Otherworldly-Cultivator

Chapter 4: Become A Cultivator

"Finally awake?" Xiao Huoli asked as she walked into the bamboo house with a bowl of soup in her hand. Then she sat beside the young man, lifted his head slightly, and helped him drink the soup. "Drink it; it can help restore your body."

The young man didn't ask anything, and he immediately drank the soup as he felt really thirsty after waking up from a long coma. And after finishing the soup, he directly asked Xiao Huoli. "Where am I? And who are you?"

"My name is Xiao Huoli, and you are now in the Tianyi Realm." She replied as she placed the soup bowl on the bedside table. "I'm sorry for your eyes, but I haven't found a way to cure them for now."

"It's okay; maybe this is my fate, but I feel grateful that I'm still alive." The young man replied with a faint smile; although he tried to be strong, in his heart, he was lamenting his blind eyes. "Anyway, my name is Chen Li, and thank you for saving me, Sister Huoli."

Xiao Huoli replied sadly. "It wasn't me who saved you; it was my Master who saved you, but he is no longer in this world. However, before he left this world, he already chose you as his sole successor and has already passed his inheritance on to you."

"Your Master's successor? Your Master's inheritance?" Chen Li asked in confusion.

Xiao Huoli sighed softly, then she explained. "My Master is Song Tianyi. He is a cultivator, and his nickname is Immortal Spirit Song because he is the only cultivator who can establish a contract with us spirit races. And now, you are his only successor, so I hope you won't let him down."

Chen Li was flabbergasted by Xiao Huoli's words; he couldn't believe what he had just heard, so he asked in disbelief. "So I'm a cultivator now? But aren't those cultivators just fictional stories in novels?"

"We cultivators are real." Xiao Huoli replied with a low sigh, as she already knew that his home world had no cultivators, so she was no longer surprised if he thought cultivators were not real. "And to answer your question, you are not yet a cultivator because you haven't absorbed the Qi into your body."

"I see" Chen Li nodded in understanding; more or less, he could understand Xiao Huoli's words. In the past, he liked reading Xianxia novels and the like. "How long have I been in this place? I feel that I've been unconscious for a very long time."

Xiao Huoli said with a nod. "En, you have been unconscious for a very long time, six months to be exact. But don't worry because the flow of time in this place is faster than your world; ten days in this place are equivalent to one day in your world."

"Eighteen days, huh?" Chen Li muttered to himself. He wanted to go back to see his mother, but unfortunately, he couldn't do it, especially since his eyes were still blind. He then made up his mind. "Please teach me how to cultivate, Sister Huoli."

"Alright." Xiao Huoli then took him away in the direction where she used to cultivate.

Arriving there, Chen Li immediately sat cross-legged and listened carefully to the method of absorbing Qi that Xiao Huoli was teaching him. He would ask if there was something he didn't understand, and she answered all of his questions patiently.

After feeling fully understood, Chen Li began to absorb Qi according to the method Xiao Huoli had taught him earlier. After trying for ten minutes, his body slowly absorbed the Qi. And as time went by, his absorption rate was getting faster. Gradually, the Qi in his body became thicker and denser.

'Incredible! His comprehension is amazing!' Xiao Huoli inwardly muttered in admiration. 'It seems your choice to have him as your sole successor was not wrong, Master. If he can continue like this and become a dual cultivator later, he might truly become an extraordinary cultivator in the future.'

Not long after, a small wave of wind shot out from Chen Li's body, indicating that he had already become a cultivator. He then let out a sigh of relief. Moreover, he could feel his weak body becoming stronger after absorbing the Qi.

"Congratulations! You are officially a cultivator, and your cultivation is in the 1st Stage Qi Realm." Xiao Huoli said with a smile; she felt satisfied with Chen Li.

Although Chen Li still couldn't utilize the advantages of his Divine Profound Veins due to the effects of his Chaos Body, his speed was already faster than other cultivators. Because most other cultivators took at least an hour to successfully absorb the Qi, he could do so in just a few minutes.

"Thank you, Sister Huoli. I was able to become a cultivator because of you as well as Master Song." Chen Li said it sincerely.

Even though he didn't know anything about Song Tianyi, Chen Li already considered him as his Master because he was the one who saved him from death, and he also chose him as his sole successor, which made him feel truly indebted to him. 'You four just wait; when I return to the outside world, all of you will face my wrath.'

But then, Chen Li was rendered speechless by Xiao Huoli's explanation. She explained to him the advantages of his Divine Profound Veins and the shortcomings of his Chaos Body.

Chen Li was completely speechless once Xiao Huoli said he should become a dual cultivator. Of course, he knew about dual cultivators, and that meant he would have many women by his side in the future. 'Sigh, I have to explain this to Xian'er later, I'm sure she, big sis, and mom must be worried about me right now, but I still can't go back now.'

Xiao Huoli chuckled, then said. "Since you are now a cultivator, I will carry out the final processing of Master's inheritance for you. You better prepare yourself, as this might be painful."

"All right, I'm ready anytime." Chen Li replied confidently.
