Cultivation Online - Chapter 445

A little over a week after the Cultivators' Association was announced, over 100,000 cultivators from Yuan's city alone had registered as a cultivator with less than 1 percent of them also joining the Cultivators' Association.

One percent may seem like very little, but the requirements to join the Cultivators' Association were not low, as one needed to be at least a Third Level Spirit Apprentice before they could even take the examination.

After joining the Cultivators' Association, the cultivators are given a special badge and assigned to a certain location in the city where they will be working, almost like actual police but with higher pay and more authority.

As for the number of cultivators that have registered at the Cultivators' Association worldwide, it reached 10 million people in less than a month.

Meanwhile, Yuan had reached the Eighth Level Spirit Warrior and improved immensely for his condition— to the point where he could push his upper body off the bed a few inches with his arms.

However, despite his seemingly fit physique and feeling like he was overwhelming with energy, Yuan actually couldn't exert much strength, feeling like something was blocking him from utilizing his full potential.

'Maybe Doctor Wang is right— that I might be cursed.' Yuan sighed inwardly.

Hopefully, he could sit up on the bed without external help by the time he enters the ninth level.

Sometime later, Meixiu entered his room and said, "Wang Xiuying said she'll be visiting later today for your checkup."

Now that Wang Xiuying knew his identity as Player Yuan, she has pretty much replaced Doctor Wang when it comes to taking care of him such as the weekly checkups, especially when Doctor Wang and his hospital has seen an explosive increase in patients recently due to the increased violence in the community between cultivators.

"Okay," Yuan said.

About two hours later, Wang Xiuying arrived at their apartment and began examining Yuan's condition.

"Everything looks normal this week as well." Wang Xiuying said to him afterward.

"I see. Thank you."

"What cultivation are you at right now, Yuan?" Wang Xiuying then asked him, and she continued, "I just reached the fourth level yesterday."

"Eighth level," Yuan said.

"Haaa… Looks like it's really impossible to catch up to you…" Wang Xiuying sighed.

"And no wonder why your body looks so fit despite not exercising. I thought it was weird when I first noticed it. To think it was because you'd started cultivating."

When Wang Xiuying learned that Yuan had been cultivating even before it was announced, she was obviously shocked, but what shocked her the most was when she learned that he was already a Spirit Warrior while everyone else was still a Spirit Apprentice.

Of course, there was one more thing that Yuan revealed to her.

Wang Xiuying looked at the door to make sure it was closed before asking Yuan in a low voice, "How's your recovery going compared to last week?"

Yuan proceeded to show Wang Xiuying his progress by lifting his body off the bed slightly before falling back down a moment later.

"As you can see, that's the most I can do right now," he said.

Since she was going to be his nurse, Yuan decided to reveal to her that his body was actually recovering.

"Wow, you're definitely making good progress. At this rate, you'll be able to tell Meixiu about your recovery soon."

Yuan nodded his head slightly and said, "Yes, I plan on telling her once I am able to sit up on the bed properly."

"Even though it's regrettable that I couldn't assist you in your recovery as I'd hoped, I am still happy to see you finally recovering after so many years." Wang Xiuying said to him.

"Although my body is recovering, my sight doesn't appear to be getting any better. Maybe I'll remain blind for the rest of my life," he sighed.

After a moment of silence, Wang Xiuying said, "Yuan, I don't know if this is true or fake, but I have heard a rumor going around recently— that there are other things in Cultivation Online that might affect our world such as resources. I know this sounds crazy, but so is cultivation."

"I have experimented with this rumor, but I didn't get any results, so maybe it's fake. Maybe there's some kind of requirement that one must fulfill before it takes effect, but if this is real, we might be able to fix your vision."

Yuan was surprised after hearing Wang Xiuying's words, and then he recalled the impurities that came from his body in the real world after consuming a treasure in Cultivation Online.

After pondering for some time, Yuan spoke, "Maybe… Maybe the treasure has to be of a certain quality? To tell you the truth, I think I have experienced it before."

"What?! Really?! Tell me more!" Wang Xiuying was immediately intrigued.

Yuan proceeded to tell her about the Translucent Dew of Flawlessness and how it cleaned his impurities both inside the game and the real world.

Wang Xiuying turned dead silent after hearing Yuan's story.

After a moment of silence, she said, "In order to gather further proof, we will need to obtain a high-grade treasure and test it for ourselves… I will see if my Master has any unwanted treasure since it's much easier to find higher quality treasures in the Spirit Heaven."

"Okay. I will also try to do some more experiments on my end. This will be immense if it actually works." Yuan said.

After talking for a couple more minutes with Wang Xiuying telling Yuan about her experience in the Spirit Heaven and her new sect, Wang Xiuying packed her tools and prepared to leave.

"Okay, I will see you next week, Yuan," she said to him before leaving the apartment.

"Is everything okay?" Meixiu asked him afterward.

"Yes. I am going to return to cultivation online today for a bit." Yuan said.

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"No, it's fine. I'm just going to talk with Xiao Hua and the others. I won't stay long. I want to reach the Ninth Level Spirit Warrior at the very least before I really start playing again." Yuan said.

"Okay."
