The Invincible Corruption Manual

Chapter 28 CHAPTER 27 : Meeting The White Tiger Again

After checking out his health, Joey asked," Sister Ai, how can I heal my injury?"

" You damn fool! Why don't you try to cultivate and see if it works? " Long Ai replied with annoyance.

There were several caves around that place. He checked out all of them and entered an empty cave that looked clean. After that, he closed the entrance with a big rock and lit up the room with some array he bought from the cannon city.

He sits down on the ground cross-legged and begins cultivating his mantra chants. Like usual, a small whirlpool of essence qi is formed above his head then poured into his head. The cold qi moves toward his chest and slowly starts healing the burnt part of the chest.

Sometime later, the palm imprint was completely removed from his body. Also, the pain due to it subsides quickly.

" Hey, brat! You need to have some pills both for cultivation purposes and also for emergency purposes from now on. " Ai reminded him.

" You are right. I will keep that in mind." Joey replied.

" Oh, brat! You seem to have an unusually strong soul force, unlike your cultivation-based. So, why don't you try out alchemy? What do you think? " Ai asked him excitedly.

" I will do that if I have studied some books regarding alchemy later. " Joey assured her.

? " Brat, use your consciousness and search a black stone inside your soul sea," she ordered.

Joey closed both his eyes and used his mind and wandered around his soul sea just below that golden-purple ball of soul that formed after the assimilation of his previous two split souls. His mind searched all over the soul sea. A small black stone was currently floating inside the sea.

" Sister Ai, I found the black stone. What should I do next? " Joey inquired after finding the thing that looks like the stone used by the old man to hit on his forehead before his last moment on the earth. ( this scene is included in the synopsis.)

" Brat, use your soul force on that stone," She commanded them.

Joey sends an enormous amount of soul force inside the black stone. Then suddenly the stone sends an enormous attractive force toward his soul force. The whole of Joey entered the stone.

Then, Joey appeared on the 1st floor of the pagoda.

" Welcome brat! You can now enter the pagoda at your will. Anyway, where is my meat?" she spoke out while spreading her hand toward him.

Joey took out several boxes from inside his space ring. Seeing all the boxes, Ai was all smiles and snatched all of them and quickly put them inside her space ring.

" Oh! I forget something. Come here. " she said to him with a wide smile.

Joey walks toward her absentmindedly. She quickly pulls out her hairpin and hits twice on his forehead.

" Ouch! That hurt." Joey exclaimed out with pain. Bumps that look like small horns grew out from his forehead.

" Hahaha, remember what I said to you before. " she giggled.

Joey touched his forehead and looked at her angrily. She took out two books and threw them toward him.

" What are those books? "He grabbed it and asked her. He looked and saw that they had the names 'Encyclopedia for alchemy's herbs and fruits' and 'Introduction to alchemy'.

She just shrugged at him.

Joey sat down and started reading the 'Encyclopedia for alchemy's herbs and fruit'. As he had the super memory brain he finished the book after reading once and kept the two books inside his space ring afterward.

" Sister Ai, can I go out now?" Joey enquired at her.

She nodded and waved her hand toward him. Then he was teleported back to the cave he had been earlier.

Afterward, he walked out of the cave. He then returns back to the outer zone of the forest again. He avoided the previous path he came afraid of meeting that goatee old man again.

On his way back, he picks a lot of herbs that he saw in the books. He continues his journey also searching for fruits and herbs. Sometimes he met some LVL 1 beasts that he killed on his way.

Suddenly, he could hear the sound of fighting nearby. So, he moved toward them and saw two LVL 3 beasts fighting. One of them is the white tiger he met before and another was a python.

They were fighting very fiercely.

The python spits out a miasma of black poison toward the tiger sometimes. The tiger quickly avoided all of them and quickly approached it and clawed at its tail.

" Hiss hiss." The python gets furious after its tail was injured. It started attacking randomly while spitting dark poison.

Seeing that the tiger was about to win, Joey felt happy for the tiger.

But suddenly, the python sprung up the air and cast a denser poison arrow, and hit at the stomach of the white tiger.

The tiger growled and the two beasts started fighting melee again. Due to the effect of the poison inside its body, the white tiger becomes weaker and weaker. Sometimes later, the tiger can't even move its body.

The python tries to attack its last fatal blow to the white tiger. At that time, Joey shot an arrow with 'Piercing lunar' skill at the python. The python gets hit on one of its eyes. When it was currently rolling and twitching on the ground, feeling the burn of the attack, Joey quickly approached the white tiger, picked it with his hands, and quickly ran out of the place without looking back.

After several hours of running, he felt safe and kept the wounded tiger on the ground. He checked its body, and the tiger remained unconscious. Finding no way to save the tiger, he started communicating with Long Ai.

" Sister Ai, this white tiger seems to be poisoned, do you have any means to save it?"

"Bring it inside the pagoda," she replied.

Then, Joey used the previous method while holding his hands to the white tiger and entered the pagoda again.
