Chapter 6: Divine Encounter
When James woke up he was in a terrible state, when he took a look at his health it was actually at 15/150. He was incredibly close to death.
[Ding. Host is currently afflicted with bleeding, loses 1 health every 5 minutes]
This was bad, if James doesn't find a way to heal himself in the next 75 minutes he is not going to survive. James tried to move with all of his might but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't move a muscle. All of his bones were broken he was incapable of moving. At this point James felt despair, there was nothing he could do. Just as James thought that he was at the point of no return he saw a blue screen flash in front of him.
[Quest Completed
Quest - Survival
Congratulations
500 spiritual qi and 25 points have been distributed as the reward
Use the points wisely]
At this point he felt a extremely comfortable feeling rise from right below his heart and move around his body. He was advancing to the second stage of the body tempering realm. As the spiritual qi passed through his body it seemed to heal at an incredibly rapid rate, and everything that was healed had come back stronger than it was before.
Finally after an unknown amount of time the spiritual qi in James's body finally calmed down. Afterwards James felt incredible strength flow in his body. He has never been able to feel as strong and health as he was currently. When he took a peek at the system he realized that he had been fully healed. His health attribute was back at 150/150, it was a miracle.
James decided that he would go through his attributes real quick to see what happened since he broke through to the second rank of the body tempering realm.

'Incredible' Exclaimed James
It was amazing, when he looked at his attributes they were double what they were when he was a mortal. Everything had increased by at least five except for Wisdom. It seemed that to increase wisdom he had to do more than just increase his cultivation realm. James had some guess's on how to increase wisdom but he wasn't sure. One of his guess's was that he had to gain experience and read books to learn more. The only other way that he could guess was that it increased with age.
James decided that he would keep the five stat points that he had so that he could use them when he felt it was necessary. Like if he hadn't had those five stat points he would have been roasted right now. Just thinking about it made a somehow hot chill go through his body.
All of this talk of cultivation made James think. How do you actually increase your spiritual qi?
'Hey Winter how would i go about increasing the spiritual qi in my body.' Asked James.
[Currently there are two ways to increase your spiritual qi. The first way would to be complete missions that come your way. Missions will be issued when the host is in a dire situation or if there is something that the system thinks the host should do. The second way that you could increase your spiritual qi would be to obtain a cultivation manual and absorb the spiritual qi in the air. Although in this case it would be difficult to find a cultivation manual until you can go into the human cities or if you can manage to obtain one from the gacha function since even the least expensive cultivation manual is at least 1000 points in the shop.]
James didn't expect such a in depth explanation so he was a little shocked. He had known what a cultivation manual was from some of the games that he had played but now he was curious as to what the effects would be when he used one in real life.
'Its about time i figure out where i am' thought James
When James looked around he saw the pieces of the log all around him scattered around. After all if he could barely survive that how could the log possibly survive such a fall.
James looked around and saw that he was still close to the cliff where he fell off. When he looked up he couldn't see the top of the cliff making him wonder how he could have possibly survived such a fall.
When he looked behind him all he could see was a dense forest that goes on for who knows how long.
For now James decided it would be best if he just walked along the cliff side.
"Grrrrrrgllllleee" All of the sudden James could hear a very loud noise coming from his stomach and he remembered he hadn't eaten anything since he got here.
After James thought for a second he realized he didn't have any idea what a turtle eats. Is it an omnivore, herbivore, carnivore, he had no idea.
'Hey Winter what do wood turtles eat in the first place.' Asked James
[From the information i collected Wood turtles forage for food, both on land and in the water. They eat a variety of plant and animal matter. They feed on ripe fruit, berries, and mushrooms, as well as fish, snails, slugs, insects, and tadpoles.]
James thought that at the current moment since he was only at the second rank of the body refining realm and he had absolutely no intention to eat raw meat, he would forage for plants.
As James looked around he saw that everything he looked at he had never seen before. He had no idea what was edible and what was poisonous.
'Winter is there any way for me to tell whats edible and what cant be eaten?' Asked James
[Host just needs to eat anything and he will be able to tell what id poisonous as you wont survive. You could also use the gacha function and hope that you can obtain the eyes of the inspector skill.]
When James heard this he could already tell what the eyes of the inspector skill did. It was a skill that would show him information on everything he would wish to see information about as long as it isn't say a cultivator that is a much higher level than himself.
James decided it was time to check out the gacha tab.

When James looked at the screen the first thing he saw was how it showed it had been an entire day since he last looked. When did night pass? James looked up and it was still day so how could a day have passed. But the. He realized.
'Winter how long was i passed out'
[Host was passed out for exactly 13 hours 32 minutes and 57 seconds. You had passed out for the entire night and when you awoke it was already the morning.]
When James hear this he was surprised, he was actually passed out for the entire night.
After James looked at the menu he clucked on the gacha tab, a nice and colorful screen popped up in front of him showing multiple options.
[Gacha -
Regular Roll - 5 points
Rare roll - 50 points
Epic Roll - 100 points
Legendary Roll - 1,000 Points
Mythic Roll - 100,000 Points]
James only had enough points to play the regular roll 6 times.
James clicked on the regular roll and a roulette machine appeared in front of him. It looked very fancy and appeared like it came strait out of a casino.
'Winter roll the roulette please'
Right when he said that the picture on the screen kept on spinning and spinning until it landed on some pill.
[Ding!
Congratulations on obtaining the rank one healing pill.
The item had been deposited in your inventory.]
James had five more chances and he needed to obtain the eyes of the inspector skill or he would go hungry tonight.
'Roll it again Winter'
The roulette machine popped up again and started spinning. Finally it landed on what seemed to be a top hat
[Ding!
Congratulations on obtaining the Top hat for turtles, item scales to fit.
The item had been deposited in your inventory.]
A top hat, did he really just get a top hat. Although James had to admit a top hat on a turtle would be awesome, right now that wasn't what he needed.
'Roll it again Winter.'
Once again the roulette machine started spinning until it landed on an eye ball. The eyeball seemed to contain endless wisdom and its iris was golden.
[Ding!
Congratulations on obtaining the eyes of the inspector skill.
The item had been deposited in your inventory.]
Right when James heard this he was overjoyed. He had no idea what the chances of him obtaining this skill were but he knew they were minuscule. James then went right to his inventory and instantly used the eyes of the inspector skill.
All of the sudden James felt immense pain coming from his right eye. It felt like something was taking a spoon and scooping his eye out trying to replace it with something else.
After five minute of agony the pain finally subsided and James could finally have a break.
When James opened his eyes there were blue screens popping up everywhere he turned showing information about various plants, rocks, and other things.
Finally James was able to find some various berries and fruits to eat and decided it was time to find shelter.
James felt his best bet was to follow the side of the cliff and see if be can find a cave to live in.
After following the side of the cliff for 30 minutes James finally found a cave that he could sleep in.
Right when James took a step into the cave he heard a voice resound in his mind.
'Oh hoh, what do we have here.' Said some mysterious voice.
Suddenly James felt som oppressive force wave pass through his body and it felt like it could learn everything thing about him no matter how hard he tried to resist
'So what are you doing here young turtle.' Resounded the mysterious voice
