Meanwhile somewhere inside the clan building the higher ups of the clan were Holding a meeting, Helios just came to join them right after he has taken care of Cyra, the moment he entered the room he was confronted by questioning from the Vice-Leaders and the Elders.
"Why did you and Herald named her heir? She isn't strong at all.. it would have benefited the clan more if we chosen the heir based on strength, that large amount of money will only be wasted by an outsider." Said Helia Ember.
"You Might be right, but without benefits we can't keep her, the dragon lineage that she possesses is strong, also the dragon is still alive which makes it impossible for us to seal it, all of you were present to see how it raged when we tried" said Helios.
"Still why heir? She wasn't born in the clan, she have no right to take the position of the leader, and you should know the best heirs only can become leaders if they reach the cultivation of a Essence Fighter, and they also automatically will be recognized as ancestors the moment her cultivation reaches Essence Master." Said Hestia Ember.
Herold stood up and stomped his feet into the ground with great force, than said angrily, - "Stop bickering already, did all of you forget why we hold the selection every year? We need her to earn us the second half of the Mark Of The Dragon, we were only been able to obtain the first half yet the technique is already so strong."
"How about this, the secret realm will open in 6 years, she will be around 12 years old by the time, we will simply send her away into one of the 6 academies so she will lose the right to inherit the Clan leader position." Said Helios. This was a brilliant idea, everyone was agreeing with Helios suggestion and the mood turned to the better.
Herald coughed a few times than changed the subject, - "Did we managed to get any information on why the sects started to lessen their requirement towards the joining disciplines?"
"It's appears that they suffered heavy casualties and they need of reinforcements has forced them to do so." Said Head Elder Hugo Ember.
"Did they started a war with each other's?" Asked Herald with an amused expression.
"No we have no idea, but there is a rumor that something came from the other side of the barrier which forced them to send large number of Essence Fighters and Essence Masters." Said Head Elder Hugo Ember.
"Well interesting, Thank you everyone to attend the meeting this late at night" Said Herald and walked towards Helios and gave him a ring, - "Give this storage right to Cyra, there is also her monthly allowance inside" after saying all this Herald patted his son shoulder and walked away.
Helios looked inside the storage ring and was shocked speechless, she is a clever monster I'm not exactly sure if I made the right choice, after some thinking Helios also left.
...
The next day after waking up the first thing Cyra did was checking out the paper that Helios has given him, on the paper was information about the clan structure and the city currency.

The moment Cyra was about to get up knocking could be heard on her door, so she just put her robes on and went to open the door, to her surprise she found Helios whose face was red from embarrassment he wasn't expecting that Cyra was still not dressed so without saying a word he gave her the ring and left.
System what is this?
[Host it's a storage ring, used to store items]
How do I use it?
[Use your essence to activate it]
Cyra did just that, she could see what was inside the ring, thousands if not hundreds of thousands of Dragon Gold..
System how much gold is inside?
[Calculating...]
While the system was calculating, Cyra took out a note from the ring which said: monthly payment for the heir..
[Dragon Gold inside the ring is estimated to be 9 Dragon Flame = 900 000 Dragon Platinum = 900 000 000 Dragon Gold]
[Host is Rich]
Cyra was beaming with smiles since her greed was greatly satisfied, the next thing she did was to put on the heir dress, it was a golden dragon dress similar to the one she wore during the gathering of the clans but it was much more living, the dragons looked almost like they were alive, the dress was a master piece.
She was clear in her mind what she needed to do, She wanted to greatly increase her cultivation so with this much money that wasn't a problem, after dressing up she headed towards the Slave market inside the City Center, As she was walking on the street anyone who saw her performed a slightly bow, to show their respect, as she was walking on the street accompanied by her maids and a few soldiers she realized that someone was following her, but she didn't feel anything hostility from the spy she simply ignored her for how.
Hearing that the heir was coming to the Slave Market the shop owner himself was waiting at her by the door, he was a middle aged man wearing a white dragon robe, seeing that his robe caught her interest he said, - "Greatings to the heir, this lowly one is called Ansel Ember, I am an Elder in the clan, that is why I wear white dragon robes"
"I was informed that the heir is her to buy some slaves, may I know what is the young lady looking for?" asked Ansel in a respectful tone.
"Show me what you have." Said Cyra, she wasn't sure about that either, so he decided to look at all of them.
"This way please." Ansel led Cyra to a private meeting room where he started showing the best of the best slaves that he had, all of them were Essence Disciple Rank 4-5, these were his finest products.
"Do you have simple non cultivators?" asked Cyra curiously.
"Yes, of course, but they are sold in batches instead of individually and they doesn't worth that much." Said Ansel respectfully.
"How many do you have?" asked Cyra.
"Currently we only have 6 batches, which equals 6000 slaves, but I can order more if the young miss wants more." Said Ansel.
"Good, I take them send 6000 of them to my home!" Said Cyra.
"All 6000?" Asked Ansel in shock..
Cyra was looking on her stats [Int: 8.37] [Str: 5.12] [E: 3.86] , than said, - "Wait on second thought can I examine them before choosing which one to take home?"
"Yes, of course" said Ansel and led Cyra into a private examination room.
"How much these 6000 slaves cost?" asked Cyra.
"It's 9 000 Dragon Gold" Said Ansel.
Cyra waved her hand and a pile of Gold coins appeared on the ground.., - "This should be enough" said Cyra than entered the room, the slaves were sent in 1 by 1, the slaves that didn't passed the examination were killed by Cyra, sadly non of them passed, also to Ansel surprise every single body seemed to be sucked clean of blood.
"Sadly I couldn't find any worthy ones, maybe we should look at some of the Essence Disciplines" said Cyra while she was blooming with a smile, that's a rather odd expression for someone who couldn't find a single slave though Ansel, but decided it was better if he didn't ask for the reason.
It would have been weird if Cyra wasn't smiling after such a great harvest, she was happy that her strength has increased so much,
[Int: 8.37] [Str: 17.12] [E: 3.86], now she could easily battle someone who was a Rank 1 Essence disciple, so she decided to kill them to increase her strength, after counting a little she realized that she needed 144 slaves to reach her limits.
"How many Rank 1 Essence Disciple Do you have?" asked Cyra with a greedy look in her eyes.
"We currently have 689" answered Ansel excitedly, there was a big difference between the prices of non cultivators and cultivators, 1 cultivator could be sold for up to 10 000 Dragon Gold, That was a huge sum no matter how he looked at it.
"How much 150 cost?" asked Cyra
"1 500 000 Dragon Gold" Said Ansel Cyra cold hear the excitement in his voice.
"Good, here is 1 500 000 Dragon Gold, send them in like before"
Cyra once more, jumped into her cultivation and killed all of them, [Int: 8.37] [Str: 20.12] [E: 3.86] but to her surprise her strength instantly broke the limits, and instead of stopping at 10.00 it was 10.06 which greatly surprised her.
System why did it stop at 10?
[Host, this so called limit break, is all about strengthening the body, the first rank is strengthening the lower part of your left arm, to break the body limit host would need to use large amount of training so the blood flow won't be blocked by the strengthened muscles, this normally only can be solved by time, but because of Host double veins this limit simply doesn't exist in your arms]
Since Cyra strength has risen her senses also became sharper, she could feel that she wasn't alone so she said, - "How about you show your self?"
A girl walked out of the shadows and frightfully asked Cyra, - "Wha, What are you doing with them?"
Cyra was looking at the girl stats, she was weaker than her current self [Int: 6.07] [Str: 5.32] [E: 9.36], she was glad that she chose to came here first, to answer her questions she said, - "Can't you see I'm training... it might look a bit barbaric but it's really fun, I'm quite enjoying this." a wicked smile appeared on Cyra face than she killed the girl too, sight I forgot to ask who sent her, well what ever maybe next time..
Cyra walked out of the room happily, while she was also dragging a body behind her, the moment she saw Ansel, she walked towards him and asked, - "Can you tell me who owned her?" She was holding the head of the girl that was spying on her.
"Oh, yes this slave was sold not so long ago to young master Ender, he is a very talented young man he is already 7 years old, it's rumored that he has great future before him, he might even becoming a Vice-Leader in the future.
"Well thank you for your services and help." said Cyra and she started walking towards the door she still had a lot of things to do today and it was almost noon already, so she decided to don't delay any longer and headed towards the inscription association, where she was planning to buy large number of paper.
