Chapter 3

Kyle stepped in front of the bathroom mirror after washing the smell of everything what happened, to get a better look at himself after changing in some proper Daoist Robes distributed by the academy for the time before entering, he noticed the changes on his Face and body, even under Cultivator Standard he would be considered very good looking and well build. That means really something as Cultivators body get Purified by qi making them more Good looking and formed, that when you take two people with one slightly less good looking, then the less good looking one would once having started cultivating would become from slightly less good looking to much more good looking than the previous better looking one.

Coming outside he saw Lisa waiting, while holding two bags filled with ration just the right size that the only restrict their movement by a small amount. Getting on the way to the demonic forest he finally asked Lisa where Luis was as he usually doesn't leave her side as the two got only there foster parents beside themselves.

"Luis Earth Bull martial spirit had undergone a rare mutation which only happens to one out of one Million people and it turned into a Berserker Mountain Bull a Middle Earth grade Martial Spirit and was Taken as a Personal Disciple of one of the mountain shattering sects inner sect elder, which took him directly to the sect when they left." Lisa answered just before they discovered there first beast not far inside, in the Outer arrear of the outskirts of the Forrest.

A Boar like Beast at the second Layer of the Body Tempering Realm which Lisa wanted to take care of before it would wake up, Kyle Stopping her from Attacking by grabbing her arm before she could go. "Wait Lisa let me Deal with it! I want to try out my strengh after becoming a Cultivator."

"Are you crazy Kyle! Beast are at least 1 realm stronger Compared to us humans because of their from nature out stronger and it is already a realm above you meaning its strengh is comparable to a the 3 Layer Body Tempering Cultivator!" 

"Please trust me? I won't do anything that I won't be able to deal with, I have the feeling that I won't have a problem dealing, nothing will happen to me." Quickly placing a kiss on her cheek after finishing to speak. Turning slightly reds she told him " Fine, but the Moment I something goes wrong I will intervene and you will never challenge beast above your own Cultivation if you can avoid it, understood?"

"Understood my Love." Not waiting any longer he run towards the sleeping boar he launched a palm strike using his Universe suppressing palm, while accelerating using his Void Steps which considerably boosted his speed and strengh even though he barely started understanding them.

The boost was great enough to turn the beasts head into meat paste upon impact before the beast could even lift its head after waking up after sensing him approaching. Leaving Lisa standing at the side with her mouth agape while looking at him in disbelief. As Kyle walked Back to Lisa he could hear her stuttering "How is this Possible this punches strengh was equal to the mid-6th Layer. Just how?" 

" My body was immensely more powerful already after I woke up." While shrugging his shoulders trying not to raise any unnecessary suspicion, as his palm technique looked similar to the schools sun suppressing palm, while his void steps where very similar to the basics of many movement techniques so the would at least not any suspicion about his abilities.

As he wanted to get going Lisa stopped him and began explaining what they should do before going while pulling a small dagger out of her bag. "You may not know about it, but during trainings excursions here in the demonic Forest we learned that we need to dig out the Beast core in the hearth and extract the blood essence from the spine, which can be exchanged for Resourced at the sects resources and as sect disciples for merit points which can be exchanged for better resources." While explaining Lisa cut open the boars chest and cut open the heart and made a cut between the Vertebral bones of its spine before putting the dagger away and in the same movement pull out an empty bottle to catch the Thick like mercury scarlet red glittering blood essence, slowly gathering to a drop on the cut his Chaos seed suddenly stretched out of his body with him unable to stop it, it moved in an instant to the open heart and the cut in the spine where it entered and a flow of energy appeared within it before it retracted it left a small string of itself on Lisa while returning.

Once it retracted it quickly refined and purified the extracted Energy before the energy was split by it to 15 equal parts before it began distributing it.

1 Piece was distributed to each of his other Martial spirits, 1 stayed in the Chaos seed and Three Flowed to his sun which quickly spat out one small sun and the Last piece flowed through the string created by it to Lisa, which if they could see it would see it splitting in half with one part entering her Martial spirit which opening another Petal and the other entering her Dantian from where it began being send everywhere pushing her Boddy refinement forward, which allowed her to Breakthrough her bottleneck in her cultivation she was stuck at for month in an instant allowing her to break out into the early 7th Layer leaving her chocked about her sudden break out.

"Kyle how did you? With this kind of ability it is probably even better than a heaven grade Martial spirit in case of cultivation especially with such a high grade of Purification on the qi even if it doesn't have the fighting capabilities of one, but just absorbing Qi from blood essence and the beast core to advance peoples cultivation would probably raise it on equal terms to one in case of cultivation talent. Promise me that you don't reveal this ability or many people will start targeting you for it if you do it.

"I promise. I also thing like this should be better kept hidden as long I have nobody and nothing backing me up."

Lisa still checked if something of its core remained, but it was nothing remained of it she started giving Kyle a deeper explanation of some information she was sure of he didn't know as it was from classes he wasn't allowed to attend without possessing a Martial spirit.

"Kyle for the Future it's important for you to know that every Living creature have Blood Essence which controls the speed of stamina recovery and recovery of injuries. Even minutes after Death the blood essence begins Losing its energy if not stored in proper bottles. So let's try with the next one if you can absorb them if these thing aren't inside of the Body anymore, you can increase your cultivation Rapidly by purchasing huge amounts of them as in our province isn't a high demand for them as each sect has one or Two Alchemist at most with a few Apprentices each year unlike other provinces who have more proper alchemist in there province.

Around every few years one cultivator becomes an Alchemist who steps above the apprentice level, as the Condition for doing so are very Harsch as to become one a Fire Martial Spirit or a Martial Spirit with a fire Ability are needed to heat the Cauldron and Purify the herbs by burning the herbs impurities and needed to extract the medical Properties and mold them together into a pill and The second thing is Mental strengh, everyone might have it but the amount each person has is different. The Average person has 1 point and an alchemist needs at least 10 points to make even the weakest kind of pill and it's very hard to increase it even by using proper techniques as its related to the soul where even the smallest mistake could turn one into a vegetable. So there isn't a high consumption in cores like in other provinces with greater amounts of alchemists, since in our not many have Talent in mental strengh.

Not long after Lisa finished her explanation, they had already spotted a new target. This time it was a snake like beast also in the second Layer of Body Tempering slithering through the thicket, but this time Lisa took action and killed it using her moon suppressing palm which is a for woman adapted version of the sun suppressing palm, as yin based Techniques Aline better with the physics of Woman. Even then she showed an amazingly high mastery in it as a slight oppressing force bearing down on the beast rendering it unable to move showing her technique had reached the peak of the second Level which only 7 people in the school have reached and only the principle having reached the early Level 3 which is the final level of the technique showing a great Comprehension abilities as most people of their school would never even reach that level. She shattered the beast body in an instant before telling him to stay there where he was, she quickly went to the corpse to extract the Blood Essence and Beast core, she brought it over to Kyle.

Kyle quickly activated his Chaos seed which quickly enveloped both items in Lisas hands, he also directly attached a string to Lisas arm while his Martial spirit absorbed it completely after it was done, it distributed just as before it split in 15 parts it was distributed like before. That part that flowed to Lisa allowed her to increase her cultivation even though she didn't broke through again.

Smiling that it worked Like she thought, she brought him on a mad hunt gathering beast cores and blood essence planning to raise both of their cultivation as much as possible before the leave to the sects, they went looking for save place to absorb them as they got closer to the Inner area of the forest and there bags where full, as it is too dangerous to absorb it in the open, they slayed a beast at the peak 7th layer Body tempering realm with some effort before they blocked the entrance using some bigger boulder standing in the cave and placed the gathered resource's down and he started absorbing it quickly only taking a few minutes.

Having gained a total of 360 string of qi he transferred 24 strings of Qi to Lisa and kept 336 Qi string to, having this time full control over the distribution, his Chaos seed gave him an advise on how he should distribute them giving him certainty about his Chaos seed martial spirit must be like an inherent martial spirit which are inherited and can when the user of the martial spirit reach an unimaginable level and die, there origin fuses into the martial spirit and descendants of the same family can awaken the martial spirit in certain cases as a sentient Martial spirit which can guide them to some extent.

Qi Gathering realm Cultivator Can only use there Martial spirit to absorb and refine Qi into True Qi but not infuse it into the Martial spirit and can only infuse there True qi which only boost the Martial spirits Ability for a short period of time and if they still try infusing Qi into their Martial Spirit only causes damage to it, which is hard to heal he still planned on following the advice of it.

[Cultivation Technique: Primordial Universe Creation (Peak Primordial) Early Level 1 [Can't be changed]]

[Techniques: Universe Suppressing Palm(High Primordial) Early Level 1, Void Steps (Low Primordial) Early Level 1]

He distributed 33 Qi strings to the Fire (ungraded), Water (ungraded), Earth (ungraded),Wood (ungraded), (ungraded) Wind (ungraded), Brocken Cauldron (ungraded), Celestial spark (Low Seed) , Draconic Lizard (Low Spirit) Martial spirits and his Chaos seed Martial spirit(Monarch) as it advised and began using the Remaining 39 strings to Cultivate.

Fully Focused on Circulating his Cultivation technique he began absorbing the Qi strings one after another, he didn't notice the changes happening inside of him during his Cultivation.

Slowly injecting the Qi strings into his Main sun with his Cultivation, after absorbing the first string the third sun got spat out, continuing he absorbed as followed for each new sun to appear 3, 4, 5, 6 , 7, 8 he got a total of 9 Suns just one short of reaching the Peak of the First Layer his strengh still reached the 7th Layer, he wanted to refine the last traces of the last qi string when his concentration was disturbed by error noises generated by the system he stopped circulating his technique and began opening his eyes, he got startled by Lisas face hanging right infrontof his ownwas just a few centimeter from his own.

 "Why did you not Breakthrough through second layer, the amount of Qi was Larger than mine and I broke through from early 7th Layer to the Peak of 8thth Layer crossing more than one minor realm, while you did not cross one with a much larger amount of Qi.

" It must have something to do with my Cultivation Technique."

"Kyle don't you cultivate the Solar Breathing technique, it should need the same amount of qi as my Lunar Breathing Technique so why should it cause your high qi consumption and not something else?."

"No I cultivate a different one which I obtained from my martial spirit right after awakening it, which is thousands of times more profound than any technique we ever learnt of, but only I can cultivate it above the body tempering realm as my martial spirit is needed for it to advance above the body tempering realm."

"Your Martial spirit even has a inherit Technique, it is truly a godly Martial spirit. But Lets plan what we do now on, I think we should keep the entrance blocked and stay the night here and continue tomorrow with hunting and for now not enter to deeper parts of the inner area until our strengh rises to the qi gathering realm or it gets to dangerous?"

"your right, Let's do it like this this."

Both of them got some more of the bigger boulders standing in the cave an pushed them also in front of the entrance to make sure no beast could easily enter while they slept. Lying down in each other's arm Lisa quickly fell asleep before he final opened his system to Look at the Error Notification.

In Disbelief he looked at the change in grade of the Martial spirit he quickly visualized them and carefully observed them, showing a great difference in power to from before.

Having checked them he just shut his eyes and directly fell asleep almost instantly as he was very exhausted and later awoke to some sunlight breaking through the holes between the boulders blocking the entrance, while Lisa was still using his chest as a pillow still sleeping.

After he observed her beautiful face for some time he carefully woke her up with a kiss to her forehead. A few minutes later she got up from Kyle a bit unwilling, but she knows well they couldn't waste time as the more the stand out during their entrance the more resources they could get allocated, which would be important for their Future cultivation.

After eating some of their rations they had brought as breakfast, they left the cave and got back outside to continue hunting.

Over the day there teamwork got better and better as they tried to attack together to become more efficient while expending the least amount of energy while hunting and train there techniques with the least amount of risk during the fight.

At the End of the Day there teamwork got good enough to kill an peak Body Tempering With only a bit effort, while only suffering some injuries in the process, but luckily nothing worser they still needed to search for a spot to rest and recover as a certain amount of injuries had accumulated.

There gains for the day where so great that Kyle Absorbed everything 5 times to get space to gather more.

Having Found another safe cave hidden behind some bushes they first treated each other's injuries before he absorbed there last gaining he distributing a gain of 1.774 Qi strings, he wanted to Transfer Half to Lisa but she stopped him after he had transferred 400 Qi strings with the reason that he needed to increase his realm before entering the sect to not become a handyman disciple who doesn't receives any resources until he becomes an outer disciple, so because of his consumption he should keep the rest.

Kyle Wanting to negotiate Lisa quickly shut him and threatened him with not speaking with him for the rest of the days if he doesn't keep them for himself.

Having given up on giving her more he used all for cultivation. After absorbing 3 he competed the tenth sun he consumed 22 to form the 11th sun his aura rapidly strengthened after breaking through the 2nd Layer, his strengh reached the peak of the 9th Layer, he just continued to cultivate 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 reaching the 20th sun his strengh finally broke early qi gathering realm 1th layer showing the huge disparity between major realms, when suddenly the surrounding Qi became restless he stopped cultivated and opened his eyes to find the origin of the disturbance in the Qi, only seeing Lisa in the middle of the disturbance breaking through to the Qi gathering realm, he saw very huge amounts of black goo coming out of her skin indicated she is about to complete the last part of her breakout, refining her first string of true qi which is the most important step of truly stepping in the Qi gathering Realm as it is the easiest time to purify the true qi, the refinement limit is set by the technique but as she is using the Qi strings provided by his chaos seed she only need to keep her body's impurities from invading the Qi string during the refinement process until its complete allowing it to go above the limit of purity of her Technique.

Seeing everything being ok he returned to his own Cultivation and quickly Breaking through to the third Layer after consuming another 44 strings and continued 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 74, 78 and with another 82 he broke through to the 4th Layer with great effort before he needed to stop cultivating as his body couldn't cope with the stress from his rapidly increasing cultivation, his strengh reached the Peak of the first Layer of Qi gathering when looked just at physical strengh as Qi Gathering Cultivator can use Qi to enhance strengh and technique by consuming there true qi making it almost impossible to beat another human with the Physical strengh of that Layer of Cultivation and Beasts Physical advantages only increases in each major realm keeping their dominance in the same cultivation realm.

After having solidified his cultivation for some more time he opened his eyes and stood up he started observing Lisa again, he tried something he never tried Before, he used the Systems Analyze Function on her.

[Lisa Snow]

[Realm: middle 1th layer Qi Gathering]

Somewhat expected more information from it than this so he could only wait for her to wake up to ask her about her progress, just waited until the hard shell consisting off the black goo from before having hardened all over her body exploded off her in all direction when she woke up from her cultivation.

Quickly dodging the flying pieces of the goo shell, he was enchanted by Lisas new appearance, her skin white as snow and her proportion became more pronounced letting her look like a fairy. Mesmerized frozen in place looking at Lisa's body and only unfroze after Lisa approached him and spoke to him while waving her hand in front of his face. "Why are you looking like you have seen a ghost?"

"I'm sorry I was just to mesmerized by your appearance that I froze in Place from shock over your beauty."

"you don't need to give me such compliments we are already a together"

"It wasn't just a complement, it was really what happened, if I had a mirror I would let you see it for yourself."

"I can take a look when we get back, but now I want to find out what's calling me and before you ask and we waste time, I don't know what it could be just that I need to go there from where the calls came from. Let's go."

Kyle wanted to stop Lisa from running towards something unknown, because of a weird call that appears out of nowhere, could just be a trap of some evil Cultivator.

He hastily followed up behind her, to not lose her in the dense parts of the Forest prepared for the worst scenario. Following right behind her going deeper and deeper into the Forest until Lisa disappeared right in front of him, nowhere to be seen before he himself passed through an invisible membrane coming to an fast stop in front of a wall unlike Lisa who had hit the wall at full speed causing a bit of blood to seep out of her nose, which she quickly wiped away.

Kyle quickly helped her up, before looking at his surrounding, a corridor leading to an gate both made of a white shining material giving of a slight coldness with all kinds of engravings giving of an powerful and ancient aura.

"Are you okay"

"Yeah I'm fine, just some bruises."

"We should quickly find a way out of here"

"No Kyle we are very close, I'm sure what is calling me is just behind the gate at the end of the Corridor."
