The currency that all continents had used and implemented was Coins that come under 6 forms of prosperity which are Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Crystal, and Royal. Each of these coins is 100 times the value of its previous rank.
Nevertheless, to reach the nearby city, Daniel will need to venture into a forest where hundreds of beasts reside as they await their prey to feast on.
\'With my senses now, I could feel the density of the Qi in the forest which is thousands of times worse than in my sect\' He gazed around the forest with caution.
\'But the beasts residing in this forest are not to be messed with\' He could detect that there were a couple of beasts camouflaging while waiting for Daniel to drop his guard.
"Cecilia, since we are inside the forest. How about using this chance to gauge and hone your abilities?" Daniel instructed.
"Alright, Master" She nodded her head in excitement as she was eager to use her newfound power, and also, showed her master her capabilities.
And moments later, a beast that goes by the name of Grey Wolf ambushed them out of nowhere. However, the battle was over before it could begin.
"Hmpf. How dare you show your stinky presence to Master" No one would believe that a low self-esteem girl with no capabilities would turn into an ice empress.
Just a millisecond before the grey wolf ambushed, Cecilia had noticed and turned the Grey Wolf into a chunk of ice, and as she clenched her hand into a fist, the grey wolf turned into a mist of ice.
In a blink of an eye, the grey wolf had ceased to exist without understanding what happened to itself. Seconds ago, it had jumped onto a certain human, and out of nowhere, it died.
\'If previously, I would have been helpless, and if it weren\'t for Master divinities, I would have been the one devoured...so don\'t blame me for killing you \'
It was impressive that Cecilia didn\'t have a hard time killing a beast, especially for someone who had become a cultivator in less than 6 hours.
Nevertheless, when Cecilia killed the beast, a small crystallized orb dropped onto the ground.
"Master...what is this?" She picked it up and asked in curiosity and knowing what it was, he answered her question.
"It\'s a beast core," He said, and at the same time, he inquired the system about the wonders of a beast core.
* The beast core has many functions such as the material for Blacksmith or Alchemists, but most cultivators consumed the beast core either to engrave a spiritual beast or to increase their cultivation level *
* Nevertheless, the system has a unique efficient method of absorbing the beast core as the core will be exchanged for stats. Does the Host wish to exchange Mortal Beast Core for 10 Stats Points? *
"But...what is a beast core? I have never heard of such a thing in my life. But, it must be something of a value right Master?" Cecilia was trying to guess the identity of the core cutely.
"A beast core could be used as a material or to increase your cultivation level" Daniel explained what the system explained.
"In that case, doesn\'t that mean that Beast Core is precious? Should we kill all the beasts living in the forest?" Daniel was quite a stunt to see that his disciple\'s personality had changed.
But it is good as it would mean she had confidence in fighting.
"While the beast core is a precious resource, you\'ll still have limits in absorbing the cores, and there\'s no doubt that there will be side effects" He explained.
"I see Master" She nodded her head to his explanation.
Though there were more than meets the eye about Beast Core, Daniel wishes to leave the lesson like that before he explains more in the future.
\'System, exchanged the beast core with stats points\' Without a doubt, he converted the core into stats points, and as the beast core disappeared from his palm, he received a notification of his stats points increased by 10 points.
\'This is making me look forward to hunting all of the beasts within the forest. Maybe I should spend some time here before visiting the City\'
"But still, show me what you can do with the beasts living in the forest" Daniel gave her the green light to massacre all of the beasts living in the forests.
"All...right...Master" Cecilia showed a hungry smile, a kind of smile that she lusts for her master\'s praise once she had completed the mission given to her.
Daniel made up his mind to hunt down all of the beasts around the forest, but he wanted to witness how much prowess Cecilia currently has, and coincidently, a pack of grey wolves had revealed themselves before them.
\'Just our luck\' He smirked before Cecilia engaged with the pack.
The pack of grey wolves was roaring at them as they had sensed one of their kin had died, but Cecilia didn\'t care about what they felt and how much anger they had.
\'Be glad that all of you will be sacrificed for the sake of giving my master a good show\' Her eyes darkened as she thought of satisfying her master.
Cecilia created dozens of sharp massive rocks of ice that floats above the pack and within and after it had been manifested, she dropped all of the Ice that had smashed their bodies into a paste.
It was a devastating sight when the previous 50 Grey Wolves still alive had all gone just like that without showing how much pride they have.
"??" Cecilia tilted her head in confusion. She thought beasts were incredible lifeforms that possesses extraordinary strength and power where even the lowest realm could defeat and kill dozens of humans.
But how could 50 of them die without her trying? And this was a question that she asked herself.
She wanted to show her master a good show, but she ended up killing all of them within a second. It was impressive, but at the same time, she was a little bit disappointed.
"It\'s impressive Cecilia, but it also made you realize how much power you currently have. You need to know that all of the Grey Wolves you killed had a cultivation realm of Foundation 2nd Stage and above"
"The lesson that I wish to give is that slowly you will realize how extraordinary you are and how you will need to control your power" Daniel explained to her who seems like she had broken her first toy.
"I see Master" She wasn\'t dejected, but rather excited and she took his words with seriousness.
But what surprised her the most is that the pack had a cultivation rank above hers, and it broke her common sense of cultivation difference.
\'Master must be trying to tell me that there\'s a huge difference between me and the beasts\' She assumed.
\'Sadly, all of the cores had been smashed and shattered. Otherwise, I could earn another 300 or more He shook his head in pity.
Moving on, they walked and journeyed a few kilometers, before they encountered a group of gigantic snakes with dark green scales.
They were known as Grenemous Snakes which were famous for their size and also, the disruption for merchants that traveled around the forests.
But size is not what matters as they succumb to their death after Cecilia froze their body into ice before summoning humongous boulders above them where their bodies were crushed into liquid.
Her next victims were dozens of Fiery Monkeys that were violent. But still, all of them were defeated when she manifested a snowstorm that swept out their homes.
Her last victims of the day were hundreds of birdy creatures known as Golden Chips and even though they had large numbers, they were defeated and killed within seconds after Cecilia had frozen their blood.
The more she hunted and killed, the more Cecilia realized how much she had changed. If a day before, she didn\'t dare to kill nor even have the confidence to fight.
But now, she stood tall and had killed hundreds of beasts without a sweat.
\'It feels like I only had used 1% of my power and I didn\'t find any struggles in fighting against them...and all of this was brought by master...\'
Once again, she realized that all of this could only happen because of him, thus, her loyalty and love for him had grown larger.
"Mas-
Right before Cecilia could convey what she wanted to say, a certain group of cultivators encountered them.
"Oh? What do we have here?" In the middle of the forest where Daniel and Cecilia were about to leave the forest, they encountered a group of fellow cultivators that seemed friendly yet not.
"Never would we imagine encountering 2 fellow cultivators in this forest," The one who leads the group of cultivators said with a wide smile especially when he saw a beauty like never before.
Daniel chooses to ignore this bunch of cultivators as he didn\'t come here to make friends. He came here because he wanted to visit the city, at the same time, cherish his time together with his disciple.
"Woah, hold on a minute. Why are you rushing? Would it hurt a little bit for us to travel together? I mean, the path you\'re heading toward is the same as our destination"
He grabbed Daniel\'s arm as though forcing him to stay and also, he had motives while gazing at the girl.
There were 2 things that had pissed off Daniel. First, seeing his hands on his arm, Daniel was annoyed.
\'What kind of stranger would just randomly greet you and grab your hand in the middle of the forest?\' He thought.
Secondly, they were gazing at Cecilia with lust, and this greatly angered him.
"I\'m not interested and let go of your hand\'" He warned the man kindly and as he eyed over their robes, he noticed there was a mark that signifies a sect that had a Sun and a Sword.
