Life Drain System

Yueliang knowing what she was trying to do thought. 'Thank you, although I love making time for you, you are right I need to work hard to make us happy and safe..... Well time to get to head home and get to cultivation then.' He thought excitedly.

Heading home, he saw many different different sceneries as he was taking a different route than usual thinking. 'I should really take her out for a picnic some time, the landscape here really is breathtaking. Also, it is peaceful here, with the birds chirping and the small animals playing. It seems perfect.' ​​

Then another thought came to mind. 'Maybe I should cultivate here. The only problem would be if someone disturbs me. Well, no need to worry about that until I get myself farther along anyway. Well I should get home first, I can think about this later.'

---- About 30 minutes later ----

"Ah, finally back home." He said to himself as he arrived in front of 'Rongyu Zhi Jia' (House of Honor) the title he came up with for his business & home. Yue then walked in and went to his room. Once inside he summoned helping hand quickly to lift his bed, while he started drawing an ancient Chinese array formation for aiding in drawing in spiritual energy. He did this to quicken his cultivation once he started.

After this, he set down his bed off to the side, went to his blacksmithing room, and got a shovel and metal bucket. He then used the fireball spell from memory, however rather than launching it as a projectile he poured a lot of magnesium over the array formation he just drew and lit it with the fire ball, then canceled the spell. Once it melted the floor where he wanted, he used the shovel to pick it up then poured it in the bucket to use later, of course he would have to separate the materials.

After all that was done, he melted down pure gold in his forge, then poured it into most the holes he just made to make the array. Then he took out the plants he bought on his way back and placed them around the array into the rest of the holes he made, then used magical energy in place of chi since he could not use it yet, to connect the plants and the array.

Once the array was completed, he just waited for the gold to finish hardening, and hoped that because he used mana rather than chi, that it would not produce mana instead. However if it did he would just make another with chi the next time or both.

While waiting for the metal to cool, he decided to look at his cultivation manuals he obtained, and see which he wanted to start with. Once he pulled out all the manuals, he saw that some where techniques not just cultivation methods, so he put those back for now until he could use them. Then he looked at what was left.

[Heavenly Soul Refining] [Divine Body Refinement] [Divine Sword Refinement]

{Focuses on Inclusiveness, {Hardens and strengthens {Focuses on having swordsman's

and absorptive capacity.} to best of body refinement} body, and sword qi}

[More].....

Clearly the best is heavenly Soul Refining, for allowing proficiency in everything and more qi than others for the soul. However to be the best I need to cultivate my body as well. Although body refinement is nice, the Divine Sword Refinement is better because swordsman are stronger, more durable, and have sword qi. It may not seem like much difference but it is like being a piece of metal vs a diamond. Diamond is harder and sharper as a basic comparison.

"Well, it should be cool by now." Yueliang said to himself as he got up and checked. The floor was cool, and it looked great. He sat down about to start cultivating, when he noticed. "Shoot, this is producing mana. Oh well, I guess I will go without the array formation for now." So he used hand of magic to pick up his bed and place it back where it was, then when to a corner of his room. He placed down a blanket, sat down and looked over both Heavenly Soul Refinement, and Divine Sword Refinement techniques before he started to make sure he had everything down right.

Normally one would not cultivate two separate techniques at once, however these two go together well. Just to make sure he asked yang. 'Am I able to cultivate these at the same time, or no?'

"Yes master, you are able to, however not in the sense you are thinking. Divine Sword Refinement requires you to practice while practicing the sword technique in it. In order to do this, you will be circulating your chi along that route. However while it follows the same route as the Heavenly Soul Refinement, it is different. The reason being is you will allow your chi to spread while following the path to your skin, then pull back to your muscles, then your veins and arteries, then your organs, and so on. This will thus forth harden each of these while you are exercising. Also, due to doing this it will take slightly longer, however you will essentially be practicing both at once no matter what." Yang replied happily.

'Alright, thank you Yang.' Yueliang replied.

"Of course master" Yang said.

Yueliang then got up, and made a basic sword, however in order to make it strong he folded it various times, and made sure it was a carbon, Damascus steel chinese style sword. It took about and hour and a half to do this, and wrap leather around the handle to have a nice handle.

After he finished this, he started sword cultivating, even though it was a terrible idea to cultivate at night normally when you first start out. He was swinging the sword and doing the stances according to what was listed. He was also trying to move the chi in his body through the path he was supposed to, which was difficult to get the feeling of at first. After a few hours, he had the hang of it. It was bout midnight, and he could feel that he was gradually getting the technique down, however it would take a while before he was able to complete his foundation establishment stage.

After a few more minutes he got tired, so he started cultivating the heavenly soul refinement technique while siting the proper way. As he did not want to mess up his cultivation he did not let the chi spread as he did while moving, because he was uncertain what would happen. This was a little more difficult as it required more fine control than just keeping it in his body refining different parts. He recited his mantra for this technique in his heart which was oddly similar to the other one he practiced earlier.

Although Yue had many question he kept his mind clear, and just continued until sunrise. He felt well rested and was doing better. Then he thought to himself. 'I guess this is only easier because I practice with mana as well. However if these two techniques are so similar, I wonder if I can combine them?'

"Master, although I understand what you are feeling as I am curious about it as well, I do not recommend trying this. It could derail you. If you want I recommend fixing it later if you still want to. Also, remember to never cultivate in front of others until you are strong enough. If someone sees your techniques, not only could they copy them, but they may realize what sects they came from. This system was designed to take knowledge and a lot of other things, and make it accessible to the master that has it. In your case you are using the top basic techniques from the top two sectors in the cultivation field. it is also the same with your other classes, they were learned from the top fields." Yang said to Yueliang in response to his question.

"Wait, so then basically the system is stealing this information and resources?" Yueliang asked.

"No master, we, the system, take the users life force in exchange. One of your ancient ancestors created this. They were the top of all the main fields at the time, and they wanted to give their descendants an inheritance that would last forever. Although this has been long since forgotten. Anyways, any of your family, which you are the last living descendant, only lives to the age of 24 because of this. However you along with your father and others in order to live longer complete quests.

If your family did not have the system, you would live to 120 or longer, like any other people of this era. Also, in order to produce what we give the user, the life force taken is thus converted into what the system uses/ provides. Although if the user lives more than a hundred years, every century or so we have to replenish this energy. Also, we do not necessarily take a century of life from you. We calculate your fate and take the amount of years until you are supposed to die. In your case 160 years, hence why we can even communicate unlike any of your ancestors. Although technically the ancestor who created us would have been able to as well, however he never used it. Come to think of it I wonder if he is still alive." Yang replied.

"Phew, so basically just duplicates of sorts, and I guess that answers my questions about you. I mean of course something as powerful as you does not come without its costs. That also explains where you came from." Yang said kind of happy that he now understood.

"Also master, even if you add points into chi, that just gives you the amount. Whether you can control or even circulate and utilize it is up to the effort you put in, as I am sure you well know by now. Soon you will even be able to learn from... nevermind that is for later." Yang stated.

"Well, I should get back to cultivating now, soon there will be a lot to do..." Yueliang said to himself.
