My Cultivation System

Chapter 164 - The Floating Barren Land

Inside the inheritance building,

'Ding,

     Challenger, there are still a few more hours before you can request the ascending trial.

'Ding,

     So, please wait or try completing another level 0 trial until then.

When Henrick asked for the ascending trial, the trial master didn't give him the trial; instead, he asked him to wait for a few more hours before he could request the ascending trial from the trial master once again.

"Sure"

Henrick nodded his head because it was just a few hours. 

Until then, he could finish his other works like a level 0 trial or the daily missions.

'I will go for the trial. These daily missions, I am just bored of them,'

Compared to the daily missions, Henrick felt the trials from the inheritance building were worthwhile because they were interesting and the most important thing was they give good rewards.

In the past five days, he completed a level 0 trial each day. So, in total, he completed 5 level 0 trials and his cursed souls had increased from 8613 to 9600.

Even though it only increased by around 1000 cursed souls, Henrick felt they were quite rewarding compared to the three daily missions.

So, he directly chose to complete a level 0 trial first before completing the daily missions.

'Ding,

     Selecting a random trial for the challenger from the level 0 trials.

'Ding,

     Trial:- 'Cultivate' is selected.

'Ding,

     Please enter room number 35.

Soon, the trial master selected a random level 0 trial and asked him to enter trial room number 35.

'Huh? Cultivate?'

Henrick raised his brows when he saw the system notification and felt the trial was a little interesting.

Without wasting any time, he walked towards the trial room number.

'Swoosh'

Soon, Henrick appeared on barren land. 

The barren land was floating in the endless space where he could find where he was going or what is this land.

The floating barren land was only 100 meters in length.

'Hmm'

Henrick was processing his thoughts about the sudden change in the environment and waited for the trial master's instructions.

'Ding,

     The challenger has to grow at least 10 plants within 10 hours; otherwise, it is deemed as a failure and the challenger will not get any reward.

Soon, the system notification appeared in front of him along with a small bag of seeds.

'So, it is about plants cultivation,'

Henrick nodded his head and took the small bag of seeds into his hands.

'Ding,

     Item name:- Small bag of fire wisp flower seeds.

    Quantity:- 100

The moment he touched the small bag of seeds, the system gave the data about the seeds.

'Huh? Fire wisp flower seeds?'

Henrick revealed a small smile as he recalled how excited Nick was when it comes to the fire wisp flowers.

'Let's see what I can do,'

He had the general idea of growing plants; however, he didn't know whether the spiritual plants like Fire wisp flowers will be grown the same way or not.

Nevertheless, he first wanted to give it a try with what he knew.

'Since I need to cultivate 10 plants, then I will divide the 100 seeds into 10 batches. So, I can try 10 different ways in cultivating them,'

Soon, Henrick separated them into 10 batches.

'Wait a second, did I read it wrong?'

All of a sudden, Henrick remembered something as he opened his system inbox to see the earlier notifications.

'How can I cultivate them in 10 hours?'

After reading the system notification once again, Henrick lost all the hope in completing the trial.

'According to his knowledge, it is impossible to grow any plant in just 10 hours in a barren land without water. Moreover, the fire wisp plants will require more than compared to regular spiritual plants,'

Henrick thought about the difficulties of growing the fire wisp plants in a barren land.

'Ding,

    The challenger is giving up the trial? 

'Ding,

    If so, then you exit the trial room now.

Just as he was feeling frustrated over the trial, the trial master asked him whether he was giving up the trial.

'Huh? When did I say that? I will try till the end,'

Henrick shook his head as he didn't give up the trial.

After saying that he looked at the 10 fire wisp seeds in his hands thinking whether he sowed them into the ground or not.

'Swoosh'

Just as he was thinking what to do, the fire vine inside his dantian came out of his body and wrapped around his hand.

'Wait for a second! Should I just use the technique, I used on Ivy to cultivate them?'

Henrick suddenly got an idea and hurriedly sowed a seed into barren land.

'Transfer'

After covering it with the sand, Henrick placed his hands on it and started transferring his pure internal fire energy into the ground.

He just wanted to test whether the idea he got would work or not. So, that's the reason why he only picked one seed among the 10 seeds in his hand.

'Yes...it is working,'

Soon, Henrick noticed that a small sprout came out of the ground which made him quite excited.

'One plant is cultivated and nine more to grow,'

As soon as the sprout reached a couple of centimeters out of the ground, Henrick stopped supplying his pure internal fire energy to the seed and looked at the nine other seeds in his hands.

'Ding,

     One percent of pure internal fire energy is consumed.

'Ding,

     Dantian:- Pure internal fire energy (49 percent / 200 percent).

The moment he stopped transferring the pure internal fire energy, Henrick got two system notifications regarding his pure internal fire energy.

'Only 1 percent is consumed. So, there is no problem in completing this trial,'

Henrick was not much concerned about the pure internal fire energy like before. Because he found a new way to increase the pure internal fire energy and it was to kill the beasts.

Moreover, after emptying his dantian, he diligently circulated the 'Blazing sun sutra' 10 times per day and for the five days, it became 50 percent.

There was not much usage of the internal fire energy for him even in the trials. So, it remained at 50 percent.

'Time to create a new record,'

After seeing the healthy sprout in the ground, Henrick felt he could create a new record in this trial and get extra cursed souls from the trial master.

By creating a new record for every trial, he would get 1000, 100 and 10 cursed souls depending on the record. So, of course, it was the best way to increase his cursed souls.

'Swoosh'

Soon, Henrick sowed the remaining nine fire wisp seed into the barren land with some gap between them.

'Transfer'

He placed his hands onto the ground and started repeating the same process.

'I think cultivating 10 plants at once is my limit. I will go with 10 seeds at once,'

Henrick noticed he could not spread his pure internal fire energy to a large distance in the underground and decided to cultivate 10 seeds at once.

Since his first method was already working so well, he felt to use all 40 seeds at once in the next batch; however, he was unable to do it.

'What?'

All of a sudden, Henrick noticed his first plant withered away.
