It had been 11 months since the auction. Dan had leveled up a few times.

Dan look at his new stats.

[Name: Dan]

[Level: 8]

->[Qi Gathering Stage 8]

[HP: 80/80]

[Exp: 300/12,800]

[UP points: 5]

[Strength: 183+ 3 (Sword) = 186]

[Stamina: 183 - 1 (Chestplate) = 182]

[Agility: 183 + 3 (shoes) - 1 (Chestplate) = 185]

[Defense: 1 (shirt) + 5 Chestplate = 6]

Dan had improved by leaps and bounds. He could kill dozens of himself from the past.

He had only improved by 4 levels in the last 11 months because it took more exp to level up and there weren't a lot of high-level beasts in the Kek forest to kill to get Exp. He had also managed to get 3 Lucky boxes and had saved it up.

'I only have like 2 weeks before I go back to Earth, I wanted to go to other towns and villages but it would take about a year to travel there so I didn't go there as I would just have to go back to Earth after I got to town.'

"There is a problem though, how come I have never obtained a single UP point in 11 months?"

[Don't worry, after you get back to Earth, you will have a lot of chances to earn UP points.]

'Alright, hopefully, I can earn a lot of points.'

'Since I have to go back in two weeks and I can't take my money with me, I will have to spend it all to buy something that I can take to Earth.'

Dan decided to go to the village chief. Dan used the hidden orb to make his cultivation seem like it's in the 5th stage, taking most of the money and buying something from him wouldn't cause too much suspicion about where he got the money from.

After discussing with the village chief, Dan gave away 90% of his money in exchange for something in the village treasury and the fact that he could only be inside the treasury for 1 hour.

After that, Dan was taken into the treasury which was guarded very well, and as Dan looked inside, he saw a shocking amount of items. Even with an hour inside Dan probably wouldn't be able to look at every item inside the treasury.
