A frog?!

Walking in the forest known as the Chimera's den, there is a white-haired boy seemingly very relaxed and carefree despite he's in a place where many have lost their life.

"I wonder how big this place is? I've been walking for hours but don't seem to have moved out in the slightest" Ky is wondering about the size of the forest that mate is too big for him to leave walking unless he wants to spend days there.

-2 days later-

Ky has been walking all this time and didn't stop since he doesn't need to sleep, eat, and so on. Not having the basic needs of a human he's free to travel for as long as he feels like, also avoiding the danger of getting killed or robbed while he sleeps, but even after walking for two days non-stop he didn't feel like he's getting out of the forest.

"Does this place never end?" Ky started his complaints once more.

-one week since Ky started trying to leave the forest-

Ky walked in the same forest where the environment doesn't seem to change much, during these days he noticed that his 5-senses have greatly improved and asked the system about it, he discovered that's due to his racial skills, those are skills that are unique to each race and he couldn't see them because it wasn't added to his status information yet.

So he remembered he hasn't asked the system about its other functions besides status and the answer he got was.

[Host is too weak to know]

Ky didn't even lose his time thinking about it, no matter how much he complains, how can he regulate the fact he's not even level 1?! He believes once he starts cultivating other functions will become available.

(I can't just cultivate randomly anywhere! What if I get attacked by a beast or attract a dangerous cultivator? Those are situations I would like to avoid. Besides, being a rogue cultivator with my current power and knowledge isn't the best plan, so entering some weak sect will be the best, not only will I be able to act low-key but I'll also get some info since they'll believe I'm just a mortal with lack of education)

(Even though I don't want people to look at me that way, it will definitely cut the trouble of having to make stupid excuses. So, after I find the nearest village or city, I'll just ask for directions and take care of whatever happens when I get to the sect)

(This forest has a complicated layout, I wonder if I've been walking in circles everything seems to similar... This is a little unusual, maybe this is one of those places that messes with your sense of direction, well, I can find out by trying. Let's go on and find a way out! Also, curse this system for sending me into the middle of some random forest instead of a city or even some random village would be better than this!)

While Ky walked he also organized his plans for the future after he got out of the forest and complained a bit.

Ky walked for another couple of hours and finally decided to stop.

"Ok, I'm not walking anymore without being sure of it. System does this forest hinder my sense of direction or create some kind of illusion?" Ky asked since he didn't want to end up discovering he wasted his time later on.

[No, host is not under the effects of any illusion or perception hindering, if that was the case the system would have warned the host long ago]

"So, that means this forest is just huge... I would rather be under an illusion. This place is pretty much laid out for people to get lost. Since I have nothing better to do, I'll take my time to explore this place while I try to find a way out" Ky decided while complaining about the forest.

After deciding to do so, he looked at the forest around him with interest instead of just caution, the trees are very tall and have beautiful leaves, some with unusual colors such as blue, gray and even golden leaves could be seen. Ky looked at them with amazement and started collecting a bunch of every new plant and mineral he found, the found pretty interesting things such as electro leaves, explosive stones, glass herbs, grass stones and so on.

Then he decided to appraise the materials.

{electro leaf}:

Grade:1st(very low)

Rarity:common

Purity:5th purification

Description: It's a three-way leaf with a zigzag pattern that grows in a tree with an electric field around it. This leaf is used as material for anti-paralysis pills, their effect is very weak so a stack of at least 50, most are used for apprentices like the host to refine one pill of 1st low-grade.

Effect: paralysis that lasts for 3 seconds.(It does not work in anyone with higher cultivation realm then Qi refining)

Number owned:27

{explosive stones}:

Grade:2nd(low)

Rarity:common

Purity: 4th purification

Description:It's a small stone that resembles a pill because of its spherical shape and is usually found near swamps. This stone is used to create fireworks for big celebrations. At least 1000 are needed to make a stack of 15 fireworks.

Effect: creates a small explosion.

Number owned:16

{glass herbs}:

Grade:2nd(low)

Rarity:rare

Purity:4th purification

Description: it's a herb entirely made of glass which makes it hard to collect since it breaks down, only specific methods work to collect it and specialist is needed, It's used to make Qi reinforcement pills. 2 is enough to make one pill of 3rd intermediate-grade. It's actually highly wanted by high-rank cultivators.

Effect: It stabilizes one's Qi very slightly and improves control by 0.0001%.

Number owned:7

{grass stones}:

Grade:1st(very low)

Rarity:Uncommon

Purity:5th purification

Description: it's a ball of grass as hard as a rock, it's generally used to make 'grass eater traps'.

Effects: explodes and covers targets body part hit with hard grass.

Number owned:21

"Wow! These are some really interesting materials. They are all 1st and 2nd grade, I wonder what kind of effect a 3rd-grade material will have?" Ky said excited by the various and intriguing material that have nice effects and even nicer uses.

Every newly found material seemed weirder than the previous one, all of these things he found varied from 1st-grade to 2nd-grade materials none of them being special but they can make for a good price in big quantities.

Ky wandered as he collected material and looked around the place.

(This is so weird, I have been walking for days and I haven't seen a single beast or animal. It's impossible for a forest to have none, especially a forest this big.... Something is definitely off, I'll just get out of here as soon as possible)

Ky once again continue walking for half an hour and he found something interesting while he was collecting materials.

{Shiny fairy bulb}:

Grade:3rd(Intermediate)

Rarity:rare

Purity: 3rd purification

Description: It's a shiny sphere, it's a material used in the production of Qi lamps, it's also viewed as a precious escape item and thus high requested especially by bandits. Assassins and thieves dislike it because it attracts too much attention but some still use it.

Effect:when smashed it emits a very strong light for 5 seconds.

Number owned:3

"Did I just hit the jackpot? This item is very useful, I'm sure it's price but I don't plan to sell them all. I'll sell only one if I see it's worth it. I imagine why thieves and assassins dislike it, that much light probably attracts all guards and they end up being caught, light and stealth were never good friends after all." Ky said and immediately keep them in his inventory.

"I should stop and relax for a bit" Ky sat down and laid on a tree then closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and while doing so he noticed that he's not limited to his eyes.

"I'm too much of a cheat... I'm only at 10% of what my race's full capacity is! I can't imagine how many abilities my race has but it's already pretty impressive to be able to see with your eyes closed, well this isn't the same as having my eyes opened it's actually probably much better since it reminds me of the skill that made many masters cry in order to obtain and most couldn't, the third eye mostly known as . This skills from what I know from the novels I read that mention it allows you to perfectly perceive everything in its range at a level you could never reach without it, according to what I know the range depends on the lv in which the skill is and I can currently see everything in a range of 300m radius perfectly.

[ skills has been leveled up to level 5]

"What? How? Am I using and not ?!" The system's notification surprised Ky.

[No, Host is indeed using which is one of host's racial skills. The reason skill leveled up is because host already surpassed its limit as a level 1 skill so it leveled up to catch up with the host's current capacities]

"So, basically if I do something beyond what my skills can do they level up?" Ky asked to make sure he understood it.

[Host is correct, that's one of the ways, but the host could always use the skill multiple times until it levels up naturally]

"So, this isn't considered natural?" Ky asked out of curiosity.

[Most of Host's deeds will most certainly be considered abnormal]

"I'll take that as a compliment. Now let's see what can do." Ky maintained his eye closed and got up then began looking around without moving at all, he could easily perceive all his surroundings.

"This is truly amazing, it's definitely the best skill if I ever need to show off." Ky told himself while checked out the skill.

While Ky is testing his new skill he heard a sound.

"Torrga!"

Hearing this weird sound he easily found the source and instinctively moved there running for the first time since he got his new body and he got a pleasant surprise, be could already run much faster than this with his past body but this new body is not even a level 1 yet and it already made it easy for him to run meters, in some minutes he was already in his destination.

Hiding behind the bushes using his skill to help him. He looked to see that the creature that made the sound is.

A frog!

More specifically known as the torrga frog, it has a great sensory sensibility towards Qi, so cultivators have a very hard time catching one while the powerful cultivators don't have any interest in them so not many people ever caught or killed one.

Seeing that it's a frog Ky left the bushes and looked at the frog with his eyes closed.

"It's just some useless frog" Ky said while looking down on the frog.

The frog heard Ky's comment and looked at him angrily, it usually ignored mortal since they can't harm him but this one dared to insult him!

Ky used his appraisal type skill on the frog just to make sure it's nothing important.

{Torrga Frog}

Name:none

age:7 years old

Gender:Male

Rarity:Utra rare

beast Rank:1st rank(very low)

Beast's growth potential: 5

Description: a small red frog with an x symbol on it's back. It's one of the core materials for a bloodline intensifying pill, it can be substituted but the substitutes are high ranked beasts so it's a hard pill to find and highly wanted by almost everyone. Just one frog is enough to make many of this pill in the hands of a high ranked alchemist.

"... How on earth does a frog have half the max potential a beast can have?!" Ky read the part about the frog being an ultra-rare material but the part that stunned him is the fact that in the ranking of the potential of beasts that goes weakest to strongest from 1 to 10 and a frog reached the middle of it.
