I just realized yesterday that I didn’t mention the stat point gain from Shao Chen. I have fixed that mistake by adding stat points to this chapter and I will fix it in the previous chapter on Sunday as well.

[Skill: Unknown]

[Tier: SSS]

[Description: As a cultivator, the biggest weakness you have is exposure

It makes your life harder

Well, not anymore

Be free from the fear of getting caught

And most importantly, have fun]

[Effect: Your Qi can no longer be traced]

[Limitations:

The skill must be activated before using any type of Qi skill to have an effect

Qi used before activating the skill can still be traced

The skill will automatically activate unless deactivated by the user]

[Special note for the user: The user can activate the skill using yang Qi even while the Death Qi is activated]

[Duration: 5 minutes]

[Cost: 500 QP]

[No cooldown]

Wei Jun stared at the screen with his jaw a little open, his mind fighting really hard against his temptation to jump in the air and yell ‘Hurraahh!!!’

“Fwoo~” In the end, Wei Jun managed to calm himself down. It was true that the reward he received was broken but it was also riddled with limitations.

First and foremost, his Qi wasn’t enough to support the skill to be used a second time. And if he were to use it once, it would be difficult to use his other skills.

It was a blessing that he could use yang Qi to activate the skill and then use the death Qi, but even then, it wasn’t enough for him to use it the second time.

Wei Jun needed to increase his Qi pool and he needed to do so desperately.

[Wei Jun Ruan

Level: 94

HP: 103\103

QP: 960\960

Death Qi: 261\261

Cultivation realm: Qi manifestation realm]

[Strength: 137]

[Agility: 171]

[Stamina: 169]

[Defense: 155]

[Qi: 192]

[Charm: 71]

[Luck: 49]

Wei Jun checked his stats because he was too busy in the last few days and when he did, he realized many things after checking it out.

First, his cultivation realm had advanced to the next realm and he was happy about that. Other than that, his limit had been enhanced to 200 stat points each and his Qi was already nearing the end of the limit.

His other stats weren’t far behind but they could use some polishing. Luckily, Wei Jun had the meat of the Barghests he killed for his physical stats or at least he hoped so.

His Qi and Death Qi were progressing quite a bit fast as well but what he was truly interested in was about raising his Death Qi and after his conversation with the old man, he specifically remembered him saying that the gate increment was all around the world which meant there were some sure to be in the empire as well.

His best bet was his sect but he still wasn’t so sure about that. He was hoping he could somehow make it in if he was right and if he was, that would just be another jackpot he would be hitting.

Other than that, his non-combat skills were increasing as well and he still hadn’t found a way to use either of them. Charm was supposed to make him handsome but Lin Ruan didn’t show any reaction to his increased charm so there must be more to it than meets the eye.

As for Luck, he wasn’t sure it was the same Luck as in poker luck. There must be something else to it but he wasn’t too sure about it as well.

The system was quiet about them so he wasn’t going to speculate uselessly as well.

Done with all the issues, he attended to the last issue regarding the system.

The party system.

[Party (1\10]

[A partner is someone you trust your life with

Someone who would be willing to go limb for limb for you

It’s like a family

And family is for life

Once made a party member, no one is breaking that sacred bond

Not even you]

[Effect(s):

With each party member’s growth, the user will gain a small enhancement in his growth as well (Depending on affection level)

The skills of the partner used when in the vicinity of the user have an increased effect depending on their affection level.

Once a day, the user can summon a party member or teleport to them (Cooldown: 24 hours and limited to one party member each)

…

…

…]

[Limitations:

Once made a party member, the party member would be permanent until death

Outside of natural causes, the death of a party member comes with a heavy penalty

The user would be required to help out the party members no matter what

Refusal wouldn’t be an option

Intense emotions would be felt for a party member regardless of gender]

[Current party member(s)]

[Natasha Bailey]

[Current affection: 30%]

Many of Wei Jun’s questions were answered just from the explanation. Of course, he was still left with many more but he had no way of knowing the answer except for one.

‘So?’ Wei Jun asked the system.

[The dots represent that there is more to this system but your level isn’t high enough yet or you have too few partners to unlock those perks]

[You have no fixed way of raising your party member’s affection]

[Some could take love, others some other emotion]

[There is no way of knowing]

[And yes, you are bound to them just as they are bound to you once the party member has been added so you have to be careful about that]

The system explained all the questions Wei Jun had in one breath and the best part was that Wei Jun didn’t even have to ask the questions.

Since he had no more questions at the moment, Wei Jun stood up and made his way out of his apartment. It was true he wanted to rest for the night but he wanted to get Xia Lu’s matter over with as soon as possible.

There was just one problem. Wei Jun didn’t have enough money to do so. Of course, anyone could learn a cultivation technique but Qi was a requirement and Qi had a higher chance of manifesting in someone who has cultivator parents.

Although Xia Lu’s mother was a cultivator, she wasn’t, and if she hadn’t awakened Qi yet, there was a chance she might not for the rest of her life.

Or maybe she could but Wei Jun couldn’t wait for that. There was no fixed way of knowing about that.

But there was a surefire way and that was the Qi awakening elixir Wei Jun consumed. Of course, the Phoenix tear was also an option but there was a chance it wouldn’t work on her like it didn’t work for him.

He liked to be prepared either way.

So, he was just a 1000 million short for the elixir. The bad news was that he was out of money. The good news was that since the first system update, the map expanded and many wealthy families appeared out of the sky.

Families he hadn’t robbed yet.

He wasn’t sure he would make 1 billion in a night, but there was no hope for those who didn’t even try in the first place.

“You’re here.” Zi Huan said, his face strained and a forced smile on his face. Of course, only Wei Jun noticed these details. Anyone else might not have.

“You okay?” Wei Jun asked.

“Why wouldn’t I be?” Zi Huan asked.

“Sure,” Wei Jun simply said, relaying how uninterested he was.

Of course, Wei Jun was worried when it came to Zi Huan since he was involved in something illegal, and if Wei Jun was somehow implicated, it would make things hard for him but he had enough backing to get out of almost anything.

Other than that, Wei Jun knew he had a very simple relationship with Zi Huan.

Seller and Buyer.

Nothing more, nothing less.

“I hope you have something I needed some time ago.” Wei Jun got straight to the point and asked.

Zi Hun nodded and said, “I have it. You will find it in this warehouse. I’m sure you know what to do with the warehouse after the extraction is done.”

Wei Jun nodded and asked, “And the price?”

Zi Huan slipped him a paper slip on which a name was written. “That’s my price,” Zi Huan said.

Wei Jun knew the name. It was none other than the current mayor’s competitor. Someone Wei Jun had no qualms with getting rid of but what he didn’t understand was what Zi Huan had to do with him.

Although Wei Jun wasn’t the type to interfere, he couldn’t afford to attack aimlessly in the dark without proper nighttime goggles.

In other words, Wei Jun wanted to know what the risks were.

“He has been trying to blackmail my family into sponsoring him. Let’s say he has something that can ruin the reputation of my father.” Zi Huan simply explained seeing Wei Jun’s inquisitive expression.

Wei Jun nodded and said, “I will see what I can do about it.”

Wei Jun turned and left the building, heading straight for the warehouse where the bike was supposed to be.
