What To Do After The Pill Wears Off?
[Congratulations, you have received 'Aeromancer's Will'.]
[Aeromancer's Will: Advanced spell, capable of manipulating space and levitating objects according to the user's will].
Spells are not classified like other Daily Awards, but this spell is certainly even stronger than the Stabilizing Roots.
Su Login was becoming increasingly adept at discerning useful items from garbage. That spell was sure to increase his power.
[Do you wish to learn 'Aeromancer's Will'?]
Yes.
As usual, the young man's mind was filled with various questions about the essence behind the nature of things.
This time, Su Login had the answers to the simplest questions, but he didn't have to worry about answering them; the System had gone ahead and answered them for him.
The Aeromancer's Will was a more complex spell, capable of giving orders to space so that it would obey the commands of the person using it.
Su Login saw that this spell fitted in perfectly with his combat style.
He was still weak, so he couldn't manipulate large objects, but when he got stronger, he could be like a crossbow that launched arrows at impressive speed.
[You learned 'Aeromancer's Will'.]
[You have received 25 XP.]
As soon as he had learned the spell, Su Login stood up and tested his new power.
He levitated a small stick that was lying on the ground.
Just like the Flying Sword, the object moved to the place his mind commanded.
I feel a bit tired using this spell, but I need to get used to it, as I'll be using it a lot in combat.
Su Login was pleased to see that he received 25 XP when he learned this skill. The stronger the spell, the more XP he received.
I wonder how much XP I would have received if I had consumed that spell... maybe 50 XP?
The young man decided not to think too much about it and went off to train, as he did every day.
Fruit was becoming scarce in that area, so he would have to go further to get food.
It was more dangerous to leave the area of the clearing, even with the Flying Sword he could still encounter Magical Beasts, but he would try to be cautious.
The yellow aura still surrounded Su Login's body, which meant that he was still under the effect of the Celestial Provision Pill.
His plan was to go into combat only when the effect of the pill had worn off, as he would no longer be able to cultivate at his current speed.
Currently, his Status screen looked like this:
-----------------------------------------
[Su Login, 14 Years Old]
[Level: 6]
[XP: 54 / 180]
[Qi: 1,089 / 2,500]
[Race: Human | Cultivation: Celestial]
[Realm: Unavailable]
[Strength: 23 | Defense: 10]
[Agility: 8 | Qi Gain: 1]
[Intelligence: 4 | Technique: 5]
-----------------------------------------
He was still inferior to the ordinary cultivators of that world, even a non-cultivator who had basic combat knowledge could be a strong enemy against Su Login.
He had already been cultivating for eight days with the help of the Heavenly Provision Pill and consuming the Daily Rewards to get XP.
His hope was that the effects of the pill would last a month. By the time he finished cultivating, his Level would be very high, and he would be able to face weaker Magical Beasts without much effort.
But the Peach Tree Trial was a problem, he didn't want to get into unnecessary trouble with the other cultivators.
After waking up in that world, he encountered the trio of young men who had thrown him into a puddle of water and the senior brother, Dai Yuzui, who exuded arrogance.
The people of that world certainly didn't take it easy on him.
***
Three days have passed.
The Daily Login System only gave out common items that Su Login didn't hesitate to consume, he had gained forty-five XP in the last few days.
He continued to gain two points of Qi multiplied by two hundred during his nightly cultivation.
Su Login's physique improved every day, the fruits of the forest had a positive effect on building up his lean mass.
Su Login practiced more advanced blows with his Flying Sword and some throwing techniques with sticks, using the Aeromancer's Will.
This time, the young man didn't forget to also train his communication skills and practiced talking to his reflection in the lake, as if he were talking to someone else.
Su Login wanted to receive a book to learn the writing of that world.
He wanted to have as much knowledge of the common sense of that world as possible, because one day he would need to go out and explore the world to become stronger.
There was a limit to how far he could go in the forest, at some point he would become invincible to the Magical Beasts that lived there and the XP he received would be too little to Level up.
The young man continued with his training routine.
Three more days passed.
That day, the yellowish aura around Su Login's body disappeared.
The effect of the Celestial Provision Pill had worn off, he could no longer evolve quickly.
Su Login opened the Status screen to see the results of his cultivation:
-----------------------------------------
[Su Login, 14 Years Old]
[Level: 6]
[XP: 159 / 180]
[Qi: 2,289 / 2,500]
[Race: Human | Cultivation: Celestial]
[Realm: Unavailable]
[Strength: 23 | Defense: 10]
[Agility: 8 | Qi Gain: 1]
[Intelligence: 4 | Technique: 5]
-----------------------------------------
I haven't managed to reach Qi Condensation I Stage, but I'm very close.
If he cultivated every day, he would need at least a year to finally reach the first Realm.
Ordinary cultivators and Geniuses only needed one to five years to reach that Realm simply by cultivating without help, Su Login felt his deficiency in cultivation first hand.
If it hadn't been for the Celestial Provision Pill, it would still have taken him a long time, even killing Magical Beasts.
I need to find stronger Magical Beasts.
Su Login knew that, from that moment on, it was up to him to officially enter the world of cultivation.
He was climbing the stairs slowly and the pill was like an aid that carried him in its arms to the entrance to the part he needed to open, Qi Condensation Stage I.
The young man wasted no more time and mounted his Flying Sword.
First, he would test his new power on the Wooden Horned Squirrels. Up until now, he had only trained on his own, and he needed to know how to apply his techniques to real combat.
He also needed to collect some Wooden Horns.
With the Aeromancer's Will, he no longer needed to use his hands to throw the objects.
It would also be convenient to kill some Ebony Whispering Serpents, so he could use the Strong Poison on the tip of the Wooden Horns, creating a deadly attack.
Su Login sighed and accelerated his speed.
He had a lot of work to do, he needed to become as strong as possible before the Peach Tree Trial began.
