Talent Swallowing System

"I will come back in a week again. Also, I don't want to be disturbed when I come here again with the unnecessary crowd."

If the news about a Golden Core Realm Cultivator were to be spread, all the cultivators would be standing in front of the Infinite Treasures Pavillion.

Moreover, to increase their sales, Leo knew that the old manager might intentionally spread the information about him.

Therefore, he indirectly warned the old manager that he didn't want to be disturbed when he came to the pavilion in the future.

"Don't worry, Sir. I will make sure you won't feel any discomfort."

The old manager indeed had such thoughts; however, since he received a mild warning already, he removed all those thoughts from his head.

Compared to angering a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, having him as a client was much better for him.

Also, until now, whatever Leo had done in the Infinite Treasures Pavilion, like using the names of his disciples to buy the storage rings and using the special pills to buy the things…everything makes the old manager feel that Leo was not just a regular Golden Core Realm Cultivator but a special one.

Therefore, the old manager felt that he had to be careful with his actions.

"I will be leaving now."

Soon, Leo silently left the Infinite Treasure Pavilion and after making sure that no one was following, he quietly entered the sect under the veil of darkness.

….

In the Twilight Moon Sect,

As soon as Leo entered the sect, he didn't change his outfit as he directly went to look for Ethan.

Ethan followed Leo's instructions and entered the Twilight Moon Sect. In the sect, he was received by Gallant and the three elders who had already received orders from Leo through the communication talisman.

"Ethan, from today onwards, you will be a secret disciple of my Twilight Moon Sect."

After finding Ethan in one of the Disciple Courtyards, Leo removed his mask and showed his face while showing his real identity.

"M-master….Sect Leader Leo…y-you…when did you become a Golden Core Realm Cultivator?"

Ethan was shocked to see that the master he had acknowledged earlier was the sect leader of the Twilight Moon Sect.

According to the rumours in Silvermoon City, it was known that the Sect Leader Leo was nearing his lifespan and he didn't have much time left to live.

So, it was another surprise that Ethan received from Leo.

"Master, I will do as you order."

Of course, Ethan was quick to control his emotions as he respectfully acknowledged Leo's order.

"Of course, I will make sure you become a powerful cultivator."

Leo assured Ethan regarding the cultivation resources that Ethan needs along with the combat experience needed by every cultivator.

"First, let's start with your breakthrough to the Foundational Establishment Realm."

Leo wanted to help Ethan become a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator to break his curse.

Of course, he was not doing this just because of Ethan's sake but he was expecting some good rewards from [Heaven's Voice]

"But, master, I am still a level 9 Qi-refinement cultivator. I need some time to perfect my Qi-refinement."

Ethan explained about his cultivation.

Because, as far as Ethan knows, one needed to be at the perfected Qi-refinement before attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

So, he was worried a little about his breakthrough and informed Leo about it.

"Don't worry. As your master, I won't let something happen to you."

Leo revealed a slight smile as he asked, "Of course, if you don't believe me, let's not attempt your breakthrough."

"Master, I believe you."

As soon as Leo asked that, Ethan didn't waste any time as he instantly replied.

As for why Leo didn't hesitate to ask such a question because he had already learned from [Heaven's Voice] that he had received full acknowledgement from Ethan.

With such a level of acknowledgement, how could Ethan not trust Leo? And of course, Leo knew about it.

"Here, consume these six pills."

Just like how Leo gave the six pills, three top-level Qi Refinement Pills and three top-level Qi-Harmony Pills which gives a 90 percent success rate for the Qi-refinement cultivator.

As for the remaining 10 percent, almost all the cultivators….even a mediocre cultivator would have such a success rate.

Ethan was a genius who was as good as Novan and Leo already learned from the [Quasi-Divine Knowledge] that Ethan could easily break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm using those pills.

"Yes, master."

Taking the pills, Ethan swallowed them all in a single go just like how Novan did previously.

Unlike before, since Ethan was inside the Disciple Courtyard, the breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm won't be known by the outside world because the courtyard had an array that won't leak the aura of the cultivator who was breaking through to the next realm.

Hence, Leo was not worried too much about it and helped Ethan control the violent moon energy in Ethan's body.

'Calm down…calm down.'

Leo was good at controlling the violent energy as it didn't take much time for him to get the violent energy under his control.

'Kacha'

In no time, Ethan had successfully perfected his Qi-refinement cultivation; however, Ethan didn't stop his cultivation or open his eyes as he used the moon energy in his body to force his way into the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Time continued to pass and one hour passed by as one hour passed by in a flash and finally, there was a crisp sound that came from Ethan's body.

'Swoosh'

Suddenly, the aura emitted by Ethan's body had changed into a Foundation Establishment Cultivator's, making Leo heave a sigh of relief.

[Congratulations to the ascender for helping the [Heaven's Chosen One] breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm]

[Congratulations to the ascender for helping the [Heaven's Chosen One] in breaking his curse]

[Please select one of the items from the following three items]

1) Low-level Foundation Establishment Pills x 10.

2) Low-level Moon Stones x 10.

3) Foundation Upgradation Chance.

[Please select one of the items from the following three items]

1) Mid-level Foundation Establishment Pills x 10.

2) Mid-level Moon Stone x 1.

3) A Rank 3 Beast Cub.

Before Ethan could open his eyes, Leo received a series of announcements from [Heaven's Voice] which assured Leo that Ethan's breakthrough was successful.

'Huh? I can pick the rewards two times?'

Leo already knew that he would get the reward when Ethan breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment Realm; however, he didn't expect that he would receive another reward for breaking Ethan's curse.

He didn't do much in breaking the curse, but Leo was still receiving the reward, making him more happy and more satisfied with his new disciple.

'From the first set of rewards, I can eliminate the first reward; however, the second and third are body useful.'

With 10 low-level Moon Stones, Leo could get a mid-level Moon Stone which was enough for him to upgrade his talent along with 100 low-level moonstones.

'However, I won't get the chance to upgrade my Foundation again and again.'

Currently, Leo's foundation was only a Silver Grade one which was considered trash in the eyes of others.

However, if he could upgrade it to Gold Grade, not only will it increase his success rate of breaking through to the Golden Core Realm but it would also increase his cultivation and battle prowess.

'Let's go with the third reward.'

After hesitating for a while, Leo selected the third reward which could be considered as an heaven-defying event.

'Swoosh'

Soon, Leo's body was shown with a bright golden light for a moment and in the next second, the Silver-coloured pillar in Leo's dantian started turning into Golden colour.

[The ascender's foundation has been successfully upgraded to Golden Colour].

The process didn't take much time and it was painless; however, Leo could already feel the differences in his body.

His body felt much stronger and his bones had a golden luster.

'As for the second set of rewards…once again, I am in a dilemma to pick between the second and third reward.'

A rank 3 beast cub, as long as nurtured properly, Leo would have another Golden Core Realm expert in the sect and when it comes to nurturing the beast, Leo could get many special cultivation resources for the beast and he could even evolve it into a Nascent Soul Stage Beast.

'That's it! I will go with the beast cub and if I can evolve it, I might trigger a new title or a hidden mission.'

The higher the beast he evolved, the better the reward he received from [Heaven's Voice].

Moreover, it won't be easy to get his hands on a Rank 3 Beast Cub without entering the depths of the Dark Moon Forest and which Leo was not planning to do anytime soon.

'Even though I need to get the System Fragment, it can wait until I have properly established myself here and have some powerful followers and disciples.'

Leo silently thought in his head as he received the reward from [Heaven's Voice].

'Swoosh'

'Thud'

A small beast cub appeared in front of Leo and the moment it appeared, the floor below the beast was broken.

'A Thunder Rhino?'

Seeing the hound-sized Rhino in front of him, Leo was shocked because it was a rare beast and as long as it reached Rank 3, it could even injure the rank 4 beasts or Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.

'As expected of [Heaven's Voice], it always surprises me with its rewards.'

Leo was happy that he chose the beast cub because he got a better deal as he hurriedly checked the information on it and nodded his head in satisfaction.
