ai jie spend almost an hour to emulate the technique it would take many years for cultivators to find flaw by practicing the technique but bai jie could just simulate the technique bai jie mind was also very clear it was because he could think much faster.

but his simulation died 3 times which meant loss of 1000 life energy bai jie also wanted to know the reason for higher consumption.

he found out the truth more complicated his meridian become more cells of his body are used in simulation which meat it isn't just computer emulation it was using his real life cells as a base to create simulation.

it was both good and bad at same time because it was his own cells it could use these patterns same as that in the simulation and he won't have to worry about if it work on his body or not. but higher level simulation would be even more difficult he needed to hunt again.

" status " said bai jie.

host - Bai jie

race - human parasite

body strength - 21 bia

cultivation strength - 24 bia

Life energy - 18200

cultivation - 3 mortal stage (0/24)

"my cutivation strength is stronger than my body how powerfull is a qi gathering expert " bai jie thought he wanted to find a place to cultivate but he couldn't if some one noticed the difference of cultivation technique. these people will kill him to find his secrets. bai jie cultivation technique he made for would not work on others.

" I need to find a way to get stronger. I should try making my next phase of cultivation. " bai ji had divided his meridians to ascended pattern

low tier meridians 54/54

middle tier meridians 18/54

high tier meridians 0/54

extreme tier meridians 0/54

for ordinary people it would be 27 with every tier but bai jie possessed two set of meridians which means 54 per tier.

higher tier means more spirit energy is required to open the meridians the higher you reach more difficult it is to open meridians. but today he saw a someone with 81 meridians opened. he was able to open his high tier meridians. this was the question that was plaguing bai jie very much.

bai jie was in deep thoughts. many diffrent hypothesis were going through his mind.

he could refine spirit energy because his parasite abilities but how did they do it.

there was someone who was able to open 81 meridians and was serving under 9th stage mortal it was terrifying in itself.

" how could this ji lan do this why would a guy like this follow ji lan " thought bai jie.

bai jie estimated that if opening lower tier meridian required 100 units of energy then middle tier required twice.

Also with his cultivation technique where he needed to open 2 meridians at same time make it even more difficult if he could have enough supply of spirit energy he could breakthrough 9th stage mortal any time.

" This ji lan is not a simple guy " bai jie felt a deep threat from this ji lan not only his enemy understood tricks but he also possessed strength. he is a tiger in sheep's clothing.

bai jie suddenly sensed some one coming into his range of spirit sense. he also realized how beneficial it is to keep watch while doing your own stuff he could sense the distance of the person in his range if he focused more he could feel the aura it was like a fingerprint mark every person had a diffrent aura bai jie felt it from his parasitic senses it was aura of life force.

yi ying came through " bai jie I have found a way to go outside you can asses the situation outside. " yi ying told bai jie about the proposition made by Alice.

" A herbalist these herbalist can make pills right " bai jie's eyes started shining if he could find those pills for life energy or laughter pills.

bai jie also knew in this world if someone discovered his weakness he would be just be fish on a chopping board.

" yes herbalist refine pills from diffrent mixture of herbs. " replied yi ying.

" yes I need to go where is she " said bai jie.

" she is waiting outside if you go with her it won't arouse any suspiciousness and for a isolated place I might have a idea. it cultivation chambers of ji household but only members of main family can use it " said yi ying.

" I see wait till I come back then we will ask young miss if we can use after the day after we will escape to kai village I really need the academy to learn. " said bai jie after thinking for a while.

" you can go now here take this ring with you

it contain. some money and stuff it will be useful " said yi ying while giving him the stuff.

bai jie nodded and moved out.

" Big sister can I take her with me " asked Alice.

" yes take her with you " said yi ying.

" let's go " said Alice.

bai jie went with Alice but he still tried to maintain a distance even Alice seemed a good person bai jie was fearful of her.

bai jie and Alice both left the ji household.

bai saw many people outside.

but Alice had lead her to herbalist store directly he saw many shops in the way but he couldn't read what was written.

he also saw a what seems to be a book shop a old woman seems to be the owner.

" did you heard about the misty mountain "

" yes someone said that white mist has dissapeared "

" yes I heard anyone who come in to the contact with white mist not even your bones will remain. "

" little sister just ignore them they are just rumors. " said alice

bai jie felt it's much more informative outside than inside. he nodded to Alice.

" little sister can give you advice stay away from head maid it won't be good for you " said Alice.

bai jie who was already on alert felt two presence behind him one with 35 meridians

5th stage mortal and 42 meridians 6th stage mortal.

Bai jie looked Alice to notice any change in expression and nodded.

Alice who was walking ahead suddenly felt that something was looking at her her heart started palpitating.

" little sister we should move faster we are just there. " said Alice.

after a while Alice went in to what seemed like small garden there was a small wooden cottage at the centre.

bai jie was focusing on the two people tailing them. bai jie entered the cottage.

" uncle I brought a friend " said Alice.

" ahh little Alice come come you never visit your uncle only when you need him don't you " said old man.

" little sister this is my uncle Lin he is a famous herbalist in village. " said Alice.

bai jie nodded and bowed towards the old man. he saw many types of pills in the cottage.

" tell me what do you want this time " old man asked with a smile but bai jie saw something diffrent he saw this old man had 49 meridians 7th mortal stage. everything was very abnormal the two people who were following them were not moving at all and the old man's eyes seems ridiculing him. bai jie was very sensitive to these stares everyone was looking at him like a fish on chopping board.

he looked toward Alice she had her head lowered.

" uncle Lin she can't speak can you help her " said Alice.

" ofcourse I will help her. she is your friend this poor girl let me check what I have " said uncle Lin.

" little sister don't worry uncle Lin will surely have something for you " said Alice.

while bai jie was looking at diffrent kind of pills he found the pills he was fed by Alice that day. it was in jar there were many other pills.

but bai jie didn't like the scent in the cottage.

he wanted to know the secrets of the pills.

" haha I have found it this pill will surely help you " uncle Lin came back from the next room.

he handed the pill to bai jie.

bai jie looked at the pill carefully he didn't want to eat it but can't refuse. bai jie activated Absorption to absorb it while acting to eat the pill.

ding - 2000 life energy

it was a poison and a very strong one at that.

he could feel his cells eroding while countering the poison he lost 2000 life energy just like that to neutralize the poison.

but bai jie had a much bigger question in his mind ' Why '.

bai jie fall down on the floor while forcing blood out his mouth. he also suppressed his life force. he looked towards Alice he was fooled by this woman.
