30: Just around the bend
Late at night, Hyesi and his mother stayed outside the stone house.
Ning Ruogong was still wondering why they didn't eat the food there.
"Do Body Cultivators really not need to eat?" He was still deeply shocked by the idea; he couldn't imagine what life would be like without eating.
"Oh, wait.... Hahaha. Am I not doing the same thing?" He started laughing to himself.
He looked around the village.
Although nothing could be seen at night, there was moonlight tonight, unlike yesterday's complete darkness.
He saw all the Villagers, about forty of them, sitting outside a dozen houses.
He didn't see any children, so they must have been asleep by now.
After all, they had to wake up before sunrise for their daily farming.
Suddenly, footsteps echoed from a distance, and many people spread out along the forest, entering the village.
"Inikaka, are you all right? We heard what Hyesi said. Is Fufurik really more powerful than we thought?" As soon as the travelers entered the forest, an elder spoke.
"Inikaka pities us, we haven't lost any of you," said a middle-aged woman, who stood up and walked to the leader, giving him a hug.
"Don't worry, my light, we will never die to that demon." The leader comforted, and Ning Ruogong guessed the person was his wife.
"Let the people settle down, we'll talk later.
Also, cook a fish today.
The people are tired and hungry from fighting the demon."
A fish wrapped in salt.
A woman stood up and immediately went to the storage room where the fish was kept, taking one out.
Someone started a fire with a few stones and dry leaves, then hung the fish directly over the fire.
Ning Ruogong looked at Hyesi, a little annoyed, as he had told him to learn to start a fire with a Candlelight, but the Villagers could light a fire so easily.
"Tomorrow I'll make him do more work," he thought.
After the fish was cooked, it was distributed first to the leader, then to the fighters, and finally to the other Villagers.
They went to sleep after eating their fill.
As yesterday, everyone woke up early in the morning, performing the same actions to prepare for the sunrise, and stopped once the sun rose above the horizon.
This time, Ning Ruogong finally understood what was going on.
"System, these people have successfully cultivated, does that mean their bodies no longer produce Yin?" he asked.
<Please purchase information from the store>
"Alas. How much does the basic Yin and Yang body explanation cost?" he asked.
<Basic Yin and Yang Body knowledge costs 45,000 Energy>
"Hmm... this is easy to buy, buy it." Ning Ruogong suddenly realized that he had the information in his mind, as if he had always known it.
Most people are born with both Yin and Yang, and their Yin and Yang cancel each other out, still possessing a normal body.
However, some people are born with an excess of one substance.
Some people have too much Yin in their bodies, causing all the Yang in their bodies to be destroyed, resulting in a Yin-leaning constitution.
These people cannot succeed through the Klavis cultivation method.
Hyesi is one of them.
On the other hand, some people are born with an excess of Yang, and all the Yin in their bodies is destroyed, leaving only Yang.
"Wait, are these people the most successful? Hey System, which body type helps the Klavis people the most?" he asked the System.
<Please purchase the answer from the store>
"Even so?" He continued to purchase advanced knowledge, spending 20,000 Energy.
"Huh? So people with a Yang constitution aren't good either?" He was surprised to learn that because their bodies were already accustomed to Yang, they didn't benefit much from this cultivation method.
The only people who benefited the most were those who had neither Yang nor Yin.
Days passed.
In a few more minutes, Ning Ruogong's cooldown for gaining more Energy would end from 24 hours.
He waited happily with a somewhat distracted Hyesi.
"What's wrong?" Ning Ruogong asked.
"No, nothing.
I'm fine." Hyesi replied in the most obvious way.
Ning Ruogong asked, "Tell me what you're thinking?"
"Smart Inikaka, you said you could give me strength within six days, but it's been seven days now, and I'm starting to doubt your words." Because Ning Ruogong was penalized for 24 hours, he couldn't start the same task at the same time the next day.
Therefore, the fire was inevitably delayed by a few days, because most of the time, the fire would burn until night, and Hyesi would have to go home by then.
"It's nothing.
I just... uh... I overestimated your strength.
But you are really weak, so I had to extend your task by a few days." Hearing this, Hyesi's mood began to turn gloomy.
The people in the village all said he was weak, and now even his own god was starting to say so.
Seeing his gloomy face, Ning Ruogong immediately said, "However, this doesn't mean you will always be weak.
Starting tomorrow morning, I will make you even stronger.
Believe in God's words."
Hyesi's face returned to normal.
"Yes, Smart Inikaka." He continued to do the work he had been accustomed to for the past eight days.
Ning Ruogong, however, opened his status to check how far he was from his goal.
"Status"
[Status Name: Ning Ruogong Energy: 20,468,285 Skills: Synchronized Thinking, Basic Mapping, Novice Klavis Language, Candlelight]
Ning Ruogong smiled, looking at how close he was to unlocking the Yin Fire Transformation skill, needing less than 2 million Energy out of the required 22 million.
"Alright, Hyesi.
Starting tomorrow, your strength will become incredibly strong."]
