Jian Chen was stunned when he saw Tian Long take off his mask.
A perfectly sculpted face with a snow-white skin and a pair of captivating golden eyes, along with his silky jet-black hair, Jian Chen had to admit that he's indeed that most good-looking man he's seen yet.
Tian Long said with a lamenting tone as he sighed. "Aii, I told you, my young disciple, this face of mine brings a calamity and troublesome situations wherever I go."
Jian Chen rolled his eyes when he heard what he said. "Anyway, should I call you master or brother-in-law?"
Tian Long thought for a moment then answered. "Hmm, you can only call me brother-in-law when Jian Meili is around. In public, you shall call me master."
Jian Chen nodded his head solemnly as he dropped to his knees and kowtowed. "Disciple greets his master. Master, please accept this disciple's kowtow."
Tian Long nodded his head but before he could even say anything, he could already hear the system's messages.
[ Ding! Congratulations to host for officially accepting his first disciple. The host has obtained the "My First Disciple" reward. ]
[ Ding! Congratulations to host for accepting the Eternal Glory Sect's first disciple. The system has rewarded the host with 50,000 Sect merit points and a gift pack. ]
Tian Long was overjoyed when he heard that he got a reward just for accepting a disciple. "Hmm, you can get up now. Here are a few gold coins, go get your own room from the receptionist." He said as he handed him a pouch full of gold coins.
"We'll be going somewhere tomorrow so you should prepare and try to get some rest early. I'll be teaching you some techniques in a few days."
Jian Chen took the pouch and nodded his head as he went downstairs and headed towards the receptionist.
Tian Long then told the system to open the rewards that he got.
[ Ding! The host has obtained 5,000 apex points and a supreme-rank Level 6 pill {Barrier-Breaking Pill} x10. ]
[ Ding! Congratulations to host for obtaining the supreme-ranked Emperor grade equipment {Solar War-Blade}. ]
[ Ding! Congratulations to host for obtaining a {Bodhi Tree's seed}. ]
(Note: These are the items of both the rewards.)
Tian Long happily said. "System, show me the items that I obtained."
[ Ding! {Barrier-Breaking Pill): A pill with the sole purpose of raising one's cultivation by a level. It also increases a person's chance to break through to the next realm. The pill only works for cultivators below the Life and Death Realm ]
[ {Solar War-Blade}: Crafted with a good amount of sun ore, the sword is able to absorb the energy from the sun and transfer it towards its wielder. Whoever wields this sword is near unparalleled during a battle under the sun. ]
[ {Bodhi Tree's seed}: A seed of a Bodhi Tree which are very rare in the Boundless Heaven World, the amount of Bodhi trees in this world could be counted in two hands. Once the tree matures, a person could gain enlightenment from time to time if he or she cultivates under the tree. ]
Tian Long smiled as he saw his rewards. He appeared inside his inner world and went up the {Eternal Celestial Mountain}.
He couldn't help but be in awe every time he saw this majestic mountain. It exuded a god-like presence which could suffocate lower rank cultivators and demonic beasts to death and instill fear and dread into higher ranked cultivators.
The mountain had a staircase which was formed by the mountain itself. After walking for a while, Tian Long finally was able to reach the entrance atop the mountain. After walking ahead, he could feel a thin yet strong barrier at the entrance as he passed through it.
When he moved forward, it was as if there was a new "world" within the mountain, Tian Long knew that this was the dimension atop the {Eternal Celestial Mountain}. The size of this world was about 1-kilometer ² and both the air and heavenly energy in this place were very pure. This place was really fitting to be described as "a dwelling for immortals and gods alike". There were hills, rivers, lakes, trees and so on within this world, it was as if they were formed by the mountain itself.
And in the middle of this world, Tian Long could see from afar a pitch-black tree that was 40 meters tall. Tian Long speedily approached it and checked its status page.
______________________________________________
Status:
{Myriad Dimension Tree} - Matured
Description: A unique type of tree born alongside the {Eternal Celestial Mountain}, it gives the mountain the ability to shift through space and dimensions, allowing it to travel anywhere.
______________________________________________
Tian Long was shocked as he saw the tree's ability. "It seems that teleportation isn't the mountain's ability itself but this tree's. System, how much is a Myriad Dimension Tree in the store?"
[ Ding! The price of a seedling of the {Myriad Dimension Tree} is 100,000 apex points while the price of a matured tree is 500,000 apex points. ]
(Note: A reminder, don't confuse the apex points and the sect merit points as they're two different things.)
Tian Long was shocked. 'This tree is worth 500,000 apex points in the Apex store? I could already buy a God Beast bloodline with that much points.'
He then laughed evilly. "I can use this {Eternal Celestial Mountain} as the base-of-operations of my Eternal Glory Sect. Hehe, with this kind of mountain, spreading the name of my sect throughout this continent is but a matter of time."
After laughing maniacally for a while, he exited his inner world.
"Right now, I have 100,000 apex points, increasing my cultivation is a no-go since I'm in this Azure Dragon City and I have a meeting tomorrow. Since it'll be harder to raise my physique's abilities when my cultivation gets higher, I should use this chance to buy pills to raise my physique's level as I can't cultivate the {Heavenly Lightning Body Refinement Method} yet." He muttered to himself.
"System show me all the pills which can boost my current physique's abilities."
[ Ding! Filtering... Done! ]

{Body Nourishment Pellet} = 10 points.
{Body Strengthening Pill} = 50 points.

Tian Long ignored all those low-level pellets as it's useless for the current him.
{Golden Skeleton Pill} = 5,000 points.
{Violet Gold Blood Nourishing Pellet} = 10,000 points.
{Draconic Body Reinforcing Pill} = 50,000 points.

______________________________________________
After looking for a while, Tian Long bought two {Golden Skeleton Pills} and a {Draconic Body Reinforcing Pill}. He also bought some low-level physique raising pills for that rascal Jian Chen as higher level pills aren't suitable for him yet.
Tian Long smiled bitterly as he spent a total of 85,000 apex points in a blink of an eye.
After taking out the pills he bought, he went to Jian Chen's room and gave him the low-level pills he bought for him.
Jian Chen was surprised because almost every single pill was supreme-ranked and they were at least level 2. 'It seems that this master of mine really is a supreme expert, giving these kinds of pills like it's nothing.' He thought to himself. He then immediately started taking the pills as these body refinement pills are very important at his current cultivation level.
Tian Long as well started taking both the {Golden Skeleton Body Pills} and the {Draconic Body Reinforcing Pill}.
He didn't know that these kinds of pills are scarce in this world as even back in the ancient times, they were incredibly difficult to get.
As soon as the pills entered his mouth, he could already feel boundless amounts of energy surging within him as if it was trying to ravage his whole body. Tian Long felt an incredible amount of pain, it was as if both his external and inner body were being burned inside out, however, he could feel the endless power from within him, which was impossible for a mere King realm cultivator to have.
The night within the city passed quietly and smoothly, however, rumblings could be heard from Tian Long's body. His physique's abilities were being increased at an incomprehensible level which people of this world wouldn't even dream of thinking
