14 Gaining Cultivation Methods (1/2)

Groaning, Fang woke up with a pounding headache. Clutching his head, he cleared his thoughts. Reflecting on the events that had just passed, he cursed angrily at the system. Such a way of supposedly helping him was simply too savage and cruel. Angrily muttering to himself, he searched within his mind.

Finding an odd source of energy, he began to prod it. It quivered and then fell silent. Frowning, Fang used a spear of mental energy to poke it. There was an explosion of power as a shadowy figure formed in response to the provocation.

”SO! You have finally come to me!” it thundered in a displeased voice.

Scared, Fang retreated backward.

”Yeah...,” he began.

The system seemed to be smiling cruelly from behind its shadowy facade.

”Very good. Now let me explain the new abilities you have gained,” it began in a stern voice.

His eyes shining, Fang began to listen earnestly. After all, this had to be good news!

”First of all, I have edited your inner composition so that you can cultivate through normal activities. The very act of your existence is a form of cultivation. However, there are limits to this. You can choose three main types of cultivation to specialize in, although you will still gain power from cultivating in different ways,” it spoke.

Puzzled, Fang stared at the system's avatar. Sighing, it rubbed its forehead with a shadowy limb.

”I shall explain in greater detail. You will have the chance to choose three main cultivation styles. This can be from any type of system. For example, you can choose to cultivate through cooking, cultivate through breathing, cultivate through fighting, cultivate through meditating, etc. However, you can still gain experience by cultivating through other methods such as making potions. Cultivating through these secondary means will only give you experience, however. And once you have accumulated enough experience, you may buy another cultivation style. You can also upgrade your styles,” it spoke.

Fang frowned, trying to process the information. After thinking carefully, he nodded.

”If that's the case, may I see the choices for cultivating?” he spoke.

The system nodded.

”Very well,” it rumbled.

With a wave of its ethereal arm, a series of glowing cards floated up in Fang's mind.

He stared in awe at the myriad of options. Reaching forth he began to explore the options.
