Chapter 5 - Decision

In the early morning, the mountain mist had yet to dissipate.

Luo feng opened his eyes, ending his Cultivation of the Profound Water Art.

The increase in magical power this time was greater than before; Luo feng estimated that his mastery of the Profound Water Art should have reached a proficient level.

If only he had a panel, he could keep track of his progress much better.

After truly Cultivating, Luo feng realized how important it was to have something that provided real-time feedback on his progress.

Unfortunately, his Golden Finger wasn't like the proficiency panel described in novels from his previous life.

Now, Luo feng could only roughly estimate his mastery of the Cultivation Technique, and he wasn't sure if his assessment was correct.

The book didn't mention what would happen when one's mastery of a Cultivation Technique reached the proficient level.

He severely scorned the creator of the Profound Water Art for not clearly explaining such a crucial detail.

Luo feng stretched; the water-attribute Cultivation Technique had a decent nourishing effect on the body.

After a night of Cultivation, all fatigue was gone. No wonder so many people liked to Cultivate; the feeling was indeed good, it was just that the Cultivation effect was a bit poor.

He hastily made breakfast, and after eating, he opened his door.

Luo feng took a deep breath. If there was one thing the Cultivation World was better than his previous life, the air quality was definitely number one.

At this moment, Li Hu also happened to open his door and walked out.

"Brother Hu, good morning."

"You brat, you seem much more lively than before. You never used to greet me proactively. Not bad, you've made progress." Li Hu said with a smile.

Luo feng was slightly embarrassed. The original owner was indeed not good with words.

He remembered that he had something to discuss with Li Hu, so he immediately changed the subject.

"Brother Hu, could you help me manage the Spirit Field today? I need to go to Manager Li's place this morning," Luo feng said, a hint of awkwardness on his face.

"These are minor matters, leave them to me. Be careful; this old brother can't help much," Li Hu said, waving his hand.

Seeing Li Hu agree, Luo feng's face broke into a smile. "Thank you, Brother Hu. Without your help, I wouldn't know what to do."

Then, he retrieved five to six catties of dry rations from his room and gave them to Li Hu.

Li Hu had helped him so much, so expressing gratitude was necessary. Five to six catties of dry rations were roughly a quarter of a Spirit Stone.

It was just right as payment for Li Hu's help.

Li Hu was slightly surprised to see this. "You brat, you're finally wising up." He accepted it without refusal.

Luo feng gave an awkward smile. The original owner was indeed lacking in social graces.

However, this was also because his parents had protected him too well. In the original owner's memory, when his parents were still alive, life was quite good.

He learned Talismans and Spirit Medicine cultivation during that time.

But the original owner had no talent in Talismans. After his parents' accident, he stopped learning and only occasionally drew two Cleansing Talismans for his own use.

Fortunately, he had some talent in Spirit Medicine cultivation, eventually becoming a Servant Disciple of the Ghost Control Sect.

However, his parents' accident had a profound impact on him; his entire personality became very dull, and he disliked interacting with people.

He was completely clueless about social etiquette.

If he were powerful, this wouldn't be a big deal. In the Cultivation World, strength was paramount.

But the original owner was weak and lacked social skills, so he naturally lived a rather miserable life.

This was good for Luo feng. The narrower the original owner's social circle, the less likely he was to be exposed.

Luo feng checked the time and decided to head to Manager Li's residence.

After leaving the Spirit Field they were responsible for, they could see many small wooden houses like theirs scattered across the mountain peak.

According to the original owner's memory, the distribution of Spirit Fields followed a certain pattern, mostly located in areas with richer Spiritual Qi.

Luo feng wasn't sure how this was determined; the original owner's memory didn't contain such information.

Speaking of which, this was his first time leaving his Spirit Field. A world with Spiritual Qi was truly different; the trees were much taller than in his previous life.

Some trees were even Low Grade Spirit Gathering Trees, which had a faint effect of gathering Spiritual Qi and were also the main Materials for some Low Grade wood-attribute Spiritual Artifacts, specifically planted by the Ghost Control Sect.

Based on the original owner's memory, Luo feng confirmed that Manager Li's residence was at the top of the mountain, while his current location was roughly halfway up the mountain.

After confirming, Luo feng walked towards the mountaintop. A narrow path, less than a meter wide, led directly to the summit. Perhaps because it was regularly maintained, the path was quite smooth.

After about half an hour, Luo feng arrived in front of a small courtyard. The courtyard covered an area of about 200 square meters, and was shrouded in a white mist-like substance, obscuring the view inside.

Through the original owner's memory, he confirmed that this should be Manager Li's residence.

Luo feng stepped forward and gently knocked on the door.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

He waited for a while, and when there was no response, he muttered to himself, "Could Old Ghost Li not be here?"

Thump. Thump.

He knocked a few more times, much harder this time.

"Who is it? Coming, coming." a young voice came from inside.

Suddenly, the courtyard door opened, and a young man dressed as a servant emerged.

"Hello, is Manager Li in? I have something to discuss with him. Please inform him," Luo feng knew this person was Old Ghost Li's personal servant, so he politely asked.

"Master is in the study; follow me," the young man said indifferently, casting a disdainful glance at Luo feng.

He looked down on these Servant Disciples, finding them completely lacking in discernment, not even bringing anything, yet expecting to see his master.

Luo feng was a bit confused, not knowing how he had offended this young man. However, when one is under another's roof, one must bow one's head, even if this person was just a Mortal. "Thank you."

With that, Luo feng followed the young man into the courtyard.

"Wait for me here; I'll go report to master," the young man instructed Luo feng.

A short while later, Manager Li walked out of the room. Seeing it was Luo feng, he asked indifferently, "So, have you thought it through?"

"Manager Li, I've thought it through. With my Aptitude, Cultivation seems hopeless. I choose to leave. Please approve my request, Manager Li," Luo feng said courteously.

After hearing Luo feng's answer, Manager Li's expression remained unchanged, clearly, Luo feng's choice was already within his expectations. "It's good that you've thought it through. You can leave at the end of this month. I will give you a certificate then."

"Alright, if there's nothing else, go back to your duties. Remember, even in these last few days, you must take good care of the Spirit Medicine, otherwise, you know my methods."

"This humble one understands."

"Then, this humble one will take his leave," Luo feng bowed to Manager Li and slowly exited the courtyard.
