Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 5: Choosing a Technique

Once the sect elder finishes his explanation and that they can now go choose their marital/body technique.

Everyone became excited and can’t wait to choose one as they rush inside. 2 hours may seem to be a lot but it’s not because they have to choose their technique carefully.

Not only does the technique need to be suitable for them, but they also need to be able to comprehend the meaning of it before being able to learn it.

Yang Wei didn’t act like those excited youths and instead, calmly walked inside while Meng Yan followed behind.

Meng Yan may not be interested in the technique that a third-rate sect has but she is curious at what kind of technique Yang Wei will choose.

Will he choose a hard technique or something relatively easy and what type will he pick. All kinds of different questions are appearing in Meng Yan’s mind.

Yang Wei didn’t bother with her at all because he’s not here to flirt or have some romance. He’s here to practice and improve his cultivation.

Walking up to the first staircase of this Martial Hall because there are three floors in total. The first floor is for the outer disciple, the second floor is for the inner disciple, and the third floor is for the core disciple.

The first floor only consists of the Low-Middle Earth rank technique but if they were able to go higher, the quality is way better. This is another reason why youth struggle hard to become an inner disciple.

Only by being an inner disciple, could they officially be called a member of the sect because their resources will increase and be paid attention by the sect elder.

‘Almost all the shelf is occupied and I’ll have to spend some time looking for an empty or barely anyone there.’ Yang Wei didn’t want to fight with other youths over some basic technique.

Yang Wei slowly finds an empty shelf because all the other shelves were completely occupied with almost all youth fighting against each other for a martial technique.

Being this crazy about fighting over a technique and even if they got it, it might not be suitable for them at all. Choosing a technique does not depend on the ranking, but depends on the usage.

Yang Wei will not fight over those popular techniques since most of them are flashy without actual uses. The technique could be the most beautiful but without any prowess, it is useless.

As Yang Wei continues to pick up the martial technique that is in very bad conditions. Some of them are filled with holes that you can’t even see the wording.

‘No wonder why this is a third-rate sect.’

Yang Wei was speechless as he finally knows why no one bothers with this shelf. These techniques barely have the beginning and no middle part or have the middle part and no beginning.

Shaking his head, Yang Wei tried to search through everything on the shelf earnestly as he had wasted a lot of time while others had already snatched their technique and registered it.

While Yang Wei was struggling, Meng Yan was confused by his action of finding a technique. Everyone is either fighting for the best or popular martial technique but he’s busy with finding a crappy one.

“Just what is this Yang Wei doing on that empty shelf. It clearly states that the techniques there are either completely basic or incomplete.”

Meng Yan can’t help but wonder what’s on his mind as she does not believe he’s a retard for coming to this shelf where no one bothers with it.

However, as time goes on, with only 30 minutes left, Yang Wei still hasn’t found a suitable technique and Meng Yan was bored to death.

Meng Yan was waiting for around 46 minutes before heading out as she can’t stand the atmosphere inside and Yang Wei didn’t bother with her.

Yang Wei didn’t notice that Meng Yan had finally left as he hoped for since he was scanning through the techniques.

With around 10 minutes left, Yang Wei finally found one technique called Movement Technique. Although the name is bland and nothing fancy, the main point is the technique usage.

Yang Wei finally finds this technique after scanning hundreds and hundreds of books. This one has the beginning and middle parts, explaining the concept and usage of it.

Despite only choosing one martial technique when he could have gotten two, Yang Wei was satisfied with this one.

Having more techniques doesn’t prove anything if you can’t comprehend and use it anyway. Therefore, it’s better to focus on one and master it completely.

Slowly, Yang Wei went to the registration center in the martial hall to record the technique he borrowed. The person in charge stares at Yang Wei like he’s a fool.

“This technique is the most basic and there’s no actual way of telling the cultivator to use it. What I mean by that is, this technique is simply a foundation and no power. Are you sure you still want to borrow this one?”

The person said kindly to warn him as there are other youths before him that try to be unique and borrow this technique.

However, they couldn’t even comprehend a thing since it’s only about the foundation of movement so they became weak.

Too weak that they are so badly beaten by others who have chosen a better martial technique with attacking power.

It wasn’t that he would care about them since it’s their decision but he knows that this boy is somehow related to the princess, Meng Yan.

In case they actually have some undisclosed relationship such as this youth being someone from the imperial family since they’re always secretive, then it could spell disaster.

Yang Wei didn’t know he was being warned because of Meng Yan being close to him and thought he was doing it out of kindness, bows at him and confirms his decision.

Seeing Yang Wei’s determination, the person sighs and registered it for him. He has done his best to warn him but since he insists on picking it, they cannot blame him.

Yang Wei bows one last time when the registration is completed and walks out of the martial hall. Walking out, he saw someone that he thought he had gotten rid of already.

“I thought you left already, seeing how you’re not interested in any of the techniques.” Yang Wei said with an awkward expression to Meng Yan.

“You don’t seem happy to have a beauty like me waiting for you.” A frown appeared on Meng Yan as she replied to his comment.

Yang Wei smiled bitterly inside and showed a bright smile that looks extremely creepy as he said, “No, I simply didn’t expect you to still be here.”

“Hmph, your attitude still needs more improvement and I’m here to tell you to collect your outer disciple robe and salary for the month.”

Yang Wei finally knows why she was still here and it was to inform him about collecting his robes and money.

He was embarrassed and ashamed of his attitude but he just doesn’t know how to interact with the opposite gender.

“I’m sorry because I never interacted with any female until now so my action and tone of speech are not to your liking.” Yang Wei honestly said since she wasn’t pestering him but telling him important information.

After all, he couldn’t hear the sect elder talking about it when he was being distracted by the questioning from Meng Yan.

A bright expression appeared on Meng Yan because of his honesty. Too many hypocrites have approached her for many benefits but Yang Wei never tried to do that once.

She smiled and slowly told Yang Wei to follow her to the location of receiving his robe since she knows he missed this information too.

Meng Yan can’t help but laugh in her mind since she had missed this information too if she didn’t inquire from the elder again.

Yang Wei didn’t have the authority to ask the elder to repeat his word again so he could only hear this from Meng Yan.

“Then I shall thank Miss Meng for guiding me to the location.” Yang Wei said politely to express his gratitude.

“Hehe, no problem, it is my duty to help a fellow cultivator in confusion.” Meng Yan cheekily replied.

Meanwhile, Yang Wei said nothing more other than following her quietly.
