The Undying Immortal System

Once I was a good distance away from the site of the battle, I hid in the woods as well as I could manage. I needed a moment to catch my breath and figure out what to do next.

Wen’s talk about gu had me worried. I had zero understanding of what such insects might be capable of, and if inadvertently ingesting such things could cause severe soul damage, I would have to be far more careful in the future.

I reached into my storage space and pulled out all of the pills that he had given me. Looking at the last one, I noticed that it was slightly different, but without knowing more about what I was looking at, there was no way I would be able to understand it as anything but a Low-Purity pill. Using energy vision, all I could see was a tight bundle of what looked like wind-based toxins bound up in its core. If I saw this without knowing what it was, I would be suspicious, but there was nothing that suggested it was an insect egg.

Learning how a normal alchemist might identify pills that had been tampered with in such a way would be a valuable skill, but this was too urgent of a problem to push off until a later date.

“System, how much to raise my pill analysis ability high enough to analyze these pills?”

Cost 50 million credits.

I debated whether that price was worth it. The appraisal ability I bought in the past only gave a pill’s name and efficacy. It didn’t list its effects. It might be better to try and find a cheaper, more direct way to handle this situation. Still, the cost was well within my means, and I didn’t have any better ideas that were both effective and affordable, so I decided to go ahead and buy it.

Purchase confirmed. Cost 50 million credits. 659,799,004 credits remaining.

I returned my focus to the pills and analyzed them.
