Ya know, for a divine species... those Koos tasted worse than some regular chicken.
^ true that ^
[ yup ]
{ we're all in agreement }
\*******\
I was just talking to myself trying to distract my brain from this unending hunger. I ate the Koos down to their bones.. I ate their feathers, brains , even their sh*t filled guts. I couldn't stop myself.
I was on autopilot again.
Am I still.... myself anymore?
I'd better not worry myself over something so insignificant. I'm a cultivator now, I can become an immortal being with my own pocket dimension... I could even rule over a realm.
^ make sure you have lots of flowers in your realm pls^
{ I'd just want a pool }
[ a tennis court might be nice ]
Who am I kidding... I'm literally thousands of years away from even having my own dimensional space. I might not even make it till then. Well what ever, I'd better go down to the alchemy store and try to get a hold of all their waste products now. I found some money laying around so I plan to use it up to cultivate ( 370 silver teals and 2 gold teals). As long as I find a relatively safe space to sleep... I don't need a house. If I get hungry I could always just hunt some low lvl beasts. Uncle did that often and he wasn't even that strong a guard.
But again, I must increase my cultivation. If I'm gunna go around town, I'll need a disguise. Before I could even get up I noticed something weird. The bones of the Koos had fuzzy bluish mold growing on it. After a while the bones started decomposing. Eventually the bones all turned into dust.
My body got a little warm. Cultivation... now?!
/*€¥•¥£%%#/
Huh?!
Ahhhh.
I fall back and feel the insides of my bones burn. Huh...?
^ it's done ^
{ get better mats next time k }
What??
I get up and notice that the leather straps for the arm and leg guards snapped off.
The only thing that was left was the chest guard. I couldn't recognized my body anymore. My arms looked like the ones I used to have in my dreams. The ones where I was a martial artist just training.
Well.... I lost some gear but that's okay. As long as I make a real breakthrough today I'll be able to rest easy. After eating those Koos I feel this weird pressure in my body. Even after all the energy stopped moving inside me, I feel stuck. I'm just a step away from entering the Mortal practitioner realm I just know it. This realm is when I can circulate my internal energies at will depending on my skill lvl. That will be a good thing because then I'll know what cultivation route I'll have to take based on my internal energy. Hope it's something normal and easy to deal with. I've heard rumors of people in the past who were born with cultivation types where they had to eats dirt and rocks to get stronger.. or hurt themselves on purpose. Or people born with bodies specifically designed for dual cultivation.... with animals, * shudders *
Welp ,time to get going. My body won't cultivate on its own now will it.

" hey, you know that dude?"
" no , he smells awful"

Must have a high understanding of universal law to cross the dimensional barrier.
Most realms have 10 stages
Only a couple have 5 where the difference between them is that between a drop of water and the sun. And only divine realm and above are their own respective realms. Beyond that I've no clue. Don't remember.
Me... I'm still just a mortal. Like I said,
I'm about to buy waste products so I can cultivate and go up some realms hopefully.
I still don't know why this cultivation method is this effective for me. Usual waste products are just that, they don't work or have a negative effect.
" watcha buying?"
She said that with just, the cutest face.
"I'd like to see your waste products please"
She looks at me with a warry face.
" why's you want that??"
" for cultivation "
" you poor thing"
Huh?
" you must be dirt broke ain't ya"
^ do silver teals now constitute as broke ^
{ dumb blond }
[ that's a double negative ]
" I'd appreciate if you could just give me one silver worth of waste as quickly as possible"
" oh I get it, your cultivation can actually benefit from waste huh... that's weird. I've only heard stories of that hehe"
" can I get my stuff please I'm in a hurry "
" sure thing pal"
She came back a few minutes later with two huge boxes.
" the bottom one contains 12 marrow washing pills, 2 full body strengthening pills, 3 mind strengthening elixirs, 1 spirit cleanser pill"
" huh?!"
" oh sorry I mean their all corrupted or waste pills so....."
" the bottom one contains 12 marrow hardening pills, 2 coma pills, 3 night terror inducing potions, 1 spiritual discord pill"
" ahh, that's sounds right "
" the top one is just a liquid container which has 2 gallons of the gunk we clean out of the alchemy furnaces"
" I'll trust this is what I paid for... thank you for your business"
" same here "
I turn to leave and As I reach the door..
" come buy more stuff soon "
^ will do ^
< I changed my mind, she's a cutie >
I make it back home and get ready.
I've never once thought I'd be a real life cultivator, so I won't mess this up.
I don't know much about my spirit or how to cultivate my inner realms and shit like that. But hopefully I'll figure it out.
I grab all 12 marrow pills and grind them up into a powder. I divide it evenly into 3 portions. Then I put in the coma pills and terror potion. Followed by the discord pill.
I put all of this powered into three even portions of the furnace waste, added water and some chime, then mixed well.
Oh my lord.... this smells....
Like crystal clean water coming straight from a mountain top. Man, I've turned into a real freak. I gulp down the first glass and feel all my thirst go away. This refreshing feeling was followed by a burning tongue, muscle cramps every where, and sleep paralysis.
I woke when it was morning.
And I was a little taller. My muscles though seemed to have shrunk a little.
Did I over load my body and get weaker?!
Nope. That isn't it... I finally unlocked the most important skill of my existence. My internal mental realm. This is the mental representation of my physical power. In here, I'm god. The first thing I did is that which I'm sure everyone does. I imagined up a mansion followed by a gorgeous vista. I though up all sorts of stuff. As I was running into my new house It all evaporated in front of my very eyes. The space returned back to its default black void form.
- insufficient mental strength-
- lack of spiritual power-
The hell...
I've heard that most people gain an internal voice after they gain this power but... I've never heard of someone getting pop-ups.
I dismissed both screens and notice a faint light in my mental space. I try to get closer to it but I go numb. I can't move any closer. Is this fear.... but this is my mental space and I'm pretty sure nothing else is in here, Right?!
I quickly leave my mental space.
Well, I still have two more portions so... a day and a half should be enough to get through this.
It is now 3 o clock in the afternoon and a Saturday. I've official reached the 3rd lvl of the.... wait what?
