3 back to the city

"I broke through. level 4 Houtian in just a night." Ling Han said with a smile. At first, he wasn't used to absorbing energy and refining it, which took over 6 hours and which led to him wasting so much energy.

But now, he had gotten used to it. A simple bit of the apple took up to 3 hours to completely refine. Ling Han sat back down as he eats another apple. But after a few minutes, the sound of something sniffing was heard from outside the cave.

Ling Han's eyes opened as he quickly stood up. He quickly jumped up as he sighed. since he knew what demon beast was coming.

With a wave, he released all the poison into the cave to hid his smell before he went to hide by the side and waited for the demon beast to walk by.

A few seconds later, a demon beast with its nose on the ground walked by. Ling Han waved his hands down as a tree appeared in his hands. Slamming into the demon beast.

With a thought, the tree returned back into the sky poison pearl, as Ling Han raised his hands. as he brought his hands back down, the tree reappeared, slamming into the demon beast again.

Ling Han did this a few more times before he saw a crack appeared on the tree. Ling Han sighed softly as he looked at the demon beast.

It was on the blink of death. Ling Han looked at it for a second before killing it, then out it into the sky poison pearl, and returning to his cultivation.

He began eating apples to cultivate. And slowly, the night slowly disappeared. By the time he finished the two apples, the sun was high up in the sky, and his cultivation had reached level 5 Houtian.

Feeling his strength, Ling Han slowly stood up as he walked out of the cave.

'what to do? This place is dangerous. I should to return to cultivate then leave after I take another MC cheat.' Ling Han thought as he returned to eating the fruits.

In a blink of an eye. 2 weeks went by. and Ling Han cultivation has reached level 10 Houtian. he had eaten 15 apples, and only 13 golden apples remained, which he planned to sell.

Even if he ate them, this Apple was only able to help one reach the peak of Houtian. Ling Han reaching this level, had to go find more herbs or kill a powerful demon beast.

'just 1 level away from reaching Xiantian. then I can get a new cheat, after which I will return back to the city.' He thought as he walked out of the cave

He walked deeper into the forest as he closely looked at his palm. It didn't take long until his palm let off a soft green light.

Ling Han looked up, and far away, he saw a bush wall that had sharp thorns. Walking towards it, he saw man bones of demon beast around this much wall.

'...' Ling Han looked at this for a moment before throwing a corpse of the demon beast. He looked at the bush. suddenly vines shot out of the bushes, wrapping around the corpses and absorbing all the flesh, blood, and even energy from the corpse

"I see... bye." Ling Han said as he turned and left. He could tell this bush had gained consciousness. Demon beast was not the only reach with higher strength than humans.

Plants also were born with higher strength. And even had strength above demon beast. However, it is harder for plants to gain consciousness once they do. They will turn into dangerous lifeforms.

They were also harder to kill these plants. Cut them in half? They will reattach themselves or even regrow lost parts.

They could even grow faster by absorbing other life forms to grow faster than others. Ling Han didn't have any combat skills over weapons to fight that bush.

Ling Han knew his limits. Just because he had this system didn't mean he would push his luck.

Not wanting to stay in the forest anymore. Ling Han collected a few herbs around the forest. With his skills, he was able to change his appearance with these herbs

In a blink of an eye. He turned into an old man with a long white beard. He calmly walked towards the city entice with hands behind his back. As he approached it, he saw a few guards checking everyone who entered the city.

Before he could enter, Ling Han had to answer some questions before paying to enter. Ling Han didn't have spirit stones before he did have a golden apple.

After passing the one apple, they nodded as they stepped aside to allow him to enter. Ling Han went towards the Southside of the city, that's where the Ling clan was located along with other clans who were subordinate to the Cheng family.

The Cheng family was one of the main clans which governed the city.

Ling Han went on to enter the south side and went towards the Ling Clan. after some thought, he walked towards the medicine pavilion.

He planned to take every herb the clan had and to do that. He had to spread his name as the number one doctor in the world.

But before he could do that, he had to set a few things up first. The first thing he needed my spirit stones, walking into a herb store. He went on to show one golden apple.

"This is a pure golden apple, without any purity. how much." Ling Han asked calmly as he showered the worker the apple.

The worker looked at the apple for a few seconds, but after releasing that, Ling Han pulled this fruit out of nowhere. He asked Ling Han to wait before he rushed to ask an elder to come.

A slightly fat man walked out from the back as he sized Ling Han up and down. Ling Han looked at him for a few minutes before throwing the apple towards him. He had hidden his cultivation, so he had a hard time getting a read of him.

But as soon as he caught the apple, his heart almost popped out of his heart. Such a pear fruit, it was more than 5 times more better than before.

Eating this, one would not need to worry about unstable cultivation and many more. They could eat this to reach the peak of Houtian.

"how much." Ling Han asked with hands behind his back.

"100 ranks 1 spirit stone of the med grade." He said with a shaky voice. Ling Han thought for a moment before shaking his eat.

"200." Ling Han said Calmly.

"This..." the fat man froze for a while but nodded after taking a closer look at the apple.

"good." Ling Han nodded as he watched the fat man wave his hands as 200 spirit stones of the med grade fell to the ground. Ling Han waved his hands as all of these spirit stones disappeared.

After which, Ling Han turned to leave.

"wait, sir. where did you find this apple?" The man asked quickly, but Ling Han shook his head before leaving.

"follow him. capture him when you have the chance." He said through narrowed eyes as he looked at the fruit.

Ling Han went to a clothing store. As he shopped. he went to the changing room and changed his appearance before walking out with new clothing. This time, he looked like a middle-aged man with a thicc beard.

He calmly bought some clothes before leaving, leaving behind a group of people who were following him.
