Chapter 36: Almost Caused My Dantian to Explode

The Eastern Sky Tower was said to be funded by the royal family so the hospital has complete facilities to accommodate the needs of the patients.

Fredrinn hadn't taken a bath since yesterday so his body was sweaty. He also wanted to refresh himself with cold water to relax his tense nerves.

Using his status, he managed to enter a special bathroom that was only meant for VIP patients. There was a golden tub inside the spacious bathroom as well as a shower.

He filled the tub with cold water and submerged himself in the water. The cold temperature made him feel relaxed and he even almost drifted into sleep.

'I still have the two upgrade cards inside my inventory. I should use them now.' Thinking about this, he took out the Sword Talent Upgrade Card and the Fire Affinity Upgrade Card.

[Would you like to use the Sword Talent Upgrade Card?]

[Yes] [No]

He had already used this once so he didn't hesitate to click [Yes].

[Congratulations! You have upgraded your sword talent by one star!]

Finally, he looked at the Fire Affinity Upgrade Card. Unlike the Sword Talent Upgrade Card which was golden in color, this one was crimson red with some splashes of orange and yellow. There were also ancient characters written on the surface of the card which until now he couldn't identify.

[Would you like to use the Fire Affinity Upgrade Card?]

[Yes] [No]

He clicked [Yes] and inspected his character profile.

Fredrinn Firecrown [Foundation Establishment 6th Layer] [Level 26]

Spirit Root: High-Grade

Sword Talent: ⭐️⭐️

Fire Affinity: ⭐️⭐️

Affiliation: Firecrown Household

Skill: Seven Scorching Sword Style

Fate Rating: E

Fate Points: 5500

He smiled when he saw that his sword talent and fire affinity were already at two stars. Although it was still nothing compared to Olivia's innate talent, it was already a good start for him.

There was still one more item in inventory. It was one of the items rewarded to him after Alice became his subordinate.

It was a book covered in ocean-blue material that felt cold to the touch.

Ice Revolution Divine Method

He opened the book and read the introductory pages. "So this is a cultivation method for those with ice affinity. This will be beneficial to Alice's growth."

Just as he was about to put it back into his inventory, a prompt suddenly appeared before him.

[Do you want to use 50 Fate Points to learn the Ice Revolution Divine Method?]

[Yes] [No]

Fredrinn furrowed his eyebrows. 'Should I learn this cultivation method?'

He was currently practicing the Sacred Flame Heavenly Tome, the strongest cultivation method of the Firecrown Household. It was only an arcane-rank cultivation method, but it was said that they only had an incomplete version of the book. He was worried that there might be some irreversible consequences if he practiced a technique that was the polar opposite of the one he practiced.

Fredrinn wasn't in a hurry to decide.

'It shouldn't be a problem for me to learn the technique as long as I don't train using its breathing method and exercises. If I learned the technique, I could teach Alice about my insights of the cultivation method. That would increase his growth rate significantly.' Fredrinn pondered while rubbing his chin.

After a moment of thinking, he clicked [Yes]

- 50 Fate Points

[Congratulations! You have learned the Ice Revolution Divine Method!]

[Congratulations! You now have one-star ice affinity!]

"Good! It even made me gain affinity to ice." Fredrinn grinned.

However…

[Warning! It has been discovered that two opposing energies are gathered within your dantian! Because of the imbalance between the two elemental energies, your dantian is at risk of being destroyed!]

[It is recommended to use 1000 Fate Points to learn the complete version of the Sacred Flame Heavenly Tome to balance the two existing elemental energies!]

[Confirm use]

[Yes] [No]

"Holy sh*t! What have I done?!" He was in a state panic when he saw the warning signs, but he soon calmed down after seeing that there was a solution.

Without hesitation, he clicked [Yes]. Although it hurt his heart to use 1000 Fate Points for a foolish mistake, he couldn't do anything about it.

- 1000 Fate Points

[Congratulations! You have learned the True Sacred Flame Heavenly Tome!]

[Congratulations! Your fire affinity has increased by one star!]

Fredrinn rubbed his chest and sighed in relief. "I should be careful about learning cultivation methods and techniques next time." He muttered with a stressed voice.

Because of his impulsive decisions, he had almost destroyed his dantian.

Fredrinn opened his character profile to check the changes.

The stress from almost having his dantian destroyed disappeared when he saw his profile. His fire affinity was now three stars and he even gained one star affinity to ice!

"Wait… What's this?" He noticed that his cultivation method was now displayed in the character profile. However, what made him surprised was that he could actually merge the True Sacred Flame Heavenly Tome and the Ice Revolution Divine Method!

"Just how strong is the merged cultivation method that it requires 10000 Fate Points?" Fredrinn muttered in disbelief.

He hadn't checked the prices of the cultivation methods in the Fate Shop so he had no idea about its value.

'This too much for me to take in all at once. I should relax for the time being and check it later.' He thought as he closed his character profile.

Fredrinn closed his eyes and he soon drifted into sleep.

When he woke up, the water was no longer cold. "For how long was I asleep?" He muttered to himself as he stepped out of the tub. He then changed into a set of new clothes before he exited the bathroom.
