Chapter 4 Energy Properties

  Chapter 4 Energy Properties

  Fang Tian Nan knew that the reason he was treated this way was not only because of the unpleasant personality of the Outer Gate's Elder, but also because the sect did not place much importance on those outer disciples who relied on their 1,000 contribution points to advance, unlike those who had risen through the ranks due to their exceptional innate talent during the assessment.

  The path of cultivation is indeed too difficult. Without a certain amount of innate talent, relying solely on acquired effort to become an expert is simply too slim a chance.

  But for Fang Tiannan, becoming an outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect was a brand new beginning. A new residence awaited his move-in; a new life and new challenges also awaited him to adapt to and experience as soon as possible.

  After carefully checking the information on the nameplate, it is quite similar to the identity token. There is a name, a bone age, and contribution points that have already been cleared to zero. The previous 1,000 contribution points have disappeared, and in exchange, as an outer gate disciple, I can receive a regular sect welfare once a month from now on.

  There is Dan medicine and there is Wu skill.

  As for the token representing his status as an ordinary disciple, it has been taken back by the sect. Fang Tian Nan didn't have much to be disappointed about; although the plaque and token differed by only one word, they symbolized different identities and statuses. As long as your outer sect disciple identity remains unchanged, the sect's benefits will not disappear.

  If you want to get items beyond basic welfare from the sect, you need to make efforts yourself and earn contribution points to exchange them from the sect. If by the time you are thirty years old, you still cannot break through to enter the Human Yuan realm, you have two choices.

  One is to naturally leave the sect and return to the secular world, spending the second half of your life; the other is to change jobs and take on some positions within the sect, continuing to contribute to the development of the sect. If you really want to say it, the position that Fang Tian Nan's familiar Dream Shopkeeper holds is probably this type.

  In short, our sect does not raise useless people.

  These regulations are all written in the "Entrance Manual". In addition, on the first day of each month, you can go to Qingyun Pavilion to receive benefits. On the last day of each month, the outer gate attendant will uniformly arrange accommodation for all outer gate disciples who have been promoted that month. As an outer gate disciple of Qingyun Sect, what kind of rights and obligations they have when facing other personnel in the sect are also clearly written.

  In short, Fang Tian Nan needs to take a closer look.

  。。。。。。

  Leaving the vast and magnificent square, from a relatively spacious street, turning into a dark and humid alley, finally coming to a row of low and dilapidated old houses, Fang Tian Nan pushed open the easternmost wooden door and walked in.

  At this time, the sky had gradually darkened. The winding alleys were eerily quiet.

  Inside Fang Tian Nan's room, the oil lamp was lit. In the adjacent rooms next door, ordinary disciples of Qing Yun Sect lived, with varying amounts of contribution points gained. Over the past three years, Fang Tian Nan had witnessed new people enthusiastically moving into such houses, and also seen others who could not withstand the hardships of time, turning to leave.

  Some disciples like to gather in groups of three or five, while Fang Tiannan is accustomed to the quietness of being alone. Just like this dark night, a piece of silence. Only the flames jumping on the oil lamp, like Fang Tiannan's proud heart, declaring its unyielding to the darkness.

  Sitting on a wooden bed against the wall, in front of Fang Tian Nan, there was only one wooden table and one chair. The furnishings inside the house were extremely simple.

  After some thought, Fang Tian Nan took out two small crystal stones from his pocket, which were the light source stones he had exchanged with Meng Zhanggui. However, Fang Tian Nan had brought a total of four, in preparation for any unexpected situation. Now, there were only two left. One of them was no different from the one he had traded with Meng Zhanggui. The other one, however, seemed to have a richer luster.

  Fang Tiannan's acquisition of these light source stones was purely accidental. This was just like Fang Tiannan unexpectedly obtaining the tail of a third-grade earth dragon, leaving him overjoyed and bewildered.

  That was in a remote mountain valley within the Youming Mountains. It's said to be remote, but that's not entirely true. The Youming Mountains are vast, and almost every moment, there will be young disciples from the Qingyun Sect, Bihai Sect, and Taihang Gang, traveling through, hunting low-level demon beasts, searching for various medicinal materials and minerals.

  The mountain valley Fang Tian Nan entered, at least on the surface, is unlikely to have people entering frequently, and even if someone has been there before, they are not many.

  The one leading Fang Tian Nan in was a first-class, middle-grade demon beast, the Huan Yue Hu. At that time, Fang Tian Nan was carefully hunting down the Huan Yue Hu, but because of its speed, it quickly disappeared into the large patch of grass in the mountain valley, taking advantage of the opportunity to escape. Fang Tian Nan was quite annoyed and regretful about losing two contribution points at the same time, when he suddenly discovered that a cliff wall in the mountain valley was covered with yin-yang grass. The key point was that some of the yin-yang grass in one place was swaying abnormally in the wind.

  Out of curiosity, Fang Tiannan carefully discovered that there was a hidden cave on the cliff wall. The entrance to the cave was narrow and required crawling to enter. The cave wasn't deep either, with only a few faintly glowing points, which were the light source stones. At the time, Fang Tiannan didn't know what these small crystal blocks were.

  What surprised Fang Tian Nan was that when his hand touched one of the light source stones, he could clearly feel the warm energy being transmitted from the crystal stone, constantly nourishing the meridians around him, and even these warm energies could penetrate into his own blood.

  When the crystal stone's surface, the flashing wing's light disappeared, and the warm energy also disappeared. When Fang Tian Nan picked up a new piece of light source stone again, he felt that the absorption of energy had slowed down a lot, until it was almost imperceptible.

  Fang Tian Nan immediately realized that this light source stone must be something extraordinary, so he carefully searched for all the glowing crystals in the cave and collected them, including the one that was absorbed, a total of fifteen. It wasn't until later that Fang Tian Nan took out the light source stone and exchanged it with Meng Zhanggui for contribution points.

  Firstly, Fang Tian Nan was really curious about the specific name and function of this crystal stone; secondly, the light source stone that had been absorbed by Fang Tian Nan's energy would not change even if he held it in his hand again, so Fang Tian Nan wanted to figure out the specific reason.

  Besides, when trading for the exchange, Fang Tian Nan also used a light source stone that had already been used. Unexpectedly, the name and purpose were inquired about, but specifically for Fang Tian Nan, it was of little use. Fang Tian Nan was only surprised to find that his physique could absorb the light source stone that most warriors couldn't absorb.

  This left Fang Tian Nan with a helpless expression, unsure whether he was lamenting the disparity in his own innate talents or marveling at their unique existence.

  It was unexpected for Fang Tian Nan that Meng Zhang Gu had not noticed that the Light Source Stone had already been used and absorbed. Even the long-prepared speech he had, couldn't be used. It could only be said that the characteristics of the Light Source Stone were very deceptive to most warriors.

  。。。。。。

  After probing the properties of the Light Source Stone from Meng Zhanggui's mouth, Fang Tiannan immediately made up his mind that unless it was absolutely necessary or he had enough power to guarantee that it wouldn't attract the envy of other warriors, he would not take out the Light Source Stone in public.

  At the same time, Fang Tiannan also discovered that although he had absorbed a surplus of energy from a light source stone in the valley for a short period of time and his body was saturated, when he returned to Qingyun Town that night and subconsciously grasped the light source stone again to feel its warm energy, he surprisingly detected a faint energy absorption.

  It's just not as smooth as when I absorbed the first Light Source Stone.

  After repeated experiments, Fang Tiannan gradually understood that once the energy in his body was consumed or upgraded to a higher level, he could still absorb the energy of new light source stones. In short, Fang Tiannan's body was like a huge container, as long as the energy inside the container was consumed or the container became larger, it was natural to add more energy to the container.

  In the following month, Fang Tian Nan successively absorbed about one and a half pieces of energy from the light source stones. His strength smoothly broke through from a Ming Jin period warrior to an An Jin boundary.

  With only a month and a half left until he turned eighteen, Fang Tian Nan once again entered the You Ming Mountains. After nearly a month had passed, he found many exchange materials and was preparing to return when he subconsciously thought of going back to the valley where he discovered the light source stone.

  It's not that Fang Tiannan still wants to search for the light source stone. At first, Fang Tiannan searched very carefully, and besides, Meng Zhanggui had explained that unless it was a special environment, the light source stone would not be produced. Fang Tiannan pondered, except for that cave, it's unlikely that the light source stone will appear in other places.

  However, the experiences of the past month have made Fang Tiannan feel that after absorbing the warmth energy of the Light Source Stone, his own energy attributes seem to have undergone some changes. The original Fang Tiannan's internal cultivation of Qi was almost without any properties.

  This is also the reason why Fang Tian Nan's qualifications were identified as ordinary.

  Generally, some martial artists with exceptional innate abilities will exhibit certain energy attributes once they have cultivated their internal energy. Common ones include the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth, while less common ones include wind, lightning, ice, etc. In addition, a very small number of martial artists may even exhibit more than one type of energy attribute.

  All categories of energy attributes are essentially equal, but the strength and weakness of the properties displayed by the internal Qi indicate the height of a warrior's innate talent. The purer the energy attribute, the more outstanding the natural talent, and the brighter the future of cultivation will be.

  For nearly a month, Fang Tiannan has been digging up a first-class herb, and he hasn't noticed any significant changes in his energy attributes. However, when killing a first-class superior demon beast, Bone-Eroding Bug, he clearly felt that the vigor he unleashed had some yang attribute properties.

  Could it be because of absorbing the energy from the light source stone?

  Fang Tian Nan secretly rejoiced in his heart. During the period of training in the You Ming Mountains, Fang Tian Nan also did not forget to absorb the energy of the light source stones at all times, and once again successfully absorbed several more. Thus, apart from the first time he went to probe Meng Zhang Gu two months ago, and traded for that one piece of light source stone, Fang Tian Nan's hands now had three more pieces of light source stones that had been thoroughly absorbed of their warm energy.
