Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

Chapter 24 Two Months Later

Day after day, two months passed. The two months were much easier to go through than the three that I had to go through in isolation. I was in my room, looking at the mirror. My shirt was out, and I was looking at my upper body.

Scars riddled my upper chest. I was no longer the same naive boy that I was a few months ago. I was not the same anymore. Fighting changed me. I may not have killed, but taking blood changed something within me. I started caressing the ring on my finger. Over the last few weeks, I spent a lot of time cultivating, as well as fighting. Taking the advice of the system, I fought a lot, trying to consolidate my cultivation. I reached the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm within a month, and after that, I only fought.

The system said that the only way for me to increase my cultivation into the foundation establishment stage was to make a Foundation Establishment Pill. I looked at the prices. Even the shoddiest quality pills cost more than a million spirit coins. I did not know what to do. The materials to make the pill myself cost about five million spirit coins, if I wanted good quality pills. I saved up. Painstakingly making batches of pills, and selling them, I finally gathered enough for two sets of materials.

"System homepage." I said.

The change in the alchemy window happened after I made a batch of pills. The system just refused to explain what it meant, and I did not care enough. I headed out of the room. I needed to make the pills, and this was not the right place to do that. I wanted to get to the foundation establishment stage before the Liu Family gathering took place in a week. I needed to come first, and show everyone that I was not a piece of trash like everyone treated me. I wanted to shut everyone up.

I put my head down and left the estate. I went to the inn with a hat over me and locked the door behind me. Then, my hand twitched and a pill furnace appeared in front of me. This was another trick I learnt over the weeks. A simple button that I could designate to everyday things would deliver a command to the system.

The fire appeared immediately, and the room started getting a little hot. I knew what I needed to do now. I needed to purify the materials and start condensing the pills. It was a very complicated process compared to the other pills that I made in the past. There seemed to be a general difference between pills made for the Qi Condensation Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The herbs that I threw into the furnace vanished immediately after they crossed the threshold. They turned into viscous liquid instead. I carefully moderated the amount of Qi that I sent into the fire. I needed the fire to be a little low, but not too low. I had to make sure that the herbs did not get burnt.

One by one, thirteen different ingredients went into the pot. They were all separated within the furnace itself though. They had not yet merged together. For that, I learnt another technique special to the skill book that I got from the system.

I started performing a few hand signs. One by one, runes appeared on top of the furnace. The runes on the furnace also started glowing. I could feel a lot of my Qi just getting spent so quickly. I had little time left before I ran out completely. Making a pill that was beyond my cultivation level was really a tough task. But this was a risk that I just had to take. I had no choice.

The runes descended into the furnace. The separate essences of the herbs started merging together. The green and blue liquids became gold, an uncanny change. But I knew that this was good. It started coming together, and split into five parts. The furnace started heating up as I sent in more Qi into it. More runes started lighting up, and all of the five parts merged into five different pills.

I cut off the Qi supply and the furnace was immediately shut by a lid. I fell back with exhaustion and took a heavy breath.

"Finally, this is done. It better work." I said to myself.

Ding!

A sound came from the furnace and a sweet smell came from inside. My mouth twitched. It grew wide. It was a smile. I was smiling. I knew that I did it. I did it on my first try, which I certainly did not expect. I had five foundation establishment pills, and I could try and break through. I also knew that my pills were of much better quality than the million coin pill. Each one would probably fetch about five or six million, but I did not want to sell them now. I wanted to sell them after the martial gathering was over. I was not an idiot, and I did not want to face stronger opponents by giving them a chance to break through.

I opened the pills, and with that, a golden hue came upon my face. I turned my hands and a jade box appeared in the palm of my hand from my spatial ring. I took the five pills within and put them in the box. I quickly closed the box lest the efficacy disappear.

The furnace disappeared, and I was all alone in the room, with just the pills in my hand. I started thinking.

"Should I take one now, or should I wait for a moment?" I was thinking.

"Ah screw this. What could possibly happen?"
