The Legacy System

In no time there were new clothes for Eric inside his private box, but that deft medicine smell inside the room hadn\'t disappeared yet.

Old Na was clearly surprised with the scene he was faced with once he entered inside the private box, especially with the sweaty and tired appearance of Eric.

​​

He seemed like he had gone through some harsh training, or some life and death fight when he seemed to only have dealt with the herbs that he had ordered.

Of course, Old Na wasn\'t stupid to not understand what might have happened inside the room, especially with the bottle potions over the table, but this didn\'t mean he wasn\'t surprised and startled.

In his head, Eric was getting more and more obscure and mysterious. Alchemists and people that knew pill and potions concocting were like the feathers on a phoenix\'s tail.

They were extremely rare, and a great attraction to everyone. Of course, the treatment they got was also one of the best possible, as they were treated even better than some of their elders.

Especially thinking of someone at Eric\'s age, he was still a young kid of about 18 or 20 years old. He clearly had a great future in front of him.

But such a talent like Eric was practically impossible to be self-grown, but even powers that could nurture him to this point were almost inexistent in this small planet.

So just who was Eric, or just what was his background!? He had no idea about who Eric was, he only knew that his Master had totally subjugated to Eric.

At first, he had thought that his Master must have lost his mind for a moment and had agreed to this without considering it rightly.

But now with each passing time, he was slowly getting more and more convinced that the shortsighted person was him, and not his Master.

With these thoughts in mind, he was expecting for Eric\'s next words. On the other hand, Eric was resting a bit after that really tiring experience.

While he was really tired right now, he didn\'t care much about it as he was much more satisfied with what he did.

His start was really promising and he was improving with each time, really soon he would be much more efficient

After a small rest he took a deep breath, and better positioning himself on the couch, he took 3 letters and started writing some things in there.

Then he prepared 2 small containers, one of them containing 3 potion bottles of each, and one containing one potion bottle of each.

Then he placed the letters inside the containers, and then handing them towards Old Na he said in a serious tone,

  "Old Na take these and go to the Takeshiba Mansion, tell them I sent you, and hand these personally to Takeshiba Family Head, he will be waiting for you."

He didn\'t this while he sent a message to Takeshiba Aika to go and inform her father personally, with a simple message,

\'Eric was sending him over his gift!\'

Old Na was a bit surprised by this but didn\'t say anything, he just acknowledged his assignment and left to complete it, while Eric called for the siblings to come inside the private box.

Doing the same thing as earlier he started writing three other letters, and placed 3 potion bottles of each potion inside another container, and handed them over the same instructions as Old Na.

The only difference was that this container wasn\'t going for the Takeshiba family but to the Old Ghost, this was a sample of what he would be sending them from now on.

Perhaps he was a bit hasty in sending this gift to them but he had to show goodwill towards them, and keep them in check until he showed them a bigger threat than him.

When he finished all this, the deft smell of the medicine seemed to have almost disappeared, and he could finally rest for a little bit more.

With that thought on his mind he once again entered meditation, and started relaxing his body, and also his mental state, thinking about nothing, and keeping his mind clear of anything.

It didn\'t take long for him to recover his lost HP, Stamina, and Spirit Power as with his new level up his processing had increased by more than 2 or 3 times.

When he was finally totally recovered, he started practicing his cultivation method and was trying to once again circle his Qi inside his meridians.

With his latest level up the Qi inside his body seemed to be more abundant as the truck had become even bigger and more tangible.

At the same time, he could feel that he was becoming more and more proficient with its handling and use, as he could feel that the Qi inside him was not only growing in quantity but even quality.

Still, he could feel that something was missing, or to be more exact something was off with the Qi inside his body.

It didn\'t seem to condense, and it was thinner than it should be, or like its concentration wasn\'t the right one.

This was the first time he was truly cultivating Qi himself, because in the previous life everything was handled by the system he had, and he had never thought about it.

Still, probably due to the system, he could feel that something was wrong, and with a new thought inside his mind, he started to try and condense the Qi inside his body.

At first, he felt that it was something impossible, it was like trying to condense a big mass of mist using his hands.

Not to mention that it was really difficult to collect and condense it, but the mass was also really big. He felt that no matter how much he expanded his hands he wouldn\'t be able to reach and gather them.

Thinking like this he decided to take a different approach and started taking small amounts of it and condenses it in small amounts.

Even this new method didn\'t seem to work at first, as it seemed really difficult, but his unbending will and stubbornness guided him towards success.

He was able to turn the first handful of mist into a single droplet of liquid Qi. Outside he was sweating like crazy, as everything he had recovered was almost spent in that one handful of misty Qi.

But still, he was happy and was laughing like an idiot, because he had finally managed to do what he had to do.

As a matter of fact, this was the next step in his cultivation manual, turning all the Qi inside his body into liquid Qi.

Only after turning all the Qi inside his body into liquid Qi would he be able to reach the next stage of his cultivation and have a great increase in his strength.

Right now with that little droplet of liquid Qi, he felt like a small kid who had done his first step into walking with his own steps.

Even though this was the second time he was living his life, he still got excited like a kid for any step forwards that he took.

In fact, this second time was truly different from his first, as there were new things he was learning and trying. This time he was finally understanding what he was doing, and what his direction truly was.

In this happiness, he just lied down on the couch without doing anything and just resting and relaxing in the same old way, of relaxing by doing nothing.

He was just lying there and thinking about what to do from now, everything seemed to go in the right direction, but he had to make sure the direction didn\'t change.

In fact, the thing he was more concerned about at this time was the recruitments, he needed a lot of manpower, and especially talents he could train.

Of course, Shiro and Daisuke were doing their part but soon he would have to start acting himself. There were people only he could recruit, as he remembered them from his previous future.

With these thoughts in mind, he took pen and paper trying to prepare a list of names that he could remember.

A lot of time had passed but he still was able to remember almost all of the people that should be living at the moment and their best occupations.

It took a while but he was able to write all the names that he thought he would be able to recruit and were necessary for his foundation.

With that finished he got up from the couch and got outside as he inspected the restaurant for a moment, especially a kitchen, and then left the place.

Like this two weeks passed in complete quietness and relaxation. In these two weeks, Eric was mostly concentrated on his cultivation and alchemy.

He almost shut down all the contact with the outside world as he told even Takeshiba\'s family head, and Old Ghost to not contact him this week as he would be really busy.

He went to his university too, but it was only for the library and the wide range of books and information he was able to find there.

That pair of eyes would always keep staring at him whenever he reached there, but he didn\'t get bothered by that, as he let the owner of the eyes, come and talk to him herself.

Of course, there were also some eyes full of killing intent following behind him every time he got outside, but they were most probably Kirigaya Patriarch\'s people.

They were just flies to him, as really soon the Kirigaya Patriarch would change, and those people would most probably end meeting King Yama in hell.

There was nothing necessary mentioning for these two weeks, as the exciting events would start from today…
