CHAPTER 186: 185. LIN KEWU JOINS THE SECT (2/4)

"Do you want to go in and give it a try?"

As Lin Kewu was still in doubt, Wen Ping’s voice came to his ears.

Even before Lin Kewu could speak, Wen Ping continued, "This Gravity Field can increase your cultivation speed and Cultivation Technique practice speed ninefold. Cultivating inside for one hour is equivalent to cultivating outside for nine hours."

Hearing this, Lin Kewu froze for a moment.

He thought to himself: Nine hours, no way.

But then he thought of that prodigy with the Innate Purity Body, who was just moving benches in the Immortal Sect. He was half skeptical about the magic inside the Dragon Pillars. After considering it, he realized he couldn’t see much by standing outside, so he asked, "Can I go in and give it a try?"

Wen Ping responded, "Of course."

Following Wen Ping’s instructions, Lin Kewu placed the Gold Coins into the Black Box and then walked towards the Gravity Field. His eyes initially fell on Zhao Qing, and after glancing twice, a strange feeling arose in him.

The other party was at the Body Refining Seventh Layer, but why was she moving so slowly? This level of speed probably couldn’t even catch up with a cultivator at the Body Refining Fourth Layer, right?

While pondering this, he continued walking toward the Gravity Field.

As soon as both of Lin Kewu’s feet stepped in, at that moment, he saw that Zhao Qing’s eyes suddenly filled with panic, and the surrounding gravity suddenly came crashing down, scaring him so much that his whole body jolted.

Simultaneously, he felt his legs bend instantly. Since he was unprepared mentally, he had to squat halfway on the ground, supporting himself with one hand, feeling the enormous sudden change.

"This is..."

Lin Kewu was speechless.

He was just feeling the pervasive weight pressing in from all directions, lost in a stunned moment like under a scorching sun.

Setting aside whether this so-called Gravity Field really has a ninefold cultivation boost.

Just the uniqueness of the nine Dragon Pillars is something not found in Bright Mirror Lake or anywhere else. He hadn’t even heard of such a cultivation field in any Three-star Influence. Then he recalled Wen Ping’s words—ninefold cultivation speed!

For Body Refinement, the speed is determined by the Circulation and Qi Gathering in the Dantian.

Holding on to a sense of hope mixed with skepticism, Lin Kewu slowly sat cross-legged on the ground and began to activate the Circulation of Heaven.

Not activating it was one thing.

Activating it indeed gave Lin Kewu a fright.

His current Circulation speed was as if lubricated, exceptionally fast. After several repeated attempts, he confirmed that there really was a ninefold increase. Because the time it used to take to complete one Circulation now allowed him to complete nine.

Lin Kewu was instantly delighted, "Cultivating here might actually give me a chance to reach the Profound Realm within a year!"

With that, he tried Qi Gathering in the Dantian again, and as expected, it remained astonishingly fast.

Now, he no longer felt attached to his family.

The Lin Family, being a pseudo-Three-star Family, could at most provide resources to shorten his cultivation time but couldn’t control time.

But now the Immortal Sect could.

...

At this moment, Wen Ping standing outside the Gravity Field watched Lin Kewu’s delighted expression, and smiled with satisfaction in his heart.

Lin Kewu, he’s secure!

But I bet he won’t be out for a while as anyone encountering a ninefold speed increase in cultivation would surely be thrilled. It’s fortunate that the Gravity Field is only effective in the Body Refinement Realm, otherwise, I would be soaking in it all day for cultivation as well.

Seeing this, Wen Ping turned to leave, telling Qin Shan beside him, "Bring him to the Main Hall to find me once he comes out."

Qin Shan nodded.

After leaving the Gravity Field, Wen Ping remembered there seemed to be no vacant rooms in the dormitory area. He immediately checked the upgrade price for the dormitory area. The upgrade price for the dormitory area was—thirty thousand Gold Coins.

Wen Ping asked, "System, how many rooms can be added after the dormitory area is upgraded?"

"After upgrading the dormitory area, the number of rooms can increase to 20."

"How long does the upgrade take?"

"Two hours."

After hearing the system’s response, Wen Ping first headed to the dormitory area. Seeing no one there, he immediately initiated the upgrade.

Some money needs to be spent and can’t be saved.

For example, the money used to expand the dormitory area can’t be skimped on at all.

Once the upgrade was initiated, the dormitory area was shrouded in white mist, and Wen Ping continued on his way to the Main Hall.

Not long after, Lin Kewu followed Qin Shan to the Main Hall.

At this moment, Lin Kewu was full of joy, holding a Thousand Gold Ticket in his hand. Upon seeing Wen Ping, he said, "Sect Leader, I want to join the sect, I want to join the sect! My name is Lin Kewu, and this is my entry fee."

Hearing the eager urgency in Lin Kewu’s words, Wen Ping accepted the Gold Tickets and said, "Hmm, since you’ve joined the Immortal Sect, tonight I’ll introduce you to fellow senior brothers."

Lin Kewu nodded and then asked, "Sect Leader, aside from that Gravity Field, are there any other things?"

He had specifically looked at the bulletin board when he came.

There were many types of fee-based cultivation fields listed there.

Some cost 100 Gold for each use.

There’s even a Viewing Room, 100 Gold per hour.

There’s even a place where entry costs 1000 Gold for two hours of cultivation."

This filled him with a strong curiosity about the Immortal Sect.

Wen Ping nodded and replied, "There are."

Lin Kewu immediately asked, "Sect Leader, can you take me to see them?"

Wen Ping smiled and nodded, then gestured to Qin Shan beside him, "Elder Qin will take you to see them."

Lin Kewu was delighted and immediately bowed to the deep forest, saying, "Elder Qin, please lead the way."

"It’s my duty."

Qin Shan nodded, and after getting Wen Ping’s instructions and approval, he headed towards Churao Mountain. However, on the way through the kitchen lane, Lin Kewu found himself unable to move, gazing in shock at the Moonlight Trees on both sides.

However, he said nothing because he couldn’t be sure if his thoughts were correct.

Then he glanced at the Golden Eagle beside him. The Golden Eagle, after all, had lived for over a hundred years, having seen much more than him. But upon this glance, he saw the Golden Eagle also in a daze, its eyes locked on the Moonlight Trees, forgetting to walk.

Lin Kewu swallowed hard, then chose to ask Qin Shan, "Elder Qin, are these Moonlight Trees?"

Qin Shan nodded and replied, "Mm, the Sect Leader said all of these are."

After Qin Shan confirmed it, Lin Kewu’s heart, which had finally calmed down, couldn’t remain steady.

Moonlight Tree Leaves, each one would require thousands of Gold at Bright Mirror Lake, and even then, they were often unavailable for purchase. Like him, he had seen ten Moonlight Tree Leaves at an auction, planning to buy them to aid his cultivation and increase his strength, but the price soared to fifty thousand Gold Coins.

Yet in the Immortal Sect, this path was lined with Moonlight Trees directly!

Ten leaves here seemed like random scattered dry leaves on the ground.

The sight was too majestic.

He now felt, if these were Starless Sects, then the Two-star Influences in the world seemed utterly nonsensical?
