45 Tedious Tasks of Life (2/2)
The manual [Soul Withering Technique] was nothing more than trash in Christian's eyes.
Reading through it only once, Christian found many flaws in the circulation of Qi that would cause the user to die of exhaustion once they reached Void Shattering realm.
A lowly technique was not for a king so Christian decided to use one of his own that he remembered.
[Imperial Mandate]
Meant for a king, the user would be slowly molded into a one of a kind ruler with a clear mind and resolute decisions.
Each founder of a dynasty could have their problems mostly solved if they had this technique and the fuel for this manual is a resolving will.
Christian had settled on this technique after looking past his memories and came to the conclusion that this was the one cultivation that would go best with this life.
If he wanted to reclaim his throne then he could only walk on a path he had yet to fully develop.

Dean was about to doze off into a dream land but someone smacked him on the back of the head
”Now, who the -”
Turning around, Dean faced who had the audacity to start a fight but to his surprise it was Leonard
In his hand was a small bottle of pills that already had a strong scent containing fragrant herbs.
”Yo, i'm not late, right?”
Placing the bottle on the desk, Leonard made sure to leave his greeting while leaving a note on top of the bottle.
The ripped piece of paper had a short description in a very neat handwriting that Dean could easily read.
'Get the rest after school.'
”No, you're not late”
Dean made sure that his act wasn't out of the norm and made sure the conversation flowed well.
'I can now cultivate in peace for a while'
It was good timing since Christian had left the school and Dean wanted to test out how effective the herbs were.
...
Christian had just arrived at his first milestone.
This place had a large forest next to the rural town that contained many types of tree species. Taking advantage of that, Christian disguised his other goal with this location.
He had sent a scout to visit the Shadow of the Night's school to arrange a meeting that will finally shed some light on some mysteries.
The scout had already came back with an address in hand.
”Here's the list of all the missions we have accepted. Separate into groups to finish the tasks as soon as possible while I gather some rations.”
Christian allowed the Autarch Society to make their own decisions as he passed the paper to the closest Martial Artist that would act as his attendee
Dispersing the large group that followed him, he beckoned Anne and Pierre to follow him.
Most tasks picked were gathering wood causing the prideful Martial Artists to be lumberjacks
