It had been a couple months and Haru had a new regiment. After doing his workout routine which involved lifting the heaviest trash he could and then doing his basic body exercises. He would often bicep curl tattered suitcases he filled with more trash. Trying to push his body constantly past its limits like he always had. His 100 push ups, 100 sit ups and 100 squats were easy now and he had moved to going to 1000. He had nothing else to do so even if it took him a while that was no problem. He could take the whole day and it would still be fine by him.

He would also use the Equilibrium of Six technique for hours. His body was completely purified but now he was using it to cultivate. He hadn't gained another cultivation technique and he knew from manhwa that is he tried to change things or deviate the flow to test new methods he could complete mess up his insides. He has Senzu Beans but didn't know if this was something it could heal. It hadn't healed his scars after all and the way manhwa pictured incorrect or counter flow was always brutal.

So even though it was only it was only as effective as a tenth of regular cultivation speeds he sat there. Haru had trash around him as he felt the trash around him slowly turned into nothing as he cultivated. The trash falling apart around him as he absorbed the natural energy protecting them.

Then it stopped. Haru had stopped his slow cultivation.

Haru: That should be another 24 hours. Hopefully today's a good day. Though time in here isn't really a thing.

Haru stood up as he used his Gacha ability. The machine appeared in front of him. He had previously tried to open the machine to see how it worked. But he couldn't. The machine had screws but it seemed impossible to loosen them even a little bit. Haru had threw a trash full suitcase at it but it didn't budge or move. Haru didn't know how it worked and decided not to question it. Right now pulling down the red handle as he stared expectantly. Even after receiving so many trash and F grade items he was still hopeful every time he span it.

And as the slots began to slow as they created a cracking sound, they had come to a stop. Golden translucent screens appearing in front of him. Haru smiled another sharp smile.

[F Grade- Bag of 18 Senzu Beans.]
[F Grade- Guru Guru No Mi Devil Fruit.]
[Trash Grade- Broken Crappy Bed.]
[Trash Grade- Stale Water.]
[E Grade- Technique: Magic Warrior King Arts.]

Knowledge quickly rushed into Harus head again. His mind flooded with the technique and method of practice. It was like an intense sudden migraine flooded through his mind and just as quickly as it came it left. Leaving absolute knowledge of the technique just like the last. Haru looked at the rest of the items as he thought.

Haru: {Hmmmm. It's been a while since I've watched one piece. Is this a good devil fruit? But if it isn't it could be detrimental and take away my ability to swim. Not that there's any water to swim in. But I don't want a bad devil fruit. If I plant a devil fruit would a normal apple tree grow? Well only one way to find out.}

Haru created a circle of trash as he moved some dirt with his hands. Burying a spiral and black apple into the ground. Covering it with dirt again and pouring the stale water on it. Making sure that apple tree would grow nicely.

Haru: Well... I hope that works. Now to the Magic Warrior King Arts. I don't actually remember where this is from. Though the information was a magic martial arts to fight against Demigods? Someone called Kasajin made it?

Haru was thinking. Unlike the Equilibrium of Six technique the Magic Warrior King Arts had substantially more information. However, most importantly it was based on magic, which Haru believed to be slightly dangerous when he had formed a dantian. From what he remembered magic needed circles around ones heart.

But as he delved deeper into the knowledge that entered his head he realised. This "magic" art, it was no different from a martial technique using mana to reinforce and enhance physical power and the physique. The energy used was made to directly train the body. It was cultivating while preforming the techniques. Cultivation with movement. Increasing physical strength, body performance, energy quantity and mastery of the technique. For being E grade this was amazing. Which only made Haru think more of what S grade could be. If something like this was only two grades above trash. What could the top grade possibly be.

For the technique the mastery was also split into 5 classes. Apprentice, Third Class, Second Class, First Class and Magic Warrior King. A Magic Warrior King being able to destroy a mountain with a small movement. Not even having to throw a full punch, but barely flexing their fist. Firing strong energy and shockwaves enough to rip apart large mountains with minimal effort.

But Haru had a thought. One that could be dangerous to his life.

Haru: If I could incorporate Equilibrium of Six with the Magic Warrior King Arts then I could also further purify the energy I absorb while also having faster absorption speed and improve my body. However, while I have a perfect understanding of both with their knowledge in my head. I would need to have a perfect physical and mental mastery of the Equilibrium of Six, able to use to while moving. Which of the knowledge in my head has never been done before. But as long as I'm carful I should be ok.

What Haru was thinking could completely destroy his internal organs and rip him apart from the inside. But he was confident in his abilities. Hopefully able to fall back on the Senzu Beans if anything wrong happened.

After placing the broken bed in his house, which was a very weak bed frame with broken legs, a very thin worn out mattress and surprisingly comfortable pillows and a blanket.

Haru had decided to go back to his regular routine. If he kept on thinking he would never get anywhere. Going back to his Equilibrium of Six meditation. Sat away from the planted devil fruit so he didn't accidentally absorb it. Still with trash around him as it turned into nothingness.
