Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

In a single leap, Ning managed to cross over 30 meters of distance. The moment he landed, he knocked the ground once more with both of his feet to immediately change direction. He made a sharp right turn, reaching another spot over 30 meters in distance.

He kept on doing that until he was nothing but a blur. He then immediately came upon a tree and pulled out his hand, his fingers bent a little to imitate a claw. With a single slash, he put a large gash in the tree in front of him.

He then took out his spear and pulled it back until the tip was right next to his face. With a single thrust, he let the spear hit the tree in front of him, turning the large tree trunk into smithereens.

PLOP PLOP PLOP

Fruits started falling from the top of the tree and the whole tree toppled over without support. He picked one of the fruits and used a small amount of water from his storage to wash it before eating it.

He walked back and reached his farm where there were a handful of people digging the ground and applying crops to it.

It had been 2 months since he gave the villagers the new techniques. Most of them had already learned it and were only waiting for a date to go attack the demon.

Ning, however, only just finished learning it.

'I should go with them to attack the snake after my next breakthrough,' he thought. In his eyes, they were more than strong enough to fight the snake. Also, they were all over the Qi Condensation 2nd realm.

He was only delaying the fight so that he could take part in it as well, and not feel like the coward he was last time.

'I have mostly given them all they need. They have learned all the different cultivation methods and techniques. They know how to read and write. They even know how to farm and cook different foods now.'

'I just need to teach them how to make salt-free water and I won't have to worry about them anymore,' he thought.

"System. Help me find a water purifying technique that these villagers can use to turn saltwater into normal water," Ning said.

Ning had already taught them how to filter the water using normal methods of stacking rocks, pebbles, and sands. But that only filtered the water from the dirt and debris. It did nothing to block the salt in the water. For that, he would need to teach them a normal cultivator's technique.

Ning had already asked for the system to make a book out of the technique he had learned, but the system responded with,

<Skills that cost energy cannot be taught to anyone other than hosts>

As such, he was now asking the system again for a different one, but he did not get the result he wanted.

<There are no such techniques in the system>

Ning was a little taken aback. 'This reminds me of the first time the shop was unlocked. Does the shop really not have anything? Or can I just not buy it right now?' he asked.

<The shop has no such techniques at any price point>

"Oh," he was truly surprised this time. This was the first time he asked the system for something to buy and it gave back 0 results. "What do I do then?" he asked.

<Since there are no such techniques in the system, The system suggests you make one>

'Make… techniques? I can make stuff?' he was quite surprised. He could understand making stuff for physical things, but a skill? That was a first for him.

<Yes. The shop originally has no skills. All the ones it has are ones made by the different hosts>

'Oh. So all the skills I have bought till now are ones made by the hosts before me?' he asked.

<Yes>

'Alright then. Let's start making a new technique. How do I do that?' he asked.

<You give exact instruction to the system to let it know about the skill you want to buy>

'Ok, then let's make a Seawater Salt remover skill that is usable with Qi,' he said.

<Confirmed>

<Do you want the skill to be an 'Insta Learn' skill or 'Read and learn' skill>

'Is one more advantageous than the other?' he asked.

<Insta Learn skills are directly taught to the person's brain>

<Read and Learn skills are usually in the form of words or illustrations that the person will have to learn on their own>

<Insta Learn skills are vastly more expensive and also a one-time learn skills. But, they are incredibly fast to teach and the person can learn it with a 100% guarantee.>

<Read and Learn skills are way cheaper and can be used multiple times. But, the person has to read the skill and learn it on their own, so there is no guarantee of them learning it>

"I need all of them to learn it if possible and leave it behind for their future generation, so it should be better if I make a book out of it. Use the Read and Learn version," he said.

<Confirmed>

<Do you want the Qi usage to be high or low?>

"Low? Wait, why do you ask? Does it change how expensive the skill is?" he asked.

<Yes. Low Qi usage skills are more expensive>

"Hmm…they should be on the 4th Qi condensation realm very soon. Hyesi is already reaching 3rd realm, so make the Qi usage to 10% of a 4th realm Qi Condensation cultivator's total Qi," he said.

<Confirmed>

<Maximum amount of Sea Water that can be desalinated with 10% Qi>

"The amount? Let's see. A bucket full should be okay, so 10 liters," Ning said.

<Confirmed>

<Do you want to buy this skill in information form or in written form?>

"Nah, I don't want to reiterate what they can easily read. Just write it in their own language," Ning said.

<Confirmed>

<Will you buy Book of "Sea Water Desalination Technique" for 88,000,000 Energy>

"That's quite expensive, but whatever. I got enough energy. Buy it"
