I looked at the rock closely. It seemed interesting for now. There were inscriptions all over the smooth surface. I just did not understand them.

“Why the hell did you make me buy the rock in the first place? You better give me a good reason system.” I said.

Ping!

“The system has sensed a trace of intelligent life within the stone. It may be an incubator of some sort, and as long as it is fed with the right amount of energy, a powerful creature will emerge from it. The system has confirmed that it will increase Host’s chances of completing the world.” the system said nonchalantly.

“An egg? So this is like a dragon’s egg or something?” I asked.

“Error! System cannot look up information that is beyond User’s authority. Please level up and update the system to know more and to unlock extra features.” the system buzzed.

“I need to level up damn it. Fine then. But if I can’t store this in the spatial ring, then where the hell do I put it? The whole city knows that this dude in room 1 bought the rock. I should just put it in the inn.” I told myself as I walked out of the room. I put the egg in my sleeve, although it was obvious that I had something hidden there. I just didn’t want it visible to the public eye and draw attention.

I left the auction house. The crowd was still present, but I could not see my father here anymore. I heaved a sigh of relief and headed back to the in that I was in a week before. I had paid to stay there for a while, and eventually, I decided that I would rent it for an extended period of time, and maybe have this as a secondary base of operations.

I entered the room and looked around. There was not a lot going around. I hesitated for a moment. What I had in my hands cost a thousand spirit coins. That was probably more than the building was worth. Could I trust it somewhere outside my supervision? Especially when it was apparently so important to me and my future, according to the system? I decided against this. I decided that I would hide it in my room, and if things really did go wrong, then the man in room 1 would become the mysterious master who helped me out.

I took off the hat and walked to the Liu Family estate. The guards did not question me, although they looked at the bump in my sleeve with suspicion. I went to my room and silently put the egg right below my pillow. Then, I left the room. I needed to let my father know that I got back, or he would probably freak like everyone did when I went to the training grounds without telling anyone.

I went to his room and knocked, but there was no one there. Seeing that there was nothing else that I could actually do, I just went back into my room, and started practising the Heaven Devouring Art. Although it was a very small place, it was enough for the skill. Except for the Blue Dragon Spear Art, everything else that I knew could be practised within the room itself.

I stopped for a moment.

“System. How do I use the Qi Condensation pill that I have right now?” I asked as I took out the pill from one of the boxes that I kept around the room. The pill, the muddy way that it was right now, gave me over a hundred thousand spirit coins, so I knew that there was something special about it.

“User has to consume the pill and complete a cycle of heaven devouring art. That should be enough to consume the total efficacy of the pill.” the system said.

I nodded, and popped the pill into my mouth and started a cycle of the heaven devouring art. Within a few moments, a could feel a hot and searing pain through all my veins. It was not as painful as when I was first completing the heaven devouring art.

All the Qi that seemed to come from the pill coursed through my body, and all of it gathered at the center of my torso, right below my heart. It was a very dangerous place to hold a source of energy, but there was no way that I could actually control that. I could feel that the size of the ball that the Qi had created was not a lot, maybe the size of a walnut? But it was significant.

Ping!

“Cultivation increased by 2 years.” the system said.

“System homepage. I want to see how much I need to get to the next level.”

“User needs 4000 exp to level up.” the system said.

“I need that much to level up? It looks like I have a very long week up ahead of me. Maybe by the end of the month, I will start working on actual fights. I should win the competition with the Liu Family members first though, try my luck and defeat everyone here and then maybe think about winning the martial gathering.” I said as I got up.
