Ancient Tears BloodLine

(From MC's POV)

The Iron Post City,

At the hotel,

Mr. Jonathan looked at me with an appreciative gaze. Zack's thoughts were in line with his master's. His master had previously expressed that a bandit hunting mission would immensely help Zack's growth.

Once he gets successful in his bandit hunting mission, Then he won't suffer in the upcoming Crimson Hall event. Maybe this bandit hunting stone is the real grinding stone for Zack.

Then he nodded and looked around his surroundings. This is not their own turf, but it's a hotel. Mr. Jonathan absolutely believes in the concept of walls having ears.

That's why instead of mentioning it as a lightning treasure openly He is naming it "a gift from the outside." And Zack is also clever enough to understand this.

At his current level, no one can get past his defence to overhear their conversation. But still, after his probing of Zack made him realise that Not to underestimate anyone.

As a precaution, he takes out a small formation disc from his storage ring. This circular silver coloured plate is brimming with energy. It has a huge world energy stone in its center. It will act as a source to power the formation.

Mr. Jonathan placed it on the ground. He asked Zack to sit near the formation plate. so it can provide good cover for him.

Hearing Mr. Jonathan's words, I immediately acted. I sat cross-legged near the formation plate.

Next, Mr. Jonathan put his mind into the formation plate to activate it. As the formation plate is activated, a colourless screen begins to envelop the entire room. It formed a dome-like shape to cover us.

Then I turned towards Mr. Jonathan. He is taking something from his storage ring. I don't have to ask; it's a gift.

Mr. Jonathan takes out the lightning ore from the storage ring.

"INFINITE LIGHTNING ESSENCE PEARL"

When Mr. Jonathan brought this thing outside, The lightning pearl almost blinded everyone with its dazzling purple light.

The formation immediately acted to dispel the light. Inside the formation, the lightning pearl shines brightly. But outside the formation, no one can see what's happening inside.

The formation layer acts as an invisible screen to obstruct people's senses.

Looking at the purple coloured object in Mr. Jonathan's palm, I don't know for what reason exactly, but my breathing is getting shorter.

I immediately take my gaze off of it and begin to calm my heart. I don't need to think about the purple object. It is the one resource that I desperately need.

This purple object is the real deal. It's pure lightning treasure. Unlike the monster cores and other treasures, there is no contamination whatsoever in them.

The energy that I can feel is very pure. This feeling is a little closer towards the lightning scripture in mind.

I know there is no reason to compare them. because the scripture is way beyond my knowledge. And this purple-colored object is the first lightning treasury I have come across.

If not for Mr. Jonathan, I would have already grabbed the thing.

On the other hand, Mr. Jonathan dispels the left over violent energy coming off of the pearl.

Then he saw Zack, who kept staring at the pearl in his hand. Mr. Jonathan commented, "This thing is called an infinite lightning essence pearl. I got this thing from the lightning zone."

"Compared to other lightning resources This one is highly sought after because of its gentle pure energy. It can be directly refined by warriors without any auxiliary materials. "

My heart skips a beat upon hearing his explanation. Is it directly consumable treasure? But from the beginning, I didn't use any auxiliary materials for my cultivation.

It could be my Lightning Essence Cultivation or my Blood Method of my body.

The heaven-defying ability of the blood method helps me refine blood pills or monster cores directly. There is no need for auxiliary materials whatsoever.

But even after using it, I still have to use Blood Cleansing Vine to remove left-over impurities in my body. Fortunately, he didn't ask about my cultivation experiences.

Then Mr. Jonathan said, "Taking this thing to improve your strength now. I will act as a protector. You can cultivate peacefully. No one will disturb you here. "

After saying that, Mr. Jonathan handed over the lightning pearl to Zack.

My expression became a bit solemn. I calmed my heart and raised my hand to grab the lightning pearl from him.

Just as my palm touched the pearl, it started to glow. A large amount of lightning essence sipped into my palm automatically.

I didn't even activate the celestial lightning scripture, but I can absorb the energy. I don't know what to say about this phenomenon.

Then, by shaking my head, I dispel the thoughts. I placed both my palms on the lightning pearl and brought it near to the dantian.

After closing my eyes, I slowly started to recite the celestial lightning scripture in my mind.

Next, the lightning rune in my mind started to flicker. Which means the scripture has started to run. At the same time, I can also begin to absorb the lightning essence from the pearl.

It is, as the name implies, the lightning essence rather than the lightning energy. It's more concentrated lightning energy. It almost equals the essence energy gatherer in my dantian.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the mysterious totem will do to this lightning essence.

On the other hand, Mr. Jonathan also focuses on the surroundings.

He is not worried about Zack. because the pearl is a gentle source of lightning energy. This won't be a problem for Zack to refine this gentle source of energy.

So he put his mind to the surroundings. Mr. Jonathan doesn't want any mishaps to happen at this time. He released his senses to scan the hotel. especially the nearby room. Soon,

Mr. Jonathan sensed the movements of apprentice warriors inside the hotel. There is no sign of a Special Trainee or Trainee Warrior.

As time progresses,

I begin to circulate the absorbed pure essence through the meridians. The circulation is extremely fast.

The energies in the dantian begin to settle down gradually. I slowly try to sense the action of the lightning totem.

At the same time, the lightning totem started to act. The pure lightning essence gathered at its feet underwent some changes.

It slowly begins to turn milky white. If one looks closely, they will find Milky white is just the outer layer of the purple essence. An extremely strong purple essence lies beneath it.

Then, from the next circulation, I felt shocking changes in my body. My foundation of lightning essence cultivation is strengthened further. I can feel the strength of the physique also rising further.

Yet, it's still the beginning. So I will continue to cultivate.

Time passes, and I finally reach the limit 20 minutes later.

This time I'm quite sure that I will get a breakthrough. Then I continue to run the lightning scripture.

"Creak"

The invisible layer broke into pieces. I broke through the shackles and successfully reached the level of mid-level special trainee.

But what is most surprising to me is that not even half of the lightning essence is consumed by the pearl.

On the other hand, a quick glint flashes in Mr. Jonathan's eyes. It was for a moment, but he noticed the changes in Zack's physique immediately. "Has he had a breakthrough?" Mr. Jonathan said in his heart.

Now he understands why he has been stressing about lightning resources lately. This little guy was on the verge of a breakthrough. But he needed that one last push to reach the next level.

The remaining energy in the pearl is more than enough to stabilise the base.

"Hmmm." Mr. Jonathan was surprised by seeing the left-over energy in the pearl.

Looking at the pearl, he felt this would be more than enough to support Zack's cultivation for a while.

Time progresses.

One hour later,

I opened my eyes after stabilising the base. I muttered to myself, "Mid-

Level Special Trainee." I'm glad that I reached mid-level special trainee in lightning essence cultivation within time.

Now that my physique and essence are at the same level, I wonder what the limit of my strength is? Can I fight against a mid-level trainee warrior?

Various questions run through my mind. Then I saw Mr. Jonathan was looking at me. So, I dispelled my thoughts and placed the pearl in my storage ring. Then she stood on the ground and looked at him.

"Looks like your strength has risen another level," Mr. Jonathan said with a smile.

I nodded. It's impossible to escape from his discerning eyes. He was so close to me.

Mr. Jonathan asked, "If you don't mind, can you tell me your level?"

He failed to probe Zack's strength. Instead of wondering about his strength, he decided to ask directly. This is also helpful for him while he is acting as Zack's guardian.

Hearing Mr. Jonathan's words, I thought it didn't matter to tell him. It's just the essence of a cultivation base. But no one knows about my physical cultivation.

Then I looked at him and answered, "Mid-level Special Trainee."
