With each passing day I feel that the speed of my cultivation is getting slower, each passing day I train, study and strengthen every aspect of my body, but no matter how much I improve I feel I am advancing each day more. slowly to the limit of my black core.
It is natural that this happens the closer to the limit of a level the more the speed decreases, it will be the opposite after advancing to the next level in the initial stage of the gray core my speed will shoot up again, even if it is still lower than what I experienced in the initial stage of the black core is still several times faster than my current speed.
Just imagining how slow the speed of the final stages that I hope to have in the future will be, the stronger the core takes the longer and maximize it if I take my current speed and estimate it will take at least a whole year to reach the peak. maximum when I have a gray core and for a green core it will probably be more than two years maybe even more than three, and of course that time estimate will only be reality if I don't find even a bottleneck in my cultivation.
They usually appear when some failure in cultivation or a lack of understanding in the ability to control the aura or mana, usually bottlenecks during cultivation after evolving the black core to gray, but the best way to prevent cultivation from stagnating is strengthen both your body and core in equal proportions.
I already feel frustrated with my current situation and just thinking about the future I get bored and even more frustrated than I already am I have to think of a better way to cultivate than the current one, it doesn't practice spending so much time at the levels that are considered initial and disheartening.
I know I have to find a more efficient way to cultivate, but the problem is how to do it, I don't even have a clue how to get stronger faster. There are so many wrong ways to aid or improve the speed of growing on the market or in history book records that it's hard to find anything useful in them usually their negative effects far outweigh any advantage they provide and I'm not going to use either of those methods that will harm me more than help.
I even thought I could try to improve them, but I haven't had a breakthrough in that as I can't test even one of my ideas. I'm not an idiot to test on min and test on others and something I can't do so I decided not to waste my time with these studies now and better focus on improving my current methods.
They consist of using healing herbs with strengthening properties to strengthen my body after physical training this saves me from using my aura to strengthen my body so I can focus my aura to strengthen the outer layer of my core, and the herbal bath allows my body assimilate my elemental energy better. And train in an environment with a higher quantity and quality of elemental energy and mana than normal.
But even though I spend dozens of gold coins a day to slightly improve my cultivation I still can't speed up my cultivation speed without investing more money to buy better quality materials and products containing the element of life.
More fortunately I am finally regaining my freedom and can go back to doing guild quests to get more money to spend. The Chartreux family was finally destroyed During this week I heard several rumors from Erick about what was going on with the Chartreux family, but as it was gossip from unreliable sources, I had to wait to hear from Torris or Hilda a more reliable account.
Torris told me yesterday about the fall of the Chartreux family which by the way was taking a long time, months have passed since the guild decided to act the reason for this because he hears several negotiations between the guild, the military unit of the city and some noble families on how it would be the division of the properties and poses of the Chartreux family.
Only after everyone was happy or simply accepted their share of the spoils did the guild and the royal army make their move against the Chartreux family which I dislike in a few hours after the operation started. Last week several members of the Chartreux family tried to escape only to be captured by the noble families and the guild.
Torris told me that Professor Frey and two of his colleagues were commissioned to create several rune matrices around the Chartreux family estates to serve both as a detection of anyone trying to flee and as a barrier during the attack on the Chartreux family.
Hear a few survivors of the Chartreux family most were killed, even those who were not directly involved in the family's illegal business ended up being killed, those who survived were only spared to be used in the execution that will take place in the capital as they were accused of helping the bandits who enslaved the citizens of the kingdom and needed a spectacle in the capital so the family patriarch who had his tongue and hands cut off and a few other members of the Chartreux family will be transported to the capital.
The execution will be simple and made to appease the royal family. With the demise of the Chartreux family the chance of me being the target of assassins again greatly diminishes as those who might have wanted to kill me simply to break their anger or use me as an example not to act against the Chartreux family are dead.
I believe that I will not be targeted by assassins when I leave the institute and so I believe I can go back to doing missions and maybe even enter the dungeon with my companions, even if it is risky to enter before some of us advance to the gray core, I believe that we can go through the dungeon without much risk of dying, taking a chance on a bigger challenge can have the effect of helping improve the speed of our cultivation.
But when I went to do some E Rank quests in the guild, I found myself with a little setback the quests tend to be far from the city and planned to be accepted by groups of at least three people.
So, I will have to see someone to go with me as going alone is very dangerous and I will spend a few days doing each one, maybe I can do more than one at the same time like collecting some specific herb and killing some magical animals in the same region.
It took me a few hours to find some viable quests to do and after writing them down I just need to get two helpers to accompany me and unfortunately share the rewards. I'll also have to go after renting a good mount so I don't waste a lot of time traveling, there are actually several things I have to prepare before accepting Rank E missions, frustrating that there's no hunting ground near the city.
When I went back to the institute, I remembered something. The institute of tasks is just like the guild, but the difference is that they can be done right here as the emerald forest is a much richer hunting ground than the small woods outside the city.
I spend the rest of the day comparing the guild quests I'd jotted down with the quests available to me at the institute and doing the comparison to find the most viable money-making plan so I can increase my actual spending without too much of a strain on my cultivation time.
I checked the conclusion that it is more profitable to do the institute missions I can use the points earned from the missions to exchange for the resources I need and spend less time between missions the only two negative points and that I can only use the points at the institute itself end doing these quests will not help raise my guild rank.
With my limited options I choose to do some simple quests for me like harvesting resources in the innermost part of the Emerald Forest, when I looked at the quest information, I found that the pass won't be as smooth as it was in the period after the tests. forest I'm already recovering from the last test and it liquefies that not only will I find more resources, but I'll be the target of more magical animals and even magical beasts.
The emerald forest at this time of year is in the growth stage that will last another two months, when the forest reaches its peak of activity even level three magical animals will be present in the forest and during that time the forest will be used as a field for the institute's third- to fifth-year students.
Only after these violent months does the forest hibernate to be used as a survival test for students entering the institute early next year. It's really interesting how the institute controls the forest ecosystem to use them to train students.
This information has an interesting meaning for me, I found that I have a limited time to do the forest missions this year and next year I will have to plan well in order to take advantage of the forest's resources. The rest of my day I spent planning how I best spend my time to maximize my earnings and doing my daily training.
