Death… And Me

Chapter 219 - Back To The Forest



Chapter 219 - Back To The Forest

Rean bent down to take the note.

-Congratulations, you now have an Electrical Formations Repository. You can find everything about it in this place. The higher the level, the more knowledge will be available. Please access the System for more details.-

Right below, there was another small piece of information.

-Number of articles available in the System: 01-

"System? Are there no books?"

It was then that Rean noticed a small orb attached to the wall beside the table.

'It kinda looks like Sister Orb... but a lot smaller.'

He touched the orb and sent his Spiritual Energy and Sense inside. Right after, an interface very similar to the Soul Gem System appeared in his mind.

[Welcome to the Electrical Formations Repository System.]

[Please select an option.]

[01- List of articles available.]

[02- Formations Test Field (Upgrade needed).]

"Hum... So this is what's happening here. Well, that does make sense. Why should the Soul Gem System use books? It would save a lot more energy to simply use a system with everything inside. I guess the entire place is empty so that I can test my formations here. Still, I wonder what the Formations Test Field looks like. Since I can practice Formations anywhere empty, there is probably something extra to this Test Field that I can't find outside."

Rean then changed his focus.

"Sister Orb, how much does it cost to upgrade the repository?"

[Same thing as Roan's Alchemy Workshop. 1000 Destiny Points.]

Rean sighed and returned his attention to the System.

"Open the first option."

[List of Articles.]

[01- Introduction to Circuitry Formations.]

"It indeed has only one article available... But what does it mean with Circuitry Formations? Is it talking about the Electrical Formations we have been doing so far?"

Rean then opened the Introduction to Circuitry Formations and began to read it. However, he soon lost himself in the contents of the article. It was simply too marvelous!

"These things are really Circuitries! However, they have been fused with the runes and materials used for formations. It is a mix of Earth's Technology and Spiritual Energy Formations. Impressive! "

Rean read through the several examples used by the introduction and felt like a new world appeared in front of him. Although he had just started learning about Formations, he could still tell the huge difference it has. The formations that Droman worked on looked like child's play at the moment.

However, Rean could only sigh in the end.

"This is indeed just an introduction. It doesn't go further into how to build and work with the runes."

Without another choice, Rean could only close the System and wait for when he gathered enough Destiny Points to buy the next level.

Back on Roan's side, he finally calmed down as he went to the wall to take the pestle. However, as soon as he touched it, he felt something different.

"Dark and Light Elements? I can feel that both my and Rean's element are inside this thing. Sister Orb, is it part of the Alchemy Workshop's features?"

[Of course! What use would be there if you got an Alchemy Workshop that is just a copy of the others outside? It wouldn't be worth your Destiny Points at all! This pestle, for example, can use the elements of both you and Rean to help with the Medicinal Extraction of the herbs or other materials used for alchemy. Not only that, but it will also prevent damaging the medicinal properties during the process. Of course, you don't have the mortar to make the combo yet, so it is not as good as it will be in the future.]

Roan's dark expression finally eased a bit after hearing that.

"I see... I guess I might as well bring it out and use it in Old Worm's hut for the time being."

[You can't. Any equipment of the Soul Gem Dimension cannot be removed from their workshops.]

"What? Then what's the use of this thing?"

[You can't bring the Soul Gem tools out, but you can bring tools from the outside world inside. Simply put, you can mount a temporary Alchemy Room inside this workshop while you take your time unlocking the other tools. Don't look down on this workshop just because it is empty. Most of the 400 Destiny Points were used just to build it.]

Roan noticed the meaning behind Sister Orb's words.

"Does that mean there is something special about this building?"

[Yes. Here, you can control the environment.]

"What do you mean? Like, the temperature of the room? I could already do it in Old Worm's hut. He has a formation under that place that can achieve the same effect. Besides, it is not like there was too much of a difference doing it anyway."

[That's true, but it won't reach the level of this workshop. The Yin Yang Energies in the Soul Gem Realm are perfectly balanced. However, inside this workshop, you can change them at will. It is not as simple as changing the temperature of the room. Anyway, you will come to understand it in the future as your Alchemy Skills increase.]

Roan knew that he was just at the initial stages of alchemy. With the conclusion of his Light/Dark Cultivation Stabilizing Pills, he had barely reached the level of an Earth Middle-Level Alchemist. There were a lot more things for him to try in the future.

'Now that I think about it, it was Old Worm who insisted that I should always pay attention to the environment of the Alchemy Room. It's just that he didn't say much about it after that. Oh well, I guess I can only wait and see what will happen in the future.'

Roan then put the pestle back on the wall and left the Alchemy Workshop just in time to see Rean leaving the bathhouse with the chick. From the looks of it, the chick had gone straight back into the Yin Yang bath after they left. Still, he simply ignored that scene and said.

"I'm going back to Old Worm's hut."

Rean then asked.

"Wait a minute! Don't you want to stay and check the chick's power? It's not like waiting a few more minutes will change anything for you anyway."

Roan pondered a bit as he looked at the chick hiding behind Rean. It was evident that it still feared him. Still, Roan had to admit that he was a little bit curious about what the chick could do after absorbing so much Spiritual Energy.

"Alright. What do you want to do?"

Rean immediately told his plan.

"Let's go back to that private forest of Dalamu Sect and have it battle one of the Stage Two demon beasts there. Since it is also a Stage Two, it should be able to at least defend itself, right?"

Roan nodded.

"Alright. But I won't help it if it's about to die."

It was evident that Roan was still resentful about having all his Spirit Stones eaten by it.

Rean and Roan then exited the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and left their room. Still, seeing that oversized chick following Rean while trying to keep equilibrium was quite a funny sight.

Before going into that place, they had to ask for permission. After all, that private Demon Beast forest only opened during the exam times. That being said, they went straight to Elder Hulian in the Inner Sect.

"Hum? You want to go there to test this... chick? By the way, where did you find such a big chick?"

Rean shrugged his shoulders.

"I got its egg during the last mission where we dealt with the Gold Hands Bandit Group."

"Oh! That mission..."

"Wait! That doesn't make sense. It has been just a few months since you went to that mission. How come this Demon Beast is already at Stage Two? Could it be that it was already born at this level?"

Rean understood why Elder Hulian asked that. Some races of Demon Beasts were really born already in higher Stages.

"Not really, it was really just a Stage One Demon Beast when it was born. To be honest, I'm also perplexed at its growth rate. That's why I want to go there and check if there is something special about it."

Hulian pondered a bit and nodded in the end.

"Alright. I'm quite free right now, so I will bring you there. You don't mind it, right?"

Rean and Roan shook their heads. There wasn't much of a point about hiding the chick anyway. After all, Elder Javiu and Reliance already saw it in the Beast Taming Sect.

Hulian then used his Spiritual Energy to grab the three of them and took flight straight away. He was already in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm, after all.

They quickly arrived at the teleportation's building, where they used the same one in the past entrance exam. On the other side, their group appeared with a flash of silver light.

"Alright, what do you want to do?"

Just as Rean was about to say something, the chick looked at the forest's direction and began to run.

*Chick! Chick!*

"Eh? It's the first time it leaves my side on its own volition."

Hulian, Rean, and Roan looked at each other and nodded. Soon after, they began to follow the chick from a distance.

The chick kept running while it flapped its wings as if it was trying to fly. Unfortunately, it was just too fat to bring its body out of the ground. Soon, it arrived at the forest's entrance and rushed straight inside.

"Just what is it looking for?"
