While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

"Grandfather, where is Adam?" asked Stacey who had calmed down and returned to the room the NYPD head was previously resting in, with a cast on her wrist.

The old man was deep in thought, trying to figure out who it might be that poisoned him and also thinking about everything that Adam had told him.

"He is long gone" he answered, before returning to his deep contemplation.

"But, I didn't get to apologise to him" she mumbled.

"Don't worry, he couldn't care less about you or you trying to hit him. Just let the guards know that we will be moving soon and our first stop will be the main headquarters of the NYPD. Also, tell them to be on high alert" instructed the NYPD head.

Stacey couldn't decline as his assistant and granddaughter as she did exactly as he said.

Meanwhile, Adam had arrived at the Illusion Array that was around the forest and mountains that were around his master's dojo.

However, what was weird was that he sensed its presence for the first time and it made him think that there was something wrong with his master since his master would usually be in complete control of the array and would conceal its presence.

Without thinking about it, Adam bought a A Rank Mortal Recovery Pill from the store and transferred it over to his inventory in reality.

Withdrawing the pill, Adam placed it in his pocket, just in case his master needed it, then drove slowly through the trees and towards his master's dojo.

[Please be okay, I still haven't had the chance to repay you and help you, while you also haven't had the chance to truly accept me as your disciple] hoped Adam who didn't want to lose anybody else.

Parking his motorcycle outside the dojo, not afraid that it would be stolen, as no one should be able to get through the Illusion Array without his master's permission, and not caring much anyway, he dashed into the dojo.

His master lay in the same corner that he was usually in, but his face winced and he was clearly in some sort of pain as Adam rushed over to him.

"Are you okay master?" asked Adam as he placed his fingers on his pulse.

His master's pulse was faint and slower than it should be, but Adam couldn't see what was causing it and it was probably because his lifeforce and vitality were running out.

Adam already knew that his master was using some sort of forbidden technique to increase his lifespan, but he was hoping that he could still use it and didn't want his master to die so soon.

[Ava, would the pill help him in any way] asked Adam within his mind.

{It should give him some energy and vitality, helping him to stabilise, but at the rate that his body and cultivation is decaying, he doesn't have long} answered Ava.

Hearing that, Adam placed the pill in his master's mouth without hesitation and prayed for the best as he sat him up and waited for him to absorb the medicinal properties, vitality and energy that were present in the pill.

There were barely any impurities within the pill since it was an A Rank, high quality pill as his master was surprised by Adam suddenly feeding him the pill.

He had sensed Adam coming and allowed him through the Illusion Array, but he was in so much pain that he was barely managing to stay in control of the array and also didn't sense that Adam had a pill with him.

Adam tried to use his spiritual sense to monitor his master's body, just wanting to see whether the pill he provided him was useful, but it was blocked off by his master's own spiritual sense, which made Adam even more curious about what his master wasn't telling him.

After a few minutes, his master finally opened his eyes and seemed to have recovered slightly because of the pill, but it was clear that he was still weakened and had lost a lot of weight.

"Master, what is going on?" asked Adam who was worried about him.

He knew that his master was an incredible individual with a profound past, but sitting in a dojo alone for centuries was something that would make anybody become insane and his master still didn't tell him the truth about his past.

"First, give me those snacks in the bag and tell me where you have been all this time, then after that, I will answer your question," said his master who was drooling for the snacks that Adam had in the duffel bag.

Seeing that his master was still his usual self, Adam relaxed slightly, but it was clear to him that his master was just deflecting and putting up a front.

Adam handed over the duffel bag to his master, then carried over everything else that he had stored within his motorcycle.

While his master was hungrily scoffing down what Adam had given him, he sat beside him and begun telling him everything that had happened to him while he was gone.

Adam started from the beginning and began telling him everything that he hadn't told his master, excluding anything to do with the Dungeon System.

When he mentioned Elizabeth's family and past, his master's expression changed slightly, which Adam noticed and took note of and whenever Adam mentioned the large cultivation families of New York, it seemed to be a sore spot for his master.

"Listen, Master, I do not want to go against you and you instructed me to stay away from the large cultivation families, but their young family heads are my friends. One was somebody that I grew up with and regard as a brother, while the other is a friend of mine that I trust and support. I hope that you can understand and accept that" said Adam after he had finished talking about the incident at the Epstein Family Arena.

Pushing away all the wrappers and waste that was left after he had finished wolfing down everything that Adam had given him, his master had a reminiscent expression and didn't know what to say.
