This 1 month was filled with fighting and learning, I have adapted to a lot of moves made by the monsters which force me to move a certain way, my experience of combat had gone up since I was fighting with monsters equal to or stronger than me, at day 10 I had decided to go into the 3rd layer but right when I arrived I encountered a late 7th layer Qi apprentice.
Although I haven't trained much in my body or have been absorbing Qi I was in 3rd layer mud of martial apprentice and 3rd layer late in martial body, the monster had injured me quite a lot before I killed it. I had to take a few wound mending grade 0 pill which did barley anything but it helped more than nothing, I also took some grade zero pain relief pill.
I also found a loop on my copy paste skill, when I tried to copy a batch of grade zero pills it instantly tripled a batch was 10 pills so when I had copy pasted it in total I got 30 pills now sometimes I also tried to copy the corpses and it worked. On day 17 I had reached 4th layer of of martial apprentice but I still couldn't breakthrough to 4 layer of body apprentice.
I have been using my finger of destruction skill but because of the usage of Qi I couldn't use it a lot of times so it's mastery was now on 25%, while the copy paste skill was on 27%. On day 24 I could now fight against early layer 8th monsters of martial apprentice as I finally broke through to 4th layer of body apprentice.
My body cultivation manual has now reached the 10th layer and almost strong as seal which will then increase my body's defense multiple times. At the end of the month I could now fight against late 8th layer martial apprentice equally.
I had a lot of stuff in my inventory, mostly were corpses and I had picked up herbs, my pills were all gone as I used them and instead copy pasted the herbs.
X64 6th layer
X64 6th layer
X64 7th layer
X64 8th layer
X64 precious herbs
X64 precious herbs
X10 rare herbs
You might be wandering on how I killed so many beasts but I really didn't, when I experimented on my copy paste I accidentally copied the beasts and now I had more then I asked for I also found some good rare herbs guarded by layer 8th beasts.
At the end of the month I had entered late layer 4th stage and both martial and body cultivation I could fight against early 9th layer martial apprentices plus my body's defense has increased by a few times so now I could take on a full punch from a halfstep martial warrior.
After the month ended I headed out of the forest I had to pay for the horse as they have been feeding it and taking care of it. I rode back on the horse back to my courtyard, I decided to auction the rare herbs after a few days of copy and pasting it ofcourse. My allowance was only 100 copper coins a month although it was a lot for common folks to live for a few months with just a few hundred copper coins it was barley enough for me.
Just 1 of the rare herb costs 400 silver coins meaning if I wait for a few days and auction some of it I will have lots of gold coins, 1000 copper was 1 bronze, 1000bronze was 1 silver, 1000 silver was 1 gold you cannot exchange gold for spirit stones but you can buy it in auctions and whatnot. I could auction 10 rare herbs and get 4000 silver which is 4 gold.
Som high class family barely earn 10 gold a year but me just sell few things gets me rich, but in this way why isn't everyone else rich? Why don't martial masters go in the forests and collect herbs but again vermillion empire intervenes and it has an array if any martial master is causing trouble for younger generations the array will instantly injure the person and knock them out so the martial masters didn't and their weren't that many martial a masters in this kingdom.
Vermillion empire care about its younger generations to much much but what could anyone else do? No one else has a say in this because if anyone every disobeys the emperor then they will be punished.
I heard that the auction will start in 2 days and my copy paste had finally reach the big accomplish realm and I could triple any copy paste and copy paste 3 times a day, so I quickly copy pasted the 10 herbs and it now became 30 and then I used it again and it now was 90 then I used it one more time and finally I ended up with 270. I decided to sell 50 and I would end out with 20,000 gold.
My ling family collects up to 1 million gold coins a year but is spent for the family and sometimes if businesses went very well we would get up to 2 million but then again the coins were used for the family although this would be considered a lot by small family's or other small nobles but for some others this was considered alright.
Sadly we aren't the main family as the main family resides in vermillion empire and are one of the founding family's which have existed for over millions of years but we are the first branch clan and are considered the highest branch clan, I am of the ling bloodline there weren't that many people with ling bloodline out of vermillion empire.
It is said that the old master of the ling clan who is my great great great...etc grandfather is currently on martial grandmaster realm 'I don't know the specifics but that's what I heard from the rumors'.
Any ling family members from the branch family's that reached the martial warrior realm could go to the vermillion empire to receive the outer disciple of the ling clan/family.
Even the people with ling bloodline had to register as an outer disciple as only people with strength earned respect and only by showing strength could you rise high in status and position. I decided that I was gunna reach martial warrior and go to the main clan so I can get way better resources.
When the auction day cam I had over 100,000 rare herbs which was a lot, I decided to auction more then just 50. I had recently bought a robe and mask that hid my face and gloves, I made sure that no one can sense my realm.
As I walked to the entrance there were 2 guards that stopped me. "Young sir would you like to buy or sell?", "I want to sell" I also changed my voice to sound a lot more older.
"Sir please enter the door over there" the guard said nervously I think my voice scared him and because he can't sense my cultivation he probably thought I was extremely strong. I then went through the door on the left and saw a young man standing there.
"Hold up sir, I will get the manager to check your treasure"
The guy was sweating, I looked at him questioning what was going on but then I finally realized that I had let my killing intent slip and because of how many corpses I had my killing intent had doubled or tripled so I instantly stop leaking my intent.
" my apologies young man" I said, it truly sounded as if I was old but my stature was questioning as I was quite tall but since I wore a robe/cloak no one could see my fit body.
(A/n: his physique looks like Baki hanma his build his big but he is only 5'6 his muscles are huge and bulging but lean, he also had red hair like yujiro)
"Hello, I heard that you want to auction something?" He looked at me like he wanted to know everything I hid . "Yes, I want to sell 500 rare herbs". This had sent some shock to the man but he recovered instantly although rare herbs want that hard to come by but 500 at once was surprising.
"Ah ok so 500 we will sell it 10 by 10 so that you don't get under paid" this guy was smart, he wanted to milk everyone for 10 each and they won't know if there is gunna be another batch or not so they were gunna try their hardest.
"So 10 is gunna give up you 4 gold and 500 will give you 200,000 silver which is 200 gold"
This had truly disappointed me but we all start small. "But because it is in batches I guarantee you will get at least 1,000 silver for each which means you will end out with 500 gold and even if you don't we will pay you the extra". It looked like he wanted to have a good relationship with a person that had this much herbs as he suspected me to be some old cultivator coming out of seclusion for fun.
He gave me a jade token and said. "From now on you will be one of the supervvip there are only 10 of these, Chan take mr.errrr may I ask what sires name is?". "Hanma" I smirked under my mask as I shall make this name known to this world hahah.
The guy called Chan took me up some stairs and we arrived in the third floor where the supervvip rooms were located, I was sent to room number 1. On the stage a beautiful lady came out with something in her hand and started talking.
"Alright we will begin, the first item to be auctioned is....."
