Alex was puzzled when he heard that the Saint Rat needed his help, because he was already dead, what would such a high personage need his help for? But Alex nodded and continued listening.
"It is not a big matter, I need you to repair this heritage place for me. This place already exists since a few millions of years and countless people found their way, but nobody could ever pass my test. You are the first one that enters this place without dying from a little trap outside or being wounded seriously and then dying here." the Saint Rat seriously.
"And?" Asked Alex.
"In this millions of years, the formtation in charge to supply the heavenly energy to this place can only operate to 50% of its capacity and I need you to repair it for me." Continued the Saint Rat and then said: "When the reparation its done, I will gift you my techniques and knowledge."
Alex thought for a moment and said: "No, thank you."
"Why?" Asked the Saint Rat quickly and a little desperation could be seen in his face.
"If I accept your techniques and knowledge, then I would be considered your heir and I do not want to become an heir."
"No, no, no, do not worry. I will exchange my techniques for the reparation of the formation. You are also too strong to be an heir, you are at the same level as I or even higher. I am not that shameless." The Saint Rat said quickly and explained, then he took a few orbs from somewhere and passed them to Alex.
"This are the my accumulation of techniques, this is the only payment I can offer you. My bloodline or my soul power is useless to you, so I will reserve them for a true heir." The Saint Rat said after a moment.
Alex accepted the orbs, then he began to inspect them slowly. When he poured a little bit of QI inside the orbs, a wave of knowledge entered his head in an instant and now his head was full with new knowledge that he had no idea about before.
The saint Rat observed this and thought: "If any normal human absorbed so much knowledge in an instant, then their heads would turn to pulp. Not even an heir would have got all this orbs, but he is the only one that can save this place."
"Alright, I will repair the formation." Alex said and then began to walk deep inside the green hill in the front and then when he saw a huge stone on top of the hill, he walked there and put his hand on the stone.
He closed his eyes and then he was surrounded by all types of runes and golden light. He looked very magical.
The formation itself was not broken, but the old engraved runes were losing its power because of the constant use. The runes were very age-worn and needed a new runes to be engraved to work normally again for a few millions of years.
"Should I engrave it with more power than before?" Asked Alex suddenly.
The spirit of the Saint Rat heard this and said: "Of course, more power more live for me."
The new acquired knowledge was very vast and there was also a part about runes and engraving runes in it. Alex head was like a supercomputer and could quickly understand all this knowledge in a short time. So, because he was thankful, he gave this formation more power.
"Ok, it is done." Alex said this and the formation glowed in a golden light and then in a red light. In the next moment, a huge amount of pure QI entered the heritage place and every corner was filled with new pure QI. It even began to condense in a gas, which was incredible and normally could not be done artificially.
"What is this human? Since when did such a powerful human being exists? The formation here was already the best, but he even upgraded it and made it twice stronger." The Saint Rat thought and then began to float above the formation and inspected it from all sides.
What the Saint Rat did not know was that all this was only improvised by Alex and he only used the knowledge that the Saint Rat gave him. And something more important was that in the time that the Saint Rat was dead, the cultivation technology also developed much further and what he call the best, is now very common. Of course, thanks to the complexity of this formation, it could endure a lot more and the QI was purer
"Thank you for your help, if this had continued like this, then om a few years, I would really perish without a suitable heir." The Saint Rat said and bowed to Alex in respect and gratefulness.
"I learned a lot today, so it was a good trip for me. And I am thankful for your orbs too." Alex said in gratefulness too. He was really happy about what he had harvested today. In this few weeks that he had spent in this world was better than the 50 years on earth. "I am living the cultivator dream!" Alex thought.
"I have to go now, I have to explore this planet and a lot more, so I cannot spend my whole time here." Alex said and then wanted to go.
"Wait a moment, I am not sure if you will ever use it, but please take this!" The Saint Rat said and then gave Alex a small tube. It was not longer than a finger and it contained only a blue liquid.
"This is my bloodline, I know you do not need it, but please accept it. I think you will achieve big things." The Saint Rat said and then disappeared from the place.
Alex had no opportunity to refuse.
