Chereads / The Cultivation System / Chapter 10 - Chapter 10

Chapter 10 - Chapter 10

After a few hours, Ye Mo opens his eyes and notices that the wound on his back has already fully healed, not even leaving a scar. Somewhat surprised at the efficiency of the Grade 2 pill, Ye Mo looks at the Inner Core of the Nightmare Panther that is on the ground in front of him. After picking it up, the System sent a message.

[Ding! Host has killed Qi Lo Stage 1 Nightmare Panther. Gained 750 points.]

[Ding! System has detected Qi Lo Stage 1 Inner Core. Does Host want to sell it for 2000 points? Y/N]

"2000 points for just the Inner Core..." Wonders Ye Mo as he stares at the palm sized black orb in his hand. Shaking his head, Ye Mo presses yes and gains another 2750 points to his wallet. Opening his Status, Ye Mo laughs a bit.

"I have over 4000 points now, so I should buy the Mysterious Steps now." Whispers Ye Mo as he brings up the System Shop and purchases the Grade 2 movement skill, Mysterious Steps.

[Ding! Host has purchased Grade 2 Movement Skill, Mysterious Steps for 2000 points. 2045 points remaining.]

After he buys it, Ye Mo felt the proper way to use the skill enter his Soul Space, just like with the other skills he has. Standing up, Ye Mo decides to test the skill. After activating Mysterious Steps, his movements became somewhat blurry, as if he wasn't actually where he was. Ye Mo takes a step forward normally, but appears 4 meters away from his original spot.

A bit surprised, Ye Mo stops the skill and instantly felt a large headache attack him, stunning him for a minute. After the headache disappears, Ye Mo sat down on the ground, panting, before he asks the System what happened.

[Ding! The Grade 2 Movement Skill, Mysterious Steps, uses Mental Energy to activate. As Host has only recently gotten Mental Energy, Host doesn't have much of it refined. Host will be able to use Mysterious Steps twice at most with his Mental Energy, before he faints.]

Now understanding why that happened, Ye Mo mutters about scams for a minute before he stands up and walks to the corpse of the Nightmare Panther, cutting off all of the edible meat and eating it until he is full. Feeling his strength increase decently, he opens his Status again.

"Mysterious Steps is a Rare grade skill, huh. No wonder the Mental Energy it needs exhausts me immensely with just one use." Sighs Ye Mo as he shakes his head. Looking around, Ye Mo decides to strip his robe and bath in the Cleansing Lake beside him.

After leaving the lake and dressing up, Ye Mo notices a large hole in the back of his robe. Twitching his mouth, Ye Mo opens the shop and buys a Grade 4 robe, created from the same type of spider, just of a higher grade for 2000 points, leaving him with 45. Shaking his head, Ye Mo changes his robe and sells the other, torn one, for 500 points.

"At least I got even 500 points for that broken thing." Ye Mo mutters as he closes his eyes and activates Divine Sense, looking around the surroundings to find something. After a few minutes, Ye Mo opens his eyes, and an excited look appears on his face.

Ye Mo runs north for 30 minutes, before he finally stops, looking at a large tree. On the tree, there are countless red and black fruits growing, which is the cause of Ye Mo's excitement.

[Grade 4 Soul Fruit. Consuming this fruit, the consumer's Mental Energy will increase by 10%]

[Grade 3 Soul Fruit. Consuming this fruit, the consumer's Mental Energy will increase by 5%]

[Grade 4 Blood Fruit. Consuming this fruit, the consumer's fleshly body will strengthen by 20%]

Plucking all the fruits off the tree, Ye Mo gained a total of 4 Grade 4 Soul Fruit, 8 Grade 3 Soul Fruit and 6 Grade 4 Blood Fruit. Ye Mo happily stores them within hos storage ring and heads back towards the Cleansing Lake he killed the Nightmare Panther at.

Once there, Ye Mo instantly sits down beside the lake and takes out a Grade 4 Soul Fruit. Eating it completely, Ye Mo closes his eyes and gathers the raw Mental Energy towards his Soul Space, which gets absorbed by a black orb, similar to that of the one within his dantian. After absorbing all of the raw Mental Energy, Ye Mo could instantly feel that his Mental Energy increased immensely.

Ye Mo happily pulls out the other 3 Grade 4 Soul Fruits as well as the 8 Grade 3 Soul Fruit. 8 hours later, Ye Mo's Mental Energy increased by an insane amount, to the point where he can use his Mysterious Steps a total of 15 times now, rather than 2. Laughing, Ye Mo takes out the 6 grade 4 Blood Fruits now.

Eating the first Blood Fruit, Ye Mo feels a large amount of pain assault his body all over, nearly causing his to cry out in pain, Gritting his teeth, Ye Mo disperses the rampant Qi absorbed from the fruit to every part of his body, and watches it strengthen all of his bones, organs, skin and even blood. The pain lasted for 30 minutes, but Ye Mo felt as if it was years.

After the pain disappears, Ye Mo looks at the remaining 5 Blood Fruit on the ground, and grits his teeth before he eats them all as well. For strength, Ye Mo will bear that immense pain he feels from the Blood Fruit.

A day later, Ye Mo finally finished the 5 Blood Fruits that remained. The amount of pain he felt increased constantly with each Blood Fruit eaten, to the point he almost wanted to kill himself, but he ended up gritting his teeth throughout the process.

Now that he has finally finished, the pain slowly stared to fade from his body, allowing him to move once more. The instant Ye Mo is able to move, he strips and jumps straight into the Cleansing Lake, hoping it will help him remove the pain, which it does, slightly.

After soaking in the Cleansing Lake for an hour, all of the pain in his body has disappeared completely. Sighing to himself, Ye Mo leaves the lake and dresses himself. When he was about to sit himself down, Ye Mo suddenly felt a massive amount of danger, and even smelt death near him. Scared crazy, Ye Mo instinctively activates his Darkness attribute, turning himself invisible, and jumping up the largest tree. Once there, Ye Mo could see what gave him that enormous amount of pressure.

Flying high in the sky, was something akin to a Dragon. It was badly injured, with blood and wounds all over it's body, but even the the pressure it gave out to Ye Mo gripped his heart tightly, to the point it almost exploded. Looking at it, Ye Mo decided to analyze it.

[Qi Pa Grade 8 Earth Wyvern. Although it is injured and only has 10% of it's original strength, it can kill Host with a simple breath of it's. RUN FAR AWAY FROM IT! NOW!]

Looking at the description, Ye Mo instantly wanted to run away, but before he could, the Wyvern looked towards the tree he was on and he instantly felt so much pressure he thought he was going to die. Shakily looking up towards the Wyvern, he could see it looking towards him with disdain in it's eyes, before it move it's head away and flew into the distance.

After being shaken for a few minutes, Ye Mo finally manages to calm himself down. Remembering the disdain in the Wyvern's eyes, Ye Mo realizes he really is way too weak to survive in this world. He thought it would be fine for a while, but seeing that Wyvern, Ye Mo instantly realizes this forest is only housing weak beasts, and even then, there are probably a few that can instantly kill him within it.

After realizing that, Ye Mo makes up his mind and sits down within the Cleansing Lake, and starts gathering Qi towards his dantian from all over, which rapidly absorbs the Qi as if it was a starving man seeing food for the first time in years.
