Chapter 242: Lists

Hyesi took Ning to the various different places around Klavis. The place had grown to such a size that Ning himself had a hard time keeping track of. 

The amount of Klavian had increased to such a high number that when Ning first heard it, he thought Hyesi got the number wrong. When he asked him to repeat that, he finally understood why this planet had so many people. 

There were over a million Klavians alone by now, all of whom were taught by Hyesi and the other kids that were around at his time. 

Hyesi then took Ning to meet his son, who was also called Ning. When the Chief of Klavis saw the benefactor that everyone was named after they were shocked. 

It didn't take Ning very long to realize that the son wasn't the only person to be named after him. Nong, Nang, Ging, Nin, Maning, etc. Various variations of his name were used to name children around Klavis now. 

Ning felt a little embarrassed when he heard that. 

"And this is my grandson, Hekti. He's a good lad with a good head on his shoulders. He will surely become someone great in the future," Hyesi said. 

Ning looked at the kid that was trying to hide behind his grandfather's legs. "Hey, Hekti. Come here," Ning called him. 

Hekti surprisingly showed some courage and walked forward. Ning rubbed his head and asked, "Do you like books?" 

Hekti didn't know what was going on and shook his head. "Eh? You don't like books?" Ning asked. 

"I can't read," Hekti said.

"Oh, you will soon learn to read soon. Do you want a book for when you are able to read?" He asked. 

Hekti nodded. Suddenly, white light shined in front of Ning and there were a lot of books in front of Hekti. 

Hekti's eyes shined as his face showed an expression of shock. "How did you make the new books?" he asked. 

"Oh, didn't you know? This Inikaka can do a lot of magic," Ning said with a smile. "Here, look at these books. Once you can read, you can start reading this book and become very strong. Stronger than your grandfather."

Hyesi looked in surprise. He had been wondering about something for a long time, so he asked, "Senior, can this book help one go over Nascent Soul realm?" he asked. Up until now, everywhere he asked and looked, but there just weren't any person or record of anyone going above the nascent soul realm. 

Ning shook his head. "It's impossible to go above the nascent soul realm on this planet. The amount of people living here is so high that the quality of Qi has been brought down to almost nothing. As such no one is able to go above," Ning said. 

Hyesi got a little sad when he heard this. "Well, don't worry too much about it. You still will have 1000 to 2000 years of life span as a Qi Cultivator. Add in the body cultivation, and you can live for much longer," Ning said.

Hyesi got a little happier with that but still felt bad about not being able to reach a higher level of cultivation. 

Ning could think of another way, but that was something not even he was capable at the moment. So, he decided to not talk about it. Leaving Hyesi in ignorance was much better than in hope leading to disappointment. 

Ning stayed in Klavis for the next 2 months. Every morning, after sunrise, he had the people who had just finished their body cultivation hold some metal pipes together and slam them on each other. It didn't do much but it still helped fill the sound energy he was requiring. 

As such, in just a little over a month, he doubled his energy cap once again. Now, he could absorb 1.28 Billion energy every day. He also got a similar toggle ability just like the heat ignorance or the kinetic ignorance skill. He could now ignore 15% of all sound energy that hit him. 

There were a lot of cultivation techniques that used sound to attack, and Ning could be safe from them now. 

He opened his Auto Buy list and shook his head. He had no idea what he was going to do now. There was simply too much energy required to but the things there. Worst of all, he couldn't even increase his energy cap as one of the requirements to increase the cap was to spend energy that nearly cost the same as all of the things in the Auto Buy list combined. 

"So expensive," he sighed again as he looked at the list. 

<Permanent Teleportation - 10 Billion>

<Intermediate All Language - 88 Billion>

<10 Drops of True Dragon's Essence - 149 Billion>

<Intermediate Cultivation Knowledge - 55.6 Billion>

<Perfect Body - 947 Trillion Energy>

<Perfect Talent - 235 Trillion Energy>

After coming back from Vilmore, Ning had decided to go all out on his body and talents. He had realized how hard it was to make the body acclimate each time to different energy types so the first thing he did was to add every single acclimated type body into the body specification. 

Then he made the body itself very, very durable; much more so than the black marble he had with him. He also removed the Spiritual root purchase from the list since that only made sense for the world with Qi. He instead decided that when he had the body, he would spend some time gathering energy for everything required in every world.

For the other things, he needed knowledge and language, so he added them as well. Also, asking the system to teleport him every time was getting tedious, and he wanted to do that himself. Adding on the True Dragon's blood essence that he had promised Blue, there was a lot of time he was going to have to spend just collecting the energy. 

Ning couldn't help but sigh once more. "It's like the universe is coming together to tell me to stop moving around so much and settle down somewhere."
