Chapter 32 How Long

A very outstanding breakfast was served immediately, a flute player was invited to play his jade flute and fill the whole room with a pleasant environment that's met for the occasion.

Liam sat in the middle of Bradley and Cornelia eating with his eyes filled with excitement.

The whole place was so nice, the sweet aroma of the delicacies filled his nose and the beautiful sound of the jade flute filled his ear.

A maidservant walked in with a large jug of golden berry wine and began turning them inside the glasses in front of everyone.

"Let's cheers to today's celebrant!" Crimson Paul raised his glass and said with a loud voice, the soldiers took up their glass filled with golden berry wine that it even began to drop on them but they didn't care about such stains considering the person that they were celebrating.

Liam and raised his glass, so did Cornelia.

Cling~

Cling.

The sound of the glasses clashing lightly against each other could be heard, after the cheers everyone took down the wine in large gulps.

The small celebration continued till noon.

Crimson Paul before he left passed a scroll to Liam, the soldiers also gave him gifts most including coins, manuals and other sort of things that can be gifted, Bradley even gave him two more lower grade primeval stones.

After the party was over, the soldiers left to continue with scouting members while Crimson Paul and Cornelia left to their home.

Right now, Liam was left alone with the maidservants that were taking care of stuffs in the kitchen.

Liam closed the door behind him, it was time to open stuffs that he got.

Cornelia was somewhat special to him so he decided to open her own affer he have opened the others.

The martial arts that Crimson Paul gave to him was kept on another point, the number of coins he received was more than ten gold coins.

'

And the martial arts manual was seven in numbers each having different moves and stance combination.

'All these might be useful in training but they're too many!' Liam yelled in his heart.

He brought the seven manuals together and he even opened the martial arts technique in the scroll that Crimson Paul has given to him.

[Crimson martial art, Scripture one, the unholy fist routine]

Liam looked at the heading and discovered it was a technique that the crimson linage family owns, it was just the first scripture, meaning there are others that crimson Paul did not give to him but he could see the complexity that it has.

Then Liam remembered something that he received one day when he used the lottery wheel, it was a talisman containing a spell that was able to merge different martial arts or essence cultivation technique together to give a superior grade martial arts technique or essence cultivation technique as the case may be.

Liam accessed his system inventory which now has fifteen spots after he have leveled up twice.

He clicked on the spot that housed the talisman which has a [Technique merger (×3)] on it, after that the system window disappeared and a talisman appeared on his hands.

Liam poured a little bit of essence in it, then he flung it to the location of the manuals gathered together.

The talisman was up and hovering over them. then a blinding ray of light was released that immediately swallowed all the scroll and manuals into it.

Few seconds have passed, then talisman exploded noiselessly.

On the spot that it exploded, a new scroll with added length could be seen.

Liam walked up to the scroll and held it with his hands.

After that, he held it and opened it cautiously.

Immediately, a small ball of light moved out of it and darted straight into his forehead.

Meanwhile, at that moment, Liam began to fill his brain getting filled with informations, including written, illustrated and even errors that most people normally commit during practice as well as the precautions to avoid them.

The name of the new technique inside his head was [Crimson dragon art] it has three scriptures, the lowest being the yellow dragon art and was the one that has been unlocked inside his head.

The other was orange, and was hidden from him and will be revealed once yellow dragon art have been mastered till perfection, the last was crimson dragon art.

'ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ No(ve) l Bi n',

After seeing everything else, he decided to open the last one which was the one that Cornelia has given to him and behold it was a necklace with a Jade pendant.

Jade is one of the most expensive things in this world and most families haven't even set their eyes on one.

'This is really great! Liam thought to himself as he wore the necklace.

From that day onward, Liam devoted his time to martial arts and essence cultivation but after one month, there wasn't any improvement in his martial arts but there was a lot in his essence cultivation.

A year and some months passed after his birthday, The duration of the mission during this period.

Liam was lucky because he was able to reach human champion realm in essence cultivation but still no improvement in martial arts cultivation.

After that mission, pretty much other main quest mission was easy and he leveled up the system to level 10 under the duration of four years.

After reaching level 10, the system stopped giving him missions and now used a gaming experience system.

Liam is now eight, his essence cultivation was level 2 human champion realm and his martial arts was still at mere level 2 of human realm.

One day, Liam wore a mask, black cloak and disguised himself as a short expert and asked the system to make alterations on his voice so that he could accomplish what he wanted.

Then he visited the guild which was about small cities and one town away from Liam's house.

During this four years, he was mainly alone, the soldiers only visited on new years and festive periods but Cornelia visited at least thrice a month.

Cornelia has grown into a beautiful teenager.

She is a cultivation genius but she was still at the same cultivation as Liam but has a stronger martial arts cultivation than him because her body has developed to the state that was compatible with martial arts, thus her martial arts has risen to level 5 human realm.

Meanwhile, during this period.

The guild has grown just as Bradley has foretold.

Nevertheless, they weren't that popular around silver south neighboring kingdoms because the noble has been trying all sorts of tricks to halt their fame growth.
