System Of Endless Cultivation

There is a reason why even failed pills could still provide energy. It is because these pills retain the properties and energy of the original herbs. Although these pills are considered failures, the energy within them may be tainted but can never be erased.

Now that Eryx had converted all the failed pills into energy points, he turned his focus to the meal in front of him and began eating heartily.

By the time Eryx finished his meal and cleared the plate completely, Lin Ning'er had still not returned.

With no other choice, Eryx decided to wait for her. Having nothing to do, he gazed out of the window. The pedestrians outside were busy with their own activities. The market stalls were bustling with customers, offering all sorts of goods. A variety of people were coming and going, creating a lively and colorful scene.

Among the crowd, a pair of individuals caught Eryx's attention. Their attire was completely unlike anything from this world. In fact, it didn't seem like clothing at all. What they wore was advanced armor, seemingly crafted with a high level of technology. Eryx could see energy flowing within the armor, causing it to glow intermittently.

Are they from another world?

Where have they come from?

Could they be from a technological world?" 

Several questions suddenly filled Eryx's mind. He also noticed that these two people were drawing attention from those around them. However, instead of curiosity or admiration, the surrounding people appeared to dislike them. Some even glared at them with disdain.

The crowd's reaction puzzled Eryx greatly. Why would they harbor such feelings toward these two people? Could it be that these two have done something bad?

Eryx's questions were answered very soon.

After all, Eryx wasn't the only one sitting by the window. There were two large windows on one side of the wall upstairs, and two tables occupied the space near them. At the table by the second window, four people were eating and laughing together. When they noticed the two armored individuals walking through the street, their laughter stopped, and they immediately started talking in low voices.

Eryx could overhear their conversation.

"Why have these people come here again?"

"They come from the Thunder Star World. Every time there's an opportunity, they show up and try to steal it."

"Yeah, they always come when something valuable appears. It's like they have a nose for it."

"This time, they might have come because of the broken map of Medicine Valley. After all, Medicine Valley used to be a powerful force. Even the Royal Family dared not mess with them ever."

"Medicine Valley just disappeared one day, without any warning. Now, suddenly, news of a broken map surfaces, and these people from the Thunder Star World appear. It's no coincidence."

They continued to talk in low voices, clearly unhappy and suspicious about the presence of the two armored people from the Thunder Star World. They believed these people were here to steal the opportunity for themselves.

Eryx, on the other hand, noted a piece of key information.

Thunder Star World!

This was a different world, obviously on the other side of a portal from countless portals in the sky.

Eryx heard of a different world for the first time since arriving in the Infinite Land Star. Immediately, he gave his entire attention to those two people and started observing them with interest.

The two individuals in armor appeared unfazed by the crowd's reaction. They acted as though they didn't notice the stares and continued walking without any change in behavior.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, they stopped and looked up. Their gaze shifted toward the restaurant, where Eryx was quietly watching them.

Eryx was surprised, not expecting them to suddenly look at him. Still, he didn't avoid their gazes.

Due to his Elemental Spirit Body, he could sense the elements of wind and lightning in their bodies. Moreover, he was sure these two people were almost similar to Lin Ning'er in terms of strength. In other words, they were Core Formation Realm warriors.

Now that he had already built his foundation, Eryx himself was not far from the Core Formation Realm. He believed the more than a thousand High-level Energy Points in his account should be enough to form a regular core and enter the Core Formation Realm.

On the other hand, the two armored individuals suddenly turned and walked to the restaurant. They entered and came upstairs, walking towards Eryx directly.

Eryx was curious, wanting to know why they came to him, but he didn't ask. He waited for them to speak first.

One of them, a sixteen-year-old boy, observed Eryx closely for a few seconds before introducing, "I am Leon from the Thunder Star World. This is my companion, Mira."

Mira, a girl around the same age, stood silently next to Leon. Her bright eyes were scanning the surroundings seriously. When she was introduced, she nodded at Eryx.

"I'm Eryx, Eryx Xylaris!"

Eryx also introduced his name, still puzzled as to what these people wanted from him.

"A Xylaris?"

When they heard Eryx's name, their expression suddenly shifted.

Eryx was startled to see their astonished expression. He was already confused, and now he felt even more uncertain.

'Why are they reacting like this?' Eryx thought to himself. He hadn't expected such a strong reaction just from saying his name.

Leon exchanged a quick glance with Mira. Their expressions were no longer as relaxed as before. Leon then asked cautiously, "Did you just say... Xylaris?"

Eryx nodded, unsure why his name would cause such a reaction. "Yes, that's my name. Is there something wrong with it?"

The two of them exchanged glances once more and nodded at each other. Their expressions shifted again, and they suddenly relaxed. Then Mira spoke in a hushed tone. "We felt drawn to you inexplicably. It was as though there was something extraordinary about you, something that compelled us, urged us to drink your blood. We had no choice but to seek you out. We never expected you to be a Xylaris."

Eryx was stunned. He hadn't anticipated that there was something about him that would attract these individuals. Moreover, their instincts had driven them to crave his blood. The mere thought of it filled him with dread and horror.

Nevertheless, he struggled to maintain his composure and asked, "Why? Why do you feel the urge to drink my blood? And what is it about my name that shocked you so much earlier?"

Leon and Mira looked nervous. They looked around, only to see all the people on this floor to be watching them. They all had disgusted expressions on their faces. Obviously, none of these people wanted the two of them to be here.

They could not help but sigh.

Leon, on the other hand, explained, "I don't know why we were attracted to you or wanted to drink your blood. But there is definitely something extraordinary about your blood, so be careful. As for your name... If I have to say, then I would say that we have heard of "Xylaris" before, but Xylaris are rare, almost like a legend in our world."

Eryx raised an eyebrow. "A legend? What do you mean?"

Leon hesitated for a moment. Then he leaned forward, lowered his voice as if he was about to reveal a secret, and said, "In my world, legend says that thousands of years ago, two powerful individuals fought a great battle, which later resulted in the shattering of the sky. That shattering brought chaos everywhere in my world, with huge monsters and beasts descending. One of the two individuals who fought that battle was a "Xylaris". As for the other one, he was a "Lunara". No one knows who won that battle, but after the fight was over, the two of them disappeared completely, leaving our world in disarray and chaos."

Eryx raised his brows in shock. Leon's words refreshed a memory in Eryx's mind.

Earth's sky also shattered all of a sudden. But unlike the Thunder Star World, no expert was seen fighting a terrifying battle. Everything was calm and peaceful when the sky broke out of nowhere.

There is no doubt this universe is huge, almost endless, and there are countless people with similar surnames.

Eryx refused to believe he had any relation with the person Leon talked about. Not to mention, that person was from thousands of years ago.

What he was more concerned about was the fact that his blood attracted these people's attention. They wanted to drink his blood.

Fortunately, their craving was not so strong, otherwise, they would have attacked him instead of talking peacefully over this matter.

He also wanted to know why his blood only attracted these two people's attention, not others.

He wanted to say something, however, before he could open his mouth, a familiar voice sounded, "Eryx, let's go. Our work is done... Eh, why are you with these jerks?"

It was Lin Ning'er.

She arrived with a smile, but her smile vanished in thin air the moment she saw Leon and Mira. Recalling the state in which she found Eryx, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

Could it be that Eryx was not a native of this world but came from other worlds? He was only dressed like this world's people because he had a motive!
