Chapter 416 - Big Risk For Great Reward Part 1
After placing Chase in the energy chamber to recover, Adam returned to the sparring hall where Elizabeth awaited him and seemed eager and ready to begin her training with Adam.
At that current moment, she didn't see him as a leader or friend, just like Adam had told them and wanted from them.
He was their teacher and would do all he could to propel their cultivation and their capabilities, but they needed to be willing, eager and determined to learn and improve.
"Good, it seems you are ready to be trained. Then we shall begin immediately and not waste any time" said Adam as he walked over to her.
"From the spar and what I have seen from you in battle, I am impressed by your power, but it is very plain and ordinary. I believe you aren't reaching your full potential and also haven't reached a high enough understanding of your constitution. This is what I want you to work on and I have an idea of different applications that it may have other than healing others and forming pills and medicine" stated Adam.
"Sit down and begin cultivating using whatever method you are using. Here are some herbs that I picked from the plant area and I would like to observe your cultivation for myself" he instructed.
She took the herbs that he carried with him in a bag on his way back from placing Chase in the energy chamber, then did as he said.
"I will be placing my hand on your back so do not be alarmed and continue cultivating"
As he said that, he placed his hand on her back to gain a better understanding and awareness of what was occurring within her body as he observed how she cultivated.
He had never seen it for himself and it was a unique, impressive and unusual method to cultivate.
Scanning her body while observing how she cultivated, Adam had a much better understanding of how her constitution worked.
From what he observed, her physique allowed her to refine medicinal properties within her body and use them to strengthen her external body, while the energy she cultivated was medicinal energy that she had absorbed and gained control of.
Using that medicinal energy, she could heal others, but other than that, she used it for ordinary and plain attacks just like he had previously seen, and she didn't have many special offensive capabilities.
Although being a supportive cultivator and an individual that could heal others, form medicine and pills and control and refine medicinal properties was amazing, she was a leader that needed to be capable of standing her ground and fighting against powerful opponents.
If she was alone without the other leaders, her power would be on par or slightly above ordinary cultivators at the same level as her, which wasn't enough for a leader of the sentinels faction.
He wanted the leaders to be an invincible team, but also wanted them to be powerful, respected and revered individuals even when they fought alone.
After watching her for 10 minutes, Adam told her to stop and she awaited his next instruction and what he was going to say next.
"First of all, your attacks are too shallow, basic and simple. You need to increase your combat prowess and skills, and not just rely on raw power and using your dense Internal Energy. I think you should learn to use a weapon and I have a recommendation for you that will match the application of your constitution that I came up with" he said.
She agreed with everything he said and was excited to hear what weapon Adam believed she should use and how else she could use her constitution.
"Medicinal properties is too broad a term and with each herb, there are medicinal properties, but there are also medicinal impurities. There are always two sides, orientations and types of something"
"So, what is the opposite of medicine?" he asked.
"Poison" she uttered with an enlightened expression.
"You are an intelligent individual and I believe poison is something you should definitely research and learn to wield. There are two methods you can use to harm someone with poison and your constitution. You can either bombard them with medicinal properties, overwhelming their internal organs and causing their bodies to collapse, or split your dantian and cultivation into two, with one half cultivating poison and the other medicinal properties" said Adam.
"The first option isn't very effective and is restricted but is easier, while the second method is time-consuming, will initially lower your cultivation and is very painful, but gives you great versatility, power and a lethal weapon you can use against your enemies"
He left the choice up to her, but he made it clear that the second option was much better and was what he hoped she would choose.
"Do you even have to ask? I will obviously go with the second option and am not afraid of pain and am willing to work as hard as I need to in order to become stronger"
Her drive, determination and resolve were clear and Adam smiled after hearing that, before withdrawing a small book from his pocket.
"This is a forbidden method that is extremely risky and is used by some to essentially split their cultivation in half. It will make it so that your body has two energy cycles and is hard for people's bodies to handle, but also for the mind to control. If you pull it off, your power, potential and capabilities will increase astronomically, but if you fail, you will never be able to cultivate again"
"I will be assisting you with the method if you still want to follow through with it and the left side of your body will cultivate medicinal energy and can be used to heal your allies, while your right side will cultivate poison energy to kill your enemies"
"The choice is yours and one needs to take big risk for great reward," he said as he placed the manual before her.
