Chapter 215: Taking Disciples
The young man froze for a moment before answering seriously.
His name was Becky and was the descendant of a cultivator family. Because his family had violated a taboo, their family’s experts had been killed and the remainders had been exiled to the Desolate Region.
"Since you’re the descendant of a cultivator family, why do you not cultivate?" Sharky asked.
This young man did not have any traces of cultivation on him. Even though he had a strong body, he did not have any magic energy and seemed like an ordinary person.
Becky gave a bitter smile.
"This lowly one wants to cultivate, but because I have a crippled body, no matter how I was to internalize spirit qi, I am unable to do so."
"A crippled body?" Sharky was quite surprised. This was interesting.
The people with Fortune he had met before all had exceptional talent and dominated those of the same generation.
However, even though this Becky had far greater Fate than he had ever seen, he had a crippled body.
Sharky could not help but feel interested.
He was not of this world and naturally understood that having a crippled body was not everything.
After all, there existed a Weak to Strong Main Character tag.
Perhaps Becky was one of these people?
Thinking about that, Sharky looked at Becky.
Precisely speaking, he was looking at Becky’s Fortune.
Above Becky’s head, the dense golden Fortune continuously spun, and at the center, there was a faint violet light that was quite eye-catching.
Even though he was not doing anything and was just observing, Sharky could feel a faint pressure from Becky.
Let alone the current Sharky, even when he still had his Fortune, his peak could not compare to even one-tenth of Becky’s Fortune.
However, right now, Becky’s Fortune has not completely broken out yet.
Before, while searching for Sharky, Becky’s Fortune had given off some signs of breaking out.
It was just that after he had brought Sharky back, his Fortune had once again fallen dormant.
"It’s not yet time for it to break out..." After observing for a few moments Sharky came to a conclusion.
Even though Becky’s Fortune was powerful, it was still dormant and it was not yet time for it to break out.
Perhaps this was why his situation was so pitiful.
It seemed that Becky’s Fortune would most likely break out in about two years.
"Interesting." Sharky smiled and thought to himself.
Since that was the case, if he could directly influence someone with such great Fate and change the direction of his life.
Through the Fortune Mark, he could roughly tell that Becky’s future path would be a difficult one filled with blood.
Even though he did not know the details, the fact that Becky would be stained with countless people’s blood was something definite—he would be a ruthless killer and a domineering expert.
Sharky smiled and had an idea.
"Come up," he said softly.
Hearing this, Becky’s heart thumped but he still obediently went up and stood before Sharky.
Following this, Sharky put his hand on Becky’s chest, and Becky felt a warm feeling.
Sharky sent his spirit energy into Becky, Becky felt as if he had gone through a baptism and his body seemed to go through unique changes.
Those changes caused Becky to gasp in pleasure.
However, he immediately came to his senses and looked at Sharky.
"Apologies," he lowered his head, afraid that Sharky would be displeased.
As someone who could not interact with spirit qi, for him to experience spirit qi circulating around his body, it was a great joy.
That feeling lingered on his mind, wanting to experience it more.
"Is this how it feels to cultivate?" Becky could not help but sigh and felt great admiration as he thought back to that feeling.
Sitting on the bed, Sharky smiled, "It’s fine. I used magic energy to cleanse your body. In the following days, you will feel some changes; go and experience them."
Becky respectfully nodded before asking, "Yes. Senior... then in the future... will I be able to cultivate?"
He looked quite excited as he gazed at Sharky, hoping for the answer he wanted.
It was a pity that Sharky shook his head.
Sharky shook his head as he sighed, "Not yet. The state of your body is not very good. I used magic energy to cleanse your body, which should have rid you of any obstacles, but it still was not enough.
"However, when you internalize spirit qi again, it should be better and will not be as painful."
Sharky had a calm expression as he asked, "What cultivation technique do you use?"
Becky paused for a moment before telling Sharky.
The cultivation technique he used was just a low-grade, ordinary qi internalizing technique. Most people here knew it, and it was nothing precious.
Since even ordinary people would know of it, then it would be even more so for a senior like Sharky.
As such, Becky did not hide anything and told Sharky everything.
The cultivation technique that Becky spoke of was not too different to the Foundation Building Techniques that he had.
However, to Sharky, the cultivation technique that Becky used was too crude.
Even the simplest qi internalizing technique that Sharky had was much better than this.
Using this kind of cultivation technique was not only inefficient but could even harm his body.
It could be said that there were no positives to it.
Not only did Becky have a special body, but he was also using a cultivation technique like this. No wonder he was still an ordinary person.
Thinking there, Sharky inwardly shook his head.
"Come closer," Sharky said as he looked at Becky.
Hearing this, Becky’s heart leapt as he felt delighted.
"Could it be..."
He felt overjoyed but he had a respectful look on his face as he silently walked towards Sharky.
Following this, large amounts of information appeared in his mind.
A basic qi internalizing technique appeared in his mind, as if it had been engraved there.
Even though it was a basic qi internalizing technique, he could clearly see the difference. It was far superior to the one Becky had before.
They were on completely different levels.
"Thank you for giving me a technique, teacher!" Becky did not hesitate and kneeled down, kowtowing loudly.
Looking at him like this, Sharky did not stop him and only smiled as he said, "I only passed you a basic technique; how did I become your teacher?"
"Senior cleansed my body and gave me a cultivation technique; you are naturally my teacher."
Becky kneeled on the ground as he deeply kowtowed again, "In the future, this disciple will serve you to the best of his ability."
Seeing him like this, Sharky laughed and said, "Alright, that’s fine. You can go now, I want to rest."
"Yes." Becky nodded seriously before leaving the room.
After exiting from the room, an excited look appeared on his face.
"A chance!" He could not help but grip his fists in joy.
This opportunity before him was simply too rare.
He had struggled in this world for ten or so years, and now, he could finally see a ray of hope.
"Cultivation."
Thinking of that qi refining technique, he quickly went to one side.
Soon, he entered another room and sat down cross-legged as he began to internalize spirit qi.
Soon, he could feel the difference.
In the past, even if he sat here for an entire day, he would not be able to internalise much spirit qi.
One part was due to his body, and the other was due to how little spirit qi there was in the Desolate Region.
However, today, he felt great changes.
In just one hour, he had gained much spirit qi.
This was more than ten times more efficient than before.
After finishing this session, he looked overjoyed and felt some hope.
If he went on like this and continued to internalise qi, perhaps he could continue to refine his body and return to normal, properly setting out on the path of cultivation.
As he thought to himself, he felt incredibly excited.
However, when he turned and saw the young girl by his side, he came back to his senses.
The girl was called Zara and was an orphan he had picked up. Compared to him, her talent was much better, and it seemed that soon, she would be able to begin building her Foundation and truly begin to cultivate.
That was no small feat.
Without the support of any spirit stones or spirit pills, and using a crude cultivation technique in a place with little spirit qi, this was already incredible.
"Compared to me, Zara has more hope."
Sensing the sounds from Zara’s cultivation, Becky bitterly smiled and thought to himself.
Following this, he thought of the cultivation technique that Sharky had passed to him.
"With Zara’s talent, if she uses the cultivation technique that senior gave me, she should be able to complete Foundation Building quite quickly."
Zara’s talent was very good, and with a good cultivation technique, her progress would greatly increase.
However, he would have to ask Sharky for permission—cultivation techniques were not to be casually passed.
After coming to this world for ten or so years, Becky knew this world’s rules clearly.
If he passed the cultivation technique that Sharky had passed to him without any permission, if Sharky became displeased, everything would be over.
He had finally gained a powerful supporter, and if he enraged Sharky, resulting in him killing them all, they would be finished.
As such, despite having this thought, he still sought Sharky’s permission.
Thus, in the following few days, he cautiously looked for an opportunity, and he asked Sharky for his permission when he seemed to be in a good mood.
"Your little sister?"
Hearing Becky’s request, Sharky was somewhat interested.
"Bring your little sister over," Sharky thought for a moment before speaking.
Hearing this, Becky inwardly let out a sigh of relief before hurriedly bringing his little sister over.
The young girl did not look very big, only fourteen or fifteen years old. She wore simple clothes and was a bit shy, looking quite cute.
Sharky did a rough examination of the girl and felt quite surprised.
This girl’s talent was on a completely different level to her brother’s, to the point that it was quite terrifying.
Sharky’s body had a complete Spirit Root and had almost peak talent.
However, this young girl’s talent seemed to be better than even his.
Sensing the difference between Becky and Zara, Sharky felt quite interested and looked up above the girl’s head.
Above the girl’s head, there was a faint purple light. It was the same as the Aafrin.
Under Sharky’s gaze, the Fortune was incredibly eye-catching, and it was difficult to miss even if he wanted to.
And her Fortune was even stronger than Becky’s Fortune.
With such Fortune and talent, this girl would have no limits in the future and together with her brother. No matter how grave the danger they faced, that danger would turn into an opportunity.
Sitting on the bed, Sharky could not help but look to the side.
In front of him, Becky and Zara were still kneeling in front of him with respectful looks.
Seeing this, Sharky nodded with satisfaction and said, "It’s fine. Your sister’s talent is very good."
He looked at Zara with a kindly smile and said, "If you don’t mind, would you like to also become my disciple?"
Hearing Sharky’s words, Becky did not hesitate as he looked delighted and said, "It would be Zara’s fortune to be a teacher’s disciple. Zara, quickly pay your respects to the teacher."
Zara seemed a bit confused, but looking at her brother, she obediently nodded and earnestly kowtowed.
Following this, Sharky smiled and patted Zara’s head before passing the cultivation technique to her.
He then thought to himself before taking out some things.
"The spirit qi here is quite thin, and just internalizing spirit qi will not be enough."
"You can have these spirit pills; take one per day, and the effects should be quite good."
Sharky spoke as he looked at Becky and Zara and smiled.
Looking at the spirit pills that Sharky took out, Becky’s eyes burned.
At the same time, he felt the distance between them.
He had essentially begged Sharky to take him as a disciple, but it was Sharky who had taken the initiative to take Zara in.
Moreover, she had received such a big present as soon as she had become his disciple.
Fortunately, Becky was already used to all of this and did not mind too much.
After all, Zara was his little sister.
For her to receive good things, he was naturally happy.
"You can go," Sharky smiled as he said.
Looking at Sharky, Becky did not hesitate and left with Zara.
Sitting on the bed and looking at Becky and Zara departing, Sharky slowly closed his eyes.
