Online Cultivation
episode 38's

‘Mu Qing Approval …? Was Mu Qing the man just now?’ Yuan raised his brows in confusion after seeing the notice.

«Mu Qing Approval: Gives you access to specific events»

‘What kind of effect is this?’ Yuan became even more confused after seeing his description.

Unlike Gratitude Mo Zhou who gave him an offensive benefit, this Consent of Mu Qing did not provide such a thing except for an unclear description.

‘I guess not every effect comes with benefits like Gratitude Mo Zhou ..’ thought Yuan on himself.

“Xiao Hua, now that I have defeated a monster at Spirit Warrior level, do you think I am ready to fight another monster at the same level?” Yuan asked him a moment later.

“Un. But Spirit Warrior level monsters usually did not roam around in this area. Devil Spiders must be a special occasion. If Brother Yuan wants to fight a Spirit Warrior level monster, we will have to travel further south to the Purple Bamboo Forest. There we can find monsters between the first level and the third level Spirit Warrior.”

“How far is this place?” ask Yuan.

"A few thousand miles," he replied casually.

“Some thousand ?!” Yuan's eyes widened in shock, like traveling from one continent to another in the real world! How long will it take for them to get there without any planes or vehicles?

"Um ... And how are we going to get there?" He decided to ask her.

"We're flying, of course." Xiao Hua calmly replied. "Unless Brother Yuan wants to run there, that will take a few days."

“T-Wait a minute did you just say ‘fly’? Can you fly?!" Yuan looked at him with wide eyes, completely forgetting his skills.

Xiao Hua nodded and said, “Once a Cultivator reaches the Spirit Grandmaster level, they can manipulate the spiritual energy within their body and environment and soar in the sky. Of course, there are talented individuals out there who can fly before reaching the level of Spirit Grandmaster.”

"But since Brother Yuan can't fly yet, Xiao Hua will take you with a flying sword."

After saying those words, Xiao Hua took out a sword from her storage pouch and threw it into the air.

One would have thought gravity would pull the sword to the ground, but the sword actually remained floating in the air, almost as if an invisible hand was holding it.

"Yes Lord ..." Yuan stared at the floating sword with bright eyes.

He had wanted to try something like this ever since he saw a Cultivator hovering in the sky while standing on his sword when he first arrived in this world. However, he had not expected that such an opportunity would appear so quickly.

“You're the best, Xiao Hua! I love you!" Yuan went to hug her out of sheer excitement.

"Oh ..." Xiao Hua's soft cheeks turned slightly reddish after the hug.

“Again, how do I do this? Did I just jump on the sword? ” Yuan asked him afterwards.

“U-Un.” Xiao Hua nodded, and he spoke, "Since Xiao Hua is going to control the sword for Brother Yuan, you only need to control the spiritual energy in your legs and feet, or you will fall from the sword in the air."

"Okay, let's try this!"

Yuan immediately turned to face the flying sword with excitement in his gaze.

After preparing himself, he jumped onto the sword.

"Aah!"

Yuan immediately fell from the sword a second later due to a mistake in his balance.

“It's harder than I thought” said Yuan, but he didn't despair and tried again.

“Ugh!”

“Aduh!”

After many trials and mistakes that resulted in his face smelling the ground, Yuan finally got used to controlling his spiritual energy and balancing himself on the sword.

"Look! i'm hovering!” Yuan spoke happily after standing on the flying sword without falling for more than a minute.

Seeing this, Xiao Hua said, “Xiao Hua will move her sword now. Try to keep using the sword, Brother Yuan. ”

"Do it slowly!" He quickly warned her.

A second later, the flying sword began to move very slowly, moving one meter every few seconds.

"Ha ha ha! I did-"

As Yuan prepared to celebrate his achievement, he lost control of his spiritual energy and fell from the sword again.

"Don't worry, Brother Yuan, you'll get used to it." Xiao Hua pushed him.

So, Yuan started practicing with this flying sword for the rest of the day.

After many hours of practice, Yuan was finally able to remain standing on the sword even as it flew at a speed of 100 miles per hour. However, it was faster than that and he would instantly fall from the sword.

At the end of the day, Yuan was finally able to withstand the flying sword that was traveling over 300 miles per hour. Of course, he still needed Xiao Hua to control the sword for him.

“OK, Xiao Hua, it's time for me to log off. We can start traveling to the Purple Bamboo Forest after I return.” Yuan said to him at the end.

“Un.” Xiao Hua nodded before returning to the necklace, and Yuan came out shortly afterwards.

After logging off, Yuan could already hear the sound of soft footsteps approaching his room, and he instantly knew it was Yu Rou.

As soon as the door of his room opened, Yu Rou's soft voice echoed, "I'm sorry for not being able to take care of you yesterday, Brother."

“There is no need for you to apologize. You even need to rest for a few days. Anyway, are you okay? I heard from the waiter that you talked to Dad and Mom. ” Yuan said to him.

"Haha ..." A humble laugh came out of Yu Rou's mouth, and she spoke, "Rather than talking, it's more like being scolded."

“Eh? You scolded? Well, that's something you won't hear every day. What are you doing?" Yuan was surprised to learn that Yu Rou had been scolded, as she was the type of role model girl who had always been respectful and obedient to her parents.

“Well, my grades in school dropped a little”just enough to get me scolded.”

Although Yuan could not see his expression, he could hear the bitterness in his voice.

“So Anyway, our parents are very strict in terms of performance” Yuan said.

"They can sometimes be too tight .." she sighed.

“ Anyway, don't talk about such a sad topic. Why don't you tell me about your experience with Online Cultivation while I help you clean up? How have you enjoyed the game so far?” Yu Rou asked him a moment later.

"To say I enjoyed it is an understatement!" Yuan quickly said.

"Oh? Tell me more about it.” Yu Rou smiled after hearing her voice filled with excitement and happiness, which was an unfamiliar feeling even for her.
