Ye Tian Yun returned to his cultivation chambers and put the Qi Strengthening pills in front of him, and one by one started to take them, taking his time in absorbing the pills.
To create a Qi Strengthening pill, a High-Grade Level 1 Alchemist is needed, who has established his Pill Fire to a very stable level and has a cultivation level of Peak Qi Condensation Realm.
Qi Strengthening pills are one of the lower grades of pills, easily available in the Middle Heavens. However, these pills should be taken with care, and no more than two should be absorbed when a cultivator breaks through, or else there is a high chance of Qi deviation. These pills are very potent against Qi and increase the Qi flow intensity throughout the body.
However, Ye Tian Yun had already taken four pills by now and was excitedly absorbing more pills, not caring about any Qi Deviation. Every prompt of the System made him excited about this situation.
[Host has absorbed Qi Strengthening pills, received 2 Kill Points]
[Host has absorbed Qi Strengthening pills, received 1 Kill Points]
[Host has absorbed Qi Strengthening pills, received 2 Kill Points]
[Host has absorbed Qi Strengthening pills, received 3 Kill Points]
…
…
'System, why is it that the Kill Points I am receiving uneven this time? Last time I was constantly receiving only 1 Kill point.'
[Host, Kill Points received depends on your absorption rate, the harder you work, the luckier you get]
'I am absorbing at a constant rate. I am not slacking at all.'
[Host, please focus on cultivation, doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment]
'Uh…'
Ye Tian Yun returned back to his absorption. After absorbing about three dozens of Qi Strengthening pills, he finally for the prompt he was waiting for.
[Host has accumulated 100 Kill Points, would you like to break through any cultivation techniques?]
'Status'
[Status]
[Host: Ye Tian Yun]
[Kill Points: 109/10000]
[Cultivation: 1st Level of Qi Stabilization]
[Cultivation Techniques: One Sword for all (Initial Phase), Thousand Faced Death (Initial Phase)]
'Show me the cultivation techniques.'
[Techniques]
[One Sword For All (Initial Phase) (0/100)]
[One Sword resonates in the Heavens. One Sword to devour the Heavens. One Sword to create the realms. One Sword to ascend. One Sword For All]
[Thousand Faced Death] (Initial Phase) (0/100)
[ One life, thousand deaths. One cultivation, thousand realms. One person, thousand faces.]
As the new screen appeared in front of him, he knew what he had to choose. Currently, he was levelling himself up and cultivating so he could safely dupe the hidden guards outside. With a smirk, he said, "Level up Thousand Faced Death!"
[Congratulations, Host! Your cultivation technique, Thousand Faced Death has reached the Middle Phase.]
[Remaining Kill Points: 9]
'Hash.. finally, everything is set. Let's absorb the remaining pills and get ready for the Lower Heavens.'
He went on to absorb all the pills. If anyone else were to see this scene, he would have fainted just with a single glance. No one dared to take more than two Qi Strengthening pills, and here, Ye Tian Yun had gobbled dozens of pills in mere hours.
"I have finally finished them. And also reached the Middle Phase in Thousand Faced Death." Ye Tian Yun felt quite pleased. He jumped down from his bed, and as he walked around, he sized up his body.
Previously, it took him two years to get to the Middle Phase; however, with the help of the System, he broke through earlier, and this will help him a lot in his upcoming journey.
"This is a powerful feeling. Endless amounts of Qi is surging into my body, as though it was going to break through my body."
Ye Tian Yun tightly clenched his fist, and he felt that the explosive power in his body was worth the suffering he had last night, absorbing the tasteless pills over and over dozens of times.
He then looked up and thought, 'Status.'
[Status]
[Host: Ye Tian Yun]
[Kill Points: 72/10000]
[Cultivation: 1st Level of Qi Stabilization]
[Cultivation Techniques: One Sword for all (Initial Phase), Thousand Faced Death (Middle Phase)]
'Hmm… I thought if I neared the100 Kill Point mark, I would make Butler Liu bring some more Qi Strengthening pills, but 38 Kill Points… that would mean at least one more day. And I also need that… System, can I access the shop?'
[Shop]
[Medicinal Pills]
[Cultivation Techniques]
[Weapons]
[Fate]
'Hmm? Fate? I can buy fate!?'
[Host, you can not buy fate. System's Shop has a part of Heaven's Will. It can prophecize your Fate]
'Oh? And how much Kill Points do I need for that?'
[100K Kill Points for Prophecy on next 24 hours]
'Uh.. nevermind. Do you have any pill which can copy someone's aura?'
[Aura Replication Pill: 30 Kill Points]
[Touch this pill on the forehead of the target and then on your forehead, for the next 24 hours, you will have exact same aura as the target]
'24 hours hmm?... That should be enough… and do you have any sleeping pill?'
[Dreamscape pill: 10 Kill Points]
[Makes the target fall in deep slumber for seven days, and when he wakes up, he has no memories of the last day. It can be used as smoke. Users are strictly cautioned to use them carefully. One breath and it's a week-long bedtime]
'Yeah… I should be careful with this thing. System, buy these two pills for me.'
[Purchase Successful. No Inventory available. Would Host like to buy an inventory to keep everything safe?]
'...Why don't you just give it to me? I have a spatial ring.'
[Request denied]
'...You shouldn't loot from a poor Prince.'
[...]
'Alright, how much does it cost.'
[Only 25 Kill Points for one month Hundred Space Inventory]
'Only…? AH! Buy it! I don't even have any other choice.'
[You have made the right choice, Host]
Ye Tian Yun ignored the last line, walked out of his room, and shouted, "Butler Liu! Come here, fast!"
