Chapter 173: Cultivational resources

After eating many rare fruits in the beast mountain, the baby fire monkey lost interest in the high-level fire fruits because they were nowhere near to the fruits it ate.

'Nom nom'

Nevertheless, it started eating the fruits in order not to hurt Henrick's feelings.

…..

"You ate them all?"

By the time, Henrick came back after washing his face, all 21 fruits had disappeared and the baby fire monkey rested on the stone bed like a king.

'I am still having some doubts whether I am your master or your my master,'

Seeing the relaxed baby fire monkey, Henrick joked to himself as he thought, "Time to go meet the master."

'Swoosh'

With that thought in his mind, Henrick started walking out; however, before he could exit his cultivation abode, his master himself appeared in front of him.

"Master,"

Henrick hurriedly greeted his master with a simple bow.

"Not bad, not bad. Your cultivation increased,"

The sect leader Gamos nodded his head as he evaluated Henrick's cultivation.

Even though he said that out, inside his heart, the sect leader Gamos started worrying because Henrick had already reached stage 2 of the muscle-strengthening realm.

'Moreover, he even completed 6 rounds in the stage and as long as he finishes 3 more rounds, he would enter stage 3,'

The sect leader felt he had to hurry up to find a solution for Henrick's bloodline before he reached the energy condensation realm.

After reaching stage 2 muscle strengthening realm on the second day, Henrick used the same momentum to strengthen his muscle one round per day.

"Master, I have good news,"

Noticing the worried look on his master's face, Henrick slowly replied to him.

"And it is?"

Gamos asked with his brows raised.

"I awakened a human race's skill 'Camouflage' and moreover, it is at level 2,"

Since his master already knew his race, Henrick felt there was no need to hide his skill. So, he slowly revealed the skill.

'What?'

The sect leader Gamos revealed a shocked look on his face; however, soon he composed himself back to his 'sect leader' look before saying, "Good. So, up to what realm cultivators can it fool?"

"For now it is the master realm and below cultivators,"

Henrick revealed a slight smile as he replied to the sect leader Gamos because he knew how much his master was trying to help him by temporarily sealing his bloodline.

"M...master realm?"

The sect leader Gamos stuttered in his words as he looked at Henrick as though he was a monster.

Generally, the level 2 skill could maximum affect cultivators below the master realm and the only level 3 skills have some effect on master realm cultivators.

So, when he heard Henrick's words, he was absolutely shocked.

"However, if some cultivators have some special eyes or cultivation techniques related to eyes, then the skill is of no use,"

Henrick felt excited when he saw the shocked look on his master's face and at the same time, he also informed the sect leader Gamos about the disadvantage of that skill.

"It is still good. Moreover, in the outer sect, there is not a single elder with any eye-related skill or technique,"

The sect leader Gamos didn't think that it was much of a disadvantage as he continued to say, "Now, you can cultivate without any worry."

Finally, all the worries of the sect leader Gamos regarding Henrick's bloodline came to an end.

'With that skill, he could be safe within the outer sect; however, when he wants to enter the inner sect, then he would be in danger. So, I still need to find a way,'

Nevertheless, the sect leader Gamos decided to find a way to seal his bloodline before he leaves the outer sect.

Some might think, when will the sect leader Gamos stop caring about sealing the bloodline and it was until Henrick was capable of saving himself from others.

'Until then his bloodline needs to be sealed,'

The sect leader Gamos had already seen in the past how much bloodshed this bloodline had caused. So, he didn't want that to happen again.

"Yes, master. I have to reach 'Energy condensation realm' as soon as possible,"

Henrick remembered the promise he made to Elder Eagor and seriously said it to his master.

"Good...since you can freely cultivate without worrying about your bloodline, I will give you your share of cultivation resources. Give me your storage ring."

The sect leader Gamos didn't ask why he wanted to reach the Energy condensation realm as soon as possible; instead, he asked for Henrick's storage ring.

When Henrick had first entered the sect, he was given a storage ring by his master. So, without asking anything he gave his storage ring to his master.

'My share of cultivation resources?'

Even though he didn't ask, he thought about what the sect leader Gamos was talking about.

"Huh? You still didn't use any of your spirit stones?"

After taking the storage ring from Henrick, the sect leader Gamos checked it and he was shocked to see 10 spirit stones he gifted Henrick, in the beginning, were still lying in the ring.

"Yes, master. I didn't use any spirit stones so far as I was waiting to reach Energy condensation realm before using them,'

Henrick stopped thinking about the sect leader Gamos' previous words and answered his next question.

"Oh"

The sect leader was surprised for a moment and nodded his head as he said, "If you are in a hurry to reach the energy condensation realm, then you can use these spirit stones as they have very pure internal fire energy inside them which progress your cultivation smoothly."

The sect leader Gamos suggested to Henrick to use the spirit stones.

"Yes, master,"

Although Henrick nodded his head, the sect leader Gamos could guess that Henrick was storing the spirit stones for later use.

The spirit stone is a cultivation resource that the cultivator could use forever to increase the fire energy in his dantian or to increase his cultivation directly from the energy condensation realm.

Henrick thought he would only use the spirit stones to increase his cultivation instead of increasing his pure internal fire energy in his dantian after reaching the energy condensation realm.

"It is a good thing that you want to use it after reaching the energy condensation realm," The sect leader Gamos nodded his head at Henrick's thinking as he continued to explain, "The pure internal fire energy we get from the spirit stones is not very effective for cleansing the body or refining the muscle as they cause low pain during the process."

In the next second, the sect leader explained the reason for not using the spirit stones before reaching the energy condensation realm.

At the same time, he filled Henrick's storage with his share of cultivation resources before tossing the ring back at him.

Henrick caught the ring; however, he didn't check its insides yet as he listened to the sect leader Gamos' words.

"With these resources, your endurance will be increased which will help you refine your muscles more number of rounds in a day. I hope you reach the energy condensation realm before the 'Outer sect yearly tournament',"

The sect leader Gamos finally talked about the tournament to Henrick.
