Advanced Qi refining room

Upgrade your dwellings refining room to include a martial arts training mode. Instruction tablets are sold separately.

Cost - 100,000 points

That was one hundred Spirit Stones. More than what William had to spend at the moment.

He closed the catalog and stored it before closing his eyes, trying to forget his lack of money. It made the cost of the spirit boat he was stunned by months ago seem like it was basically free.

Still, he planned on buying the upgrade when he had enough funds, whenever that might be.

This was one of the few breaks William decided to take in the past week. His daily routine usually involved locking himself up in his dwellings Qi refining room and attempting to convert his Qi into either Lightning or Healing Qi.

Unfortunately, to no success.

If William hadnt gained an obsession over fulfilling his desire to convert his Qi, he might have lost his mind at making no progress whatsoever. The session in the library last week had been the only time there had been any progress.

Lan Yang had been of no help, claiming that it was up to William to find a way to access Lightning Qi. Apparently, there was nothing further that could be done. He doubted it since he knew that grudge could still be in effect. Nonetheless, he accepted it.

As for Su Rou, she was still out of commission, so William hadnt been able to ask how she dealt with the range needed to access Healing Qi. He didnt think it would be this strenuous to help him and felt a small amount of guilt. Whenever she could move about normally, he intended to pay her back for the help.

Maybe by treating her to Fatty Xus cooking.

Kae is waiting outside.

William blinked rapidly, pulling himself out of the daydream and checked if he was drooling.

Oh! A visitor! Mei Lingxi said excitedly as she burst into his dwelling, going for the door before he could himself.

I can get that! William called out as he stood up.

Nonsense, Young Master. This is my job!

Elder Yu had thought it would be convenient to provide her a dwelling directly connected to his.

In a way, it was, but he bet that Elder Yu didnt foresee Wang Xiaoling and Mei Lingxi getting along like lifelong friends and deciding to room together. At least it gave Wang Xiaoling a reason not to completely hate her time in the sect.

His mild annoyance was due to the fact that he hadnt gotten another taste of Fatty Xus cooking ever since the first time at the stall. Something about the large man setting up his own stall before entertaining guests.

Like gifts? William asked unsurely, wondering if this was a vague way to let him know how to fix Wang Xiaolings annoyance toward him.

I cant be that direct, Young Master, Mei Lingxi tutted. Unless youre ordering me to tell you?

He thought about it, but using his position of authority for something so mundane would never be something he would do. Mei Lingxi obviously knew that with the smirk on her face.

That is no longer necessary, Kae interjected. Take your rest, Wei Liang.

William rolled his eyes, once again wondering what was up with him. Kae sounded personally offended that he didnt want to train. Still, with Mei Lingxis urging and the fact that the books he borrowed from the library needed to be returned or rented today, he might as well go with Kae.

No, youre right, Kae. It felt good to call someone by name without any honorifics. Maybe it could make Kae tolerable just for that. I should be training.

Have fun, Young Master!

William gave her a lazy wave before he stepped out and closed the door behind him. So, where are we going? The library?

With the past week spent fruitlessly trying to convert his Qi, he had neglected all the manuals in his spatial ring. While Kae would keep himself busy making a pill or whatever, he could read up on some of those.

How can you train in the library? Kae asked with a serious face.

There should be plenty of books for you to find, no?

If I wanted to learn, I would go to a lecture instead of playing around in the library. You spend more time fact-checking than learning there. Were going to the Mission Hall.

William almost missed Kae walking off from his shock. It wasnt that they were going to the Mission Hall. It was more about himself. And, well, Lan Yang.

Of everything he had seen during the tour of the common grounds, he had forgotten entirely about the Mission Hall. That was poor for a member of a sect where it was the primary way to earn currency.

It was even worse when the mentor meant to guide him had forgotten about it. Lan Yang really was a terrible guide.

William picked up his pace to catch up to Kae, who was speed-walking like he was late to a meeting. He held back a wince as his still broken rib and internal injury in his stomach area made their presence known.

He didnt bother to get them healed since he planned to do so himself with Healing Qi when he could. That obviously didnt go as intended.

Whats the plan? William asked before warning, I need to stay within the sect.

He had no intention of leaving before he had some semblance of mastery over the Human-Tier version of [Heavenly Thunder Scripture]. The last time he went on an innocuous mission, he was pulled into the Shard.

No, thank you. He didnt want to try his luck again with that.

Understood, Kae nodded as they quickly covered ground.
