Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel

Chiron came down the Cored beast.

Elder Joules was really surprised by his request to choose a plant by himself. However, this was the reward that was promised.

Normally no one was allowed into the chief's garden. Except of course, the person was permitted.

Elder Joules turned to Elder Ellen, "forgive me Elder Ellen, but as an external elder, you know the rules of the clan. Unless invited in by the Chief, You are not to enter into the Chief's manor."

Elder Ellen nodded, "don't worry! that's not a problem. I'll wait here for him, If he is not out in an hour time, I'll go get him myself." She gave a smirk to Elder Joules.

....

Elder Joules lead the way, and Chiron followed. It was the same just like the last time he was here. Except that this time around, he was not taken to any room but through the living quarters.

Along the way, Elder joules used a blind fold on Chiron's eyes. This was the Chief's special garden. Only very specific people were allowed knowledge and access to it.

And even more so, only the Chief was allowed to enter it.

Unless of course in Chiron's case which was a special case.

The truth was that when the promise for a reward was made, nobody expected that a Tamashi would come out victorious. In fact, the chief had expected his son to come out successful.

This would have been a good excuse to pump Cablen with exotic herbs. But unfortunately, the results were far less than desirable.

Elder Joules led Chiron through a flight of stairs that led deep into the earth. Through a cave, both of them arrived at a very large door with the carving of a dragon's face on it. It was so realistic that Chiron thought that the head of the dragon was going to pop out the door anytime.

When they got to this gate, Elder Joules removed the blind fold.

Although this was called the chief's garden, it was actually not only for the chief. This garden was the inheritance of every member of the Chikitsa clan.

It was just that the Chiefs from generation to generation controlled access to it. But did they truly control it?

The truth was that Chiron knew quite a few secrets of this clan. This were secrets he knew since he was the person that wrote the book. Many of such secrets included the fact this garden was actually not an ordinary place.

Elder Joules used a knife and made a cut on her hand, and then she placed it on the very huge door. The door glowed slightly. And the blood flowed through the door like water going through multiple pipes.

As it did, the door's glow increased. And then the blood went into the eyes of the dragon's head.

It glowed and then the dragon head seemed to come to life on its own accord. The eyes of the Dragon moved and it settled on Elder Joules and Chiron, "Children of Chikitsa! to what do I owe this visit?" the dragon asked in a deep loud voice.

This took Chiron by surprise, but he did not show it on his face.

"Great guardian of our ancestor's garden, I have brought the winner of this year's cultivation test. As it is tradition, he is allowed to come and pick one herb to help his cultivation from the garden."

"Of course, as it should be," the dragon looked closely at Chiron, "Hmmm!? A Tamashi!? A Tamashi won the cultivation test?" The dragon had obvious surprise in its voice.

Chiron stepped forward with his hands behind his back, "Yes, I did! Is there something wrong with that?"

This took Elder Joules by surprise. Chiron was supposed to be more polite to the dragon. Even the chief did not dare be rude, but Chiron was actually questioning it.

Both of them looked at each other straight in the eyes. After what felt like ages passing by in mere seconds, the Dragon suddenly burst out laughing, "good! good! I like this one. Boy! what is your name?"

"Chiron Chivalry." Chiron answered.

"Hmmm! So you are from the direct line of chiefs. No wonder! I can even hear the pride beating in your heart and through your entire body," the dragon smiled, "I expect great things from you. step forward!"

Chiron stepped forward.

The Dragon suddenly opened its mouth wide. The way into the garden was actually its mouth. Without fear or hesitation, Chiron left Elder Joules and walked in.

This was the truth about the garden. This was the reason why even the chief did not have exclusive access to it. It was because he couldn't. The rules of the clan only allowed winners of certain events held by the clan to enter the garden.

If not, with access to this mystical place, Chief Dona would have pumped his son full of herbs in other to increase his cultivation.

Chiron passed through the Dragon's mouth fearlessly. His eyes were fuzzy at first, and then he saw it.

This was a beautiful world. There were beautiful trees with weirdly shaped fruits unlike Chiron had ever seen in this life or the last.

The sun shone brightly in the sky and the grasses were green. They were a few herbivores here and there. There were also insects enjoying the nectar of plants. This gave the place a natural feel.

However, Chiron was not moved by this scene. That was because Chiron knew this place. This was actually what was called a subspace.

It was a different dimension within this world. Although the Chikitsa Clan owed this subspace, it was actually not the clan's ancestor that built it.

Rather, he inherited it from someone else and placed all the rules he did so that his descendants would also enjoy the garden.

The MC of the book eventually came to this place, but that was many years in the future. By then, this place had already been looted clean, and the subspace was at the brink of destruction.

He did not have the opportunity to enjoy the view before Chiron's eyes.

Chiron looked around him. Even though he could see trees on all sides, his eyes could tell that there was a slight separation.

Chiron was currently in the middle of the garden. This garden was divided into different areas based on the energies.

In other words, It had the right atmosphere for cultivating Aura plants, Elemental plants, Devil plants, spirit plants, and even magical plants.

These atmospheres were separated from each other by a thin invisible film.

Chiron looked around. Even from where he stood, he could see some very exotic plants. He was truly tempted to dive into the other parts of the garden and plug them, but he had to hold back on his greed.

He gritted his teeth, "One day, I'll definitely come back for this garden, but not yet."

He turned away and headed in the Aura direction. Searching through the incredible amount of herbs and exotic plants, he finally saw it.

Finally! after going through so much pain, his hard work had paid off.

The Thousand-year-old violet good-will flower was big and violet. It had four petals and looked more like an opened umbrella than it did a flower.

Next, was the plucking process. Plants were unique, and the one before his eyes was no exception.

It needed special methods to be harvested.

Chiron already had his tools in his storage space. He brought them out and harvested the plant like he was supposed to. And then he carefully placed the plant in a container.

As he did, he suddenly discovered he had a notification from the system.

>>Does the Host intend to copy the genetic make-up of the plant and add it to private garden?<<

This information took him by surprise. So the system has such a function?

For Chiron, this was incredible news.

He accepted, and ten points were taken out of his points. And another ten points to grow the garden in his private garden.

"Shit!!!" Chiron cursed. That was way too expensive. If he had known, he definitely would have not done that.

His stats were now:

//FATE CHANGE SYSTEM//

>>STS<<

Rank= Nil.

Health= 100

Strength=100

Agility=100

luck= 70

Stamina=100

Spirit energy= ??? (unusable)

Major Fate changed= Nil

Minor Fate changed= 35

Blood Pacts= 2/3

Blood Pact partner= Bama the Merchant.

= Elder Joules (secret)

Blood Bond= Devil's Touch.

>>Please allocate points<<

He had lost valuable points just so he could get one plant that was already before his eyes.

Chiron was truly pissed off by this, but there was nothing he could do. He had already done it.

He carried the plant and went back to the centre point.

And then his view changed, and he was before elder joules again. He looked down at his hands. The plant was still in the container.

Elder Joules saw the container in Chiron's hands. She was surprised to see that within the container, the plant was still intact.

She was not a fool. She was aware that many of those plants had special methods of harvesting. How did Chiron know how to harvest the plant.

However, she suddenly thought of Elder Ellen who was waiting outside.

Yes! it must be that shameless woman. She is most likely the person that needs the plant. She is just using the Tamashi to get it.

Elder Ellen shook her head in disgust.

Even before she had turned to move, Chiron had already tied the blind fold around his eyes. This place was a secret of the clan.

Not many people were allowed to know its location. Although Chiron already did, he had to pretend like he didn't.

As he left, the Dragon reverted back to its former state. However, as it did, it's eyes remained on Chiron, or rather, just above Chiron's head.

It shook its head in pity and once more became a carved image.

The moment Chiron came out of the Chief's manor, he did not even waste time thanking Elder Joules or telling her goodbye.

He immediately ordered that he be taken home.

It was time for him to acquire cultivation...
