He scans all over the place to look for something special but there are no herbs or something good.
"Sigh... I thought there could be something useful here." Lei Chen was upset he's expecting to get spiritual herbs or fruits but there's none. But when he tried walk out the system ring again.
[ Quest: Find the hidden room created by the sovereign. You will get rewards once you've found it. You only have 1 hour to search. ]
"Great! that's what I'm thinking about! It is impossible no spiritual items that can be found. It seems sovereign has hidden them, hahaha. Lei Chen inspects every something unusual inside.
It's already 30 minutes he is looking for the secret entrance left by the sovereign, but still still can't find it. "Wooh! relax, relax, patience is a virtue." He is trying to calm himself, he knows that if he let his emotions decide for him, then everything will gone.
Lei Chen stop and tried to understand something, the only thing he can see he saw the stalagmite bigger than him and it is located in the center. "This doesn't seem right, it only has one stalagmite and no stalactite was formed. Base on the size of this stalagmite it's been here for over a million years. That's it!" He already found a clue, even though he is not too sure but base on his gut feeling, this is the key to the mystery.
"Ha!" Boom!
He punches the stalagmite by his full might but it did not bulge in. Then he tried to use the Heaven Fist, it did not break out the stalagmite, instead, it spins too fast and activated the mechanism. A hidden door appeared and a voice of an old rang on his ears.
"Congratulations! you've found the secret door. However, that is the first part of the test. The second test is about your power, once you enter the door the formation will be activated and there's no way out unless you've destroyed the formation or kill the boss. Once you've Defeated the two bosses in the formation you will acquire some of my manuals that left behind in this city. Good luck and may you win."
Lei Chen was looking at the open door and having a second thought if he's gonna continue to the next test.
"Ahh! I'm already here, why I'm going back out? I must continue moving forward."
He enters the door and it automatically closed. The first opponent he had is the 15-foot Smasher Ape, with those two big hands of the giant ape once it smashed on you, then you will be crushed finely. Imagine ten tons of weight crushing your body. Luckily, the level of this Gian Ape is only at Class 2.
Beasts cultivation level is divided in to 10, from class 1 - 10. Class 2 level is comparable to Warrior Stage in Human cultivation.
"I don't have enough time I only still have 15 minutes, let's make this quick."
The giant ape was provoke by Lei Chen and it quickly dash towards him and try to flatten Lei Chen by its both hand.
"Heaven Fist!"
BOOM!
A dragon head was formed by Lei Chen's energy and devoured the chest of the giant ape. The giant ape was blown away and leaves a big hole on its body.
The two voice rang immediately after he eliminated the Giant Ape.
[ Congratulations! You've killed Giant Ape you will be rewarded, 250 Exp. and 5 HP. ]
. " Congratulations! you've killed boss of the fist level, you may now proceed to the second level."
The next opponent he has is the 3 tailed tiger which is known for its viciousness and quick movements. "Oh! the stage level raises up to Elite Stage, you may threat to other but no on me, I'm sorry I need to be quick." He rapidly launched an attack to tiger beast but due to its quickness, Lei Chen unable to lock on his Heaven Fist.
"Sh*t this will take time, I guess there is no other way but to do this." Lei Chen did not move and wait for the tiger to leap towards him, then baited his left arm, fortunately, he does have the toughness of the dragon physique, if not then probably his left arm has been lost. But still, it leaves deep wounds on his arm.
"Ouch! That hurts! Luckily my plan did work if not then goodbye my lefty. Now you've been caught, hairy" Lei Chen quickly utilized his Qi at right arm and perform Heaven Fist.
BOOM!
The half part of the tiger was blown away while the other part remains biting his left arm.
[ Congratulations! you've defeated the 3 tailed tiger beast which is above your level. The system will reward you 1,000 Exp. and 60 HP. Note: This is only one time. ]
"Huh? what!? it did not level up? please show me my current Exp."
[ Exp: 1,250/2000]
"I see, I still need more Exp to reach, Warrior Stage 2."
Warrior Stage need to break through Stage 3 to attain Elite Stage.
Again the sovereign voice congratulates Lei Chen again and the hidden door to its legacy has open.
[ Congratulations! you've made it! You are able to finish the quest on time, you will be rewarded 300 Exp. and 10 HP ]
Lei Chen was happy once he enters the doors, he can see manuals on the table made from stone. He bondage first his left arm to prevent blood loss, however, he was disappointed for there are no pills, only manuals, a dagger, and a sword.
When he to take the manual he found a space ring under on it. Even though it's empty this space ring is a big help for him. The price of this space ring in the store varies to its capacity inside, the one he got has a small capacity but still, the price is 100 gold. That's the currency in this city and some various cities as well, 1 gold is the same as 1,000 silvers and 1 silver is equaled to 1,000 bronze.
The manuals are categorized into,
Human-Level ( Low, Mid, and High-Tier)
this is the lowest category.
Deity Level (Low, Mid, and High-Tier)
This is the second in the category but the damage dealt by the technique under on this category is too powerful than Human Level. Also, the manual price will vary as well in its category. But the Low Tier will equal to 150-200 golds.
God-Level. This is a very powerful technique, the city will have an uproar if there is a god-level technique appear in this city. There will also a war would happen just to steal that level, you will be a sovereign if you have at least one God-level technique.
Divine - Level. There is no evidence that this level exists. However, people still believe in the existence of this level. This world is too vast, you don't know what's on the other side.
He was so happy even though it's only 5 manual the level is under on deity level, low and mid-tier. The first book he opens is the Free Wind. A low-tier movement technique, this will boost your agility and move like a wind.
[ Would you want to upgrade Free Wind? it will cost 10 HP ]
"Yes"
[ Free Wind has been upgraded to level 1/4 ]
The second book he opens was the Green Earth Manual. It is a very thick book contains the data of all the herbs and fruit from ordinary to the divine, its characteristics, its use, weakness, and boost its effects.
[ Would you want to copy all the data and imprint it on your memory? This will cost 20 HP. ]
"Yes"
This is big rewards he got! Apothecary is revered in every city. Even you are still an apprentice level, you can swag you butt everywhere.
[ To start the process, you need to read every word to able to imprint. ]
"What!? are you fuc*ing kidding me? I'll have to read this thick book!? is there something to scan?"
[ Not available, Upgrade the system to level 2 to unlock some items and functions. ]
"Oh! so that was it! how many HP I needed to upgrade you?"
[ System needed 500,000 HP to upgrade]
"I'll guess reading books is a good idea"
