Soul Fusion Online

Chapter 15 - Cultivation



Smiling away, President Chen quickly put away the orb before putting on a serious expression. "You have really helped me out this time. Because of this, I would like to ask you to help me with something."

[Forced Quest]

[Unique Chain Quest Activated: The Untimely Hero]

[Part Completion: Enter the silver springs and bring back 10 Sweet Silver Grass.]

[Reward: Fifty Silver and the Flaming Silver Cauldron]

Yuki did not mind that it was a forced quest because of how high the reward was, but when Yuki looked at the reward, she was puzzled as to what the Flaming Silver Cauldron was. She pressed the highlighted text, which brought up a small window.

[Flaming Silver Cauldron]

[Mainly used for pill creation.]

[Boost pill creation success by 1%]

Yuki was even more confused when she saw the explanation. "Pills?" Yuki mumbled out loud.

"Hehe… Catch your interest? You may not know this since you are a mortal. But there are people called immortals in this world. They cultivate in order to reach the heavens. Although the reward is not the best, pill cauldrons are still very rare. Pills can help cultivators along their path of cultivation." President Chen explained.

"I see… But how does one cultivate?" This was one of the things Yuki had searched for beforehand. But no matter what she typed, there was no information at all.

"Now, that is the hard part. Although it is said that if you kill a bunch of monsters, you can grow stronger fast, but for cultivators, they can become even stronger. They take in what is called soul qi and reforger their bodies from the inside out. Although the process is slower, it is said that if the two systems are mixed, you will be able to become one of the most legendary figures across the land. But none of this is possible without a cultivation technique, and those are so rare that I have only heard of them and have never actually seen one. But I have seen a cultivator before. So I know they exist. And the pressure that man gave off..." President Chen\'s eyes seemed to be looking off into the distance. It was a look of yearning. Someone who wished he could have such strength.

Yuki, on the other hand, felt like she hit the gold mine of information. There was probably not a single person in game that knew of this information. Yuki wondered why the game company never announced this. She also wondered just how much of an effect cultivation would have on stats or what rewards were granted by cultivating. However, even though this information was gold. It was not something that would earn her money in the short term, nor was it certain anyone would believe her. "President Chen, I must thank you for your time. I must hurry along and use one of the potion rooms so I can begin my quest to learn how to make potions."

"Haha! Sorry, this old man just starts rambling as time goes on. Go go! Don\'t let me keep you." President Chen smiled brightly at Yuki, but then his expression changed as he thought of something. He hurriedly took out a pen and a slip of paper. "Here is how to make the most basic of health potions. They are not great and only sell for a few coppers, but this should at least put you on the right track."

With trembling hands, Yuki took the slip of paper and treated it as if it was the most treasured object in the entire world. Seeing this, President Chen smiled and nodded his head in approval. He felt this young man would one day make a name for himself with this kind of attitude. After putting the slip of paper away, Yuki bowed her head and said: "Thank you very much."

"Haha, it\'s nothing much. If you have any questions about anything, feel free to come find me. I wish you luck in your potion making endeavor." President Chen saw Yuki off with a smile. Once Yuki was gone, he quickly pulled out the orb, looked at it, and even kissed it before running off to his own room.

After leaving the meeting room, Yuki headed back downstairs. Only when she got out to the main hall again did she realize that the young man who said he was going to make tea for them never came back. Not thinking much of it, Yuki went to the door that led to the trade skill rooms and then to the window just through the door on her left. Sitting on the other side was a woman in her later years reading a book. When she saw Yuki standing there, she gave a smile and asked: "Which trade skill would you like to rent a room for?"

Yuki took out her pass and handed it to the woman as she said: "A potion room."

"Oh? Now, this is a rare sight. Okay, handsome, you can use the best of the medium grade potion making rooms. It will boost your success rate by 10%. Just go up the stairs on the second floor all the way to the back and press your pass against the door on the right. It will open for you. Good luck, dear." The woman said as she handed the pass back to Yuki.

"Thank you." Yuki gave her thanks and followed the directions she was told. When she entered the room, what she saw was a wooden table with a bunch of equipment on it. There was a mortar and pestle, a small clay pot, a holder for the clay pot that had a candle holder underneath to heat the clay pot, candles, flintstones, small, medium, and large glass containers, corks, and a place to get water. On another side of the room was a table with large knives and hammers. Yuki could only think these tools were for processing things other than plants. And in the middle against the far wall was a chest. This was what was called a material chest. It was something like an inventory but was not kept on your body. This was something that only those who rented a trade skill room could use. You could store all your materials in it, and even if you did not use the same trade skill room or went to another town to use their trade skill rooms, it would follow along with you, and you would not lose any of your items. It made it so that one would not need to always carry around their materials.

Yuki quickly went over to her chest and dumped all her materials inside. There were three tabs to start with and you could buy extra space, but just the first three starting tabs had one hundred slots each. Yuki split her items up into groups. Non-poisonous, poisonous, and animal. With that all settled, Yuki was now ready to begin her potion making.
