Chapter 16
"Ki!..... id!...." I heard something start to call out to me, "Kid!!"
"What.... whats, going on?" I muttered.
"Thank G.o.d you're awake, kid!" The stone said, "I Thought the poison might have gone too far!"
"Poison...? what?" all of a sudden my memory of that night came back. "where is she."
"I've put her away for now, she had a cure on her, but it didn't activate properly, so I had to help with a little bit of my own energy" The stone replied, sounding almost exhausted.
"I'm sorry for being so hopeless..." I muttered, looking down, "I promise i'll listen to you in the future..."
I looked at her, only to realise that she wasn't that pretty, I was confused on why she seemed so attractive before, but instantly a.s.sumed that she used some kind of elven spell.
"It's okay kid, something fun came out of it too, normally if there was a body left behind, I would have dissolved it and taken its qi, however, this chicks spirit is abnormal, and would be a good thing for you to absorb." The stone went on, "her bone frame is a good thing to study, it isnt so basic, it seems to have a venomous attribute to it, allowing her to produce poisons, which is most likely what she used to kill you."
"What? there was such a bone frame? I cant believe this near death experience would give me such an amazing benefit! if I study it, it'll be hard for me to not know that bone frames power!"
I sat down and instantly started a.n.a.lysing.
a.n.a.lysing bone frames is a hard process, where you have to look deep into the source of that persons energy, and possibly understand it. With the stone, the chances of a.n.a.lysing a bone frame has skyrocketed, with it being a fifty percent chance for a full understanding.
Ding! Host has
"Huh?!?" I jumped up in shock, hearing the robotic voice sound echo in my head.
"Sorry kid, that must be my old function acting up, i guess some of this normal stone is finally coming off!" The stone said
"wait, so is this function for when you're asleep?" I asked
"yeah, it doesn't have as much knowledge as I do right now, but if I gain back my full power, then it will be just as smart as me!" The stone said, almost too proudly.
"Woah... This is going to be a great help for the future!" I replied.
"You don't want to depend to much in it kid, it seems like it's rusty, and will probably give some false information, so definitely trust my words over its." The stone warned.
"Don't worry, I don't think I have a reason to not trust your words, after what happened that is..." I murmured.
"Look kid, don't get too down, don't you remember that you got the venom frame? Cheer up!" The stone continued. "You messed up, maybe you can't trust people like you used to, but this venom bone frame is incredibly useful, sure it might've damaged your cultivation a littl-"
"It did WHAT?!?" I yelled.
"Your cultivation, it was slightly damaged when you were attacked, she just barely didn't make you a cripple!" The stone calmed me down as it continued, "Count your blessings kid, before its too late, your fate is extreme! With the luck of being harmed twice yet still recovering, one day you'll be able to transcend everyone if you keep this up!"
"But, how will I transcend others if my cultivation keeps on weakening?" I asked.
"your base, you upgraded it to the very maximum of body building, yet now your body has gained a proper taste of absorbing heaven and earths qi, you can enhance it even more!" The stone replied.
"Wait, you're saying i'm back to the body building stage???" I asked, fearing for my efforts to be lost.
"sadly, yes, however you are back at the very peak, and enhancing your base will only make you grow faster then ever!" The stone cheered me on, giving me hope, I looked at myself and thought that I really did need this, even after perfecting my foundation before, with such transcending techniques, I still wasn't going fast enough, even if my spirit was weak, or my bone frame was low quality, i absorbed the essence from the sun and moon, which is four times more than the technique alone, which that itself is four times more powerful then my previous techniques as well.
"The proportions just don't seem to add up!" I muttered to myself, before, even without awakening my spirit or bone frame, my base was far stronger, what could I be missing? But then it hit me, "I'm lacking effort! I've been relying on the stone too heavily! No wonder I myself aren't well built enough!" I sat down and cultivated, the speed was far slower then in the qi collecting realm, but it was more then how it was in the body building stage before, I started to build up the energy inside my body and brought it through to my entire body, the additional qi I had from before could strengthen me far more then anyone would expect, making my base at least five times better than before, completely destroying my previous base from a hundred years ago that was only fifty percent stronger than from now.
After the day of enhancing my base, I was finally done, my base went past five times, and made it all the way to ten times what it was before! The power increase in the future would be extreme, even the current rulers base is only half as strong as mine at this stage!
"I'll become the strongest, and me and this stone will ascend and become G.o.ds!" I yelled, "Just you wait, world! tomorrow i'll gain my residence and ill be able to cultivate twice as fast! I'll pay back what happened to me, through gaining even more strength!"
