It has been three weeks since defeating the Golden Monkey King, and the decision on what Dana wanted to purchase from the system store was two items which she believed was absolute necessary.The first was a storage ring with 1500 cubic s.p.a.ce, originally she was concerned that it would be useless once she has grown in size even further however the system quickly removed her concerns as one of the features of the storage ring is it adapts towards her size, since coming into this world she realized how rapidly she has been growing in a mere week she had grown significantly. The system mentioned that most spirit beasts with dragon heritage has this trait, as many greedy cultivators and spirit beasts hunt for dragons as their bodies are littered with treasures. From the variety of items in the store Dana decided on having a storage ring as she believed that she has been to wasteful, as every spirit beast carca.s.s is a treasure and since hunting spirit beasts she had only been able to drag a small number of beasts carca.s.ses for her own consumption. Now with a storage ring she can store the valuable spirit beast bodies with her. And further with the system help she can ident.i.ty many rare spirit herbs which can be useful for her, or even towards other cultivators as she knew eventually she will return towards human society and it will be vital for her contain wealth with her whilst doing so.
Dana"s second item was a spirit fruit she found whilst browsing through the system, Power Fruit, which was the most effective fruit in a.s.sisting a cultivator in the Body Refining Realm. This spirit fruit is extremely beneficial for cultivators in the Body Refining Realm, and is one of the most desired cultivation resources for anyone below Qi Circulation realm. Even if your above the Body Refining Realm, it still has some beneficial affects of strengthening the body. Both items cost her 3000 soul points leaving a few thousand remaining, however she felt pleased with her purchase.
Since receiving the Power Fruit she discovered a lair of a Rank 4 Spirit Beast which she easily dispatched, seeing that it was a suitable area to cultivate in seclusion, Dana retrieved the Power Fruit out of her storage ring.
Dana decided to use the Golden Monkey King core to promote her into the Qi Circulation realm as it contains the the tens of years of cultivation" of the Great Monkey King therefore contains a large amount of pure Qi. Thus, she retrieved the Power Fruit from her storage ring and placed the fruit in front of her. The Power Fruit glowed with a red l.u.s.ter, seemingly packed full of energy as it laid in front of her. Without delay Dana directly consumed the Power Fruit.
A terrifying berserk energy sensation erupted inside her body, which immediately began to refine her body. Shocked seeing her body being strengthened rapidly, Dana immediately began to meditate and continuously absorb the energy from the Power Fruit.
Three weeks later the energy from the Power Fruit was fully a.s.similated into Dana"s body. Danas bones cracked as she risen from her meditation, her body continued growing stronger from her rise in cultivation rank. Dana"s size has once again increased, rivaling the once giant Iron Bear which formerly towered over her. Her muscles felt br.i.m.m.i.n.g with power.
"Peak of Rank 9 Body Refining" Dana muttered, a thrilled gleam in her eyes. I"m just one step away from Qi Refining Realm, Dana thought.
She was already informed of the cultivation ranks and knew that a Qi Circulation Spirit beast is considered fairly strong in this continent, so it was one of her goals to achieve in order to have some capabilities of defending herself. She no longer needs to be worried about common cultivators which usually hunted spirit beasts in this place, only notable cultivators in each Empire has enough strength to pose a threat to her.
Dana decided that she needed to achieve Qi Circulation realm as soon as possible, as soon as she thought this she heard the loud commotion of a large battle near her. A women"s scream echoed throughout the area as men shout for them to prepare themselves for battle. Realizing that the loud distressed voices of human cultivators are near showing a clear indicator that they were in a dire situation.
A part of her wanted remain completely ignorant about their troubles, while being fully aware of the problems that will arise if cultivators discover her existence. Nonetheless, as someone which spent their former life entirely as human, Dana which was never a heartless person in her former life cannot simple leave them to meet such a horrid fate. With a troubled look in her eyes Dana hastily heads towards the location of the noise.
