At the end of it all, only the people from the Sunrise sect were still staying.
"Brother Ghost! You really did it"
Compared to the boys, the girls were more excited as they surrounded him like the ants around the sugar.
Elder Mark put his hand on Micheal's shoulder and gave a nod of appreciation.
"System, transfer Thirty-five thousand gold from the ring to the storage"
[Ding! Transfer successful]
"I should give this to you"
After transferring the amount he received from Sadie, he gave the ring to sect leader Claire. At first, she looked reluctant to take the ring but after looking at the other elders, she took the ring from him.
"No offense but just don't ask me to wear these orange uniforms because those are fugly "
Haha...
All the disciples from the sect burst into laughter hearing him because they themselves knew the orange uniforms were far too ugly and it was good to hear someone openly saying this to the elders. Since the elders were in a good mood, they too laughed and the atmosphere became very lively.
"First, we should return to the sect and settle some of our debt"
Elder Sandra sighed.
*************************
At the moment, Micheal was following the elders to the sect through a rural road and his black robes had a tint of brown due to the dust.
"Brother Ghost, you never told us where you came from?"
One of the girls asked him curiously.
"Well, since I was born, I never stayed in the same place for long, I like to travel, so I can't give a direct answer to your question"
"What about your parents, Brother Ghost?"
"I don't have any"
Even though he answered this question too many times while he was growing up, it still hurt him to say it again. A sudden change appeared in their faces when they heard him.
"I'm sorry, Brother Ghost"
"Don't be, it's alright"
His gentle smile made the girl quickly forget about this and because of his easy-going behavior, they felt comfortable around him and established a good relationship with him.
"Young man, then how did you cultivate to this point? Those spells you used looked extremely rare and precious" Elder Miled joined the conversation and asked.
"As I said, Elder Mark, I traveled a lot, met many people, explored many ruins. Since I don't have anyone to teach me or help me in the cultivation path, I have to do all that not to waste my talents"
"Worry not anymore young man, even though we don't have many resources to provide you, we can teach you and guide you on the right path"
Elder Mark proudly said as he patted on his back. All disciples of the Sunrise felt proud looking at him, almost putting him on top of this world.
None of them were idiots, especially after witnessing what he was capable of. For such a freak of nature like him, even if he was in the three big sects, he would be amongst the top disciples, and the sect's management would put a lot of focus on him. Besides, after today's competition, his name would spread across the Bredia Kingdom, so he was now a superstar of the younger generation.
Since now even the worst of the outer disciples of the three big sects ridicule them and their sect as well as bully them whenever they could. However with him as their core disciple which the elders would surely make him as one, they had the means to walk head high in front of those who mocked them.
"And don't think that you don't have a family, young man, as Elder Miles said, we don't have resources but we treat everyone in our sect as our family and now you have become one of us"
Elder Sandra slightly brushed his head like a mother and smiled at him. For the first time in his long life, his heart felt warm as he smiled.
He had quite a good impression of the people in the sect. They were poor in wealth but very rich in kindness. Although he was once the greatest assassin slash hitman ever lived on the earth, he was a lonely man as he had no family, no friends, no girlfriend, and no one even saw his real face except for his mentor. All he had was his job and a shit load of money in his offshore accounts and affection towards his job.
But in this life, he wanted to change that. He wanted relatives, he wanted a wife, and he wanted some people to rely on and friends. In this life, he simply didn't want to be lonely.
"We must guide him to reach higher levels of cultivation, Alex and Celina wouldn't let go of the fact he refused to back down and stood side by side on the top of the stairs"
Elder Mark said worriedly while walking. Everyone's happy expression turned gloomy, even Elder Miles furrowed his brows.
"Don't worry about them Elder Mark, it's just a matter of time before I surpass them and then if they cross my path, I'll kill them "
He said with a casual smile but the disciples noticed the murderous intent in his eyes and felt a little afraid.
********************
Micheal and the Sunrise sect disciples were talking along the way until they finally reached their destination.
SunRise Sect used to be an extremely prestigious and strong sect several decades ago. It was even more prestigious and powerful than the three big sects at its peak. However, since Claire's grandfather died during one of his adventures and the previous sect Leader, her father disappeared, the entire sect's prestige fell drastically.
Claire relied on her extraordinary innate talents and the scarce amount of resources at her disposal to cultivate up to her current stage. In just a short span of 26 years, she reached the Body refining stage and took the helm of the Sect Leader position after.
The entire SunRise Sect relied heavily on her and the pair of Sect Elders to uphold the entire sect. Their days were difficult and rough and the minute he stepped through the gates of the sect, their poor situation became obvious to his eyes.
Many of the buildings he had seen were broken down and old. It was clear that it had been many years since their last renovation. Several backyards were full of dried leaves and the numerous cobwebs show how long it's been uncared for.
During their conversation, the disciples told him that the total number of disciples within the sect was around 30. Next to him, the strongest disciples were at the Foundation stage level 8. And the rest of them were below foundation stage level 5.
Since the sun was almost down and he was pretty tired, sect leader Claire gave him their best house with a yard to live in.
At this point, he was already at the first level of the Body refining Stage. But he only needed three or four days to reach level 5 of the Body refining stage with the experience points on hold.
"Brother Ghost, it's not much but this is the best house we got"
The disciple called Jack led him to an old worn-out house and according to him, it was their best house.
"If this is their best house, just imagine what the other house would look like, even my maids wouldn't stay in there"
Gaya growled looking at the dried front lawn and the old house behind it.

Jack looked embarrassed but Michael smiled and gave a small pat on his shoulder.
"Its okay Jack, this is good enough for me"
With a smile and nod, Jack left him on the lawn as he sighed and entered the house. The house had a small hall and a room with an attached bathhouse and that was it, there wasn't even any furniture to sit on except the old bed in the room.
"Look at that, the tour ended before even it begins"
Gaya jumped out of his body and kicked the pebble lying on the ground.
"We can renovate the place later, but for now"
As he said, he entered the system shop and purchased a huge white sofa, a small-sized golden silk bed along with high-end blankets, and placed them all around the room.
"What the f**k? Where did you get those? You carry these in your space ring everywhere"
Her eyes sparkled looking at the sofa and the bed in front of her. She wanted to jump into the fluffy bed considering it was too long since she ever laid on a bed.
Before Gaya, he jumped into the bed as an evil grin appeared on his face thinking of a new way to tease her.
"Come on, don't be shy, the bed is small so we can sleep while cuddling each other, hehe "
"You..."
Gaya became extremely furious and shocked as she stared at him. After stuttering for a few minutes, she couldn't find a fitting word to curse him.
As a princess and a powerful cultivator of Nagaland, she had never been shamelessly hit on like this before. And what made her even more furious way the way he asked her.
"You f**king f**kery f**ker!"
She leaped at him with mouth open like a wild dog to bite him. Yet, he moved to the side as she landed face-first on the bed and when she turned around, he was on top of her.
"YOU!"
She tried to shout but her throat tightened and face turned red because this was the first time she had been this close to a man. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at his eyes while her heart started to punch against her chest as she could feel the heat coming from his nose and sense the fragrance of his face.
"What...are...you"
She was powerless and she knew if he wanted to take advantage of her, there was no stopping it.
"Jeez, would it kill you to apply some makeup!?"
As he asked, he moved to the side as she was frozen by his comment for a moment.
"AH!"
Micheal suddenly felt a sharp pain in his hand and looked at his arm to see she was furiously biting it in anger like a little girl.
"Did you at least brush your teeth?"
"I'll...ka...ll...yo..."
She became even more furious when she heard him and put more strength to bite his hand.
***********************
Micheal laid down on the bed as he stared out of the window, watching the beautiful moon, and the beautiful girl on the sofa before him. The light from the moon reflected on her figure and made her look extraordinarily beautiful. Even if she tried to dress as a ghost to scare him, it would have been impossible due to how beautiful she is.
"Hey"
"What?"
After what happened on the bed, there was a tint of shyness in her eyes but she masked it with an annoyed expression.
"I'm going to break through, so you have to keep anyone from disrupting my cultivation" Micheal sat upright and said.
"This soon? You just had reached the Body refining stage two days ago!"
She frowned and didn't believe he could breakthrough again but after spending time with him, she knew this freak of nature might be telling the truth.
"Cultivation is a walk in the park for a talented person like me"
He winked at her. Gaya had never met a more narcissistic self-praising human like him before as he now looked like the definition of pride.
"What can I do? Bite whoever comes knocking? You have to give me something to get back some of my power" For a moment she resembled a sly fox. As for what she meant by something, he knew she wants a healing pill to heal her meridians.
"Here, you greedy snake"
He already bought one pill from the shop as he threw it at her.
"Only one?!"
She growled when she realized he only gave her one pill and at this rate, it would take at least two hundred more pills to completely repair her broken meridians and start cultivating.
"One now and do this successfully, I'll give you two pills "
"Four pills"
Gaya raised four fingers and bargained
"Three pills"
"Deal"
She proudly smiled praising her bargaining talent and suddenly she remembered something.
"Why didn't you ask those old f**kers to do this?"
"I forgot it and it's too late to knock on their doors"
