In an instant, in the blink of an eye, a whole, uneventful night passed by.
Sizzle~
Within the center of the recovering, bland cemetery, where countless epitaphs, crevices, and tombs could be seen recovering at a visible speed—slowly returning to their previous state.
A pale silhouette, sitting cross-legged in a barren land, could be seen absorbing the Qi present within the dilapidated atmosphere, creating a mini vortex of darkness around it while dark mist, carrying unprecedented coldness, was discernible entering through the silhouette's nostrils...
Coursing through the being's pale physique before resting on its illusionary core.
Huff~
"He really didn't leave."
Soon, after operating his cultivation technique for a while, Leo breathed out the foul qi through his mouth, expelling the impurities present within the Qi that he had just absorbed before staring irritably at the silhouette of Mad Saber in the far distance—unable to concentrate on what he was doing since he needed to put some attention to the latter.
Fortunately, after their duel yesterday, the man, although he didn't leave the bland cemetery, still hasn't shown any signs of problem. Instead, after their duel, the man immediately headed to the clearing in the far distance before swinging and striking the air endlessly using his wooden saber.
Never slowing down or halting, giving Leo the impression that the other party wasn't in the right mind.
However, it could be said that, although Mad Saber's movements look simple and extreme, seemingly lacking majesty compared to the novel he had read in the past, the feeling of sharpness they were emitting tells him how dangerous those simple moves are...
As if they could cut a core formation realm beast in half with a single slice.
"I'm still weak. I need to get a legendary skill as soon as possible!"
Shifting his gaze from the madman to the specific feature within the system, which was still in the process of cooling down, Leo couldn't help but show deep anticipation in his eyes, already thinking about the epic skills he would sacrifice just to get a chance to gain a legendary skill.
Currently, Leo only has 6 epic skills under his panel; if he sacrifices 2 of the less-used epic skills he has, then he might gain his first legendary skill!
However, if the attempt fails, then his strength will surely suffer a decline.
...
"I could try fusing the "Intangible Body (Epic)" and "Necromancy (Epic)" skills since I don't really utilize them too much," Leo lightly thought.
Although Necromancy was the first epic skill he learned, a skill that gave birth to the two little skeletons. Leo didn't dare to use the skill again after the unexpected betrayal and corruption of Skeleton #1.
Even though the fault originated from the skeleton's mutation, he still wanted to avoid similar problems from arising.
As for the Intangible Body skill, Leo finds its effects overlap with his current innate ability as a demon of shadows... No, to be exact, it was even worse than his innate ability, making it useless to the current him.

"I should think of it deeply. I still have two days to decide."
Removing the unnecessary thoughts within his mind, Leo then took out an ancient book from his inventory—revealing a contemplative look in his eyes as he stared at the book's wooden cover in silence.
Sensing the faint rule coursing through its thick cover, Leo couldn't help but caress their rough surface with care... Making his illusionary heart skip a bit as a faint understanding of nature naturally resurfaces within his mind, causing his rule of life nature to fluctuate slightly as it increases by an insignificant amount.
"Balance was one of the necessary factors of nature. Without it, destruction will likely descend, bringing agony not only to land and heaven but to countless life forms within...
"Plants, animals, even the sun and moon, form a perfect cycle—creating a perfect equilibrium. Missing one might not be fatal, but it will leave a scar on life forms present within."
Leo mumbled in comprehension before starting to study the contents of the book, swiftly absorbing their knowledge like a dry sponge, causing his understanding of plants to increase at a drastic speed.
Although farming was simply for the sake of convenience, ensuring a stable supply of materials for his practice of potion making. Leo, after tending countless plants for a couple of months, already became fond of them.
Not only could they help him temper his character and patience but also allowed him to increase his understanding of life.
Despite the fact that the increase in understanding was negligible, to the point that he might only understand 1% of the rule in a couple of months, it was still better than nothing. At worst, it would only waste a little bit of his time.
"Unfortunately, If only the enlightenment stone wasn't limited, then I might have already understood a certain rule of life."
Thinking of the enlightenment stones within his inventory, Leo couldn't help but release a faint sigh of helplessness, feeling that earning enlightenment stones from the system was becoming more and more challenging as time passed by.
Sigh-
"It's not that I didn't want to utilize them; it's just that it was better to deepen my understanding of the rules I had already comprehended rather than learning a new one.
"However, after I completely comprehend a certain rule, I might waste some enlightenment stones to understand a life-related rule."
Huff~
Shaking his head, removing the distractions within his mind. Leo then focused his attention on the contents of the books, resisting the strong urge to take out an enlightenment stone within his inventory as he read them in silence.
It could be said that, other than the general knowledge about the plants—explaining in depth how to take care of countless plants of different levels at a profound degree—the book also contained basic knowledge regarding watering, harvesting, pruning, and weeding.
Opening Leo's mind to things that he hadn't considered in the past.
"How ignorant of me. I just realized that I was wasting hundreds of thousands of horror points in the past for nothing.
"Even if the abomination didn't destroy my plantation, all of the plants within will eventually die due to the incompatibility of the environment."
Gazing at the unnoticeably decaying spiritual plants in the distance, which were supposed to be in an environment rich in life qi or nature qi instead of being here in the bland cemetery filled with death and decaying qi, Leo's expression couldn't help but turn gloomy...
Feeling that he was similar to those uneducated people who acted like they knew anything yet, in fact, actually didn't know a single thing, making him feel embarrassed.
"Fortunately, I managed to get this book, or else I might continue wasting horror points.
