When he saw the amount of points he had left, Ren Qingquan quickly screamed. 'System, my points are missing!!!"
[During the previous fight, system activated your Automatic Spirit Qi Refill Function. Which consumed some of your points to recover your spirit qi]
'Why didn't you tell me! *Sob* my hard earned money is gone!!'
Actually I wanna say those points either come from tricking the Heavenly Will or Ren Qingchen's hard work. But as a good system, I keep it to myself upon detecting Ren Qingquan's currently unstable emotions.
While Ren Qingquan and I are busy arguing. The boy whose grandma in the necklace I devoured finally woke up.
As I already placed a part of my attention on the boy, I immediately told Ren Qingquan about the news.
[Host, the kid you granted with a subsystem already woke up]
Ren Qingquan quickly activated the observation mode and both of us observed that boy from far away.
***
At this time the boy still looked half awake as some tears fell from his eyes. But once he saw the scene of destruction around him, the boy's drowsy look quickly changed.
"What? What is going on?!" While talking to himself in confusion, the boy looked all over his body to check on his condition. Seeing it is only bruised from the beating he received from those kids previously, the boy sighed in relief.
Then both of us saw the boy groping around inside his pant's crotch area before pulling a small pouch containing several spirit spirit stones. "Phew, luckily those guys didn't check my pants. Otherwise my hard earned savings would be gone."
After returning the pouch inside his pants, the boy looked a bit thoughtful before quickly searching around his neck. "Where is my necklace?!"
While the boy searched around for his necklace, I heard Ren Qingquan think this is the right moment to activate the subsystem attached to that boy.
'By the way, System. Do you know why those kids before said he can't cultivate?'
[System thinks the spirit energy that boy cultivated is absorbed by the Tribulation Transcender woman inside his necklace. Which makes him unable to collect any spirit qi and in turn make his cultivation regress.]
'As expected.' After hearing my answer, Ren Qingquan quickly typed something and sent it to the boy's subsystem.
[Ding! System initiating!]
"Eh?" Most likely confused from seeing a light screen appearing in front of him, the boy just stared blankly and stopped searching around.
[Congratulations for activating the Super Duper Ultra Powerful Leveling System!
The Super Duper Ultra Powerful Leveling System exists to help the host in leveling their cultivation stage. The host may ask System for more information.]
"Huh?" With his mouth open from confusion, the boy asked. "Then senior system, do you know where my mother's necklace went?"
[The necklace is the System's physical form. After collecting sufficient energy from the host, the Super Duper Ultra Powerful Leveling System has imbued itself on the host's soul.]
When I saw what Ren Qingquan typed, I feel his ability to talk nonsense has greatly increased.
Once the boy reads it, he is slightly agitated."Does that mean you are the reason I can't cultivate and everyone starts calling me trash?!"
Hearing that question, Ren Qingquan quickly typed.
[Insufficient authority level, please ask another question.]
Damn, that is a good answer. I will start using that in the future.
Both the boy and Ren Qingquan started a three minute long question and answer session before the boy finally ran out of questions. With this, I saw Ren Qingquan type another message.
[Please input your username]
Still not getting used to typing, it took the boy one whole minute to input his name.
[Name: Su Ping
Realm: Qi Refining 0/1
Absorbed Spirit Qi: 0/1
Point: 0
Profession: ?
Cultivation Method: ?
Magical Technique: ?
System Function: Status, Map, Shop (locked)]
After everything was finished, both of us saw Su Ping wearing a thoughtful look before his expression turned into one of determination.
Quickly leaving the scene of destruction, he passed through several streets and ran toward a certain direction before finally arriving at an armor shop that hadn't closed yet.
Spending several silver he kept in his pocket, he bought a bag, a drinking pouch, a dagger, and a leather armor that is slightly too big for his body .
Next, both of us saw him running toward another direction and arrived at an inn with a tavern on the first floor.
With his hand, Su Ping pushed the door open and walked in confidently inside while observing the tavern's guests.
He seems to have done his research as he immediately walked towards one of the drunk men and asked, "I want to join your caravan and reach Crimson Claw Immortal City."
When the drunk man heard his word, he waved his hand in shoo-ing motion. "Go away, kid. We don't accept burden on our travel. Traveling to an immortal city is already hard enough as it is."
Placing his hand into one of his pockets, Su Ping pulled five spirit stones that he had separated from the pouch in his crotch. He then secretly placed all five spirit stones inside the man's hand.
Both of us then saw the drunk man stare at Su Ping with deep eyes while fluidly placing the five spirit stones on his pocket. With those spirit stones kept safely inside his pocket, the man's attitude flipped 180 degrees."Rest up, we will go before the sun rises tomorrow. If you haven't woken up by then, we will leave you out. Also, there is no refund if you are indeed late!"
Nodding his head, Su Ping walked to a reception table and purchased a night's stay on the tavern's normal room. Walking toward the third floor, he entered one of the rooms and fell asleep inside after locking the door.
With Su Ping falling asleep, I can sense Ren Qingquan getting bored and exited the observation mode.
Flying several kilometers further from the city, he stopped and descended.
'Lets sleep too.' Ren Qingquan opened [Storage] then pulled his trusted 2x2x2 metal shelter before placing it on the ground. He then entered it and went to sleep. 'System, wake me up when Su Ping starts to travel.'
[Alright.]
**
The next day.
An hour before the sun rose, I saw Su Ping already woke up as he immediately walked toward the inn's backyard and pulled some water from the well.
Washing his face with the water from that well, his initially sleepy look finally refreshed. Su Ping then went towards a corner of the inn's backyard and started cultivating.
When I compare the super diligent Su Ping and Ren Qingquan who is currently sleeping like a log, I feel the urge to blast him up.
Soon, some sound can be heard. From [Scan], I sensed the drunk man from yesterday approaching Su Ping. Sensing the approaching man, Su Ping also woke up from his meditation with an excited face.
It seems he found out that he can finally cultivate once more.
"What a diligent kid, you are already cultivating at such a time?" When he heard the praise coming from that not-drunk-anymore man, Su Ping nodded.
I seriously need to give that man a new nickname.
Just in time, a woman's voice can be heard. "Captain, the carriages are ready! Have you refilled our water?"
"Soon! Soon!" The not-drunk-anymore man or the captain replied while shouting.
He then pulled several drinking pouches made out of animal leather and filled them with water from the inn's well. After filling every single one of them, the captain called out to Su Ping "Let's go, we are leaving."
Su Ping woke up from his meditation and filled his own drinking pouch and followed the captain toward the inn's stable.
There, four other people consisting of two females and two males are waiting, every single one of them is at the limit of Qi Refining stage. Next to them, there are three horses and a huge carriage pulled by two horses. Inside that carriage, I sensed several items containing a considerable amount of energy.
When they saw Su Ping following the captain, some of them frowned. Seeing his teammates' distaste, the captain made some hand gestures while moving his mouth to say 'He paid.'
Realization struck them as their initially frowning face turned into a kind one.
I am utterly amazed by the power of money. Even in another world, money still makes the world turn.
"Alright then everyone, hop on your horse. Li Mei, let the boy sit next to you at the driver's seat. Old Hu and Kuan Gong can sit together."
After giving his command, the captain also hopped on his horse.
I saw Su Ping also followed suit and jumped into the carriage's seat. Next to him, a middle aged woman is pulling the horse's reins.
When she saw Su Ping staring at her, the woman smiled kindly. "Hello there, you may call me Li Mei. May I ask what your name is?"
"My name is Su Ping."
When she heard his answer, I swear I saw Li Mei's eyes shone before asking another question. "Oh, are you someone from the Su family? The richest family in this city?"
the captain who overheard their conversation shouted toward the carriage angrily. "Li Mei, stop being nosy! We are professionals, we only do our job and get paid."
After she was berated by the captain, Li Mei turned silent while mumbling. " *Tsk*, don't destroy my chance of being the wife of a rich guy, old man."
What the hell, did I just see a gold digger in cultivation world?!
With this, the caravan silently walked through the city's road that had just started to get lively. Soon, they arrived at one of the city gates.
Under the city gate, I saw another caravan waiting to leave the city. After being inspected by the several guards, that caravan quickly left the gate.
Su Ping's group went forward and the guards swiftly inspected their caravan before allowing them to leave the city.
As they already left the city, I decided to wake Ren Qingquan up.
Spending a point, I directly created several lightning into Ren Qingquan's body.
"Argh!" With a buzzing sound, he quickly woke up with a shock and screamed while angrily shouting at me, 'System, can't you wake me up more gently? I almost got a heart attack just now!'
[Ding! If host want System to wake you up gently, then host must be more specific with your requirement.]
Ren Qingquan silently rolled his eyes upon reading my answer.
After arguing with me, he exited his metal shelter and stored it inside [Storage] before asking me to activate observation mode to watch Su Ping.
When Ren Qingquan opened his observation mode, what greeted him was the sight of Li Mei doing a sexy pose while controlling the carriage. One moment she will cross one of her arms under her blossom, while the next moment she will slightly lean toward Su Ping.
Next to her, Su Ping just looked forward with an expressionless face.
Ren Qingquan who was shocked internally screamed. 'FBI, a suspicious aunty is doing bad things to a young boy!'
