Li Ming assumed the [50] displayed on the Appraisal tablet indicated his Spiritual vein purity.
Although Li Ming doesn't know the workings or the meaning of the number displayed within the cultivation world, Li Ming's unconscious mind leaned towards believing this assumption.
For a simple reason.
This assumption worked in his favor.
This assumption, if Correct, would state that he had a Spiritual vein purity of 50%. Meaning that he had the qualification to practice immortality.
Though Li Ming felt his assumption had a high probability of being true, he also knew he couldn't jump to conclusions.
Fortunately, Li Ming confirmed his assumption by observing Owner Wei's reaction.
The glint in his eyes, as well as the curve on Owner Wei's face after looking at the glaring number on the black stone tablet, told Li Ming everything he needed to know.
Though it may also maybe the words that Owner Wei uttered that confirmed Li Ming's doubts.
"Congratulations!! Esteemed Customer"
But who knows for sure?
So Li Ming double checked with Owner Wei just to make sure he hadn't misunderstood anything.
"Owner Wei, does this mean that I can cultivate immortality?"
"Yes"
Owner Wei replied instantly.
At those words, Li Ming felt relieved.
When Li Ming decided to become a cultivator, he was uncertain about the path he would take in this world.
Would he conquer the heavens, slay demons, defy fate, and destroy the avenues like the transmigrators in novels?
Or
Would he die, be stuck at a bottleneck, be a passerby and a stepping stone in the lives of others, like in his past life?
After all, there is no certainty that luck always favors the transmigrators.
No law states that the best opportunities would always go to the transmigrators.
No one decides that a transmigrator has to be the protagonist.
Having the expectations of the protagonist with the ability of a passerby would only lead to disappointment.
Li Ming had already been disappointed enough in his mediocre past life.
He didn't dare have high expectations in this life.
But knowing that he could at least cultivate and live a long life was reassuring in his life.
After confirming the purity of his spiritual vein, Owner Wei took out a bronze jade pendant with intricate patterns.
"Lord Li, this pendant with the symbol of the Yan family can be used as your qualification identification that can be used during your admission into the sect."
Li Ming took the pendant with a feeling of being cheated.
A bronze pendant that cost about 20 gold coins.
With that money, Li Ming felt that he could buy a jade pendant for half that price.
In the end, Li Ming spent a fortune to get a brand name.
For some reason, Li Ming felt that the path of immortality was a gold-swallowing beast.
Leaving Li Ming with nothing but the illusory Tao
But Li Ming didn't regret it.
That noon, when the sun was at its brightest, Li Ming headed towards the Teleoperation array, which Li Ming had paid for.
Following Owner Wei into the yard, Li Ming felt that his future was shining at him like the sun.
So bright yet so unreachable
Owner Wei and Li Ming had finally reached their destination. They stood in front of a circular platform engraved with intricate patterns, about 5 to 10 meters in diameter, carved from an unknown black metal and stone.
The Circular platform seemed to be cold and lifeless, faintly glowing with silver hues, until Owner Wei crushed a semi-transparent shard that contained a faint mist within them.
The circular platform, now blazed with radiant light coming from the intricate patterns, was accompanied by a low hum.
The air around Li Ming and Owner Wei became distorted.
Time seemed to slow down. And Space rippled like water.
Taking Li Ming and Owner Wei to their destination.
