A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 67: Cultivating I

Alex smiled when he saw the battle intent that had begun to erupt from her.

He was happy.

Now that she was stronger, she would protect him.

At least, he found someone who cared about him. That's why he was generous.

Actually he had to be generous because, firstly, she was a friendly and a lovely person. Secondly, he had so many of these things. They were just too many. His mom who loved forging forged a lot of these things.

It was an hobby for her. Anytime she wasn't doing anything, she would start forging. And her forging skills in her own time was peerless.

Right from when she was young up to that fearsome cultivation stage she reached, her height in forging was unattainable.

She was unexcelled throughout her lifetime.

She was very productive. She could forge hundreds of treasures of different abilities and characteristics in half of a month.

As long as she had the materials.

Besides, she went to forbidden areas of famed ancient experts to collect their legacies.

It's called forbidden areas because these were zones the experts died in.

So the place, for thousands of kilometers, had been transformed by the power emitting from their bodies into a place that was extremely dreadful.

The vast aura of power emitting from the bodies of these experts could kill anyone in a rank lower than their's. But she could, to give one an inkling of the degree of her strength.

So, the legacies she obtained were vast records of cultivation of unknown world-energies, astonishing amounts of fearsome treasure-weapons and powerful myriad treasures.

Also, his dad's treasure collection and that of his friends' and vassal forces were with him.

Cultivators don't usually settle down to marry. They are always cultivating to be stronger. That's why it was when Alex's parent reached that stage they decided to marry and have kids.

Only the lazy ones would settle down and marry to produce kids or those that had become stagnant in their cultivations.

So he had all their lifetime accumulations as there was no one else to give the wealth they possessed to.

Alex was just exceedingly lucky.

"Alex. Thanks for everything you have done for me" Jennifer said emotionally.

Alex smiled. "No problem Instructor Jennifer. I should be the one thanking you. For being my pillar of protection" he said in an honest tone.

Alex then left her room and went back to the room she gave he and Jake to stay for the time being.

When Alex came in, Jake looked at him and gave a smile.

"What went on between you two in that place?" he asked.

"Nothing. Just discussing on how to deal with Micah" Alex replied.

"Liar!" Jake barked. Then he said in a pained tone. "I am your friend, you shouldn't keep secret from me bro."

Alex shook his head.

He could help but scream PERVERT!! in his mind.

"I am not keeping any secret from you. I promise" Alex said.

"You spent hours in there. So you guys were speaking about Micah for hours?" Jake asked.

"Actually, something happened." Alex replied.

"Like what? tell me" Jake said with eyes that had begun to glow.

Alex looked at him. "Nope. I am not telling you" he said.

Then he went to seat on the bed.

Jake looked at him and shook his head. He could imagine Alex doing it in the missionary style with Jennifer.

He vowed to get his own babe.

Alex sat on the bed and so many things were going through his mind.

He had the bloodline ability of the Azure Beastsman which was the ability to summon millions of beasts from a realm he called beast realm.

Also, he had the abilities of the hundreds of divine beasts the Azure Beastsman took blood essences from.

He wondered when he would be able to use the powers. He believed that when he got to a higher cultivation stage, he would be able to sense these powers in his body.

Then he thought of his own bloodline powers. His parent being powerful experts would have bloodline abilities.

Then he thought of those physiques.

Now, he could only access them by bringing up the anger he buried in his heart or when he became over excited. He couldn't just bring them up to use without getting extremely angry or exceedingly elated.

But it was good, he felt. At least he has another card for himself. He would unleash them when it was necessary.

Only when it was totally necessary would he do so. As he had to finish a battle very quickly, like in half a minute or in a minute before he collapses to the ground unconscious.

It would be dangerous for him if he fought someone higher than him in cultivation like four to five ranks above his and didn't finish the battle in a minute.

He had to slay his opponent or adversary in a minute. Or things could go awry from there.

"Well, let me put that somewhere for now and focus on tomorrow. How would it turn out?" he asked himself.

Same day. Evening...

Alex and Jake were summoned to the table to have dinner.

Nobody spoke to anybody. They just focused on their meal.

Jake wasn't happy with this. "What the hell is going on between these two?" he cried out bitterly in his heart.

He then spoke since no was willing to talk "Instructor Jennifer, you are the most amazing cook I have ever met. The meal you prepared tastes hundred times better than the one prepared by chefs in the statesmaster house"

Jennifer looked at him with a smile and said "Oh. I am flattered" then she continued with her meal.

Alex only shook his head with a smile plastered on his face.

Attention-seeking pervert.

He continued to eat his food.

But the meal was truly delicious. Instructor Jennifer was a good cook.

Alex took a bite of the fried meat and it was really tasteful.

"Hmm!" he couldn't help but mutter in his mind.

His lips began to sheen as oil from the fried meat coated them. Then he drank the fruit wine put there and accidentally belched.

"Oops! Sorry" Alex hurriedly said.

Jennifer looked at him. "You have no manners" she said.

"Yea. Tell the nut. He has no manners. See the way you belched. I could see some food particles jump out of your mouth into my food" Jake said in an unhappy tone.

"Jake its okay. Observe table manners, please" Jennifer said. Then she continued to eat.

They became like a small happy family.

....

The next day...

Before Jennifer went to class, Alex gave her a few stuff in preparation for anything that might come up.

A few moments after she left, he began to cultivate.

He was cultivating polarforce energy. This was the energy that creates ice and frost.

Before him could be seen many snow-white pills. These were ice-cultivation pills for the condensation stage. There were about twenty in front of him.

In the past, he had been using entry-level pills.

Those were cultivation pills meant for his cultivation stage.

Anyone who takes a pill higher than the cultivation stage they were in could become crippled.

This was because such pills contained large amounts of energy that could become excessive in one's body and destroy one's energy-channels.

This is due to overstraining and the sudden enlargement of the energy channels causing them to ruin.

But now, he was going to stop using them as they became very insignificant to his cultivation.

Being an aberrant, he needed to absorb more quantities of energy.

This was just to quickly increase the amount of energies he cultivated so they could catch up with the others.

Therefore, he wanted to start taking higher-rank pills so he could quickly push his cultivation energies to the level he wanted. To the level it would satisfy the requirement of the cultivation laws of this realmverse.

So, he started with condensation-level pills.

He believed his energy channels wasn't going to ruin because of some excessive amount of energies.

He felt his body could handle them as they have handled things that would instantly cause other cultivators to explode.

He had a tough body that contained primordial energies, could transform into divine physiques without anything happening to his body like his body systems crashing due to the tremendous overload, except fainting for overly straining himself mentally.

So with this line of thought, he strongly believed some amount of energy meant for the condensation-stage cultivator wouldn't do a thing to him.

He had even made up his mind. If the condensation-level pill only increased the quality and quantity of his energy by a few amounts, he would switch to using earth-level pills.

Apart from him being a cultivation deviant, this was another reason for his slow cultivation speed despite the extremely huge amounts of diverse supreme-rank and peerless-rank cultivation pills.

He had been fearful all this while of ruining his cultivation. He couldn't imagine his future without being an expert that would shake worlds with a slight gaze.

But now, after putting some factual things together about his body in his mind, he has thrown the fear to the ground, stomped on it to pieces and burnt it to cinders.

He put one of the pills into his mouth and swallowed it. This turned into large amounts of polarforce energy in his body.

He looked within for a strain but he felt none. He smiled.

Then he directed this stream of energy along his energy channels (force-arteries) to his energy house where it added to the mass of polarforce energy in there.

When he was done, he used his inner-self cultivation vision to look at his energyhouse and saw that the polarforce energy in there increased a bit.
