While Others Cultivate I Abuse My Money Grubbing System

"Hoo, finally I've reached the Soul Opening Realm." A young man muttered to himself. He looked to be about 16 and was rather handsome, along with the luxurious robes he wore one would think of him as a young scion and they would be correct.

This was Ben, well formerly Ben, that was his past life after all, and a life Ben, well now Clip, didn't like to think about much. Not like his current life was much better.

Born in the Black Sky Clan, an overlord in the surrounding 10 Regions, the Clan had an astounding history dating back 100,000 years. On top of that he was born to the current Clan Head, Abyssal Sky Ouranos a genius not seen in the past 10,000 years of the Clan's history. The only problem. His father was a deviant to put it lightly, having over 100 wives and almost as many children.

Clip was merely one of many children, almost completely overlooked. His talent was mediocre, and his mother was no one special to the Clan Head. Meaning his position and resources while excellent compared to other places, were merely mediocre within the scope of the Clan.

Not to mention that a Clan such as the Black Sky Clan with as many possible heirs as there were, was rife with schemes and assassinations. Because of all this Clip was rather worried and had decided to move to the Dust Region to escape the conflict.

'At least with my Soul Opening cultivation base I can be considered an expert in the Dust Region.' Clip thought to himself. Out of the 10 Regions that the Black Sky Clan controlled the Dust Region was by far the weakest, with Spirit Refinement cultivators being the pinnacle of the entire Region.

To put this into perspective, the Realms of cultivation were as follows, Qi Gathering, Qi Condensation, Soul Opening, Spirit Refinement, Spirit Forging, Spirit King, Spirit Emperor, and you get the point. In comparison even a random guard in the Black Sky Clan would be at the Peak of Spirit Refinement.

All things considered it obviously made more sense for Clip to stay within the Black Sky Clan, but he preferred his freedom and safety over the possibility of reaching a higher cultivation Realm. After all what use was becoming a Spirit King if he was dead?

'Hmm I wonder what my soul looks like.' He thought to himself before inspecting his Soul Palace. Upon entering the Soul Opening Realm one would unlock their Soul Palace and be able to thus inspect their Soul and cultivate Soul Energy.

Delving into his Soul Palace, it was rather plain being a simple pure white building, within was a similarly pure white Soul but what amazed Clip was the size of his soul. On average upon reaching the Soul Opening Realm one's Soul would be about as big as their physical body, but his was easily 3 meters tall.

'Could this be the affect of reincarnating?' But before he could delve further into this train of thought, his Soul began shrinking in size until it was about as big as his physical body. And then a ding resounded.

"DING!"

Seeing this Clip was shocked. He'd always dreamed of awakening a Golden Finger, or some special talent but after living in this world for 16 years he had already lost all hope. But now he'd gotten one! He was happier now than he ever was in his past life, and that was saying something.

"Good thing I wasn't the father....but god damn 100,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones! Not even all my life savings aren't worth that much!" Clip shouted out within his Soul Palace but he soon recollected himself.

That was an upgrade and with his extensive knowledge on systems from reading many many novels, he was certain that the other features would be significantly cheaper and in fact he was correct.

Tapping on Comprehension Multiplier a sub-interface popped up.

Comprehension Multiplier: x1 >>> x2

Cost: 100 Middle Grade Qi Stones

[Upgrade?]

'Now that is a price I can afford. First lets see if this works outside of my Soul Palace.' With that thought Clip exited his Soul Palace, and was pleasantly surprised when the system interface was still within view.

He then decided to check the Qi Talent and Soul Energy Multipliers.

>>==--==

Qi Talent Multiplier: x1 >>> x2

Cost: 1 Middle Grade Qi Stone

[Upgrade?]

>>==--==

>>==--==

Soul Energy Multiplier: x1 >>> x2

Cost: 1 High Grade Qi Stone

[Upgrade?]

>>==--==

Seeing this he obviously realised that the price varied between multipliers, but fortunately it wasn't in a way that was detrimental to him. "While a High Grade Qi Stone is slightly harder to find its value is about equal to 100 Middle Grade Qi Stones.''

That being said Clip was still a Young Master, and a Young Master of a top Clan at that. Activating his spatial ring 200 Middle Grade Qi Stones, and 10 High Grade Qi Stones immediately appeared before him.

"Time to reach the apex!"
