At the lake in the training grounds, Nie Li took off his clothes, dived into the water and started to clean himself.
When he was done, he put on some clean clothes, started walking around and did some light exercises to get use to his new body.
He didn't have to wait long before Xiao Yan came back.
——————————
After Xiao Yan left the Lake, Nie Li continued his light exercises for half an hour.
{I should fight some demon beasts now, my body is at the peak of the Legend Rank and my soul realm at the 9-Fate Heavenly Fate, they won't be able to harm me even if I let them}
Nie Li went to the Infinite Forest at the east of Glory City, {Since I'm going to kill a lot of demon beasts, I might as well help the Tribe on the Heavenly Fate Plateau by clearing the way}
He spread his senses and used a Legend Rank sword to kill all of the beasts that he could detect in the forest, only extracting their demon spirits before putting their corpses inside of storage rings.
It was dawn when his two storage rings were nearly full. He could've hunt much more beasts, but he preferred to get use to his new body and did a lot of complicated movement.
Even if it was just one night, his cultivation technique allowed him to already be fully in control of his body.
On his way back there was a lake with a little islet in the middle of it where he took a bath.
——————————
Back to Glory City, he went selling his hundreds of demon spirits, earning him 3.1 Million DSC.
Du Ze and Lu Piao were already in the school library when he arrived there, he gave them 1 Million DSC each and said, "I invested the money we made with the Horned Sheep into medicinal herbs and managed to earn 3 Million DSC before the Alchemist Association bought everything. Here is 1 Million for each of you"
Since they already considered him as their brother, they accepted the money without trying to refuse it.
Looking at the two seriously, he said, "I had a talk with Xiao Yan and I realized that I wasn't really in love with Ye Ziyun. He's now also my sworn brother, you don't have to worry about me when he'll present her as his fiancee, I'm already over it"
Lu Piao looked at him suspiciously, then said with a teasing smile, "Over it, right? Didn't you simply found someone else? Come, tell your good brother who it is"
{I should go with the flow, only then would they believe that I'm truly done with Ye Ziyun}
Nie Li said with a dreamy expression, "It's Yang Xin, of the Alchemist Association"
His friend nodded, "If you're into older women, she's indeed even more beautiful than Ye Ziyun"
Nie Li then asked him how he met Xiao Xue even if he already knew the answer and Lu Piao happily talked about their childhood.
Looking at his two friends, Du Ze was speechless, {Can't these two concentrate more on their cultivation instead of talking about girls all day long?}
They only stopped when the others came. Shortly after, Xiao Yan came and presented Xiao Ning'er and Ye Ziyun as his two fiancees.
After receiving the Lightning Law Crystal and the hundred bottles of Legend Rank demon beast blood from Xiao Yan, Nie Li told his friends that due to something happening in his family, he'll have to leave them for at least a few days.
Leaving the library, he first headed to some food stalls because he was getting hungry, his body didn't have any meal since last night.
Finally full, he went to the Inscriptionist Association.
He bought one thousand Blank Inscription Scrolls, five hundred rings, a set of of brushes and carving tools.
Even thought he called her "big sister", which made her quite happy, she didn't pay for him.
{Well, she would indeed go bankrupt if she paid for everyone who comes shopping here}
Nie Li then found an inn and took the biggest room for a few hours, he thought, {I now belong to the Heavenly Marks Family, I should help them with every means possible}
Once in the room, he laid a lot of inscriptions around, so that nobody would be able to hear or sense anything happening inside.
Next, he made some Inscription Scrolls and some Legend Rank Storage Rings.
Keeping the demon beasts in his first two rings, he put everything else inside of new ones.
He then went to one the branches of the Sacred Family to find five Gold Ranks who were of the same elements as five members of his own family.
Knocking them one by one, each time he used a Black Portal Inscription Scroll to bring them to the room he just rented.
Using the technique to make Elemental Crystals out of them, he then put their corpses back to where they were when he knocked them.
Right now in Glory City, only Xiao Yan would be able to detect him, so he wasn't the least bit scared of being spotted.
Cleaning all the inscriptions, he finally left the inn and went towards his new family.
{We have nearly six thousand members with only around seventy experts, most of them being fighters}
{With the new cultivation techniques that they're going to have, they'll become Demon Spiritualists in no time}
Arriving there, he went to the Patriarch's office without anyone noticing and knocked on the door.
Once he entered, he greeted the two people present. They were the Patriarch, Nie Hai, and an Elder, Nie En.
The Heavenly Marks Family was divided into eight branches and Nie En could be considered as the Elder representing Nie Li's branch.
While the two were still surprised that Nie Li wasn't scared of them like in the past, the latter said, "Yesterday I met an old man who said he owed us a favor and that I had the most potential within the family. He gave me some treasures and my cultivation skyrocketed to the peak of the Legend Rank. Before he left, he told me that he didn't think that he would ever come back to Glory City and gave us a farewell gift".
