Alpha Reborn!

"This is just the beginning. It will become stronger once I finish chewing all 50 poisonbane herbs. The cost to evolve it into the Moderate Poison Resistance would also be reduced!"

Evan knew that while poisonbane herbs can make a good tea to free the body of toxins, its best use was to eat it raw.

A normal cultivator would be poisoned if they ate it raw, but Evan already had minor poison resistance, so even if he ate all the poisonbane herb he had overnight, he wouldn't be affected.

He was immune to the adverse effect of the herb!

Only that's why he was daring enough to take such a step to further develop his poison resistance!

He put one in his mouth and started chewing it. The bitter taste that escaped into his mouth was unbearable, but he fought against the urge to spit it out and continued chewing it.

It felt like he was eating sand.

Even an average person would be bothered if they tasted something so weird, and Evan was no exception. It was harder for him as he had grown up eating the best food there was.

However, remembering the benefits that it would bring him, he continued with his reckless action hotheadedly.

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ There was no backing down from his dictionary.

[The medicinal value of the Poisonbane herb has been consumed. Your minor poison resistance skill has improved slightly!] the system notified Evan.

If he continued consuming the bitter water of the poisonbane herbs, Evan knew that the Minor Poison resistance Skill would evolve into a special-type skill, which provided a stronger defense against poisons and toxins than the minor poison resistance skill.

A person with the special-type poison resistance skill would also experience fewer symptoms or side effects from being poisoned than a person with a minor poison resistance skill!

In order to get it, he didn't hesitate to put another poisonbane herb in his mouth.

After what felt like an eternity of eating sand, he digested all fifty of them.

[Because of digesting a large number of Poisonbane herbs right after digesting the NightShade Nectar, you have developed a special type of Minor Level Poison Resistance!]
[On top of being immune to 200 types of poison, you have gained the ability to refine low-level poisons!]

[The skill points needed to evolve the Special-Type Minor Poison Resistance have decreased by 2 points!]

He still needed several points to level it up! It was just that hard to gain Moderate Poison Resistance!

Evan's face lit up. "It's nothing too special, but hey, if I am poisoned now, at least I will be able to detoxify myself quickly."

He turned to the remaining items.

"The Celestial Connector pill will show its worth when I reach the peak of the Soul Manifestation Realm. After all, it has the effect of increasing a cultivator's chance of ascending to the Soul Fusion Realm by 30%."

"As for the Blade Master Skill Crystal, it can't be used unless I obtain a skill plate that can bear the burden of utilizing it."

He put both items into his inventory. The time to use them still hasn't come.

He turned to the last item.

It was the enigmatic black box.

Memories of his past life flooded his mind, reminding him of the secrets that lay within the box.

It contained the location of a hidden piece!

He knew all too well that it was only accessible to members of the Frost Clan, and he had to prove his identity to the box before he could unlock its secrets.

He steadied his hand and pierced his finger with his nail, drawing out a small amount of crimson blood. Immediately, he placed his finger over the box and let the blood droplets trickle down onto its surface.

The blood melted into the box, a symbol of its recognition of him as its rightful owner. He unlocked it with ease as he had become its monster.

Its content was revealed. Inside, he found a mysterious treasure map.

It showed that the hidden piece was located at the top of the Monster Tower of the Frost Clan.

It was on the tenth floor!

He could pour soul energy into the map to see where exactly it was on the tenth floor, but first, he needed to get inside the monster tower.

It wasn't an easy place to access.

He needed to have a valid reason to challenge it.

A scheming look appeared on Evan's face as he thought up a plan to enter it righteously.

"They will bite the bait like fishes if it seems like they can strip me of my position and make it available for the stepson of the head of the minor families. Yes! That plan might just work."

Evan laughed eerily in the dim warehouse as a mad plan formed in his mind.

He had meticulously planned every move, so he knew that his strength was the most crucial factor for the success of his plan.

If he was weak, his plan would not only fail but also backfire on him!

Thankfully, he had a way to increase his strength immediately!

Evan checked his experience points.

His heart pounded with excitement as the number 1160 EXP glowed brightly on his screen.


"With this much EXP, I can level up a good number of times!"

"Use all the experience points to increase my level!" he exclaimed to the system in his mind.

[Ding! 1100 EXP has been used to increase your level by four times!]

Evan felt his body tremble as more than a thousand EXP was absorbed into his being.

He could sense his cultivation increasing and his body changing, becoming more powerful with every passing moment.

[Congratulations on unlocking your fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh soul pockets and reaching the advanced level of the Soul Manifestation Realm! You have gained Four SPs!]

[Your Total Skill points have increased to 6 points]

[Your soul energy reserve has increased to 734 points!]

The system's voice echoed in his mind!
