After making simple roads made of stone and dirt I polished them a bit and they looked decent, I made areas where I can make houses, but I decided to delay it for some time, it is unnecessary for now.

I decided to get new clothing, I don't know how I have these either, I never bought any, when I woke up I had them, they were a simple t-shirt and pants.

'Shop, Search 'clothing'

[High ranking noble clothes]

Hmm, they are good but too much blue colour and unnecessary fabric

After searching for a while I found ones to my liking

[Emperor Mu clothing]

It was clothing you would often see in the cultivation world, it was a long black robe with golden decoration on it.

'Buy [Emperor Mu clothing]'

After buying it, it was transported into my inventory, I changed into it and it looked good if I have to say myself.

'It would be good if I could find a forest, or a place where I could find resources, I hope people that come will know where I can find woods.'

After this, I caught a few fishes and got prompt

[Skill 'Fish catching' has reached level 5, do you wish to evolve skill?']

'Huuuuuh, this is a big surprise, skills can evolve? wouldn't this allow me to reach higher levels with magic within a shorter time if I evolve my magic skills?'

After thinking a bit I decided to evolve my skill.

'Evolve skill 'Fish Catching''

[Skill 'Fish Catching' evolved into 'magic chain']

After this I got a surge of information, I acquired information regarding how I could use magic to capture fish's but it could also be used in combat.

I approached the river and said 'magic chain!'

the green-coloured chain came out of the ground and the first fish that came close to it got impaled and killed, after that chain disappeared and before fish could fall to the ground another chain appeared and impaled other fish in the lake, because of lack of mana Gung Sook-Joo got pretty tired after only 2 chain attacks, so he cancelled skill.

After he ate he decided that he would evolve his skills so he can defend against people that will arrive in 7 days if things don't go the way he planned them to go, he would first make a wall which can defend again animals and magical beasts in future

He used the 'resource management' tab to get rocks and bought a blueprint for the wall it coated him 5points.

'Build the stone wall!'

[Building stone wall]

Stone started turning into brick's and placing itself in a circular shape over the kingdom, or at this stage barely village.

After it was done he went home and started practising the 'Water Mryad' technique

After 3 hours he made the first pillar, immediately after that he felt better connection between himself and the mana that surrounded him, he could feel fluctuations in mana when they happened.

After 10 hours of non-stop, and making 3 additional pillars, he got several prompts from the m system suggesting that he levelled up in meantime.

[Skill 'Mana circulation' has reached level 5, do you wish to evolve this skill?]

Incredibly happy I said 'Evolve skill'

[Skill 'Mana Circulation' evolved into 'Mana Flow']

He immediately felt much better control over mana, mana circulation had very limited control over mana, it could move into a singular line until it reached the next golden circuit, but mana flow allowed complete control over mana movement, it could be moved and bent at will allowing several times faster circulation.

He wanted to test a bit but his progress with technique would regress.

He spent the next 2 days decorating walls, eating, watering tree and training.

And he reached the second stage of 'Water Mryad' at this point he built all pillars supporting his body, he didn't feel any significant change except that he reached the level where he was able to see mana if he focused.

He also reached level nine in 'mana shaping' and level five in 'pillar building' but he was unable to evolve it.

After 2 days tree started growing at an abnormal speed, it already reached 2meters in height.

Mana shaping a technique that allows its user to use external mana mixing it with its's own, shape it to will, and give it properties.

Mana shaping work on the principle of pulling external mana toward the user, mixing it with his mana and giving it the element of its's own.

Using mana shaping to me was easier than it was to other people thanks to water myrad which the best technique in the book for building a foundation for mana shaping.

I tried making something simple, I pulled a small amount of mana towards me, after that I pulled water mana from the river mixed them and my mana, the process was smooth, at that moment a small drop of water formed above my hand.

Ding

[Unlocked skill 'Mana shaping ']

Woohoo! I celebrated, well time to continue with grind but I shall try some experiments first, I tried sending tread of mana towards my eyes and brain, results were fascinating, I could see mana and my eyesight got so much better, after that I tried sending my mana into a fist which resulted into reinforcing bones and muscles, and my strength increased.

Remembering that a group of people will be coming soon I made 5 houses, houses were good looking but they had 1 floor and were made out a wood.

Houses were empty though

I started training 'mana shaping' and evolved it into 'mana altering' which enabled me much better control over mana, elements and most importantly allowed me to change mana composition when I already launched a spell.

After another day I leveled 'Mana Flow' to level 10 and evolved it into 'Mana sculpting' allowing me to make even the most difficult things out a mana, this had its effect on mana shaping too so it became much more efficient, I could even make dual spells consisting of 2 elements without a chaotic backfire.

I also levelled up 'Magic chain' to level 3

And so the day when group of people are supposed to come came.
