64 Chapter 64: The Protagonist's Bad Luck..
Even if it was an upgradable skill Noah could see that at max the skill will only reach the level of a peak Earth rank skill and after getting the skill form the tome Noah did not even look towards such low level skill.
After looking for a while Noah found a perfect skill he had been looking for.
Noah sighed in relief and came out of his meditational state and got up. Seeing the curious look in Elysia's eyes Noah knew she wanted to know what kind of skill he decided to go with and told her everything about it.
Elysia did not have any change in expression hearing he held such a powerful skill. She was not a cultivator and she did not even care about cultivation in the slightest, all she wants is that this planet stays safe. " I will kill some beast to practice these skills. Can you stay here?" He asked while looking at Xin Yan who was still in the middle of her cultivation.
"No need to worry, I will stay here. Besides, your Seals are here too." Elysia replied and told him to go do his things.
Under Elysia's instructions Noah walked out of the cave in search of beasts to spar against.
Back at the periphery of the Forest a disheveled young man walked out, his eyes were cold and his clothes were haggard just like his appearance.
The elders guarding the entrance of the forest suddenly appeared in front of the boy, shocking him.
Seeing two old men in the elder's outfit in front of him, Yuan Ming hurriedly bowed to show respect.
"Disciple Yuan Ming greets the elders."
Although the elders were happy seeing such an understanding Disciple they did not have to dwell on these things.
"No need for the formalities, Discipline Yuan. It seems you have been in a serious fight. You don't mind me asking a few questions." Although his words seemed polite at first but his tone had a hint of heaviness behind it causing Yuan Ming to feel his scalp go numb.
He knew if he did not answer the elders properly he would suffer one way or another. He did not want to reveal that he had just been in a fight against a cultivator way stronger than him and survived..
Gulping his dissatisfaction, he nodded with a serious expression. Seeing this the elders were further pleased as one of them asked.
"Tell us Disciple, did you meet someone in the forest?" Yuan Ming his heart was gripped by a strong grip and a chill ran through his spine.
'Do they know about my fight against those fairies or they are talking about someone else. Calm down, calm down! let's ask first.'
"Can you elaborate, elder, who are you talking about?" He asked with a polite smile on his face but inwardly he was cursing his luck for not taking a different route to return to the sect.
Here he had barely survived against that spirit beast while he was on the verge of death. Fortunately he encountered a healing herb on the mountain which caused his injuries to stabilize or he would have definitely died today.
But he was also happy to face that spirit beast today because of that beast he was able to reach level seven of the qi gathering realm.
The elders did not find his words weird because they were not looking for someone he knew.
"We are talking about a pair of mother and son, the boy should be the same age as you. The sect leader has ordered us to find them so you should know the seriousness of this matter."
"The sect leader!!!?"
He was astonished as to why the sect leader would look for a pair of mother and son. He also noticed their subtle threat warning him not to hide any information which caused his mood to turn sour but he did not show it on his face.
"I am sorry elders but I have not seen any young man of my age in the forest, let alone a pair of mother and son." The elders looked at him deeply for a while before nodding in acceptance. Their eyes noticed that even under their pressure the boy kept a straight face.
"You can leave junior. You should tend to your injuries and not leave the sect before you advance to the next stage." One of the old men waved his hand dismissing Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming bowed before hurriedly walking away, he did not notice it before but his back was now drenched in sweat.
"I need more power." He mumbled while clenching his hands in a fist as he continued walking.
He had just come out after a breakthrough only to receive a slap in the face. It was as if the world was saying this is the truth of the world you are nothing but an ant.
The elders looked at his disappearing back and moved back to their hiding spot.
"Do you think he's hiding something?" One of the elders suddenly asked while the other shook his head in response.
"I don't think so from his expressions, let's wait for a month first. If that pair of wretched mother and son do not come, we will have no choice but to enter the forest ourselves."
After hiding back in their place the elders immersed themselves in their cultivation, a month was nothing for cultivators.
For cultivators time was nothing but a number yet, they had to suffer because this place was not as good as the sect in terms of qi.
Cultivating here for a month was equal to a day in the sect. Which was quite a loss for them but since this was an order from their sect master they could only obey. Back in the forest Noah did not know that the elders who were guarding the exit of the forest so that they could take him back to the sect were cursing him for making them suffer
He was currently looking for the beasts through his soul sense which he came to know about from the records of Elysia but he could not make it extend for more than a kilometer. Although it may sound a lot but for cultivators who stood at the peak of the lower realm this much was nothing. Noah also knew that this limited range was because of his depleted strength during reincarnation as well as how he did not even have much knowledge about souls in his previous life.
He was not worried much because he knew once he entered the first realm of the third phase, which was the nascent soul, everything would turn back to normal.
In the nascent soul realm the cultivators focus all of their attention on the cultivation of soul and their strengths would increase by leaps and bounds.
Noah continued to look around and his soul sense covered the huge area of the forbidden forest.
From what he knew the forest was around 10 - 20 km deep and there were some hidden dangers in the depth of the forest and currently they were on the middle layer of the forest. His eyes turned towards a certain direction as they gleamed with excitement.
