Book 4: Chapter 33
I took another sip of Blue Lemonade and cultivated the burning hot liquid to replenish the Frenzy in my Dantian. It’d been ten days since Wing Pho had cooked up his first batch of the stuff and now I had a supply of two canteens worth to carry us across the planet and hopefully some left over to take home.
From the tunnel entrance, I glanced out onto the Bloodmoon drenched hellscape where Blue Rose, Wing Pho and Wu Liang were cultivating their spiritual fortitude by subjecting themselves to both the monstrous creatures driven mad by the moon as well as the influence of the Bloodmoon itself.
They had been progressing steadily each night, starting at midnight and going until they simply couldn’t push themselves anymore. When that happened, I would engage my [Sacred Soul Shield] technique at the edge of the tunnel to give them a source of refuge from the Dark Frenzy.
When they recovered enough, they would go back at it again, killing demons and fighting to stay alive. By the sixth night they were already lasting till dawn before needing a break. We revised the training after that, starting earlier each night to give them more and more exposure.
At dawn I would begin my own training, subjecting myself to the Cursed Star and then returning to my tunnel and using my [Sacred Soul Shield] technique to recover. I chugged Blue Lemonade like it was water most days, just to ensure I always had enough Frenzy to fuel myself through both fighting off the Star Born demons and maintaining my spiritual defense technique. If not for needing to use it, I would probably have three canteens of surplus by now.
But it took money to make money, as my dad used to say.
Which meant I couldn’t progress unless I was willing to spend some of my winnings.
I myself had made it to lasting a few hours past noon right now.
My goal was being able to last the entire day.
