Chapter 48: Earthly Jade Cultivation Method
Ning slowly opened his eyes to look in front of him. But it seemed it didn't matter if he opened his eyes or not, He would still see everything around him since he was just an Energy inhabiting a body. His own body, but just a body nonetheless.
'I will have to be careful with this body. If this breaks, I will have to spend another 500 million energy to make a new one,' he thought.
Suddenly, a notification arrived in front of him.
<Congratulations on Acquiring a Human body>
<Condition Achieved>
<You can now absorb energy through Qi>
'Is that so. How do I absorb Qi? Just like heat and sound?' he asked.
<Use a cultivation technique to gather Qi. Half of the Qi will be stored in the body, and others will be absorbed>
'Hmm… is there a way to tweak the amounts I absorb?' he asked.
<You can choose to absorb less as an Energy, but the body will keep at least half no matter what>
'I see. That is fine with me,' he thought.
Hyesi was genuinely flabbergasted seeing a new body forming in front of him. That too one that belonged to his god.
"Lord Inikaka, You have successfully made your body?" he asked.
"Yes, it would appear so," Ning said.
"Look at your skin, Inikaka. It's just as shiny as your real self," Hyesi said.
'Shiny?' Ning was surprised. He didn't think his body was shining. He immediately brought his hands in front of him to check but it wasn't shining at all. He turned it both back and forth but there was still no shining.
'What does this kid mean?' Ning was confused for a second. But when he turned to Hyesi from his own hand, he finally realized.
'Oh, he means my skin is white. Has this kid really not seen any other white people yet? There should be many cultivators flying about, why are there none here?' Ning wondered. In the many weeks, he had spent in this area of the Planet Kumia, there weren't really any sightings of cultivators flying in the sky.
He had narrowed down his location in the northern continent by a fair amount, but that amount too was too much for him to accurately tell the location.
Ning quickly gave himself clothes matching the natives.
"Alright, let's go back to the village, and tell everyone that I now have a body," Ning said to Hyesi.
"Yes, Inikaka," he replied.
Ning walked back to the village and saw a face of awe and surprise in everybody. At first, they didn't realize who he was. But once they saw Hyesi behind him, they realized who he was.
"Lord Inikaka?" one person said.
"Yes?" Ning replied.
"Woah, it is you, Lord Inikaka. Look everyone, the lord has got a new body," the person shouted. Everyone started gathering around Ning to take a closer look at his and were really surprised at how different he was from the rest of them.
Ning started to get really scared when they got unusually close. Since they were so strong, a slight mishandle and they could break his body in half.
"Everybody Stop!," he shouted. The people who were making noise stopped talking suddenly. "Yes, It is me. However, since this is not my real body, I am very weak and it will take me some time to return back to full strength. So please don't do anything that would hurt this fragile body for now," he said.
Everyone agreed. Once everyone spent a little more time looking at their lord's new body, they went back to their daily tasks, which was just staying around doing nothing.
'These guys seriously don't have any other purpose than cultivating and living. They don't have any hobbies or play any sports. They just sit around the village doing nothing. Do they not get bored?' he thought.
'Alright, I will need to give them something to occupy themselves. The farm at the other place is good, but… hehe, I can think of something better,' he thought.
'I should get the Sun God's Morning Cleansing Technique so that I can get stronger as well,' he thought. 'Also, now that I have a body, I should start to cultivate as well. Techniques and weapons and other kinds of stuff can come later. I need a cultivation method for now,' he thought.
'Let's see… should I get a bad one so that I can struggle or do I get a good one?' he started wondering.
'System, what cultivation method can I buy for less than 100 million?' he asked.
The system listed nearly thousands of Cultivation techniques for him to choose from. That too were ones that were just under 100 million. If he were to filter otherwise, the list might have gone on for a long time.
He looked through the list for a few minutes. Thanks to simultaneously being able to think of 2 things at once, going through the list didn't take that long of a time. In the end, he chose one that looked to be good.
<Are you sure you want to buy 'Earthly Jade Cultivation Method' for 92 million?>
'I will be down to a few millions of energy only, but that should be enough for me now. Yes, buy it.'
<Confirmed>
<Congratulations, you have learned 'Earthly Jade Cultivation Method'>
'Hmm… I wonder why it didn't give the 5 different levels of knowledge option. Is a cultivation technique not the same as just knowledge?' he wondered.

Ning looked at the list of skills and thought, "So it is a skill, no wonder it didn't show up with multiple options to choose from. Also, I have a Qi Energy section now. I should start filling it up.'
'Now that I have a cultivation method, it's time to cultivate.'
