[Hosts energy points have received severe damage from the toxin, host won't be able to cultivate for 12 days and 11 hours 59 minutes]

As Lirian read the alert, he knew that his resistance was starting to counter the toxin, with time he would become immune to the toxin if he let it heal naturally.

But he had his Flames of Nirvana which could rapidly heal his condition, the only problem was the insane amount of energy the Flames of Nirvana required to work.

He started the healing process again and within an hour he was fully healed again, Lirian immediately got back to it.

This time he managed to cultivate for 15 minutes before he had to stop, and when he read the message again the time shortened once more.

[Hosts energy points have received severe damage from the toxin, host won't be able to cultivate for 10 days and 11 hours 59 minutes]

Lirian breathed out in relief, as he saw the trending pattern, his recovery speed was increasing at an exponential rate, at his next recovery would take 6 and a half days and after that, he would likely gain immunity to the toxin.

But that's when he noticed something else, his energy was dipping extremely low once again, he didn't have enough energy to perform another rapid recovery.

Lirian cleaned up the entire city and all it afforded him was a little over 60 000 energy, it wasn't something that he would be able to repeat again.

And it would be useless to burn things that weren't flammable, that would just cost him more energy and he wouldn't get as much in return.

Lirian could always start burning down the homes of the people, but he didn't want to do that, it wasn't that he didn't to but rather that it would cause his fate particles to plummet, he'd be reduced to having just the basic 1000 fate particles, that all novices had.

Also, there was a slight fear in his mind, a fear that he didn't want to admit, but one that he'd been holding ever since his slaughter in Willcolly, Edith's voice kept drumming into his mind every single time he killed an innocent, and he didn't want to experience that weakness in his body again.

'I can leave the city and start burning down the forests,' Lirian thought, it was a feasible idea, but it had one drawback, it would give away his position in an instant.

Lirian thought about it and decided to go with that plan, he'd fly a good distance away from the city and start burning up the forests.

But he was going to do it after the meet up with Izlandi, he didn't know how long it would take him to restore his energy, so he decided to meet her before leaving.

Lirian stashed the sack of ingredients in the abandoned alley, as well as the chest of coins that he 'borrowed' from Izlandi.

Lirian only took a few coins from the chest before setting off, before he entered the streets he cast a simple illusion spell on his hair to change it to a light shade of brown.

House Kurt was most likely looking for him, and his hair really stuck out way too much, it was like a glowing beacon that would draw everyone's attention to him even if they weren't looking for him.

As he roamed the busy streets and found that everyone was spiritedly discussing the miraculous clean up of the city, he almost choked when he heard someone mention that the merchant guild branch was prepared to sell all their assets to House Kurt in exchange for the cleaning secret.

'So everyone thinks that House Kurt is responsible for the great clean up of the city,' Lirian laughed, 'I wonder if I could sell the secret?' Lirian laughed in jest.

Even if he told the merchant guild how it's done, it was impossible for anyone to replicate the effect of the [Voids Corrosion], the ability broke down everything it touched into void energy, whatever was left over after the corrosion was left in its purest state.

As he roamed through the streets he heard another conversation that caught his interest, Lirian slowed down and followed behind a group of three men who were discussing the strange actions of House Kurt.

"Don't you think that something strange is going on in the keep?" the man to the right was saying to his friends.

"Danny you always think that something strange is happening in the keep?" the man in the centre replied with a sigh of exasperation, and the man on the left chuckled softly as he nodded in agreement with the man in the centre's answer.

"Well I'm right about it this time," Danny said proudly.

"Come on just think about it, first there was a mass poisoning that kill 60 of the revered novices," Danny said with a trace of grievance at the loss.

"Then the Lords son was assassinated, and then yesterday, everyone heard that loud rumbling sound coming from the keep, and you know that it was real because the entire city experience tremors afterwards,"

"But the announcers didn't inform anyone about the cause of the tremors, I hear that even the minor nobles don't know what's going on,"

"Since then no one has been in or out of the keep, but for some reason, they went out of their way to clean up the entire city during the night without informing anyone," Danny shook his head.

"I'm telling you, something strange is going on in that keep and it's not anything good, I have a feeling in my gut," Danny whispered and cast a wary gaze at the keep.

Lirian heard all he needed to hear and trailed away as the man named Danny continued to try to convince his friends about his gut feeling.

'No one has been allowed in or out of the keep since the battle,' Lirian realised after hearing the man speak.

'We'll just have to see if that changes by tomorrow,' Lirian thought and continued to move through the streets.

The smell of food from the vendors on the street corners reach Lirian's nose and his stomach started to rumble incessantly, with his evolution he no longer required food to survive, but his body still reacted to the smell.

His stomach rumbled loudly, it had been almost a week since he ate any food, and at least a month since he had anything decent.

As the smell of the food entered his nose, Lirian found himself missing the morning banquets that he had grown used to enjoying every morning.

Lirian sighed as he looked into the sky with his [Gods Gaze], he could see the glowing balls of energy called suns in the distance despite the fact that it was early in the morning.

Yet as he looked at them, he couldn't help but feel slightly lost, his home was somewhere in that mix, yet he had no idea where exactly it was.

He pressed a finger against the ring on his neck, to remind himself that all it would take was a thought and he would be able to return.

Lirian pushed down the melancholic memories and walked over to one of the food vendors, "A dozen meat buns,' he said and pulled out a couple of coppers.

He had heard the woman shout 'A dozen meat buns of 5 coppers'

The lady managing the cart looked at Lirian with a smile, "No need for you to pay dear, it's on the house," she answered warmly and wrapped a dozen meat buns for Lirian.

Lirian was taken aback, but it took him a second to realise that it was his charm, his new enhanced charm, despite being suppressed was strong enough to affect the minds of ordinary mortals, without Lirian giving it any thought.

Lirian accepted the food without complaint and walked away, as the woman continued to watch his back with a warm gaze.

The woman couldn't understand why she gave away so much food for free but for some reason, she felt like it was the right thing to do.
