The Upgrade System

Dan went into the forest but unlike usual, he was there to collect as many herbs as he could.

As Dan went through the forest collecting the herbs, other cultivators who were out hunting looked strangely at him.

Someone even stopped and asked him," Are you ok? Do you need me to take you back to the village?"

Dan replied, "I am ok, thanks for the offer though."

'He must have thought I've gone crazy picking up "useless" herbs.'

Dan went almost the entire day picking herbs and being embarrassed because of other people looking at him like an idiot.

Dan went back to his house started to refine pills. He managed to make 25, level 1 healing pills with his 100% success rate.

'I am sure I only have that success rate because of the system after all even though I know how to make pills, I don't believe I am some sort of genius at making pills.'

'There's one problem, I have the pills but I can only take one thing so what do I do with the other pills. Ahhh, I should've thought of that before making the pills.'

'I think I can trade the pills for a high-level armor because I only have 6 stats in defense. This means that even though I can do a lot of damage, I can't block a lot of damage.'

With that set and done, Dan decided to go to the auction house tomorrow morning wearing a disguise.

'Even though I am ranked higher than the village chief in cultivation, there could be hidden cultivators in the village. I have only been cultivating for 11 months, if I show up with my current cultivation, those hidden figures, if they exist might think I have some godly item and want to kill me for it. I would rather be safe than sorry.'

In the morning, Dan woke up and went to the market place to buy a couple of face-changing masks. With the mask, he could change his face to anyone he thought of but the effect would only last for a day and the mask was very expensive.

Dan disguised himself as a 40-year-old man and removed his fake cultivation level before going to the auction hall.
