Immortal Taoist

Meng Lin returned to her courtyard, her mind buzzing with the experiences she had in the Ancient Spirit Beast Pagoda.

She sat down to meditate and digest her experiences and couldn't help but think about the two Senior diciples that she met today.

Yue Feng and Liang Chen, Yue Feng gave her the feeling of a quiet and reserved person, her blank eyes made it almost impossible to see what the other was truly thinking.

Liang Chen, on the other hand , was the complete opposite. He was loud, arrogant, and seemed to take pleasure in belittling others.

Meng Lin couldn't understand the man but she felt a strong sense of both urgency and danger when he got near her.

As she continued to meditate, she realized that it wasn't her place to judge others. She had her own goals to focus on, and she couldn't let the actions of others distract her from her path.

“System”

[Meng Lin]

[special physique: Brute Qi physique]

[Foundation Establishment Stage(Late)]

[Experience points: 6%]

System coin:450

Taoist Gacha wheel: available

[Spiritual root]

[Water>Fire>Gold>Wood>Earth]

Variant : [Elemental Qi - Mud]

Variant: [Elemental Qi - Erosion]

[Cultivation methods: Basic Qi Gathering] [Focused Qi control] [Waterfall slash] [Refine Yin Qi] [Surge] [Thunderbolt Flash] [Formless Cultivation method] [Market]

Meng Lin smiled as she saw her experience points increase. She had made progress in her cultivation and she knew that it was all thanks to the Pagoda.

She decided to focus on her new elemental Qi control, specifically the mud and erosion variants.

She had notice that the system changed their designs and she attributed that to her comprehension of them.

She wanted to understand them better and see how she could use them to improve her cultivation.

As she meditated, she shut out any thoughts and feelings while immersing in the emptiness of her mind.

A couple hours later Meng Lin opened her eyes before shifting focus to her Elemental Qi, trying to understand the layout of the two.

She felt the mud Qi flow through her, thick and heavy, like the earth itself. While the erosion Qi felt sharp and corrosive, like a powerful acid.

She experimented with controlling the Qi and found that she could manipulate the mud variant to create a dense shield around her body, while the erosion variant could be used to corrode and weaken her opponents' defenses.

She also realized that her Mud Qi was rich with nutritious effects, as well as a coating and sealing effect, it hardens at her request and she could form a variety of shapes and structures with it.

On the other hand, her Erosion Qi had a unique ability to dissolve and break down any material, even spiritual weapons and armors, however it doesn’t differentiate friend and foe and she could get caught in it.

Ever since Meng Lin had fully comprehended the two she had wondered what the difference was between them and natural spiritual qi in the air.

What she realized was that the regular spiritual qi in the air could only be described as having a low concentration while variant Elemental Qi would have rich concentration.

Cultivators perform rich concentration through various manuals or techniques thus increasing their Qi quality.

If a cultivator reaches a certain realm they might be able to change their normal five elements into elemental qi, exponentially increasing their power.

Meng Lin was fascinated by the versatility of her elemental Qis and how they could be used in different situations.

She couldn’t help but think of how far she could really go in the ancient Spirit Beast Pagoda.

‘It would be way better if I can have a sword’ she thought, however thinking about her brute qi she sighed.

“I wonder if there’s a place I can buy some equipments.”

“I still haven’t gotten my diciples uniform and my flying sword, so I might as well go out again.”

However before that, she still had one more thing to take care of, she looked at the Gacha Wheel option which shone available and clicked it.

Dragon tiger sword

Soul wondering pills x5

Lv.1 Alchemist furnace

Cultivation suppression talisman lv.5

Divine Bone strengthing pill x2

[system meridian]

Intermediate system pack

>Superior Booze gift bag

Holy Brute Qi cultivation technique

Immortal jades x9

Meng Lin looked at the new addition, superior booze girt bag, and couldn’t help but become curious.

Booze, she didn’t think that could ever appear in the Gacha Wheel, however she should have expected it, considering all the other things that appeared there.

She didn’t waste any more time and a small wheel appeared before her and she stretched her hand to spin it.

Watching the wheel spin for a few seconds, Meng Lin raised an eyebrow when the wheel stopped, having landed on a slot.

Intermediate system pack

Meng Lin was a little excited to see what the pack contained, the last time she opened one was when she just stepped through the Foundation Establishment Realm.

[Do you wish to open the package]

‘Yes’

It glowed bright before shattering to show the contents in it, the light disappeared to reveal four items appearing in front of her.

[You have recived 1000 system coins, 400 spirit stones, 1 concealment talisman, Purple Cloud Grass x4, 5 beast forage]

Meng Lin smiled as she saw the contents of the pack. The system coins and spirit stones would be useful for purchasing equipment and materials, while the concealment talisman would be handy in case she needed to hide her presence.

This would be her second one as she still had not used the first one, she had been saving it for an extreme situation.

It can only hide from Soul Wondering cultivators and below so it would have been completely useless, had she used it against Lord Yuan when she was captured.

Turning her head to the last two rewards she smiled as she looked at the beast forage, she had been wondering about it lately.

And the Purple Cloud Grass was a rare medicinal herb that she could use to exchange or refine pills as it was a little rare.

Overall, it was a good haul from the intermediate system pack.

“Oh” Meng Lin suddenly remembered, swiping against her storage bag, 4 flowers suddenly appeared, glowing blue with qi.

It was the four flowers that were by the side of the pond where she met the early Rank 2 Lighting Python.

Before she couldn’t find a method of identifying the four flowers so she kept them in her storage bag and gradually forget about them but now she was easily able to identify them.

Qi tendrail Flowers, they were known to have a variety of uses, including refining pills and enhancing some body cultivation techniques.

Meng Lin couldn't help but feel grateful for stumbling upon them as they really might be of use to her.

With her mind at ease, Meng Lin got up from her crossed legged position and headed towards one of the division building for new diciples.
