The 3 bottles with pills inside appeared in front of Theo and the (Red fox).
Opening the bottle of [Wood Pill] first, Theo signalled for the (Red fox).
The (Red Fox) soon understood, taking the pill and swallowed it.
Seeing that she had just digested it, Theo went to the [Fire Pill] to open the bottle, which the (Red fox) also swallows.
(Red fox): "GRRR"
Even though she expected pain from consuming the pills, the [Fire Pill] refined the body, so the pain it did to her body was larger than the other pills, causing her to grunt from the pain.
At that moment, there was a lot of impurities coming out of her body.
After the effect was over, Theo gave her the last pill, the [Water Pill], and the (Red fox) swallowed it too.
(Red fox): "???"
This time she was surprised when she swallowed the [Water Pill], since instead of feeling the pain, it made her feel very well, since she cleansed the impurities of her body.
After consuming all the pills, the (Red fox) managed to reach the 3rd Tier of the Apprentice Kingdom.
Seeing that it was over, the (Red fox) headed toward Theo and began to rub her face again on his chest, wagging her tail quickly and very happily.
Theo: "Ahh, what a bad smell!!" Theo exclaimed, smelling the scent coming from the (Red fox) due to the impurities that came out of her body. And because of that, she ended up dirtying Theo as well.
Theo: "Hm, I wanted to take a shower anyways. I'll buy 2 water basins." He thought, opened the [System Store] and bought 2 basins with water, one with 10 liters and the other with 20 liters since the one 10 liters was only 1 meter in size, and he had grown from 160 cm. 165 cm, so he couldn't bathe in it.
The basins with water soon appeared in front of Theo and the (Red fox). Theo then signalled to the (Red fox) to get into one as he began to enter the other, cleaning himself.
The (Red fox) very smart and understood what Theo meant. Then she also went into the basin to take a bath.
-----------------------
After bathing, Theo left the basin. Feeling a little hungry, he tried to buy roast beef in the [System Store] but it did not work. He could only find meat, fish and many other things… but raw. So he decided to buy meat and cook it himself.
Searching in the [System Store], Theo managed to find a wood stove being sold in [System Store] for 20 points. So without wasting time, Theo left the [Cave] and bought the wood stove.
A square wood stove appeared, it was made of bricks with an iron plate on top of it. Theo then collected some dry branches and put them inside the wood stove. Then controlling his [Lightning], Theo managed to set fire to the dry branches.
Seeing that he managed to make it catch fire, Theo then bought 2 large pieces of meat in the [System Store] for 20 points.
Theo then placed the 2 pieces of meat on the iron plate to grill them. Turning them with difficulty using his claws, soon the smell of roasted meat became stronger.
Smelling the scent of the meat the (Red-Fox) came over to see while drooling when looking at the meat.
Seeing that it was ready, Theo bought 2 bowls and put the grilled meat on them.
"I confess that when smelling the grilled meat I could not help drooling ..." Theo said in his mind. After placing the meat in the bowl, Theo put the one near the (Red fox), and they began to eat.
After they started eating, Theo noticed that even if it didn't tempt him, it still had a very good taste, compared to the raw meat that he had been eating. After they ate all the meat, Theo put out the fire and returned to [Cave].
Remembering that there may be a mattress to buy in the [System Store], Theo went looking and found one for 20 [System Points]. He then bought it and placed it in a corner of the [Cave] and laid on the mattress. "Ahh! It's way better this way!" Theo thought as he laid down on the mattress.
(Red fox): "???"
The (Red fox) watched Theo lying down on the mattress. She stared at him, thinking and then went to him, and laid on his side leaning against him.
"She was very spoiled, wasn't she?" Theo murmured in his mind. Then he sighed and decided to let her stay like that.
After that, Theo searched the [System Store] for something that might help him cultivate, and he found it.
[50 Points]
[Compressed Mana Stone: Lower - Rank: 3]
[Effect: Being close to it helps to absorb mana several times faster]
Theo: "Okay, I'll buy 4 of these and since the (Red fox) is close to me, she can also absorb mana from it." He thought.
After buying them, 4 milky white stones appeared in front of Theo emitting white light from them.
The (Red fox) was already used to seeing Theo buy things like that, so she barely reacted to seeing the stones appear out of nowhere. She simply glanced over and then closed her eyes again, still leaning against Theo.

Theo: "Hm. I still have 361 points... my abilities have not increased, but I misused them today, I killed the majority with my affinity ... Okay, I'll cultivate!" Theo thought, closing his eyes. Then he began to practice his cultivation technique <Primordial Darkness Ray>.
When Theo began to cultivate while using <Primordial Darkness Ray>, he realized that the mana was coming into his body several times faster than before. Forming a vortex even larger than before and heading towards its [Magic Core]. After he cultivated for a long time. Theo began to feel mentally tired and decided to sleep.
*
Theo: "Morning already?" Theo wondered, waking up and looking to the outside of the [Cave], then he noticed that the sun was already out, confirming that it was already morning.
Seeing that the (Red fox) was still asleep, and seeing that there was still mana in the [Compressed Mana Stone]. Theo began to cultivate again using <Primordial Darkness Ray>. When Theo began to absorb the mana for his [Magic Core]. He almost managed to move to the next tier when the [Compressed Mana Stones] began to fall apart after they ran out of Mana.
Satisfied with the result of his cultivation thanks to [Compressed Mana Stones], Theo decided to hunt again to increase his [System Points]. With those thoughts in mind, Theo bought: 2 [Compressed Mana Stones] before leaving. Then he left the (Red fox) who was still sleeping.
After he made his preparations, Theo left the [Cave].
*
Walking through the forest, Theo confronted many smaller animals. Killing some, and others ran when they saw him. Obviously, there were always some brave ones who went to attack Theo in packs. But to their unhappiness and to Theo's happiness, they eventually became [System Points].
Theo: "Hm?! A (Leopard)?" Not far from him, Theo spotted a (Flaming Leopard) in the 4th Tier of the Apprentice Kingdom.
Theo: "Oh, it's the first time I meet an animal in the 4th Tier of the Apprentice Kingdom." He murmured in her mind.
But it didn't matter to Theo, all he wanted at that moment was to increase his [System Points]. So without wasting time, Theo activated his ability <Beast's Movement>, increasing his speed by 15%. Theo started running towards the (Flaming Leopard). When Theo got close to the (Flaming Leopard), it noticed Theo running toward him and he started running toward Theo as well.
Coming closer to each other, the (Flaming Leopard) tried to attack Theo, but Theo dodged. As Theo dodged, Theo advanced in the direction of (Flaming Leopard), raising his left paw, Theo began to channel his mana on it, converting it to [Lightning]. Lightning crackling sounds began to be generated from his paw, scaring the (Flaming Leopard). Theo didn't give him time to get away and with at a very fast speed, Theo charged in his direction. Theo's attack eventually hit the (Flaming Leopard)'s ribs, making him fly six feet away. However, even with that attack, the (Flaming Leopard) managed to get up soon after.
The (Flaming Leopard) was looking at Theo scared and confused, he did not expect Theo to be that strong. Theo was also very surprised because he wasn't as hurt as he expected. Then, after that, Theo decided to use [Darkness] to attack.
Channelling his mana and transforming it into [Darkness], Theo channels it to his right paw and started running toward the (Flaming Leopard), who was still looking at Theo in fear. Theo attacked the head of the (Flaming Leopard) with his right paw covered with [Darkness]. But the (Flaming Leopard) managed to dodge it with great difficulty and tried to bite Theo soon after dodging.
Theo did not expect that he would still be able to even attacking soon after, after taking a hit from him. He almost couldn't dodge. Theo quickly recovered and jumped to the left side of the (Flaming Leopard) and attacked him again with his right claw, still covered with [Darkness]. This time, Theo managed to hit the (Flaming Leopard)'s chest, the sound of breaking was heard coming from its chest and the (Flaming Leopard) was sent 10 meters away that time.
"Wahahahaha! My [System Points]!" Theo exclaimed in his mind, excited. Theo then approached the (Flaming Leopard), seeing that he was almost dead, he attacked his head. The moment his claw came in contact with the head of the (Flaming Leopard), the sound of breaking bones was produced, and (Flaming Leopard)'s head began to crack, it then stopped moving.
Theo then shortly after used <Devour> on the (Flaming Leopard) and exchanged for [System Points].
