Pokemon In Cultivation World

Chapter 26 - Public Lesson

The next day.

Blake was sleeping in her bed like a log, snoring from time to time. While she does not sleep early, when she does it she only wakes up after a minimum of seven hours. It was now late morning, about time for her to wake up.

She rolled in her bed and felt a bunch of soft fur in her face. She slowly opened up her eyes to see the source and was greeted with Riolu's back. She groggily stood up from her bed.

"Uaaahh... Morning Riolu. Morning Honedge." Lazily said Blake while she stretched her limbs and patted Riolu.

"Riolu!" Riolu sleeps early and wakes up early, meditating until Blake wakes up. All of that in her bed, for some reason he liked sleeping beside her a lot. He wasn't even bothered by her snoring while he meditated, Inner Focus is great.

"Honedge." Honedge nodded from the side. He stays there in the wall of the cave inside his sheath, not floating or moving like he's a real sword. Honedge cannot and does not need sleep, probably because he's a ghost. He simply stays there, not doing anything else the whole night.

Blake was not worried that people might come and see the Pokémon since Riolu can feel other coming. He will either wake her up immediately or hide together with Honedge.

Minutes later, Blake put them inside their pokeballs and headed out. Today she wanted to go to the places she didn't go yet in the sect, like the library and the mission hall. While she was on her way, she heard something interesting.

"Let's go, the public lesson is starting!" A boy dressed in an outer disciple uniform urged another disciple.

"It's that day already? I just got out of closed-door cultivation so I did not notice it." The two left in a certain direction.

'Public lesson?' Blake was confused and decided to follow them. She didn't hear anything about a public lesson. As she followed them, more and more people started to appear. They were all heading somewhere.

After four minutes, she finally reached the place. A lot of outer disciples were making a circle around an old man, Blake recognized his uniform, It was the uniform of an Elder.

Blake doesn't know about Elders, but using uniform wasn't a rule for disciples. Even then, the vast majority still wear their uniform because it gave a certain amount of authority. Servants and normal people around this area, or "mortals" as cultivators called them, feared and respected cultivators. No mortal dared to mess with the Scarlet Flame Sect, the biggest sect around here.

Using the uniform tells the world that you are a cultivator and one of a big sect at that. Mortals and weak rogue cultivators will treat you with respect, envy, admiration, and fear.

*Cough Cough*

The Elder suddenly coughed, the noise was big enough to be heard by the entire crowd somehow. The disciples began to stop talking with each other and silence reigned over.

"I know that this is the first time for some of you here, so I'll explain what's happening. Every two weeks, a public lesson at the outer sect is held. I'm responsible for it this time, and I will the characteristics of cultivation realms." Said the Elder with his hands behind his back. His hair was grayish-black, and he wore the same red robe as all the Elders blake saw.

As soon as they heard about what the lesson would, some began to hushedly talk about it with others.

"I know a small amount of you all are from cultivation clans and already know a little about this, so I will explain it in detail." The Elder began his explanation soon after.

"The purpose of the Body Refinement Realm, as you all can guess, is to strengthen the body. As you absorb Spirit Qi to your Dantian, a small amount of it is absorbed by your body as well. This makes your body naturally stronger." Blake understood the lesson. As she noticed it, as soon as she advanced into a new realm, her body became stronger without the need to use Qi.

"The reason for this is to make your body a better recipient of Qi. The body is like a bucket, and Qi is like water. The weaker the material of the bucket, the more the chance of a leak or worse, of breaking. The stronger your body is, the thicker and bigger the bucket is."

People were all nodding, with thinking faces. Each of them got an understanding of the Elder lesson, some understood it differently from others. Blake wasn't that surprised or anything, she had read plenty of Xianxia novels and this is more or less basic stuff.

"I will now explain the Qi Emission realm. There's no need to talk about its purpose for now, so I will simply explain it's characteristics. A cultivator of the Qi Emission realm can emit Qi out of their own body and control it to a certain extent. For example..." The Elder hands suddenly produced fire.

He pointed his hand at a rock and a fireball was fired out of his palm at an incredible speed. The rock was immediately charred black as soon the fireball hit it, the fire spread all around the ground it was. The Elder waved his hand and fire immediately dispersed.

Everyone was amazed by the sight including Blake. She was even remembered of the Black Bear, who could fire fragments of earth.

'Could it have been at the Qi Emission Realm...? No, it felt somewhat different from what I feeling from this Elder just now. It was capable of forming fragments of earth, but it still had to depend on its own strength to throw them...' The Elder didn't use a single bit of physical strength.

"The more advanced the stage you are, the bigger the range and control you have over the Qi." Said the Elder to the crowd of amazed disciples.

"Elder, can you tell us about the Core Formation Realm?" A disciple cupped his fists and bowed.

"The Core Formation Realm? Hmm, not even I know much about it. The only one in this realm in the sect is our Patriarch. The only thing I know about it is that the Qi in your Dantian condenses and forms a core, having a qualitative change. Anyway, this is the end of the lesson, you can all go back now." The Elder left and the crowd began to disperse.

'That was interesting.' Thought Blake. She didn't forget the reason she came here though and walked towards the direction of the library. She soon got there, it was nearby to the place the lesson happened.

The library was a big building compared to the other around the sect, it had three floors and the ancient Chinese style gave an air of beauty to it. As soon as she entered, she saw an old man behind a desk who looked like he was the one responsible for here.

He had white hair and was wearing a black robe, different from the Elders Blake saw until now. He blinked as he looked at Blake.

"New here?"

Blake was surprised by the fact he could see she never came here instantly but still nodded.

"The first floor is for outer disciples, the second one for inner disciples and the third one for core disciples, with some exceptions. If you take anything from here without the knowledge of the sect, you will be punished. If you spread the techniques here to outsiders, you will be punished severely. If you want to rent a technique, just bring it to me." Said the old man, and Blake could feel the seriousness coming from his words. Fang Qing was really going mad when he gave his space ring to Blake.

Blake nodded and went inside. There were some disciples here and there, but everybody was silent. While there are no rules about talking loudly like in Earth's libraries, nobody seemed in the mood to talk.

Blake looked all over the place to find a technique suited to her and after a long half an hour of search, she finally found something.

Domineering Flame Sword Art.
