Grim used the Qi absorption technique.

"So it's called 'moonlight storm'. It has a similar absorption rate as the 'reap'."

"This is not useful for me. I wonder if I can fuse it with 'reap'?" He thought about giving it a try.

"System, can you fuse 'reap' and 'moonlight storm'?"

"Yes, it is possible. But, it will cost 10000 Evo."

"You are the best system. Do it." He was happy to hear it. Now, he could cultivate even faster. So, 10000 Evo was nothing.

"The technique 'moonlight storm' has advanced to the major level."

"Yes. Now, the cultivation problem is solved."

"The next objective should be gathering Evo and Liquid Qi."

He woke up the next day and went to the guard.

"Senior, do you know how I can get hands-on more Liquid Qi?"

"You should collect points and then exchange them for Liquid Qi or other cultivation resources. You can earn points by accepting missions in the mission hall." The guard replied.

"Thank you, senior." Grim bowed and went to the mission hall.

Grim arrived in the mission hall and started looking through the mission.

There were different types of missions like picking herbs, mining ore, hunting beasts, escorting people, hunting bandits, and many more.

There were missions for every power level from the 1st level of the mutation realm to the peak of the archon realm.

He picked a hunting mission and passed the scroll to the receptionist.

"Wild boar hunting. Are you sure you want to accept this mission? They are quite dangerous for new disciples."

"Yes, I'm sure." He nodded.

"Alright. Just be careful. And 15 days is the time limit for this mission." She handed the mission scroll back to the Grim.

Grim headed back.

"I have already used the liquid Qi, and it saved me a month of cultivation. I should make a breakthrough before I head out for the mission."

With the help of the 'moonlight storm', he was able to gather the Qi quickly.

He was able to reach level 2 of the mutation realm in a week.

He went to the forest for the hunt.

Grim hunted whatever tried to attack him. Then, he would cook the beast and eat whatever was edible and sell the rest to the system.

He would also meet fellow disciples on the way. He would exchange greetings with them, and depart after that.

By the time had arrived at the target's location, he had managed to collect 400 Evo.

It may not sound much. But, he was only at the second level of the mutation realm, and he could not go on a slaughter like his second reincarnation.

Grim spotted a herd of wild boars grazing on grass.

Grim used 'distort' to make himself invisible and sneaked his way toward the wild boars slowly.

"Storm"

He was able to electrocute most of them to death. He used 'thew' to strengthen himself and finish the remaining wild boars.

Grim was able to kill a herd of ten wild boars. He only needed '10 tusks of the wild boars' for the mission. So, he either ate the carcass or sold it to the system.

He was able to earn 350 Evo from the hunt.

Grim gathered the tusks and headed back.

The receptionist was a little surprised when Grim came back with tusks. She knew one had to be at the mid-level of the mutation realm to kill the wild boars.

"Please hand me your token. I will transfer your points in the token."

Grim handed the token to the receptionist.

"Five points have been transferred in the token. Here." She handed the token back.

Grim bid his farewell and headed back.
