Chapter 5 Impurities
Chapter 5 Impurities
After a long time, Theo managed to kill 35 more (Rabbits), and soon good news arrived that made him happy.
His understanding of the Technique: <Turtle Breathing> - Had leveled up to Small Advancement.
"That's good, with long breaths, I'll make less silence as I approach my victim and kill it easier!" Theo thought happily while seeing that his understanding of the technique <Turtle Breathing> increased.
Theo: "Hm ... thinking about it now, even though I've killed a lot of (Rabbits), <Sharp Claws> only increased a level. But even if it's like this, I think it's worth it spending this time killing those (Rabbits), since they are so easy to kill and there are many of them in that place. " Theo thought.
With the increase in his technique, it became easier for Theo to kill the (Rabbits), and whenever Theo used <Devour> on them, he would choose to trade for [System Points]. Because of this, he managed to kill 57 more (Rabbits) and exchanged 45 of these (Rabbits) for [System Points]. As for the others, he exchanged for [Essence] to help him regain his strength. After using the skill <Beast's Bite> often, it leveled up as well.
[<Beast's Bite> Level 1 has increased to Level 2]
[Causes 45% Physical Damage]
"Oh... another skill has risen." Theo thought as he saw the blue screen appearing, giving him the good news. "Hm. I already have enough points to exchange for another certain [Pill], the [Wood Pill] will help me improve my stamina by 15%. It would be good for my current self, so I take longer to get tired." He said in his mind going into [System Store] and searched for: [Wood Pill].
[System Store] - [106 Points]
[Search: Wood Pill]
Seeing it appear, Theo selected it and clicked on [Exchange].
[Are you sure you want to spend 75 System Points on the Basic [Wood Pill]?]
[Yes]-[No]
Theo: "[Yes]"
[You've purchased the [Wood Pill] Basic]
He then saw the bottle of [Wood Pill] appear in front of him. The flask that appeared had a dark red coloured tablet. Opening the bottle, Theo held the opened bottle with mouth and swallowed the [Wood Pill]. Shortly after he consumed the pill, he began to feel that his strength began to increase together with his fatigue fading away.
Theo: "Even when using these pills and killing all these (Rabbits), I still think it's going to be a while before I can move on to the 4th Tier of the Apprentice Kingdom." He reflected.
Theo was a little anxious to get his [Magic Core], but he knew that it wouldn't be long before he was able to advance further in his cultivation thanks to the skill <Devour>, that made it possible to increase his cultivation very quickly when exchanging for [Essence]. That's why he decided not to think about it too much and continued to hunt for (Points)- I mean (Rabbits) and increasing his points.

After a long time of killing (Rabbits) again, Theo noticed that it was getting dark, so he decided to go back to the [Den]. He made his way toward the [Den] through the forest along with (Red fox), who was still following him. Yes... the (Red fox) had been staying all this time looking at Theo hunt the (Rabbits). At first, Theo thought that after she was satisfied with her hunt, she would go back to the [Den] alone, but she ended up waiting for him all this time.
It didn't take them long to walk back to the [Den]. Theo then entered it along with the (Red fox). Upon entering the [Den], Theo sat in a corner and opened his [Status].

This time Theo was very happy because he got a good amount of [System Points]. But also wondered why the ability <Beast's Movement> didn't rise even though he was always using it. After a while, he thought that it must be because it was a movement skill, so it was harder to train and decided not to think about it anymore since he wouldn't find any answer even if he thinks about it more deeply.
Theo: "Okay, now I have all the [System Points] needed to buy the 3 missing pills." He thought, and then opened the [System Store] and in [Search] [Cultivation Pill] appeared written.
[System Store] - [211 Points]

Watching the screen showing the [Pills] appear, Theo selected all of them and went to [Exchange].
[Are you sure you to want to spend 195 System Points on the Basic [Fire Pill] - Basic [Water Pill] - Basic [Earth Pill]?].
[Yes]-[No]
Theo: "[Yes]"
[You have purchased the Basic [Earth Pill] - Basic [Pill of Fire] - Basic [Water Pill]]
Soon after, Theo exchanged his [Points] for the [Pills]. Three bottles with the [Pills] then appeared, all with different colours. One was light red, another was light blue and the last one was light brown.
Theo: "Okay, I'll use the [Earth Pill] first." Thinking about this, Theo opened the bottle that had the [Earth Pill] and swallowed it, he then began to digest the [Pill].
When it entered his body, Theo began to feel the mana inside the [Wood Pill] spread throughout his organs, making them stronger and stronger. After a while, after finishing to take effect, Theo took the [Fire Pill] and swallowed it too, beginning to digest it. By the time he finished digesting it, Theo's body was surrounded by a small amount of flame and these flames began to refine his whole body. This process was quite painful for him, but fortunately, it did not last for long.
Soon after the effect of the [Fire PIll] passed away, Theo felt lighter than before and a bit of black goo poured out from his pores.
Theo: "Mm. I still have the [Water Pill] that will cleanse impurities from my body, I'm going to use it now!" He thought as he took the bottle with the [Water Pill].
After taking the bottle with the pill, Theo opened it and carried the pill into his mouth, beginning to digest it. By the time he began to digest the pill, it spread throughout his body, once again cleansing the impurities from his body.
After a while, the effect of the [Water Pill] was over. Thanks to [Water Pill], Theo was able to wipe away a lot of the impurities from his body and because of it, he stunk a lot. Then, Theo opened the [System Store].
Theo: "[System Store] - [Basin with Water]"
[System Store] - [16 Points]
[Search: Basin with Water]
No results.
The: "Tsk, I thought it would work ... um ... and if I put [Water Basin] for an empty basin to appear? Well, I can only test."
Theo: "[System Store] - [Water Basin]"
[System Store] - [16 Points]
[Search: Water Basin]
[2 Points]
10 Liter Water Basin
[4 Points]
Water Basin with 10 Liters
Theo: "That's it, I can clean myself with it!" He thought, leaving the [Den], selecting the [Water Basin] and choosing [Exchange].
[Are you sure you want to spend 4 System Points on the Water Basin with 10 Liters?]
[Yes]-[No]
Theo: "[Yes]"
[You've purchased a 10 Liter Water Bowl]
Shortly after he confirmed it, a basin appeared in front of him with water inside. And without wasting time, Theo entered the basin with water and begins to clean himself.
Theo: "Hm ... despite it being a bit cold, I felt very good when cleaning myself and taking away those impurities in my body." He thought. After taking the bath, Theo went back to the [Den] and slept.
