Inside of the bottle was a little dagger with a letter wrapped around it. Brave pulled out the dagger and sighed not happy with his randomly generated reward. Out of the 200 inheritance treasures he put in the game, this item would perhaps be only a mid-ranked beginner inheritance treasure.
Low rank inheritance treasures came with one passive skill for the sect, while mid-grade and high-grade treasures came with two and three passive skills respectively. He took out the dagger, and unfolded the letter, before he saw the name of the dagger was the Whitestone Infinity dagger.
He started doubting his original grime outlook after seeing the name infinity inside of the jade slip. Because the name infinity was found in the dagger, he already knew what one of the passive skills was about! His mouth nearly dropped off his face, almost breaking his jaw, as he saw he had received an emperor's heart passive skill that was associated with the word infinity in the code.
The emperor's heart boosted the morale of the miners and cultivators thereby increasing their loyalty and reducing building costs. Basically, there was an unwritten rule that some of the resources would go to the miners and cultivators during construction.
However, with emperor's heart, this cost would be reduced by 25 percent! As for the other passive skill called tiger eye, it only extended the range he could see on the map by 5 percent.
It was a fairly shitty passive skill but may or may not save him if his opponents hid on the periphery of his base. As for the servant next to him, she had trouble reading Brave's countenance, and looked somewhat nervous seeing him contemplate so menacingly.
"I'm guessing the item you found is satisfactory emperor? For some reason, while you are holding it, I feel like my heart is throbbing as I look at you."
"It's perhaps one of the best mid-grade inheritance items I could have found. However, Lively, you must swear an oath on the heavens you won't tell any of the servants about this… Swear!"
Lively gulped and immediately nodded her head. After all, this was the emperor, and his word was tantamount to a god! She didn't understand why she couldn't tell her beloved sisters, but she made an oath to the heavens.
Brave had to worry about hex's that may be used on later in the game from devil's path cultivators. Devil's path cultivators were extremely wicked and vile and would rely on deceit and murder to increase their cultivator's strength.
He had no idea if that type of play had become popular in the millions of years after he died! However, seeing that Lively had sworn an oath, his heart calmed as he walked back into the sect hall.
He immediately started building a sect recruitment center as two bloodied cultivators walked into the sect. They had just somehow managed to defeat the insect monsters, and dropped a few strange items onto the table.
Brave had commanded for them to do so, and then sent them immediately back to the spiritual stone formation to gather energy. He couldn't slow down for a second or else his opponents would surely chomp him to bits!
However, the items he had gathered on the table would be extremely important towards an alchemist. There were five insect hearts on the table, which could be used in basic pill formulas. However, unfortunately, getting an alchemist would take a really long time.
He quickly ate some food with Lively as his sect recruitment center was built. He then summoned Tokugawa after arriving by the gate. This man would be the perfect 'scout' to send to town.
"Tokugawa, I have a really important mission for your bastard self. I want you to go to the nearest town and ask them to send their strongest individuals here."
"If you get killed along the way, don't worry, I promise I will revenge your death when I feel like it…" Brave pointed towards the direction that the blacksmith apprentice told him about. He needed someone to alert the nearby villages, and even though the chances of death were high, what a better person to send than Tokugawa?
This bastard not only profited off his death! He also got reincarnated to play a game with him! If he didn't give him the most dangerous missions, he wouldn't feel like he was truly repaying this schmuck for the bullet to his head!
Tokugawa bowed and responded, "yes, master." The sadness in his eyes was palpable but not nearly enough to repay for murdering him at thirteen!
"Good… If you spot any cultivators along the way, run for your life and pray that I save you… However, perhaps next time you'll rethink shooting your best friend in the head?"
Tokugawa nodded his head and walked off towards the nearest village on a suicidal mission. Of course, even if he died, Brave wouldn't feel any remorse. However, seeing him like a subservient dog, put on a leash, he started to doubt if it was right to be harsh towards him.
Nonetheless, at this moment, the miners were already done with the sect recruitment center, and Brave needed men to test for spiritual roots as soon as possible!
Even though some people would wander over towards his sect, based on his luck stat of 10, sending Tokugawa to town was the best option. The chances of finding a cultivator was one in a hundred, who were considered inner sect disciples.
As for miners, they were men in the outer sect who would train in a cultivation manual hoping to ignite their energy gathering abilities. Even finding an inner sect disciple with broken spiritual roots only occurred in one out of every ten visitors.
He immediately had to ask one of his miners to stop gathering gems from the dust factory to man the sect recruitment stall. Luckily, five men in horse and carriage were already on the road and immediately walked up to the stall.
Brave stood next to the stall as the five men approached eagerly hoping to enter into the sect. However, one of them shoved past Brave and pushed him into the dirt on his way to the testing crystals.
"Move out of the way you little shit! Papa finally is getting a chance to join a sect!"
"Yeah, little shits like you don't deserve to be on line. Look at you with your torn robes. Go beg for some money in town!"
Two of the men laughed as the other three gulped seeing Brave on the floor.
As for Brave, he stood there in disbelief. Even as the emperor, he was getting picked on! It reminded him of when he first entered Penn State University, the days before he befriended Tokugawa. Every day he'd go to eat in the lunch room before they'd attack him just like these two-insolent plebs!
He immediately walked over towards the insolent guy who was already testing at the recruitment center, and tapped him on the back. The man could only look back and scoff.
"You actually got off the floor beggar? Do you need daddy to give you a tip!"
"Yeah, get lost you scum bag! You are dirtying this sects grounds…"
The miner behind the stall ignored this and kept testing the visitors. Brave had already commanded him to not intervene, and felt the true presence of a cultivator descend into his body.
He immediately pulled him by the hair, and took out his new knife. As if sacrificing this cultivator to the gods, he put the knife against his throat seeing his crystal glow white.
What did a white crystal mean?
It meant he had no talent!
His blood fell out of his throat as he powerlessly toppled over onto the floor. As for Brave, he satisfyingly told his miner to kill his friend with a pickaxe leaving the other three men stunned.
These two men were clearly idiots not recognizing the clothes on Brave's back! Even though it was torn, he was clearly wearing clothes of a sect member! Perhaps even the sect leaders' clothes!
The other three men in front of him bowed as blood tripped down around them. Brave smiled and looked at their results.
"You three truly have good eyes. Unfortunately, only one of you can be a miner. However, you other two, I will give you two gems each if you tells your villages about this sect recruitment stall…"
"For every ten men you get to come here, I will give you one more gem! Please thank this magnanimous master for these two gems, and hurry!"
The two men bowed and couldn't believe their eyes. A gem could be used to exchange for a prodigious amount of wealth! They took the two gems and ran off leaving one man left.
Brave walked off with the other man over towards the sect, and handed him a cultivation manual and a pick axe. He patted him on the shoulder and told him the rules.
"If you finish the first level of the cultivation manual, I as emperor promise you will become a cultivator! Even immortality will be at your grasp with me as your leader."
"What's your name?" Brave then said, "What do you want me to call you?"
The man put the pick axe on his shoulder and proudly "Tobe Akihito" came out of his mouth. "I will serve you well, emperor, and I will do any job you require to make you the worlds ruler!"
"Just work your hardest to become a cultivator and start mining. If we are lucky, I will find the ultimate inheritance treasure, and make you a true cultivator with ease…"
"There is such a treasure dear emperor?" Akihito couldn't believe such a thing could exist. "Would it really be possible for me to ascend the stars towards heaven?"
