Gu Lin fang made his selection and quickly unequipped the silent goose steps, there was no changes, he Unequipped Poison Ghost Palm Lv 3 and left the Nether Poison needle Lv 2...

"Just as I suspected...but I suspect it's definitely lower than what was actually used to level them up to that point, Fortunately, with the new manual, I'll be getting more Experience points when cultivating, especially when it's Maxed!"

Gu Lin Fang was already aware that switching cultivation manuals wouldn't really affect his stage, Rather it would only begin to drop slowly the more waste time until another is equipped, so it is of great importance to have a manual ready for replacement as it acts like an anchor.

According to this body's memory, This is just in theory to the NPC's.

what normally happens, if there's anyone willing to try is that, you wipe away your initial cultivation and re-cultivate from scratch with the new one.

This is apparently due to the change 'Elements', Gu Lin Fang on the other hand, felt that this shouldn't be the case for players and him, seeing that he was a half player.

But this gave him an idea, if he could find a technique that allowed him to toy with memories... wiping a cultivator's memory of their manuals would be very lethal once you succeed...

He then tried cultivating with the Gu clan's original manual, just for the sake of comparison.

[+5]

[+5]

[+5]

Putting those thoughts behind him, He quickly unequipped his present manual and replaced it with the 'Blood Demon's Tao'(Purple).

[You have received 186030 Exp]

Without Hesitation, He pumped all his Experience points into the new Manual, maxing it out immediately and he was left with just 14450 Exp.

[Ding!]

[Blood Demon Tao Lv 10(Max)]

He soon felt a sharp pain inside of his body in his dantian area, his Nascent soul was changing and it appeared that, His nascent soul, which was in the shape of a new born child made of colorless Qi, had transformed into a new born baby made of pure blood.

His aura had a special effect of a sinister looking blood mist oozing around him, his Qi pool became blood red and he suddenly felt lighter.

Another change was the fact that he gained a new skill by maxing out the Blood Demon Tao, It was a passive skill that allowed him suck the blood within 20 meters around him and turn it into Experience point.

The better the blood, the greater the reward.

He then proceeded to start cultivation, so that he could confirm the speed.

[+25]

[+25]

[+25]

Noticing the difference, He stopped while muttering, "This is much better than the +5 Exp from earlier when I used the Gu clan's original manual".

Clearing his head, He chose to continue and see how much he could accumulate in a day.

After a while, Gu Lin Fang opened his eyes with a frown, "Two hours, That how much a player can meditate...I don't think Generic NPC's have this restriction...This might be a problem"

[+13800 Exp]

'Luckily, this isn't My only way to gain Experience points...their are also pills that increases Quantity and Quality of Exp during cultivation...although at this rate, it would take about 25 days to upgrade to the Nascent soul middle stage, the speed was still unbelievable!'.

While contemplating, He quickly learnt the skills he had selected earlier and even used <Nether poison needle> since he could always un-equip it.

He then used 11000 Exp to take <Crooked war finger> to Lv 2, 1500 Exp for <Nether poison Needle> Lv 3 and 5000 Exp on <Banshee's footprint> to Lv 4, saving the remaining experience points for now.

Suddenly, He could feel his body tensing up, muscles expanded and bones shifted around as his body got accustomed to the changes brought by these skills, making it seem like he had been practicing for years, knowledge of these martial art techniques started flooding his mind, the ways of dao and how to use his cultivation along with the techniques that came with it.

'I can finally protect myself for now, at least' Gu Lin Fang thought silently before calling out "Status" in his mind.

"Now, I'm Purple Rank but only an Elite... What in heavens name is an epic rank elite, just doesn't sound as good as an epic rank Boss... It's just going to make me more appealing to the players" He smiled wryly, "How to become a boss?, bloodline made my base body stronger while my new cultivation manual gave me other benefits and a vigorous qi pool reserve" The engines in His brain were spinning wildly but He still couldn't think of anything besides speculating if it had something to do with his level of skills or Notoriety.

He brought down the things he used in blocking the cave entrance before covering it again, "Lets find a way to test these skills and scout the area first".

Immediately, Gu Lin Fang initiated the <Banshee's Footprint> without much problems as it felt all natural. His figure appeared and disappeared like Ghostly images as he flew in a random direction at an unimaginable speed, hollowed laughter chased after him as it gave chill to those creatures in the surrounding area.

It was already close to midnight by the time he returned, He cleared the cave entrance casually before sauntering into the cave, only for something to charge at him, almost knocking him down.

"Father!!, I thought you left me!!" Gu Lin ju sobbed anxiously, obviously still shaken by the things that had befalling her over the past two days but Gu Fang's expression stiffened along with the words that were about the escape his lips...

Time slowed and In front of him, something popped up.

[Ding!]

[You have gotten to a point, where you have to make a decision for a fate linked scene...]

[A. Silly Girl, how can I bear to leave you? hahaha! Reward :1 Notoriety point]

[B. What's wrong with you? are you a kid?!! Reward: blue pellets]

'Don't tell me!' He yells in his head as he seemed to recall something,

"(Character will be aged to fill the role, Choices available during decision making scenarios linked to your fate, options would also be slightly affected by your camp, personality and traits.)" He remembered seeing that but didn't take it seriously back then.

Time suddenly seemed to be speeding up slowly, so He chose the first option without hesitation, scared that the system would pick the second one or something.

[DING! You have been rewarded with 1 Notoriety point]

[Four points away from unlocking the Reputation shop]

"Silly Girl, How can I bear to leave you? HAHAHA!!" The words came out of his mouth automatically even though he didn't try to say anything.

'This! this might be a problem!'.

[Obtained the title 'Doting Father']

Rolling his eyes at the useless title, He began to worry about what just happened as he ruffled the girls hair absentmindedly, after all, it just felt right.

He looked at her closely again, Flowing black hair that reached her lower back, almost milk colored skin with pitch black eyes and a curvy figure. Her eyes were slightly big with cherry red lips, presently she was grinning with some tears on her face but it didn't stop Gu fang from nodding seriously as he spoke in appreciation, "I have a beauty as a daughter..."

He noticed her messy hair and brought out a comb from his spatial ring subconsciously and began to comb it for her. Gu Lin Fang's mouth twitched as he came to understand his actions were still as a result of his {personality}.

This made the girl blush but Gu Fang noticed something else, "Foundation building?" He seemed confused for a second but then understood that, it was her body that was in the foundation building stage, as for her Qi? it was still on the 9th of Qi gathering realm.

'I'll just have her Re-cultivate with the <Blood Demon Tao> as an experiment' Gu Fang thought with a smile as he pulled out another black blue rank Gong fu robe and passed it to Gu LinJu, along with a hair pin "Put this on, we're heading for the Iron Crow city once you are done".

Once he said this, He stepped outside as a "Yes Father!" came from behind.
