After putting on his clothes, Ji Tianyou left his small room and went to find the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, I want to leave the alchemy shop."
The shopkeeper looked at him in surprise.
"Leave? You mean you don't want to work here anymore?"
"Yes. I have decided to leave."
The shopkeeper looked at Ji Tianyou for a moment before nodding.
"Alright. If you have made up your mind, I won't stop you."
Ji Tianyou had worked at the White Rose Alchemy Shop for many years, but he had finally decided to leave his life as a menial worker behind.
He no longer needed to depend on this job for his living.
"Thank you for taking care of me all these years."
The shopkeeper waved his hand.
"Go and take care of yourself."
Ji Tianyou nodded and left the shop.
The shopkeeper did not think much about it. Menial workers came and left the alchemy shop regularly, so Ji Tianyou's departure did not surprise him.
After leaving the shop, Ji Tianyou walked through the streets of White Rose City.
He carried all of his remaining savings with him.
He had spent many years carefully saving every coin he earned. He had never been willing to waste money because he knew how difficult it was for a menial worker to earn it.
As he walked through the city, Ji Tianyou noticed several beggars sitting beside the road.
An idea immediately came to his mind.
Since the system activated whenever he gave something to another person, he could use the beggars to test its abilities.
Ji Tianyou walked toward one of the beggars.
The beggar looked at him with confusion.
Ji Tianyou took out a few silver coins and placed them in the beggar's hand.
"Take these."
The beggar looked at the coins in surprise.
"Thank you, young master."
Ji Tianyou nodded and continued walking.
A familiar notification appeared in his mind.
[Ding! Gift detected.]
Ji Tianyou smiled.
The system really worked.
He continued walking through the city and gave small amounts of money to several beggars.
Each time he gave something away, the system activated and returned a reward.
The return multiplier was different each time.
After testing the system several times, Ji Tianyou checked his money.
His wealth had increased considerably.
He now had 6,000 Silver Coins.
Ji Tianyou looked at the silver coins in his storage and smiled.
"Six thousand Silver Coins."
For someone who had spent sixteen years working as a menial servant, this was an enormous amount of money.
With this money, he could finally purchase the resources needed for cultivation.
More importantly, he no longer needed to return to the White Rose Alchemy Shop.
His life as a menial worker had ended.
From today onward, he would rely on the Good Fortune Return System and walk his own path of cultivation.
Ji Tianyou put away his money and continued toward the market.
His first goal was simple.
He needed to buy Tier 1 Demonic Beast Blood.
Soon, Ji Tianyou arrived at the market.
There were many shops and stalls selling all kinds of goods. Some cultivators were walking around while others were sitting on the ground and selling items they had collected.
Ji Tianyou looked around for a while before noticing a large shop with a sign that read:
Demonic Beast Shop
He walked inside.
The shop was filled with the smell of beast blood and other materials.
A shop assistant came over and asked, "What do you need?"
"I want Tier 1 Demonic Beast Blood."
The assistant nodded.
"Tier 1 Demonic Beast Blood costs one hundred Silver Coins per vial."
Ji Tianyou nodded and bought two vials.
He paid two hundred Silver Coins and placed the vials into his storage.
I can always multiply these later with the system.
After buying the beast blood, Ji Tianyou continued looking around the market.
He wanted to see if there was anything else useful.
After walking for a while, he noticed a small weapons shop.
Inside, there were many ordinary weapons displayed on the walls.
Ji Tianyou looked around and eventually found a sword.
It was a Low-Grade Mortal-Rank Sword.
The sword was simple, but it looked sturdy enough.
"How much is this?"
The shopkeeper looked at the sword.
"One hundred and fifty Silver Coins."
Ji Tianyou thought for a moment before paying the price.
He placed the sword into his storage.
Although it was only a Mortal-Rank weapon, he upgrade it later with the system.
Ji Tianyou continued wandering around the market.
After some time, he found another shop selling pills.
There were many different pills displayed inside glass containers.
Ji Tianyou looked through them and soon found a pill called an Iron Body Pill.
It was a Tier 0 Body Refining Pill.
The pill could help strengthen the body of a cultivator at the later stages of Body Refinement.
Ji Tianyou bought one Iron Body Pill.
After paying for it, he put the pill into his storage.
He now had two vials of Tier 1 Demonic Beast Blood, a Mortal-Rank sword, and a Tier 0 Iron Body Pill.
Ji Tianyou looked at the items he had bought.
"These should be enough to reach the peak of body refining."
He was especially interested in seeing what would happen if he gave away the Tier 1 Demonic Beast Blood.
If the system returned a higher-grade resource, it would save him a lot of money.
Ji Tianyou left the pill shop and continued walking through the market, looking for someone he could give the items to.
Ji Tianyou continued walking through the market while looking for someone suitable.
He did not want to give the items to just anyone. He wanted to make sure the person would genuinely benefit from them.
After walking for a while, he noticed a young man standing near one of the stalls.
