Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 295 - 49: Is Your Name Really Wang Qi?
Mo Zhenzhen and her junior sister, Fu Xiao, were sitting in a corner of the tea house sipping tea.
In Divine Capital, there's no shortage of Intermediate Skill Cultivators and Ancient Method Practitioners; however, in Divine Capital, the Modern Sects only have a small foothold, making Modern Cultivators relatively rare. Since everyone there practiced Modern Cultivation, they found it easier to communicate with each other. Consequently, Modern Cultivators in Divine Capital tended to stick closely together and were quite familiar with each other. This steak house had become their usual gathering spot.
After hearing Hou Benli's question, Mo Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Brother Hou, you must be joking. I'm just an External Affairs Disciple; I don't know much about the True Inheritor matters."
"Ho ho, that Senior Brother Wang's Sword Technique and movement technique are truly..." Hou Benli's face showed a look of longing, "If I had the ability to split apart the spells of cultivators of the same level with a single stroke, that would truly be…"
"If...if Brother Hou, you really mean that, you might consider going west. Over there, over there, a Cult is causing trouble... there might be a powerful Divine Tao Cultivator."
"Give me a break, you all laugh at whatever I say," Hou Benli said annoyed, picking up his teacup and gulping down a mouthful. He then asked Mo Zhenzhen again, "Tell me, how did Senior Brother Wang develop his mysteriously formidable skills that aren't from any known Absolute Skills?"
It's nothing more than reading more books and solving more problems... Wang Qi muttered to himself as he sipped his tea behind them.
Mo Zhenzhen shook her head and said, "I really don't know."
Hou Benli then asked, "You mentioned earlier that there's a disturbance with a Cult in the west, what does that mean?"
"Oh, you left the city fifteen days ago, so you wouldn't know," replied Fang Ya, a disciple from Tianling Ridge who had inadvertently killed her lab rat. "Just ten days ago, traces of the 'Hongyuan Sect,' a Cult, were discovered to the west, leading to a crackdown. They rounded up a significant number of the Sect's members and followers, but that key Divine Tao Cultivator escaped. Then, four or five days later, the Immortal Alliance issued a call for action, demanding that no member of the Hongyuan Sect be spared."
Ah, Elder Feng acts quickly; I had just finished briefing him when he issued the call throughout the Immortal Alliance.
Wang Qi gleaned key information from their conversation.
Divine Tao Cultivators use the Incense Fire Power to condense a Divine Body, which is inherently extraordinary and has an affinity for nature's spiritual energy a hundred times that of a flesh body. However, nature's spiritual energy doesn't greatly impact Divine Tao Cultivators, so they have developed another Law Gate to bestow nature's spiritual energy upon their Believers. With this energy, the Believers can cultivate like regular cultivators, refining Qi, establishing Foundations, and forming Cores to transform into Infants.
In this model, cultivators are divided into two classes, namely Divine Spirit and Divine Priest. A Divine Spirit acts as a cultivation plugin, providing a large amount of the initially refined spiritual energy to Divine Priest cultivators. In return for more privileges, Divine Priest cultivators must pay the plugin writer—by helping the Divine Spirit collect Incense Fire Power. This is a rare mutually beneficial model among Ancient Method Practitioners. The only downside to this model is probably that the Divine Priest's cultivation limit is constrained by the Divine Spirit. However, in eras of scarce spiritual energy, this shortcut becomes more popular.
Back when the Holy Infant Sect dominated the world and possessed all of Shenzhou's Incense Fire Power, it could sustain more than ten Mahayanas. Without the Divine Spirit making an appearance, the Cult would not be considered defeated.
After listening to their conversation for a while and roughly grasping the intricacies of the situation, Wang Qi stood up and walked towards the two Wanfa Sect disciples. The snacks were also finished; it was time to get to work.
Watching Wang Qi walk over, several Modern Cultivators looked up at him. However, the pure and immense Modern Qi Intent emanating from him kept them from saying anything. Wang Qi walked directly towards the two Wanfa Sect disciples and greeted, "Greetings, Daoist fellows. I am here to ask these two fellow sect members for directions."
Fu Xiao, taken aback, asked, "You're a Wanfa Sect Disciple too?"
Immediately, Wang Qi silently practiced his mental method, suppressing the burgeoning effects of the Heavenly Calculation Atlas, Heavenly Entropy Technique, and Heavenly Song, revealing only the Qi Intent of the Yao Ding Calculating Scripture. With the interference from many mental methods removed, everyone recognized Wang Qi's cultivation technique. Mo Zhenzhen covered her mouth in surprise, "Oh my, your cultivation actually involves the Yao Ding Calculating Scripture!"
"The Yibi Calculation Scripture is not inferior, at least in terms of inclusiveness it is superior to the Yao Ding Calculating Scripture," Wang Qi smiled and said, "I am a new External Affairs Disciple, Wang Qi, and I would like to ask where the Immortal Alliance's Divine Capital Branch and the Wanfa Sect's station are located?"
As the saying goes, those who know much about one thing may know less about others. A strong mental method in one domain naturally tends to be weaker in another. Xiangyu Heavenly Position Technique, which claims to make 'one technique comprehensive for all techniques,' is both broad and profound, but just mastering the uses of this single mental method takes an immense amount of time—those who fail advanced mathematics cannot use this mental method. Both Mo Zhenzhen and Wang Qi understood that the Yibi Calculation Scripture was indeed inferior to the Yao Ding Calculating Scripture. With the compliment from the other party, Mo Zhenzhen also responded with a smile, "Actually, I am heading to the main temple to submit a Task soon, followed by going to the sect's station. This Brother... Senior Brother, would you like to come along?"
True Inheritors and Inner Sect disciples stay at the Mountain Gate for five years after graduation from the Immortal Institute, and by the time they leave the mountain, they have formed their cores. Outer Disciples don't receive this treatment; those with good performance perhaps study at the Mountain Gate for one to three years, while those less successful are directly stationed to various Sect residences or assigned to internal roles within the sect. Since Wang Qi is at the Qi Cultivation Stage and called himself an External Affairs Disciple, everyone regarded him as an Outer Disciple who had studied in the Mountain Gate for a few years. Mo Zhenzhen and Fu Xiao, who had just joined the sect this year, naturally referred to Wang Qi as Senior Brother.
This was exactly the effect Wang Qi wanted. The title of Banished Immortal wasn't glorious and could attract a host of troubles. It was best to keep his status unknown if possible. Wang Qi had no objection to Mo Zhenzhen's invitation. He found a seat nearby.
At that moment, Hou Benli came over, warmly clapped Wang Qi on the shoulder, and leaned in with a mischievous grin, "Brother, your flirting skills aren't bad."

Huh?
Wang Qi looked baffled. It was then that Hou Benli asked, "Is your real name Wang Qi?"
Wang Qi couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, "Indeed, my name is Wang Qi."
The exchange immediately drew everyone's attention, and with Hou Benli's "hint," they all realized the name Wang Qi was matched up.
"Wang Wangqi, Wanfa, Wanfa Sect, Mid-Stage Qi Refining..." Fu Xiao stuttered, "It matches up!"
