I took the package and opened it. There was a black case in it. It was a beautiful case looks like handmade. As I opened the case. I was shocked to see such a sword. It was Complete Black Sword. The Blade of the Sword is very dark and vibrant.
Multiple beautiful patterns were drawn on the blade. The Sword's handle is very simple. It had a good grip. The sword comes with a beautiful Black Scabbard. Which I found beside the case. As I rubbed on the scabbard. I can feel the texture and amazing artwork is done on it.
As I was looking at the sword. Uncle James interrupted me by saying, " This Sword is type is Jian. Which had measurements of 46-82cm / 20- 34 inches". Hearing that I nodded at him and began to hold the sword.
As I lifted the sword it weighs approximately 250-300 kgs. It is heavier than White Bone. I hope I can manage it well as my cultivation progresses. After that, I placed the sword and scabbard in my storage ring. I asked, "Uncle, Is there any place around the city? Where the concentration of lightning energy is higher."
Hearing that he had a knowing smile. "Looks like you face quite a difficulty in cultivating here." He sighed and added, " The entire outpost had a little amount of world energy. Where the presence of Special elements in the surroundings is considered as none."
"That is why people use special affinity stone here. But the rate of exchange between special affinity stones and normal stones in the alliance is higher. But don't worry, unlike other special elements. Your Special element is a natural attribute."
"For lightning Elements, I believe Mountain Liz is the perfect place. Especially this time of the season. That place had frequent rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms." Hearing that I breathed in relief. When he started explaining I was scared. I was boasting in my heart for having lightning elements.
But what's the point when you can't cultivate. Luckily there is Mt Liz. I asked, "Uncle, Where is that place. Can I go tomorrow?" Hearing that he looked at me and said, " If you want to go. you have to leave now. Mountain Liz is located in a rural area. It's is surrounded by a small forest. Only small-time hunters and herb gatherers go to that place."
Uncle James looked at his watch and said,
" It's six-hour travel. Which is a long journey. It will turn dark when you arrive at that place." Hearing that I replied, " It's fine. I will put up a camp at night. And I will come back home the next day."
Uncle James smiled and said, "Your two days off gone just like that. It is also for good. Now you got the techniques you need. you can practise without any worry there." After some conversation. I had breakfast with Granny and Uncle. I booked my train to Mountain Liz. There is only one train that passes via Mountain Liz to some other distant city.
Mountain Liz is exactly not a tourist place. It's still under the habitual zone of humans. There are very rare occurrences of Class monster intrusion that were recorded. So, I don't have to worry about that. I began to prepare for my journey. This is my first solo trip ever.
There is some sort of excitement and fear. Started to well up in my chest. I can already feel my adrenaline rush. After packing up some necessary items for camping. I also took some canned food and snacks. At first, I wanted to eat outside. I believe there are some street shops opened at Mountain Liz station.
But I don't want to take any chances. I looked at my Military Grade Scifi Watch. There are still two or more hours left. I decided to take another shower. After some quick bath. I left the shower. And started dressing up. I always had an extra set of clothing for emergencies.
So I decided to take it to the camp. Though there is no place for a bath. I started to wear my favourite Red T-shirt. Full Sleeve Black Jacket on top of it. With matching Black cargo pants and Red fingerless gloves. I always avoid wearing my black mask. when I joined the centre.
After knowing everything. I decided not to who knows people might target me in future. I put the mask in my storage ring by thinking that. I will wear it once I arrived at the Mountain. Then I laid lazily on my couch patiently waiting for some time to pass.
My Alarm buzzed indicating there is still an hour and a half left. I got up and took my things said bye to Uncle and Granny. Before arriving at the station. I waited for the train. Some times later the train arrived. I boarded the train. I found that there is no one boarded the train beside me.
I let go of these things and took my seat. I began to observe the surroundings. I don't want to take a small nap like I usually do. Then the train took off to Mountain Liz.
After six hours of travel. The train arrived at Mountain Liz Station. I took my things and exit the train. I looked at the sky. It is turning dark. I browsed my watch for a map of this region. I found out the route to Mountain Liz.
I began to quicken my pace. This is place is deserted. No one is here. Besides some small shops. There is no flying cab here. I have to follow the route by walking myself. After walking some distance. I can see the lush green forest.
I turned on the flashlight. And began my journey towards the mountain. After clearing some paths the mountain view was seen. I started to set up camp at foot of the mountain. It's safe to start now before the rain starts to pours down.
After setting up the camp. I went inside placed my meditate map on the ground. And start to cultivate. As I began to cultivate. My Totem starts to attract energy from the surroundings. I can feel more dense lightning energy starts to enter my pores. I channelled all the energies through my vein.
And the violet energised gather one by one at the base of my totem. Once I level up I can increase the size of the dantian and collect more energy. I plan to cultivate for an hour and then practise my reckoning circle.
Sometimes later. After collecting enough lightning energy. I can feel the time of cultivation got shorter. I want to continue but I noticed the thundering sound from the sky. It's going to rain. If I cultivate in a place like this for next year.
I can easily breakthrough and level up to the Mid-level. Now, I can feel the presence of a certain barrier like a limit. looks like I need to come here again more often. I sighed Then I focused on my defensive rune. My mind is now at the conscious sphere looking at the circle rune.
The three runes are now being silent, not flickering like usual. They only flicker during my cultivation. Let's see what happen to the circle rune. I began to follow the tutorial information in my mind. The circle rune starts to react.
I can feel the thin layer of lightning circle forms around me. At first, the concentration of lightning energy is thin. But as time went on I can feel the circle around me become denser.
I began to notice but suddenly the circle breaks down. A tiny loss of concentration by me breaks the whole circle. I sighed but was not disappointed. I began to try again. Sometimes later I got little success.
I can maintain the form of a lightning circle around me as long as the energy is thin. But I know people can easily break my defence if the circle is thin. I looked at the watch. it's been already four hours. Since setting up the camp.
I'm hungry right now. I ate a few canned foods and snacks. I learn some info about special vegan food from Granny Park. These were not normal food. she told me that certain plants in our world benefit Warrior like us. But they grow in harsh and forbidden lands.
After I got enough power. I want to explore our world on my own. Like this Solo trip. The exploration of the forbidden zone would be something. As I was thinking about that suddenly my watch buzzed indicating that I have an intruder.
I took out my White bone. which is very easy to handle. I went outside of the tent to look for our guest. I was greeted by something rather annoying. "These were pseudo monsters" I mumbled by noticing the duo of Mosquitoes.
These two flying pseudo monsters were exactly something that I am looking for. I plan to test my Reckoning Circle on them. looking at the size they are comparable to adult humans.
