I CAN GIVE TALENTS

An hour later, Leyvi woke up from his stupor. The floor that he was on was in a mess. It was filled with sweat, blood, fallen skin, and a lot of dark substances. It was gross, to say the least.

Suddenly a voice came to his mind, "Um, Boss? Are you alright now?" It was Stripey's voice. He sounded concerned.

Stripey has been panicking in the house for an hour since Leyvi fainted. His body kept twitching throughout the hour and some weird stuff was being expelled from his body.

Leyvi didn't answer Stripey. He was observing the change in his body. After he woke up, his body felt great. He never felt as great as now.

Leyvi immediately sits in a meditative position with his legs crossed and his hands resting on his knees. After a while, he opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face. His qi refining speed has increased a lot. It was about 30 times faster than previously!

Although it didn't manage to create an absorption vortex like his panda wife, it was still considered very good. He wondered if he had awakened a special physique or if his spirit root upgraded.

After all, it was not impossible. There were plenty of legends in the cultivation world where people stumbled upon a fortuitous encounter and changed their lives. Some gained special physiques, some upgraded their spirit roots, and some obtained immortal treasures.

Leyvi decided to purchase an aptitude-testing artifact later to measure his body's new aptitude. Even if it is a bit expensive, it is necessary. He can also use it to test other people's aptitude later.

Leyvi quickly stood up and replied to Stripey, somewhat late.

"Stripey, I'm feeling good! Hahaha! Never have I felt this good! Which means that I'm all right. See this?" Leyvi stripped and started laughing out loud while flexing his muscles. Leyvi has quite a toned body.

Stripey who saw this was relieved. Yes, this is the stupid human that I remember. Looks like he's fine.

"Eww, gross!" Leyvi saw the mess on the floor.

He went to clean the mess and took a shower afterward. When he was about to sit again, something unexpected happened.

All of a sudden, there was an earthquake. It was so sudden that Leyvi immediately fell to the floor. A bunch of things in the house fall too. A moment later it stopped.

"What happened? Did someone attack the house?" Leyvi who was still on the ground asked in confusion. No if someone attacked the house, it wouldn't be like this. The formation would absorb all the impact until it was broken.

This felt more like the whole mountain was subjected to an impact. Leyvi felt terrified. What kind of power can shake the entire mountain?

A Core Formation realm cultivators can't do it. A Nascent Soul realm cultivator? Are we being attacked by a Nascent Soul realm cultivator? Did a meteor fall?

At this time Stripey was already beside Leyvi, holding him. He was quite scared too.

Leyvi went out of the house after a while, followed by the small monkey. There was no more impact after that. It only happened that one time.

While looking outside, Leyvi saw the sect barrier getting fortified. The Mountain Dew Sect's emergency Great Barrier array formation has been activated. This has not happened for a very long time.

Levy heard that the last time the Great Barrier was activated was more than 300 years ago when the sea demonic beast horde invaded the land south of The Mountain Dew Sect. Countless people died at that time.

The Great Barrier array formation was activated when the horde reached the sect. The Mountain Dew Sect had to request help from the Mystical Array Valley and the South Armament Sect. Only then were they able to exterminate the entire sea demonic beast.

While recalling what happened in the past, Leyvi heard a loud voice, most likely the entire sect could listen to this voice.

"I am the sect leader of the Mountain Dew Sect, Gunung. Everybody should have felt the impact just now. I have activated the Great Barrier array formation of the sect. Nobody is allowed to go out of the sect until further notice. I am going to investigate what was happening with a few other elders. Be prepared for battle any time, that's all!"

"Follow me," Leyvi told the small monkey. He was going to Anda's house. Something big happened, there was no way he would leave his wife alone. Leyvi sprinted, followed by Stripey closely behind.

Anda was already outside when he arrived near her house, most likely waiting for him.

"Leyvi! I thought you were still in the forest looking for spirit herbs. Thanks heaven you are already back." Anda immediately hugged his arm.

"Why is there a monkey?" She noticed the small monkey behind Leyvi.

"Hahaha, this is the small monkey I told you about before. He is my spirit beast now. Call me beast tamer Leyvi!" Leyvi was acting prideful.

"Hmph, it's just a monkey. Panda is better." Anda pouted.

Leyvi was dumbfounded. Why was she competing with a monkey? Is she defending her panda ancestry?

"Anyway, let's go inside. Stripey, you play outside." Leyvi instructed the small monkey. He needs some private moments later, it's not a thing a monkey should watch.

Stripey was not disappointed at all, on the other hand, he was actually eager to play outside. He immediately ran to the trees nearby and started climbing.

Inside the house, Leyvi told Anda about what happened in the Triad forest. Anda was quite excited while listening to him. Internal storage room? That was countless times better than any space bag. She was happy for Leyvi. At least the talent bead was not entirely unfair to him.

After getting familiar with The Heavenly Fragrant Harmony Body in the last few days, she knew exactly, no, she still could not comprehend how heaven-defying this physique was, or how far it could go.

She can now completely control the fragrance coming out of her body. She had a suspicion that the Heavenly Fragrant Harmony Body was highly compatible with the illusion and charm technique.

After the storytelling, Leyvi took out a bright pink-colored peach and gave it to Anda. He also told her about the effect of the peach he experienced before.

"Usually, a magical fruit like this, especially the one that increases the aptitude of a cultivator can only be eaten once. Eating more would be a waste." Anda explained. As an alchemist, she knew a bit more about this than Leyvi.

"Then you should eat one. I still have a lot more." Leyvi suggested.

Anda agreed. She ate the peach slowly while Leyvi was attentively observing her. When she was done, nothing seemed to happen. Leyvi and Anda stared at each other.

Leyvi was confused. There was so much mess when he ate it. On the other hand, nothing happens when his wife eats it. He waited for a few more minutes. Still, nothing happened.

"I think I know why there was no effect." Anda interrupted his thought.

"Why? Is this fruit sexist?" Leyvi joked.

"Pfft, stop joking!" Anda almost laughed.

"Did you forget? You gave me those talents. The Alchemy Vision and the Heavenly Fragrant Harmony Body must have given me way better aptitude than this peach could. That's probably why it didn't work." Anda gave her reasoning.

Something immediately clicked in Leyvi's mind. He was starting to put the dots together. That totally makes sense! After he ate it, his qi refining speed went up by 30 times while Anda casually showed him qi refining speed of at least 100 times faster. It even created a vortex.

Wait a minute! Something else came to his mind. He recalled that Stripey ate the peach for the first time in the forest. At that time, nothing happened to him too. Don't tell me his aptitude is higher too. This must be the work of the talent bead. No wonder Stripey can become a demonic beast so fast.

Leyvi realized that he was still underestimating the talent bead. He needs to set higher expectations when he gives the talents next time.

"Anda my wife...I'm depressed...please cheer me up." Leyvi pretended to be sad to get sympathy from Anda.

"There, there...Anda will let husband experience what the Heavenly Fragrant Harmony Body can do!" Anda gently patted Leyvi's back while she led him to bed.

Soon, erotic fragrances spread to the entire house.

...

Half a day later. It was almost sunset.

The sect leader of the Mountain Dew Sect, Gunung accompanied by three high-ranked elders of the sect were flying toward the Mystical Array Valley. Near the Mystical Array Valley, they met with the sect leader of the South Armament Sect and their elders.

After exchanging quick greetings with each other, they continued flying toward Mystical Array Valley.

Soon, they reached the valley resided by the Mystical Array Valley.

However, what entered their sight was not the usual valley they were familiar with.

Instead, It was a new valley formed by a single sword slash! Everything was destroyed. No life can be found nearby.

The Mystical Array Valley was no more.
