"Holy moly… I am fucking rich," Jack said, his eyes shining brightly as saliva began to drip from his mouth.
What he saw were piles of different treasures—be it spirit stones , pills, weapons, artifacts, or even cultivation techniques.
"System, scan the most important items!"

"Hahaha! I'm no longer poor!" Jack said, letting out a hearty laugh.
"Of course, there were other treasures, but those were by far the most valuable."
"I should use this Root Ascension Pill now to raise my spiritual roots to the third level."
"But first, I should enter the cave—it's a safer place."
At the next moment, he entered the cave and sat down. Then He took the pill out from the storage ring.
And as soon as the pill slid down his throat, he immediately felt an agonizing pain rip through his whole body. His spiritual roots were being molded into something larger, thicker and brighter.
After several minutes of the root ascension, the extreme pain finally subsided.
After getting some rest,he started to absorb some Qi to see the effect of his roots ascension, and as he did he started to laugh maniacally as he felt the amount by which his spiritual roots absorbed Qi had increased tenfold.
Now, I understand why sects treat disciples with lower grade spiritual roots with contept, as if they are a disposable things. They are looked down upon, given the worst tasks, and forced to struggle for every chance to improve.
The difference is like a chasm that can't be overwhelmed just by effort."
"Hmmm, now my spiritual roots had advanced to the third level. This makes my talent above average, and combined with my bloodline, it makes me a genius," Jack said with a faint smile.
I should take some sleep now as I am fucking tired, Jack said with a yawn. He bought a bed for 200 mp, and in the next moment he fell asleep.
~~~~~
After twelve hours of deep sleep, sunlight streamed into the cave, waking Jack up.
"Oh, I feel refreshed again," Jack said, stretching his body.
"Now I should leave this damn forest," Jack muttered as he got off the bed and left the cave. As always, this forest was so windy. On his way through the forest, he encountered multiple beasts who didn't know how to live.
They ranged between the level of fifth and ninth stage Qi disciples. He slayed them easily, as his dragon bloodline had made his combat power surge to a point where it is equal to that of a fourth-level master.

"Hahaha, now that's more like it!" Jack laughed, feeling the surge of his newfound strength coursing through him.
His laugh abruptly came to an end when he suddenly heard the sound of horses approaching.
Finally! I am saved from this cursed forest. Its name shouldn't be Darkwind, but rather Dark Maze.
He approached the sound of horses running, and what met his eyes were two horses pulling a carriage, with the driver, and some guards.
He then leapt forward, running toward them, and when he came very close, a shout rang out from inside the carriage … "Halt!"
Suddenly, an old man with dark black hair and a matching beard leapt from the carriage, radiating an oppressive aura.
He is dangerous… these were the first thoughts that came to Jack's mind as he sensed the old man's aura.
"System, scan him,"
Ding!
