The Romantic Cultivator

Ji Yuan was now laughing when all the 300 mortal cultivators had completed their run; they all had delightful faces and they were feeling highly motivated.

For the very first time in their lives, they all feel like they were the winners and the champions.

“So now, we all get to become the sons and daughters of the heavens?”

Ji Yuan laughed jovially, “That is right.”

All the mortal cultivators were extremely delighted and their morale was now unbeatable!

Fairy Anyang sighed softly as she said with great sarcasm to Ji Yuan, “Running one mile in one hour? Even a tortoise can beat it.”

Ji Yuan frowned, “A tortoise definitely can’t beat that unless it is an immortal tortoise. But the size of that thing is already more than ten miles and it can move one mile with every step.”

Fairy Anyang laughed, “Precisely. I am referring to the immortal tortoise.”

Ji Yuan: …

He was actually being sarcastic.

But all of a sudden Fairy Anyang turned to look at Ji Yuan, “Do you really have a plan?”

Ji Yuan looked at her mounds through her flimsy dress, “It has to be more transparent…”

Xiang Li rolled her eyes because she knew what Ji Yuan was thinking while Fairy Anyang asked curiously, “More transparent? Meaning?”

Ji Yuan laughed, “I mean we need a more transparent plan to make my plan an even better plan. But I do have a plan. Haha.”

Luckily, these mortal cultivators have weak divine senses and can’t see Xiang Li and Anyang or else they will be drooling at them like me now…

But he quickly returned his attention to the mortal cultivators to ask him, “Well. I guess that you are all almost ready to go to the summit now. Haha.”

“So fast?”

“Where is the sword fighting practice?”

“But I don’t really know how to use my profound strength yet?”

“No physical training?”

“It is so easy?”

Ji Yuan laughed, “Of course it is this easy. You’re all the survivors, the sons and daughters of the heavens. Your next step will be to reach the summit and be a true cultivator!”

Fairy Anyang muttered, “I think our master is just trying to trick them into going to the summit. Why is it that I think that it is going to be a disaster in waiting?”

Ji Yuan could hear Fairy Anyang now because she was not whispering to Xiang Li in the immortal sword but was forced to appear next to him.

When he had overheard Fairy Anyang, he whispered back. “This is merely the first step of my plan.”

Xiang Li put her face into her palms, not believing in Ji Yuan and was feeling extremely awkward; it was because it was a no brainer to see what would happen next. Ji Yuan was not even training them at all.

But Ji Yuan insisted to them, “This is important that I give them the courage first. When they have courage, they will triumph over the most difficult trial. This is called the power of the soul.”

Xiang Li, Fairy Anyang: …

What is the power of the soul when in actuality, these mortal cultivators are all powerless and as weak as an infant?

Ji Yuan clapped his hands to get everyone’s attention, “Haha. From this point onward, you are all going to be true cultivators. So does everyone have any cultivation questions for me?”

“Is there money in the Celestial Realm?”

Ji Yuan answered, “Well, we do use bronze, silver and gold coins here. The more expensive cultivation resources will require spirit stones and high grade spirit stones.”

“What is the difference between a high grade spirit stones and a normal spirit stones?” Another asked.

Ji Yuan smiled weakly, “Well, you need 1000 normal spirit stones to exchange for one high grade spirit stones. The normal spirit stones are actually almost worthless to be used as a trade. High grade spirit stones on the other hand can be used to recover your spiritual sea after a cultivation realm breakthrough and with some luck, you can even buy a divine sword with it. But that will be like a hundred thousand or more for a half-step mortal divine sword.”

“But as long as we work hard, we can easily earn the high grade spirit stones, am I right?” Another asked.

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, “I’ve to be very honest with you. If you have one thousand high grade spirit stones, you are actually a rich cultivator. Most cultivators even if they work hard, hunt the desolate beasts all the time and risk their lives in the trials, they will never even see one hundred high grade spirit stones in their entire lifetime.”

“So it is actually very hard to obtain high grade spirit stones?” Another asked.

Ji Yuan answered, “Actually it is not hard. It is just that high grade spirit stones are owned by the rich cultivation clans and they have literally millions. I just happen to know one celestial clan that burn a billion high grade spirit stones recently.”

He was actually referring to the Mo Clan; Diviner Mo Ming had burned a billion high grade spirit stones so that he could take the Dream Trial.

“Isn’t it like our real world? There are millionaires and billionaires but most people don’t even have a 100,000 in their bank accounts…”

“What is the fastest way to earn high grade spirit stones then?” Another asked.

Ji Yuan rubbed his chin, “Well, you can hope to marry to the daughter of one of the rich celestial clans. Then you can be rich.”

The same person who asked the question earlier said, “That will make me a gigolo. I won’t do this. It is against my manly pride.”

Ji Yuan frowned; does he even have a pride at all?

But he asked, “What is a gigolo?”

Many of the mortal cultivators echoed at the same time, “It is someone that depends on a woman for a living.”

Ji Yuan: …

Did they just insult me by saying that I am a gigolo?

When did I depend on a woman for a living?

Xiang Li was giggling, “Yes, my Big Brother is a gigolo.”

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan forced himself to smile, “You’re not going to be rich if you’re not a seventh realm golden saint. Meaning to say, you have to first reach the seventh realm sacred saint level first in order to obtain rare cultivation resources. It is because sixth realm golden supremacies are common place in the Celestial Realm.”

Many were shouting aloud, “Then we shall all strive to be seventh realm golden saints!”

Ji Yuan thought; well, good luck to all of you. Most of you will perish even before you can even become a fourth realm cultivator.

He laughed, “So, shall we go to the summit now?”

“Wait Great God Ji Yuan, shouldn’t we give a name to our group first? Since we are the sons and daughters of the heavens that are destined to become true cultivators?”

“How about the 300 Spartans?”

“Sounds like an awesome name…”

“It sounds pretty heroic as well…”

“Let’s use this name then…”

Ji Yuan said, “Then you shall be known as the 300 Spartans then. But what is it supposed to be mean?”

Many of the mortal cultivators were also asking the same because they had never heard of the name before.

“Where I have come from, these 300 are heroes that all die together. Real heroes.”𝑶𝚟𝓁xt.𝒸𝑂𝗆
