Way to the Mountain Pass
Seral continued to walk over to Daedalus before asking "What happened your fight destroyed half the town!?"
Daedalus sighed before saying "Well I wasn't expecting to encounter the flood dragon so close to the town, and if I had tried to lead it away I would have been killed."
After a short silence Seral asked Daedalus "How powerful was it?"
"Higher than me in all of its cultivation."
After talking for a while longer about the fight Seral said "I see you made a breakthrough."
"Yeah the flood dragon was very beneficial to me. By the way I will be giving the town some money for repairs and a sorry."
"Thank you for your kindness."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After they finished talking Daedalus and Seral went their own ways. Seral headed back to the town with a small space ring filled with gold and Daedalus continued walking towards the center of the mana dense forest. Due to the density of the mana in the area a lot of the damage had already been repaired and the plants were regrowing, there was however no animals.
As he continued to walk Daedalus quickly came closer and closer to the mountains nearby. Daedalus had decided to go this way as he had been told that there was a small bandit group that stole from all that passed through the mountain pass. Sadly before he could reach the mountain pass it was already extremely late and Daedalus was tired due to the earlier fight with the flood dragon.
Daedalus then began taking out a tent and some other smaller camping equipment. With everything out Daedalus began setting up camp. It did not take long for the camp to be finished.
Daedalus then cooked up some wild beast meat he had hunted earlier, before the fight. Daedalus enjoyed his food while reading a book that he had been given not all that long ago by Danforth. The book was on cultivation and how it worked, all of the intricacies, everything.
To Daedalus understanding of the book the body had three locations that were significant to cultivation. One being the heart, the most important for mana cultivation. The second being just below the navel and having many names but usually known as the dantian, it is opened on the eighth stage of body refinement and it is what allows body refiners to progress further. The final part is a part of the brain known as the soul tether. Daedalus had not gotten as far in his soul strengthening as his other cultivations and so did not know much about that one.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
By the time he finished reading the book shallowly, it was the next morning. Daedalus dot up and stretched before he began putting his camping equipment away in his space ring. When he was done Daedalus began walking towards the mountain pass once more.
Arriving at the mountain pass Daedalus began walking through. As he reached around the mid point of the mountain pass someone suddenly shouted from above "Stop right there and drop all of your valuables!"
Daedalus looked up calmly, and began sizing up the strengths of each bandit.
