Chapter 6 - Enlightened

---

Even before the effects of the 'Hundred Year Old Ginseng' was used up. Arthur Vermillion already felt his body bursting with energy.

He started to shadow box whilst the 'Hundred Year Old Ginseng' was still under effect.

”This kind of training is not enough for me after breaking through.”, Arthur Vermillion muttered.

Now that he officially stepped onto the path of cultivation. He needed a suitable cultivation technique, which could make cultivating for him a lot more faster. Although there are thousands of cultivation technique in their family's treasure room. He didn't like every single one of them including his family's treasured cultivation technique, the 'Sacred Vermillion Manual'.

Notwithstanding the fact that he would have liked the fact of burning his enemies to death. This technique requires a lot of time to practice. If he chose this technique then he would fall farther behind his peers which is the outcome that Arthur Vermillion does not which to see. If it was him 3 days ago, he would gladly practice this cultivation technique. But after broadening his horizons by listening to the Item Spirit about the wider world outside, he decided to set his goals higher than before.

For that reason, he would like a cultivation technique that is much more suited to him and is a bit faster to practice than the 'Sacred Vermillion Manual'. This is one his reason for trying to find the Item Spirit, but since it was gone there's nothing he could do about it. He could only stick with the 'Sacred Vermillion Manual' or look for a cultivation technique similar.

'Should I try and go for a solo expedition?'

However, he immediately rejected this idea.

There are a lot of powerful beasts roaming around outside the city so going out will do him more harm than good. It would be fine if there was an expert accompanying him but he would need a valid reason for hiring one. Besides, his father would immediately throw him to a cage if he knew that his son is courting death by leaving the city.

Anyway, he still has some time before he could start practicing a cultivation technique. He needs to stabilize his foundation first so it would be much smoother for him to breakthrough the next realm.

After shadow boxing for quite a while. Arthur Vermillion felt his body br.i.m.m.i.n.g with energy. He didn't expect that the effects of the 'Hundred Year Old Ginseng' was formidable to this degree!

But this refres.h.i.+ng feeling didn't lasted that long for Arthur. He soon felt a throbbing pain coming from where his heart is located.

It was the same kind of pain that he experienced when that Item Spirit was drilling through his body but this time it was concentrated in the most sensitive part of the body which is the heart.

'Is it that Item Spirit again?!', Arthur thought inwardly, this time he would surely try and torture that b.a.s.t.a.r.d when he comes out.

This was Arthur's last thoughts as he soon dropped to the floor, falling in a deep sleep.

This was the Item Spirit's 'compensation' to Arthur. In truth, the Item Spirit cannot bring back the pure innate energy that he extracted from Arthur. He was running out of time so he had no other choice but to smooth talk him and get him distracted, that way it would be easier for the Item Spirit to get into his body.

In Arthur Vermillion's dream, he saw two silhouettes fighting with each other in the sky. The fight seems like it just started but in actual fact, one of them is extremely exhausted whilst the other is unconscious and just barely fighting with his will.

Arthur cannot be blamed for thinking that it was just beginning, this is a fight between two true masters. Even when they are heavily injured they could still move around this fast.
