Chapter 188: 188. SECLUSION
“You need not worry about that for now. Just remember to return here when the ring signal’s you. Failure to do so will mean forfeiting your registration,” Rhy shrugged the question.
Noah could only keep his ideas to himself at that point, and silence soon spread before them.
“I really don’t know how you’ll do it, but try as much as possible to increase your power young man. The competition will be fierce, some will die, but only few will gain entry into our great guild,” Rhy adviced.
“I look forward to seeing you join our guild. Lightning affinity holders aren’t easy to come by.”
Noah performed a deep bow in genuine thanks, the expert had really made his day.
Noah proceeded to walk towards the exit after his bow, Rhys hawk-like gaze following him.
“Before I go. Why exactly is this place small. I know the space within it can be manipulated, but still, I expected something grander,” Noah turned to quickly speak.
A wide smile broke on Rhys face at that very familiar question. “You have no idea how many times I’ve had people ask me that. However, you’ll only understand when you are fully a member of our guild. Our abode…..is a bit special,” Rhy giggled, and Noah felt a powerful force act on his body, then he found himself outside.
Confusion and curiosity spread in Noah’s mind at that point, but he tried his best to limit it, his focus quickly going on his next plan.
“Three weeks,” Noah muttered, ‘I should be capable of getting stronger in that time,’ he thought, walking down the street with no real destination in mind.
“I hope this isn’t a waste of time like bozolom,” Noah spoke as doubts began to appear in his mind.
He didn’t like the wait that followed most events in that world, even though it was a totally normal.
Making provision for 12,000 humans wasn’t something to be rushed.
Noah replayed Rhys advice in his head, and the only way he could think of getting exponentially stronger was of course, through cultivating.
Having found that the boons of cultivating were actually much, Noah decided it was time to focus more on it.
A few weeks had gone and he had barely cultivated seriously, it was time to return into seculsion.
“A little exploring won’t kill me,” Noah eventually grinned after concluding on his plan.
He would be spending a long time grinding his way into power, a little fun wouldn’t hurt before that boring activity started.
The district of Gioh remained a large place, and there weren’t any shortage of engaging activities to try out.
Mostly eating his way through the restaurants around him, Noah spent only a tiny bit of his money.
He still had the Nindium plants which he could sell, but doing that would only slow him down, for now at least.
‘I can even utilize them. Or at least try,’ Noah thought, exiting a building with what looked like a slice of cake.
He had been greatly surprised to find that something bearing such resemblance to the earthly cusine exsisted.
However its taste remained horrible.
Ugly expressions spread on his face with each bite he took, but his powerful stomach didn’t manage to budge under the nauseating effects of the food substance.
How people enjoyed the disgusting mass of flour and condiments he couldn’t comprehend, left his mouth agape.
His meal of sorts eventually finished, and Noah felt himself really begin to consider opening a bakery in that world. That would be for the greater good of humanity in that planet.
“That tasted like shit,” Noah grimaced trying to freeze his tongue, but his spells didn’t work on him.
His icy blue eyes eventually paused to scan his surroundings. Ignoring the waves of people traversing the wide street meant only for those on foot, Noah took a deep breath, before exhaling. A cold mist forming in front of his mouth.
His figure still caught the attention of passerbys who had their focus partially on their surroundings, and he soon began to recieve gaze’s.
He limited himself to begin movement at that point, so as to avoid someone approach him. After all such had happened before.
Ideas on on what to do before the sunset were constructed and dismissed multiple times in mere seconds.
And he eventually arrived at one that wouldn’t get him killed or waste too much time, which was to take a bath.
‘It’s been a while,’ Noah thought finding his way to any building resembling an inn. ‘I wonder how I don’t smell in this world,’ he chuckled.
Eventually found an inn he didn’t hesitate to take a room for a period of 6 hours, since that was the least amount of time he could lodge in one.
Paying a sum of 5 small silver coins, Noah felt that price worth it since the whole place looked top-notch.
His entry into his room proved his earlier guess right, and Noah didn’t hesitate to dive into the bathroom.
A brown tub lay before him upon his entrance, causing a wave of nostalgia to fill his mind.
The most he had experienced in that world were simply hose’s that poured water.
Noah spent the next three hours calmly sitting inside his soapy tub, multiple thoughts filling his mind while in that soothing activity.
A wave of sleep tried to engulf him at some point during the three hours, but circulating a minute amount of his essence vanquished that feeling.
“It’s time,” Noah’s eventually muttered at some point, exiting the tub to wash himself clean and exit the room, not minding the three hours he had left.
An environment with an almost fully set-sun, lay before his eyes as Noah began his move towards a seemingly random direction.
At some point down the street, Noah felt he had experienced enough of that scenery, and his figure vanished.
Arriving Inside his cultivation room which had it’s surface filled with tens of bottles filled with the familiar yellow liquid, Noah waved his hand to store his gains. However, he unfortunately couldn’t make more of his potions, at least for now.
A prompt had informed him of the limit of his brewable speed potions being one hundred. As long as he had exactly one hundred at hand, more wouldn’t be produced.
Three golden books appeared, floating before him. As his now expressionless gaze fell on their surfaces.
A dialogue went on with the system, and he asked it to divide the day into three parts which he would use soley for cultivating all his vessels of power.
“Signal me when each session has ended,” Noah ordered putting off his black garment.
He felt the need to allow the essence which would soon fill that place directly come in contact with his skin, and he also didn’t want to destroy his only clothes.
“Which shall I start with…” He muttered glancing at his three manuals. Noah currently had a vague goal for the time period he would spend cultivating, and could only hope things would go well enough for that significant boost in power to be achieved.
Deciding to start with his essence core, Noah activated the cultivation room, while also setting its density to the level he could currently handle without much issues.
From that day on for the next couple of weeks, Noah did nothing but cultivate, cultivate and cultivate, as he prepared himself for the trials ahead knowing that they would test his limits. Hopefully.
