Is that a Wisp?

Chapter 216 Where is the fun in that?

Krune then looked back at the officer and said.

"We will pay the fees now, can you help us with the ID's?"

The guy nodded, and they went through the entire process.

Nighttime came, and Krune's group finally left the place with their new IDs.

"Let's find a place to stay tonight. We can look for a house or anything tomorrow."

Everyone nodded and immediately started to look for an INN, which wasn't hard to find. For a city of this size, you could find quite a few in several places. Still, they were amazed by the night fee! For a common one used by ordinary people, it was still possible to pay with gold or silver. But if you wanted one focused on cultivation, with spiritual energy gathering formations and the such, the cheapest one wasn't less than 20 Rank 4 Spirit Stones!

Although this number means nothing to Krune's group at the moment, it would be a price that the majority of new cultivators wouldn't choose to pay unless they didn't have a choice. Or at least, that is the case back in the Luvile Universe.

Inside one of the rooms that they rented, Krune and Ruik were looking at each other. It seemed like Krune was expecting something to happen and couldn't take his eyes from him.

Ruik noticed that, of course.

"Do you need to keep looking at me? Why don't you go cultivate or something else?"

Krune shook his head.

"I wouldn't lose this chance even if a meteor were to be falling right on me at the moment."

Ruik felt gloomy and then said.

"Then forget, I won't try it now."

Krune's expression immediately got ugly.

"Do you want to do it the easy or hard way?"

Ruik felt a chill on his back and shook his head.

"Fine! It's not like I will turn out as you did anyway."

What else could it be than Ruik's first time taking his human form? You might kill Krune, but you definitely wouldn't get him to not see it this time. Krune is totally looking forward to seeing Ruik tripling here and there just like he did.

As expected, his transformation went smoothly, and he soon took the form of a man. Black hair and no beard. Of course, he was completely naked, too, so that's why Feifei and Tiane were not present at the moment. Krune didn't care about any of this, what he wanted to see is Ruik trying to walk around.

"What are you waiting by not moving a single muscle there? Come on! Didn't you laugh at everyone who tried to move when they first transformed? Let me see it now! What goes around, comes around!"

Ruik hasn't moved yet because he was trying to get the feel of his new body. Still, it seemed like that Krune would kick him forward if he took to long.

"Fine!"

With trembling legs, Ruik gave the first step. Then he gave another and slowly started to make his way around the room. Krune was already laughing. Sure, he didn't fall. But it was very funny to see this trembling turtle speed walking.

"What are you laughing at?! At least I wasn't like a certain wisp who couldn't move a single limb correctly!"

Krune didn't mind, though.

"Of course, wisps don't have a body to start with, so we don't have a reference like you did. Besides..."

Krune then approached Ruik and gave him a gentle pat on the back.

Crash!

That was all that it took for Ruik to lose his balance and fall with his face on the ground. As a Double Headed Snake, he obviously didn't have limbs before. So he couldn't control his new arms to stop that from happening.

"Do you think I can't see that you were trying to not use your arms at all? Hahaha!"

Sure enough, Ruik arms started to move like a frenzy worms when he tried to use it to stop his fall!

"Fine! I admit I had it coming. Satisfied?"

Krune shook his head. He then put some clothes on Ruik and called Feifei and Tiane in.

"Of course, I'm not satisfied, so I brought them inside to appreciate the view."

With Feifei's playful mind, she obviously loved Krune's idea. As for Tiane, she couldn't help but feel a little curious about how Ruik would turn out, so she tagged along.

"Gogogo! Practice makes perfect! Keep moving!"

Ruik felt like crying, but he had no right to refuse it now. Much less complain about them laughing at him.

"Hmph! Just you wait and see, I will get used to it in no time. At least, I will be a lot faster than you were."

Sure enough, Ruik really did get used to it a lot faster than Krune. That was to be expected since even though Ruik didn't have limbs before, he still had a blood and flesh body in snake form. Different from Krune, Lakin, Cassy, and the other wisps, he had a reference from where to start. Still, it wasn't before he tripled, hit a wall, or was forced into those two previous conditions by Krune and Feifei, that he learned enough.

When Ruik finally got a hold of himself to be able to move without being afraid of falling, it was already the morning of the next day.

Krune noticed Ruik's gloomy face and laughed.

"Alright, alright. We haven't eaten anything since we arrived, so I will cook whatever you want today as long as I have the ingredients."

Ruik's dead eyes immediately resurrected!

"Blood chicken wings!"

Krune nodded and asked Feifei and Tiane as well. Tiane, of course, had heard from Feifei that Krune loved to cook. Still, she felt like it was a joke from Feifei. That is the Divine path Sect Master's disciple. How could someone like that waste his time cooking? So she felt somewhat lost when Krune asked what she wanted.

"Errr... Do you have Spirit Cave worms?"

Krune nodded.

"Tasier loved those, so I bought a few for when he asked for it. How do you want it? Fried? Steamed? I recommend it with soup, though."

Tiane just accepted Krune's offer. Feifei didn't feel anything from the fact that Tiane liked those worms. After all, the two of them have been together for a long time already. As for Krune, in his eyes, food is food, that's all!

While they were eating on the table, Krune brought the work problem out.

"I connected to this city network and checked the price for using formations, buying cultivation resources, rent a house, etc. Both me and Feifei have a little more than 10000 Rank 7 Spirit Stones. My master and Feifei's Ancestor thought that it would already be a lot of spirit stones for someone at our realms. In fact, it really is if we consider the Luvile Universe. We could live for years with this amount if we don't use them for cultivation."

"Still, this is almost nothing in this place. Just to rent a courtyard somewhere cheap that can fit us four, it is already 500+ Rank 5 Spirit Stones monthly! And that is just to rent! I better not even talk to you about the buying price of those, let alone the price for good ones."

"Still, it is only expensive in our eyes. In the eyes of the people and beasts here, this is just common. Because of that, any job that you do also pays several times more than what you would receive back in the Luvile Universe. So we can also make a lot of spirit stones by just working on our side occupations."

Ruik then said.

"But, I have no side occupation!"

Krune then said.

"That isn't a problem, they also have something like the Mercenary Guild here. It is just that it is called the Mission Hall, you can complete the missions and receive the payment. Once again, you will get a lot more than what you would for a mission of the same level in the Luvile Universe."

Feifei couldn't help but comment.

"No wonder the cultivation of everyone around seems far above average. Even the ordinary people seemed to be at least in the Foundation Establishment. With ordinary jobs paying much more, even they can get this far. I can understand why the universe powerhouses out there blocked the entrance to this place. As long as one puts the effort, they will definitely soar at a much higher speed."

Everyone nodded, and Krune also added.

"Not to mention that this Universe has easier to understand Laws! Simply put, this is a cultivation paradise! It totally makes sense why such a place is sealed for anyone else who hasn't paid the price."

Krune then sent a link to everyone and showed a severe expression.

"Take a look at what I sent you."

Everyone opened that and soon were taken aback!

Tiane was the first one to comment.

"So many amazing cultivation techniques! There are even a few that would be regarded as treasures by our Wang Clan. There are also skills!"

Ruik also exclaimed.

"Every single one being shown here can be bought with Spirit Stones! Of course, the excellent ones are extremely expensive. Still, they are things that you definitely wouldn't get even if you had the money back in our Luvile Universe."

Feifei noticed that Krune's didn't seem that happy and asked.

"What is wrong with those techniques and skills?"

Tiane and Ruik also noticed the change and looked at Krune.

Krune, on the other hand, just shook his head.

"There is nothing wrong with them, and that is the worrying part. Can't you see it? Any enemy that we find from now on will be far above in strength than the ordinary ones back in the Luvile Universe."

"No! To be more precise, this new level of strength is what we should call ordinary from now on. I had the confidence of beating any usual Core Formation Realm cultivator or demon beast before with easy. But now, it is obvious that things won't be like that anymore. There is an uncountable number of battle videos around the network that you can take a look at. From what I could see, any 1st Stage Core Formation Realm from here can definitely put a fight to any ordinary 2nd to 3rd Stage back in the Luvile Universe."

Krune then looked at Ruik and said.

"So take this chance and go cultivate! Go take missions! Go make money! You have my Myriad Energies Technique and can now open the Elemental Meridians with your Core Formation Realm! If I see you losing a battle for an ordinary cultivator or demon beast of the same level, you better be prepared for the consequences!"

Krune then connected his communicator to the monitor in the room and started to play a video... of Ruik trying his first steps in his human form.

"Once we get back to our Universe, I will make sure to show this video to everyone!"

Ruik felt like the world went dark right there and then.

"You! Delete it now!"

Krune just laughed, though.

"Where is the fun in that? I already uploaded it to a safe place, even if you get my communicator, I still have my ways of getting this video. I'm looking forward to your improvement."

Feifei and even Tiane were just laughing on the side.

Feifei couldn't but think.

'Krune is getting more and more like his Master.'
