Chapter 87: First Condition

87- First Condition

Putting these lewd thoughts behind, I asked

Then I dont understand what the problem is?

This time it was Bertha who replied,

Actually, the problem is your age which is not qualified for the 3 stage Yin_Yang interchange.

Because you are 16 years old, your Yang energy is still developing. And an average person needs to be at least 18 year old for his Yang energy to be fully developed. So, the first and second stages can be completed without any hindrance, but for the last stage you have to wait for 2 years, until you are 18 years old.

Hearing this, I was disappointed because I will have to wait for 2 years to get completely cured. Although Bertha told me that the first and second stages can be performed and that will get rid of the poison. Maybe by then, this 1 HP per minute problem and Resistance stat limit will be gone.

But unless the third stage is not completed, my cultivation will be stuck and my enemies will continue progressing, while I will have to wait.

Seeing my depressed face, Bertha told a surprising news

Hey, but let me tell you a good news. Although, without completing the third stage, the (Devils breathe) cannot be removed from you and it will hinder your cultivation but, Sheela has a certain serum that can alleviate the (Devils breathe) to a certain extent and according to my estimation, that should allow you to progress up to (Super Human Stage) or (Transmutation stage), but of course after arriving in Transformation realm, your cultivation will be slowed down.

And anyway, your cultivation is crippled and it will take certain time for you to cultivate back to your original realm. So, I guess two years will be enough for you right?

Hearing this, I nodded and I was happy.

Although I will have to wait for 2 years for the complete cure, but I can use this time to cultivate and even if my cultivation will slow down after stepping into Transformation, it's not like I have anything to lose. And in the first place, my previous cultivation level was only Peak of Evolver stage. So, I will have a sense of progress after I cross the Evolver stage. And also, I have the system, so during these 2 years, I can constantly level up by gaining exp and still my strength will increase.

Which means, I hardly have any time to waste.

So, suppressing this excitement, I asked,

So, when can we begin with the first stage?

Bertha replied,

If you want, we can begin right now.

Of course, let us begin then.

Hearing my answer, Bertha chuckled and said,

Ok then, first stage, I will introduce my poison in your body. After the poison is introduced, it will be a painless process but you might also experience some side effect so, bear with it.

So, now come closer to me and remove your upper body clothes.

I hesitated to for a moment because I remembered the pain that I experienced, when I consumed Purple dome mushroom and till now it makes me shudder but gritting my teeth, I decided to bear the pain. So, I quickly removed my T-shirt and got closer to Bertha.

Bertha, opened her mouth and her front teeth turned into sharp fangs. When I looked at it, I got goosebumps.

Seeing me tensed, Bertha chuckled and told me to relax.

Then her fangs dug into my neck (Just like how vampires bite) and I felt that she released some kind of a liquid, in my veins. That must be her poison.

ding

-1 HP

After that, she removed her fangs and her teeth reverted back to normal.

Just as I was about to ask if she was done or not,

I felt my body being paralyzed and I was losing control of my body. And simultaneously the system notification rang,

ding

WARNING - Host is poisoned

WARNING - Host is poisoned

WARNING - Host is poisoned

bang

My legs lost strength and I fell on the floor.

My vision was going blank and my other senses were becoming cloudy.

.

.

Hmm..

Hmm?

As I opened my eyes, I looked around and found myself in a small room.

As I tried to remember how I got here, and then realized that last time I was with Bertha and Sheela. And I lost consciousness.

Actually, one might doubt that when you are poisoned, how come you just lost consciousness instead of some pain. Just like the last time when I used the Purple dome mushroom, I should be suffering instead of simply losing consciousness.

But one must remember: that the more lethal a poison is, the faster a person dies. And some poisons can kill a human in sleep or torture him to death or nervous system gets damaged or blood get clogged or some other reason.

The Purple dome mushroom was lethal but I dont think it can be compared with Berthas. And she might have limited the amount of poison that has been introduced in my body. And her poison might have different properties and effects.

Just as I was lost in thoughts,

Oh, you woke up?

I looked in the direction from which the voice came and found that it was Bertha who spoke.

Bertha and Sheela walked into the room.

I asked them,

How long was I unconscious?

Umm.. Not much just 2-3 hours or something.

Replied Sheela.

I nodded then I asked,

Is the first stage completed?

No, I have to introduce my poison one more time in your body. And then we have to wait at least for a week for the completion of first stage and then we can begin with second stage.

Replied Bertha.

I nodded then, I asked,

So, when will you Poison me again?

Bertha chuckled and replied,

Tomorrow, now I would advise you to take some rest and let both the poison in your body fight.

Ok, then thank you for the help.

I thanked her, then I continued,

So, tell me whats your conditions because it has been constantly bugging me.

I smiled wryly but nevertheless I had only two options.

First, I agree to take the oath and promise them two conditions each.

Second, I dont agree and then start looking for a cure on my own and there is probability that I might not find it. And I would have wasted my 4 fours and then death.

.

Bertha and Sheela looked at each other. Then Bertha replied,

Actually, I have not decided anything, we just wanted to see if you would dare to accept or not. And seeing that you have taken the oath makes me appreciate your character. But sorry, I dont have anything on my mind currently. But I would advise you to grow stronger then maybe you could be helpful?

But yeah, Sheela over here has thought about her first condition.

Bertha and I, looked at Sheela.

Sheela replied with a smile,

Yes, my first condition is for you to marry Armelia.
