My Cultivation System

As the name suggests, the Master-slave contract will help a cultivator become the master of someone who is willing to become his slave.

The contract will only work if the slave was willing to become the slave; otherwise, it will not work.

"What? Master-Slave contract?"

Henrick didn't like to keep any slaves. So, he shook his head when he heard Gaude's words.

"But…."

"I don't need a slave; instead, I want someone whom I can rely on to do some things when I am not around. As for the Master-Slave contract, I have my own ways to kill you when I sense you are trying to betray me."

Before Gaude could finish his words, Henrick interrupted him and said he didn't have to rely on the Master-Slave contract.

Master-Slave contract makes the master not worry about the betrayal from the slave. Since Gaude and Henrick never met before today, Gaude suggested the contract, whereas Henrick didn't like to use Master-Slave contracts.

Nevertheless, Henrick didn't have to worry about Gaude's betrayal because of his new system feature 'Loyalty window'.

'What is he saying? Should I feel happy or sad?'

After seeing how adamant Henrick was in not using the 'Master-Slave' contract, Gaude felt happy at the same time; he was worried that Henrick was too good to live in this cultivation world.

"As long as you don't harm the innocent and never attack me, I will not bother about it."

Soon, Henrick said a few more words, making Gaude nod his head.

"So, you are letting me go away like that?"

Gaude was surprised to hear Henrick's last words and asked with an expectant look on his goat face.

Even though he decided to follow Henrick for the rest of his life, Gaude wanted to take revenge for his mother's death.

So, when he heard Henrick's words, he was expecting to leave this world for a while before coming back to follow Henrick's orders.

"No."

However, Henrick mercilessly shook his head as he continued, "I spent a lot on your antidote. So, you can't leave this world until you repay what I spent for you."

"Okay, Master."

Since Gaude had already promised to become a slave, he thought it was already a good thing that Henrick was not using a 'Master-slave contract,' which means he still has a chance to take revenge on those who were behind the death of his mother.

With that thought in his mind, Gaude nodded his head.

"You can just call me by name. No need to address me as Master."

Henrick replied to the golden-horned goat-man as he continued, "Since I spent a lot on your antidote, you have to do some things for the next ten years."

"Yes, Mas...Henrick."

Gaude felt what Henrick was saying was reasonable. So, he nodded his head.

'Within the next 10 years, I can become an immortal realm cultivator as long as I get some cultivation resources.'

Since he will be staying in Aecrath for the next 10 years, Gaude thought he could earn a couple of cultivation resources that could help him become an immortal cultivator in the said time.

"Good."

Henrick nodded his head, and he thought to explain what Gaude had to do for the next 10 years; however, he was interrupted by the golden-horned goat-man.

"Master, as long as you help me get some high-level cultivation resources, I can enter the immortal realm. At that time, I can be more helpful to you."

Gaude said his thoughts without any hesitation.

After nearly going to the gets of the hell, Gaude learned that he had to ask, fight and earn the things.

So, there was no hesitation when he said those words because he felt that he could be more beneficial for Henrick if he became more powerful.

"Immortal realm?"

Henrick raised his brows when he heard those words, but after thinking for a moment, he felt what Gaude said might be helpful for me.

"I will help you when I get some good cultivation resources."

Since Henrick could use Gaude's power when he goes out of the treasure land, he nodded his head.

"Thank you, Henrick."

Gaude thanked Henrick when he heard his reply, and at the same, he asked, "What do I have to do, Henrick?"

Since he will be working for Henrick for the next 10 years, he wanted to know what kind of help Henrick needs.

"Your first task will be, you have to help me with the invaders coming from the otherworld."

Henrick revealed a slight smile as he started explaining Gaude's task for the next 10 years.

"The second task will be, when I am not around, you will try your best to guard that portal."

Pointing at the portal, which was currently closed, Henrick said the second task for Gaude.

"As for the third task, after your cultivation returns to normal and if I ever go out of the treasure land, you have to protect me."

Soon, Henrick finished explaining the tasks to Gaude.

Actually, Henrick wants to kill the invaders by himself to get bloodline points. So, Gaude's first task only said that Gaude had to just help him.

As for the second task, it was when Henrick was busy with his trials, and the third task was the protection from all the powerful cultivators in the world.

Henrick didn't want to go out unless it was very important. He wants to wait until he becomes the immortal cultivator, then he would not have to worry about the grandmaster realm cultivators.

However, compared to him reaching the immortal realm, Gaude can reach the immortal realm sooner. So, Henrick could go out without fearing anyone as long as Gaude enters the immortal realm.

"Henrick, whom should I protect you in this world?"

Gaude didn't feel anything for the first two tasks; however, when he heard the third task, Gaude felt something was not right. So, he asked after thinking for a moment.

"Other powerful cultivators of the world."

Henrick shrugged as he didn't bother to explain everything in detail and focused on the fire vine, which had almost completed its regeneration.

"What?"

As a guardian of the world, Henrick should not have any enemies in the world he was guarding. Moreover, everyone should be grateful for his work.

However, when he heard that he had to protect Henrick from the other cultivators in the world, he felt disgusted towards those cultivators.

"It's a long story. I will say it another time."

Henrick shook his head and said to Gaude, "Go and take rest. You will get busy when more invaders enter this world."

Even though the paralyzing poison was dispelled from Gaude's body, he was still feeling weak. So, Henrick asked him to take a rest.

"Yes, Henrick."

Gaude nodded his head and chose a place to sit in the cross-legged position to meditate.

'System, how long will it take for Ivy to regenerate completely?'

Soon, Henrick asked the system about the fire vine's regeneration time for its remaining body.

'Ding,

          Still, 30 minutes before the fire vine regenerates its complete body.

"Good."

As soon as he received the system notification, Henrick stood up from the ground and said, "It's time to check the spoils from the earlier fight."
