The Void

(Changing from long paragraphs to shorter ones. Tell me if it’s better.)

With his lifetime savings in a little pouch on his waist Bei Feng gets ready to go to the market.

When he arrives at a long street with stalls at either side and various different things being sold.

Walking past a food stall with a lovely aroma compared to what Bei Feng eats with mother.

Bei Feng feels his stomach growling and grips the money in the pouch before quickly walking away.

Walking for a bit longer he finally finds a stall with some old weapons on a table in bad condition.

“Is this really the only place that sells cheap weapons in this market street?”Seeing the old and unkept weapons in the table unconvinced.

Looking at the various weapons on the table his main focus are swords.

His main weapon he used before reincarnating was swords.

Looking at the swords not really seeing anything Bei Feng asks the stall owner.

“Do you have anything else that I can buy?” With almost no hope when he asks this she replies.

”We have one but I doubt you’d want it.” The shopkeeper pulled out a sword that almost looks completely brown from the rust.

Bei Fengs eyes almost light up noticing what the shopkeeper is holding.

“How much?” Staring at the shopkeeper with eyes full of expectation.

The shopkeeper looked at Bei Feng as if he’s an idiot. “40 bronze coin.”

“Deal.” Quickly handing her the money Bei Feng takes the rusted blade and starts running back home.

After running at top speed for a few minutes Bei Feng entered his house and immediately sprints up the stairs and sits on his bed.

“Is this what I think it is?” Staring at the blade in his hand examining it.

“It actually is a progressive sword spirit.”

A progressive sword spirit is a blade that the more you kill with it the stronger it gets.

The reason they get stronger is because when you kill someone with it their soul get trapped in the blade using their power.

They start as extremely rusted

swords but can reach unimaginable heights with apparently no limit.

Regretting he never used one because of how rare they are and when he finally found one he already had good weapons.

There are the Original blades which are extremely rare and old.

People say the Original blades were crafted by the gods in their most dire moments.

One god used the blades to kill another god sealing his soul.

This blade is one of the celestial blades on earth and apparently it was lost forever.

Of course there are remakes and are still rare but cannot reach levels as high as an Original blade forged from the gods.

Lots of small nobles wouldn’t be able to afford them and would use normal weapons instead.

Although Bei Feng is excited about this he is still worried about whether it is actually a progressive sword or an old rusty blade.

“It’s time for dinner” Bei Fengs mother is shouting towards his room.

“Coming” quickly calling back he walked towards the kitchen.

“How was you day?”

“It was good.”

“What about you?”

“My day was also good.”

After a few more minutes of talking Bei Feng and his mother quickly put away their food. Walking back to his room Bei Feng was thinking about how he should rebuild his dantian.

Even though Bei Fengs meridians are still blocked it doesn’t stop him from rebuilding his dantian.

Bei Feng sits on his bed thinking about what technique he should use.

After a while he finally decided on a technique called the “Field of Life” it affects the whole body rebuilding any damaged parts of the body.

The only draw back is that to rebuild his dantian he has to destroy it and rebuild it over and over which results in terrible pain.

“Damn, do I really have to use this.”

Bei Feng was contemplating whether he should switch techniques.

“None are as effective as this one though.” Most of his other techniques just heal it and not rebuild thus not completely fixing it unlike the “Field of Life”.

After preparing himself he sits cross legged on his bed. Finally activating “Field of Life” he feels a warm current going around his body followed by extreme pain.

“GOD DAMN THIS HURTS!”

Gritting his teeth trying not to scream and alert his mother.

After rolling around with a cloth in his mouth so he can stop him self from screaming it finally ends after 3 hours of intense pain.

Gasping on the floor completely out of breath Bei ageing slowly sits up and lies down for a few minutes.

“It shouldn’t have been that bad unless I was poisoned or something.”

Bei Feng shook his head and went to the most pressing matter at hand.

Sitting cross legged on his bed he starts looking through his techniques to see what he should use.

The problem in his last life was that he had an unstable foundation.

“Ok I’ve decided. ‘The void technique’ this is one of Bei Fengs best technique for cultivation.

He never got to use it as he was already past the point where he could use it.

“Okay let’s start” letting his mind go blank Bei Feng started using the void technique.

The void technique allows someone to pull Qi from the void which is infinite. Resulting in being able to cultivate nearly anywhere.

After using the technique for a few minutes he started to get a warm feeling in his lower dantian.

Realizing he started to gather Qi he continued his cultivation with a big grin clearly showing on his face.

Originally he was just going to store the Qi in his dantian until he fixed his meridians.

“Screw it, let me try circulating it around my body”

Deciding to try circulate it he surprisingly feels the warmness in his dantian get smaller and start moving around his body.

Confused at how this was possible Bei Feng tries to think about how he did this.

“I forgot the ‘field of life also effects the meridians.”

Obviously the didn’t effect it too much as he was focused on his dantian and not his meridians.

“They should be at least mid grade talent now”

Bei Feng ultimately decides to wait for his accupucture treatment as it is most effective.

Bei Feng is already very excited about this so he decided to continue cultivating.

“This is gonna be a long night.”
