The very next morning, the sound of carriages and chattering of people interrupted Jack's peaceful cultivation. He had no idea where this noise was coming from. On the busiest day of his sect, there would be only one or two carriages and even those belonging to the debt collectors. Yet now he heard continuous commotion and noise of carriages.

he could no longer concentrate on cultivation. He opened his eyes and walked outside to check what's happening.

"What the hell?!" When he stepped out of his tiny room, he was welcomed by the sight of a huge number of people walking towards their sect. Particularly they head directly towards the place where Ghost was staying.

"Who are all these people and why are they coming here?"

"Brother Jack, do you know what's going on?" Some of his juniors also woke up by the commotions and they came asking Jack.

"I don't know but I should go and inform the Elders"

Meanwhile, countless noblemen of Bradford and Sarton were all rallying into their mountain range after hearing about the 80% pure pills and potions. Some people from the influential factions had come too.

As time passed, more and more people came. Soon, people filled the whole area. Some people even wanted to buy places earlier in line in front of Michael's home, but no one was willing to sell their place.

"What's going on? Why on earth are there so many powerful and influential people here?" Raylene woke up early to make breakfast for the children and clean the sect building and when she saw the crowd this early in the morning, she was surprised.

..

Inside Michael's house, Gaya's eyelids twitched, and the commotion outside disturbed her slumber. Soon, she heard soft knocks on the door as she finally opened her eyes.

"I swear to God if that little shit Jack!" Just as she was about to finish her curse, she remembered about the store and realized the people had come before even the morning sun.

Throwing aside her bedsheet and tying her hair into a ponytail, she went to open the door. The moment she opened the door, she was stunned by the crowd that greeted her. For a second, she stared at the sea of people before her speechlessly before talking.

"The sun hasn't even risen yet, people! Wait a few hours, Alchemist Ghost will be here with you soon" Gaya shouted out loudly.

"Miss Aelia, I came here first, so I'll be the first person to order!"

"I have come for the Energy boosters"

"I want Healing pills, my grandpa is dying!"

"I want five Revitalizing pills!"

Their shouts almost broke her eardrums as she shouted again

"Fine, stand in line. If anyone tries to cut in line, we won't open the shop"

"Do not worry, we will behave ourselves."

"If anyone dares to cut in line, I will kill him."

"Yes, kill him!"

On her way to his room, she hatched a quick plan in her mind. After seeing the crowd of customers at their doorsteps on the very second day, she wanted to put her fingers in the pie.

"Does asking 50% on the profit is too much?" asking this question, she kicked opened Michael's room door to see him peacefully sleeping on the bed. She was surprised to see him sleeping rather than cultivating because only mortals had to sleep to refresh their minds and bodies. She wouldn't have slept if she was still a cultivator as a few hours of meditations and cultivation would make her feel rested.

However, she didn't expect a genius like Michael to sleep like a baby despite the commotion outside.

"Hey! Wake up!" she came beside his bed and dragged the quilt away like an angry mother waking up her kid.

"Go away..." he didn't let go of his quilt. Like many school students and workers, he failed to fight the ten times the gravitational effect of the bed in the early morning. If he was on earth, he had to use every minute and second honing his skills because people on earth would age and become sloppy at what they do with age. However, he was not on the earth anymore, he was in a world where he could use the system to become an immortal, therefore, he wanted to enjoy little things such as morning sleep more.

He didn't plan to go from place to place often, piss off powerful people and fight all the time. He intended to enjoy this life to the fullest and experience every earthly pleasure he could. However, his earthly pleasure was being currently interrupted by this princess.

"Don't make me pour water down on you Ghost, because I will do it!"

"Give me a kiss and I will wake up" he reached out his hands as his eyes were still shut.

"Sure thing, come closer" Instead of being angry, she sounded sweet and moved closer. He could feel the hot breath coming from her and a tint of jasmine. Although he knew she's not going to kiss him, he curiously moved closer and closer to see what she's planning.

"Ah!" his curiosity soon answered as she took a bite out of his left ear.

"That's what you get for a kiss, you damn bastard! Now wake the fuck up Ghost, we have rich goats to milk" Finally the thought of getting richer made him jump out of his bed.

"Master Ghost!"

As Micheal and Gaya were standing in the room, Daniel and Ricky came running but when they saw Gaya, both of them halted their steps.

"Oh?! forgive...us..Master Ghost" Ricky blushed and bowed asking forgiveness as he thought Gaya and Michael were busy on the bed.

"Why the fuck are you blushing?" Gaya shouted at Ricky and when he opened his mouth, she yelled again

"No, I don't even want to know, if I did, I would beat the shit out of you. Come, we have a business to open" She took both Ricky and Daniel to set up her executive chair that she recently fell in love with and her workplace.

"Ghost go get ready!"

"Daniel wait, I have another job for you"

"Make it fast," Gaya said and walked away leaving Daniel behind.

"Daniel, I want you to go and get the list of all criminals or anyone we shouldn't sell our products from the guild or anywhere you can" A while ago, he saw bounty posters on the Adventurer Guild notice board. Considering he needed to be here, he decided to ask Daniel to get the posters. However, the reason for this was not about selling his products but putting his plans in motion.

"As you wish, Master Ghost" Daniel didn't ask any questions as he bowed and turned to leave as Michael stopped him

"Be discreet"

..

After sending Daniel on his way to the Adventurer Guild, Michael brushed his teeth and put on his Neo robes.

"Human" Gaya came looking for him before he steps out of his room again

"Claire and the oldies are here"

"Let's go meet them"

Right at the moment, Claire and the Elders were standing in the hall and the sight of this much crowd outside the house stunned them. They knew the people were waiting for Michael but they didn't know why they came here instead of going to his shop at Bradford.

When the elders and Claire turned their gaze away from the crowd, they saw Michael as their mouths slightly opened.

"You had a breakthrough?! AGAIN!?" Elders Miles's heart skipped a beat. Only yesterday he was at the Body Refining stage level 5 but just in a day, they saw him reach level 6.

"A true genius"

"Brother Ghost is a freakin monster"

"With this rate, he would reach the next stage in a couple of months"

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 500 badass points]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 800 badass points]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 1000 badass points]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 600 badass points]

Just by impressing the Elders and the few disciples behind them, he reaped a bunch of Badass points. While the Elders were staring at him shocked, Claire had a gentle smile on her face as the more he grew, the more chance they would have to revive their sect.

"Sect leader Claire, Elders" he greeted them with a wide grin and a nod

"Sorry for not informing you about this, I would have moved the shop here if it wasn't for what happened in Bradford with Jane. I realized that if she messes with me again, I would do more than breaking her bodyguards' bones. I didn't want that, so I decided to move the shop here, I hope Sect Leader Claire and the Elders don't mind. I wanted to inform you yesterday but meeting with the Guardians took some time"

"Guardians?!"

"From The Guardian Guild?" Elder Miles felt the world around him spinning in shock and dropped onto the chair behind him.

"What did they talk to you about if you don't mind us asking?" Elder Sandra asked with a soft voice.

"They asked me to become their trainee but I rejected them"

"You did what?! Oh my god, I'm going to die!" Elder Miles screamed again and fainted on the spot as the other Elders also looked quite startled.

Claire heaved a sigh of relief inside. If he left the sect to join the Guardian Guild, how could she revive her sect?

"Ghost, tell us everything that happened," Elder Mark asked and the elders sat down on the sofa.

"Of course, Elders. Just give me a moment" He grinned widely because he realized that if he concocted pills and brew potions while talking to them, he would look more badass and accumulate the much-needed Badass points, not to mention the gold coins.

"Aelia, start taking the orders, we are opening"
