A couple day after my meeting with Sofia i decided for the first time to exit the city, looking for someplace to finally get some battle experience the one of the two thing which i am missing.
The second that i miss is obviously my cultivation, i actually really thought about joining a sect but no recruitment was done at this time of the year and i'm not really into that idea anyway.
After some exploration, i found the classic beginner forest filled with low cultivation beast it is called blue jade forest and is a few hours from the city the travel was actually a bit lively because the road was really full of people which made it a lot safe.
Finally after some hours of walking, Jule finally arrived to the famous blue jade forest.
Talking with some of the hunters nearby the most common beast here were the Scorpion tailed eagle and their arch nemesis the grey scale bulls.
Other creature more powerful than those two can be found deeper but for the most part the qi gathering creature were one of the two, and actually in this world after a creature broke through a big stage it will ascend to a superior species based on it bloodline, so Some Manticore Eagle and Iron armored Bull could be found in some rare occasion.
After readying himself mentally and finally entered the forest....
*********************************************************************************************************
*Fifteen day after*
A huge grey scale bull was feasting on the corps of a fallen eagle, eating it flesh and absorbing the pebble like core of the creature. At some distance stood Jule wearing nothing but his black stylish pant who are slightly tattered, leaving his slightly muscular chest naked.
Without any warning a spiral appear just on top of the the bull crashing from the kamui is a huge boulder, not seeing it coming the boulder fall heavily on the feasting bull who growl in anger and pain, the boulder slide from the bull back and crash on the eagle lefts crashing the remaining of the core.
Seeing this the bull double his anger, smoke fuming from his nostrils as he try to spot his enemy.
Teleporting just beside him Jule appear suddenly kicking the bull neck with a powerful swipe of his leg, a crashing contact was made between his leg and the bull neck, a huge crashing sound resonate as the bull cry his last grief and finally drop on the ground.
Taking a little knife, jule proceed to take out the bull corpse before just taking it to his dimension.
'Fuu hard journey, so let's see... i have 14 Qi gathering core of bulls and 2 of those damn eagles'
'They should fetch a good price maybe two or three Gold marks for each..'
After his fighting experience Jule learned that he could only use the most basic form of susano and that for a short time, with his day to day fighting and cultivation he finally achieved the first Foundation building stage.

Yeah i actually jumped from the level 1 to the level 3 and no idea what it mean i sense no difference.. and this is the response i actually received from the system.
'* Host the level is actually the system level, in fact the system leech of energy of all the creature you kill thus gaining more energy as you kill beast and cultivator. At some level the system will reward you with prize and treasure*'
Exhausted by the the daily fighting Jule walk out the forest moving again toward blue stone city.
'I learned a lot from this trip, my armor doesn't seem to work for now and is in sleep mode whatever that mean'
Walking toward the city, his whole demeanor seems now different to before, his previous scholar look were now absent and Jule looked more like a ruthless fighter.
finally arriving to the city, Jule walked in going through an identification check from the two guard guarding the entrance and finally decided to move toward the closest beast core shop.
A huge building build entirely from black stone stood in the corner of the market place, two ferocious guard standing at it entrance, slowly walkin in, Jule was surprised to see a huge hall with more than a dozen of people talking with clerks wearing a black tunique.
Jule started to move out though the hall and saw that a lot of cores were actually for sell and were put on displays, the bigger a core was the stronger the creature for instance a qi gathering creature would have a pebble like core, and a foundation one had a golf ball like form.
Most of the cores were priced like this : Qi gathering core were sold for one to three Gold marks, whereas foundation cores were sold for 150 gold marks or more, the big price difference is that qi gathering core can only be used as a nourishment for tamed beast, foundation core in the other hand can be used for weapon making, pill making and even being used for cultivation by human practitioner.
