Chapter 8: True Life Origin Scripture
[Ding! Memory Scan Completed.]
Retrieving the information from system, Lucas's pupils froze.
[Purple Sheen Grass was robed in Rainlight region, suspected to be a mage similar to Fedrick.]
Lucas now seemed to remember that Uncle Merlin talking about the recent chef from Rainlight region.
'Is it all a coincidence?'
"What are you thinking about?"
Merlin once again patted Lucas's shoulder and called him out to follow him.
"No, I was just thinking that I don't seem to see any other elves or other races here in City of Datura."
Lucas quickly diverted the topic.
"Oh, you can see elves in some of the high-end places. And about beast-folk, many live among us, it's just that you didn't recognize any of them."
"Among us?" Lucas frowned.
Merlin gave a casual node. "Beast-folk have some characteristics of animals especially Feline types. If you observed carefully their hands, feet, eyes, ears or hair it is possible to identify them."
"So are you saying that at first sight there aren't any major differences between human and beast-folk." Lucas asked with suspicion.
"They are that similar?"
"If you count some of them having tail, then some of them will be said to have a major difference."
Merlin laughingly said.
"There aren't much different races here. Even though the city is prosperous. It is still the City of Arsln Family. So most people come here either for trading which are done by merchants passing through our territory or people seeking the help from Arsln Family. As you know we Arslns are a family that mainly trade in alchemy potion and herbs."
Soon they neared the Evenrise building.
"Uncle if there is nothing else, shall I go?"
Lucas wanted to talk more with Merlin, but before the memory fusion take place, it would be better to keep a safe distance. There is no harm in being too cautious.
Merlin stopped and faced Lucas.
Lucas didn't know what wrong with what he said, seeing Merlin's facial expression he knew he was in trouble. So he was incredibly nervous.
"So have you decided?"
"Decided what?" Now it was Lucas's turn to be confused.
At the next instant Lucas asked, an indescribable pressure assaulted him. He understood, his uncle was angry, but why, he thought furiously suddenly something clicked.
"University?" Lucas weakly asked.
Pressure Lucas facing drastically reduced.
"So have you decided?"
"Uh.." Lucas didn't know what to say. He can't say he completely forgot about, can he?.
Merlin sighed and rubbed his temple to try to reduce his headache.
"Lucas your choice is important, depending upon what you choose, it will completely change your life."
After taking a deep breath Merlin continued.
"Our Arsln Family have the bloodline of Great World Dominion Datura. We are naturally good at handling poison and plants, so many renowned Alchemists have come from our family."
Merlin looked at Lucas, and seeing him listening intently he continued.
"If you decided to become a Alchemist, we can help you walk the path effortlessly with our talent. But the family will not attach too much importance to you. Because we are not lacking in Alchemists, if you reached Grand Master Level then it's a whole another matter but sadly even if you have talent for Alchemy, you have to spend huge amount of time focusing on it."
"If you walk the path of a Rune Master, we can help you find great teachers and your position in the clan will rise as long as you reach Master level or you can craft Gold Grade items."
Putting a hand on his shoulder Merlin said with a reassuring voice. "There are other paths, you can choose your own future and no one from the family will dare to put any form of pressure on you, whatever you choose both me and your grandfather will be behind you."
Lucas felt warm in his heart. In his previous life his parents and all his relatives that cared for him left him early. He couldn't choose any thing, at that time all he could do was run and survive, somehow survive.
"I need your answer today."
Merlin walked to his office after voicing his intentions.
"Uncle Merlin when did Uncle Ivan buy this herb?" Lucas called out.
"Last week."
'System, set 'Purple Sheen Grass' and 'Lunar Shell Crystal' as passive search, if ever encountered anything related to these two items immediately report to me.'
[Ding! Affirmative]
--------------------
Lucas walked into his room.
After changing his clothes Lucas lied on his bed.
"It was a tiring day. I should play some games…I wonder how huge a difference will be.."
Lucas paused and thought deeply.
After some time,
'Isn't system similar to computer with all the scanning, analyzing and their processing structure. Is it possible to introduce game elements?'
Lucas decided to try his assumptions.
'System, Show Status.'
[Ding! System Function Scan has been used.]
Name: Lucas Arsln
Strength:0.6
Constitution:1.3
Flexibility:0.6
Mana:4.5
[Average adult -1]
Cultivation: Accumulation Stage Peak
Bloodline: World Dominion Datura - High Level
"So it is possible. There may be more functions, but I need to explore all myself. But one thing for sure, its all revolve around the three core functions."
"System why is it only my constitution is high."
[Ding! High Quality of Bloodline.]
"But why don't I feel that my constitution is that high." While working out he knew that his body was very weak in a fundamental level.
[Ding! Due to the passive effect of Assimilation the quality of body is improved, essence obtained by the herbs and pills are fused with marrow and bones. When inflicted injury, difference can be viewed, for detailed observation, tempering and training the body is recommended.]
"Hmm, Bloodline…Datura is a plant, from where did blood came from a plant? Can I ask someone? They won't be mad at me, will they?"
"Did I misinterpret the word Constitution? It won't be so simple as that, would it."
"Ting! New Message received."
Lucas shifted his attention to SmartWatch. A message from Cale.
'It's one of Uncle Merlin's men. Is it about the technique for body tempering?'
Opening the message, there were 2 files.
Body Techniques.
Higher Education.
Opening the first file, rows of names appeared in the holographic screen, at least about 90 techniques were available. At the end of the file there was a message for Lucas.
"After selecting, send me."
Lucas scrolled over the techniques, they were many choices.
Coiling Martial Body Refinement- Gives the body high tensile strength, strong in close combat.
Golden Body Technique- Top body protection art, flexibility medium, constitution greatly rises. Derived from ancient cultivators, inferior art compared to Immeasurable Golden Body…

…

Overlord Body Technique
It took about 2 hr to completely read the list and study its pros and cons, even with the help of system it was a arduous task.
Lucas considered each technique and its pros and cons.
Finally his gaze landed on True Life Origin Scripture.
True Life Origin Scripture- A top body tempering technique for increasing natural abilities innate to the body and condense life essence. if practised to peak there is a low chance to awaken one of the Exceed level 5 senses.
Heavenly Eye, Thousand-mile Tunes, Supreme Perception….
He felt that with system he can acquire one of those senses. There is also a high chance to acquire all of those abilities listed.
Once again after conforming his decision, Lucas sent Cale a message.
Fifteen minutes later a maid came to his room with a box.
Lucas with a smile received the box.
Opening the box, a small book and a letter was placed in it. In the letter there was instructions about how to practise and what should be noted during cultivation.
Lucas didn't immediately start his cultivation. He first calmed his beating heart and started flipping the pages.
'System I want to learn this.'
Lucas was now genuinely curious, he wasn't cognizant to how awesome his system is truly.
[Ding! Scanning]
[Ding! Analyzing]
[Ding! Analyzing Complete]
At the next instant, a flow of information emerged in his mind. Instantly Lucas felt as he have practised this cultivation method for decades and some of the parts have been revised to better suit his body.
His eyes were filled with amazement, without pausing Lucas started to cultivate 'The True Life Origin Scripture'. Slowly his body improved and transformed, a healthy glow started to emit from his body.
After 2 hrs Lucas woke up from his cultivation, he felt like power welled up in his body. Quickly calming his excitement Lucas closed his eyes and started to feel the changes in his body.
After some moments, Lucas had a thoughtful look.
'System Scan the body and Foundation Mediation methods in memory and build a suitable meditation method for me.'
