Recovery Part 2

Lex bought 10 Mortal Energy Circulating Pills for 100 points, which appeared in the inventory instantly.

The wondrous Eye System seemed to be capable of anything, and Lex made sure that he would investigate and find out its origin.

Taking a pill, as it dissolved, and he felt the warmth spread throughout his body, he could feel his energy seem to adapt to the warmth and become much easier to handle and less sluggish than before.

The Mortal Energy Circulating Pills would only have its effects for 24 hours and after that, his energy will return to how it was.

However, becoming reliant on these pills will make Lex's energy even more sluggish and may even eventually stop him from cultivating any higher.

Lex knew this, but still decided it was the right thing to do and he would be able to rectify it and make sure it doesn't happen again once he gained the Void Refinement method.

[I have all the knowledge about Canidae beasts within my mind, but I should scour through it all to make it part of my active thoughts] decided Lex.

All the information he had used the system to place within his mind, although was now stored in his mind and he could use it, it wouldn't be in his active memory, which was the knowledge that he was fluent with, unless he used it often or became familiar with the information.

Lex, unable to do anything else, sat on the bed with his back leaning against the wall, as he circulated his now more malleable energy and read through the information in his mind.

After a few hours, he felt that he was quite familiar with the information and his body was recovering very quickly with the weird cream and Lex circulating his energy, but one thing stood out to him.

[In the spring, large packs or tribes of Canidae beasts would collect as many young living females as they could before the peak of spring when they would feed alive to the women of the tribe.

Women have a stronger immune system to men, as they give birth, and with the Canidae beast's intelligence and natural instincts created a tradition within their race] recited Lex within his mind.

This made Lex really angry and for some reason, he felt some uneasiness and his gut and instincts were telling him that something bad has happened.

Currently, the only thing he had found in this reality that he cared about dearly was the orphanage and Angela, as he still hadn't found Ella and didn't even know if she would still feel the same way about him in this reality.

He was sat within the orphanage so nothing bad had happened so the only other is Angela who was also a young female.

As his thoughts and uneasiness correlated, he realised maybe Angela was taken by the Canidae beasts, and Lex had already guessed that his luck would run out and he couldn't always have good luck, which he had since his second start.

His body was still weak and injured and if he relied on absorbing energy from the atmosphere with his small amount of meridians opened and the energy being scarce anyway, it would take him too long to recover.

He had beast cores which he could get from the bodies of all the beasts he had, but he didn't want the old lady to see his inventory ability, and with her past, it was too dangerous.

Lex had been unconscious through the night and it was midday currently and from his calculations, it would be the peak of spring at sunset.

[I have the rest of the day to recover and I won't allow any harm to come to her in this reality] he stated within his mind as the short few weeks he had with Angela streamed through his mind, ending with her death.

Lex was seething with anger, frustration and helplessness, as he semi-cultivated in his sitting position and absorbed and streamed as much energy as he could within his body to recover as quickly as he could.

After 8 hours of consistent semi-cultivating, Lex finally opened his eyes and one could see a flame of determination in his eyes fuelled by emotion.

[I will defy this reality's fate] declared Lex as he jumped off his bed and headed out of his orphanage.

"Where are you going, you haven't completely healed yet" called out to him the old woman, who Lex ignored her and continued out of the orphanage.

Lex now still had a slim body, but his body was no longer skinny and malnourished like when he had transmigrated into this reality, but one could tell he was still in a slightly weakened state despite mostly healing.

Still, in the same ripped clothes he had on when he transmigrated, Lex's white hair fluttered as he rushed off towards the eastern Outer Aria Academy that Angela worked in as a nurse.

The guards outside recognised Lex and saw it as harmless to let him rush into the school, and wanted some entertainment, as Lex ran past them.

"Angela, Angela" called out Lex as he ran in the corridor towards the infirmary.

"It's that poor orphan again" scoffed a woman that worked with Angela.

"She didn't come into work today, which is unusual, she isn't here go look for her somewhere else" called out to him the woman in annoyance.

Lex felt as though her words were a blade that stabbed him in his chest.

He had no time to hesitate and he knew that everything was happening so quickly since he transmigrated and may have affected the speed and sequence of events in this reality.

[I'm coming Angela] he announced within his mind as he rushed off deeper into the slums looking for where the Canidae beast's lair or den was.
