Chapter 9: Coming Back and Guest
"That was a bit unexpected," He thought after coming back to his world
This system just took him to a different world with a completely different spiritual energy and different power level and told him to protect Gu Xun'er from being taken advantage of by Xiao Yan.
But he ended up helping her in a completely different case and even giving her a cultivation technique.
He didn't even know why he explained everything to that girl.
Maybe it was because he thought that she was just a pitiful little girl who had to go through such pain day and night.
Maybe it was just because he felt responsible after all; he was the one who made her future uncertain by destroying her relationship with the Son of Destiny.
Maybe he did it just because he could and wanted to; after all, he wasn't a kind person as far as he could say about himself.
However, if he has the ability to do it, and it wouldn't hurt him or anything if he did, he wouldn't mind helping others.
Looking at the 5000 points he got from the mission, he let out a sigh.
"It seems like it's going to take a lot of time to get a billion points."
But he wasn't disappointed after all; contrary to the previous despair, he now had hope, and that was enough.
Although he didn't know how long it would take but, he will eventually reach there.
As he was sighing about his future,
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission of Rescuing the goddess.
Mission: Help Gu Xun'er in subduing the Strange Fire.
Rewards: 10,000 system Points]
Hearing the notification, Ling Tian was surprised,
He never thought there would be something like a hidden mission, but then again, that's why it was called a hidden mission.
But still, he didn't expect that his extra kindness or something he did on a whim would reward him with ten thousand extra points, which were double what he got from the main rescue mission.
But then again, maybe because the main mission was quite easy so, the rewards were less.
If he hadn't helped Xun'er and given her that cultivation technique to subdue the strange fire, he wouldn't have gotten these extra points.
Closing his eyes, recalling what someone said to him
"Somethings happen just because they do" he let out a smile.
As he looked toward the bright sun shining in the sky.
It seems like a few hours have passed here since he went to that world called "Battle Through the Heavens" .
He didn't even spend the whole night there, and as far as he could feel, although the spiritual energies of the two worlds were different, the concentration of energy in that place was quite the same as this world.
It seemed that the Time ratio of both worlds was almost the same.
The time ratio of the different worlds depends upon the strength of his world and the world he travels to.
Not thinking much about this issue, he took out the Soul Nourishing Saliva that he brought earlier from the system store and took it.
And just as he did so, he felt a cooling sensation inside his soul nourishing it, but it was just like a small drop of liquid in a large ocean.
Almost negligible, but still, something is better than nothing.
Although he had many exercises for the soul which could increase his soul power and at the same time also heal his soul but that could only be used after reaching Tier 3, which seemed to be around the True Spirit realm in this world.
It seems like he needed to buy a soul cultivation exercise.
So, for now, he didn't use the Eighth Grade Alchemist inheritance as his Soul still couldn't bear the strain,
Standing up, he went towards his room.
.
.
.
A few days passed as he continued his daily schedule, mainly focusing on cultivation and basking in the Sun when he wasn't; basically, that was his everyday schedule.
He has also gotten a few system points checking in daily, and after a few days, he has gradually amassed more than 20000 Points again.
Also checking the System store daily, he saw that there were also World Travel Tickets in the store.
It seems like he could still travel to different worlds even if there weren't any missions.
Although he really wanted to visit some other worlds and enhance his strength by the way, but the ticket prices immediately poured ice-cold water on his thoughts.
These world tickets were too costly and also had a time limit of only a few hours for some, while some had a maximum time limit of a week.
He didn't want to waste so many points just to spend a few hours in a world.
Aside from this, he also found out that he could also sell things like various pills or exercises to the system.
Seeing this, he first couldn't help but exclaim with joy; after all, he came from a powerful clan with tons of resources,
So he thought he'd be able to collect a billion points easily after returning to the clan and revive his wife.
But, his expectations gradually vanished when he saw that after selling things, what he gets are something called
"𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬" which can't be used in the system store and can be only used in 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐮𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞 to buy Artifacts, Formations, and Runes which he had no use of now, after all, he was already safe in the sect, and he was only in qi gathering stage now.
Well, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
"Knock Knock"
A knocking sound could be heard on the door, which brought him out of his reverie.
And he could more or less guess who it was; after all, everyone knew in the sect that he liked to stay alone, so he was assigned a place in a remote area of the Sect, and except for some sect elders and his Aunt or Sister which takes care of him no one comes to this place.
If it were any elder, then they would have only knocked once or twice, but hearing the continuous knocking on the door
he was sure that if he hadn't locked the door beforehand, the person would have entered directly.
"Coming," He said to the person outside and only then did the knocking stop.
Opening the door, he looked at the Beautiful woman in front of him, and he was surprised.
She was wearing a simple white dress, but her calm and beautiful face carried a sense of gracefulness and nobility that the simple dress she wore could not hide.
Even though he has seen a lot of beautiful women in his previous life, she would not lose to any of them in terms of appearance and temperament
well.. except for his wife.
But still, this kind of temperament was not something that a simple outer elder of a sect could have.
Though he didn't care much about her identity after all, he knew that this woman had treated him dearly since he came to this sect, and even now, he could feel the care, kindness and affection in her eyes towards him like he was her relative which was a strange sight he was not used to in his previous life and it warmed his heart.
