Traveling back to the Peerless Sky Sect, He went back to get his reward. He has killed over four hundred of Minion Jade Beetle and a hundred of Soldier Jade Beetle.

"Oh, You have returned." Elder Lin said, seeing Zhen Lun return he must have finished his task.

Zhen Lun handed over his token, which recorded the numbers of Jade Beetles that he hunted during his trip. Sadly, they didn't give any extra points for killing Soldier Jade Beetle, it was counted as Jade Beetle and nothing else. He totally earned over 15000 CP from subjugating Jade Beetle.

Afterward, he opened his Quest Menu and also receive his reward from the system.

[Leveled Up!]

[You have reached Level 10]

[Skill Menu Unlocked]

[One Skill Points gained!]

'New menu?' Zhen Lun was confused. Judging from his name it's for skills. 'Which means I can learn skills from the system too?'

Zhen Lun immediately opened the Skill Menu. The screen was displayed four icons in the center of the menu.

On the top left, It was a hammer and anvil.

[Forging]

Unlocks Forging Skills

On the top right, It was a shop.

[Shopping]

Unlocks Shop Menu

On the bottom left, It was a monster corpse with coins on the grounds.

[Looting]

Enemy drops coins when killed

On the bottom right, there were three people on the icon.

[Slavery]

Allows you to have more slaves (+Three Slots) Currently: One Slot Available left.

Seeing the skills he was immediately disappointed. He expected the system to give him overpowered skills that he is able to use in combat.

Sigh*

Ignoring his irrational thoughts Zhen Lun examined the skills carefully.

'I only have one skill points right now. Which skill should I learn?' Zhen Lun was currently contemplating. Even though he can probably obtain more skill points as he leveled up, he wasn't willing to waste them.

'Forging, I don't think I need them. I'm currently satisfied with Mana Weapon.'

'Shopping, Currently I'm broke, having it was pretty much useless right?'

'Slavery, I don't want more slaves, In fact, I'm quite relieved that there are only one more slots left. It'll be troublesome to take more people in.'

'Killing makes money.' Even though he doesn't know how much money that will drop when he kill something or someone. It was just what he needs for someone as poor as him.

Zhen Lun unhesitantly learned 'Looting'.

As he has been standing still on the spot for quite long while trifling with something unknown. The elder was worried 'What is wrong with this youngster?'

"Young man, Are you okay?" The Elder Lin asked worriedly.

Zhen Lun was startled for a moment, "Uhh, Yes I'm fine." Zhen Lun apologized.

"Right, Elder Lin, I wanted to exchange some herbs with the points I just acquired."

"What kind of herbs?"

"Um, What kind of herbs that are available?"

"Here are the lists."

There are not many varieties that available, only their age was different.

"I would like 10-years old Spirit Bamboo and 10 years-old Ginseng Root."

The Elder nodded and brought out the herbs that Zhen Lun requested. "It's not for you, is it? This low-quality herb will not be effective for a cultivator like you."

"It is indeed not for me." He said honestly as he handed his token over, Letting Elder Lin deducts points from the token, 800 CP was deducted. Zhen Lun still has 15080 CP left

Storing the Herbs into his inventory Zhen Lun left the hall and heads back to his apartment.

'The genius has returned. No wonder, That Old Yu was in a good mood.'

---

"I'm back Xiao Xue!" Zhen Lun stormed into the room.

'Master is back! Should I ask him now? Is it a proper time to ask?' Xiao Xue was quite nervous in her thoughts but she managed to keeps a poker face outside. "Master, Welcome back."

"I'll cook something for you." Zhen Lun heads to the kitchen to cook the herbs that he bought.

Zhen Lun prepared a small pot of water. He boils the water first before tossing the herbs in. As the herbs entered the pot, he decided to let it simmer for ten minutes.

'Master is cooking?' Xiao Xue was surprised. Her master can really do anything.

Ten minutes have passed and he removed the bamboo shoots and ginseng out of the pot. He finely chopped them into small bits and throw them in again. This time planned to let it simmers for an hour.

While waiting for it to finish cooking. Zhen Lun looked at Xiao Xue. "You look troubled. What is it?"

Xiao Xue was startled, She was confident with her poker face. 'Did her face look troubled?'

"Master, I would like to cultivate as you do. Is that allowed?" Xiao Xue politely asked.

"Well, I'm planning to let you cultivate so that you are able to protect yourself but only after you regain your peak condition. The current condition of your body is too weak. I'm cooking a medicine stews, it will help you to get a little plumper as they are quite nutritious."

'...Master wants me to get fat like Lady Fang?' Xiao Xue was horrified as she imagined herself getting fat.

Cough*

"As plump as me." Zhen Lun said awkwardly.

"Anyway, Let's eat first. Later on, there will be more for you to eat." Zhen Lun retrieves the warm foods that he bought while he was on the way back.

Zhen Lun sets the food on the table beautifully as he gestured Xiao Xue to come and eat.

"Yes, Master." Xiao Xue obediently ate with Zhen Lun.

As they finished eating their dinner. Xiao Xue was instructed by Zhen Lun to rest again. The herbs are still cooking. He will wake her up once they are done.

'Eat, sleep and repeat, Aren't I a pig?' Xiao Xue complained in her thoughts.

Hearing her thought Zhen Lun frowned. "My Xiao Xue you should sleep beautifully like a princess." Zhen Lun pointed out a fact. 'With this, she would not think of herself as a pig.'

'I should get rest so that I can get stronger to cultivate!' Xiao Xue really tried her best to sleep as soon as she laid down on the bed, she was already fast asleep.

Phew...

With Xiao Xue sleeping, Zhen Lun went to the living room to train his Water Sword Technique. Since the furniture are inconvenienced him he stored them inside his inventory. As he was about to practice someone knocked on his door.

Knock*

'Hm? Who is visiting me at such time?' Zhen Lun wondered.

He went and opened the door. A beautiful pink-haired girl wearing her pajamas visited him?

"Hello, Sister Tang." Zhen Lun smiled.

"Um... Here, I've repaid my debt. Bye." Sister Tang nervously handed over a box to Zhen Lun. She left just like that after handing Zhen Lun the mysterious box.

"Thanks??" Zhen Lun don't know what to say, He doesn't even have a chance to see her face properly.

'What is this?' Carrying the box he closed the door and sat on the ground since he has removed the couch.

He opened the box and found a dark-grey stone inside, to be precise it was dark-grey grade spirit stone. Spirit Stone comes with many grades started from the lowest to highest grade was Black, Grey, Brown, Green, Blue, Purple, Pink, Red, Orange, Yellow and lastly White. It was sorted from the darkest to lightest. The darker the color, the lower-grade the spirit stone is.

From what he knows Purple Spirit Stone was considered a national treasure of the current emperor. The higher-grade are all like Pink and Red were all myths to them. They only heard them but never seen them.

'Dark-Grey Grade Spirit Stone? When did I do something to deserve this?' He was confused as he was oblivious about the book that he has given to Sister Tang.

'I should repay my debt to her when I got stronger.'

Last time he couldn't see Sister Tang stats due to him being too weak but this time, He finally realized get to a glimpse at Sister Tang's Character Menu.

'This Dark-Grey Spirit Stone I should put it to use immediately.' Zhen Lun decided to store the stone inside his inventory. He has a feeling that he can use it directly from his inventory just like the books.

Just like he expected the Inventory Menu done wonder works for him. As soon as he clicked yes, He can feel that his body is filled with Qi, Zhen Lun immediately broke through due to the abundant of Qi.

With the support from Dark-Grey spirit stone, He will easily achieve another breakthrough in a few minutes. He received an additional 30% effectiveness and there's still buffed status that he received his rich room. In total, he has an extra 50% increase in his cultivation speed.

Not long later he achieved another breakthrough.

Puff*

He can't get enough of the feeling from breaking through, it always felt refreshing to him. It is very addictive.

"The herbal brews should be ready."

Zhen Lun goes and checks his kitchen. 'The water has absorbed the medicine properties quite finely. I should wake her up.'

Zhen Lun carefully pours them to a bowl and kept the rest in his inventory to keep them fresh and warm. He then visits his bedroom where Xiao Xue is sleeping with the bowl on his hand.

"Xiao Xue wake up." Zhen Lun wakes her with a gentle voice.

Like a cute dog that follows her master word, As soon she heard a command. She opened her eyes and look earnestly at Zhen Lun. "I'm awake!"

"Drink this! It's a herbal brew, It will restore your health." Zhen Lun handed the bowl. "Once you finish--" Zhen Lun wanted to say something but he stopped.

'She finished it in a gulp!'

"Here, there are still some left." Zhen Lun retrieves the pot of herbal brew from his inventory. As he grabbed them out from inventory, Xiao Xue snatched the whole pot and gulped it down.

"Done!" Xiao Xue burped as she finished the whole pot. "Can I cultivate now?"

Zhen Lun can't help but let her down. She is really enthusiastic about cultivating. "I'm sorry, I don't have any cultivation books with me right now. It's late already, We'll head to the library tomorrow and get you one."

'Why the library didn't open at night...' Xiao Xue grumbled in her thoughts but in real-life...

"Yes, Master."

'How do I stop hearing her thoughts?' Zhen Lun cried. The image of an obedient little girl was ruined by himself.

[Special Quest arrived]

[Sleep with Little Snow]

As someone who wanted to become 'God', He has to treat their slave compassionately. You've been ordering her to sleep yet you didn't. You cannot be an unreasonable person.

Objective: Sleep with Little Snow

Rewards: Relationship Points

'What kind of quest is this?' Zhen Lun's eyes twitched as he read the reason he received this quest.

It didn't say that I will die if I didn't complete the quest but he somehow hesitates to ignore it.

Sigh*

'Alright, I'll sleep it's been a while that I rest. Even though I'm not tired, Sleeping is still an essential thing I guess.'

"I'll sleep with you." Zhen Lun said as he tucked himself into the bed with Xiao Xue. There's only one bed, he can only sleep with her.

"Goodnight." Zhen Lun said as he blows the candle off.

...

...

An hour passed and he was still struggling to sleep. Xiao Xue was fast asleep due to her innocentness.

'If only I didn't find out about that place.' He recalled the Red-Light district. He can't help but think of it when he so close with Xiao Xue.

'Breakthrough come on! I need to clear my mind!' Zhen Lun cried. Coincidently the if he did breakthrough he will reach Mind Tranquilizing Realm. Reaching that realm will clear up his mind from useless thoughts and it will also destroy his inner demons.

After three hours of struggling he can finally sleep peacefully.

[Mind Tranquilizing Realm reached!]

Zhen Lun can finally slowly closed his eyes as he emptied his minds to sleep.
