Looking at their understanding expression, Xian Yu smiled and continued his explanation,
"After 4 days, we will be going on a mission, I am not sure how long will it take. I am also not sure what will happen but I can assure that this will be very dangerous and I am not sure if any of us will be able to survive that."
Listening to this both Aron and Min Shi got butterflies in their stomach, they felt that currently they were very weak, even a normal mission to hunt the E or F level beasts in the outskirts of city would be dangerous to them and from what Xian Yu was saying this mission was way more dangerous than that.
Min Shi was the first one to ask "Can we reject it?". Aron did not said anything but was just waiting for the answer.
Xian Yu waited for few sec for system to respond to this.
[Host, Cultivation is a treacherous path, If someone does not have a strong will then they do not deserve this. If they reject it then they won't be your disciples and you will not be able to impart cultivation to them.]
Xian Yu expected this as this system won't give anyone free without asking something in return.
"What if I reject?" Xian Yu asked curiously.
[System is close to Host, so if Host rejects he will suffer the basic penalty of death ;|]
Xian Yu really likes the system with less knowledge, this one speaks too much.
Xian Yu communicated the same with them that they won't be his disciples after that.
Min Shi and Aron expected this that nothing is free and they will have to work hard but living without cultivation is worst then death to them. Although she they are already at stage 1, they can live their life as E rank hunter but they want to live more than as a cannon fodder.
"Cool, so the first task I am giving you is to breakthrough to second stage in 2 days before the age of ceremony. Aron I want you to help Min Shi with the monster meat to make sure she have enough supplies." Seeing as Min Shi wanted to reject it, I raised my hand to stop her.
"I know what you are thinking but we need all the strength we need for this mission so just focus on growing stronger"
Aron also felt the same thing that she cannot become the burden but he didn't knew that with the help of the meat she will soon go ahead of him and he will be the burden.
After finishing all the food on the table, Xian Yu took them to hunter pavilion. Hunter pavilion was the place where each hunter is needed to register himself and he can also buy medicinal pill and weapons which can be used to hunt monsters.
After their breakthrough, each of them were E rank hunter, after confirming their strength in hunter pavilion, they got their hunter card. E rank was very common in hunter pavilion so they did not attracted any attention but there was one person who noticed them, It was professor Miao, she was so shocked that even though she was B rank hunter with strong mental strength, she was still not able to accept it.
Reason being that In age of ceremony a special crystal is used which extracts whatever mana a person has deep inside them, Without the crystal It is almost impossible to do that. This crystal was also very rare and expensive which made her wonder how did all these people awaken at the same time.
After getting the card, Xian Yu wanted to but the weapon for each of them to be prepared for whatever was coming in azure world. they directly went on 11th floor which stores D rank weapon and below. These were special weapons made from ancient materials and monster bones with each having different properties, But you also need the respective strength to use those weapon. If an E rank hunter will try to use A rank weapon then his mana container would crack not being able to support it.
Xian Yu was curious that even though he was E rank hunter, he did not have a mana container so will he be able to use it or not.
[Host can use any weapons but will not be able to use their special properties before reaching Qi refining realms]
Normally hunters uses their mana to strengthen the weapon before attacking and based on the weapon properties it is decided how much maximum mana it can use to strengthen itself.
"Ohh so in this case it is very disadvantageous to cultivators since i will be weaker than a hunter with same strength having a weapon" Xian Yu asked the system.
[Not necessarily, Since you are not using mana but just the natural strength of your bodies after removing impurities, You will be able to fight longer since hunter mana will deplete with time, making them weaker than you.]
This made Xian Yu happy, after all this weakness was only present in body tempering stage after I reach Qi tempering, I will be able to do what hunters can do.
All of them were looking around when Xian Yu stopped in front of dual dagger, those daggers look very old but there was a phoenix drawn on one of them and a white dragon on another which still looked new and alive, when looking at it Xian Yu felt a small connection, his instincts were telling him to buy it.
Xian Yu bought dual daggers, Min Shi bought bow and arrows and Aron bought a sword. Aron always felt that the main character should always have a sword and his father was also a swords man so he loved swords from a long time. All of them were D rank weapon, Xian Yu already explained to them that it won't affect them since they don't have a mana heart but it would be useful later on.
"So disciple, this will be your first gift to your master, right?" asked Xian while laughing to Aron
"yes master, I am very happy to be of some support of you" Aron chucked but he was happy since he didn't like to owe favours and if he can help with money then that really makes him happy because he was sure, in few months they will be earning much more than this so he can empty his father's wealth without giving much though.
