The Upgrade System

In the following week after knowing about the auction Dan started to go hunting every day, he mostly tried to hunt beasts around the same level as him.

He managed to earn a total of 45 silver and 24 copper.

He also managed to level up to get to level 4 but now he needs 800 Exp in order to level up.

'This is going to take a long time especially because it is harder to find higher-ranked beasts in the forest meaning less Exp but I got a lot stronger.'

[Name: Dan]

->[Qi Gathering Stage 4]

[HP: 40/40]

[Exp: 40/800]

'I actually killed 3 new beasts and got 3 lucky boxes but I used one which got me the item Hidden orb. It allows me to set a fake cultivation stage which is lower than my actual stage for myself and everyone below the Foundation stage can only see that stage.'

'The only person, I told the village chief that I have only reached the 3rd stage because I don't want him to be too shocked.'

'I didn't want to tell him of my stage but I need to sell the beasts to someone.'

Dan got ready and went to the auction. As he got there he realized that for this auction, only cultivators were allowed to go inside.

As the auction was about to start, there were a lot of people looking at the back. It was the younger generation of the 2 most powerful family arguing.

The Kek village had 3 main powers, the village chief, the Holt family, and the Copper family.

The younger generation eventually managed to settle down and the auction began.

The auction started with some weapons and armors that Dan didn't need but he still paid attention because he could probably only buy the things in the beginning section with his money.

In the middle portion of the auction, the auctioneer brought out a red fruit.

"We actually don't know what fruit this is but we have estimated that this is a very rare fruit because we have only found one and no one seems to know what it is."

Dan checked the stats of the fruit.

[Name: Vermillion fruit]

[Age: 500-year-old (Not Mature)]

[Effects: A permanent increase in talent (Doubles the exp gained when cultivating)]
