What was that thing you mentioned last night? Something about opening... what was it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled faintly and leaned forward. \"A gym.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel blinked. \"Ah, right. A gym.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused for a moment, thinking, then suddenly laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, wasn’t that the thing you said was kind of like a brothel or an inn?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion froze and sighed. \"Please don’t say that in public.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel burst out laughing, nearly spilling his drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, if I remember right, a gym is a place you rent to train, right? You pay someone, spend time inside, and come out tired. Sounds exactly like a brothel to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion couldn’t help but laugh too. \"You’re impossible, Patriarch. But no, it’s not like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then explain it again. I want to make sure I’m not imagining things. This ’gym’ idea of yours sounds too strange for a sect leader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded, folding his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. You got some things right. A gym is a place for training, and people do pay but not for pleasure but for suffering.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel chuckled. \"Hmm, paying to suffer. That’s new.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. It’s not about renting rooms either. It’s based on membership. You pay once, and then you’re registered as a member.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion gestured about how the membership worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That membership lets you use every facility inside: equipment, weights, training rooms, everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel nodded slowly, looking interested. \"So it’s not like renting an entire room?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. It’s open use. You share the space with others. That’s why it’s cheaper, more efficient, and more motivating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel leaned back, tapping the table lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see... That actually makes sense. Shared effort, shared cost. I like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But before you get the wrong idea again... we don’t have girls for you to rent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel blinked, then laughed so hard the elders nearby turned their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, I get it! So if there are no girls, then what do we rent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned. \"Personal trainers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel tilted his head. \"Personal trainers? What are those supposed to be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion took a sip of his drink before explaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Basically, they’re like teachers, people you can hire to guide your training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion continued to explain it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They correct your posture, teach you proper form, and make sure you don’t get hurt while training. Think of them as body instructors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel hummed thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... You pay someone to yell at you while you lift heavy things?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More or less. But they don’t just yell. They also motivate you, adjust your form, and make sure you’re training effectively.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion then shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The goal is to help everyone reach their best physical state, isn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel nodded slowly, clearly intrigued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s... surprisingly clever. You could apply that even for cultivators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel rubbed his chin, thinking it over more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"People always train on their own and end up hurting their bodies because they don’t understand their limits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s smile widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. That’s the idea. My path focuses on understanding the body first, then mana second. A gym gives people a place to refine both through constant effort.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel rubbed his chin, thoughtful now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, instead of just teaching disciples, you open it to everyone: nobles, commoners, and even people without talent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. Strength shouldn’t be limited to bloodlines or traits. If someone has the will to work hard, they should have a place to do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel chuckled again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never thought I’d hear that from a sect leader. Most would guard their teachings like treasures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged. \"That’s why I’m not like most sect leaders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel smiled, leaning back with genuine amusement. \"You’re bold, Garion. Bold and slightly insane. But I like it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"You said the same thing about me during our fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel laughed again. \"And I was right then too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both relaxed, drinking as the hall’s noise filled the background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel leaned back in his chair, swirling his drink lightly. \"So... when do you want to build it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled. \"That’s up to you, Patriarch. If you give the word, I can start right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel blinked, a little surprised. \"Right now? You already have everything prepared?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped his chest. \"My goal is to spread the God Gym’s name. Starting here would be the most efficient step.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel’s smile grew wider. \"You really don’t waste time, do you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled. \"Time is just another kind of weight, Patriarch. The longer you wait to lift it, the heavier it gets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel laughed loudly. \"Ha! I like that. Fine then. Let’s do it. We’ll build one right here in our main city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded once. \"Sounds good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before they could continue, Elder Rendric, who had been sitting quietly at another table nearby, frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up and approached the two and carefully said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Patriarch, forgive me for interrupting, but don’t you think this is a bit... hasty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel turned to him, raising an eyebrow. \"Hasty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric nodded. \"Yes. I mean, I also respect Sect Leader Garion and what he’s done, but we only met him today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Garion for a moment before turning back to Raviel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And now you’re already talking about working together and building something under our clan’s name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stayed silent, calmly sipping his drink while Raviel listened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric continued. \"There have been other groups, Patriarch, who wanted to work with us right away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed his chin, thinking about it. \"Some of their proposals were well thought out and focused on profit and trade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel’s grin didn’t fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, that’s true,\" he said, tapping his cup. \"Those people had good business sense. They all wanted to make money with us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked back at Rendric. \"But tell me, Rendric... who are we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric answered quickly. \"We are the Revalis Clan, one of the strongest clans on this continent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel nodded slowly. \"Exactly. So tell me again, do we look like a clan that has money problems?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric hesitated, then shook his head. \"No, Patriarch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel smirked. \"Then why should I care about another boring trade deal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel looked at his hand and clenched it before turning back to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want something meaningful, something different... not just another business that fills our vaults that we won’t even know when to use.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric frowned slightly, not knowing how to answer him.\u003C\u002Fp>",1073,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","5e3621ad9f8251372f0641be42811debb2075813b742f49ab9bef2ec5f93c7f8","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-149","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-147",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
