6 Miraculous Aura Concealing Pill!
Ling Tian stood up and stretched his body. Even though he practiced all night without sleeping, Ling Tian was surprised to find that he wasn't feeling even a little bit tired, instead, he felt as if his body was filled with infinite energy!
"Status!"

"Description: You're the young master of the Lin Family. Even among all of the cultivators in this world you're considered a genius but you're still very far from being the best."
Ling Tian smirked when he noticed his new description and he suddenly had the desire to test his strength.
Ling Tian walked out of the small cave, his hands clenched into a fist, gathering the black and white colored yin-yang qi in his fists, Ling Tian punched towards a half a meter rock in front of him.
"Boom!" the sound of an explosion rang out and the half-meter rock in front of him was instantly shattered into pieces!
"Even though I'm only in the 4rth layer of the body tempering realm, my strength is already comparable to the 6th layer of body tempering realm!" Although Ling Tian knew that he has gotten stronger but it looks like he still underestimated himself!
He was extremely familiar with the strength of a 6th layer cultivator, after all, he had the memories of someone who used to be at the origin refining realm, that's why he knew very clearly how terrifying his strength was!
Only now did Ling Tian truly realize the true might of his cultivation technique! The yin-yang true qi was one of the highest quality true qi in this world and because of his divine veins, the density of his true qi also far exceeded others in the same realm!
Not to mention that his cultivation technique tempered his body as well, so his physical strength was also far stronger than others!
The combined effect of all these factors has allowed Ling Tian to jump levels to challenge stronger opponents!
After he was done testing his strength, Ling Tian took a deep breath and the fresh air of the morning entered his lungs.
When he observed the forest around him his vision was filled with tall green trees and the dewdrops on the grass were reflecting the sunlight. He had to admit that this forest was indeed very beautiful but Ling Tian was also aware of the dangers hidden beneath this beauty.
"grumble"
Suddenly Ling Tian felt his stomach rumbling, he realized that he hasn't eaten anything since yesterday.
"system, find something to eat for me." Just as Ling Tian's voice faded, a notification screen appeared in his mind.
"There's a [golden horned rabbit] with a cultivation of 3rd layer, Body Tempering Realm 50 meters in the east from the host!"
"There's a vine of [scarlet sun fruits] 90 meters in the north from the host!"
"There's also a [Saber tooth crimson tiger] with a cultivation of....."
Ling Tian wasn't even a little bit surprised when he saw that that even the beasts around him also had a cultivation base, Just like humans, there were countless other beings in this world who could walk on the path of cultivation.
These fierce beasts around him were also such creatures, although they were incapable of developing spirituality, they could still cultivate.
Notification sounds kept ringing in Ling Tian's mind in a continuous stream and in just a few seconds, he acquired the information about every single living being present in a radius of 100 meters around him. He didn't want to take any risks so he decided to hunt the rabbit since it was the least dangerous.
Ling Tian moved through the tall green trees as the gentle wind caressed his face, the chirping of birds entered his ears from time to time, the forest appeared to be very peaceful but Ling Tian never relaxed his vigilance.
Even though his pace was slow, it didn't take long for him to arrive at his destination and he could see a rabbit that was around half a meter in length in front of him.
Its whole body was covered with snow-white fur, it had light red eyes with a golden Colored horn on its forehead.
Looking at the innocent creature in front of him, he couldn't help but feel complicated for a while.
After all, he was someone who has been struggling for years just so he could avoid that eternal rest one called death.
Even the most expensive luxuries of the world would become worthless if you were dead.
What heaven, what hell. To you, they would be no different than baren wastelands if you cannot experience them.
What meaning did this world even have if he was not even there in it. To him, a world where he was not alive was no different than a world that has been destroyed.
That was how valuable life was.
Yet now he had no choice but to deprive the life of another to save his own.
But he knew that it was necessary, every inch of this forest was filled with dangers just waiting devouring him anytime, if he failed to maintain his peak condition then he would never be able to make it out alive.
"Please forgive me."
Those three words of apology was all he could utter to suppress the guilt in his heart.
After making sure that the rabbit was not paying attention to him, he got on his toes and quietly approached the rabbit from behind. But just as he was one meter away from his prey, it suddenly turned its head and looked in his direction.
Ling Tian was immediately startled thinking that the rabbit would run away after seeing him, but he was surprised to find that it didn't even notice him, it once again turned its back to Ling Tian and continued looking for food.
The rabbit's actions once again reminded Ling Tian of the aura concealing pill, heaving a sigh of relief let go of all reservation and quickly grabbed the rabbit's neck from behind.
Being grabbed from behind scared the rabbit and it started struggling vigorously, but it was still too weak after all, no matter how hard it struggled it failed to escape Ling Tian's grasp.
The rabbit's desperate struggle only added to Ling Tian's already building up guilt, his hands trembled and his eyes flickered with some hesitation but soon his expression turned resolute!
With the intention of not making the rabbit suffer any longer, Ling Tian resolutely clenched its neck and the rabbit stopped moving soon after.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a third layer body tempering realm [Golden horned rabbit], you gained 3 Heaven-defying points"
"It has been noticed that this was your first kill since you arrived in this world hence a small [Gift] is rewarded to the host, would you like to open it?"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining a [dark steel sword]"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining high-level profound grade martial arts [Flowing wind swordsmanship."
Ling Tian just stood on his spot, motionless like a statue with eyes that seemed lost in the ocean of thoughts, completely ignoring the sound ringing in his mind.
Finally after a few minutes his gaze regained it's clarity. Ling Tian closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths in order to calm himself down.
The act of taking a life, however insignificant it may have been, affected him more than he ever imagined but at the same time he it also taught him an important lesson.
Only now did he realise that weakness was a sin!
Just like how he took this rabbit's life so that he could live, If he was weak then sooner or later he'll end up becoming stepping stone of someone stronger than himself.
And when he thought about it, wasn't humanity also just like this little rabbit? They lived carelessly thinking everything was fine, only to one day lose everything they had in the face of an irresistible foe.
If not for the system, his fate also would have been the same.
Thinking of this, Ling Tian calmed down and slowly opened his eyes. On the surface, it appeared as if he was the same as before but deep down, something seemed to have changed.
In the depth of his dark pupils, there was a new determination, or should I say, a sudden enlightenment, it appeared small yet carried a huge significance, that cleared away all of the complex emotions that filled his heart.
From then on, Ling Tian had a newfound respect for life, but at the same time his desire to survive and become stronger grew even greater.
He vowed in his heart to never harm an innocent life for his own benifit unless absolutely necessary but he won't hesitate to cut the weeds from its roots if someone dared to harm him.
He would still keep moving forward, with his destination unchanged but the path he takes shall be determined by him alone!
Some might say he was naive and he was being delusional, but this was the way he wished to live.
After sorting out the various thoughts rising in his mind, Ling Tian brought his attention to the items that he just recieved from the system.
'I can finally practice martial skills!"
Even though there were some martial skills in his predecessor's memory but the problem was that all of them were sword skills, and since he didn't have any swords he couldn't practice them.
Now that he had more means to save his life, his chances of survival would increase even further!
Thinking of this he decided to not delay any longer and quickly made his way back to the cave after storing the Golden horned rabbit in his system's space.
