Chapter 7: Personal Cleaner
[Achievement unlocked: You have gained 20% access to the system, options like system store, Void summoning, Void transformation and several more are still locked]
[Notice: Interactive feature unlocked]
[System Note: The path of cultivation is a rebellious act against one's own faith, bear in mind that those who step on the road to cultivation either reach splendid heights or face tragic ends]
[Current level: Stage 1 body refining cultivator]
' Yes, Now that's what am taking about!' Lin Mu was happy to see such a series of wonderful notifications.
While the system note had degraded his excitement, He was still happy regarding the other notifications, Especially the one regarding the interactive feature being unlocked.
At least now he would be able to get some helpful answers from the system whenever he asked, Well hopefully anyways.
After having gone through that grueling refining process after taking the Tier 1 low grade pill, His body felt refreshed and invigorated.
" Strange?, Did the system clean up afterwards?" Lin Mu was a bit stunned, He sat up, taking a deep breath, and noticed that his surroundings were spotless, as if the black ooze had never existed.
" That's not important right now.., What's important is that I now have a chance to protect myself, No more shall I be pushed around like some inhuman object" Lin Mu clenched his palms with a newfound sense of determination.
He stood up, ready to face the challenges that lay ahead. Although he knew that his journey as a cultivator had just begun, He was as eager as could be to see just what heights he would be able to achieve.
" Wait a minute, How come it's only 18:05 PM?" Lin Mu felt doubtful when he saw that the time on the clock had only gone an hour past instead of the allotted amount of time he spent in that blood red dessert of a dimension.
' Does that mean that time in the systems dimensions flows differently than in the real world '
[Correct, Approximately 1 day to 1 hour to be exact] the system replied in a timely manner.
' Wow, that's just incredible!' Lin Mu concurred, If what the system said was true then it meant that he wouldn't have to worry about coming up with excuses anytime he entered the system space in other to train since not much time would've passed and no one would be able to tell the difference.
" Hmm well it's currently dark out anyways so I think it's best I just head to bed " Lin Mu yawned, stretching his now toned arms, his shirt lifted up a bit, exposing the chiseled abs underneath, Although he was already fit before, After the pill had taken effect, His body was far more better than before.
Now he had glowing healthy skin that looked smooth and soft like jade yet durable and harder to penetrate, Silky smooth hair, chiseled features which were moving towards the path of an Adonis and his height had increased to 1.78, making him a towering warrior with a striking physique to match amongst his age mates.
" On second thought, I think I'll try leveling up some more" Lin Mu couldn't help but change his mind when thoughts of how stronger he would get began raging through his mind.
As if in line with his thoughts, The systems notifications emerged the next instant.
[Ding!]
[Transportation location finalized]
[Sending Host to Broken star Dimension: 657:886.1]
" Yes, It's the same bloody place!, This time am gonna make sure to turn those damned rats extinct" Lin Mu's laughed maniacally.
Just thinking about those creatures that had once frightened him now being subjugated to his own means strangely made him feel ecstatic.
[Countdown for transportation commencing]

The Next Morning......
" Yawn..., How long did I get to sleep anyways?" Lin Mu yawned while getting out of bed, His mouth exposing his pearly white teeth.
[You've been asleep for over 3 hour's]
" Damn, I really didn't get much sleep last night then, yet I still feel so full of energy " Lin Mu stretched his arms and legs, feeling the newfound strength and agility in his refined body. After going back and forth within the systems dimension or should he say that same broken star red coloured dimension last night, Lin Mu had managed to reach stage 5 of body refining and even acquired his first cultivation technique. He could've gotten more pills to boast his cultivation but he decided to call it a night since it was so late then, moreover his muscles had been aching from exhaustion.
" Yesterday I've only been increasing my strength instead of trying to learn to hone it, With Tianjin Superhuman Academy's entrance exam around the corner, I think it's best I consolidated my skills today, At least try to get used to this body of mine " Lin Mu stared at his fist which he clenched and opened with a worried look.
"Progress is great but I remember grandpa saying something about consolidating ones cultivation in one of the novels he read, The MC's usually have their cultivation regressing if they aren't to careful or over exert themselves before consolidating it."
" To first consolidate my cultivation I think I'll head out for some fresh air, Maybe take a light jog round the neighborhood like usual and visit the gym afterwards " Lin Mu decided, After prepping himself, He couldn't wait to test it out. Slipping on the same worn out pair of sneakers and wearing a black jumpsuit with two thin streak lines on the sides, he headed out for a jog around the block.
_________________________________________
" So refreshing" Lin Mu stood on his front porch and took a deep breath, Unlike before he felt that the air entering his body was suddenly more purer than usual.
' How come it feels so different now?'
[It's because of the hosts newly aquired cultivation skill(Nightshade breathing technique)]
[Note: The technique is divided into both passive and active parts, moreover, the more you practice the active part of this breathing cultivation technique, the easier it'll be for you to sense the power of the Void.]
[Moreover as an added bonus, It also gradually increases your resistance towards certain harmful substances that come in contact with your body]
[Turning them into a weaker form for healthy intake]
