Eternity Starts From His Seed

Chapter 56: Multiple Surprises

Book Pavilion. Section B. Morning.

Retrieving his identity token, Bubai entered the room.

His eyes lit up with fervor as he took in the shelves populated with jade slips. These were all filled with knowledge pertaining to each of the basic professions and they were all available for reading!

Alas, time was limited and he could only choose one.

"One hour."

An extremely short amount of time compared to the length of time he invested in deliberating over his choice.

Why did Bubai take so long to decide on his secondary profession when he swiftly determined his primary cultivation method?

Aside from needing time to familiarize himself with his new Foundation Establishment method, didn't it all just come down to one word? Poor.

Indeed, his cultivation was of great importance, but his golden finger could supplement it, even in the absence of resources.

On the other hand, his golden finger couldn't magically provide him with the materials needed to master a cultivator profession.

Therefore, investing in a new profession will undoubtedly become a bottomless pit for his funds during its initial stages.

The expenses associated with acquiring the necessary materials for practicing a new occupation were far from trivial, and given his current wealth, he couldn't even afford to make numerous mistakes while learning a single profession, let alone attempting to master two.

Continuing along this train of thought, it was clear he wouldn't have the luxury of relearning a second profession if he failed on the first one or discovered later that his chosen occupation lacked value and struggled to enter the market.

At that point, he'll be hard stuck, becoming dependent on charity from WeiWei.

This would limit his growth, and if he couldn't keep up with her... Manager Qin was the perfect example.

So, a healthy growth was his aim, and this new job could be the best route to achieve independence.

Hence, the thorough consideration was necessary.

Now, he just hopes his decision wouldn't prove to be the wrong choice. He had invested way too much time for this, and he certainly didn't want a "bad ending" in this gal game...

"No time to waste." Bubai hastened toward the precise aisle Granny Shu had directed him to. Within moments, he located the jade slips recommended by the venerable granny.

"Basics of Qi-Gathering Arrays. Engraving Symbols on Formation Plates..."

Yes, this was Bubai's choice – the path of arrays.

He was a bit skeptical if this was the optimal choice for his current situation, but Bubai still resolutely embraced this path after careful consideration.

In fact, talisman-making or pill-refining might have offered a more economical start, but Bubai recognized the inevitable challenge of breaking into those markets without an established reputation.

Most cultivators hesitated to trust products from inexperienced newbies, especially consumables.

On the other hand, opting for arrays might have incurred a higher initial cost, but once he mastered the basics, an extensive source of tasks will be available to him within the sect.

Plus, it wasn't merely about securing a secondary source of contribution points...

Rather, Bubai believed his destiny was intertwined with the path of formations.
