Knowing well I could not fight against the remaining goblins, I made my retreat.
As I retreated,I brought down the tunnel walls. After a certain distance, the goblins seized their charge,it was as if they were acting on a set agro range.
I did not think much of it, actually I was happy since they would give me a chance to grow my strength.
Back in the outer cave,I was busy tending to the few wounds I had cerstained,as I made a few purchases. I spent four hundred and eighty five kill coins on the remaining resources,and ten thousand kill coins on the Mortal Ranked Breathing Technique,fifty thousand on the Mortal Ranked Refinement Manual,as for the remainder,I saved them up for the Mortal Ranked Body Forging Technique.
With the Mortal Ranked Breathing Technique at hand,I moved to a quiet are and started to go through the wooden tablet the technique was recorded on.
Three days,it took me three days to comprehend the technique, at that time,Mio had lead the batch in improving the camp.
Now every single person had a decent wooden cabin of their own,there was even a granary,a small warehouse,a meat smoking shed,a tannery shed,a communal kitchen and lastly, four communal latrines.
And since there was no cotton to sew clothes,someone had used tree bulks to make clothes,that were much more comfortable as compared to the leather clothes.
After grasping the technique, it only took me a couple of hours to break into the second rank of the origin realm. But that was not enough, since the goblins were not attacking, I decided to cultivate a little bit more.
Four days later,I left my seclusion.
It had been a week since I last battled the goblins. Back then,I was just an ordinary rank one origin realm cultivator. Within a week,I had managed to raise my cultivation to that of a rank six origin realm cultivator, only a step or two from breaking through into rank seven.
The only reason I did not go for that breakthrough was because I felt my cultivation base destabilising. I had to stop as I did not wish for short term benefits to hinder my future growth.
Walking out of my secluded corner,I was met with twenty-five pairs of shocked,amazed and worshipping eyes. It seemed that everyone experienced my four days continuous break through.
And to celebrate it,we had a huge feast.
It seemed that everyone had been busy.
The meal no longer contained of just bread,grain and meat,but also vegetables and fruits.
The now residents of my camp,had gone all out in gathering resources and foodstuffs from the forest.
They had even logged more wood for construction and mined stones for building.
There was a tall wooden fence surrounding the camp.the fence ran from one end of caves mouth to the other,it was narrow at the caves mouth and wider the further it spread.
Actually, the fence took up the shape of a gourd.
Some metres from the caves mouth, a guards shed had been built,to guard against attack from goblins. While at the farthest bottom end of the gourd shaped fence,a wooden gate had been set up. Adjacent to it was a bigger guards shed.
As for the granny and the warehouse, they were built at the centre of the camp. Next were the strategic placed residential cabins,the communal kitchen,the latrines, the smithy and other craft sheds.
A single look at this camp was enough to showcase the skills and expertise of the planner,who I larer came to learn was Mio. With such management skills and eye to detail,he saved me a lot of time,that I could have used micromanaging the camp development. And so during the feast,I bestowed on him the position of assistant lord.
The camp was huge enough to hold a population of close to a hundred without it being cramped.
As it was set on a mountain,the gate was at the lowest point while the caves entrance was at the highest point.
While everyone had a wooden cabin,they had built me a one storey stone house,it had several room,and a basement.
The furniture was scarce and all made of wood,but I still appreciated it all.
I spent the night and day after the feast going through the Mortal Ranked Refinement Manual.
In it were refining techniques for both weapons and pills,spirit battle techniques,spirit Forging techniques,and even a comprehensive guide on how to cultivate spirit energy and creation of personal spirit techniques. There were even techniques for healing. Some could even regenerate broken limbs and revive the dead.
But the furtherci flipped through the manual,the lesser I comprehended the techniques. Forcing me to stick on the dozen or so first pages.
Most of them were just the introductory part.
Spirit Cultivation and Qi Cultivation were two different things. Qi cultivation depended on ones,body, soul power and comprehension,while spirit cultivation depended wholly on ones soul power and will.
And being an old soul in a young man's body,my soul power could be said to be on par with a sixty nine year old man,as that was how old I was before I was murdered.
Actually, my high battle power and talent in qi cultivation was all thanks to my soul power,and not my body. This body I was in was weak,scrawny and malnourished.
Thanks to the breakthroughs,I had attained a little muscle and my compression was better off.
For two weeks,I was locked up in my basement, making an attempt at stepping into the spirit cultivation path.
From the manual,I learnt that if I were to fully compared and grasp the techniques and knowledge on the manual,I would have become a full cloaked Mortal Spirit Master.
Just like qi cultivation,spirit cultivation to had ranks within the realms. There was the apprentice rank,the acolytes rank,the elite rank and finally the master rank. It was only after breaking through the master rank of a particular realm that one could advance to a higher rank.
