Chapter 92. Showing Off In The Morning Is A Nice Feeling
After entering the Pure Wave Sect's sect barrier, the sword under Ren Qingquan stopped and he jumped down.
He then flies away into the sect using his Evanescent Movement Technique. Soon, Ren Qingquan arrived at his own cave residence and quickly ran inside.
By the time he arrived near his cave residence, the sky outside had darkened and night almost arrived. Only a little bit of the sun's light is left to shine in the sky.
Inside his cave, Ren Qingquan opened his personal panel.

Upon seeing the amount of required points to reach the next level, Ren Qingquan immediately screamed. 'System!!! What is going on? Why is the amount of points I need to reach the next level increased by such a huge amount?'
Ren Qingquan then continued. 'From 150 strands to 2.500 strands is more than 15 times the increase! If calculated using points, it is equal to 5 million points! Are you sure you didn't input the wrong number?'
[Nope. System has calculated the amount of spirit qi host needed to reach the next cultivation realm based on the data available. The amount is indeed 2.500 strands of refined spirit qi.]
'Sigh, whatever.' Ren Qingquan gave up and stared at another section of the system panel. He then proceeded to ask another question. 'Then, system. Where are my points? Why have most of them gone missing?'
[Ding! Previously the host has used 400.000 points to upgrade 'Scan' and increase its range. Then the host has spent another 200.000 points to allow 'Scan' to change shape. Coupled with the cost of teleporting for close to a dozen times, and the points wasted to grant stones and your pursuer with 'Devour'. The amount of points left is around 150.000]
'Sigh, before those points could even get warm in my hand, Most of them have gone missing.' Ren Qingquan sighed once more and then decided to sleep. 'Today is too tiring.'
Once Ren Qingquan fell asleep, I went to check on the other people I anchored. For example Ren Qingchen, and those people who have entered the inheritance ground.
After being teleported, it's unknown where they went. But recently I saw all eight of them camping in the middle of a forest together.
Oh, I almost forgot.
[Ding!]
I sent a sound right into Rem Qingquan's mind while he tried to sleep, which made him wake up in shock.
While still half awake, he asked. 'What's wrong, system?'
[How do you wish to handle Young Master Gu? Do you wish to send him a subsystem screen and activate his system?]
Ren Qingquan waved his hand in annoyance. 'Yes. Just do whatever you want with him. I'll go back to sleep.'
Well, I've asked him. So if there is any problem with this, I'll throw the fault at him.
And so, I waited for a suitable time to send my system screen. I waited for a long time and Young Master Gu finally left the group. As he is the person with the strongest cultivation, Young Master Gu went to hunt for the group.
Right after he killed a boar shaped beast at the Qi Refining stage, I decided to send the screen.
[Ding! You've been bound to the Strongest Cultivator System. Please check the guide for more detail.]
[Soul detected. Do you wish to devour it for 5 points? Yes/No]
Young Master Gu froze for a moment and looked at it with a blank face. Then he followed the word on my screen and checked for the guide.
After reading the whole guide, Young Master Gu pressed on the word 'yes' and saw the amount of points written on his screen increased by 5.
Then he opened the store to purchase a random pill. Upon feeling an additional weight on his hand, Young Master Gu moved his hand and saw a pill placed in it. He then placed the pill and rubbed his chin with a thoughtful look.
Finally, he returned back to the camping ground with the corpse of the boar monster he just killed.
The reaction from Young Master Gu is pretty cold. But whatever.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Now then, with Ren Qingquan in a safe location, I spent my time experimenting and looking at the view around people I've granted with [Scan].
This lasts for a whole night.
When the next day started, Ren Qingquan woke up due to someone knocking on his cave residence.
Grumpily leaving his bed, Ren Qingquan opened his cave residence and saw Fatty Zhang knocking on it.
When fatty saw Ren Qingquan, he happily hugged him. "Brother Ren, you're finally here! A few days ago, I tried to visit brother Ren's cave to congratulate you. I heard from my master you've broken through and even become the senior brother of the sect. But the last few days you've been missing and I don't know any other means to contact you, so I just check on your new cave residence every morning."
I am quite surprised. The news of Ren Qingquan breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage has spread so fast?
Then, Ren Qingquan brought fatty to his cave and chatted for a moment before fatty asked something out of the blue. "Brother Ren, how about we compete? Coincidentally, I have just learned a magical technique yesterday and wished to test the difference between us."
When Ren Qingquan heard it, I saw his eyes brighten up. 'It's time to show off!'
All tiredness on Ren Qingquan's face disappeared and he quickly opened the door to his cave and walked to the opening in front of his house. Then, he spoke to Fatty Zhang. "Let's do it here."
In front of his cave, there is a small open square. I am not sure why there is a square in front of his house though.
With both hands behind his back, Ren Qingquan spoke. "I'll cast a magical technique. If you successfully break through it, you win."
Then, I feel Ren Qingquan circulated his spirit qi to cast Super Duper .... turtle Shell Technique.
"Then, Brother Ren, I won't stand on ceremony." Fatty also circulated his spirit qi and enveloped his fist with a small amount of spirit qi. As he is still at the Qi Refining stage, the amount of spirit qi used to envelop his hand hasn't even reached one strand.
Fatty Zhang then nimbly moved toward Ren Qingquan and threw his punch.
***
While Ren Qingquan and fatty previously talked with each other, I've always placed my attention on someone.
A kilometer away from Ren Qingquan, I can see Elder Fengyun observing his cave residence. Just like before, this Elder Fengyun is merely a clone. I can't sense my [Anchor] on him. Furthermore the energy this clone releases is quite small compared to the main body. Probably only at the peak of the Golden Core stage.
Now, not long after the battle started, I saw Elder Fengyun's clone left quickly. The direction he headed seems to be the sect's hall where the Sect Master and the Pure Wave Sect's higher-ups gathered.
It seems Elder Fengyun is going to tattletale on Ren Qingquan again.
The last time such a thing happened, Ren Qingquan went under tight observation. So, I decided to check on what they're gonna talk about.
Although I haven't anchored an elder Fengyun's clone, I've done so on the sect's higher-ups. Which means I just need to change my view to the one coming from the sect higher-up's [Scan]. After some thought, I decided to place my attention on the Scan attached to the Sect Master.
Currently the Sect Master and the other higher-ups are discussing what happened to Ren Qingquan yesterday. Occasionally they asked Peak Master Xue and Peak Master Tumultuous Wave some detail about the event yesterday.
A few moments later, the Sect Master and the surrounding higher-ups looked at elder Fengyun who had just arrived."Hello, elder Fengyun."
Without much nonsense, elder Fengyun quickly spoke."Sect Master, I just saw Ren Qingquan used the Gui family's special magical technique! The defensive technique with a stupidly long name."
Peak Master Xue suddenly spoke. "The Gui family? The top family specializing in divination, formations, and defensive technique? Did Ren Qingquan use the defensive technique that can only be used by someone from their bloodline?"
Elder Fengyun nodded his head.
"Hahaha! The time for our Pure Wave Sect to return as a top sect will soon arrive! The last time someone from the Gui family joined a certain family, that family turned into one of the Top families in the cultivation world within a thousand years." The Sect Master laughed out loud without caring how the surrounding people looked at him.
While the Sect Master is laughing gleefully, the elderly higher-up sitting next to him added. "Indeed. It seems the Gui family has the habit of investing in some force that's going to raise. I've seen from the record, they often send some family members into forces that will soon rise up. Furthermore, the members they send usually have a huge amount of luck, which is extremely useful for those forces. But first, let's calm down and check it first, let's make sure Ren Qingquan is indeed a member of the Gui family."
Sect Master calmed down upon hearing the word from that elderly man. "Senior Nine Sequence talisman is right. We must first make sure Ren Qingquan is indeed someone from the Gui family. Although I believe in Fengyun's insight, this information is just too important. So, let's check on him ourselves."
The surrounding higher-ups agreed with the Sect Master's decision as they nodded their heads. "Then, Elder Fengyun, can you help bring Ren Qingquan here?"
***
At this time, Fatty Zhang is panting while smashing his fist at Ren Qingquan's Super duper ... Turtle Shell Technique.
"Damn it, I give up! Brother Ren, your magical technique is so powerful. I can't even scratch it. As expected, the difference between Qi Refining stage cultivator and a Foundation Building is too big." Fatty complained and plopped to the ground.
This time, it is Ren Qingquan's turn to be confused. "Huh? Why do you think I am at the Foundation Building stage?"
Although he is confused why Ren Qingquan asked that. But fatty still answered. "Because both of us have only cultivated for a short time?"
"But I've just broken through to Nascent Soul stage and not Foundation Building Stage." Ren Qingquan replied.
" Eh?" Fatty Zhang is dumbfounded.
(☉。☉)
While Fatty Zhang is standing at his spot, Elder Fengyun arrives and tells Ren Qingquan the Sect Master wishes to talk with him.
Even when Ren Qingquan was brought by Elder Fengyun to the sect hall, Fatty Zhang still stood stupefied.
Before leaving, he bought a spirit crystal using 1.000 points and gave it to Fatty Zhang so fatty can cultivate faster. But Fatty's mind seems to be extremely confused right now. So, it's unknown whether or not he will remember that Ren Qingquan gave him a spirit crystal.
