Okay, that labored out completely,” I believed to myself as I flipped the token that the child Zaifeng gave me like a coin.

“This could turn out to be useful later, however for now, it is best I do not use it until I have to.”

I moved to the boar king’s carcass and positioned my hand on it. As soon as once more there was that inexperienced vitality coursing across the carcass of the boar. It got here dashing via my arm, climbing and penetrating deep throughout the pores and skin. It bore via and made its option to my meridians, then the vitality started spiraling in managed spins, aiding my cultivation.

A few of the soreness of my physique disappeared. The ache on my leg had fully dispersed. And now I used to be in a position to stroll with utter ease. My again now not pained me, and for the primary time in eighty years, I used to be in a position to stroll in a straight method.

Previous age gave me a barely hunched again, however now it was gone. Nonetheless, the disgusting tumors and pustules on my physique have been nonetheless on, and to eliminate them I am going to want to reap extra of this inexperienced vitality.

I continued strolling randomly, as I thought of my subsequent plan of action.

I am unable to be a part of a sect proper now even when I miraculously discover a means to take action. Just because I’m not robust sufficient nor weak sufficient.

An previous man reminiscent of myself could be an odd presence in a sect, particularly with my low cultivation degree. But, if I do not be a part of one, I will likely be unable to grasp how this world of cultivation absolutely works. I am going to want a technique to affix a sect and never draw nice consideration to myself.

Secondly, I wanted to open these baggage, desperately. There could possibly be nice treasures there that would assist increase my cultivation degree or martial foreign money that could possibly be exchanged for gadgets and capsules. Poison capsules that’s.

So, first issues first, I wanted to extend my cultivation degree sufficient to have the ability to open the pouches. And to try this, I would like to search out extra sources, crops, bugs, or poisons. Which I am greater than sure that I’ll discover in abundance as soon as I’m going deeper into this forest.

Coupled with the help of the guide’s inner information of supplies and flora, I may perceive and know the worth of such crops and even when I had no prior information of them.

I continued touring, the necessity for sleep and meals was an amazing bonus, as I did not have to consider sustaining myself, the poison vitality inside me was sufficient to satiate me for an especially lengthy interval.

Days of journey glided by, and in them, I gained a great harvest.

I encountered a pair extra leopards and one other boar king. They have been straightforward to take care of, so long as they underestimated me, pondering of me as weak prey, I may simply spew out a poison breath on them and they’d die.

I harvested the cores and the inexperienced vitality which decreased a little bit of the swelling on my physique, however not fully. If I had 100 pustules, I had presently misplaced a pair. I nonetheless had an extended option to eliminate all of those disgusting issues off my pores and skin.

At some point, as I randomly walked with none purpose or goal in thoughts however to realize higher energy, I managed to exit the forest, or so I believed.

Proper in entrance of me was a mountain so excessive that its peak was lined in clouds. And round its base was a clearing, that gave the impression to be separating the forest from the mountain.

My complete physique was urging me to depart this space, however a lightweight soothing feeling got here from the guide inside my chest, comforting me and inspiring me to maintain shifting.

The Poison God’s Guide was telling me that it wanted me to go ahead.

I disregarded the urge to depart and towards my higher judgment moved towards the mountain. Hazard and alternative all the time walked hand in hand. If there’s hazard right here, then there would undoubtedly be a reward.

I steeled my resolve and walked up the mountain.

The steepness of this mountain made it troublesome to climb, particularly with this previous battered physique of mine. I needed to change course a number of instances earlier than I discovered a path that I may stroll up with out fearing the autumn to my loss of life.

The climb took me days, and fortunately there have been no creatures or demonic beasts that threatened my life as I made my means up the mountain. My solely subject was the coldness of the mountain that elevated the additional I went up, and the damaging looming sense of loss of life that elevated with each step.

It felt like a suffocating stress that was urgent towards me, urging me to go down, however the extra I saved going up, the extra I felt that I wanted to be up there.

At one level the stress grew to become an excessive amount of that I misplaced my grip and virtually fell to my loss of life, but with a determined flail of my hand, I managed to seize onto a small ledge and pulled my battered physique up.

I rested for a couple of hours, rotated a few of the vitality inside me, after which continued climbing.

Two days later of the fixed climb, I managed to achieve the supply of the hazard. A cave entrance that seemed prefer it was punched in by a large.

Bone piercing chilly threatened to show me into an ice sculpture. One thing from throughout the cave was sending chilling vitality that coursed my physique and made my previous bones rattle. If I have been to maneuver ahead, I used to be sure I might flip into an iced corpse.

I sat down and commenced rotating my cultivation base. The poison vitality that spiraled inside me and thru my meridians started combating towards the chilly. It was an odd sensation as if I had grown a tolerable fever that heated my physique sufficient to resist the chilly.

I stood up and took a number of extra steps. The chilly was nonetheless painful, but it surely was rather more tolerable. however the additional I went, the more durable it grew to become. Even respiratory turned suffocating, as I coughed up blood. Ice had undoubtedly materialized in my lungs and precipitated some inner harm.

I walked again and sat down, rotating the vitality a couple of instances extra till my situation stabilized.

Spiraling the poison Qi helped me in gaining warmth, however as soon as I stood up and stopped cultivating, that warmth quickly dissipated towards the chilly. The one means for me to maneuver ahead was apparent. I wanted to keep up a cultivation standing whereas shifting. A feat fairly tough, but it surely was the one choice I had if I needed to analyze the supply of this cave’s coldness and the beckoning of the guide.

I stood up, and entered a cultivation state, slowly my physique heated up, after which I took step one. I instantly misplaced focus and my cultivation stopped.

I desperately tried once more, and once more, and once more.

A number of hours glided by with minimal progress. Rotating the poison qi inside me whereas strolling took an excessive amount of focus, however with exhausting work and dumb stubbornness, I used to be in a position to transfer ten steps whereas I nonetheless rotated my vitality.

If I continued like this, I used to be certain to realize a breakthrough as my vitality appeared on the verge of reaching the Medium Decrease degree of Qi condensation.

And solely 5 steps extra I did it, and the vitality that my physique launched was sufficient to trigger steam to burst out of my physique.

Reaching the medium decrease degree of Qi condensation precipitated my physique to shudder and a brand new web page of the Poison God’s heritage guide was unlocked.
