Chapter 47. Luck!
After obtaining one strand of spirit qi, I sensed a slight change in Ren Qingquan’s constitution. He indeed get slightly stronger and his mental power increases by an extremely small amount. But, sensing that extremely tiny increase, no wonder I couldn’t detect any increase when he only refined a trace of spirit qi previously.
Focusing my attention on the strand of refined spirit qi created from combining 1000 traces of spirit qi, I sensed no qualitative increase after they gathered into a strand. It seems I don’t need to study how to create a strand of refined spirit qi and can just sell a bundle containing 1000 traces of refined spirit qi and name it a strand of refined spirit qi.
Anyway, soon after he purchased all that thing, Ren Qingquan realized the lacking amount of absorbed spirit qi he received. And so, he asked me about it. ‘System, I purchased a strand of absorbed spirit qi. So, why does my absorbed spirit qi only increase by 0.001 strand?’
[Answering to host, the amount of spirit qi a qi refining stage cultivator can hold is only 1 strand. Forcefully containing more than 1 strand of refined spirit qi inside your dantian while at qi refining stage may cause it to be injured.]
After hearing my explanation, Ren Qingquan panicked. ‘Then, where is the excess absorbed spirit qi I purchased? Don’t tell me you discarded it!?’
[No worries, host. The excess spirit qi is stored by system. Host may open your personal panel to check the specific amount of extra spirit stored by the system.]
Following my word, Ren Qingquan opened his personal panel.
[Name: Ren Qingquan
Realm: Qi Refining 1/5 (Require 4 more strands of refined spirit qi to reach completion.)
Absorbed Spirit Qi: 1 +0.999 (Excess spirit qi can be used to fill spirit qi stored in dantian once there is any extra room for it.)
Points: 50.000
Profession: Formation master (Extremely Weak.)
Cultivation Method: Immortal Body Tempering (Immortal Ascension)

System function: Devour, Shop, Scan, Library, Map (1000 meters radius), Calculate, System Storage (100 cubic meters).
Note: added the amount of refined spirit qi and the required amount of spirit qi to reach completion of current stage. ]
Once Ren Qingquan saw the +0.999 at the end of Absorbed Spirit qi part, I can sense him relaxed and thinking. ‘At least my 999 points worth of spirit qi didn’t disappear.’
He then proceeds to check the result of that 1 strand of refined spirit I created on his body. Sensing the tiny amount of increase he can barely feel, I sensed his dissatisfaction. Which is why Ren Qingquan opened the system shop once again and purchased 4.000 strands of refined spirit qi for 8.000 points.
After feeling the increased strength brought by another 4 strands of refined spirit qi, Ren Qingquan nodded in satisfaction with a smile on his face. That is until he felt the so-called bottleneck Jin Fushen mentioned before.
‘System, can you do something to this bottleneck?’ Just like usual, when he cannot understand something. Ren Qingquan calmly raised his hand and asked me this question.
What a pity though. I can’t do anything about that bottleneck for now. But at least I have thought of some ideas about how to handle this bottleneck problem. Writing my idea on a screen, I send it to Ren Qingquan.
Luckily, it doesn’t have any effect on the magical art’s activation. Otherwise, my reputation will go down the drain.
Calming myself down after cursing whoever wrote that stupid description. First, I tried to observe the aura Ren Qingquan suspected as luck to make sure of it.
I guess his random sharp moments arrived once again.
Because after some observation, by comparing the cultivating stages, ages, and aura size those people have. I found out those with bigger aura have slightly higher cultivation stages while at the same age group. Which is why I agreed with Ren Qingquan’s guess that the auras are indeed luck, or at least something similar.
After making sure that thing is lucky, I also tried to add the function of detecting it on [Scan]. But, it actually costs at least 1.000.000 energies to do that!
The price directly makes me perish my thought of adding that function to [Scan] within the near future. Ren Qingquan can already detect luck through his magical technique, anyway. So, adding luck detection in [Scan] is quite low in priority.
As a good cheat, I must seriously think about my resource management.
While I was busy testing my luck, Ren Qingquan stood up and walked near the board where many people gathered.
Looking at the many papers stuck on it, Ren Qingquan read some of them.
Resting his eyes on a paper, the following word are written.
‘Mission: Help pill refining peak to water medicinal garden for a day. Reward: depending on the size of the medicinal garden watered. Requirement: Capable of using Spirit Rain Magical Art.’
Reading the mission written in that paper, Ren Qingquan skipped through it. What he needed was a mission that required leaving the sect for a deserted place. Then, he continued searching for a suitable mission placed on the board.
After skipping through several dozen papers, Ren Qingquan stared at a certain paper. On it, the mission to investigate a weird happening in a forest nearby is written.
When I saw Ren Qingquan going to take that paper, I directly stopped him by sending a massive warning screen.
[Host, stop! Don’t take that mission!]
Ren Qingquan’s hand stopped in its tracks upon seeing my warning before asking me a question. ‘Why?’
[While the host is cultivating, the system saw the wolf that chased your group previously from a person attached to the sub-system. The location where I saw it is inside a forest. Furthermore, it is still extremely angry and killed the host of that subsystem.]
After reading my explanation, I can feel Ren Qingquan’s shocked feeling before he asked me a question. ‘What? Do you mean that wolf is also in this cultivation world and is inside a forest nearby the sect?’
[That is right.]
After hearing my answer, Ren Qingquan looked a bit thoughtful before changing the topic and asking an unrelated question. ‘Wait a moment, system. Did you just say you saw it from a person I attached to the sub system? Does that mean you can check the sub system I granted to others?’
[Of course, the system can use the sub system function. After all, it is still a part of the system. Anyway, that is not important! What the host must do now is to stay as far away from forests!]
Damn it, why is Ren Qingquan so sharp when I commit a blunder while talking with him?
