"finally" Gracie scoffed.
She was sitting here for 15 days, if something would have gone wrong she would have helped him with her experience or called for help.
"Why, you bored?" Harry said while seeing something in front of him.
"I am bored as hell, you know how much time passed?"
"2 days?" Harry speculated. He was lost in trial of regret.
"15 days, it's already been 15 days" Gracie said angrily.
She was already feeling her cultivation reaching level 5. She needed some time to assimilate things that build up.
"I am going to cultivate, and don't worry I won't take 15 days just to level up once"
Gracie grumbled and shut her eyes.
Harry feeling dry, used Qi replenishment pills to freshen up.
Then seeing gracie in cultivation he decided to keep an eye on her.
[Congratulations you have reached Elemental master level 1]
[+2 stat points]
[Congratulations you have received 'Shadow' element]
Then there was another message about his body cultivation.
It has also reached to level 3 because of his Qi cultivation.
When he saw his new element, he was not impressed, expecting some rarer elements like necromancy, chaos, void.
He remembered the person who fought with him to alpha wolf also had shadow element.
He just shook his head in dejection.
"System, now it's all up to you" Harry said this because every person leads their element, some can make same element for utilities and some can make it solely for fight.
He was in no control of that. But for some reason he was feeling that system was carving every element for him.
Making it best suitable for him.
He checked his new skill that came with shadow element.
[Shadow step : Level 1
Turn into shadows and can do Short-distance teleport (5 meters), only works in dimly lit areas. Vulnerable in shadow form.]
(Upgrade: 2 stat points)
Well it was similar to that man's technique. He still remembered how he ran in the jungle with the help of similar skills.
"Not bad" he needed a skill that makes his life easy while escaping.
Harry checked his stat points.
He had seven stat points after the recent level up.
He Don't want to waste them. He knew leveling up skills now will give him time to get grasp of skill.
But he didn't had many stat points to try. He will better use them in a tough situation where he will be sure which skill will help him in that instant and if leveling up would help him.
If he could guess his current powerlevel. It was compared to a normal level 4 Qi cultivater. And that's if he don't take his extra element in consideration.
Having a variety of attacks itself Could make a difference in combat.
He Waited for a day when gracie opened her eyes. Full of resolves, determination evident in her eyes. As she saw Harry, all those emotion vanished.
"Saw that, I am way faster then you" Gracie smirked.
"Yeah, of course. At the end you are a legacy" Harry also smirked.
"You bastard, I am getting sick. Sitting in this room for so many days"
Harry and Gracie left the room.
"I have something, I need to do, you wanna come with me" Harry asked.
"No, I am also getting sick of your face. I will see if Liam and Blake are out" Gracie parted ways.
Harry remembered the lady in market. He asked her to make more rings and bracelets of celestium.
She had asked him to come a week later, he was already late by 2 weaks.
"I hope, she still have those items" Harry prayed and left for the market.
As he arrived before the shop, the lady was sitting bored.
"Hello mam, are the items ready" Harry asked.
She raised her eyebrows hearing the voice.
"You finally came, you said you will come in a week and here you are, it's about to be 3 weeks." The lady said.
Bringing out 20 rings and 20 bracelets made of celestium.
"I am really sorry, I got busy" Harry apologised.
"Yeah..yeah, who cares, here take them and give me money" the lady ignored his apology.
'what a trash attitude' Harry thought and gave out his last share of purse.
Now he was hoping, as he invested in gracie by buying her sword. She will also lend some if he needed.
But he can't ignore the money he could make selling those rings and bracelet.
He considered leveling up his storage space skill. But then he threw the thought out of the window.
Currently he needed power, and what would be better than having an extra fighting skill. He knew he could buy tones of artifact, but they were temporary.
And who knows if he will get time to use them.
He believes most in his own power. No artifact could give him that confidence.
"I hope to continue trade with you, so i expect I will get more items next time" Harry took farewell.
Although he didn't like her attitude but that was the only reason he wanted to continue.
She don't care about his personal life, neither she care what he was using those items for.
He was going through the market seeing many items that he would like to buy. Items that enables a person to breath underwater. A item that adapts to temparature.
Things like these don't help much to cultivaters but these items could be treasure for Normal humans.
He remembered a say.
"A trash for someone could be gold for another".
As he murmured those words, he remembered whom he heard them from.
Gracie, it was Gracie who said it.
Then it clicked, what makes a person alive.
If it's not soul than what.
It was simple, the mere fact that he was thinking about these questions, it was the proof that he was alive.
"But, then a beast who can't think, is dead" As he pondered on these thoughts he reached his room.
Gracie, Liam and black were already there.
"We have noticed something very interesting".
Harry was curious, the first thing they said was not greetings or formality.
Then must be something really interesting.
"And that is" Harry said bringing one of the rings out.
He was in hurry to make new items and earn a lot of money to buy those items and try to learn their making.
"I noticed that members of some big families are withdrawing from the academy" Liam told Harry.
"Are they afraid of exam?" Harry asked.
"That's the interesting part, because members who are average in fighting also withdrew. Only those on the top are still here.
