Light Cultivation
Eps. 47 — Plan Ahead
The queue from the competition's exchange continued, after a few hours the Academy's participants began to realize the Golden Dragon faction was not in the queue.
The faction ranked number 1 is of course striking when their existence does not exist. Even when the queue started to run out there was no sign of the Golden Dragon faction's entourage appearing.
The peculiarity then reached the Academy Elders, the announcement of the victory that should have been retreated soon until the faction came.
Thoughts were all the same, perhaps the reason the Golden Dragon faction was late was because they were still in the forest. But after a few hours even almost afternoon the Golden Dragon faction had not come here yet.
Whispers crept like the buzz of bees, one of the fifteen Elders of the Academy went to the Lonely Forest to inspect the Golden Dragon Faction.
Unfortunately the time of the competition had closed 5 hours ago so the Academy Elders could not delay any longer to announce victory.
The Elder's mind was set back on the data of who would win, it was hard to say but that was the reality. The victorious representative will advance to the stage.
The result of the victory of the competition is easy to guess, the participants immediately realized who won let alone the main champion.
The Meily faction won second place by gaining additional resources while the third Ye Ziyun faction, was rewarded with weapons that had turned into an heirloom.
The first order was the one that shocked everyone the most, no one had expected even the slightest bit of the faction to win this competition. The Two Swords faction led by Miou Yue became the ultimate champion with the highest points in the history of the Qianshan Academy competition.
The eyes of all the participants were fixed on the small glass that the Elder gave Miou Yue, in that small glass was a water of the Dew Dew Dew Drop that could increase 1 stage of cultivation in a person.
Of course, those who see will be tempted, not a few of them who intend evil to seize it. It's just that they couldn't do it because the Academy Elders must have been keeping an eye on the Two Swords faction after this.
Because of this victory, the name of the Two Swords faction became famous in the Academy and its strength was recognized by some students. They were convinced that the Two Swords faction had been hiding its power.

Two weeks passed after the competition ended, Jian Chen was still in the Lonely Forest to train himself.
The demon gems obtained from the Golden Dragon faction he absorbed everything into his dantian.
Absorption of those stealth gems took days because of the large number. It was undeniable that after 2 weeks passed the power capacity within Jian Chen increased quite rapidly.
Jian Chen could feel how bothered it was to fight with such a small amount of inner strength. As an expert swordsman in energy, of course, he is very dependent on energy in.
That was the reason he focused his time on increasing his inner power capacity, around 460 inner power circles had now formed in Jian Chen's body.
Jian Chen stood up from his sila sitting after a long time of cultivation, he stretched his muscles and body which began to feel stiff due to his long silence.
“This is far from enough.” Jian Chen smiled complacently over his improvement.
The Silver God of Light had the condition of having power in 200 circles while the Golden God of Light had 400 circles. Arguably, Jian Chen could pass through his next cultivation as long as his 8 meridian points had enough light absorbed.
Apart from the case of Jian Chen's strength increasing unnaturally there was another one that he had to take care of which was about saving his clan.
Jian Chen had thought of his plan a long time ago and one of the ways to make it happen he needed something material: money. During this time Jian Chen only had 10 gold pieces from his parents for the necessities of living one year in the Academy.
The best way to earn money is to jump directly into the field that involves money such as trading, selling services, or doing business.
“It is better that I start my plan from now on, the power that slaughtered the Jian Clan must have a great amount and power.”
Jian Chen could not imagine what kind of power could kill his entire clan without remaining even a little considering the Jian Clan had many powerful warriors within. To be sure, he could not fight them all alone.
Jian Chen then departed from the forest, the thing he had aimed for the first time was the Jian clan inn in the Academy.
***
“Brother Chen, you are finally back!” Jian Luan was the first to greet Jian Chen upon arriving at the inn gate.
The 18-year-old man was seen sumringah after Jian Chen returned, he was initially worried Jian Chen had recalled having disappeared for two weeks.
Jian Chen responded to that with a warm smile then asked Jian Luan a few things related to when she was not in the Academy.
While walking into the inn, Jian Luan began her story of the victory of the Two Swords faction as the ultimate champion, in addition, he also added that after the competition ended, the Two Swords faction became more famous so that many new members wanted to enter the faction.
Hearing that Jian Chen nodded in satisfaction, it was the thing he wanted on the Two Swords faction.
The most shocking thing besides his faction winning was that there was another news about the condition of the Golden Dragon faction. Jian Chen chuckled softly in this part of the story.
“The Golden Dragon faction did not get a single point over this competition, but what was surprising was that when they returned, their condition looked miserable. You know brother Chen, they seem to have been hit by someone.” Jian Luan slightly held back a laugh while imagining it.
“Many have asked why they are so but the Golden Dragon faction kept their mouths shut about this. For some others, the Golden Dragon faction is like being humiliated in this competition.”
Jian Chen smiled faintly, he did not expect that the Golden Dragon faction would shut its mouth about his existence.
“Despite the most amazing competition is you Brother Chen, you are really great to get 2000 points alone.”.
In previous years no hunt had scored up to 2000 points by the faction, this was the first time not to mention Jian Chen did it alone so it was only natural that Jian Luan was amazed.
The two thousand points were exchanged into resources by Miou Yue before being shared all the members of the Two Swords faction, Jian Chen could see Jian Luan's cultivation increase by one stage due to those resources.
“Miou Yue several times to the inn to meet you but always come back because you are not there.”
“Hm, is there a problem?”
“It seems not. I think Miss Yue just wanted to give you something.”
Jian Chen nodded, after resting for a while at the inn he also intended to meet with her.
“Oh yes, I forgot one more, there was Miss Meily and Miss Ziyun who came here and both of them were looking for you, Brother Chen do they know you?”
Naturally Jian Luan was curious about this because the two beautiful girls were special people in the Academy. Being able to meet one of them is a miracle especially both.
As they were to the Jian Clan inn all who saw him were shocked, not believing a Goddess could pay a visit to such an ordinary looking inn.
Jian Chen smiled awkwardly, it was difficult to answer him but in the end he nodded that they did know him.
