Death… And Me

Chapter 878 - Roan\'s Pill

Soon after, Rean left the hut and bid farewell. "Alright, I need to go back to work. I\'m quite far away, after all." Rean knew he would need to fly a few hours to arrive in the city he was working in, but he still thought it was worth the trouble.

Roan finally got some peace after that. "Zuo Fin, it is, as that guy says. I can be your master and teach you as many things as possible. However, there\'s a task I have to do ten months from now. I don\'t know if I\'ll be back from there or not, so you might end up on your own after that."

Calina shook her head in response, saying, "He won\'t be on his own. He will still have the Freedom Sect to rely on." Calina then smiled at Zuo as she continued, "Of course, I\'ll be going with Roan as well. You better think well about it."

Zuo didn\'t understand very well all of that, so he simply asked what mattered for him the most. "What about my parents? Will they be able to live well?"

"Of course!" Calina answered straight away. "All the parents of the disciples that just joined the sect will be taken care of by the sect. You don\'t need to worry about that."

"Then, I accept." With that, Zuo finally decided to take the offer. He still didn\'t know what a great opportunity it was, nor how lucky it was Roan who found him. In any case, that would become more apparent in the future.

"Very good," Roan said as he touched Zuo\'s back. "Now, try to use your Spiritual Energy and Element once again. I want to check your body."

Calina couldn\'t help but mention, "Isn\'t it a problem to have a different element? After all, we definitely don\'t have a cultivation manual for him."

Sure enough, this planet wasn\'t different regarding this point. There were only cultivation manuals for those of the five mainstream elements. The only exception was the Body Transformation Realm, in which a few generic ones could be acquired. But once Zuo entered the Energy Gathering Realm, he would be clueless on what to do.

However, Roan shook his head, saying, "If there isn\'t a cultivation manual for Magnetism, then I just need to create one," Roan said that in a very confident tone. He had memorized thousands of different manuals. Not to mention that Roan had modified many of them as well. If he wanted to, he could come up with a cultivation manual for each element.

Zuo then followed Roan\'s instruction and used his Spiritual Energy and Element. They continued like that for a few minutes before Roan asked, "Alright, which Body Transformation Manual have you been using so far?"

The boy shook his head, replying, "I don\'t know. It was my parents who taught me how to cultivate. They are also in the Body Transformation Realm...or so they said."

Roan didn\'t mind that as he said in response, "Alright, then repeat to me the things they told you to do while cultivating." As long as he knew the process, he would be able to identify it.

Zuo did as Roan asked. Eventually, Roan understood which manual Zuo was using. "From what you told and showed me, you\'re using the Down to Earth Body Transformation Manual. It\'s a pretty common manual but has the advantage of being able to be used by anyone." Roan then pondered on which manual he should give Zuo instead.

"Forget it. Just keep using this manual of yours. Its properties will be helpful once you enter the Energy Gathering Realm." Soon after, Roan took a pill out and gave it to Zuo. "Swallow it. I made it with a few rare herbs. Since you\'re already in the Spiritual Vision Stage of the Body Transformation Realm, it should be enough to allow you to breakthrough."

Zuo was surprised to hear that since he knew how hard it was to breakthrough. Obviously, he didn\'t think about any possible consequence as a kid and took the pill straight away. Well, that suited Roan\'s need anyway.

Following that, Zuo felt a surge of medicinal and spiritual power in his body. In just a few moments, he reached the peak of the Spiritual Vision Stage and was ready to open his meridians.

"Follow your cultivation manual. The pill\'s medicinal power will assault your closed meridians and help you open them. They will also be a lot wider than ordinary meridians, thanks to that. However, brace yourself for some pain. My pill will destroy any impurity in your meridians, and that\'s quite annoying."

*Arrgh!*

As soon as Roan said that, Zuo felt the pain. Naturally, he started to cry straight away. "Stop crying! If you don\'t start opening the meridians, the medicinal power will make your body burst apart. Do you want to blow into thousands of pieces?"

Roan\'s words scared Zuo out of his mind. He finally understood why the guy was called the Demon King. Zuo then gritted his teeth and tried to remember his parents\' teachings.

Roan nodded as he saw that Zuo began to open his meridians with his Spiritual Sense. At the same time, his pill\'s properties widened them and got rid of all impurities on their paths. Calina, Malaka, Agis, and the others in Roan\'s group already passed through that once they returned to the sect, so Calina could imagine what Zuo was feeling. \'Well, this is for his future.\'

One meridian, two meridians, three...with the help of Roan\'s pill, Zuo opened his meridians in record time. Usually, that would be enough to kill the kid. However, Roan made that pill using both Dark and Light Element, so Rean\'s Light Element protected his body in the process. When the final meridian was open, the medicinal power of Roan\'s pill ran out.

*Thud!*

Following that, the kid fell to the ground, unconscious.
