnings about the impending marine mammal tide were another great achievement.
His subsequent discovery of the Gu worms, the defensive battle against the sea monster attack by the 134th Battalion, the warning of the Moonlight Raid, and his valiant achievement of killing barbarians caused his military merit points to accumulate layer by layer, reaching an alarmingly high level.
Zhong Ming frowned slightly upon hearing this, then muttered, "Only this much?"
The young man at the information desk walked away with an envious look on his face.
He wasn't pretending; he genuinely felt it wasn't much. Yue Kaishan earned 10,000 military merit points for each of his arms, and he'd changed them several times in recent days.
"Come on, we've got money, let's get in line."
They found the old man's information desk, where there was quite a long queue, but Zhong Ming was the only one asking about cultivation techniques for newcomers.
“You have wealth. According to the rules, after you have completed your cultivation, you should receive a Taoist name.”
Zhang Youcai, this name is... a bit too down-to-earth, expressing the simple yet clear desire of working people for a better life.
In short, it's not very suitable for cultivation. Just think, Zhong Ming still doesn't know what the Crimson-Eyed Fairy's real name is.
"The Daoist name... is entirely up to the captain."
"Why should I be in charge? That's your Taoist title."
At this moment, the people in line behind were also bored, and a big head popped up.
"Hey bro, what's your nickname? I've got experience with that, my nickname is 'Name-Giving Master'."
Zhong Ming: ? ? ? Brother, who are you?
"No need to trouble you, brother. He hasn't chosen a cultivation method yet, and he's only thinking about his Daoist name. The specifics will depend on the cultivation method."
"No problem, no problem, just passing the time, brainstorming, brainstorming~~" The man smiled, his beard twitching, and turned to ask the boy, "Kid, what kind of cultivation technique do you want to practice?"
Zhang Youcai dared not refuse. When the immortal asked him a question, what right did he, a mere child from a dilapidated village, have to remain silent?
"water....."
“Water, this water is wonderful. A true man should have the ambition to swallow the rivers and seas. Why not call him the True Lord Who Swallows the Seas?”
Zhong Ming replied with a forced smile, "Brother, you jest. That name is too grand; he might not be able to bear it."
"What's there to bear or not bear? Who knows what the future holds? Who knows, maybe one day there will be a great cultivator whose water magic is unparalleled, the Devouring Sea True Lord, and he'll be the one who gave him his Daoist title, Junshan True Man." The man finished speaking and laughed heartily.
Zhong Ming couldn't help but curse inwardly, 'You're such a pretentious idiot, did I even ask you? Seriously.'
"Hey, we still need to be careful about this. Maybe I should ask my master later. Your... ancestor? No, you've become his disciple, so you should be considered my junior brother, but he might not accept you."
Zhong Ming patted the boy's head. Seeing his fearful look, he wasn't angry. He simply bent down and whispered in his ear, "After you obtain the cultivation technique and embark on your cultivation journey, you will be just like us. Look around, look carefully. The places we can go, you will be able to go too."
The boy suddenly looked up at the layers of stairs and ornate railings, with the tower's magnificent decorations and imposing statues hanging high above him.
He felt he was no longer an outcast passerby, but the master of this place... well, not quite accurate, someone qualified to act here? To hell with master, what's a battalion commander? Who says I can't be the master of this place?
When the young man witnessed the world's splendor, his former "ambitions" were forgotten like grains of sand in the ocean. He set forth even grander goals and prepared to move forward.
For the next period of time, which was rather boring, the group stood until their legs were stiff. The guy in the back was really good at talking; he had been talking for who knows how many times and was still not tired. The others were really calm; even while standing, they closed their eyes and meditated like old monks. Zhong Ming could tell from their rhythmic breathing that the other person's cultivation was extremely profound.
Finally, it was their turn.
Pushing open the door, the old man sitting inside the small house was like a statue, wearing a simple Taoist robe that had faded from countless washes. His hands were tucked into his sleeves, his expression neither joyful nor sorrowful. He asked:
"What do you want?"
"I'll find a suitable cultivation method for this child." Zhong Ming pushed the boy forward, and this was the first time the boy had stood in front of Zhong Ming.
"Military merit points credited, one hundred points~~" A pleasant female voice rang out from the side, and Zhong Ming's heart was bleeding.
If you don't give me the best recommendation, I'm definitely going to make trouble for you.
The old man waved his hand, seemingly pleased with the task, "Come here, child, come over here."
