My Cultivation System

Chapter 121 - Fire Rock

The reason was after seeing the scene of the baby fire monkey refining the blood to increase its cultivation, he might be tempted to use the demon technique. 

So, he thought it was better to stay outside.

'Anyway, let's see what today's daily missions are,'

While keeping an eye on his surroundings, Henrick opened the daily missions.

'Shit...I better don't see the daily missions for a few more days,' As soon as he saw the halographic screen in front of him, Henrick bitterly shook his head.

As for why he thought like that it was because of one routine mission which he was not confident in accomplishing.

He was none other than refining his entire muscles in his body using the pure internal fire energy.

'Even with my endurance, I can't achieve that. In the meanwhile, I have to gain better control over my own pure internal fire energy,'

Henrick knew about his body's endurance very well. So, he decided to take it to slow instead of rushing things.

For a cultivator, patience is the most important thing to have; otherwise, he will not reach greater heights in his cultivation path.

'I hope, the baby fire monkey comes out soon,'

Soon, he stood up from the ground and walked here and there.

'Eek eek'

Just as he moved a couple of steps, the baby fire monkey came out of the cave while letting out excited noises and jumped onto Henrick's shoulder.

"So, is it over?"

Seeing the excited look on the baby fire monkey's face, Henrick could guess that it benefited greatly with the blood refining technique.

'Eek eek'

'Yes master,' the baby fire monkey vigorously nodded its head as it continued to transmit its immature voice to Henrick, 'Moreover, I awakened a new skill after absorbing the blood from 101 fire ghouls inside the cave.'

'What?'

Henrick was shocked to hear those words as he asked with a shocked expression on his face, 'You absorbed the blood from all the dead bodies of the fire ghouls inside the cave?'

Awakening a new skill didn't give him much shock because it was common for the beasts to awaken a skill or two after consuming other beasts.

However, what shocked him was the baby fire monkey only took 2 hours of time to refine the blood from all the fire ghouls inside the cave.

'Maybe the 'Blood refining technique' is much more powerful than I thought,' Soon, Henrick thought about the demonic technique because he could only relate the speed of such absorption rate to it.

'Now, I can't do anything other than helping the baby fire monkey to always remain calm,'

Since it was too late to regret now, Henrick decided to take care of the baby fire monkey from turning into an insane beast.

'System, show me its new skill,'

Soon, he asked the system to show the recently awakened skill of the baby fire monkey.

'Ding,

 Skill name:- Fire rock

 Effect:- When the skill is used, a huge fire rock (Depending on the internal fire energy of the user) will be dropped on the chosen fixed target.

 Description:- A common skill for the mutated fire ghouls.

"Oh. Not a bad skill. It can be used when we fight against a group of enemies. In this case, the fire rock will definitely hit someone," Henrick nodded his head as he patted the small head of the baby fire monkey.

"Okay then, if your romance is finished, I will bid my goodbye now," When he was patting the baby fire monkey, Henrick heard Nick's words and turned his head towards Nick.

"In the future, you will have your own tamed beast. I will see how you take care of it,"

For a cultivator, having one of two tamed beasts was a common thing because tamed beasts could be used for many things like for transportation, communicating with distant friends or families and many more.

And among all, the tamed beast was the beast fighting companion for a cultivator that would always stay with him in life and death.

So, Henrick scoffed at Nick as he countered Nick's words.

'Anyway, I am going now. Don't die while I am gone. Also, I will wait for you at the bridge till evening, if you don't come, I will go without turning my head back.'

Nick didn't bother with Henrick's words as he left while waving his hand at Henrick and the baby fire monkey.

"You also, don't die while searching for some flowers...Haha," Henrick shouted back at Nick. So that he could listen to his words.

Even though they both talked about death, in their hearts they really didn't mean it.

'Eek eek'

Seeing that Nick was leaving, the baby fire monkey also waved its hands back at him.

"Now, let's go for our solo mission, what do you say?"

Henrick turned his face towards the baby fire monkey as he asked while moving towards the next location of his mission.

Even though this was Henrick and Nick's first time venturing in the beast mountain, they have some clarity on the locations of their mission because it was explained in the mission. So, despite the fact that the baby fire monkey was good at finding locations in the beast mountain, Henrick and Nick really didn't need to rely on it.

'Eek eek'

Just as he took a couple of steps, the baby fire monkey released a few monkey noises while pointing its fingers towards the other fire ghoul cave beside the one which they had just cleared.

"Tap"

'Do you always forget to speak or what?'

Even though Henrick could guess what the baby fire monkey was saying from its expressions, he lightly tapped its head to make sure it remembered his words.

 Whenever the baby fire monkey gets excited, it forgets that it could speak in human tone through the contract making Henrick shook his head.

"So, you are saying we enter that cave and clear it?" Henrick asked while looking at the entrance of the second fire ghoul cave.
