Chapter 489 High Peak Mountain

?

From MC's Perspective:

After two days, I got ready to leave the academy. For the past two days, I have been preparing for this trip. I bought some healing pills from the Treasure Pavilion. 

There are a lot more items that I could buy. But due to lack of money. I bought only the necessary items. 

Then I walked out of their dorm building. While heading toward the teleportation tower. I texted the dean about my leaving. I believe she might be able to control chaos after my departure.

The metal faction members are getting impatient. They wanted an immediate reply from me. But I simply disregarded and ignored the official duel post.

Some of them are purposely staying outside the special faction common room. But it's a pity they won't get to see me for some time. 

I reached the teleportation tower. Already some warriors spotted me on the way. But they don't hinder me.

They must be thinking I'm going to the monster zone for training. 

After entering the building, I walked up to the center. Then I selected the private coordinates point to teleport.

Swish!

Shortly after, the blue lights lit up. The next moment, I disappeared from the spot.

Red Moon Tower: Forest Area,

When I opened my eyes. I found myself in the middle of a green vegetation.

"This," I muttered. Looking at the surroundings. My eyes flickered with surprise. When she told me, I thought it was a suburb. 

But looking at this place. I feel I got closer to the destination. I opened my sci-fi to see whether the network is active.

Seeing the active signal. A hint of relief flashes in my eyes. At least I can navigate easily. Then I opened the map to see my current location. 

A holographic image appeared above the watch. And I spotted the red dot on the blue color map. Then I searched for the destination.

The high peak mountain is closer than I had expected before. Which is good news to me. My current location is far away from the core area of the Red Moon Tower.

Hardly, anyone comes to this forest area. I don't want to face anyone during the cultivation. Especially the elder who was hostile to me during the crimson hall competition.

I don't want to come across ever. She had openly stated she won't be friendly when we meet next time.

After pushing down these thoughts, I started to walk. The sky was covered with rainy clouds. At any moment, I can hear thunder and lightning. 

But it was good for me. Only with lightning and thunder, I can gather more lightning energy from the surroundings. 

While walking, I'm clearing the overgrown bushes as well. I don't know whether this forest has any Class Monsters. But I'm sure like Liz Mountain, this place has some pseudo-monsters as well.

One hour later,

The sky was covered with dark clouds. Heavy rain starts to pour down my face. 

Accompany by thunder and the environment. 

This environment gives me the perfect condition to cultivate. Unfortunately, I can't find any solid open spots to sit down and cultivate. 

But I have yet to reach my goal. Because the high peak mountain is half a mile away from here. It would take some time to reach the foot of the mountain.

Without minding the pouring heavy rain. I continued to walk on the path. A few hours later, I reached the foot of the mountain. 

This time I found a few bedrock at the foot of the mountain. This is a blessing in disguise. I drank some water before walking up to the place.

I sat cross-legged on the solid rock. Before I started cultivating, I activated the perceptual ability. Though I haven't seen any pseudo-monsters. I'm sure there are some around the vicinity. 

I closed my eyes and started to run the celestial scripture. Right after, a star lightning rune in my consciousness started to flicker. Right after, I felt a sense of ease and closeness to the surroundings.

I can confirm that the surrounding environment has lightning energy. Then I started to attract the energy faster from the surroundings. It was even twice as fast compared to the academy environment.

And when it is compared to the mountain Liz. It's many more times. Because this high-peak mountain area is located inside the Tier-6 region.

Normally world energy is abundantly present here. Now that I have a chance to cultivate in the lightning environment. I can feel a huge difference now.

When the energy entered my body. I guided the energy through veins according to the method. After circulation, the refined essence settles down inside the dantian. 

The purple essence slowly starts to fill the empty dantian. But the majestic totem didn't move at all.

Seeing that I continued to repeat the process. When a certain refined essence filled in. The totem will make a move.

After a few hours, I see the vibration of the totem. When the purple essence covered half of the dantian. The totem starts to make the purple essence more pure and powerful.

Seeing that I continued the process. When the dantian is fully covered. I can go back to the academy. 

Time passed,

I opened my eyes two hours later. A bright smile can be seen on my face. Because the environment here is more effective than I had thought. 

It took me a few hours to fill the dantian with lightning essence. It saved me a lot of time. When I'm thinking about cultivation.

Suddenly, I felt some movements ahead through perception. I got up from the solid rock and carefully looked outside. 

I spotted a few red dots coming in my direction. A hint of doubt flashes in my eyes. Is this monster or a warrior? 

I decided to hide and watch over them. 

"Lightning Phantom Technique," I said.

The next moment, the purple arcs covered my legs. I disappeared from the spot and moved towards a gigantic mountain rock to hide behind it.

Shortly after, I see the identities of the red dots. 

"Red Moon Tower Warriors," I said in my heart. Seeing the number of people. My eyes flickered with a slight glint. 

What are they doing here? A trace of doubt appeared in my heart. But I decided to wait and see.

"Hey, look here."

"See, I told you someone came before us."

"The traces are clear."

The four male warriors started to talk among themselves. They all are Elite Warriors from the Red Moon Tower. 

Like any other academy, the red moon tower also sends its warriors to do some missions. Especially when it comes to collecting specific herbs. Warriors come to high-peak mountains to collect herbs.

But at this moment, four of them were perplexed. They don't see anyone leaving the academy before them.

"It must be our academy student," One of the warriors commented.

Four of them didn't suspect the person might be an outsider. The high peak mountain is their territory. Who dares to come here other than them? 

Suddenly, one of the warriors frowned. 

"Do you guys feel something weird here?"He asked.

"What?" The 2nd warrior asked back.

Hearing that the warrior shook his head.

"It's nothing."

"Let's go. We have to find other herbs as well," the warrior said.

Right after, four of them went to the other side of the mountain.

After some time, I appeared back at the solid rock. 

"Herbs," I muttered while massaging the temple. I almost forgot about this. The mountain is an ideal place for energy-rich herbs to grow. 

Suddenly, a good idea struck my mind. I have completed my lightning training. So what about the healing scripture? This is a good place to gather healing energy as well.

But the problem is those people. If they come back during cultivation, it would be troublesome. What to do? A trace of apprehension appeared in my eyes. 

Then I decided to take the chance. If they appear, I can always detect them using my perception ability.

After deciding, I sat cross-legged on the ground and started to cultivate the wooden scripture. Right after, I felt the presence of green energy from the surroundings. 

I cracked up a wide grin. Having the healing energy before a duel is a good thing for me. It saves me from using the healing pill.

Slowly, I circulated the absorbed green energy through my body. After the circulation, the refined energy settles down inside the dantian. 

A small amount of green essence can be seen in the purple sea. Seeing that, I continued to repeat the process.

Meanwhile, the red moon tower team is busy looking for the herbs. 

After one hour, I looked inside the dantian. The amount of green essence has increased compared to last time. Fortunately, the purple lightning essence and green healing essence didn't mix.

After retracting my thoughts, I looked outside. The thundering rainstorms didn't stop at all. Looking at the time, I realized it was evening. I can go back later.

So I have decided to cultivate a few more hours before leaving this place.
