I entered the palace's cultivation hall and cultivated for a while, consolidating my foundation, I just needed to calm my Qi and make it stable and solid.
Which only took a few minutes.
I sighed deeply.
"Good…now I only have one realm left for me to reach the pinnacle of Qi condensation and I will soon be able to reach the foundation foundation."
I smiled happily, it felt good to be able to catch up with my brothers and become stronger. both so that I can protect them, and so that I can be able to protect myself.
Regardless, I want to test a few more things.
I moved my right hand and my Qi came out as a dark energy of the element of darkness, moving flexibly and appearing denser and more dangerous.
Then I retracted it and this time I moved my Qi relating the element of water.
A whip of water appeared, appearing a stronger dark blue color and a cold temperature.
And I took it out and reflected a little...
"It seems like it's really true…"
Something that is known by some is that depending on the taming technique and the contract, the elements of the beasts you tame will have an influence on the tamer, even facilitating the mastery of the related Dao. That's why my understanding of darkness and power seems stronger, and my understanding of water seems stronger and even with traces of cold as if it opens the way to the Dao of ice and snow.
"Well…given my almost lack of limit in taming and with these bonuses I should definitely look for other useful tames in the future…" I whispered thoughtfully and left the room stretching my body, of course before I stopped in the room and took a hot shower and then put it on. a warm and charming red cloak and quite comfortable.
"Umbra, Yule Arte, will anyone come out if they come with me?"
I spoke loudly outside the palace as everyone could hear me given the connection and I sent the message there, speaking loudly outside the palace was more out of habit.
And the 3 appeared in front of me with Umbra and Yule appearing happy.
'We want master!'
They both spoke happily and quickly as they rubbed themselves against my feet.
I touched both of their heads and placed light kisses on their heads.
"Of course, you can come then."
And I came next to Art and took him in my arm, giving him a light kiss on his forehead.
"Art, can you stay here? Of course, you can always use our soul connection to see and talk to me or the new brothers, okay?"
He rubbed his cheeks against me and responded with a cute, cute smile on his face.
"Master, don't worry, I will take care of the herbs, fruits and plants that I like so don't worry."
"It's okay, you can always communicate with us."
"Okay, master"
Then he looked at the others and somehow they seemed to communicate with their looks.
'Take care and protect the master'
'Understood'
'Clear'
I was curious to know what it was, but I didn't ask them specifically and left the space.
….
Out of space Yule was on my shoulders with her fluffy bluish white fur. And Umbra in my arms.
And we continued to go deeper into the cave, luckily we didn't encounter any monsters but I collected some of the light and fire elemental crystals on the way that could be useful for cultivating and increasing the understanding of the elements later.
Art also said that he will help "cultivate" them in a part of the dimension.
Outside the cave we return to the usual forest…
'Master, do you need something?'
'What I need…'
I gave them the name of the herb and the description.
It was an ice element herb, since I managed to buy the fire element and already planted it inside the dimension, I need it, some other ingredients and this special ice herb, to create the rebirth pill.
I have to give it to my grandparents and brothers, plus I'm thinking about selling some at the auction house to raise money, the recipe itself isn't something that's available where I live so it's something that will certainly pay off in addition to creating a bit of chaos. which could be fun hehehe…
And when I spoke about her, Yule responded, seeming to remember something.
'I saw a master, but…she was protected by an 8th realm beast at the time and was well hidden…'
"Serious?"
I touched Yule's fur and asked.
I know that this pill has already been found in the forest from the records, but it is very rare and even if found, it will hardly be sold and if it is, it will be extremely high.
"Almost sure master"
"Good, take me then."
….
We walked a reasonably long way for 25 to 30 minutes, and following Yule's instructions.
And we found the place he indicated, it was a small hidden water hole and in the middle of it there was a plant looking like an icy blue lily with shades of snow underneath and inside that lake, what looked like a lizard swimming, it was lying relaxed.
He had what looked like spikes on his back with a dark bluish and white color as if to represent ice and water. With fangs sharp like ice spikes, he was lying down seeming to take advantage of the ice element of the herb to increase his understanding.
The Herb didn't look old, but it didn't look young either, it must be close to 100 years old if I could tell.
"The only problem is the foundation.. and your skin.." I whispered as I looked at him.
In fact, he is still in Qi condensation, but he is already in the 9th realm and there seems to be little left to reach the foundation of the base... and being a lizard, naturally his skin will be more resistant and difficult to penetrate...
Luckily the cultivation realms between us are still of low level... if it were very high it would be difficult to overcome the difference, but the qualitative change is still not very relevant, especially with my stronger soul given the professions and the artifact, and with my technique with a denser, more powerful, and greater Qi makes it even less relevant.
Of course it is better to prevent and plan a good strategy…
And that's why I planned and talked to my partners...
