The young man looked around seventeen years old and was wearing simple clothes. He was looking at several cultivation resources displayed on the stall, but he did not seem to have enough money to buy them.
Ji Tianyou watched him for a moment before walking over.
"Brother, are you a cultivator?"
The young man looked at him.
"Yes. I am currently at the Third Stage of Body Refinement."
Ji Tianyou nodded.
"What is your name?"
"My name is Luo Feng."
Ji Tianyou took out the Iron Body Pill.
"I don't need this pill anymore. You can have it."
Luo Feng looked at the pill in surprise.
"You're giving this to me?"
"Yes."
Luo Feng hesitated before accepting it.
"Thank you, Senior."
Ji Tianyou nodded.
"You can use it when you cultivate."
As soon as Luo Feng accepted the pill, a familiar notification appeared in Ji Tianyou's mind.
[Ding! Gift detected.]
[Target: Luo Feng.]
[Gift: Tier 0 Iron Body Pill.]
[Return Multiplier: 10x.]
Ji Tianyou's eyes lit up.
The system continued.
[Qualitative Return Activated.]
[Return Reward: Tier 1 Silver Body Pill.]
Ji Tianyou was slightly surprised.
"Damn it's a Tier 1 pill."
The Silver Body pill is ten times more effective then the Iron Body Pill.
"This is even better than I expected."
He looked at the remaining items in his storage.
He still had two vials of Tier 1 Demonic Beast Blood and the Low-Grade Mortal-Rank Sword.
He decided to test the system with the sword.
Ji Tianyou found another cultivator nearby and approached him.
"Brother, would you like this sword?"
The cultivator looked at him in confusion.
Ji Tianyou took out the sword and handed it to him.
"It's only a Mortal-Rank sword, but I don't need it anymore."
The cultivator hesitated before accepting it.
"Thank you, Brother."
As soon as the sword left Ji Tianyou's hand, another notification appeared.
[Ding! Gift detected.]
[Gift: Mid-Grade Mortal-Rank Sword.]
[Return Multiplier: 90x.]
[Qualitative Return Activated.]
[Return Reward: Low-Grade Earth-Rank Sword.]
Ji Tianyou's eyes widened.
A Mortal-Rank sword had become an Earth-Rank sword.
The difference between the two was enormous.
He quickly stored the returned sword.
"Now, I have a proper weapon too."
Ji Tianyou looked at the two remaining vials of Tier 1 Demonic Beast Blood.
Now it was the only item remained to be Gifted.
Ji Tianyou looked at the two remaining vials of Tier 1 Demonic Beast Blood.
These were the last items he had bought that he could use with the system.
He decided to find someone else to give them to.
After walking through the market for a while, he noticed a young girl around his age standing beside a small stall.
She was arranging several cultivation resources on the table.
Ji Tianyou walked over.
"Miss, do you cultivate?"
The girl looked at him and nodded.
"Yes. Why do you ask?"
Ji Tianyou took out one vial of Tier 1 Demonic Beast Blood.
"I have something I want to give you."
The girl looked at the vial in his hand.
"Give me?"
"Yes. You can use it for cultivation."
The girl hesitated.
"Why are you giving something this valuable to me?"
Ji Tianyou simply smiled.
"I don't need it anymore."
The girl looked at him for a moment before carefully accepting the vial.
"Thank you."
Ji Tianyou nodded.
"You're welcome."
As soon as the vial entered her hands, the familiar system notification appeared in his mind.
[Ding! Gift detected.]
[Target: Unknown.]
[Gift: 1 Vial of Tier 1 Demonic Beast Blood.]
[Return Multiplier: 80x.]
[Qualitative Return Activated.]
[Return Reward: 8 Vials of Tier 2 Demonic Beast Blood.]
Ji Tianyou's eyes widened.
"Tier 2?"
"Um, did something happen?" the girl asked.
Ji Tianyou quickly shook his head.
"Nothing. I just remembered something."
He said goodbye to the girl before leaving.
As soon as he returned to his room, Ji Tianyou took out the eight vials of Tier 2 Demonic Beast Blood.
"These eight vials should be enough to help me reach a much higher level."
He smiled and immediately began cultivating.
Ji Tianyou circulated the Demonic Tiger Body Refining Art and slowly absorbed the energy contained within the Tier 2 Demonic Beast Blood.
The energy was much stronger than Tier 1 Demonic Beast Blood.
He carefully followed the technique and continued tempering his body.
Three days passed.
Ji Tianyou finally opened his eyes.
A powerful aura spread from his body.
He had reached the Peak of the Body Refinement Realm.
"Finally, I'm at the peak."
Ji Tianyou smiled as he felt the powerful strength within his body.
Compared to a few days ago, his physical strength had increased tremendously.
For a moment, he felt as if he could defeat anyone he encountered.
However, he quickly understood that this feeling was partly caused by his sudden increase in strength.
There were still many powerful cultivators in the world.
He could not become careless just because he had reached the peak of Body Refinement.
Ji Tianyou stood up and put on his clothes.
"Now, all I need is a Qi Refinement cultivation technique. Once I get one, I can try to break through to the Qi Refinement Realm."
With that thought, Ji Tianyou left his room.
His next goal was to find a suitable Qi Refinement technique.
While walking through the city, Ji Tianyou thought about the Qi Refinement technique he needed.
"The cheapest Qi Refinement technique costs around fifty Gold Coins, or five thousand Silver Coins," he mumbled.
He now needed to find a way to earn more money.
He had already given away all of his money and multiplied it through the system. However, he could not use the money returned by the system to trigger another return.
The system had already warned him when he once tried to gift the returned money, so he did not dare to test the limit again.
"Hmm, why don't I buy something from the market, give it to someone, get a higher-quality return, and then sell the returned item?"
The more he thought about it, the better the idea seemed.
He was about to test it when he suddenly heard someone calling him.
"Brother Ji!"
