Benefits of the Bloodlines

After a day of reading books, Arthur gained bulk load of new knowledge. He realised that since his cultivation speed was too slow, he could focus on other things as well.

Thus for this reason, he decided to take the path of alchemy and arrays as well. He even felt that both paths would be much easier for him due to his bloodlines and increased brain power.

For alchemy, he requires good memory in order to remember various herbs and treasures as well as their properties. Not just that, he must even remember the method to refine a particular pill as each has a unique method.

Also, he must form his own Spirit Flame through which the refining process will be much easier or else he must depend on external sources. This will reduce the efficiency of refining.

As for arrays, he must understand the complex patterns that forms an array. He also requires good control over his spiritual sense to create good quality array.

Some arrays are formed by connecting hundreds of small arrays. Thus he must remember the function of all smaller arrays, as they are the foundation of grand arrays.

In simple words, he has received a head start compared to others in terms of alchemy and arrays.

Arthur sighed out of tiredness and took a moment to arrange all the information and knowledge he gained. After a few minutes, he placed all the books at their original places.

After that he moved towards the next phase of the preparation. Learning techniques to hide his aura, cultivation and even life force as well as escaping and movement techniques.

These techniques would be useful in saving his life at critical moments. As for hiding techniques, they would be required to avoid unnecessary attention as well as trouble.

Thus, he roamed around the floor and found a few books that he required. Although Arthur could just pick up a good technique on higher floor, it wouldn't mean anything if he couldn't even comprehend it.

This was all due to his one star wisdom which he got for summoning Athena that he could use a way which was easier and efficient.

After spending another day in the library studying different techniques that he will need in the future. He was able to remember all the techniques that he read, but that doesn't mean that he has mastered all of them.

Right now what Arthur needed to do was to understand and practice them. Thus for the following day, he practiced and increased his mastery over these techniques.

Thanks to his one star wisdom, understanding the techniques was not a big problem.

On a open stage for martial practice, near the Nightfall Palace.

Arthur stood calmly in the centre. He took a deep breath and circulated his spiritual energy according to a technique that he learnt from the library.

Slowly his aura started to decrease and before long it completely disappeared. If someone were to stand near Arthur, they would surely mistake him as a mortal if not for his devilishly handsome face.

He then moved on to another technique. This time as he circulated his spiritual energy, not only was his aura gone even his cultivation disappeared.

Ome must remember that if you hid your aura, someone could easily identify where or not you are a cultivator by using their spiritual sense.

So hiding ones aura is only for the safety of others. But only by hiding your cultivation could you really trick another cultivators.

After being successful, Arthur changes to circulation of his spiritual energy once again. But this time a shocking thing took place.

Arthur's body started to fade in and out of existence. Slowly his body completely disappeared along with his life force. It was only after a dozen or so minutes that he reappeared.

"I could only maintain this invisibility for fifteen minutes at most. So I must use this card carefully."

Arthur nodded his head and analysed all the techniques. He even thought of the situations when he could use this techniques.

After being done with it, Arthur proceeded with movement and escaping techniques.

He tried many different techniques which he thought were suitable for him. On the stage, blurs and afterimages started to appear as he performed the techniques.

Finally he was satisfied with a few techniques and felt that they were enough for now.

"I guess I can finally head out tomorrow."

Saying so, Arthur returned back to the palace.
