System, what pill is this?" Arya asked curiously, looking at another jade bottle.
System."Ding! Nine Star Blood Pill. This pill can increase a cultivator's cultivation level to one to two levels below the Transformation Stage. Will you absorb it, Sir? Yes/No."
"Yes!" Arya answered spontaneously, and instantly, the Blood Pill shattered into energy particles, absorbed by Arya's body the next moment.
System."Ding! Blood Pill absorption begins, 1%…25%…50%…75%…100%
System."Ding! Congratulations, Sir. Experience Points increased by five point zero six. Current Experience Points are five point zero seven."
Arya immediately opened his system profile to see the changes that had occurred to his body.

Arya saw the (+) sign behind the experience points had turned green, and he immediately pressed the (+) once.
System."Ding! Congratulations, Sir. Cultivation has increased by one Level to Ninth Level of Rebirth. Current Experience Points are five point five five."
Looking at his own arms, Arya felt that his body was changing. His blood seemed to be boiling, his muscles were getting stronger with higher endurance than before.

Ronggo Family
The Ronggo Family is Arya's family. The name Ronggo itself is a clan, a family name that is embedded patrilineally.
Ayunda, Arya's mother is currently worried. Her first son who was looking for medicinal plants on the edge of the forest of death, has not returned. The medicinal plants were supposed to be used for his father's internal wounds, who has been lying in bed for three days.
Wahyu Ronggo's cultivation, Gustav's father, is at the sixth level of Qi Refinement Stage. While his wife, Ayunda, Arya's mother. is at the Third Qi Refinement Stage.
"Mother, don't worry! Brother will definitely be back soon." said Dara Ronggo while holding Ayunda's hand, trying to calm her mother's anxiety. Dara Ronggo is Arya's younger sister, a ten-year-old girl.
"How can you not be worried, your brother hasn't returned and it's getting dark." replied Ayunda, her eyes already glassy with irregular breathing.
Ayunda then walked towards the room, where Wahyu Ronggo lay weakly, expressing her concerns. "Father, Arya hasn't returned yet. Didn't Father tell Rimo to check on him?"
"Calm down, ma'am! Arya is already a big boy. He wouldn't have acted rashly in the Forest of Death." Wahyu Ronggo replied to his wife.
"I'll check on him, sir." Rimo replied, who happened to be behind Ayunda.
"Yes, try checking! Arya might be on his way home." Wahyu Ronggo said in a weak voice.
Without delay, Rimo immediately set off for the Forest of Death.
*
The Forest of Death is divided into three areas. Namely the Core Area, the Inner Area and the Outer Area. Each area is divided into several parts, all of which are adjusted according to the level of danger.
The Outer Area of the Forest of Death is divided into three, namely the Outer Outer Area, the Inner Outer Area and the Border Outer Area.
The Outer Outer Outer Area and the Inner Outer Outer Area are areas that are usually used as training places for Ragane City cultivators. In fact, it is not uncommon for outside cultivators to be seen heading to the Outer Outer Area of the Forest of Death.
Rimo is a servant who has worked for the Ronggo family for a long time. Rimo is not only a servant for Wahyu Ronggo, this middle-aged man is also a friend since childhood.
Wahyu Ronggo and his family always treat Rimo like their own brother, including often helping Rimo's small family when they are in trouble.
With Rimo's current cultivation, which is at the Fourth Level of Qi Refinement Stage, it is only about an hour's journey to the Outer Outer Outer Area of the Forest of Death.
About to go further, Rimo saw a group of people on horses, who seemed to have just come out of the Outer Edge of the Forest of Death. The group was from the Dage Family, the party that had previously abused and thrown Arya into the depths of the abyss of the Forest of Death.
"Hey! You are Arya's servant! What are you doing here? Are you looking for Arya?" Raimu Dage asked Rimo with a cynical and belittling look.
"Yes, has Young Master Dage seen Young Master Arya?" Rimo replied politely.
"No need to look for him! Maybe he has been eaten by wild animals, besides, why are you looking for trash." Raimu said while looking away, and immediately spurred his horse without waiting for Rimo to continue or answer his words.
Rimo frowned, staring at the group of Young Master Dage who were leaving with various questions in his head.
Ignoring his own thoughts, Rimo continued to head towards the Outer Edge of the Forest of Death. Three hours of searching, he still had not found Arya.
The Outer Edge area was quite large, covering three kilometers towards the forest. In this area, it is generally inhabited by wild animals that are not too dangerous. So it is often used as a training ground for cultivators of the Birth Stage or Body Formation Stage.
After hesitating for a moment, Rimo continued his search towards the Inner Outskirts of the Forest of Death. This area covers five to six kilometers from the border of the Outer Outskirts area. Cultivators of the Transformation Stage, Qi Refinement Stage, or Spirit Refinement Stage, are the forces that make this area a training ground.
Rimo has been in the Inner Outskirts area of the Forest of Death for five hours, but he has not found Arya. Making him even more worried and thinking about things.
'There is no way Young Master will enter the Border Outskirts area. Given his intelligence, Young Master must be in the Outer Outskirts area on the other side,' Rimo muttered in his heart, rushing back home to the Ronggo family to report the situation.

Forest of Death
Arya was practicing the Heavenly Sword Technique and the Divine Palm Technique inside the rock crevice. His physical condition was also starting to improve steadily second by second.
"System, use the Lucky Draw Coupon!" Arya asked excitedly.
System. "Ding! Using one Lucky Draw Coupon for a prize."
In an instant, a hologram appeared in the form of a round disc in front of Arya's eyes. In the middle of the round disc, there was a pointer as a marker that would determine what kind of prize would be received after the round disc stopped spinning.
There were eight columns on the round disc. Among them, five Blood Pills, Breathing Technique, five pearls of misfortune, and the last was fifty system points. While the other four columns looked empty.
With his mind, Arya spun the Round Disc. His face was very excited, his heart praying for great luck and benefit for him.
System. "Ding! Congratulations, Sir. Please try again."
hearing this, Arya's face which was originally full of expectations immediately froze. The system notification sound was very contradictory, on the one hand saying congratulations, but instead telling him to try again.
Arya immediately used the two remaining lottery coupons. He was very curious whether he would be lucky this time or try again according to the first draw.
System. "Ding! Congratulations, sir. You have obtained the Breathing Technique."
System. "Ding! Breathing Technique is a technique that can hide the presence of breath from others, can hide the Cultivation stage, and can have a perception of the presence of others at a certain distance. Will you learn it? Yes / No."
Arya was very happy with the technique explained by the system. With this technique, at least he could avoid trouble, especially when meeting a stronger enemy. He quickly answered. "Yes!"
System. "Ding! Congratulations. Sir, you have learned the breathing technique. Current level is: 0/10."
Just like before, Arya felt various knowledge flooding his mind which included breathing techniques.
Gustav immediately began to practice the technique. After practicing three times, a system notification sounded in his mind.
System. "Ding! Congratulations, Master. Breathing Technique has leveled up. Current level is 1/10."
Arya got up and stood up, his spirit burning and fiery. He took his sword and headed towards the rock crevice where he entered.
Using the breathing technique, Arya hid his presence. He saw a wolf still standing outside the crevice, the wolf that had chased and frightened him this afternoon.
'Damn it, Wolf! System, analyze this wolf!' Arya grumbled and begged in his heart.
System. "Ding!
Name: Fire Wolf
Race: Beast
Level: 3 (Equivalent to a Body Formation Stage cultivator)."
"Wow, this Wolf is so strong! How can I get out of here?" Arya frowned regretfully, the Wolf was much stronger than him.
'Hmm…. Strength does not produce intelligence, but intelligence produces strength.' Arya thought to himself, strengthening his day with determination.
Raising his sword, Arya shouted the words of his move in his heart. 'First Heavenly Sword Slash.'
Roaring those words, Arya slashed his sword vertically, straight towards the wolf that was outside the rock crevice. And at that moment, a single vertical red light headed towards the Fire Wolf's body.
Surprised to see the red light shooting towards him, the Fire Wolf wanted to dodge but it was too late.
"Bam!" The sound of a sword slash hitting the Fire Wolf's body was heard.
But unfortunately, nothing happened after that. Only leaving a visible sword scratch mark, making Arya's mouth gape wide, seeing what happened in front of him, far from what he expected.
Finding the Fire Wolf's gaze full of hostility towards him, Arya woke up from his dazed thoughts. He immediately returned into the rock crevice while grumbling. "Wow, So Strong! I should go back."
"Huh!" Arya sighed helplessly as soon as he arrived in the small room. Opening the system panel again, he found the last lottery ticket.
System. "Ding! Congratulations, Sir. Sir gets five Nine Star Blood Pills."
A jade bottle containing five Blood Pills appeared in his right palm, Arya immediately poured the entire contents of the bottle into his left palm, "System, absorb all these Blood Pills!"
System. "Ding! Absorption of Blood Pills will begin immediately. 1%….25%….75%…..100%…
System. "Ding! Congratulations, Master. Master has gained ten point five zero experience points. Current experience points are twelve point five.
"System, immediately increase Cultivation according to Experience Points." Arya continued.
System. "Ding! Congratulations, Master. Master's Cultivation has leveled up. Currently at the First Level of Body Building Stage….
System. "Ding! Congratulations, Master. Master's Cultivation has leveled up. Currently at the Second Level of Body Building Stage…
System. "Ding! Congratulations, Master. Cultivation has leveled up. Currently at the Third Level of Body Building Stage…
As the System notification ended, Arya felt his body filled with strength. his skin hardened as hard as stone, his muscles were as tight as steel, similar to the story of the character Gatot Kaca!
If anyone knew that Arya could upgrade five Stages at once in one breath, from the Ninth Level of Birth Stage to the Third Level of Body Formation Stage, they would probably bang their heads against the wall.
Of course, even though the Birth Stage and Body Formation Stage can be done by anyone, the speed achieved by Arya was truly beyond imagination and common sense.
In addition to the wealth of resources and continuous training, it would take at least five years for a Genius. But Arya, in the blink of an eye, he went straight to five levels at once.
Wanting to see the changes that had occurred, Arya immediately opened the Profile on the
system panel.

Arya was quite satisfied with the Panel displayed by the System in front of him. He then continued to practice the Heavenly Sword Technique.
