System Panel

"M-Master, is it okay to leave like this?" Li Mei inquired with an anxious look as she felt the cold atmosphere behind.

She was just a village girl and hadn't been involved in things at a higher level, so she was feeling quite scared thinking the sect would fall.

Watching her like this, Zhen Yunqi couldn't help but chuckle.

"Li Mei, your master is not weak; moreover, look at your senior brother; someone wants to kill him now, but he is still carefree, isn't he?" she said with a smile.

Hearing her, Li Mei wanted to retort that Ye Chen wasn't her senior brother, but before she could, he patted her head again and spoke.

"My junior sister Xiao Mei, you worry too much! Look at Yunqi; she can't control the elders under her; however, they had no choice but to obey her words, right?"

"Don't you think something fishy is going on here?" he pointed out with a smirk.

He had experienced many things in the past life because of this; seeing through the thoughts of sect elders was a child's play for him.

Moreover, Zhen Yunqi had said it was her sect, so he could guess why they were all hesitant to go against her.

However, Li Mei still found it hard to conclude and could only look at her master, whose mouth twitched with irritation.

'This brat! How dare he call me by name!' Zhen Yunqi thought angrily, but she was helpless and could only take a deep breath to calm herself down.

"Li Mei, you are still too weak to know such things, so don't think too much and let's go; we are done here," she said and waved her hand to lift them before flying towards her residence without any delay.

Her residence, which meant Ye Chen's main body was only ten miles away from the sect.

It was also the biggest mountain in the Azure Mountain range, standing aloof at the heights of thirty thousand feet while the base spanned around forty miles wide.

On the mountain at a certain height, a beautiful ancient courtyard stood with elegance, and before it, three figures descended gracefully.

"Ye Chen, Li Mei, this is where you both are going to live. I have already arranged a few servants to bring all necessary things here, so don't worry about going to buy them," Zhen Yunqi informed, pointing at the beautiful courtyard in front of them.

However, there was only one courtyard, which meant both Li Mei and Ye Chen would be living here.

Although there were large numbers of rooms, Li Mei still didn't like the idea of living with him and once again she became anxious.

"Master, I don't want to live with him," she stated with tears as she distanced herself from her senior brother.

But as usual, Zhen Yunqi ignored her and turned towards Ye Chen before taking out a small book, a black ring, and a shiny jade bottle.

"Ye Chen, this small book contains the Azure Cloud Art, which is the highest grade of cultivation technique inside the sect. Although it is only high-tier Earth-grade, it will suffice for some time. Until then, I will try to get hands on Heaven-grade cultivation technique for you."

"The next is spatial ring. Once you step into the first stage of Qi Gathering, you will be able to use it. There are five hundred low-grade and hundred middle-grade spirit stones inside, which will be useful for your cultivation."

"And lastly, is this jade bottle, which contains fifty Tier-1 Qi gathering pills. If you need more, you can just request from me again," she said giving him all three items without any hesitation.

If anyone knew that she had given him so many things, their jaws would fall out in shock.

The Azure Cloud Art was like heavenly treasure in the sect. Disciples and elders were only allowed to cultivate a few parts of it. If they want to cultivate every part, then they must make enormous amounts of contributions, which is no easy feat.

The spatial ring was also a treasure that only elders and outstanding disciples had.

The Tier-1 Qi gathering pills were not expensive, but they were still something that disciples have a hard time getting, especially the ones who just started cultivating.

As for the spirit stones, there was no need to say anything. No matter the grade, they were very expensive and needed a lot of contribution points.

Yet she gave Ye Chen an enormous amount of them without hesitation. It could be clearly seen that she valued him very much.

Ye Chen could guess that these things must be very valuable; however, he was still calm as water.

Even getting reborn just surprised him slightly, so how could such things move him?

Moreover, if he lost composure over this, he would be embarrassed to claim himself as a legendary soldier who adapted to any situation quickly.

Zhen Yunqi didn't know this, so she was surprised at how composed he was. Nevertheless, she didn't care too much because she herself wouldn't be amazed if anyone gave her these items.

There was also one person who was calm and composed, and that was Li Mei.

But it was because she didn't know the value of these things and thought master must have many of them.

Fortunately, no disciple or elder knew her thoughts; if not, they might spit out blood in anger.

"Li Mei, come with me; I have something to give you," Zhen Yunqi said, and after saying a few more words to Ye Chen she brought Li Mei to the retreat room, where they had seen his perfect body.

They both couldn't help but recall the heavenly sight with a faint blush.

However, Zhen Yunqi quickly shook her thoughts and activated the formations in the room.

Li Mei was puzzled at this, but it didn't take too long for her to find the answer.

"Master, this is?!" she questioned with shock, looking at the glaring blue jade pendant which gave a profound cold feeling.

'Does the master want to give me this?' she thought inwardly when Zhen Yunqi started to explain.

"This is an inheritance of the Tier-9 inscription master as well as the Heaven Grade cultivation technique. It's just that only women can learn and cultivate this."

"I have learned everything from it, and now I am going to pass this on to you! With your talent, I believe you will be able to become the first Tier-9 inscription master in Golden River Kingdom," she said with a serious look.

Hearing her, Li Mei was dumfounded.

She didn't know what the Tier-9 inscription master was, but she felt overwhelmed just by thinking this. Moreover, her master had very big expectations from her, who knew nothing about cultivation.

"M-Master, isn't this too much for me! I don't even know how to cultivate!" she replied with fear, shaking her head rapidly.

What if she failed? Would that make master hate her or even everyone? She couldn't help but feel anxious.

Watching her like this, Zhen Yunqi smiled.

"You don't need to worry about cultivating; as long as you are close to Ye Chen, he will help you," she said and continued.

"Don't try to make distance between both of you; he is just teasing you and won't do anything forcefully."

"Also, as long as you are even a friend of him, he will definitely help you to cultivate and at the speed of Heaven-grade spiritual root," she stated.

Hearing her, Li Mei was stunned and was just about to inquire, Zhen Yunqi waved her hand.

"I have other things to do, so sit down here and hold the jade pendant between your eyebrows. I will help you to look through the cultivation technique; after that, you can go back and digest everything," she instructed and gestured for her to sit down.

Watching her like this, Li Mei could only give up with a nod before following her instructions.

After going through the lengthy description, Ye Chen understood how this system worked.

"If I cultivate for one hour, I will get 100 points, and if I kill a first-stage Qi gathering cultivator or monster, I will receive 100 points as long as I absorb their blood essence."

"But if I break through and start cultivating the second stage, I will receive 200 points per hour, the same as for killing the second stage cultivator or monsters."

"There is also reward for breaking through the realms; at every big realm breakthrough I will receive one divine fishing chance, but whatever I get through it will depend on my luck," he muttered to himself before shifting his attention to the shop.

There was only one thing sold here, and that was fishing chances.

Yellow grade fishing costed 1000 coins, Profound grade 10000 coins, Erath grade 1 million coins, and lastly Heaven grade which costed 10 million coins.

There were also grades further, but they were all question marks, and when he tried to select them, a prompt showed up indicating his cultivation was not enough.

"So, I need to cultivate further to unlock them," he said with a hint of interest and closed the shop panel before focusing his gaze on two buttons.

[Diving Fishing x1] [Diving Fishing xAll]

"Well, time to fish now," he said with a smirk, and without hesitation, he pressed the second button to fish at once!
