Chapter 230: Two Month
Tang Yin had nothing to do right now but cultivate. And since a month had already passed, he decided to look for the most powerful beasts that he could use his family's array with, so he ran around while hunting spirit beasts.
This time, he visited one of the mountains with the most beasts nearby, and within an hour, he managed to get a large amount of fifth-realm spiritual beasts that would work very well for him. And a while later, he was quietly cultivating as his cultivation slowly and steadily increased.
Hours later, he started running through the forest again while collecting corpses and completing some quests for the quest table.
From the seventh level, he was able to advance a full level to the eighth level with the beasts he recently consumed, the problem is that now he won't be able to do so for a few months, so he had to cultivate in another way.
That's where the wonder of the system comes in...
The first mission he completed was to assassinate 25 Black Panthers of the fourth realm and grant the entire body to the system, and this gave him 10% of his cultivation.
The second one he took was to assassinate 10 Green Python, which gave him another 10%.
And after one month, Tang Yin managed to reach half of the eighth level.
Hunting specific spiritual beasts requested by the system was not as easy as he thought.
Because he must hunt for only one type of spiritual beast, it took him a long time to complete only 5 quests that granted him 10% of his cultivation.
And now...
'I have no more quests...' He thought to himself, sitting on the branch of a tree, looking at the night sky.
Missions are not unlimited, and although he has missions to complete, they are missions that, right now, he can't do.
'Well, I'll have to increase the aptitude level of my new spiritual bone. Let's see if I have any luck from tomorrow.' Tang Yin thought and then went to sleep.
From the next morning and for several days, Tang Yin began to increase the degree of aptitude of his new spiritual bone while testing his new ability...
But, unfortunately...
Snakes are limited.
So, despite spending several days, he managed to do almost nothing.
'I shouldn't have killed those 10 earlier...' Tang Yin thought pitifully as he finished synthesizing the last snake he was able to catch.
He only managed to find 6.
"Maybe if I had converted those 10 into an aptitude for my spiritual bone, I would have increased the cultivation more..." He said as he tapped the snake's lifeless body a few times.
Still, soon, he could only stand up and lament his misfortune in his mind, but just then, someone spoke behind him.
"Boy, what are you doing talking to a corpse?" A beautiful voice asked...
"AHH!" Tang Yin shouted in fright and jumped to the side to look at who it was and put his hand to his head.
"Master, could you please stop appearing out of nowhere?" Tang Yin asked in frustration after being startled, and she smiled graciously.
"Hahaha, boy, your reaction is so funny, hahaha." Shi Yue started to giggle a little, and her voluptuous body moved captivatingly, making Tang Yin speechless, but despite the smile she was having, Tang Yin noticed something else about her.
"Master, you look worried, did something happen?" he asked as he approached her, slightly surprising her.
She then returned to her normal aptitude, but this time she didn't avoid the topic like before.
"Nothing interesting, just that the sect might not participate in the battle of the great sects." She replied, and Tang Yin was surprised by this.
"Why?" he asked doubtfully.
"They changed the rules, we're not qualified. So, you won't be able to see your beautiful lady anytime soon." She replied smiling, and then moved slightly closer to him...
"Does it hurt?" she asked softly with a smile on her face, clearly teasing him.
But Tang Yin simply shrugged his shoulders.
"No, it doesn't hurt. If I can't see her that way, I'll create a way I can see her, don't underestimate me." He replied firmly, and she smiled slightly.
But she soon frowned as she tried to understand what he meant and looked at him.
"What do you mean?" she asked doubtfully, and Tang Yin didn't answer. He just shrugged his shoulders.
But this was answer enough for her, so she immediately grabbed him by the shoulders.
"I'm telling you, Tang Yin, don't even think of doing something crazy. No, it's not telling you, this is an order from your master. You must listen to me." She said firmly, and Tang Yin glared at her.
"I'm not planning anything, what are you worried about, master?" he asked smiling, and she stared at him for a moment...
The moment dragged on, and soon, it was several minutes until she looked away in frustration.
'Tsk, who sent me to look for a disciple.' She thought with annoyance to herself, but in the end, she sighed exaggeratedly and grabbed Tang Yin by the hand, disappearing from the place soon after.
She let go of him as soon as she reached the foot of a huge mountain.
Even Tang Yin was surprised by its size.
Once they arrived here, Shi Yue threw a cultivation technique at him.
"Don't open it, listen to me first." She said and then began to speak.
"Tang Yin, you must stop being so dependent on your tricks to fight. You have enough power to crush your opponent and you must always seek that method of fighting. Your current way of fighting is not worthy of holding a hammer like yours." Shi Yue said, making Tang Yin feel a little doubtful.
"What do you mean, Master?" he asked doubtfully.
"It's simple, you usually use tricks and your experience to fight against your opponents, when you can perfectly smash them with one blow. I understand that you don't want to show your hammer, but even with your spear or with your sword you have powerful attacks to crush them, but you don't.
You simply prefer to use tricks and different ways of attacking, with the aim of not showing too much of your power."
"That doesn't make sense. If you do that, you could eventually die. Because there are a lot of people out there who will be waiting for you to use that method to crush you before you can show your full potential. If you keep fighting like that, that will happen sooner or later and it will be too late to turn back."
"Besides, your spiritual energy is of destruction attribute and you are looking for spiritual bones to destroy, do you know what that means?" she asked and looked at him.
He frowned slightly but did not respond.
She then spoke again.
"It means that you must seek to destroy your rival, do not deceive yourself and your spiritual energy. Become what you want to be, but do it the right way."
"Destruction, do you know what it means?"
"It is elimination. This must be employed in the right way and although you have a lot of knowledge about it, you don't know how to employ it in the best way on yourself." She said and stopped to look at him.
"Open the technique." She said at that moment, and Tang Yin obediently opened it.
He was a little surprised to see it, 'Eternal Night Occultation Technique?' He thought in shock and looked up to look at Shi Yue doubtfully.
"Destruction and occultation don't normally go hand in hand, so I understand your hesitation. But you have the potential to learn it, don't you? The potential to be a master of everything. That being the case, I want to teach it to you. Your versatility is good, but not enough. Your handling of your spiritual energy is clumsy and so you don't understand how to get the most out of your destruction."
"And there is nothing better than the delicacy of occultation, to improve the handling of spiritual energy."
"That's why I'm going to pass it on to you. The best occultation technique on the continent. I hope you won't disappoint me." She said smiling, and Tang Yin, though confused, nodded slightly.
'Even I hadn't heard the name of this technique before...' Tang Yin thought but decided to send his thoughts deep into his mind and focus on Shi Yue, who started talking again.
"It will be a two-month training, just the time Little Lixue asked me for. So, I will explain the details to you." She said and soon began her explanation...
