Chapter 10 - New Function
"It looks like I can learn any exercises if I have sufficient experience points. After killing the flameape, I got leveled up to 14 and still have little experience points remaining. Eh..why does this new exercise seem to be in blue color in the panel? Can it be leveled up?" Davion was shocked.
"How can a cultivator's exercise require so few points? If all exercises require so few points, will I not be able to become the strongest person in the world in a few months?" he was in deep thought.
Davion didn't know that the reason behind this was due to this exercise being only a mortal-level skill developed by a martial artist.
"It doesn't matter anymore. Let me learn it and see what it offers." After thinking for a while, he focused his mind on the Mind-Eye technique in the panel. The experience points started to decrease and finally became empty. The panel blurred and a new text was written in it: Mind-Eye technique learned which was in black color. Afterward, large amounts of information about the technique poured into his brain. It looked like he was familiar and had been practicing the skill for years. Everything was deeply etched indelibly into his mind.
"Wow, this golden finger is really strong. So, it looks like I need experience points for everything. I think it's time to try this skill first."
He again closed his eyes, trying to feel the breath of all things in the world. This time he found that the whole room had turned into hazy smoke, black, white, and yellow, all of which were basically faint and dull colors.
"Is this Qi? This looks like divine consciousness used by immortals in the novels that I used to read." Davion was really surprised.
"Let's try to focus on the other rooms." He focused his mind and tried to see in the other rooms. Sure enough, he could see a faint outline of a person which was red and blue. "Is this red Yang energy and blue Yin energy?" In addition to the red and blue Qi, there will be occasionally some faint black Qi. "Is this their emotions?" He also saw a strange person having a faint outline but this person had strong red Qi, which was shining and he could also feel some heat even from here. "Is this the Qi of the cultivator?" He tried to focus and try to see beyond the inn.
"Eh.. it looks like I can't see past this. Is this my limit?"
Davion finally opened his eyes. "It looks like my range is only about 20 meters. But will it improve if I level up? It looks like I need to find it in the future. Anyway, this skill is really powerful, worthy of being an immortal exercise. I am really lucky. Is this the protagonist halo?" Davion smiled and looked at the sky from the window, "It's getting late, I should go to sleep."
The next day, Davion came out of the inn and started using his Mind-Eye technique. He managed to identify many cultivators among them. One of them was shining too bright which made his head hurt. "Eh..is this a cultivator above the Qi refining state? It looks like I can't see through him."
While walking in the streets Davion managed to see some very strong people. "It looks like they are all coming for the ceremony. I should go back to the old shop where I found that old manual and buy that Iron cloth technique too. That lady is too kind."
"What! where did the old shop go?", he looked left and right but couldn't see the shop. "I am sure I bought it from here yesterday." So, he asked people near him whether there was any shop here. They said that they have never seen a shop here. "It's strange." While thinking about it, Davion used his mind to feel the breath around this place. He found out there were some unusual heat waves coming from here.
"Did something happen? Let's forget about it." When he was about to return, he heard some loud noises coming from the direction of the gate.
"Leave the way, stay aside, make way for our prince."
Davion stayed on the side and saw a large carriage coming from the gates. It was pulled by two demon beasts. These two beasts looked like a combination of a horse and a lion. It had the shape of a horse with a large fiery mane. It was at least 10 feet tall. Using his breath, he could see that these beasts were late-stage Qi refining states. Using these beasts just to pull a carriage showed their status.
"Brother, who are they?" Davion asked a person on his side.
"He is Prince Phillips from Papaver City. I heard that the moment he was born, there were loud sounds of the dragon coming from the heavens. I think he might be blessed by the heavens and must be a prodigy. Since the Sect selection ceremony is in this city, all the big figures from the nearby city will naturally come. As you can see there is another carriage coming from the back. That belongs to Princess Rosa from White Caramel city. I also heard that many big cultivators from the sects will come tomorrow." replied the person.
"So, the day of selection is coming. I should be prepared.." thinking about this, Davion returned back to the inn.
