131- Hah! I Did Not Waste All Those Years [1] ‘ding’ ‘Host has washed the body 10 times and reached the peak of the Low level of Evolver stage’ ‘Any further washing the body with earth elemental attribute vital energy will not increase any stat but it can improve affinity with the Earth element.’ . Well, this is also a good thing for me. With this feature, my affinity with the Earth element will keep on increasing and the Earth element skills, spells, techniques, and cultivation methods will be more effective. After washing my body 10 times with ‘MP-vital Energy’; my ‘Strength’, ‘Agility’, ‘Defense’, ‘Resistance’, ‘Sense’, ‘Intelligence’, and ‘Stamina’ stats have increased by 300 points. And also, two hidden abilities got upgraded. The first hidden ability is related to Sense stat and MP. According to the new upgrade, I will recover 5 MP per second. And previously it was 1 MP per second. While this is good news, the bad news is related to the... Seconds hid
132- Hah! I Did Not Waste All Those Years [2] Although ‘Poison Resistance’ is not able to eliminate the remaining poison in my body, but later when I increase my ‘Resistance stat’ and wash my body with ‘Wood Element’, then its ability will be further upgraded. Also, it will increase after I eat poisonous substances. How good is that? And now due to the ‘Poison Resistance’ ability no poison below ‘Red grade level 3’ can affect me. In the Pagero Continent, Materials, herbs, plants, pills, medicines, Skills, techniques, and cultivation methods are all divided into 8 grades similar to the division of weapons. Normal grade, Red grade, Orange grade, Yellow grade, Green grade, Blue grade, Indigo grade, and Violet grade. And each grade is divided into 12 levels. The ‘Purple Dome mushroom’ that I consumed, was a Normal grade level 11 poisonous herb. . And, due to Bertha’s treatment, my body was able to generate antibodies that would fight against the poison in my bo
133- Marriage Discussions So, I guess I have to make a trip to human settlements. And luckily, Bertha’s 1-year closed-door cultivation is about to end. So, I can be done with the last remaining treatment. Actually, I don’t even need her help. If I wash my body a few more times, then I can easily eliminate the poison, or if the ‘Poison Resistance’ levels up a few more times, then either the poison would be eliminated, or the efficacy of the Antibodies will reach 100% and they will fight with the poison and suppress it. So, even if Bertha takes a few more months to cultivate, I can eliminate the poison on my own. Now, I only need Sheela’s help in eliminating the [Devil’s Breath] which is slowing down my cultivation speed and absorption of [Spiritual Qi]. It took me almost a year to step into the Peak of Evolver stage. A year to cultivate and reach the Evolver stage is an extremely good speed and if people from Kingdom hear this, they will surely think that this is f
134- Confessions “So, the reason I called you here is related to your marriage. I just wanted to ask both of you, do you want to proceed with the marriage or not. Both of you should be honest as this is an important decision related to your life. And making a wrong choice can be harmful to both of you. I just want to know if you are happy to be tied to this marriage knot?” The surroundings went silent for a few seconds, Both Bertha and Sheela were watching us (Armelia and me), while Armelia kept her head low and not daring to look or answer anyone. I don’t understand whether she is hesitant about accepting the marriage or she is shy about it or something else. If it was any normal time, I would never get involved in matters related to marriage but since I have promised two conditions to Sheela and Bertha each and am bound by the ‘Vishwa Saakshi’ Oath, and since Sheela has used the first condition as a marriage between Armelia and me, then I have to accept the marriage.
135- The hidden Defect 1 “I don’t know when, but I started developing some feelings for you, but still I wanted to ignore them.” “But after we got ambushed by that hunting group, I realized that I should have at least expressed my feelings to you, I was filled with despair as I could not save you.” “And the next thing I know, I woke up at your house and you, once again taking care of me day and night without any proper rest.” “Do you know how I felt that time? I cannot express it in any simple sentence.” “And when your mother put forward the condition that I need to marry you and only then she will help me cure the poison, I readily agreed.” “I was extremely happy because, from my childhood, I always had issues in expressing personal feelings. So, if your mother never put forward this condition, then I don’t know if I ever would be able to express my feelings towards you. I would just be thinking- Maybe, Armelia did it out of favor or guilt. Maybe, she is better suit
136- The hidden Defect 2 “Oh! What about your feeling for Armelia?” I looked at Sheela and found that she was staring at me intently, or to be precise she was looking into my eyes to see if they were truthful or not. I know that if I lie right now, then she would be able to discern it and things could be nasty or worse... but I never had any intention to lie, so I answered. “Yes, I was touched by her actions and have feelings for her. And I love her.” “But if I was honest, then I would say that it would be a lot better if she would stay in the forest.” “Oh, why would you say that?” asked Sheela. “Being her mother, I am sure that you are aware of your daughter’s character or personality, right?” “I am, but please do tell me your opinions.” After sipping some tea and I said, “Armelia has a very good nature, and she has a kind character. And in the world of cultivation, this is very rare; finding these kinds of people is like finding a rare trea
137- Completion of Second stage treatment ‘ding’ ‘Sheela Lama has issued the second condition: Protect Armelia.’ ‘ding' ‘Bertha Urag has issued the first condition: Protect Armelia.’ ‘ding’ Does the host wish to accept these two conditions?’ ‘[YES] or [No]’ ‘ding’ ‘Note: Failing to accept these two conditions will lead to heaven’s punishment and death.’ Of course, I know that. I accept. “Of course, I will take care of Armelia. You don’t have to use it as a condition, and I don’t hold any grudge against your actions because to me getting rid of the poison is more important than anything.” I answered. But surprisingly, Sheela bowed and spoke, “I will not ask you to forgive me or anything. And I am ready to bear any kind of compensation you ask of me. And if you do not hold any grudge against my actions then please ask for anything and I promise that I will try to fulfill it.” Now, Sheela has even ignored her pride and even bowed to me. So, if I
138- The Marriage Ceremony Today is the day of my marriage with Armelia. I picked up the clothes prepared for the marriage and got dressed. Once again, I looked into the mirror. ‘knock’ “Sir, if you are ready, then I would request you to follow me to the ancestor grounds. Everyone is waiting for your arrival.” I heard a woman's voice. It must be a Lamia guard, who has come to take me to the place where the marriage is going to take place. “Ok” I answered after taking a last look at myself in the mirror. I followed the Lamia guard to their so-called ‘Lamia Ancestor grounds’. We walked a long distance and finally reached the location. After I entered the ‘Lamia Ancestor grounds’, I saw that the area was filled with dozens of people. But on the occasion of marriage, I guessed that many people would attend our marriage but that’s not the case. Sheela has already told me that the number of people who will be attending the marriage will be low, as marriage betw
