The Card Cultivation System
CCS-12

A man was walking in a room. The facial sharpness that the man emitted was extremely worried.

That man is Fa Diala. Uncle Xika. He was very worried about Xika who was now in the Diamond Shake.

Fa Diala who was already happy to know that Xika could finally cultivate already said yes to Xika who wanted to train in the mountain behind her clan.

"Why did I let him go?"

"Is he okay?"

"Indeed what can a qi gathering stage 1 cultivator do in the middle of such a dangerous forest?"

"Why can't I find him?"

Fa Diala walked out of his house. Looking for fresh air. Looking at the dark sky, illuminated only by the light from the stars.

Suddenly he saw a child full of bruises staggering out of the mountain of his clan.

Fa Diala ran over to the boy.

"XICA!"

".....oh, hi uncle."

"Thank God he's alive. Hi eyes! What have you been doing this past week? Why can't I find you? Why did you come back after 3 days?"

Fa Diala was silent for a moment. He looked at Xika from top to bottom.

"What happened to you? Are you all right? Who did this to you? What are those bastards again? Just wait, I'll beat them up!"

"No uncle. No, not them anymore. I was injured while I was training. Take it easy, I've cleared it up."

--------------------------

"Say silence! Goddamnit! Once again you laugh I'll drop you!" said Huo Bing who was annoyed that Xika kept laughing.

But Xika did not care about Huo Bing's words.

And Huo Bing actually did what he said. He tilted his body. Xika who was still cool laughing was not ready for that. It fell from a height of over thousands of meters.

Xika coated her entire body with the wind trying to restrain herself from falling. Exactly 500 meters from the ground, it stopped. Not yet able to sigh in relief, a bird's claw pushed him down.

THE DUAKK!!!

Xika rubbed her head. His body was full of bruises.

"Damn it! What the-"

Xika looked at the silhouette of the bird above her.

"My back is sore so I stretch. But unfortunately my wings were cramping so I fell for a while.  Luckily someone was holding me back, so I didn't fall. By the way you're okay, right?" said Huo Bing with a very satisfied face successfully dropping and kicking Xika.

"Damn it! The half-finished bird. All right, your fur is bald! You must have intentionally! Just say you don't accept losing 33 times in a row to me!"

They argue until midnight. When the stars start to shine, they realize the situation around. They hurriedly returned to the clan.

But if they do not argue they can arrive when it is still afternoon. But unfortunately it is not possible, considering these two friends are very 'hobbyist' arguing. Plus they played cards long enough.

---------------------------

Xika smiled bitterly considering the incident just a moment ago.

"You sure you've cleared it? Such bastards you should at least beat up until they break some bones, otherwise they will come back to bother you."

"Calm down uncle, I've beaten him to pieces"

"What did you destroy?"  Huo Bing asked in a displeased and slightly insulting tone.

"Your worth is of course" Xika replied calmly.

".........."

Hearing Xika's reply, Huo Bing was speechless. What Xika said was indeed true, her pride had been shattered unceremoniously by Xika. He was defeated by a snot boy who was not even a tenth of his age.

And Xika is one of them. In capsah of course.

Hearing Xika's reply, Fa Diala was relieved. Xika applies her teachings.

Instead of being vengeful or something, she just wanted Xika to be uninterrupted. Fa Diala was afraid that if Xika did not respond to the child who was bothering her, they would think Xika was easily bullied.

That was why Xika had to avenge her bullies two or three times over.

However, it seemed Fa Diala did not need to remind Xika repeatedly.

Since childhood, even though Xika was bullied, she never let anyone go unharmed. At least he spit on her and gave her contempt.

Although, of course Xika suffered heavy injuries, many times more than them.

After checking Xika from top to bottom once again, Fa Diala invited Xika in for dinner.

Inside the house, Fa Diala asked his head for these few days. Starting from why he wanted to go to practice when it was only the Qi Gathering stage 1, what he did and why he had only returned today, why he could not find Xika even though Fa Diala had already reached the stage of Forming Qi 5.

And all those questions were answered when Xika took something out of her pocket. It was the Earth Spirit Root. A dense aura of land came out from that thing.

Earth Spirit Root is the root of a fairly rare plant, the Earth Spirit Tree. The plant grows only once every hundred years.  Due to the special physical condition of this plant, not many people know the shape of this plant, and people who know how to take this plant can be counted fingers. Earth Spirit Root was an extremely valuable plant to a land-mined cultivator. And coincidentally, Fa Diala was a land element cultivator.

Any plant that contains the element is very rare, as special conditions are needed in order to grow properly. For example, the Earth Spirit Root that Xika was carrying lived in an environment filled with earth elements.

Xika found this plant when she was kicked down by Huo Bing.

Thanks to her knowledge of reading books for more than 8 years, Xika knew the right way to take the roots of that plant.

Why is it that only the roots are taken? Each plant stores its energy in a different place. In that case, the Earth Spirit Tree stored it on the ground. Because this plant is a plant with soil elements, of course, it stores its energy in the place closest to the ground, namely the roots. Are the rest of the parts useless? Actually not really, it was just that Xika was 'taught' not to be greedy by Huo Bing. Huo Bing said to leave some parts for the plant to grow back.

Earth Spirit Tree is a magical plant that evolved by absorbing qi from the ground, so it can grow back even if its roots are taken.

Seeing the Earth Spirit Root in Xika's hands, Fa Diala had already understood everything.

Perhaps wanting to practice was only Xika's reason for searching for a spiritual plant for Fa Diala. The reason just came back today is also because of this plant. Valuable plants like this were definitely guarded by powerful spiritual hewns.

Perhaps the reason Fa Diala was unable to find Xika was because Xika was hiding in order to take this plant, and it must have taken quite a long time.

Although Xika actually did not need to hide in order to take the Earth Spirit Root, when Xika fell kicked Huo Bing he fell right on the head of the Earth Bound Beast.  Huo Bing's kick was quite violent, plus Xika's body was stronger by several times than a normal cultivator's body.

As a result, the Earth Spirit Bound died unnoticed by Xika and Huo Bing.

Had the Earth Spirit Bound not died, Huo Bing would have firmly told him to fight against the beast no matter his cultivation level.

Fa Diala sighed looking at the Earth Spirit Root in Xika's hand. He rubbed Xika's head then took the Earth Spirit Root that Xika Daritadi had proffered.

"Uncle thanks for your intentions. Next time, don't push yourself too much. If you find it hard enough don't push yourself. You can go back and tell uncle the location.  Uncle will take it himself. Okay?"

Xika smiled and nodded.

He had dinner with his uncle, then went up to his room.

In her room, Xika recalled the Ultimate Deck that Huo Bing had taught her.

One step is done. There are only three more steps to being able to cultivate the Ultimate Deck.

Xika sat on her bed, then closed her eyes and absorbed the qi.

His uncle would at least grow stronger by one level with the spiritual plants he brought with him.

With the ferocious beast meat he obtained plus the help of Huo Bing, catching up with his uncle would definitely not take long. The moment that happened, Xika was able to help her uncle work in the clan.

He will not be disturbed by another child.

But what he thought never happened.
