Xuanwu Divine Tortoise Bloodline, Alchemy Cauldron

1144 Words
For how the elf woman's condition was stable, though she was still unconscious and it would take about five more healing sessions, depending on how much my skill increases within that time to completely heal her. So until the time she wakes up, I was stuck taking care of her. Either way we were safe down here, and tomorrow I will try to continue building my fortifications around the entrance of the storage room. It might not do much in terms of stopping the much bigger and more dangerous monsters, but at the very least it would stop the smaller ones and makes things a whole lot easier for me. But since things have calmed down a bit, I think I could now explore the updates to the system, and also get an understanding of the new skills and bloodline the system had given me for saving the elf. [Xuanwu Divine Tortoise Bloodline: this bloodline increases the natural and spiritual defense of its holder. At higher stages of cultivation, it's holder becomes capable of using earth techniques with over 1000% efficiency than normal fighters without the bloodline. This bloodline augments your star beasts ability, increasing it's efficiency by a 100% and reducing the cost to use it by 80%] [Earth Tremor: Gives you the ability to create a miniature earthquake within a two meter radius with throwback properties. The higher it's level of proficiency, the more powerful it becomes.] [Diagnosis: Gain the ability to diagnose the ailment of any living thing.] [Medical Alchemy: Increase efficiency and profound knowledge of medicine and the art of making pills and elixirs through alchemy.] There wasn't much difference to my stat sheet, but at the very least, I think this was a very good development. I really did feel a little bit stronger than before thanks to this new bloodline of mine, it meant that I could face the monsters outside of my storage room with a little more confidence than usual. But with the elf woman still unconscious, I wonder what's next on the agenda. [Mission: Explore the east side of the great hall, you must kill no less than 50 Essence beasts, and no more than 300] [Time: 3 days 18 hours 51 minutes and 10 seconds] [Penalty: Death] [Rewards: 500 system points, +1 to all stats] Seeing the mission reminded me of the system's so called shop and inventory, they were the things I've haven't taken a look at yet. Though based on their names, I think I understood what their uses were for and hopefully there was much to gain from the shop with none of the risk. SHOP • SKILLS • BLOODLINES • BLUEPRINTS • TOOLS • MATERIALS • CURRENT SYSTEM POINTS: 5000 [The shop sells knowledge and steps on how to make your life a bit easier or make yourself more powerful. However it doesn't sell already processed things like weapons, food, equipment except maybe for the tools required to make them. Basically it sells raw materials and the knowledge of how to use them. It's up to you to create those things. The system is a tool itself, a crutch if you may, but it's not a leg or a wagon that would carry you to supremacy and power. You will have to fight for that yourself. Since this is your first time making a purchase, I will reduce the price of your first 5 purchases by 100%. So can I make a suggestion?] My conversation with the system seems to happen more and more with each passing day. And while this mysterious entity that communicates with me using words on a floating holographic screen scares the ever loving suit out of me, I had to make peace with it's presence in my life and deal with it, so I nodded yes. [I recommend you buy an Alchemical lab set, and also an Alchemical Cauldron for the formation of pills and elixirs. Also get the skills Qi alchemy and treasure sense which should help you locate an essence flame to help with pill concoction. It would help you're cultivation progress at a faster rate than normal. And for your final purchase you have to get the skill nimble hands, it will evolve Into dexterous and in turn Ambidextrous making your handling of all tools and materials better. It would even help you in battles.] I didn't trust this system, and I'm sure that even with the knowledge I felt like I've gained so far, it would be nothing compared to what the system contains. Plus there doesn't seem to be any sort of danger or threat, so there should no problem in getting what he said I should. As long it can help in my survival and make me stronger, I will take whatever chances that I have to. [Purchase made; you have 5000 system coin remaining.] There was a bright flash of light, and a massive suitcase appeared in front of me. As the side of the suitcase was a golden pot like thing, which I assume should be the cauldron the system was talking about. It was completely black in one corner, and white in the other. The cauldron had a handle on four sides, but the handles were a depiction of four different animals or beasts. I've studied enough to know those four beasts were the four guardian beasts of cultivation. The Xuanwu Divine Tortoise whose bloodline I share, A blue eastern dragon, a Phoenix also known as the vermilion bird, and then a white tiger. [Primordial Beasts Yin-Yang Cauldron: Level 1 {0/200}: can create all pills of the mortal grade. Each beast handle can imbue a certain elemental essence into a pill making it stronger. To activate them you need White Tiger [Wind Fire 0/1] Xuanwu Tortoise [Earth Fire 0/1] Phoenix [Fiery Fire 0/1] Dragon [Cold Fire 0/1]. When all flames are found pills can be fundamentally transformed and even created from nothing, giving pills extra effects and strength. For every successful pill creation the cauldron level increases, but in case of failure, cauldron looses experience points. It if reaches level 0 the cauldron will break, and be lost forever and you would be cursed to never be able to use the alchemy skill.] Well isn't that just wonderful. There would be little room for errors when it comes to creating pills with the cauldron. I shook my head about to appraise the rest of my gains when I heard a loud explosion from above me, and accompanying that explosion were the roars of beasts as they fought for whatever reason they had. I was very much content to just sit where I was and let them fight it out, but then this happened. [Mission: Investigate the source of the noise] [Time: 15 minutes 20 seconds] [Penalty: Death] [Reward: +2 to all stats, +2 skill points] "f**k!"
