My Cultivation System

Chapter 258 - Customized Antidote

'As long as you save me, I will become your slave.'

The moment he came out of the portal, Gaude looked at a young human and said those words before collapsing to the ground.

'What the hell?'

Looking at the collapsed goat man, Henrick exclaimed in surprise and thought, "Is it some kind of trick to kill me?"

Henrick was not careless in rushing to check on an otherworldly being. So, he asked the system, 'System, how is he?'

He wanted to know whether the golden horned goat man was just trying to fool him or he had really collapsed onto the ground.

'Ding,

          The injuries on his body look real; however, the Master needs to touch his body to know whether he is tricking you or not.

'What? If I go there and if he was acting his weak expressions on his face, then it  is over for me.'

Henrick looked at the golden horned goat man from the distance to search for more details on him.

However, except for the black blood which was all over his body along with multiple injuries, Henrick was unable to find anything.

'His current cultivation is only level 3 master realm. So, I think, I can check if he is really injured, then he will become my subordinate.'

Since the golden horned goat man said himself that he would become a slave by himself, Henrick thought of taking him as his subordinate because he didn't like Master-slave relationships.

As for why Henrick wanted to take him as his subordinate, he wanted someone to look after the portal while he was away on the trials.

Moreover, from the looks of it, the golden horned goat man's suppressed cultivation was level 3 master realm. Also, with time, his cultivation will continue to increase. So, he could completely focus on his trials.

As soon as he came to a conclusion, Henrick summoned the fire vine and his rank 4 burning spear before rushing towards Gaude.

'Don't try anything funny.'

Even though Henrick rushed towards Gaude, the moment he reached him, he was cautious and slowly placed his hand on the body of the golden horned goat man.

'Ding, 

          The goat man was not acting. He is paralysed by something which will kill within minutes; however, he is fighting it as though he didn't want to die.

As soon Henrick touched him, the system gave him clarity that he was really paralysed by something.

'System, is there anything I can do to help him from the paralysis; however, he should not gain his complete strength before I gain his trust.'

Soon, he asked for the help of the system because the reason for the system's existence is to help its master.

'Ding,

          Master can take his blood to the soul store to buy a custom made antidote for the goat man; however, it will take a few minutes. Moreover, the cost of the medicine might be a little costly.

"Oh. So, how long do you think he can fight that paralysis effect?"

Henrick nodded his head and hurriedly asked another question because by the time he brings the custom made antidote from the soul store, if the goat man dies, his crude souls will be wasted.

So, he asked for a rough approximation from the system.

'Ding,

        He must be fighting the paralysis effect for a long time. So, it spread all over his body and more than half of his internal organs were barely functioning. He might leave for another five minutes.

The system projected light on Gaude's body and examined his internal organs before giving an approximation time.

At the same time, a small holographic screen appeared in front of him with a countdown of five minutes.

'Even though it is not much, it is not small either.'

As soon as the system protected the countdown, Henrick didn't waste any time before ordering his system, 'Use the teleportation link.'

'Ding,

          Consuming 100 spirit stones and opening a portal to the inheritance building.

Soon, the system notification rang in his head.

'Ivy, Ruby, and Alpha, you three look after him.'

Before entering the portal, Henrick summoned the fire vine and ordered the two tamed beasts which were already in the small cave from the start.

'Swoosh'

Soon, he entered the inheritance building and thought, 'Looks like I got used to the teleportation link as I am no longer feeling any discomfort.'

Since he was running late on time, Henrick didn't bother to look for the trial master and hurriedly rushed towards the soul store before saying, "I need a custom made antidote."

<Please insert the sample for which you need an antidote for>

As soon as those words appeared on the light screen of the soul store, Henrick placed a small piece of clothing belonging to Gaude.

'Also, added a temporary weakening effect in the antidote.'

At the same, he didn't forget to customize the antidote with a temporary weakening effect.

<Examing in the sample...>

<Detected the poison for the paralysis came from a rank 6 dead paralysis dagger>

<Antidote for the dead paralysis effect can be prepared after the customer pays 100000 crude souls>

<After the discount, the customer only needs to pay 85000 crude souls.>

After he placed the sample on the light screen, the soul store started analyzing the sample while displaying line after line on the light screen.

'What? I need to pay 85000 crude souls?'

Henrick was shocked for a second and if it was the old Henrick before entering Glemoth world, he would have just let the golden horned goat man to death.

However, currently, he had more exactly 220000 crude souls and he didn't have much time to think because two minutes of his five minutes had already been completed.

"Yes."

So, without any hesitation, he decided to take the risk and gamble on the life of the golden horned goat man.

<85000 crude souls are consumed. Please wait at least five minutes for the preparation of the antidote>

'Five minutes? No way.'

When Henrick read the lines on the light screen, he was shocked because he only had three minutes. So, he hurriedly asked the soul store, "Is there any way I can reduce the time?"

<To reduce one minute, the customer had to pay 10000 crude souls>

<To reduce two minutes, the customer had to pay 30000 crude souls (10000+20000)>

.

<To reduce four minutes, the customer had to pay 100000 crude souls (10000+20000+30000+40000)>

<No discount is applicable while reducing the time>

'What the hell? It is a daylight robbery.'

Henrick was shocked when he read all the lines on the light screen of the soul store as he shouted out loud.

However, when his eyes fell on the timer, he calmed himself down and gave a green signal to the soul store to use all his crude souls.

<The customer is currently utilizing the express service by using 10000 crude souls>

After using 10000 crude souls, the preparation time for the antidote instantly cut down by four minutes leaving only 40 seconds.

'Sigh...after this, I left with only 35000 crude souls.'

Henrick sighed when he saw his account balance which fell down from 220000 crude souls to 35000 crude souls.
