adam wore a white robe that was the common clothing for normal people in this world and walked on thr desolate road while passing through many houses that had one thing in common and that was all of them were wrecked . after reaching the 2nd level of qi refinement realm , the basic stats of adam had gained a huge boost so his normal walking speed was much faster than before . in this world for human qi refinement realm cultivators , there was a simple way to distinguish their strength and levels .
1st level - 100 pounds strenght
2nd level - 200 pounds
3rd level - 500 pounds
4th level - 1000 pounds
5th level - 1500 pounds
6th level - 2000 pounds
7th level - 3000 pounds
8th level- 5000 pounds
9th level - 10000 pounds
10th level - 20000 pounds strenght
when a cultivator advanced to the seventh level of qi refinement realm , he could use qi in attacks so the increase in strenght is much greater than the levels before . this is the average strength cultivators while talented ones or some who had used better cultivation resources can display more than double of the strenght in each level easily . for adam , he hasn't noticed yet but he could already use 500 pounds of strenght now without learning any martial arts when he has just advanced to the 2nd level of qi refinement realm. this was due to the fact that the cultivation manuals purchased from the system were arranged for siting him best and his talent was extraordinary in the first place . so adam was destined to leave his peers into dust on the road of cultivation .
adam reached the house of aunt lin which had the largest space and all the residents of this town had their dinner here . the reason being that aunt lin couldn't walk properly because of her legs that were disabled from . it was a pity as she had a beautiful face and would have married with a rich guy easily if not for her legs . despite her predicament she always smiles in front of others and had volunteered to cook food for everybody because she was the only woman in the village and her cooking skills were the best among all .
" hello everyone! " adam walked through the front door and shouted in a happy tone when he saw the villagers had already gathered inside the living room . adam knew from his memories that all of them were suffering from something but he was sad after seeing with his own eyes for the first time . but he maintained his poker face the whole time which was a skill he had leaned from his time in working for the multinational company and meeting with all kinds of clients daily .
" oh.. adam you are here . we were worried as you are always the first one to come everyday " uncle gen commented in a kind tone . he was a normal old man and taught adam some basic knowledge about herbs . unfortunately his right arm and leg were disabled after an encounter with a beast some years back .
adam greeted everyone and enjoyed the lively atmosphere that reminded him of the time with his colleagues in the company . he could feel that everyone genuinely cared about him , of course the old adam though . when everybody had finished eating the simple cooked rice and herb soup , adam heard many stories about this world from them but a familiar ding! sound was heard inside his mind and he excused himself . adam ran back home and heard the system message attentively .
" ding! mission function is unlocked ."
" mission - the demon Jeff's soul is corrupting the beasts inside the forest of death . kill it and prevent the beast tides . host is advised to reach the 5th level of qi refinement realm before engaging the soul fragment .
reward - basic pill mastery , basic portion mastery . "
adam was really cursing the system inwardly as it was the first he heard about mission function . he was mad but had to endure it as the rewards of the mission were great . he could save 8,000 SP by completing the mission as the total cost of basic pill and potion mastery was 8000 in the shop . so he quickly forgot about his displeasure with system and started checking the map for the location of demon Jeff's soul fragment ..
