Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 870 An Introduction To The Cultivation World

Feng had seen several spirit tools before, but this was the first time he could feel them.

As soon as he felt the energy coming from the mask, he knew it was a spirit tool. After all, he had already understood that the energy all around him and in his body was spirit Qi. The faint energy fluctuation coming from the mask were spirit Qi fluctuations as well.

"That is correct." Lin Wu spoke. "That mask's a spirit tool."

"What does it do?" Feng couldn't help but ask.

He had seen the set of clothes and could tell than other than been way better quality than the ones he was wearing; they weren't anything special. They were similar in quality to the kind of robes the tea house owner wore.

And in fact, they were from the tea house owner.

Lin Wu hadn't forgotten to take the Tea House owner's spatial storage treasure. It was a simple pendant that hung from his neck and was taken by Lin Wu the moment he had withdrawn his tentacle after stabbing the man.

There were a lot of things in the man's spatial storage tool, which was of the mid grade. There were spirit stones, some pills, a lot of coins as well as miscellaneous items such as clothes and more.

Of course there were some sensitive items such as land deed, and other contracts in it too. Lin Wu had taken a look through everything while Feng was still asleep.

The mask, though, was not something from the Tea House owners storage. It was something Lin Wu had brought with him. He had the mask in his storage for a long time and now it was finally getting a use.

Over all the mask looked a bit crude, having been carved out of wood. It only had plain openings for the eyes and the mouth, and had a band at the back that allowed it to be worn.

If anything, it looked like a mask that was made by some child as a toy.

But it was not so. The mask was actually a mid grade spirit tool.

"It can help hide your spirit Qi and cultivation base. You haven't gained a control over it yet, so this will be essential." Lin Wu answered the boy.

"Oh! I see. It will certainly be useful." Feng nodded his head enthusiastically.

Growing up as an orphan from the slums, Feng knew well enough that keeping a low profile was very useful and would prevent one from getting in excessive situations usually. Even if he had become a cultivator now, he knew that he was weak compared to most experts and needed to grow stronger first.

Feng thus changed into his new robes and tried on the mask. As soon as he wore it, he felt a slight drain on his spirit Qi, which quickly stopped.

He didn't feel a direct difference at first, but a couple of minutes later he felt like there was a thin layer of some kind around him. The layer was immaterial and could only be felt through his mind.

He focused on it and felt the spirit Qi fluctuations being emitted from his body. The fluctuations spread out from his body and hit the layer, preventing them from going any further.

If any average cultivator saw him right now, they would only think that he was at the body tempering realm.

"Can this hide my cultivation from everyone senior?" Feng asked.

"Of course not. Right now, you appear as a normal human with just body tempering realm cultivation to others. But once your cultivation base increases, the baseline that the mask can hide will also increase.

This mask can hide up to two stages of cultivation. This means that even at the mid stage of the Qi refining realm you will seem like someone that is just in the body tempering realm. And only when you reach the Late stage of the Qi refining realm will you start showing your spirit Qi cultivation base.

But even then, it will only show you at the Early stage of the Qi refining realm." Lin Wu explained.

"I understand, senior." Feng quickly grasped it all.

It was a simple thing anyway and wasn't that difficult for the boy to understand.

"Umm… what am I supposed to do now, senior?" Feng asked.

He had gained a new body that was better than before and had even become a cultivator, but he didn't know what was next. Their deal was that he would do certain tasks for Lin Wu and he wondered what it would be.

"For now, you will cultivate." Lin Wu spoke. "At your current level, you won't be able to do much and will only die." He added.

"Thats… True." Feng replied. "But then, if I'm to cultivate, don't I need a cultivation technique?" he asked next.

"Indeed. And you have that already." Lin Wu stated.

"I have it?" Feng furrowed his brows, not knowing what Lin Wu meant by that.

"Try to think for a bit, see if you have some new information in your brain. There should be some new memories there that weren't there before." Lin Wu answered.

"I have new memories?" Feng muttered in confusions and closed his eyes, trying to see if it really was like that.

~UGH~

And just as Feng did that he felt a sharp pain in his head, along with a ton of memories that were appearing out of nowhere. The memories described a lot of things, and Feng felt a little overwhelmed.

The headache lasted for about two minutes before Feng felt better.

"This… this is the cultivation technique?" Feng finally found the right information.

It wasn't as difficult as he thought, since the cultivation technique was literally the first set of information among the memories.

"I've given you a cultivation technique and other knowledge about the cultivation world as well as concepts that you need to know. From now on, you will cultivate and comprehend all the information." Lin Wu stated.
