Adam never thought that this would be how things turned out when he decided to betray his home.

He never had an attachment to the place that he called home in the first place since he was nothing more than an orphan. He had been picked up by the organization and trained until he was sent out to be a pawn.

So it wasn''t as if he had any attachment to the place that he had been raised.

If he had to talk about one happy memory...then it was the orphanage that he had been raised in.

That was the place where Adam had met people that he could be friends with without caring about their social status. It was a place where he had been equal with everyone, so he could interact with them without care.

It was the place where he had been with his brothers and sisters, kids his age that he could open up with.

But they had all been taken away and trained like he had been.

They had been separated by the different organizations that took them in and even in the same organizations, they had been split into different teams.

So he didn''t get a chance to see them again.

And now, he found himself entering a cultivation sect.

Cultivation, it certainly was a strange concept for someone like him who came from a modern society. There were novels and such about humans using this kind of power, but it was completely different seeing it with his own two eyes.

At the same time, the novels that had been written could never properly describe this place.

The worst part was that there was no running water at all...

But other than that, he found that they actually didn''t care about things like food or water since they could use their cultivation techniques to sustain them.

It was a concept that he had never heard of before.

The other thing that Adam never expected was to be sent to this cultivation sect with the other spy that had been sent to this Mu Empire.

The last person that he expected to be with was Eve, this female esper.

She had the same look on her face as she entered the cultivation sect with Adam, but it seemed that she recovered quicker than him as she started looking around them.

She was also better trained as a spy than him, as she was already trying to gather information about this place. Whether that would be used to escape this place or for something else, Adam didn''t know, but he could tell that she was quite skilled at this.

After being brought to the Love Sect by Lin Fan, the man who they couldn''t see through and had captured the two of them, they were left to their own devices.

They certainly didn''t expect to be allowed to wander freely like this.

After all, the other side should know that they were spies here to find information about this cultivation continent and leave seeds for the invasion. But it didn''t seem like they cared at all as he just allowed them to do whatever they wanted.

"Go and pick out a cultivation technique from the library. After that, go and get some pills from the alchemy hall to help you break through. When you''ve broken through, you can go to the mission hall to find some missions to earn sect contribution points."

That didn''t mean anything to the two of them since they didn''t even have a foundation train.

So they quickly moved to the second floor.

When they reached the second floor and encountered the actual cultivation techniques, that was when they finally had a different reaction. The two of them seemed very excited about having the opportunity to come in contact with these real cultivation techniques.

But when they tried them...

It just didn''t feel like any of them was right for them.

That was because the two of them already had a different kind of power that didn''t fit the power that these cultivation techniques gave them. It wasn''t as if they could replace the power that they had with the power that these cultivation techniques gave them, so it felt like there wasn''t anything to gain from these cultivation techniques.

Still, they were excited about these cultivation techniques since they were the famous cultivation techniques that they heard about.

After a while, Adam finally found something different that caught his attention.

It was a cultivation technique that was placed on the side because no one wanted to take this cultivation technique. It was the kind of cultivation technique that was ignored because there was nothing useful about it.

But the moment that Adam saw the words on the side, his attention was immediately attracted by this thing.

That was because this was a mental energy cultivation technique.

In this cultivation world, mental energy wasn''t considered that powerful. There were a few uses for mental energy, but it was limited since there were few people that could actually train their mental energy to the peak.

They just lacked the talent for this.

But it was different for these two that were from the esper world.

Their powers were based on mental energy and they were limited by the techniques that they could learn to increase their mental energy. The esper world didn''t have many techniques like this and the few that they had were kept hidden by those that had them.

After all, they didn''t want to share these techniques and let others become more powerful than them.

Those that had these techniques could be considered at the top of the esper world.

Once he started reading this cultivation technique, Adam immediately realized that this was the cultivation technique for him.

That was because he could feel the resonance that came from this cultivation technique after he started training in it. After just a single cycle, he could already tell that his mental energy was stronger than before.

He really wanted to find something to test this newly gained mental energy of his.

But this wasn''t the place to do that.

Still, he also made sure that Eve saw this cultivation technique as well

When she finished reading it, she had the same reaction as him.

Both of them could feel the benefits to their mental energy from learning this cultivation technique.
