Tori's Hidden Faction
In the next few days, Tori continued working normally. He also continued creating debts with the slaves.
In helping so many of them personally, he was forming a powerful and heroic impression within their hearts. He was rapidly building his influence in the yard!
Obviously, he would try to dismantle Nug's reign of slavery by himself, but he also wants to take control of the mansion.
With his Cultivation System, surely he can be an unparalleled alchemist!
Tori silently broke his left arm repeatedly as he cultivated, speeding up his pace noticeably while also increasing his endurance. His Immortal's Pain Physique was truly too strong!
He glanced at his Status while he broke his arm for an unknown number of times.

'Here it is. I've reached the bottleneck to reach Rank 6...'
Tori's cultivation speed was absolutely terrifying! For normal cultivators, it would take days to fully sense Spiritual Qi, and at least a month to get to where Tori is!
Tori's absorption of Spiritual Qi suddenly sped up, and the surrounding Qi was sucked into his body like a vortex. Dozens of minutes passed before a small shockwave was formed from Spiritual Qi as Tori stabilized his Qi, now Rank 6!
At this moment, Nug, who Tori could only sense as a fellow cultivator, suddenly had his cultivation revealed. Although it wasn't completely seen through, Tori now knew that Nug was Rank 7!
In a few more days, Tori would soon surpass the over 100-year-old man!
Of course, with his multiple hidden advantages, he could already beat Nug up in a fair fight. But that's only in a fair fight since Nug has multiple guards at his beck and call.
In the past week or so since Tori woke up here, he had been making mental notes on all the guests that arrived here. After "persuading" the maids in the mansion, he learned that these guests were here to purchase personally ordered pills to help cultivate.
It seemed that Nug inherited a powerful recipe. But due to his unholy aptitude, this assumed to be recipe has been wasted for many years!
Tori didn't know if any of this was true, but the maids he spent time with seemed to be sure of it.
Tori exhaled a breath of foulness as his thoughts continued.
'It's almost 6 AM. I'll just go ahead and start my routine.'
Since Tori absorbed Spiritual Qi to temper his body, his energy was constantly filled to the brim, thus exempting his physical need for sleep.
Tori walked out of his room and waved to every maid he saw as he went to the yard, his popularity almost constantly increasing.
It was still a little dark out, and the gentle cool breeze ruffled his red hair as he breathed in the fresh air, soothing his mind. He stretched his arms out wide as he yawned, walking towards his plot of land.
A few people were already outside, either taking in the weather or wanting to be finished faster, they were early nonetheless.
Most of them waved to Tori when they saw him, grateful smiles on their faces. Tori waved back as he crouched down to his flowers first.

Tori raised his brow discreetly as he continued taking care of his flowers, but agreed in his mind.
[Appraisal Unlocked! Appraisal allows tori to examine anything and receive a basic analysis!]

Whenever the skill was unlocked, he instantly knew how to use it.
'Appraisal.'
{2-Leafed Rombone: Used in alchemy to create low-tiered pills.}
'Oh? Cultivation System, what are the tiers for pills?'
[The Cultivation System is strictly for guiding Tori along the path of cultivation, not to dabble in side-paths!]
'System, creating pills will help me cultivate faster and save my life to continue cultivating. If I have to rely on others to cultivate even faster, are you really doing your best?'
...
...
[System Function unlocked! Would you like to see the info?]
Tori's eyes gleamed as he agreed.
[Alchemy has been known to be essential to the path of cultivation since its discovery, and with the emergence of new things every year, this fact has only strengthened! To be the best Cultivation System, it is only right that Tori's alchemy skills are unparallel!]
'So shameless!'
The corner of Tori's lips twitched as he listened to the voice.
'Cultivation System, since I was able to convince you to change your guidance, how about you give me a celebration gift to begin my path of alchemy?
...
[Congratultions on helping develop the Cultivation System's functions! You received a Celebration Gift!]
'Open my Celebration Gift!'
[Congratulations! You opened a Celebration Gift and received Immortal's Guidance! Would you like to see the info?]
Tori agreed immediately!
[There was once an immortal who spent many eras in seclusion, growing a herb garden, perfecting their skills, and increasing their knowledge to its limit! This Alchemy Aptitude allows one to have an innate understanding of all fauna, have an unparallel learning speed, and have an extremely high affinity with Spiritual Plants!]
'So generous!'
