Roleplay As Cultivator
18: Tian Jie entrusts his back

…

Tian Jie opened his eyes. Beside him he saw that there was already Huang Qingyue sitting down and arranging the spoils of their war.

Feeling that someone was staring at him, Huang Qingyue turned to Tian Jie. While showing a wide smile Huang Qingyue approached and asked.

“oh, Has Mister recovered ?”

Tian Jie : “My spiritual energy has fully recovered, but my head is still a bit dizzy due to the excessive use of the technique”

“How long do I sleep ?”

Huang Qingyue : “almost one night, soon the dawn will be visible” while pointing eastward.

Tian Jie : ‘Hmm, one night to restore the entire spell charge I have’

‘like time needed for long rest inside TRPG’

‘this system is really using TRPG that I often play as reference’

“Have you rested Qingyue ?”

Huang Qingyue : “Ah, I will be fine with a short rest after this”

“don't worry mister Tian Jie!”

Tian Jie : ”yah , If that's what you want it's okay, but always try your body at maxi”

“In a place where we don't know what's hiding under his shadow, We can't let your guard down

“Getting time for a short break is a luxury if we are in a place full of danger”

“Rest now”

Huang Qingyue nodded and slightly drew closer to the tree trunk. Then, he put up a cross-legged position to start recuperating.

“Ah .., Before I start meditating, you can take the spoils there” first

“There are some valuable items there and I can't believe that the lizard-man prince has a lot of ingredients”

Tian Jie : “How about the medicinal herb you are looking for ?”

Huang Qingyue : “I've picked it up first, sorry if it offends Tuan”

Tian Jie : “No problem, quickly meditate, we will go move find your friend before noon !”

Huang Qingyue nodded before closing her eyes and starting to meditate.

Tian Jie turned his gaze to the spoils before him. He then took one of the herbs to check. Vials shaped like pears are made of glass that contains red herbs.

‘from where did they get this herb ?’

‘Lizardfolk is not a humanoid creature smart enough to make this potion’

‘Will I save the potion first - this potion’

‘Do not just drink potions from enemies you defeat if you are not sure what the effect is !’

Tian Jie stored the herbs into his spatial ring. Then take out the javelin and check it out.

‘The quality is bad, if I use arcane strike level one, this javelin will not be able to withstand my spiritual power and instantly destroyed unless the metal part’

Tian Jie put the javelin back to the ground. He did not find any other valuable items that caught his attention. The gold that lizardfolk bring is indeed quite a lot if you hold a person who is not a cultivator. But in the eyes of Tian Jie who was a cultivator, that amount was like adding a glass of water into a lake. Finally Tian Jie did not pick up any other items and only took the potions for him to check out at a later time.

Looking at Qingyue who was still meditating, Tian Jie looked at her system panel.

“Live a little more and I can rise to the spiritual foundation level”

“I better speed up my cultivation process”

“In the fight I was able to win just because lucky the enemy only moves following his instincts”

“If he is in a condition that can fully control the movement of his, I will lose in a flash”

Tian Jie stood up and moved away looking for a place to cultivate. Finding a small hill not far from where Huang Qingyue was meditating, he climbed up the peak. The top of the hill was covered in grass, but Tian Jie knew that the ground structure beneath it was rocks.

“Huang Qingyue is still visible from here, If anything - what can I know it” directly

“Let's start if bergitu”

Tian Jie cleared the top of the hill, made a rock area with a diameter of ten meters and placed a flat stone in his arms for a place of cultivation. He then crossed his legs and closed his eyes to concentrate.

~huuuff~~haaa~

Heavy breathing sounds can be heard.

Tian Jie prepared his body to use the Burning Sun Art. His body was straight with his chest and stomach expanding and deflating. He waited for the sunlight to come out of the eastern horizon.

‘This time I will try to absorb spiritual energy to the extent that this body can accept’

Not long ago a line of red light came out from the eastern horizon and began to widen and shine in the sky.

Tian Jie used his Burning Sun Art technique to the maximum. Its extremely hot breath makes the light distorted and can be seen with the eyes.

The temperature of the surrounding air increases. The hot aura enveloping Tian Jie's body made him look like hot coals of pie.

‘Hot once, but still can be held’

Tian Jie began to absorb the spiritual energy from the sunlight. That fire-elemental spiritual energy filled his dantian and spread throughout his entire body's ki pathway. His blood vessels bulged out. The sweat that came out of his body almost instantly evaporated. Even though he had trouble maintaining his concentration, Tian Jie still tried to continue his technique.

‘come on my body, hold on a little more’

‘we must exceed our limits if we want to survive in this world’

Gritting his teeth while holding back the hot spiritual energy entering his body Tian Jie continued his cultivation. His dantian continued to expand due to the urging of the amount of spiritual energy entering. That spiritual energy also flowed into his bloodstream, clearing out the impurities in his blood and expelling them through the skin.

Tian Jie continued to continue with his Burning Sun Art technique until the sun seemed whole.

His body looks shabby because of the dirt and sweat that comes out. He continued meditation to stabilize his body. After his body felt normal he checked how advanced his cultivation level was.

[Name : Tian Jie

Level: Spiritual condensation

Next Level: Spiritual foundation

Spiritual energy: 423/500]

“kuh, up approximately twenty points of spiritual energy ya”

“If I force myself like that four more days I can break through to the realm of spiritual foundation”

Tian Jie then stood up from his meditation spot. But as soon as one foot stepped, his body slightly staggered forward.

“Side effect of Burning Sun Art Technique if used excessively start to feel”

“I guess I can already use it at this rate”

“Tomorrow will reduce the intensity a little, hopefully my body can hold it”

“As soon as possible I should get to my previous level”

“After returning to the spiritual Core realm level, I can be freer to return to the middle” continent

Tian Jie descended the small hill and approached Huang Qingyue's place. Up in front of Huang Qingyue, he stared at her meditating face.

‘yesterday I was a little rash against that lizardfolk’

‘if at that time I was alone, I would have chosen to run away from fighting them’

Tian Jie actually still did not trust Huang Qingyue completely. But somehow he felt sorry for Huang Qingyue and wanted to help her, even against an enemy that could be said to exceed the capacity of his.

Tian Jie smiled looking at Huang Qingyue who could calmly meditate and lower the guard around her.

‘at least you know he didn't do anything to me when I was unconscious’

Tian Jie could finally slightly entrust his back to Huang Qingyue.
