Death... and me

Rean and Roan did notice the change. Their articulations got more flexible, the organs more resistant, and it felt like they could drive Spiritual Energy around their bodies easier. However, the difference wasn't anything remarkable. They would need to take several of these baths before a significant change happens.

"Oh well, we can access it any time we want, so we can simply come here every day."

[Cough, cough... You can access the bath anytime you want, but it will take at least six months before the Yin Yang essence restores to what you just witnessed.]

Rean and Roan looked at Sister Orb with weird faces.

[What? I didn't lie, okay? I just forgot to tell you the rest of the information.]

The twins would need to be idiots to believe her.

"Whatever, let's take a look at the reward system. It has already been over 720 hours, so we should be able to see what changed now."

Rean and Roan then touched the Soul Gem Orb and sent their Spiritual Energy and Sense inside.

[Tiger Bones - 500 Destiny Points] (New)

[Spiritual Sense Absorption Upgrade Level 2 - 1000 Destiny Points] (10%)

[Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade 2 - 800 Destiny Points] (New)

[Yin Yang Bathhouse - Reward from Destiny Strugglers Title]

[Soul Connection Range Upgrade level 2 – 1500 Destiny Points] (300km)

[Soul Gem Blacksmith Workshop - 400 Destiny Points] (New)

[Soul Gem Alchemy Workshop - 400 Destiny Points] (New)

Rean couldn't help but look at the Soul Gem Blacksmith Workshop with shining eyes. A Blacksmith Workshop created by the Soul Gem System was bound to come with some very attractive extra perks.

"Sister Orb, what's the difference between the Soul Gem Workshop and a normal one?"

[In a single word, control! You can use your connection with the Soul Gem System to control the tools inside the workshop with much higher precision.]

Rean was excited to hear that. However, after checking the Destiny Points necessary, he could only sigh.

"400 Destiny Points... Although it's not that expensive, we really can't afford to waste our Destiny Points at the moment."

Roan nodded.

"Indeed. I'm also very interested in the Alchemy Workshop. However, we need to guarantee that we have 1000 Destiny Points first. Anyway, the rewards won't disappear, so we can only leave at it for the moment."

Rean agreed with Roan.

"Oh, right! Sister Orb, was there any changes in Destiny Points? The Sect already presented the new communication system to the imperial family, so destiny definitely changed to some extent, right?"

[Indeed. You had 41 Destiny Points when you came up with the idea of the new communication system. Roan contributed another 300 points after he became an Earth Low-Level Alchemist. By the time the Sect Master made the announcement, the electrical communication system had already rewarded you two with 127 points. At the moment, you have 468 Destiny Points.]

Rean couldn't help but say.

"It was a lot less than I thought."

[There is no helping it. Your system has just been presented to the world. However, the only place that has it installed is Majorias City and our Sect. Simply put, you got 127 by just showing it. The real points will start to come after it began to expand.]

Rean nodded.

"Since that's the case, then it's good."

Roan took the chance to change the topic, though.

"By the way, I understand what the Tiger bones are about. However, what about the Dimensional Realm Upgrade 2? What will we gain if we buy it?"

[That's a secret. Before you start complaining, know that it isn't me who wants to keep it hidden, but the Soul Gem System itself. I can only follow its decisions.]

Roan nodded.

"I see. Well, the fact that it is hidden means that it is something quite good."

[Indeed, I'm sure you won't regret it when you get enough Destiny Points to buy it.]

"Well, we saw the new rewards, but we can't take any. Anyway, I guess the bathhouse is already a good addition."

Rean and Roan then talked with Sister Orb for a while more and exited the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. By now, night time had already come. Since they were beside their beds, they decided to sleep anyway. After all, they were feeling tired after that hellish bath.

The next day, Rean and Roan separated once more, going back to their own things.

Roan quickly arrived at the Alchemy Repository and went direct to Old Worm. The old man, of course, was already waiting for him.

"What is it?"

"I need a few ideas about which herbs to use to make Dark and Light Element cultivation Stabilizing Pills."

Old Worm didn't even look at Roan before saying.

"The materials for such pills are quite expensive. Can you really afford them? It can't compare with the items necessary for Energy Gathering Pills. Not to mention that you will have to do a lot of tests since there are no ready formulas for pills of your elements. That means even more Spirit Stones."

Roan didn't mind, though.

"Spirit Stones shouldn't be a problem. Go ahead and tell me."

Old Worm's attention was finally caught.

"Oh-ho... Since that's the case, I can give you a few ideas."

Old Worm then wrote down two lists of herbs. The first one had the herbs that would be part of the Cultivation Stabilizing Pill regardless of the element. Roan looked at that and recognized that they weren't that expensive.

However, the second list was much bigger, with at least five times the number of herbs. Not to mention that there were quite a few rare ones.

"The herbs in the first list can be bought in our Sect as long as you have the Spirit Stones. However, the second one might be quite hard for you to purchase. Not to mention that you might not even find them in our Sect for sale. In that case, you will need to procure them yourself."

"The reason I put so many herbs in the second list was that I don't know what would be the right combination for Dark or Light Element Cultivation Stabilizing Pills. You will need to test it yourself. Anyway, I spoke too much already. You can go."

Roan didn't bother Old Worm anymore and quickly left. He already checked the herbs available in the Sect quite a few times, so Roan knows which ones he can get here and which he can not.

'Cave Mandragora Essence, Midday Ginseng, Frigid Alligator Core, and Two-Tailed Sun Phyton blood. These four items will be quite hard to acquire...'
