39- Old Statue
Seeing that her apology did not work and anger was still clearly visible on my face, Armelia could not help but continue,
“I swear that it was not intentional. I accidentally used 50 % of my strength and thought you could handle it. As you were able to kill the man earlier who was fighting me and your speed is also much faster when compared to me. So, I accidentally hit you and thought that it would not do anything to you. But I made a mistake. I am sincerely sorry.&rdqu
40- Guilt [A few minutes back] After Orochi walked deep into the cave leaving behind Armelia alone, she started crying. It is true that she failed to notice the dangerous situation they were in and how Orochi saved her from all this. And instead of appreciating his help, she punched him and injured him. 41- Hidden Letter The last page of the book was thick and can be compared to the thickness of 2 or 3 pages when added together. As I was holding the page, I had no idea of what to do next. As I could not find any clue. So, I went for the most primitive way I could think of, which is tearing the page. Well not exactly tearing, I will just make a small tear near the corner of the page. And so, I gripped the corner of the page with my fingers and ripped a little bit. And with little resistance, it did tear and I felt that something was inside the page, so I ripped more and saw that there was a ‘Paper’ inside the thick page. The thick page was like an envelope hiding or covering the ‘Paper’ inside it. I took out the paper and there were two lines written on it. ‘Open the book and place the Scroll between the book.’ ‘One Male and One Female should drop their blood on both the Scroll and Book’ When I read these two lines, my eyebrows were raised and I started frowninEast Meets West (Cultivation World) 41- Hidden Letter
42- Posi-Nega-Tive Sutra ‘ding’ ‘-1 HP’ Reading this, I suddenly realized that due to my ‘Defense’ stat, I encountered resistance when trying to make a cut and when I made a cut, I lost some HP. This means I can become immune to some basic weapons as my ‘Defense’ stat continues to increase in the future. Well, when you reach the ‘Evolver stage’ your body & skin becomes tough and strong and it is basically immune to some weapons, and that ability further increases when you reach the ‘Demi-Human Stage’. And when you reach Transformation level, basic weapons hardly put a scratch on you. And to hurt a cultivator who has reached the ‘Transformation Realm’ special weapons are needed. After making the cut on my finger, I passed the knife to Armelia. Armelia holding the knife, her hands were shaking and it looked difficult for her to make a cut on her finger. So, I sighed inwardly and asked, “Hey, do you need help? I assure you that it will only sting for a moment.” Heari
43- Extracurricular Activities Author's note: I am having internet connectivity issues, hence there has been a delay in the chapter release. . [Chapter continues from here] ‘ding’ ‘Host has obtained Posi-Nega-Tive Sutra’ ‘System cannot accommodate the (Posi-Nega-Tive Sutra).’ ‘Ding’ ‘Hidden function improvement: ‘Posi-Nega-Tive Sutra’ can be used to improve the ‘Free Stat points’ extraction.’ ‘Does the host want to Improve it?” ‘(Yes) or (No)’ Reading this, I did not understand what does system mean by ‘Cannot accommodate’ and ‘Improve the Free stats points extraction’, so I asked the system about it “System what do you mean by ‘you cannot accommodate Posi-Nega-Tive Sutra’? And what is this ‘Improve the Free stats points extraction’?” ‘ding’ ‘The reason system cannot accommodate ‘Posi-Nega-Tive Sutra’ is that when the host uses certain skills, then the skills can be leveled up or when the host levels up so do the stats; but the ‘Posi-Nega-Tive Sutra’ cannot le
44- Awkward Situation Seeing Armelia lying unconscious, I went back to the pond and after a few minutes brought back some water to wake Armelia and let her drink some after she woke up. ‘Splash’ “Hmm... hmm?” “Ahh...” After I splashed some water on Armelia’s face, she woke up but as soon as she woke up, once again she clutched her head and it looked like there was still some lingering pain or she was suffering from the after-effects. “Hey, drink some water, it will make you feel better” And I passed her a bottle containing fresh water, that I specifically got from the shop for 10 Sikka. Armelia then emptied the whole bottle of water and after a few dozen seconds she calmed down. She then looked at me and said, “Thank you for the water” Hearing her answer, I asked, “What happened to you, why did you start clutching your head and started screaming?” Hearing my question, she fell into thinking and after a few seconds of silence, she answered, “I don’t know what
45- Food 1 ‘Growl’ ‘Growl’ To clear the awkwardness in the atmosphere, I decided to speak, “I am going to see if I could find any food.” Hearing me, Armelia quickly said, “I will also come with you” I can only nod to her and started walking back in the way from which we entered. After walking for a few minutes, we reached the pond that hides the entrance to the cave, which is below the pond. Since we need some food, we need to exit the secret cave and go to the other side of the wall. I just hope that the 'White Fang Wolf’ and its pack of wolves are not waiting for us outside. 'Growl' Again, my stomach made rumbling noises as an indication of hunger. So, I took a deep breath and jumped into the water. With my increased stats, my senses were improved too, which made it easier for me to swim. To be honest, I don’t know about swimming, all I have learned are the basics in the past life but in this life, I did not have any reason to learn or there was no need t
46- Food 2 As the wild boar appeared in front of us, for now, it solves our food issue and the ‘exp’ that I can get from killing this wild boar can help me level up at least once. And also provide me with some ‘Free stat points’. But then I remembered that Armelia is also with me, I don’t want her to kill or damage this boar as I will lose exp equivalent to the amount of damage she has dealt to the boar. So, I said to her, “Armelia, you stay back, I can deal with this boar, and don’t help me”. Hearing my words, Armelia immediately said, “But earlier you were injured, so let me do it.” Hearing her, I immediately declined and said, “No, I can handle it. So, I hope you don’t intervene” Looking at my face, Armelia reluctantly nodded her head and backed away to leave some space for us. Seeing Armelia move away, I turned my attention to the wild boar, but the wild boar was already running towards me and it was only 3 meters away from me. And the next second, the wild
47- New Title When we reached the area where we found the old man’s statue and received treasure and the inheritance, I took out the wild boar’s body, wood, and mushrooms. After that, I arranged the wood and started to make a fire. Well, right now I have to use the primitive way of producing fire that I learned from television. Using stones and striking them against each other. And when sparks produced fall on the wood, it produces fire. Or I could also use other ways. But I totally hate things that take a lot of time, ‘Growl’ But for filling my stomach and satisfying my hunger, I can only bear and try these methods to make fire. After 10-15 minutes, finally, the fire was generated and we cut meat from the wild boar’s body, attached that to a stick along with mushroom, and started roasting. After roasting for a few minutes, when I felt that the meat should be good to eat, I took out the sticks which were holding the meat and the mushroom. Armelia and I took one stick
