Mountain Sitting Immortal-Chapter 140 : Brighter Future.
His situation is the exactly the same as what he experienced when he first achieved level two of Mountain Karma. He lost fine motor control of his body.
When he walks, he stomps on the ground and scares Roar. When he tried to eat, he crushed spoons, broke plates, and shattered cups.
Even the table and chairs in the house were not spared from the tyranny of his body. A slight kick broke the table, and his attempt to pull out a chair made him fling the chair into a wall with a crash.
Breakfast was not easy for him at all. He had to claim to be sick and have a maid feed him.

He truly looked sick. Anyone who sees him stumbling and falling anytime he tries to walk will believe that he is sick. So he had the proper excuse to opt out of dojo for the morning.
He busied himself with exercise in order to regain control of his body as fast as possible. Then he went to bed to relax.
He sighed in relief and said, "It is about time."
He lay on the bed looking at his system stats. What he saw brought a smile of pride to his lips.
He originally needed two and a half months to reach level 3 of Mountain Karma. But the injury he suffered from Irvin's ambush took him out for nearly two months.
Then he had to spend a month hunting those who planned and executed his attempted murder. This delayed the time it took him to achieve level 3 by three months.
It should have taken him 5 and half months to reach level 3 because of the delay of three months, but he only took 5 months because of the extra work he did braving danger to liberate slaves.
But he has finally achieved it. It has put him in a good mood. Not even the massive increase in the requirement of the amount of Karma he needs to achieve level 4 is enough to deter him.
It is because he is stronger now. With great strength, he can achieve greater things.
For starters, he can increase the budget for bread now with much concern for his life. He has the strength of a second mortal coil cultivator after all.
Secondly, he can safely start to teach the advanced copy of the mana breathing techniques. If he does that, he will be able to gain more students and increase his reward of Karma.
Thirdly, now that he is stronger, he will have fewer scruples about the kinds of people he can steal from and liberate their slaves. This way, he can earn Karma faster from his heroic acts soon.
All of these things put him in a good mood. To top it off, now that he has the strength equivalent to that of a second mortal coil, he will be able to hunt easier and earn both the forge diagram and the powerful weapon that he has his eyes on faster.
This will ensure that he passes the regional sect examination with flying colors. Just thinking about it made him chuckle.
He chuckled for a while. Then he began to laugh.
He laughed so hard that Roar was startled. The golden dog jumped onto the bed to see what was going on.
When Roar didn't see anything out of place, it began to lick his face. Arthur had to call for the maid to take him away for fear of crushing Roar with his hands in an attempt to push the dog away.
He didn't want to harm Roar because he paid a lot of money for him, and he is counting on the dog to be his hunting partner.
He relaxed and said, "Things are looking up for me."
Things were indeed looking up for him. He stayed indoors for two weeks before he could walk properly. Then he spent another two weeks to regain normal control of his body.
After he had regained control of his body, he announced that he would be teaching the advanced mana breathing technique soon.
He had many breathing techniques from his numerous raids of stashes. So he can afford to give away the diagrams for free. Teaching them every day is just too easy for him.
He could have started teaching it immediately, but he wanted to create some publicity, and he also wanted to gauge public reaction.
Even though the alliance of dojos has so far ignored his dojo, he is sure that this action of selling the advanced mana breathing technique will step on the toes of a lot of people.
After all, the cultivation between the seventh and ninth transformations is what most of the people in the Turin kingdom can reach in their lifetime.
The seventh to ninth transformation is the nominal peak for most people. Many dojos are guarding the advanced mana breathing technique jealously. Yet, he is giving it away for free.
There are bound to be disgruntled people. He wants those people to stand up and show themselves so that he can beat them up before they have a chance to come to his dojo to disrupt it.
But things looked as if he was being paranoid because no one came out to complain after he made that announcement. It seemed that people were taking the promise of the Dyson family seriously.
When no one came to dissuade him after a month, he said to himself, "Maybe I was overestimating the importance of the advanced mana breathing technique."
He sipped on his juice while he watched Ruff wolf down boar meat. His days were carefree like this. But things were not so calm in the background.
Advanced breathing techniques are very important. It concerns more than just the livelihood and lifeblood of dojos. It is a matter of life and death for many people.
For example, in the Owl Claw dojo, there are only two people who have overcome the second major breakthrough obstacle and have achieved the seventh transformation of the first mortal coil or above.
Teaching the advanced mana breathing technique for free will change the power dynamics in the Owl Claw and this change can be dangerous.
