To be very honest, I took too much time on the pacing for the introductory chapters, forcing it to stretch for 30 chapters. If you are feeling impatient, you can actually skip to around chapter 20+. As for the specific chapter where he claims physique, that's before chapter 30. As for the bloodline it is before chapter 35. Arc 1, the intro, ends at 30. So, the novel truly starts around there.

Yes, that's right.

I'd like to argue that he has been a homebody since even his previous life - the kind of NEET that became a game streamer - but I can't deny you make a valid point. Thank you for your feedback, I will try to improve my characters' consistency.

I don't know about you but getting a huge bonus from scoring a big customer (transaction) would make me skip like that. As for seeing him again, of course she hopes so, but that is it, she could only hope.

Well, in my opinion, it can't be helped. Every business can't be run by only the owner himself. Talents need to be recruited. As for people that MC can trust, as he has remained in his courtyard all these years, interacting with no one but Dou E, who does he have? He can only look outside. Besides, after exploring the Auction House, he found that there was a living quarters there (the structure of the Auction House is explained in more detail in a chapter before 30) and he can knock his workers out before taking him in there. Slap on an Oath or Contract and his secret is safe. Besides, there is still the system to keep an eye on things in worst case scenario. He has a system, so why not rely on it a bit?

In what way precisely? Personally, I just wanted to make him somewhat naive at the start to create room for character growth, but I am not too sure if I am doing it right.

Cultivation Levels 10 Mortality-Transcending: Qi Refining < Foundation Establishment < Core Formation < Nascent Soul < Soul Transformation < Soulshift < Void Refining < Grand Unity < Karma Severing < Mahayana/Cataclysm. 10 Immortal: Imminent < True < Mystic < Golden < Venerable < King < Emperor < Saint < Ancient < Zenith Heaven. 10 Divine/God: Nascent God < True God < Sage < Great Sage < Perfect Sage < Dao Origin/Source < Dao Lord < Dao King < Dao Emperor < Dao Ancestor. All these Major Cultivation levels are further divided into 10 Minor Levels. Minor Levels 1-3 = Early-stage. Minor Levels 4-6 = Middle-stage. Minor Levels 7-9 = Late-stage. Minor Level 10 = Peak-stage. 10 Minor * 30 Major Levels = 300 levels. As for why the people of Pacified Grace Star and some other mortal worlds can only reach the ninth minor stages in their cultivation realms, that is related to the Heavenly Dao of their world. Yan Anle has the system so the Heavenly Dao's limitations has nothing to do with him. Cast: Yan Anle - Protagonist. Dou E - Yan Anle's loyal maid and original love interest. Sun Ruoyun - Older of the Twin Sisters. Empress of the Burning Mountain Demon Race. Absolute genius of her race, being the only one born without horns in their recorded history. Sun Ziyun - Younger of the Twin Sisters. Is unihorned and hence should have been one of the brightest stars in her generation, but is overshadowed by her freak of a sister. ... The Martial Dao also exists in this Universe but it is very low-end and only found in many mortal worlds. The realms are Ninth to First-rank Martial Artist < Innate < Martial Grandmaster < Martial King < Martial Emperor < Martial Saint < Martial God. Ninth-stage Qi Gathering can already kill Martial Emperors as long as the Immortal Daoist does not allow the Martial Daoist get too close. ... Rankings Pill Rankings: Mortality-Transcending < Immortal < Divine. Each is further divided into Ten Tiers, each corresponding to a major cultivation realm. Each Tier is further divided by quality into Good, Very Good, Pill Veins/Excellent, and Pill Clouds/Perfect! Anything below Good would not be considered a successful Pill but a failed product. It is worth mentioning that while Pills are counted from Ninth-grade as the lowest to First-grade as the peak, the reverse is the case for alchemists where 1-star is the lowest and 9-star is the peak. Artifacts & Talismans: Spirit < Profound < Earth < Heaven < Low-Tier Immortal < Mid-Tier Immortal < High-Tier Immortal < Great Immortal < Low-Tier Divine < Mid-Tier Divine < High-Tier Divine < Ancient. Special Physiques, Spirit Roots, and Bloodlines are divided into: Spirit < Profound < Earth < Heaven < Immortal < Divine < Ancient. Forces (Clans/Sects/Etc.): Ninth-grade to First-grade Force, Tenth-grade to First-grade Immortal Force, and Tenth-grade to First-grade Divine Force! How it goes is, a Ninth-grade Force is one that has Foundation Establishment figures at its helm. A Lower Ninth-grade Force means one that only has Early-stage Foundation Establishment figures. Then, First-grade Divine Force is on that has the highest God-level cultivators at its helm. Techniques: Techniques are ranked as thus: Mortality-Transcending (Spirit < Profound < Earth < Heaven), Immortal Techniques (Mystic < King < Ancient < Zenith), Divine Arts (True Divine < Sage < Imperial] < Ancient). Mystic-grade Immortal Techniques can be used up to the Mystic Immortal Realm. King is for up to Immortal King, etc. ... Note: As at now, I'm not sure if I will write anything beyond when MC ascends to Immortality so, these cultivation realms and treasure rankings beyond Mahayana/Cataclysm and Heaven-grade may be used in potential future novels based in the same Universe.
