The journey starts…
The glowing stone slowly crumbled and a small pill majestically revealed itself. Its radiant appearance made it look like it was some divine egg that was long hidden, or at least that is what it seemed like to Shang Di.
[The host successfully created a (Qi-Replenishing) pill, pill grade: mid-gold rank]
[Info: All items have a rank, though most can be translated into the systems grading, the system needs to establish at least a bit of world knowledge to the host.
(Copper -> C; Bronze -> UC; Iron -> Rare; Gold -> E; Platinium -> SR; Diamond -> UR.) ]
"I understand, it seems like the systems slowly learns and knows what to tell me, even beforehand." Shang Di nodded as he slowly noticed something... his quest!
[The host has accomplished his quest "Become an Alchemist"
Reward: E-Ticket.]
[Pill info: Qi Replenishing Pill; Grade: E; Purity: 100%.
Side Note: A pill created to replenish one's Qi. The amount of Qi replenishing depends on the purity and grade of the pill.]
'I see... but what should I do now?' Shang Di thought to himself while he scratched his head, though he had no idea if his plan would work he put everything on one card. Thus he asked:
"What's the closest city?"
[That would be the Four Star Constellation city, one of the 4 great cities under the control of the Onyx Empire. It's exactly to the east side.]
'Though I wanted to go to a village... It wouldn't be so beneficial compared to the city. Only then I can gather more information about this world.' With this Shang Di sat down on the ground once again and meditated, trying to break through the next major realm.
---
As the sun was rising Shang Di still sat there, under a tree, peacefully meditating. As he opened his eyes he said in a low yet joyful voice:
"I've done it. Broke through."
[The host successfully broke through to the first stage of the Qi condensing realm.
Reward: 200 SP]
"Nice." As Shang Di stood up he quickly headed forward to the Four Star Constellation city. Since he had all-time in the world he didn't hurry and even killed a few Qi Gathering beasts on his way.
Though in the beginning, he was quite disgusted by the sight of killing he quickly adapted to it. He had a goal, and though he wasn't in hurry, he still wanted to reach his goal.
[SP: 550]
"My SP are quite much, maybe I should look into the shop?" He had gained quite a good amount of SP in 4 hours of traveling while killing beasts, of course, he wanted to comfort himself a little bit.

Seeing this Shang Di's eyes almost fell out,
'1000 SP to 1 draw... but man... a guaranteed E looks quite tempting...' Shang Di knew that if he wanted to build a sect he needed 3 things.
Power, Knowledge, and Resources. These 3 things were essential, and right now they had nothing of the 3. Although being an alchemist would bring him a step closer, it wasn't enough.
Right now he lacked the prowess to defend himself and the resources, he had no money and didn't even know how the currency in this world would work.
"Let's get going!" Motivated Shang Di stood up, and continued his journey. As he kept walking he was always looking around, seeing if there would be some little beasts he could kill to get to the 1000 SP.
After he walked for quite a bit, he finally got out of the forest.
Shang Di then asked the system how long it would take from there to the city, and the system transferred the entire route in his brain.
'3 hours... 2 when I keep using the footwork technique... Straight to the east...' With a confident look Shang Di looked forward.
"It's still a long way to go..." In his previous life, he didn't really exercise, and yet he's here traveling hundreds of kilometers in hours, without any car or train.
As Shang Di kept running he realized how beautiful this world was, where ever he looked it was quite majestic.
Far away he could see big mountains, when he looked to his right he could look in the forest, seeing the beautiful plants he felt comfortable. This world felt so peaceful.
However, Shang Di knew that this world was most definitely more dangerous than earth. Otherwise, why would he need these fighting skills, Shang Di had already figured it out, and with a sigh, he couldn't help but be a bit disappointed and afraid of what he will go through, however...
"This is going to be an adventure." Yes, Shang Di was afraid, but also motivated and full of anticipation. He didn't know why but he was eager, more than ever before.
"Faster!" Shang Di ran faster not just that, he also combined his running with the footwork technique, it felt like he was in one of the games he played, he felt like the main character.
