Conversation With Grandfather
Chapter 6 Conversation With Grandfather
Dao Li was not shocked to see the situation. The things that happened ago had made him more stable. Dao Li was now more clear about it, that the all things which was happening to him nowadays was all somehow connected to "Rising Moon Empire".
"A Tier 5 beast. A Tier higher than Tier 4. Wasn't it a hypothesis? And what the "Blood Devil" was it that women I heard at the shabby shelter? And does she caused the small hill of skeletons there? What the heck was this "Rising Moon Shelter"? And the snake…"
Dao Li's eyes widened and he stop talking due to his sudden realisation. The pile of dead corps of beasts that was left behind by the guardian of the rising moon shelter — Enas. Although because of his low cultivation he can't escape from the snake-like creature, Enas. But if he consume the blood essence of the beasts he can atleast cross two or three tiers.
He rushed back to the place where Enas had left a huge pile of dead beasts. From a beast, reference of it's genes can only be taken once. A drop of blood was enough to take reference of genes. But for beasts they need to be dead or otherwise there would have been a blood donation camp for beasts and everything would be peaceful.
After half hour Dao Li arrived at the place where the corpses were. Dao Li let out a sigh in relief and sat down gasping for few minutes.
Dao Li took a corp from the pile of beasts' corps, and take a drop of blood.
One… Two… Three…
One by one Dao Li take a drop of blood on his index finger and sat on lotus position — refining the blood. As Dao Li was extracting the blood from the corps a series of notification was emerging one by one in front of him.
«Blood Refining Successful»
«Blood Of Crystal Fang Bat Had Refined»
«Your Genes Are Purified By 1%»
«Blood Refining Successful»
«Blood Of Dark Bladed Panther Had Refined»
«Your Genes Are Purified By 6%»
«Blood Refining Successful»
«Blood Of Blood Rat Had Refined»
«Your Genes Are Purified By 2%»
After doing this process countless times Dao Li stopped and opened his eyes. His eyes were shining. There were only some corps left. Dao Li instead of refining them there, pick them up. And went back to the place from where Enas had vanished.
When Enas vanished there was a white whirlpool which was indicating that it was a gate to the higher realm "Moonlight". Dao Li wanted to know if there he was right or not. Ago when he was there he was a newly Awakened being, he had received the "Eyes of Falseness" due to which he was in pain — helpless, unable to move or sense anything. The only thing he could do was listen to Enas's words and striking of lightning.
Soon, Dao Li reached the place and try to sense the energy of a higher realm. But alas, there was no trace of any energy. Perhaps the energy had mixed with the energy of Passec. As Dao Li didn't find anything he started looking here and there — in the bushes, trees and even in the ditch.
Ditch?
"Aaahhh!!"
Dao Li catched the branch and climb the cliff. Dao Li again went to the pool and rolled his eyes. His gaze freezed at the pool.
'That snake Enas, told me to take a bath in this pool. But is it safe?'
Thinking that Dao Li throw a dead rat-like creature in the pool, that was left behind from Enas's mouth. Soon, the wounds on it's body started healing and som times later they healed completely. But the rat was still dead. Dao Li took a stick and turned the rat with it. It's other side was healed too.
'This doesn't have any harmful effects on it's body. So, I can try it once.'
Dao Li tend to enter the pool and take off his clothes. But when he stepped in he saw his face's reflection. He could saw his eyes which was turned light blue as the same as the snake Enas.
'Is this the "Eyes of Flaseness" Enas mentioned. Does these gonna be like this forever?'
As Dao Li pondered his eyes again turned light brown. And then Dao Li think about "Eyes of Flaseness" they appeared again. Dao Li keep playing like this till he realized that he was naked. Dao Li sat on the pool as it's depth wasn't too, just around 50 to 70 cm.
Dao Li can feel something wet all over his body. It was like a liquid covering all over his body like a secondary skin. Dao Li take a look on his body but there was nothing. He closed his eyes again and started meditating. Soon, a notification appeared in front of him.
«A New Attribute Learned "Heavenly Healing"»
'Huh? A new attribute.'
"Status."
Dao Li opened his eyes as the voice echoes his mind telling him of a new attribute.

After reading the description of his skills and attributes for a while Dao Li turned off the status screen and started meditation in the pool.
The sound of waterfall, sound of water flowing through river, a notification appeared in front of him.
«Heavenly Ruine Technique's Fragment Has Activated»
"Ach!..."
Dao Li's neurons were in rush, tones of information entered his brain.
«…»
«…»
A electric current flashed on his forehead for a second and vanished.
"S-So… it's Heavenly Ruine Technique mentioned in my status window."
«Fragment Absorption Successful»
Dao Li's skin was redened, his hairs were blacken. The marks of several cuts and burns appeared. They seemed fresh, like it was not even a day they were on his body.
Dao Li was fainted but his injuries were healing with an ridiculous speed. Soon Dao Li's hair which was blacken from electric shock was goten back to normal. His skin was now more smooth and white.
Soon, Dao Li was in a good shape and he opened his eyes. His eyes was more clear and deep. They was like a endless ocean. As Dao Li get on his knees in the pool, scratching his head and eyes filled with confusion.
Dao Li stayed there for four hours, but nothing else happened, expect a change in his status screen which he was staring all the way to the new shelter he found near the swamp. It was just three to four miles away from the swamp.
"New Moon Shelter" Dao Li read the name of the shelter in a low voice.

'What's this Mortal Level?'
Dao Li with a think entered the shelter and went straight to the plaza. With a sound of dripping Dao Li the next moment was at his home — Dao Island.
…
Sometimes later in a unknown room Dao Li was sitting on a chair in front of a middle aged man.
"What do you want now, grandfather?" Dao Li looked at the middle aged man with no emotions in his eyes.
"You really don't have any mercy for this old man." Dao Zhang said with innocence in his eyes.
"Come to the point." Dao Li stared at Dao Zhang.
"You was away for three months and now you are talking to me like this," Dao Zhang stood up and revolved once around Dao Li and stand straight in front of him and added, "How's your base cultivation trial? There's soon a competitions among Ancient Six families and Vashu Royality."
"The 'Genius Meet-Up' at 'Generla Quran'?" Dao Li's voice was disgraceful.
"Ah, it didn't bother me how you know this but it's good for you to grow faster to participate in the meet-up." Dao Zhang's expressions and tone didn't changed a bit — cold and calm.
"Aren't there already someone else with my title on the top of genius list of humanity. Why not bother him?" Dao Li said with disdain.
"It was you from the start, Dao Li. Your first position in the list of 'Top 10 Geniuses Of Humanity' was yours from the birth as the son of Dao Ying." Dao Zhang sat back on the chair.
"So you mean I am the top ranker and young master of Dao family and still no one knows who I am. Why you don't tell anyone who I am and keep my identity secret? Even marking me as a low member." Dao Li said with a urge in his voice.
"It was for this moment my grandson. Dao Ying left behind a letter in which was written that your identity must be hidden till you show interest in Martial Arts." Dao Zhang paused for a moment and continued, "Take your place that was from your since birth and I will make your identity public. And most important… Dao Wu is also participating."
Dao Zhang turned and went towards door.
"I will tell Wang Lin to take your care afterward." Dao Zhang said while opening the door. He turned and take a look of Dao Li who shows no expressions at all.
'Next time I will be thousand times stronger. I am no more me. I have killed my old self. No, I am changed. I will be now the one I imagined to be.' Dao Li thinked inwardly.
