Chapter 41 Task (1/2)

When Darren woke up, he found himself already back in his room.

His meridians were shattered and he was in severe pain. He found it difficult to even sit up.

”I have a lot to do to improve my cultivation base by assimilating spiritual energy. My talent of the Black Degree can be used to comprehend cultivation methods. But as of now, it can't be used to absorb spiritual energy yet,” murmured Darren with a bit of a pity, evaluating his current state.

He then sat up slowly and took out a healing pill.

'I do not know whether or not this healing pill will help with my injury. I can't take it directly, the spiritual energy inside it might damage my meridians, ' he thought.

Considering it for a while, Darren decided to directly assimilate the healing pill.

After a moment, a puff of white smoke rose out from his body.

”Well, that worked. I feel a little better.”

Darren found assimilating the healing pill helpful. He then assimilated two more. In a few minutes, he found himself feeling so much better than before.

Darren slowly got off his bed, feeling a bit worried.

If he were to improve his cultivation base by assimilation, he would need plenty of resources. Where could he get them?

Just as he was thinking, the door to his room opened.

”Darren, are you feeling better?” asked a soft voice. It was Fiona, the girl Darren had met on the road before.

She looked around cautiously for fear of being seen.

”Fiona, why are you coming here?” asked Darren.

”I came to see you. It's really unfortunate for you to have to suffer so many bad things. Someone from the School of Blade Skill told me what happened and... Oh, forget it!” Fiona said, embarrassed.
