The Rich Cultivator-Chapter 30. Title at the End

Advanced Formation Master Kagura gently waved her hand. Two formation discs flew out from her sleeve. It expanded into a massive transparent square like tile and enveloped the Participants, along with the participants who failed.

Everyone was lifted from the ground and followed by the kagura who was flying in the sky. As long as they learn one or two things from the exam, it all matters. So Formation Master Kagura didn’t hesitate to take them away.

They landed on the entrance of a small building. Kagura then told everyone to follow and entered the small building.

Everyone followed one by one. Tyler entered the door, the expected interior didn’t appear. Instead they entered into a forest. The forest is not dense; there are many fields in the open. There are lots of bushes and most of the trees are taller and wider than a normal tree. The only things that are missing in this forest are the birds and the animals.

"Now let’s start the second exam. The eliminated candidates stay behind me." Kagura, who is sitting in one of the branches, said. She is wearing a skirt-like dress. The angle she is sitting in is quite cute and sexy.

"Create a formation trap to capture multiple Rabbit monsters safely and without injury. Injuries in Rabbits will get points deducted." Kagura explained the rules and pointed at the empty field.

Hundreds of white rabbits appeared and scattered across the fast forest and bushes.

Tyler and others went to choose a suitable location. The materials that are needed to create a trap are stored in the starting point. Unlike the last round, they can take as much as they want.

Tyler chose a small bush. He started creating a trap. After creating a trap formation Tyler thought of something, he ran towards the nearby tree and created a hole.

After some time. He placed many carrots in the formation.

Meanwhile, Kagura is evaluating everyone’s formation, " Formation for luring, Bait enhances formation, good. But not strong enough." She is noting down everyone’s performance. She glanced at Tyler’s formation and the hole beside it. "Double Trap formation. He is the type of guy who gives hope to the enemies and catches them off-guard."

Most of the participants’ formations are similar. It is a circular formation with a series of runes around the outer edge. Each rune is connected by energy lines, forming the containment barrier. The central lure point contains a carrot , emitting a tasty smell that attracts the bunny monsters. As they enter the circle, the containment barrier activates, and the immobilisation runes create a gentle field that restricts their movement, keeping them safely within the formation until retrieval.

"Okay, Time is Up." She clapped her hand. Everyone went hiding. The scattered Rabbits appeared one by one.

One of the rabbits sniffed its nose cutely and looked at the carrot under the tree. It then looked left and right and ran towards the formation. The Cultivator who is hiding near the formation was delighted. But when the Rabbit reached near the formation it suddenly disappeared and appeared in the same place like it was teleported. In its hand there is a bright orange carrot.

These Rabbits are called ’swift bunnies’. They have natural abilities to quickly move in a short distance.

The same thing happened in some other participants’ formations. But some people caught the Rabbit because of some speed-reducing formation in the trap. Some people created two or three traps because they were caught.

As for Tyler’s formation, The bunny took a carrot and ran. But the formation didn’t activate. So the bunny came again and took another and ran. But it still didn’t activate. After finding out there are lots of carrots without traps, the bunny happily ran into the carrots. Suddenly the formation lit up, the bunny was prepared and took a carrot and ran. After the Bunny stole a carrot, it ran into the nearby hole to escape. But as Tyler planned as before , Bunny was caught inside the formation inside the hole.

The Double Trap formation, when the enemy is focused on escaping one trap, they might fail to notice the obvious trap before them.

"Now let’s move on to the last step." Kagura clapped her hands. Out of 200 participants, only less than 20 people passed. The last step is giving them the badges and certificates.

Kagura brought a 20 shining badges and called their name one by one and presented them the badges

When it was Tyler’s turn she told him he did well. Afterwards she gave a small speech and also encouraged the failed participants to try again next time.

"Those who failed the last test don’t need to worry. If the total points of all tests are above the pass mark. You will also get the badge if you pass ." She then said,

Those who failed in the last test had some hope in their eyes.

With that The Beginners Formation Master exam concluded.

Tyler, having passed the Basic Formation Master test, decided to celebrate with a lavish banquet. He called his few friends in the sect. That includes Chen Xi, Chi and Priscilla. But Priscilla is busy with Cultivation so she couldn’t attend the banquet. As the banquet hall filled with joyful chatter, the beautiful maids entered, carrying exquisite dishes and fine wine.

On the tables, platters of ethereal delicacies awaited. The first dish was Lava Chicken Roast, a tender and flavorful poultry dish prepared with the flesh of a rare firebird. It was served with a side of Celestial Lotus Rice, grains that shimmered with an otherworldly glow. The fragrance was captivating, a perfect blend of sweetness and spice.

The main course featured Mountain Earth Steak, thick cuts of succulent meat from a Earth element Beast, marinated in a sauce made from Some special Herbs, known for their unique aroma and subtle heat. Alongside the steak was a bowl of Earthly Bamboo Soup, a light yet nourishing broth with bamboo shoots which is imported from another Continent.

For wine, the maids carefully poured Spirit Essence Wine into finely crafted crystal goblets. This wine was renowned for its deep amber colour and rich, complex flavour profile. It was said to contain the essence of elements, imbuing those who drank it with a sense of tranquillity and inner strength. Another popular wine was Starry Night Elixir, a vibrant blue concoction that sparkled as if filled with the light of a thousand stars. It had a crisp, refreshing taste with a hint of floral notes.

"Junior Brother’s dishes will even make Golden Core Realm cultivators envious." Chen Xi said, he is a little drunk and tipsy.

"Can you tell me more about young master adventure?" Zi Long poured him more wine. Zi Long is the butler of Tyler. He is trying to gather more information on Tyler.

After talking to Chen Xi, Zi Long left the building and wrote something on paper and threw it on a tree. A Sparrow suddenly appeared and caught the paper and disappeared.

"There is something wrong with your Butler Zi Long." Chen Xi, who looked a little drunk, said to Tyler.

"Yeah. I noticed it before, but it doesn’t matter. I will find out who is behind the scenes and make the move." Tyler replied calmly.

"As expected, Junior Brother. Well after leaving that Ghost village I don’t have any Memories of what happened inside. But this thought suddenly emerged in my mind." Chen Xi said.

"Ho.. what is it?" Tyler asked.

"It’s called Cultivation CC. Don’t ask me the meaning for cc. It’s actually a name from the upper world. Many millennia ago, there was an Immortal who passed by this world. He found out that even though this world has spiritual energy, it doesn’t have any proper Cultivation system. So he decided to descend on this world and teach everyone Cultivation. This is how the current cultivation came to our world." Chen Xi said.

"Oh it’s about The Father of Cultivation." Tyler said. It’s the first lesson in History class. Tyler remembered it.

He created a competition called Cultivation cc. Where he gathers Cultivators from all over the world and makes them compete to find who is the best. The Best in the world gets the chance to ascend to the upper world. They don’t even need to cultivate until the Great Ascension Realm to Ascend the upper world.

After the Immortal left, the people in this world will host this competition every 25 years. Even though there is no immortal to help them ascend. Cultivation CC still continues as a cultural sport. The goal is to find the best in the world.

"You want me to join the world level competition?" Tyler asked.

Isn’t that script too fast? First of all he never competed in any competition. Now he is directly gonna compete in a world level competition.

"Haha... No. First you have to win the preliminaries here. With your 4th stage strength, I doubt you will go any further." Chen Xi laughed.

"Well, I will give it a try." Tyler said. He always wanted to measure his strength and this competition might be the right choice.

"Hahaha. Great... Hurray to the Formation Master Tyler." Chen Xi raised his glass.

"Hurray!" Everyone shouted in unison.
