Chapter 19. Ren ‘Cheater’ Qingquan
Chapter 19. Ren ‘Cheater’ Qingquan
After raising the range of his [Devour] to six meters, Ren Qingquan immediately went to another mountain system has recommended. Activating his movement technique, he quickly ran toward the designated area. After exploring around the area and killing the ferocious beasts living there, Ren Qingquan immediately devoured the mountain. In half a day, the big mountain has already turned into a grassy plain. Contributing an increase of 400 points for him.
'System, spend all of my points for vital energies.'
[Do you wish to spend 414 points to purchase 207 strands of vital energies gained from 'Body Tempering Technique'?]
'Yes.'
[Ding! You have purchased 207 Vital energies. It will be sent directly to your body in several batches.]
After the system's notification, Ren Qingquan could feel his body feeling warm and relaxed as if bathing in a hot spring while being massaged by sexy maids.
After two minutes, that warm sensation finally ended. Opening his panel, Ren Qingquan could see the massive increase in his realm.
[Name: Ren Qingquan
Realm: Second Stage Martial Grandmaster
Point: 0
Technique: Body Tempering (Martial Saint)
Skills: Tiger Subduing Palm(Middle),
Agile Step (Middle), Iron Cloth (Low).
System function: Devour, Shop, Scan, Library, Map, Calculate, System Storage (10 cubic meters).]
Looking at his updated personal panel, he nodded in satisfaction. Especially when he looked at his martial arts realm that has increased by a whole big level.
To advance from Martial Apprentice to Martial Master requires martial artists to collect 10 vital energy, and from Martial Master to Martial Grandmaster require 100 vital energy with every stage at Martial Grandmaster realm requiring 100 vital energy to increase. The 207 vital energy he purchased has directly pushed his realm to second stage Martial Grandmaster. If other people know they might spit blood several times and die.
'What else should I say? As expected of the system.'
╮(╯▽╰)╭
Running toward yet another mountain with his increased speed due to the rise of the realm, he quickly arrived at the mountain. This mountain is much bigger in size compared to the surrounding mountains. The system said it has chosen this place due to the ruined condition this mountain is currently in, which seems like the aftermath of an earthquake.
'System, are you sure about targeting this mountain? It is pretty huge compared to the surroundings and seems pretty eyecatching.'
[Ding! Don't worry host, it should be normal for a mountain to get shorter after experiencing an earthquake.]
Actually Ren Qingquan is a bit doubtful, but he is no expert in this kind of thing and just chooses to trust the system.
Even from a far distance, Ren Qingquan could already see a disastrous scene with many trees falling and overturned earth as if there was a super big earthquake happening.
Following his habit of exploring the mountain he has chosen as a victim, Ren Qingquan could see many ferocious beasts gathering at a location. Due to most of the trees having fallen, his line of sight is not obstructed and he could see the corpse of a huge snake and a huge bird being eaten by dozens of ferocious beasts.
Looking at that scene, several thoughts immediately ran through his mind.
'Both of those ferocious beasts are huge! I wonder how much I could get from swallowing them.'
Immediately running toward those ferocious beasts, Ren Qingquan immediately smashed his weapon on them and killed many beasts at once to make them stop eating the corpse. Hearing that smashing sound, the surrounding beasts stopped for a moment before quickly running away.
Retrieving his metal plate into system storage, Ren Qingquan released it several more times toward slower ferocious beasts and quickly killed them. Looking at the hell-like scene, Ren Qingquan, who has already done this several times, finally could keep a seemingly calm face. But, from his slightly pale face, it seems Ren Qingquan is still far away from capable of killing things in cold blood.
Activating his [Devour] and swallowing the corpse of those ferocious beasts he recently killed and the corpse of snake and bird while leaving the heart from those corpses from being devoured. Storing the hearts that have been left, he starts to look at the now clean area without any trace of blood and feels a bit disappointed.
'It seems I am not quick enough and someone has already harvested the hearts from both of these gigantic beasts. Luckily, the flesh in it is still worth quite a lot of points.'
Just from devouring the body of surrounding ferocious beasts and both of these massive beasts has increased Ren Qingquan's point by another 300. Repeating his previous action, he immediately spent all of the points toward upgrading his martial arts realm. Experiencing the warm and relaxed feeling once again, Ren Qingquan soon felt his body strengthened. With this, he is currently at the peak of third stage Martial Grandmaster, soon reaching the fourth stage.
Starting his work of swallowing the mountain, Ren Qingquan started another round of devouring the mountain. Actually, after devouring those two giant ferocious beast corpses, he started having thought about focusing on hunting beasts instead. But, the location of ferocious beasts residing in Endless Mountain is inconsistent. One mountain might have dozens of ferocious beasts residing within, while another mountain will be empty.
While lost in thought the sky already started to darken. Creating a cave using devour, Ren Qingquan released his metal tent from system storage and slept.
Repeating those things for another three days, he has gained more than 1000 points. As the huge mountain he devoured is located almost at the inner section of Endless Mountain, the energy it contained is immense.
Spending it all on his martial arts realm, Ren Qingquan soon reached the ninth stage of Martial Grandmaster realm. Along with it, his storage of dried meat also ran out.
'Finally! All of this tasteless dried meat is already gone. *Ahem* I mean, damn it I am out of food. Let's return to the sect.'
'System, mark the location of the Martial Spirit Sect's outer sect.'
Following the mark placed in the system map, Ren Qingquan ran toward a direction. This time, due to the massive increase in realm. He only spent half a day reaching the Martial Spirit Sect.
After arriving at the Martial Spirit Sect, Ren Qingquan traded another 1000 sect coin using silver at the exchange hall before going to the stalls to buy several more air tight containers and sealed all the ferocious beast hearts he gathered inside. With that, he immediately went to the exchange hall once again to trade all the hearts he had collected.
When the person in charge realized he had reached the Martial Grandmaster realm, he asked Ren Qingchen for his disciple badge and changed it into another disciple badge for inner disciple. Hearing the person in charge's explanation, Ren Qingquan realized he had fulfilled the criteria to be an inner disciple.
After writing something on his paper, the person in charge asked him a question.
"an inner disciple needs to choose a peak to enter. So, have you decided which peak you wish to enter?"
"I haven't decided yet. Could you wait for a few days and let me think about it? Also, do you have a list of available peaks?"
"Alright, here is a list of available peaks at Martial Spirit Sect. According to the procedure, you have three days upon receiving the inner disciple badge to choose a peak. So, please come back in time. Otherwise you will be appointed to a random peak."
"Thank you."
Leaving the exchange hall with close to 10 000 sect coins in his pocket, Ren Qingchen realized he forgot to trade the other resources he gained from his adventure.
When Ren Qingquan wanted to go back to the exchange hall, he met with fatty Zhang.
"Brother Ren, what have you been doing since entering the sect? I couldn't find you no matter what." Fatty Zhang asked while wearing a concerned face.
"Hehehe. Actually, I have been training to reach Martial Grandmaster realm while hunting some ferocious beasts to raise my disciple rank. I have just finished rising my rank to inner disciple just now."
As he spoke, Ren Qingquan showed the new inner disciple badge he got.
"Damn! As expected of brother Ren, you actually reached Grandmaster so quickly. I think you might have broken the record of youngest Grandmaster already. This is definitely good news! Let's go to my tavern and have a party."
The Martial Spirit Sect is incredibly huge with a total population that could equal to a big city. Which makes entertainment establishments exist. Walking past the place with many disciples opening stalls, Ren Qingquan followed fatty Zhang toward his new tavern.
While eating and drinking, fatty Zhang and Ren Qingquan exchanged what they had experienced in the past months. But, when Ren Qingquan started to tell an altered story about how he killed a Martial Grandmaster realm as a mere Martial Master, fatty Zhang suddenly asked him some questions.
"Wait, brother Ren. Did you just say you found a Moonlight Glow Flower?"
"Yep. That flower is glowing and looks incredibly precious so I choose to keep it. I could give it to you if you want as a thanks for this meal. After all, ferocious beast meat is pretty expensive too."
With that, Ren Qingquan placed his hand in his bag and released the flower stored in system storage. Pulling his hand from the bag, Ren Qingquan gave the flower to fatty Zhang.
Once fatty Zhang saw the flower, he immediately went to the tavern's storage room and took a jade box. Placing the flower inside, fatty Zhang quickly thanked Ren Qingquan.
"Brother Ren, I couldn't thank you enough. My aunt has been looking for this flower for some time."
After saying that, fatty Zhang seems to be extremely happy and anxious. Before long, they parted from each other. This time, Ren Qingquan purchased some food from fatty's tavern to be stored in [Storage]. Eating that dried meat for two whole months makes him want to vomit.
***
Soon after at a certain peak within the Martial Spirit Sect.
*BOOM*
The sound of the door to a medicine refining chamber being smashed could be heard.
A fatty running while being drenched in sweat could be seen from behind the door as he slammed it open.
"Arggggg. The medicine got burned! Fatty! This time if there is nothing of importance, I will immediately beat the shit out of you for real."
"Aunt! On my way to my tavern, I met Brother Qingquan and he gave me the Moonlight Glow Flower you have been searching for. From your description about mature Moonlight Glow Flower, I could see the Moonlight Glow Flower brother Ren gave me seems to have almost matured and met your needs."
Hearing Fatty's words, Aunt Zhang held back her anger.
"Really? Quickly show it to me! If this is truly the Moonlight glow, then I will not make you take responsibility for the dozens of doors you previously destroyed. "
Fatty Zhang quickly pulled a jade box with a glowing plant within. Upon checking the content, aunt Zhang quickly took the box and ran toward a pavilion located at the top of the medicine refining peak.
"Peak Master! Peak Master! Quickly come out, I have found the plant you need!"
After calling for some time with no response, aunt Zhang seems to have lost her patience and screamed at the top of her lungs.
"OLD FART, COME OUT QUICKLY OR I WILL BURN YOUR MEDICINE GARDEN!"
Slowly a white haired elder walked out from the pavilion.
"Elder Zhang, what are you screaming like that for? Don't you know i am already old enough. Hearing your scream makes me feel like losing a whole year of my lifespan."
"Old far *Ahem* I mean, Peak Master. My fat nephew has found the Moonlight Glow Plant you are looking for. Are you sure this is the thing you need?"
The white haired elder looked at the box in aunt Zhang's hand and nodded.
"Well, it is indeed the right plant. With this I should be able to craft that life extending medicine and increase my lifespan."
