Is that a Wisp?

Let alone the old man, even the crew behind looked at Krune strangely, some started to laugh, other just snorted or looked at him with blatant disdain. This wisp is definitely looking for a beating.

But contrary to what they expected, the old man just shook his head and didn't say anything.

Why should he care, it's just a wisp, no need to pay attention to what he says, not to mention, Feifei is just a child, she will probably just forget about that in a few days time and even if she doesn't, she will definitely see it as a joke when she grow up.

On the other side, Feifei was as happy as ever

"You said it, you can't go back on your word"

"Of course!"

In fact even Krune himself didn't believe at moment that he would get there, but he now has a reason to try hard, a reason to stop fleeing. The more he looked at the smiley Feifei the better he felt.

But then, Feifei asked something that he didn't expect

"To get strong you need a good cultivation technique, which one you are using at moment?"

The old man just gave him a side glance, with his realm he could totally tell that this wisp doesn't cultivate any technique what so ever, he could see that he was still at the 2nd stage of the Qi Condensation and that was totally done through the normal accumulation of energy that all wisps are used to do.

Krune was taken aback by the question, it's not that he doesn't know what are those techniques, by following then one's cultivation can just go faster and higher, but he is a wisp, what technique is there to talk about? From all the wisps he meet in his 3 years of life so far not a single one of them had ever cultivated using a technique, they basically just accumulated energy like any other wisp, that was all.

Feeling a bit embarrassed Krune answered

"Well, we wisps are really too weak with very limited life spans, so I've never heard of a technique that a wisp could use, so I don't cultivate any"

The girl didn't expect for that

"But without one there is no way you can ever get strong, if you rely on the accumulation of energy alone even I can tell you won't get anywhere."

Krune could just reply

"There is no other way, I will just have to think about something else."

Feife looked back at the old man

"Uncle Feng, is there a cultivation technique that we could let him try?"

The old man already expected such a question and didn't think much of it, now that it got to this point and he knew that Krune wasn't coming he just want to get over with it as soon as possible, with a flip of his hand a scroll appeared on it, which he simply tossed at Krune

"This is the only technique that I know that could be used by a wisp, the problem of wisps is the fact that different from most of other life forms they don't have meridians, because of that the big majority of cultivation techniques are useless for them, and that is still true even after acquiring the human form."

Krune was ecstatic, he never had any hope to ever find a cultivation technique that work for wisps too, as a wisp, he knew way too well the difference between him the the others, the fact that there is even one that works for them is already a miracle in his eyes.

Uncle Feng noticed that and wasn't going to say anything else when Feifei intervened

"But uncle Feng, isn't that one of the most ordinary cultivation techniques out there? Father said that there is nothing worth praising on it and that only poor cultivators would use it at the start. Isn't there anything better?"

"There isn't, it's not that I don't want to help but that there is no way to help, without meridians how can a cultivation technique even be used? Be happy that this Myriad Energies technique even works."

Uncle Feng just said that and turned to enter the ship.

"Say your goodbyes because we are leaving in a few minutes, by the way, my full name is Su Feng."

In fact there was two things he didn't say, first because this is a very ordinary technique mostly used at the start of the cultivation path for poor cultivators, if Krune could leave this forest without being hunted it wouldn't be long before he found about it.

The second one is that although everyone considered it ordinary and easy to get, there was one thing that no one was ever able to find about it. How exactly did the creator of this technique make it work without meridians, it follows a totally different path than any other one.

Krune didn't mind, he already got much more than he could ever expect today, his life was saved, he got acquainted with someone from the Wang clan, got a cultivation technique that although ordinary it still works for wisps and finally, it seems like he got a fiance? Of course, just like Su Feng, Krune knows that it will be almost impossible for that to really happen, but at least he has an objective which is enough for now, he might not succeed but he will definitely try.

By the time he came back from his thoughts Su Feng had already disappeared, so Krune simply expressed his gratitude mentally to him.

Feifei knew it was time to go, in her childish mind she really believed they would met again

"Krune, you must definitely come, after you get there I won't need to get to know all those pampered young masters that father wants me to see, they are all too boring, Krune is much cuter and funnier"

Krune couldn't help but chuckle, she really has no idea what marriage really is about, but that's okay, even if she forget about it or just treat is as a childish thought later on, that won't matter, it's good as long as I remember.

"Alright, I will definitely do my best to get there, It will probably take a long time but I won't give up, you can count on me."

With that, they gave their farewells and Feifei was heading to the ship, Su Feng had already embarked the ship and there was only a few last member of the crew outside finalizing the last step to take off, but just at that moment no one noticed something flying out of Feifei's glabella and entering Krune's core, the cultivation difference between Krune and Feifei is like the difference between heaven and earth, it wasn't even worth to mention, because of this even Krune himself haven't noticed anything.

Inside uncle Feng was just hearing his subordinate commenting.

"Master Feng, is it really okay to let that wisp go after what he said, Master Wang won't be happy if he finds about it."

Su Feng replyed as if it was nothing

"Why would he, it's just a wisp, if Krune was one of those boys from the big clans then sure, he might have said something, but he definitely won't give even a second thought about the matter, considering who said that he will just take it as another one of his daughter crazy child talks, as for me, it would be beneath me to make a move on such a weakling."

The subordinate didn't say anything more.

Outside, Krune was looking at the Airship taking off, he doesn't know when he himself will be able to leave the planet nor if he would ever be, but since things have got to this point, there is only one way to go now and that is forward.

--------

A few days latter Krune was hiding behind a waterfall while scrolling through the Myriad Energies technique, after fully memorizing the contents he came to understand why it worked for wisps, turns out that it wasn't that the technique could be used without meridians but that it simply has no use for meridians to start with.

In fact although all races could practice this one it seemed like it was tailor made for wisps, instead of using the meridians, the cultivator had to manipulate the energy in his body to create a thing called pseudo energy meridians which are made of energy themselves and will disappear when you stop cultivating, that's why the meridians that one was born with had no use since this technique only worked through the energy meridians, your own true meridians would not be able to absorb the spiritual energy while this one was activated.

The reason for that is because when a cultivator absorb the energy from heaven and earth, he changes the energy properties to be in accordance with his own and only then it is deposited into the dantian or demon core, but the Myriad Energies technique follows a different path, it absorbs the energy as it is and deposit it inside without making any conversion, the conversion itself only happens inside the dantian or demon core, this is why this technique can't be used with any other technique since they will conflict with each other and probably cause a cultivation deviation.

Krune felt that this technique was made for wisp exactly because of that, since he doesn't have real meridians to start with the pseudo energy meridians are the only ones that he would be able to use to start with.

That was also why almost no one used this technique for long, in the end by using real meridians you will have faster results in your path of cultivation since most of life forms are born with over a hundred of them while the Myriad Energies technique can only allow you to create up to 9 pseudo energy meridians.

The reason why the other races even used this technique at all was because they need to first open their real meridians for use, and for that they need spiritual energy and that's were this technique comes in hand, after a few months of cultivation a cultivator with average talent would still be able to open more than 9 real meridians for use and they would cast this technique aside since it loses its use.

Of course there was several other ways to open the channels of the real meridians, for big clans for example they would have their elders inject spiritual energy into the body of their off springs helping them opening those channels which is a much faster and reliable way to do it.

Krune put his thoughts aside and started with the pseudo meridians creation, as a being of energy he obviously had it easy, by the end of the day he had already created a full working meridian, life forms of blood and flesh could do that too but would definitely take several times longer.

Once a meridian is successful created it will dissipate after the cultivator stops cultivating, but the next time he starts cultivating again it will only take a few minutes to reform that energy meridian, its just like riding a bicycle, once you learn it you will never forget.

Just like that a week went by.
