5 Chapter 05 - Cultivate

A few days later...

'There are fifteen days until the sect exam... I have thirty Magic Crystals I took from the Grey Wolves and some other beasts... That'll give me an interesting amount of gold.' I thought Le Chang.

The Magic Crystals were amazing for cultivation, but at the time their Clan needed money, so he would save them.

They were valuable, in a small town like Huang Di City, a Level One Magic Crystal worth ten gold coins, there was the even rarer Level Two Magic Crystal and was worth at least thirty gold coins.

It must be said that the annual revenue of the Le Clan was 2,000 gold coins.

The Magic Crystals were expensive for their rarity, there were not many Magic Beasts around Huang Di City, so it took long and dangerous expeditions to get the Crystals.

The risk was worth it due to the great help in cultivation, but also in the forge of magical artifacts and pills.

The cave was pitch black, but due to the Essence of Dragon's Life in his body, Le Chang could see it as day.

He was in a fissure in the walls of the cave, sitting in lotus position and meditating.

A few hours later he woke up.

"Hmm, it looks like most of the wounds have been healed... Well let's keep hunting."

After fighting the Grey Wolf he had to wait two days healing his wounds until he could return to the battles.

As soon as it was to come out of the crack a bang occurred, followed by a menacing roar.

"Boy is a Level Two Magic Beast is a good test for you." I said a voice in your head.

"Wasn't your conscience dead?"

"I also thought it would disappear, but it looks like your body is special, I don't know how I managed to keep my consciousness alive inside your body."

"Do you have a name?"

"Hm... Call me Seiryuu."

I said, "All right."

Le Chang calmly went out and observed the area around him in search of the roar's source.

A Level Two Magic Beast was comparable to someone at the peak of the 7th Degree of the Integration Dao, there were few people in Huang Di City who would be comparable to a Magic Beast of this level.

Huang Di City was a small town in Zao State, the two strongest people were Le Chang's father, Le Shen who was in the 10th Degree of the Integration Dao and the Patriarch of the Du Clan who was also in the 10th Degree of Integration.

Le Chang ran to the top of a tree and spotted a huge ice snake.

"Frozen Fire Serpent." Said Seiryuu.

"Cold Fire?" - Le Chang

"She lets out some kind of fire, but instead of burning it freezes everything it touches. Be careful." - Seiryuu.

Le Chang was at the peak of the 4th Degree of the Integration Dao, but as his body was rebuilt he could expel Qi from his body even though he did not reach 5th Degree.

This advantage came from enormous suffering, the pain he went through to have his body reconstructed, by the Essence of a dragon's Life was outof.

Le Chang accumulated Qi until his hand was covered by a layer of Red Qi in the form of a dragon's claw.

The Icy Fire Serpent had already felt Le Chang's presence and quickly ran to him.

She was at least ten meters tall and the air around her emanatod a powerful cold aura.

The Magic Beast upon arriving a few feet from Le Chang quickly brought his tail, like a giant whip toward the tree he was in.

Jumping in time to see the tree crushed, Le Chang took breath and said with cold sweat on his forehead: "Quick."

The Serpent was too fast Le Chang could barely get close to her, she was too powerful, her tail caused tremors on the ground and opened cracks the size of an average adult.

"You possess the Essence of a Dragon's Life, it is the most powerful of the flames, why do you fear such an inferior being when you have the Inheritance of a Dragon God?" Seiryuu's voice went off in Le Chang's head.

"But I don't know how to use it..." - Le Chang.

"It is part of you, imagine it as an extension of your body, as a reserve of a powerful Qi and try to extract her power, if you can do that you will be able to fight this Magic Beast." – Seiryuu.

It would be suicide for Le Chang to fight her now, being in the 4th Degree of The Integration Dao the difference was three degrees. So he quickly retreated a few hundred meters, it was not yet time to face something of this level.

Although beasts, demons, and other beings have differences in cultivation, they all have a certain equality.

Low-Level Magic Beasts are instintive and absorb Qi from the atmosphere unconsciously, but there are High-Level Magic Beasts that possess cultivation techniques and intelligence equal to or even superior to humans.

"Go back to the fissure and use it to grow... Your goal is to understand at least a portion of my Inheritance for the remaining fourteen days... I'll only let you out of here if I can defeat that Frozen Fire Serpent." Said Seiryuu laughing and then shut up.

"He's right... I need to be superior to those around me... I always need to be two steps ahead of everyone." Said Le Chang with a determined look.

He returned to the fissure and sat in lotus position.

Using the Draconian Cultivation Technique: [The Path of the Dragon God], Le Chang began to try to feel the nuances of the power of Inheritance.

He had so far only meditated using Breathing Techniques, as his Clan lacked Cultivation Techniques.

Seiryuu told him to start farming at the right time.

He knew that in the face of a challenge Le Chang's potential would be raised to the maximum.

Although superficially Le Chang seems calm, inside a flame more powerful than the Essence of Life of a Dragon God, is called the Willpower.

He had squeezed the humiliations, the efforts of his parents and their failures and turned into fuel to overcome the adversities ahead of him.

"Wood feeds fire; the fire, through the ash, forms the earth; the earth generates metal; the metal melts and turns into water; and water feeds the wood... the fire melts the metal and it cuts the wood; wood invades the earth, which dams water; the water finally put out the fire." Le Chang repeated calmly.

His condition was of extreme concentration.

He had only fourteen days to learn something that would give him an insane power and he needed it to restore his honor, that of his parents and his Clan.

Ten days later...

'I doubt he'd make it, I'm going to keep him here training in the cave for a few years... It is impossible for him to learn the first part of the Supreme Cultivation Technique among dragons.' – Seiryuu.

At the end of his thought he turned his attention to Le Chang, simply to be astonished at what was happening around the young man.
