[ Divine Sword Sect ]
"Excuse me, which way to the Entry pavilion?" Wen asked a random passerby. The random disciple pointed in a direction.
Wen slightly bowed to show his thanks, "Thank you," He quickened his speed until he saw a large pavilion. Under it was a large number of 'humans'.
Wen casually walked over there.
"Hey, kid, you here for a sash?"
Wen turned his attention to an old man in a blue sash. "Yes, elder, I am here for my sash,"
The elder quickly took out a long scroll. "Name?"
"Shen Sears, from the Sun Empire,"
The elder opened the scroll further. "Shen should be at the S sections... Ah, found it, one of the later ones, from the morning, huh," Wen nodded. "Wait right here for a few seconds,"
The elder quickly walked over to a table surrounded by outer disciples who had red sashes. "A red one," A disciple respectfully bowed and took a red sash that was on the table and gave it to the elder.
The elder calmly walked back to Wen, who was waiting patiently. "Great job on getting in the sect. As someone with a level 7 potential, I expect great things from you, despite your cultivation realm," he complimented.
Wen quickly bowed to show his thanks, "Thank you, elder,"
After a few seconds after tying his sash from his shoulders down to his waist, Wen was once again alone.
'Now, for my room key, it should be in the second entry pavilion, which is a few meters away from the first entry pavilion.'
And so, Wen made his way to the second entry pavilion.

[ Li Empire, Royal Palace, Emperor Li ]
"Hey, Kars, what's the news," The emperor spoke casually.
"Nothing is amiss except for a few small crimes here and there," Karsten replied.
"Yawn, well that's great, how's my ancestor's friend?"
"He is currently in the Shei kingdom with their ancestor, discussing about their spirit cultivations,"
The emperor nodded, "Great, what is he going to do next? Go to the Sun empire?"
Karsten paused a bit to remember, "He did say something about picking disciples at the Sun empire,"
The emperor smiled, "Everything seems to be going as I planned, how's Wen?"
"Nothing is amiss in the Divine Sword Sect, the entrance exams will end in 2 days and his highness your son seems to have already succeeded in his part of your plan,"
"Sigh, that's good to hear, everything is going according to plan..."

Wen had just got his room key but he wasn't in a good mood because he was once again reminded of his terrible, atrocious cultivation realm.
'System, isn't there a way to be a 'Master Cultivator?' Wen inwardly groaned.
< There is, would you like to learn how to be a Master Farmer? >
'What? No, that's not what I meant and you know that!'
< The System's Creator does not care about cultivating, he only cares about mastering subjects.>
'If he doesn't care, isn't there like a cheat I can use?' Wen complained.
< You can. Quests like killing humans or doing double Life quests will boost your cultivation and sometimes even directly increasing it.>
'Double Life quests? What's that?' Wen asked excitedly.
< After consuming a soul dividing pill, you can partake in Double Life quests, when one half of your soul stays on your first body and the other half of your soul goes to a new body, either a dead one or one made by the system- >
'What's the highest reward for these Double Life quests?!' Wen interrupted.
< ...It is unknown because the rewards depend on the quest's difficulty >
'Fine, can you at least tell me when I can do these quests?'
< After consuming a soul dividing pill >
'... I know that you f*ckin-'
Wen couldn't finish his curse because a familiar person greeted him. "Hey Shen, you already got your stuff?"
Behind Wen was a raven head boy with dark blue eyes which looked brighter in the sunlight. "Talen? Aren't you busy helping other disciples?"
Talen shrugged, "It's not like I have to, anyone else probably can't beat me in a spar, unlike you,"
Wen examined Talen's body, he still had on his blood-soaked bandages but it didn't seem to hurt anymore. "Are you still even hurt? Why do you still have those bandages?"
Talen grinned, "I look cooler with these bandages,"
"Does it not hurt though?"
"Naw, the elders gave me a rank 2 healing pill, and because your hits were more external and weren't deep, they healed quickly despite the pill's weak grade,"
"That's great to hear," Wen smiled. "How about we spar again?"
Talen froze, "N-no thanks, I think I should go against people my level,"
"But you're in the 3rd Golden Core, what do you mean people your level?"
"Ugh, you already know what I mean by that..."
"Well, I'll be off now because I need to cultivate to catch up to you," Wen started walking back to his room.
Talen waved, "So you then," 'Dang it, how am I going to "keep an eye on him" If he will keep doing that?' Talen thought.

Wen stared down at the book he was holding. Three spirit's spirit cultivation.
"I guess it's time I finally cultivate this... How exactly do I do this?"
< To cultivate this technique, you need to understand it first. >
"Well, if it's something actually LOGICAL then I'll probably understand it quickly. If it isn't, however, I'll be doomed... "
< So dramatic... >
"Wow, System, you can be sarcastic?"
< ... >
"So, how do I start?"
< Read the book, after reading it, you'll either understand it or not, which if you don't, you'll need to read it again... >
Wen groaned, "What? More reading?"
< Good luck, after understanding the techniques, you'll probably have to try to use them, step by step. >
