'White Screen, how do I increase my mental energy?'
As usual, a white screen appeared in front of Shi Li's face, answering his question.
~~~~~~~~
Price needed to pay: Reach cultivation realm of D-2 (Second Stage of Skin Tempering)
Item in exchange: 50% increase in mental energy, 20% increased mental energy efficiency
~~~~~~~~
'Well, that's quite pretty straightforward. I wasn't really expecting to just reach the Second Stage of Skin Tempering as the price, I was expecting something along the lines of exchanging items for it. Or exchanging part of my lifespan for it. Or even a limb or two for it.'
Shi Li couldn't help but notice the truth. 'It seems I've become too reliant on the eye to progress.'
Before he obtained the eye, he met his bloodline's progenitor in a dream, explaining what it could do and so on.
'All those bestowed with the eye become amazing and powerful figures in the future, according to him. But all of that was possible probably because they became too reliant on the eye.'
Before Shi Li was killed in that dream, the progenitor specifically said to not let the eyes consume him.
'But it seems I was getting consumed anyway. With the functions it could give, how could one not becoming reliant on it?' Shi Li sighed inwardly.
'In the end, it is quite hard to not rely on the eye in certain situations. Or does the consume part mean something else?' This question was pushed to the back of his mind as he knew he might ask this question again in the future.
'Anyways, it seems that I finally have a short goal to reach, including the becoming a middle Ascended Mortal to crush the Huang clan.'
...
After an hour of rest, Shi Li felt that his mental energy was recovered to a sufficient level and sat up. Moddy saw this and asked, "Are we going to hunt-nya?"
Shi Li nodded as he stood up and wiped off the dirt on his clothes. He then took out a ration from his bag and ate it. Not long after, he sipped a bit of water as well.
"We are. I'm going to have to polish my skills even more."
Shi Li turned around and walked towards the barrier, letting Moddy follow him behind.
...
Huang clan, Huang Tiankong's room.
Just a few hours after Shi Xingwan obtained a refined grade pill, an attendant hurriedly ran towards Huang Tiankong's room and opened the door with the pill on its hand tightly gripped.
"Patriarch, patriarch! Great news! Great news!"
Huang Tiankong who was circulating his qi through his meridians, opened his eyes as he looked at the attendant.
"Oh? What's the great news?"
The attendant kneeled down and bowed his head as he extended his arms to reveal the beautiful yellow pill.
"Patriarch, we have successfully bought the exquisite grade Shackle Ascension Pill! But we had to pay 1000 more gold coins than the original price due to its high demand."
Hearing that the exquisite grade pill was bought by the clan, Huang Tiankong stood up and laughed loudly. "Hahaha! Great news! Great news indeed! The extra 1000 gold coins you used doesn't matter at all! As long as we have our hands on this pill, we shall become the strongest clan in Verdant Breeze Town!"
Tiankong grabbed the pill from the attendant's hands and used his qi to bring a jade box close to him. He placed the pill in the jade box and closed it shut, afraid of its medicinal energy lessening.
He then said to the attendant, "Since you've given me this pill, go ahead and grab a High Human martial technique from the clan library, I'm feeling generous today!"
The attendant's eyes glistened with joy as he continuously bowed multiple times in front of Huang Tiankong.
"Many thanks to the Patriarch! Many thanks to the Patriarch!"
Huang Tiankong laughed as he waved his hand. "Haha! Go on, go on. Go and leave me be."
The attendant hurriedly stood up and bowed one more time before leaving Huang Tiankong's room.
Huang Tiankong let out a sigh of relief as he looked at the jade box with glee.
"The Shackle Ascension Pill...is now mine. I have a 45% chance to break through to the Ascended Mortal realm. Normally, with my qi focused onto one point, I would have a 20% chance to break through. So with both combined, I would have a 65% chance to break through!"
This notion made him laugh even louder than before, as this was possibly the highest chance he could get in this town. Of course, if he went to a city, his chances would be even higher but the cost would also be higher.
"I've decided. In two weeks time, I shall go through a secluded breakthrough and hope for the best."
"If I do become an Ascended Mortal, hehehe. Shi clan, prepare on handing your Sky grade technique to me as a gift."
...
After Shi Li and Moddy went back to the inner depths, Shi Li opened his map and went back to where the corpses he killed were and picked it up. Afterwards, he opened his storage and stored the corpses there since beast corpses sell for a lot, according to The Azure Dusk Continent book.
Not long after, they continued to hunt for beasts at the Skin Tempering realm, may it be at the First Stage or at the Third Stage. Moddy would use the Enhancement Waltz and Harmony Bind, and Shi Li would use the Heaven's Waltz in attacking.
As Shi Li got used to utilizing the movements in an attack, his understanding of the technique increased as well. After this hunt, Shi Li was able to use the first four movements in sequence, allowing him to kill beasts even at the First Stage of Bone Tempering with ease!
For the next few days, it became a routine of Shi Li and Moddy hunting in the inner depths, Shi Li and Moddy entering the special space for Shi Li to enhance his comprehension on the Heaven's Waltz's 16 movements, and then taking a short rest and hunting yet again to incorporate more movements from the Heaven's Waltz into his attacks.
Even though it may seem monotonous, each day of continuous practice gave both Moddy and Shi Li a surprise. On the third day of their routine, Shi Li noticed that every four movements infused into the attack would increase the attack power by onefold, in exchange for a longer amount of time to attack since there are four movements to use.
On the fifth day of their routine, Moddy noticed that its skills had increased by a level, allowing beasts at an even higher realm to be pummeled into pieces without a problem.
On the seventh day of their routine, Shi Li finally comprehended the tenth movement of Heaven's Waltz, which made his aura appear to be one with nature. Not only that, he was even able to borrow a bit of power from nature into his every attack, thus increasing his combat prowess even more.
On the ninth day of their routine, Moddy was able to control its Aurora Blast to only affect certain parts of a beast, reducing the times Moddy turned a beast into ash.
On the tenth day of their routine, Shi Li finally comprehended the twelfth movement of the Heaven's Waltz, which made his aura appear to be with nature. Not only that, he could also borrow a bit of power from nature to infuse into his every attack, thus increasing his power a bit more.
On the twelfth day of their routine, Shi Li was able to use the first thirteen movements of Heaven's Waltz into his attack, increasing the power of the attack by threefold.
And on the fourteenth and final day of the routine, Shi Li and Moddy faced up against a beast at the Third Stage of Bone Tempering.
"[Harmony Bind]!"
A ray of silver light surrounded the beast's body and tightened itself, making the beast roar in pain and anger.
"[Enhancement Waltz]!"
Shi Li's body emanated a faint gold light as he visualized the movements of the Heaven's Waltz in his mind. Not long after, Shi Li charged towards the beast at extremely high speed, stopping yet again just a few centimeters away to use that momentum as the power on his fists.
"[Heaven's Waltz: Sixteen Worldly Sonatas]!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Four explosions, which were actually sixteen smaller explosions in one explosion, occurred within the beast's body, turning every organ and bone within the beast into mush and powder.
And then, Shi Li grabbed a small pile of leaves and vines to shove it into the beast's mouth and threw the beast corpse into the storage.
"How much do you think this beast corpse would sell, Moddy?" Shi Li looked at Moddy who was still up the tree branch.
"Nya...I would say around 70 gold coins-nya!" Moddy replied as it jumped down the branch and went towards Shi Li.
"Yeah, I'd say around that much as well."
As the both of them were continuing to go back to the center area, Shi Li's body instantly emanated an aura so grand and vast that it scared all the nearby beasts to running away.
Shi Li felt that his body had a limitless amount of energy in store, but he knew that it was his breakthrough coming.
"Moddy, create a barrier around us! I'm gonna break through to the Second Stage!"
Moddy hurriedly beat the drums as it used the Enhancement Waltz and Aurora Blast skills in tandem, forming a barrier of light that would injure anyone who got close.
Shi Li looked at the barrier and sat cross-legged on the ground as a few words popped up in his mind.
~~~~~~~~
Would you like to break through to cultivation realm D-2?
~~~~~~~~
'Yes.'
Shi Li closed his eyes as he felt that the limitless energy was being spread throughout his body, and was being absorbed by every cell in his body as well. His skin compacted itself and his internal organs were strengthened a bit by the energy as well. A small layer of dark skin was formed on top of Shi Li's body, to which Shi Li cleaned off by going to a nearby river.
After checking that there were no problems with his breakthrough, he checked the screen that opened up in front of him.
~~~~~~~~
Congratulations to User for reaching cultivation realm D-2 (Second Stage of Skin Tempering)!
