I'm Not a Real Master
CH 8: Body Cleaning Pills
At that moment Liu Huan felt like he was in a deadly trap. His life was so fragile and easily shattered like glass that was ready to break at any moment. However, he did not give up just like that. Confidently, he tried to explain the situation he was in to Shiori who was looking at him sharply like a hungry lion ready to pounce on its prey.
"It turns out you still remember to go home," Shiori said in a sharp voice.
"Well, he must be this furious," Liu Huan murmured inwardly, feeling the tension in the air growing more and more palpable.
However, with deep sadness, Liu Huan apologized to Shiori for losing the fight he had just fought. Seeing the expression of her sad husband, Shiori took a deep breath and made a surprising decision.
"So, now go take a bath and we continue our conversation," Shiori said in a softer tone, calming down Liu Huan who was in confusion.
"Thank you, my wife," said Liu Huan quickly hugging Shiori and running to the bathroom.
"Hey you," Shiori said instantly as she was hugged by Liu Huan.
In the bathroom, Liu Huan began to ponder. He thought about the meaning of power in human life. Why do people have to hurt each other to prove themselves? Can true power only be gained by ruining the lives of others?
Meanwhile, a message appeared before him:
[New mission detected, SS level difficulty: Help Shiori win the battle with other sects, cultivation mission reward increased, spiritual ability, can make any ability, all status rose to the maximum level]
Liu Huan was surprised to see the message. Finally, the last major mission appeared! Of course, he accepted the challenge with great confidence.
[Warning!: If the host fails to perform this mission, your existence will be removed. You are prohibited from revealing your identity during the mission.]
"Ok, I accept this challenge," Liu Huan replied steadily.
[Confirming the spirit of the host: giving the host a gift, a gift has been sent in the inventory.]
"Let's see what kind of reward the system gives" Liu Huan said, hastily opening the inventory.
At that moment, he saw a black pill was in the inventory. Liu Huan opened the information regarding the pill and was surprised by what he read. That pill could make ordinary humans able to cultivate in this world.
“So this is like a magic medicine to make me a true cultivator,” muttered Liu Huan while looking at the black pill in his hand.
[Right, the original cultivation of the host would not be disturbed. This pill only made the host have the aura of a cultivator so as not to be underestimated by the person from this world]
Liu Huan looked at the black pill in his hand meticulously, examining each side and corner. After convincing himself that it was really the pill he needed, Liu Huan began to eat the pill carefully. First, he felt a quite strong bitter taste in his mouth. Then, slowly, he felt spiritual energy flooding all over his body, from head to toe.
“Hmm…. Chocolate taste” he said after swallowing the pill “Is system with this I have the aura of a cultivator?” liu huan asked doubtfully.
[Hosts used to have it, but since the host is not from this world only I can know the cultivation of the host. The pill is just an accessory for me]
“Don't you say so” said liu huan while smiling cynically.
After quite a while in the bathroom, liu huan rushed out from there and put on his clothes. After which he returned to the room and looked at the meditating shiori. At that moment for some reason, liu huan was able to see the spiritual flow and datian of the shiori.
“What is a flow shaped like a series of blue threads” murmured liu huan saw it, like seeing water flowing in a calm river.
[that's meridians. Because of the pill earlier, the host could see the spiritual flow, meridians, dantians, and cultivation levels of others]
“Begukah” muttered liu huan walked towards shiori, while trying to hide her astonishment and joy.
At the moment, liu huan approached towards shiori, liu huan noticed that a black colored object was blocking the flow of meridians from shiori, “What is this?, did he encounter any obstacles?” murmured liu huan watched closely, like a detective finding an important clue.
“System do you know something?” liu huan asked with a growing sense of curiosity.
[That black thing is Bottleneck. The mistake of making a cultivation breakthrough, because that mistake made the meridians inside him fall apart]
“Keep how to fix it?” liu huan asked with an increasingly serious face.
[You can simply make a pill from the ingredients you have purchased and let him swallow it]
“Well, alright” said liu huan as he pondered his next move, like a chemist planning an experiment.
[You just simply cook the food as in your previous world, it will automatically become a pill because of the ability you have gained]
Liu Huan felt a little amazed by his new abilities, as if he was a chemical processing expert who could make new formulas easily.
“Oh, is that how” Liu huan said, a smile piece etched on his lips.
Like a floater on a cloud, it cut the spiritual roots into pieces nimbly. Then, he put the cooking spices and water that has been heated into the pot. As the spiritual water boiled, liu huan gently inserted the spiritual root he had cut earlier. A fragrant aroma was smelling in the air, as if playing like soft music in the ears. Without hesitation, liu huan re-inserted the spiritual leaf he had carefully chosen. Then, he turned off the stove fire gently and silenced it for a few minutes.
“Finally finished” said liu huan with a gasp of breath. “Let's see if this dish instantly turns into a pill or not.”
The moment Liu huan opened the lid of the pot, instantly the dishes he had made turned into a brown pill. “Success” said liu huan with mounting excitement, “Let's see the information!”
In the information of the pill, there is a writing that states that this pill is a body cleansing pill that serves to repair the body due to errors in cultivation.
“My wife, I came” said liu huan rushed to his wife's place with steady steps, he said,
As liu huan returned into the room, shiori opened her eyes. He saw Liu huan carrying a pill in his hand, “What do you bring, Liu Huan?” shiori asked in a soft voice, as if she was an angel descending from heaven.
“My wife, try this. It can help improve your cultivation” said liu huan giving the pill
“When does he know if I have a problem in cultivation?” shiori wondered in her mind.
“No need, you just use it for dirim...” at that time shiori was silent for a moment, as if time stopped for a moment and the world stopped spinning.
“Liu Huan try you to sit next to me” Shiori said in a soft voice.
“Eh, what's up?” liu huan asked confusedly
Not wanting to incur Shiori's anger, Liu Huan finally obeyed her orders and sat down beside her. "As I expected, you have finally managed to break through to the basic core of the early stage," Shiori said with a sharp gaze.
Liu Huan replied casually, "Maybe it's because I always try hard." But in truth, he felt sad that his cultivation was higher than Shiori mentioned.
"Congratulations," Shiori said suddenly, then hugged her.
"Eh?" Liu Huan was surprised by Shiori's sudden action.
"So what did you want to give me?" shiori asked after releasing a hug.
"Please take these pills. This can help you deal with your problems" Liu Huan said, giving the pill away.
Shiori hesitated to take the pill. However, seeing Liu Huan's expression, he finally decided to eat it. "Alright, I'll eat it," Shiori said.
The moment Shiori ate the pill, there was a sudden surge of spiritual energy that made her feel excruciating pain. The night was clear with a sky full of stars. The wind blew gently and made the leaves of the trees move in a rhythmic rhythm. The sounds of crickets and other night insects fill the air with a serene harmony of nature.
Suddenly, the mood changed. Along with the breakthrough made by Shiori, lightning roared in the distance and approached quickly. Flashes of light and thumping sounds filled the air. It was as if the calm realm earlier had now become chaotic.
Shiori felt a tremendous pain within her. His body was trembling and sweating. All the spiritual energy gathered within him seemed to be unbearable and billowing out. The sound of agonizing cries that broke the silence of the night rang out from his mouth. Heavy rain fell from the sky, as if adding to the intensity of an uncontrollable thunderstorm.
"It hurts!" shiori shouted while enduring the unbearable pain.
"System, what's going on?" asked Liu Huan worriedly.
[Calm down, host. This was a natural thing to happen when making a breakthrough. It seemed like Shiori had managed to break through her Meridian barrier and breakthrough to the next stage. Because of this, he lacked that energy and ended up feeling tremendous pain.]
"Then, how can I help her?" liu Huan asked worriedly at the sight of Shiori in pain.
[Of course, in that way.]
"That?" liu Huan said in astonishment.
[Yes, that.]
"Basic system, damn it!" liu Huan was upset when he finally understood what the system meant.
