Cui Wen stepped out of his abode after cultivating for the night. He had a lot of thoughts for the future and present.
"It's time to unlock this damn shop." Cui Wen said in an irritated tone. He had successfully gained about 15,000 SP the day before so it's time to see what the system has to offer.

"They literally gave me every single thing to fuck with someone badly." Cui Wen said to himself staring at the various different items.
"However, System how do I unlock more features?" Cui Wen asked again puzzled with no new features.
[Host, Upgrade the system level, idiot.]
The system responded plainly frustrated by Cui Wens questions.
"Ah.. forgot about that." Cui Wen scratched his head in a little bit of embarrassment.
"Wait.. 50,000 SP???" His eyes went wide in shock staring at the number.
[Host you have not even stepped out of your own clan!] The system remarked harshly towards Cui Wen.
"..True I suppose." Cui Wen finally let out a sigh before looking at the Qi Pill.
Ding!
[Purchased Qi Cultivation Pill]
A blue-white Pill dropped from the sky.
"So this is the Pill? Quite interesting." Cui Wen hadn't encountered any high level pills yet.
He tossed it inside the spatial ring carefully before walking out of his pagoda. The morning air was refreshing.
However Cui Wen finally remembered something.
"Lin Xuan.." Cui Wen saw the suspected spy in the distance sweeping the courtyard.
"I can either kill him when leaving for the academy, confront him or have him stay." Cui Wen pondered with 3 choices walking towards his cultivation abode.
"But i suppose I should confirm it first." Cui Wen mumbled and took notice of a young female maid servant in the distance sweeping the floor working hard.
"Sister?" Cui Wen swiftly appeared in front of her.
"Y-Young Master.. y-you scared me.." she responded in a timid tone after Cui Wen appeared close to her.
"I have a task for you, take these 200 Spirit stones for your family." Cui Wen took out a slight change of his pocket money.
"H-how c-could I..." she replied looking down onto the floor.
"It is very important sister, someone has planted a spy so I simply need you to confront him while I watch. Straightforward right?" Cui Wen continued holding the spirit stones.
She thought for a moment before responding.
"Who dares to spy on Young Master!" She responded and took the Spirit stones.
"Good girl, go to Lin Xuan and say these words.
I saw you spying on the Young Master! I will tell him now!" Cui Wen said explaining.
"L-Lin Xuan??" She replied feeling a bit scared.
"Sister are you scared for a mere head servant? Once he is revealed to be a spy I will simply kill him." Cui Wen responded in an arrogant tone.
"Y-Yes Young Master.." She finally said before going towards Cui Wens courtyard.
"Bait acquired, time to watch the show.." Cui Wen thought to himself quickly before jumping on the roof glaring at Lin Xuan.
Meanwhile Lin Xuan..
"Another day at this useless job.." Lin Xuan thought to himself sweeping the floor.
"I have been here for soon 10 years and have not found anything noteworthy. That damn Cui Wen barely talks he's basically a mute!" Lin Xuan clicked his tongue in frustration and continued.
Until..
"Lin Xuan! How dare you spy on the young master! I will tell him now!" The timid maid servant girl said out loud.
Lin Xuan stood still not believing her words at all before continuing to sweep the floor.
"Ho? He does have quite the mentality." Even after being called out Lin Xuan knew the servants position and why would the Young Master trust her.
"Hmph! I will go tell him now, the Young Master never liked you anyway!" She said one last time before turning around.
"Good! She can be an actor." Cui Wen said with a smile on his face.
"You little bitch!" Lin Xuan shouted finally in frustration of all these years.
Seeing this the little girl started running towards Cui Wens pagoda home hoping to lure Lin Xuan.
"Little girl there is no need to bait, I can simply kill him from here. Obviously I need to torture him first." Cui Wen remarked seeing the girl run with her small legs.
Immediately Lin Xuan dashed towards her with some kind of claw technique ready to kill.
However only at this time did he know he fucked up..
Cui Wen dashed using his Golden Core Cultivation base it took almost 0.1 seconds before he appeared in front of Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan as a trained spy had some combat experience but nothing could be a Realm higher than him.
Cui Wen grabbed his neck midway of Lin Xuans claw technique however Lin Xuan wasn't finished.
Almost immediately using his left arm Lin Xuan tossed a poison pill inside his mouth ready to bite.
"How cute." Cui Wen simply said before putting his whole fist into his mouth grabbing the pill. Cui Wen broke Lin Xuans jaw and some of his teeth came out with blood.
"Oh my sweet Lin Xuan, we have known each other for so long but you still betrayed me!" Cui Wen said sarcastically breaking his arms and legs to immobilize Lin Xuan. At the same time he brought out a leather piece stuffing it into his mouth to avoid Lin Xuan biting his tongue.
"Aggrhrgrg!" His groans could be heard along the courtyard startling the nearby servants to retreat.
The little maid Cui Wen paid had already left in fear so only Cui Wen and Lin Xuan were left.
Cui Wens plan was to establish a foothold in the Cui Clan. How? To torture his servant Lin Xuan and send a warning to whichever faction in the Cui Clan tried to harm him.
Cui Wen used his Qi to grab a chair in the distance. After that he modified it adding locks to the wrists, legs, stomachs. It looked like a medieval torture chair from the 17th century.
Lin Xuan simply sat there looking around in hope of escaping.
Cui Wen continued building his chair meanwhile.
"Elder Yiyi!" A shocked servant came into the pavilion hastily.
"Whats wrong?" She simply said sitting in the chair with another Elder. They looked like a couple.
"Lin Xuan has been found.." the servant continued explaining.
"Oh? How." She said staring into the wall thinking of something.
"It seems a servant girl accused him of spying and then he attacked her however Cui Wen stepped in catching him.." the servant continued recollecting the event.
"What a coincidence that the training maniac Cui Wen saw them.." The other male Elder said in a strange tone.
"Is he dead?" Elder Yiyi simply replied.
"N-No he failed.." the servant finally said looking down.
"Failed? We raised him and he fails?! Imbecile!" She shouted in anger clenching the chair handles destroying it.
"Shh.. calm down. Lin Xuan is probably dead by now that Cui Wen is nothing but a young kid." The male Elder responded looking at his wife in anger.
"He dared to embarrass my sweet Feng'er I won't let this go!" She responded one last time before stepping out.
The other Elder stayed in the room giving orders to the servant.
Back to the MC!
Cui Wen had finally completed the torture chair now it's simply time for it to begin. Lin Xuan was forcefully sat down onto the chair after Cui Wen crippled him earlier.
"My sweet Lin Xuan I would like some answers okay?" Cui Wen spoke again grabbing a hold of Lin Xuan.
Pop!
Cui Wen broke Lin Xuans finger before approaching the finger nail.
Lin Xuan sat there unmoved, sure it a hurt a little bit but he was a former foundation establishment cultivator!
"Okay let's see who wins." Cui Wen said in a fit of anger.
Cui Wen then proceeded to break all his fingers however only a groan came out of Lin Xuan.
"Okay let's try this!" Cui Wen said and suddenly Lin Xuan had a bad feeling almost warning him of the danger.
Cui Wen took hold of his fingernail and pulled it off.
"ARGHHA!" Lin Xuan shouted having his fingernail torn off.
"We aren't done yet, Lin Xuan." Cui Wen reminded him.
Cui Wen accessed his spatial ring and brought out salt.
"Do you know what this is?" Cui Wen asked holding the salt in his hands.
Lin Xuan nodded to the left and right in response.
"It's fine you will know now." Cui Wen said and put the salt on the fingernail wound.
After putting the salt he crushed Lin Xuans fingernail down pushing the salt down into his wounds.
"ARGHHH HHHRHRHRGGG!!" Lin Xuan groaned even louder this time with the leather in his mouth.
Saliva started pouring down his face in pain. Then came the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eight, ninth and tenth fingernail. Each time Cui Wen added salt in Lin Xuans wounds a new almost desperation cry came.
Now that Lin Xuan had overcome the finger nail pain 10 minutes later, Cui Wen just cut off both his hands.
Blood started pouring out heavily after having his hands cut off however Cui Wen used his Qi to stop the blood flow.
"Do you wish to talk now Mr. Lin Xuan? I have all day you know." Cui Wen said looking down on Lin Xuan.
Hearing this Lin Xuan saw hope and nodded fiercely.
"Okay, be a good servant now." Cui Wen said before taking out the leather. It was now soaked with Lin Xuans saliva after the short torture session.
"Y-Young... Mas..ter, im so..rry..." Lin Xuan took heavy breaths after having his mouth opened. With a few teeth loose he spoke a little bit goofy.
"Who was it?" Cui Wen asked in a heavy tone.
"Y-You..ng.. ma..ss..t..er.. E...ld..er... yi.yi.." He eventually said blood running out of his mouth.
"Hmm, who Is this Elder Yiyi, I have forgotten." Cui Wen asked in confusion.
Truthfully Cui Wen did not know a majority of the Elders apart from the important ones.
"C-..cu..I f...e.ng.." Lin Xuan lastly said before passing out due to blood loss.
"Oh! Cui Fengs parents, I remember now!They were the ones who tried to kill me after I beat him up a few years back." Cui Wen had a realization.
"This means the Lin vassal family has connections with them." He lastly added in his thoughts.
Then he pulled out a pen and paper writing them down
