17 Chapter 17 (1/2)

*Wait, how long was I sitting on this rock...*

Matt noticed that it was really dark outside, some lanterns lit up the place around but he knew that it was quite late now.

*Those guys are probably still waiting for me outside...*

He moved off the boulder and found himself a towel to dry his body off. He put his clothes back on finding the self cleaning function of them quite handy, as he wouldn't be stinking up the place like some of the other dudes that he saw in this village. The hygiene around here was just so so, but at least they did have this hot spring to wash of. He put on his boot and fixed his wrist protectors as he got ready, he stood up and looked behind him at the spring what felt a bit different than before he sure hoped that the people still could use it with the mild lightning Qi now floating around in there.

He noticed that the moment that he walked out to get dressed someone outside the changing room walked away, guess they were keeping tabs on him or something.Matt went out feeling refreshed and even a bit stronger thanks to his slight cultivation progress, he also didn't feel all that hungry even though he didn't eat much the whole day, besides the junk food he got from his store. This was also attributed to his high cultivation levels as people of that level could sustain their bodies on spiritual energy for a very long time without having to eat or drink. The same thing applied to holding their breath and living longer, a core formation expert had a 400-500 year life expectancy and considering that his body was about 30 years of age, he had a long way ahead of him.

*Maybe they'll invent the internet till my life runs out if it's that long -sight-*

Matt was greeted by the burly men outside that were still standing there, they gave him a bow of respect like they always did. He moved out while nodding his head at them and going back to his stoic poker face look. The Chief of the village soon came up running with some other people in tow once more.

”Hope you enjoyed your stay at the hot-springs, but those lightning strikes...”

”Ah, sorry I just had an epiphany and cultivated for a while, but don't worry the springs are still intact.Though they are a bit different now than before, shouldn't be much of a problem though.” *Well, don't really know though*

He interrupted the Chief's questioning as it was getting late and while not needing that much sleep he wanted to turn in for the night.

”Do you think I could stay here for the night, I can also pay you if you want.”

The town leader perked up at the mention of a reward, but he couldn't just ask a monstrous cultivator for any cultivation resources all willy nilly. So he decided to decline the offer, at least for now...
