"You have mastered all 3 Arts?" First Elder was surprised.

"Yes, I have"

Sun Zhen proudly said it. Even if he used the Block and not much training were put into it, it was still his hard work on commands.

"You are pretty fast, I thought that the Arts would take you a month to learn. Show me the Arts" First Elder said.

Sun Zhen then performed the 3 Arts.

His Qi punch destroyed wood logs.

His Cloud Step let him ran faster than a professional athlete. (No speed modified shoe)

The Copper Body was a great defense Art for him. He used a small dagger to stab himself but it didn't even scratch his skin.

All those Arts were copied by Sun Zhen after Xiao Ying showed.

After done performing, First Elder was thinking deeply about how Sun Zhen performed the Arts.

"How is that work, the Arts instructions aren't right but the results are the same...This kid is full of secret" First Elder nodded and satisfied with his performance.

After that, First Elder and Sun Zhen went back to training but this time, he had to train with 3 balls.

2 balls on hands and one ball near the chest which he had to use Qi to hold it.

"The training is getting more harder" Sun Zhen thought as he was trying to hold the balls.

During the training, he dropped the balls 26 times. Not a bad result but still bad.

When his training was done, he was asked to stay back a bit as First Elder had a mission for him.

"Tomorrow you have no class or training so I have something for you to do" First Elder then brought out a black ring and gave it to him.

"This is a storage ring. Your task is to bring this to Grandma Jun and she is outside the clan"

The moment he touched the ring, he had the code and he was astonished.

"Over 300 lines. No wonder this type of ring is so expensive and rare in the novels" Sun Zhen thought.

Sun Zhen then left with the ring and a map which was given by First Elder.

*The next day*

In the morning, Sun Zhen was near the clan gate and was reading his map.

He looked different from usual days as he changed his clothes. It looked very high quality, the light black color made it look cooler which attract some attention.

"So Grandma Jun's place is on the North end of the city" He always wanted to go out and saw the city with his own eyes.

As he went out of the gate, he could see buildings and people.

It was just like in the movies and TV series, it looked not much different from inside the clan but it was better in one way, no one wore the same damn clothes.

He could see more adults working and kids playing, this was normal and he liked it.

"it is a nice change of taste, almost every day I just see people meditating" Sun Zhen thought as he walked.

About 10 minutes later, he came into a street that mainly sold food and the smell was very enchanting.

"I should try some" Seeing people eating while the food smell rushed into his nose, he decided to buy some.

[Coin]

With one command, the Silver Coins (Basic currency) started appearing on his hand but no one noticed.

"Miss, I want this 2 sticks" Sun Zhen wanted meat sticks, he didn't know that meat was but it still looked delicious.

"1 Silver please"

Sun Zhen paid and he took 2 sticks. He then ate one and it was very good, oily but still good.

As he was eating his second, he saw a commotion in front.

"Brat, you have a lot of guts. Trying to steal my bread again?"

"Let me go, it's hurt"

A fat middle-aged man was holding a young boy's arm but seemed like he was crushing the boy's arm.

"You have been trying to steal mine so many times, you are going with me to the guard"

"Please *Crying* I and my family is just *Crying* too hungry"

The boy started crying but the man didn't care while people around didn't want to get involved.

As they were about to leave, a tall young man dressed in black appeared before them.

"Sir I will pay for the bread the kid just steal and I want to buy 10 pieces of bread from you"

It was Sun Zhen, he wanted to help the boy as he had the ability to help someone in need.

His dad once taught him that if you have power and money, you can choose to help them as much as you want.

"Please stop helping this punk, this kid is a thief and he is going the guards" The man wasn't swayed and he wanted to get rid of the boy.

"How about 20 Silver" Sun Zhen didn't know much about the economy but he was sure it was a lot.

"Of course, you can buy for him"

When he heard that this idiot willing to pay 20 silver for just some bread, he immediately changed.

While people started whispering on how dumb Sun Zhen was, he didn't care and paid the man with 20 silvers that he coded.

"Hey kid, take this bag of bread" As Sun Zhen gave the bag to the kid, his hand was trembling when he received the bag.

"Tha...Thanks, Mister" After saying thanks to him, the kid ran away.

Without anything left to do, Sun Zhen walked to his task destination.

"Wow, there are seas of people"

When he reached the place, it was a huge building with a sign "Jun Pill House"

"Pill? I hope they have pill refiners from novels"

It explained why there was a lot of people, it was the place where they bought medicines.

"Hey you, are you guy that bring the ring to Grandma Jun?" When he was watching the sign, a woman came next to him and asked.

"...Yes?!"

"Great, follow me. Grandma Jun is waiting"

As Sun Zhen followed her, he asked how did she guess that he was the one she looking for.

"It's pretty easy, usually only normal people came here while cultivators have their own entrance. You are leaking a lot of Qi so I know you must be the one"

When he reached the 2nd floor, he found out the place was full of cultivators and they were queue in line in front of a door.

As they pass one person after another, the people in queue raised their eyebrow then one person spoke up.

"To think that Grandma Jun would break the rules, especially for just a brat like this"

Sun Zhen didn't know what rules he was talking about but he was indeed a brat to them, they were over 2 meters tall.

"Sir, he is here to deliver some important ingredients for Madam Jun. He is just a delivery boy" The woman politely said.

"Oh, sorry. My mistake, please go on" The man didn't speak more and went back to his queue.

After that, they got into the room without any problem.

The room setup was what Sun Zhen expected, pill furnaces and a lot of herbs around. Now, this is a Pill room.

"Now get out" Suddenly a short old woman appeared with a tall middle age man and she was pushing him away despite her look.

"Madam Jun. Please just let me watch your Pill refining technique, I will pay you 5 Spirit stone (SS) for it" The man said.

"Do I look like I am lacking SS? Now get out" The man sighed and left the room.

"You there? Are you the one that Old Bastard send?" The old lady pointed at Sun Zhen and it only took him a moment to realize that she was talking about his Laoshi.

"Yes that's my Laoshi"

"So you admit that he is Old bastard" The old lady laughed

"What? No..." He denied.

"HAHA, I just kidding with you. You are so cute" The old lady pinched his cheek then took the ring from his finger.

"Let see what the Old Bastard wants" With one swipe on the ring, many items flew out and landed om the table while a piece of note landed on her hand.

She then read it carefully while placing the ingredients into the furnace.

After she finished, she walked to him and "touched" every part on his upper body.

"Should this count as sexual harassment?" Sun Zhen thought.

"Hum, that Old bastard is right. You almost exhausted and damaged your foundation after becoming a Juqi. You, wait" She said as she pointed him at a chair then she went to the furnace.

"The pill will be ready shortly so just sit there"

She pointed her hand under the furnace and fire started.

Waved her hand, all ingredients inside the furnace floated and spin around. Sun Zhen was so excited to see how pill maker did.

But thinking that he could try to copy her, he used the commands.

[...Insufficient information--Time to finish: 62 years]

This was what he expected, it was too profound which could take a long time to analyze.

Sighed, he just sat there and watched her.

For a while, black smoke started to come out of the furnace while the ingredients were getting smaller and started fusing together.

"Haaa" She shouted as she closed her hand and the ingredients forcefully fused together like they were being crushed.

When the fire was burned out, a green pill was taken out from the furnace.

"Kid, here your pill. Take it already so the effect will be at its best" She threw the pill to Sun Zhen.

The code started appearing in his mind after he touched the pills, it was over 100 lines but he didn't care (The pill code was saved into the Block) and eat the pill.

Soon, Sun Zhen had a weird feeling inside and it was like something was connected together.

"I feel so great" Not too long after that, he felt Qi surging inside the body and cool feeling overwhelm his mind.

"Your foundation has been healed back to its peak, now you can take out Qi easier" The old lady started drinking tea.

"Thanks, Grandma Jun" He cupped his two hands as a sign of respect.

"Okay, enough with that. Now leave, I still have many customers and tell that Old Bastard that he owes me 20 SS for the pill"

Sun Zhen walked out while applying Cloud Step to have faster movement as he wanted to check if it was true that he could take out Qi easier.

After he left, the woman walked to the old lady.

"Did you perform that so-called Pill Refining to awe him?"

"What do you know? I want him to see us as more superior than those Potion Maker...Now get back to work and called others to go in"

---

Sun Zhen ran so fast that it left a small wind behind him while people avoided him as they knew he was a Cultivator.

<Rumbble> His stomach was making a sound as he was hungry.

"Maybe go back to that street for some food" He still remembered where the street was so he was there less than 10 minutes.

"5 please" He was at a junk food stall while creating a bunch of Silver in his hand.

"2 Silver...please wait"

As he was waiting, he heard someone was crying and asking for help so he looked at the direction.

It was the same boy that he saved but there was blood on his face which made the people around wanted to avoid him.

Sun Zhen walked to the boy and called him.

"Hey, kid! Are you alright"

"...Mister, please *Crying* help" Realizing who Sun Zhen was, he ran to him and held his clothes. Blood and tear-stained his clothes but Sun Zhen didn't care.

"Okay calm down" He found out that blood wasn't from the boy and he saw a bruising on his head.

"Help *Crying*, please" The kid didn't stop crying and still asking for help which proved that he was traumatized.

"Hey young man, hand us the boy"

Sun Zhen looked up and saw 2 muscular men holding swords in their hand.

"Man, trouble always come MC" Sun Zhen thought.
