His stats showed mostly what Kael already expected. His attributes were all inside his actual realm since he didn't have a special physique or bloodline. His soul doesn't affect him much for now.
The only thing that surprised him was the increase in Body Refinement talent. The reason for that was probably that the Jade Refinement stage removed all the impurities from his body and perfected it.
This meant that his foundation and talent went up, which was reflected by the system.
‚I've still got a month left until I can leave the cave. Even though I could theoretically beat the boss outside already, I feel like whatever is inside the egg needs the high amount of energy in this cave.'
‚I also don't want to just leave and come back a month later. There's always the risk of somebody discovering this cave after all.'
‚But it's strange. Whilst I should not be able to cultivate further until I gain meridians, I still feel like I can go on.'
Kael got this strange feeling from his soul, that he could still go further in the Body Refinement realm. Not only that, it felt like he would forever regret it if he broke through to the Energy Refinement realm now.
Not that Kael had the ability to do that but if he could he probably shouldn't.
Since the feeling came from the depths of his soul, Kael chose to trust it. His soul was something that not even the system could identify.
But not even the human body refinement manual or the system spoke of the existence of a higher minor realm.
The system held some crucial information about cultivation, like the division of realms. This was to ensure that geniuses from lower level worlds also had the ability to achieve their full potential.
Otherwise someone with A-Grade potential might only reach the bronze Refinement realm since the inhabitants of his world didn't know about higher realms.
The system wanted to ensure the developement of all talents to ensure the safety of the universe against outside threats.
This represented a problem for him though. Since the system and his soul contradicted each other he was on his own in this decision. But due to the month he could otherwise just sit around, and his high level of comprehension, he decided to give it a try.
When he first got into contact with soul force, he noticed that his soul was somewhat different from what was described in the information that the voice gave him about normal souls.
Due to this and the fact that the feeling emanated from his soul, Kael started to ponder over the technique to reach an even higher level by exploring the special properties of his soul.
What he didn't know was that he shouldn't even have been able to interact with his soul at this moment, talk less of using his soul force. This ability stemmed from the high quality his soul had.
After pondering over the issue for another 25 days Kael slowly formed a plan in his head.
‚This is absolutely crazy. This is so unbelievable that every other cultivator would look at me like I've gone mad if I told them about it.'
‚There is even an extremely high risk associated with this plan, but if I succeed my cultivation and body refinement talent as well as my strength will once again go through the roof.'
But to go through with what he had in mind, Kael first needed a large amount of energy in the form of spirit stones and plants.
Not just any spirit plants, he probably needed at least low earth grade ones that contain a lot of vitality, additionally he also needed body strengthening pills that could be used by Core formation realm cultivators.
To do that he needed a lot of Credits. Luckily he still held an excess amount of body strengthening pills with perfect quality. Almost a million of them to be exact, he only used less than 5000 of them in the last 11 months.
Kael plans to sell them on the system market right now and hopes that he will be able to get rid of them relatively quickly.
‚A single body strengthening powder sells for 250 Credits. A normal body strengthening pill could easily sell for 30 times the price, but since mine are of perfect grade, they have about double the efficiency.'
‚Calculating this way you would usually be able to sell them for double the price. But since cultivation speed is important when cultivating and the demand is high, I can probably sale for three times the price of a normal pill. 90 times 250 equals to 22.500 Credits each. If I sell 100.000 of them That would be 2.250.000.000.'
Kael was suddenly taken aback. He never even dreamed about owning this amount of money in either in his lifes. But now it was just the beginning for him.
Kael instantly got to selling them on the global market and put them up under his nickname „Confused Transmigrator". He kind of regretted his naming sense now that he would probably be famous after this transaction. And he was not wrong.
In the chat function of the system millions of cultivators were suddenly going crazy.
„Who is this big shot that suddenly put up such a huge amount of perfect quality pills? How come I've never heard of him before."
„How are they all of perfect quality? Even master level alchemists can only achieve a 30% quantity of perfect quality when refining pills of this level."
„Doesn't this mean he is at least a grandmaster? Or did he simply throw away all the pills of lower quality, how wasteful."
„It would be better if he just sent them to me. I wouldn't mind taking a few."
„Use your head. How could a grandmaster alchemist waste his time with refining such low level pills? It was probably an emerging supreme genius!"
„Supreme genius? No way! More like some lucky guy who found a large amount of pills inside a secret realm."
As Kael read the chat for the first time, he was overwhelmed by the amount of messages. He underestimated the impact that such a number of pills with Perfect quality would have. What would they say if they new he had another 900.000 identical pills?.
He didn't mind the commotion though. After all no one could track those pills back to him and they would sell faster this way.
He was right. After just 10 minutes they were already completely sold out. Most of them were bought by big clans or sects in huge amounts to give to their talented descendants and disciples.
With over 2.25 billion credits in his account, Kael would be able to buy a lot of low grade spirit stones. Each of them sells for about 10k Credits and he would use half of his Credits to buy them.
This left Kael with 1,125 billion in his account, as well as 112.500 low grade spirit stones. He once again exchanged those for mid grade spirit stones. With an exchange rate of 1:100 he could afford 1125 of them.
With the remaining money he bought some body strengthening pills meant for the core formation realm. Each of them costs about a hundred million so he only bought one.
With the remaining billion Credits he was only able to buy two 10000 year ginseng of low earth grade that contained a huge amount of vitality. He would need them to survive his coming ordeal.
Seeing his now empty bank account Kael shed a silent tear, but then he remembered that only strength is absolute and started to steel his mind for what was to come.
He would need a clear head to endure the amount of pain that he would soon feel.
