Novel Bin Chapter 168 - Reassurance
There were many problems that Ye tian Yun needed to take note of before starting his cultivation in the hall.
First and foremost of all was to check whether he was being spied upon or not.
After all, this hall was one of the most important places in the Gracious Sword Sect, so how could it be left unguarded, especially when a disciple is cultivating inside.
This was what worried Ye Tian Yun. If someone was indeed looking after this place, then there\'s no way Ye Tian Yun would try to cultivate his sword intent.
He wasn\'t stupid enough to reveal his trump card so soon. He would instead let go of this opportunity to cultivate sword intent in the presence of Chaos Qi.
But before making any decision, he wanted to confirm if there was really someone looking at his actions or not. And for that, he didn\'t need to do anything unique.
He had the system. That would be enough to clear his doubts.
\'System, can you scan this place for spying arrays or any cultivator?\'
[120 Kill Points required]
\'What?\' Ye Tian Yun frowned, \'What did you just say? Why would you need Kill Points for this?\'
[System cannot scan without consuming Kill Points.]
Ye Tian Yun shook his aid while saying, \'No that\'s not true, you were able to scan before without the need of Kill Points, why is that this time you need Kill Points?\'
[Host, System can\'t do complicated things without the use of Kill Points, if it doesn\'t consume Kill Points, it may give false results.]
Ye Tian Yun frowned and said, "Remember a few months back when I woke up after my rebirth, and I heard you for the first time?"
"On that day I went to meet my father to take his permission to leave for the Lower Heavens, and after meeting him, while heading back to my manor, you suddenly warned me about the guards that were following me, now tell me, you didn\'t need kill points at that time, why is it that now you need Kill Points and if you don\'t get them you may give false results?"
There was no response from System for some time, but eventually, it replied.
[System judged the situation and chose to help the Host on its own accord.]
"So you can scan without Kill Points?"
[System needs Kill Points to give accurate results. It only helped the Host at that time because… the host had no kill points, and it took pity on him.]
Ye Tian Yun was speechless when he heard the reply, "You took pity on me…?"
[Yes]
"Why don\'t you take pity on me now?"
[...]
"You know, my Kill Points are not unlimited, and you always try to rip off those points. You should instead try to help your host, not go after his kill points, trying to loot his little earnings. Also, don\'t forget that I rarely get any chance to accumulate Kill Points; they don\'t grow on trees."
[Host, what will you do with the Kill Points if you are not going to use them for yourself by giving them to the system?]
"Well… I will save them for the future… I will use them when I have no other choice."
[Do you have any other choice right now? Can you scan without the help of System?]
Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips and took a deep breath. He knew his own situation and the fact that he was quite lacking in things like scanning the surroundings for potential enemies because his cultivation was still low.
And he couldn\'t use his spirit sense in fear of making the enemy know of its existence and make him vary.
"But System, don\'t you think 120 Kill Points are too high?"
[System doesn\'t judge the cost, it\'s your question or goal that marks the price.]
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head and said, "Alright then, use the Kill Points and scan everything around here for any cultivator or an array which could be spying on me."
Ye Tian Yun crossed his arms and waited for the system\'s reply.
After a few seconds, the system gave its report.
[System had scanned the hall and had found no cultivator in it, nor in its surroundings. It has also not found any array which could potentially be used to check what;s happening in the hall or to spy on you.]
Ye Tian Yun frowned when he heard those words, \'How could the sect leave this place unguarded? THere\'s not even a single person in the vicinity, not even an array?\'
He asked the system to get reassurance, "System, are you saying that whatever I do here cannot be seen or heard or sensed by anyone else through any means possible?"
System didn\'t immediately give a reply; thus, Ye Tian Yun could only wait for its response.
After a few minutes, it finally gave a reply.
[Affirmative, Host. No one can sense, hear or see how you\'re cultivating here.]
Ye Tian Yun let out a sigh of relief when he heard those words.
From System\'s response, Ye Tian Yun was reassured that there was no elder or any other member of the Gracious Sword Sect who could see whatever he was going to do in this hall.
This also gave him a reassurance that he could finally cultivate in the full capacity and thus focus thoroughly on his cultivation.
This thought put a smile on Ye Tian Yun\'s smile because it had been months since he had cultivated his full ability.
The last time he had cultivated with all his might was when he had ordered his butler, Butler Liu, to prepare Qi strengthening Pills and Seven Treasure Body Tempering Liquid.
And after that, he got the chance to cultivate when he snatched a cultivation abode in the Outer Court of the Gracious Sword Sect. But there, he forced himself not to go all out because he may unknowingly cause a commotion and get himself in trouble even before taking the first step towards his goal.
It was only now that he had an excellent chance to cultivate non-stop and increase his cultivation and stabilize his Sword Domain.
This would not only give him a good lead over Xiao Ming, but it would also give him a head start over his other enemies, especially Shi Yan and Wang Yao, both of whom would soon start their cultivation but will catch up in no time if Ye Tian Yun slacked even a bit.
The first thing that he needed to cultivate was his Sword Intent. He needed to make his Sword Domain as stable as possible and get to the point where he could control it at will and not go let it go berserk when he tries to unleash it.
But before doing anything else, he first needed to make sure of one last thing from the System.
\'System, if I were to unleash my Sword Intent, and set lose my Sword Domain, will Sect Leader Su or anyone else be able to sense? Even though no one knows what I am doing or how I am cultivating, I can\'t take the risk of releasing the Sword Intent only for the Sect Leader or anyone else to sense it and find out about this."
"So, system, I will need reassurance regarding this too."
Just like the previous time, the System went silent for a few minutes before replying.
[Host does not need to be worried about someone sensing the Sword Intent. Fortunately for you, this hall actually has arrays that suppress any kind of aura and locks it inside the hall.]
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head when he heard System\'s reply.
It wasn\'t hard to understand why there would be arrays here that could suppress any aura and lock it inside the all; after all, this hall had the sword stele.
And this Sword Stele was actually a waterfall that gave out high-density Qi, allowing anyone who cultivated in the vicinity to have very fast breakthroughs.
The Sect wouldn\'t want anyone to sense this place by coincidence. They would rather lock down everything, even the aura, thus giving their best to hide this waterfall from the public eye.
They needed to do it because this place was simply too valuable, and if its existence gets leaked, it would only bring trouble on the GRacious Sword Sect as almost any power in the Lower Heavens would want to get this waterfall in their hands.
Ye Tian Yun shook his head as he thought of how easily the Sect Leader trusted him to see this place and even cultivate here. \'Did these people not have a thought that I might leak the existence of this place? And I would if in future there comes a day when I feel it\'s worth leaking out…."
While Ye Tian Yun was gloating over how easily GRacios Sword Sect let him know of the existence of such an important place, he suddenly heard a notification.
[120 Kill Points Consumed]
[Remaining Kill Points: 8727 ]
This brought back Ye Tian Yun to reality as he stared at the notification in front of him.
Looking at the Kill Points, a thought popped us in his head.
He already knew the way to cultivate his Sword Intent with the help of Chaos Qi; however, he had no knowledge regarding how to increase his cultivation with the help of Chaos Qi.
When Shi Yan cultivated with the help of Chaos Qi, he cultivated at the fastest speed and became Half Saint after mere two years of cultivation.
On the other hand, it took Ye Tian Yun more than ten years of cultivation to reach that same realm and not to forget that he had the best possible cultivation resources.
Clearing his throat, Ye Tian Yun asked, "System, do you know the method to increase cultivation with the help of Chaos Qi?"
