CHAPTER 13: CULTIVATION WORLD 2

Alita would read the book for a day and spent the next day practicing what she read the previous day. She kept on doing this repeatedly until she finally got it.

As for how much time had passed, she didn't know as she could just eat whenever she was hungry by taking the food from her storage space.

It took Alita one month to find a way to get out of this secret room to go back to the outside. She even found a way to come back to the secret room, so she didn't need to worry about not finding the place again. Whenever she gets out, she would cook a lot of food and store it in her storage space so that she won't waste time by going in or out frequently.

After studying the book for three months, Alita began to practice it outside as she tried her best to absorb as much spiritual energy as possible. She still had a very long way to go so hard work was needed.

Reading and practicing one book became very boring, so Alita decided to read other books at the same time to refresh her mind. In the end, Alita took a year to finally understand the beginner manual and she was now proficient in absorbing the spiritual energy. She could now be considered a cultivator since she was on that path.

She still has a long way to go and was looking forward to learning more and finding out what this secret room was holding for her. Alita was able to finish reading all the books in the secret room for two years leaving her just under one year to be in this secret small world. Alita was now in a hurry as she was desperate to find the inheritance she had been promised.

Luckily on the day she picked that old book from the shelf, another door opened, and right in front of her Alita was staring at three statues that looked a bit different.

Not to waste any more time, she walked towards them and began to scrutinize them seriously. The first statue on the right looked very good and righteous and beneath it was a note explaining that the manual she will get there belongs to the righteous side.

The one on the left side, was a bit hideous and scary and it belonged to the unorthodox side, the bad side, and this got Alita a bit interested. Who has the right to label who is good or bad?

The one in the middle was two-faced and this was the one that attracted Alita the most. This one was a bit complicated and whoever cultivates this can be considered to be both good and bad.

Alita knew that she had to make a decision, be good or bad but Alita had seen so many people who were labeled as good, and yet they were the most devious people in the whole world.

Some bad people carried the warmest hearts in the entire world so this was a difficult decision to make. Alita closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She began to think of the advantages and disadvantages of each type of inheritance.

She hated siding with anything so in the end after scrutinizing everything, she decided to follow her heart and accept her calling.

So, Alita placed her hand on that statue and a load of information was sent to her mind. The information overload was just too much that Alita blacked out for the second time in her life.

When Alita woke up, she was in her thatched hut and how she got there, she had no one to ask. She had been starving for a long time so she made some food first before looking at the manuals that were in her head.

After feeding herself, Alita sat cross-legged with her eyes closed and began to read or look closely at the first manual that was unlocked. Alita had picked the middle statue, the one that was both good and bad, so now she was reading on how she was going to do this. According to the manual, Alita after practicing it to a certain level will be able to practice any skill tome from any side.

This certain manual will help her conceal any aura, in other words to the whole world she will look like a mortal but only she herself will know just how strong she is and so on.

But before she starts practicing this complicated art, Alita had to bathe herself in a certain medical concoction for three months and take certain pills to make her body strong.

There were no pills for her so she was a bit worried about what this person was talking about. In the end, Alita was forced to return to the secret room to look for additional information but it was unfortunate that the door was no longer there.

She couldn't go into the other two doors as she was afraid of being labeled greedy and having all her hard work erased and her life forfeited. In the end, the upset Alita began to walk back while touching the wall as she hummed a song. As she was in the middle of lamenting about the hard work, she has to put in to be where she wanted to be, she heard a click sound and she stopped immediately.

The sound was from the back, so she turned around to look at where it came from and there where that door was supposed to be, the door to her secret room that disappeared, another door had appeared.

Alita didn't care about anything else at this moment and ran back to that door. Maybe something more was waiting for her and all she has to do was just grab it.

When she walked into the room, her eyes lit up as she looked at the room full of small bottles and was filled with the scent of medicine all over. She didn't need to be told by anyone that she was in the pill room.

Alita was so happy seeing all this and she didn't hesitate to clean up the whole room and placed all bottles in one of the storage slots. Luckily the bottles were labeled so she didn't need to worry about ingesting the wrong pill.

Alita happily left an empty room and didn't even feel her heart in pain at all. Since she was lucky enough to be here then it was right for her to take everything. At the end of the day, it didn't matter who gets the whole thing in the end. Since others could find this place sometime in the future, she will save them the trouble of killing themselves for the treasures and just take all of them.

Since the pills were here, she didn't believe there weren't any more goodies available too. She was going to find them sometime later but for now, she had a concealing art to practice.

With so much spiritual energy surrounding her, Alita was going to make use of this opportunity and return home a changed fermar.
