《Beast Cultivating System》Chapter 26 - Desperate Old Man Zhao and Rank 3 Life Extending Pill
Advertisement
Dana quickly arrived at Old Man Zhao's cultivation chamber rushing past the students, whilst running past Dana thought she heard many students shout "Isn't that the infamous she-devil?", but being dense as always Dana didn't notice they were referring to her.
The strange thing which puzzled Dana is usually many students or lecturers await outside the Headmasters chambers, hoping to receive guidance and pointers from the wise Headmaster of the Academy, however, it seems it is completely deserted and there doesn't seem to be any signs of life anywhere within 500 km of Old Man Zhao.
This is weird... Normally old man Zhao is a very busy man, which actually assists students now and then because of his kind temperament whereas currently, it seems everybody wants to get as far away from Old Man Zhao as possible! Mmm. It must be due to Old Man Zhao kicking them out as a result of him being so worried about his beloved disciple, that's it assumed Dana.
As Dana storms in, she heard the voice of Old Man Zhao.
"Is that a student? Have you come to receive guidance from this Old Man? Please, tell me someone has finally come..." Hmm. Old Man Zhao? Why does he sound completely desperate for a student to come here? And the last part which he mumbled, I only managed to hear as a result of my high cultivation and enhanced senses as a result of being a spirit beast, why does he sound like he hasn't had human contact since I left three weeks ago?
He normally says that too many students crowd around him for seeking his assistance, and he enjoys helping them but never manages to get to handling all, though now he sounds completely depraved that he believes it is a fragment of his imagination that a student actually came to him willingly. What on earth could have happened in just one month?
"Hey, Old Man Zhao it's your favourite disciple back, have you missed me? And why do you look so haggard you look like some homeless Old Man on the streets, not the original dignified master I knew!" Resounded Dana, attempting to give the Old Man some encouragement in having some serious changes towards his recent lifestyle choices.
However, this does the opposite of what Dana hoped for, instead, she saw Old Man Zhao eyes becoming even more bloodshot.
"You... Do you know the trouble you caused this past month? Ever since that rumour which was spread involving you, I have been avoided like the plague! This Old Man hasn't had human contact in a month! And this isn't just in the Academy, it is in the entire Capital!" Old Man Zhao spoke continuously ranting about his unfair treatment and resentment of his new nickname "Perverted Old Man Zhao" which instead of the expected pity from his disciple all he received was Dana's loud laughter reverberating in the room.

"It is fine Old Man, it's just a silly rumour." Snorted Dana is trying to regain some semblance of talking with a serious manner, but graciously failing as a smile of amusement emerges on Dana's face.
"Oh, you find that funny, do you? Well, this Old Man isn't the only one which has a rumour spreading around about them..." Old Man Zhao snickered removing the smug expression on her face.
"Old Man, tell me? It can't be possibly worse than "Perverted Old Man Zhao" surely!" Questioned Dana. However, she soon found it was just as bad with Old Man Zhao informs her of being known as "She-Devil Dana" the dominator of men, known for kidnapping pretty boys alike, such as her most famous boy toy "Pretty Boy Kaiden", after hearing the continuous rumours about her "exploits" the colder and colder of an expression emerged on Dana's face. So, that's why Kaiden was avoiding me, it looks like she is going to teach him a "lesson" tomorrow...
As Dana's eyes become unfocused on the conversation between Old Man Zhao, witnessing her expression for himself the more and more terrified Old Man Zhao got for the poor individual which crossed his disciple. Hmm. It seems "She-Devil" may not be an over exaggeration of a nickname for her after all.
After continuing her thoughts on the punishment she is going to inflict on Kaiden, Dana snapped out of this state. Why has her personality gotten fierier since coming into this world? Ever since becoming a spirit beast she found she loses her temper much easier and becomes angered at simple things. I think this bestial nature is affecting my personality even more than I thought, in her past life she was an incredibly calm person, but since coming to this world she can get provoked very easily and she has an attitude which is to settle any grievance no matter how small. S
uch as the Azure Emperor, since sending experts to enslave her, only thoughts of repaying him for such judgement plagued her mind. Such as the rumour situation, an irrational part of her says to teach Kaiden a lesson, however, Kaiden had no part in the rumours so such a reaction is unreasonable for her to have against him. Dana calms down deciding not to do anything to Kaiden, unknowingly to anyone else it seems Kaiden has escaped Dana's wrath in the end. Seeing Dana's face return to its calm state, Old Man Zhao let out a breath of relief, after all, he doesn't want one of his students to be attacked by his rampaging disciple.
After recovering a calm state, Dana and old man Zhao talked for thirty minutes about their experiences for the past month, Dana, of course, informed Old Man Zhao about her increase in cultivation and encounter with the Earth Wyrm's which deeply stupified Old Man Zhao of her monstrous talent in not only cultivation but also strength in fighting above her current cultivation rank. After they finished their discussion, Dana decided to talk to Old Man Zhao about her plan with the other noble families and requiring his assistance to get all of the Houtian subordinates in one place, after hearing Dana a look of understanding crossed old man Zhao's face.

"So you are presumably the reason of those noble clans making a move? As I spent a long time undercover on this continent, I know the true nature of the Azure Emperor so I'll go along with your scheme. But, that is only because you're my disciple and the one who showed me a kindness by staying in this Empire was the Azure Emperors Father who passed away as a result of his thirst of power, at the time I couldn't do anything for my old friend when he was killed cold heartily by his own son, but it seems you have given me an opportunity to avenge him. Dana, I can call an emergency gathering tomorrow as I am now the second strongest Houtian in the Azure Continent, they will definitely respond." Assured Old Man Zhao, after he spoke she learned this Azure Emperor truly was incredible in the talent of creating enemies. He seemingly has not only made many noble families incredibly displeased with him to the point of them wanting his death but the usual kind and benevolent old man Zhao.
With Old Man Zhao's affirmation, Dana decided to hand him the pill which she bought with all her points gained from the Earth Wyrms.
"Old Man Zhao, take this pill and don't hesitate from using it at all. I know it's valuable, but it's nothing which will benefit me, in the future, I will provide you with an even greater gift in extending your life. You have been my first Master and also kind in providing me such a valuable technique for nothing more than a promise to keep it from disappearing in the world, so I will never personally forget the act of hospitality you have shown towards me!" Dana declared amiably while pressing a pill in old man Zhao's hand, what she gave Old Man Zhao was a Rank 3 Life Expending Pill an incredibly rare and expensive pill to produce.
Even the Tier Four Sect Old Man Zhao was originally present it might not get their hands on such a pill, and even if they did would they provide it to Old Man Zhao? Although he was valued for being present with the Sect Mistress since birth, giving such a priceless pill to him would be described as a waste for the sect. As Old Man Zhao will be stuck at the cultivation all of his life, whereas you could use the pill to extend the life of a powerful cultivator which would be much more favourable towards the sect itself.
The pills functions are to extend a cultivators life for ten years, and in that time a cultivator can even make a breakthrough doubling their lifespan also bringing a new powerful expert in the sect, and even if the breakthrough fails, they will still have a powerful cultivator present for an additional ten years so you can see why Old Man Zhao wouldn't be considered for use of such a pill.
And does Dana truly regret using all of her points to purchase such a valuable pill?
No, as she knows she will get plenty of more points in the future and perhaps then she will look back thinking that many points are simple minuscule to her. Old Man Zhao showed her great kindness since she has been here, not only providing a rare cultivation method but he treated her like his own Granddaughter!
So, Dana had no hesitation in extending the Old Man's life with this rare pill as he is truly the first individual she has truly grown fond of in this world. She knows that she and the Old Man will never be in the same world as each other, as she will grow continually stronger and progress further in cultivation Ranks whereas his talent has already been used up. But, that doesn't mean she cannot extend his life, letting him live his final years pleasantly, as a symbol of gratefulness towards him.
Seeing the pill a dumbfounded look emerged on Old Man Zhao's face, but he immediately attempted to hand the pill back as such a valuable pill shouldn't be used on a man like him! However, he found Dana wouldn't take no for an answer which left a reluctant Old Man Zhao after taking the pill, although he dreamt about having a pill to extend his life, he never truly thought it was possible for acquiring it and he still felt that Dana was wasting such an expensive resource on an untalented individual like him, however he still felt incredibly warm at the kindness Dana shown him.
After handing Old Man Zhao the pill and receiving his assistance for her in the plan with dealing with the Azure Emperor, Dana decided to cultivate until tomorrow in which it would finally be the time in which she can take care of a man which had constantly been in her thoughts for repaying back the grievance that he caused towards her.

Almost a Good Person
A memory, a memory of a boy who wanted more than pain, of a girl who wanted more than death, and an Isle that should not exist. The Isle of Red is a small, unassuming, quiet place. It is just large enough for a college, a small town, and maybe even a few more unusual sorts of places. Of course, the townsfolk practically know each other as family. Flush-faced regulars can be found toasting just about anything in the Briar's Brew, then, a few streets away, the same haggle of older women stationed themselves on their perch as they did every day from one of the few balconies in Central Square. They fuss away now, spouting the usual gossip as they watch us all from on high. Then there is the College here on the Isle of Red. My college. It has been often described as an unusual place by a good deal of people on the mainland. If they only would visit -why I am sure they'll soon have a change of heart, they may even come to find it a quaint sort of place, odd but in the same way a tattered old quilt can be both odd looking and warm, and especially soft. We teach mostly the same sort of disciplines here, with fantastic and absolutely normal professors.I must conclude that I am quite smitten with myself. The stage is set with a level of perfection that would have astonished me in my youth. They are coming. Derek will follow her. He knows the weight of reality too intimately, but she will be his true north if only for a short time. A beacon in the storm to show him the stunning pastels and brightness the sun may yet refract through his thinner, sharper pieces. Theoline will lead as she always has- well not always, not yet. She holds onto questions feverishly tight, that one. Lights them up inside like a new type of fuel without the slightest worry of being burned. She knows... There is but a certain few who can look at a map and find nothing where I stand but the Atlantic Ocean. And still, there is earth beneath me, a noisy pub down the road from me, and several people clucking conspiratorially on a balcony above me. She knows... that the Isle of Red doesn't belong here. Neither, technically, do I. (Hello!

He doesn’t even own a motorcycle. An outsider, ex-military and unsuspecting sucker, Gideon is the latest victim of the Club’s brotherhood appeal. Vice President Savannah Barker knows better. The Club is a bunch of party loving, thrill seeking adrenaline junkies with a nose for mischief. Their idea of playing hard is a good brawl and involves the words trigger happy lunatics. Her Grandfather, Brand, President of the Club is the worst of the lot. It’s the officers’ jobs to keep the rest of the world from find out that they’re more than a group that loves motorcycles and explosions. They’re werewolves.

Before the new prospect can change the rankings, Brand sends the ignorant Gideon on a rescue mission under the supervision of Savannah and her team. Soon the bets are flying on if Gideon has what it takes and how long this lone prospect is going to last. The routine snag and drag turns complicated when it turns out the client lied, and an attack on their home turf makes some believe that the new Prospect is involved. The Heathen’s have a responsibility to the man they rescued and their reputation is on the line. Is this a new beginning or the beginning of the end for the Heaven’s Heathens?
