After a whole hour of looking around for a suitable target, Ren Qingquan finally locked his eyes into a big dot in the system map. From its size, the creature is most likely at Martial Saint level. Choosing a suitable place according to his knowledge, Ren Qingquan asked the system to also help him calculate the formula and what not. Planting several grass purchased from the system according to a certain shape, Ren Qingquan then purchased a carving knife made out of Third Princess's tal and proceeded to engrave the stone with rune like things while occasionally sending a little bit of his spirit inside. As there are many runes required, when he is finished, the sun is already above his head. Checking his dantian, he could feel the amount of spirit qi decreased by a tenth.
'System, is this formation correct?'
[Yes.]
With the system's affirmation, Ren Qingquan Went and provoked the Martial Saint realm ferocious beasts nearby. Luckily it hasn't moved from the ti he first engraved the formation until he finally finished it.
Looking at the huge bull at that location, Ren Qingquan threw his engraving knife toward that bull. Once the knife struck, that bull was imdiately provoked and ran toward him. Activating Agile Step with all his might, he ran toward the range of that formation.
Once the bull arrived within range and he was already outside the range, Ren Qingquan sent another wisp of spirit qi toward the formation. With that, the formation is activated and turns every soil within 10 ters radius around it into a 2 ter deep mud swamp.
When the formation activated, Ren Qingquan could see the bull seed to be trapped and couldn't move even after shaking its body really hard. Releasing his tal plate from system storage, Ren Qingquan easily pierced that bull using his tal plate with a spike.
Devouring the bull's corpse increased his points by 400. Upon devouring the mud and formation core that already got swallowed inside the mud, Ren Qingquan received another increase of almost 100 points.
'Although the effect is pretty underwhelming and only turns soil into mud. But at least it could be devoured back and make this formation ans to have almost 0 cost.'
Upon finishing his experint, Ren Qingquan went to check the system shop. Just like what he expected, he could see the spirit he had just created being sold in a system shop.
[Daily Shop (Refresh in 23:27:41)
....
Spirit qi, 1000 points. Description: Spirit qi generated from Ren Qingquan's Body Tempering Technique.
...]
Looking at that price, Ren Qingquan imdiately continued his job of devouring mountains to buy it. When evening arrived, with the leftover points he had and the point he gained from devouring half a mountain, Ren Qingquan could finally purchase the spirit qi before it got refreshed.
Just like that, more than three weeks soon passed with Ren Qingquan devouring mountains, smashing ferocious beasts, and burning ferocious beasts that couldn't be smashed. Without knowing it, Ren Qingquan has even arrived at the border between Inner and core area of the Endless Mountains. Luckily or unluckily, he actually never t with any Martial Lord ferocious beast during his ti in the inner section.
With 30 000 points in his pocket, Ren Qingquan makes his way toward the Martial Spirit Sect in satisfaction to join Formation Peak's monthly etings in ti.
Rushing using his Agile Step throughout the night, Ren Qingquan soon arrived at the sect. When he is entering the exchange hall to trade his ferocious beast hearts, a notification from the system suddenly appears.
[Host! Try to look at the map. There is an acquaintance there.]
Opening the already upgraded system map with 1000 ters maximum range, Ren Qingquan could see a dot marked as a human that is circled by the system around 200 ters from him.
Activating [Scan] on it, Ren Qingquan saw a familiar na.
[Human: Ren Qingchen, unable to devour
Age: 16
Realm: Fourth Stage Martial Grandmaster
Technique: ???]
Looking at Ren Qingchen's realm, Ren Qingquan is incredibly shocked.
'Whoa, he actually reached Martial Grandmaster so quickly!'
To be honest, Ren Qingquan is slightly curious about Ren Qingchen's experience and wished to et him. But, the Formation Peak's eting will soon start and if hasn't arrived by then, he might have so annoying task to do.
While selling his ferocious beast's heart at the exchange hall, Ren Qingquan heard about how the sect actually tried to start a store business that sold mixed things from ferocious beast materials, so pills, weapons, etc. Selecting and overseeing the first store's location as it is built will most likely be the mission for Formation Peak.
Entering the Formation Peak's eting hall, as Ren Qingquan expected, the first topic is regarding that store.
"I have been invited to the sect's eting yesterday and they said the sect might need us to calculate and oversee the construction of the sect store's main branch."
After all mbers entered the hall, Peak Master Fen imdiately started the topic.
"According to our Formation Peak's custom, as Ren Qingquan is a new mber of this peak, he will be the one to be sent to handle this mission. Does anyone else have any dissatisfaction with this decision?"
Hearing Peak Master's word, everyone else nodded their head while thinking as long as they aren't the one chosen. Even his uncle followed along and nodded.
'Damn it, uncle. I thought you would at least help . I don't want to do this stupid task at all! It seems I need to use my trump card.'
Before they could finalize that decision, Ren Qingquan quickly spoke.
"Peak master, could you let skip this task? Currently I have reached Peak Martial Grandmaster and am preparing to advance my realm to Martial Saint."
Hearing his words, Peak Master Fen's pupils slightly glowed as he activated the skill to see other's realms while staring at him. Soon, a shocked expression could be seen in his old face followed by a thoughtful look. Looking at Peak Master Fan's thoughtful face, Ren Qingquan is almost certain he will be able to push this stupid task to others. He guessed that Peak Master Fan's calculation probably went like this:
Young Martial Saint-> Will quickly reach Martial Lord -> Beca the Peak Master-> Peak Master Fan is retired and freed from joining the sect higher up's etings every month.
"Well then, how about we skip Ren Qingquan and advance the queue to the next person."
Just like what Ren Qingquan guessed, Peak Master Fen indeed let him skip this mission and send it to that senior brother as the person to handle missions after him, which is the senior brother. Seeing the person chosen, Ren Qingquan realized that senior brother might be happily introducing him around Formation Peak when he first entered because that senior brother could delay a mission and let the new disciple do it.
Although that senior brother grumbled and looked dissatisfied, he didn't dare to bla the Peak Master and only glared at Ren Qingquan.
Don't look at Peak Master Fen's amiable face. He has overheard from the previous eting that other peaks don't have sothing like Formation Peak's monthly eting. Just because Peak Master Fen needed to join the Sect higher up's eting every month, he created this whole monthly eting out of spite so the other mbers of Formation Peak couldn't rest while he worked. So, if you sohow get on his nerves, you must be prepared for so bad luck.
Next, Peak Master Fen started the resource sharing. Receiving his resource, which is a box of pills, Ren Qingquan looked at the pill inside and scanned it.
[Blood energy pill, devour for 0 energy. Description: used to generate flesh and blood energy. Made using ferocious beast's heart as its main ingredients and using several plants as sub ingredients.
Plants used in the pill are: ....
Step to create the pill:...]
Looking at the description of that pill, Ren Qingquan finally found out where the ferocious beasts hearts the Martial Spirit Sect always purchases end up.
Soon, the eting entered the most noisy section where Peak Master Fen tried to make anyone else as the new Peak Master. This ti, Ren Qingquan is also occasionally targeted.
When noon arrives, all of them imdiately leave the eting room. Entering his already dusty room, Ren Qingquan used [Devour] to clean the dust on it and decided to rest today.
The next morning, Ren Qingquan decided to continue his journey to devour mountains in Endless Mountain. Before that, Ren Qingquan rembered his experience of being turned into a punching bag by the leopard and chose to craft several new skills using the system.
First, Ren Qingquan asked the system to create a new defensive skill by combining all defensive type skills he has while focusing on defense and flexibility. After spending 100 points to create it, he nad it Body Hardening. A simple to the point kind of na. Spending another 125 points, Ren Qingquan learned the skill to perfection.
Next, he created an attack skill. Learning from his experience of barehanded combat (beating) from Third Princess, Ren Qingquan created a skill that if used in tandem with Body Hardening will allow him to use his body parts as a weapon to deal damage. This ti he spent a whole 200 points instead of 100 to create it. As the skill could be used to make his body imitate a weapon, Ren Qingquan nad the skill Armants Transformation. Spending 250 points which is twice as much as Body Hardening skill, Ren Qingquan increased Armants Transformation to perfection.
Ren Qingquan's personal panel have now transford into this:
[Na: Ren Qingquan
Realm: Pseudo Martial Saint
Point: 29000
Profession: Formation master (Extrely Weak.) Note: Please don't call yourself a formation master in front of others with your current skill.
Technique: Body Tempering (Martial Saint)
Skills: Armants Transformation (Perfection), Agile Step (Perfection), Body Hardening (Perfection)
System function: Devour, Shop, Scan, Library, Map (1000 ters radius), Calculate, System Storage (100 cubic ters).]
Except for his skills, there is also an additional profession section.
After finishing his upgrades, he went to the mission hall and took missions to kill ferocious beasts as usual, after which Ren Qingquan imdiately left the Martial Spirit Sect. This ti he is looking for a Martial Saint ferocious beast to test his new skills and train his combat power. As soone with a cheat, being incapable of leap frog fighting makes him an embarrassnt for every fellow cheater.
Upon leaving the sect and running toward Endless Mountain's inner section, Ren Qingquan started to look around for a Martial Saint beast while opening a system map. Seeing the group of dots marked as ferocious beasts with a big dot at its center, Ren Qingquan imdiately ran toward it.
This ti, he t a group of 10 gorillas consisting of 6 gorillas below Martial Grandmaster, 3 gorillas above Martial Grandmaster, and 1 Martial Saint gorilla.
Running toward one of the Martial Grandmaster gorillas using Agile Step, Ren Qingquan activated Body Hardening and Armants Transformation. With that, his arm soon is enveloped by energy made of spirit qi which is a new way to use spirit qi that the system has calculated which is imitated from how a Martial Saint stage martial artist could release their blood energy.
Before the group of gorillas could react to his arrival, his arms already slashed the neck of a Martial Grandmaster Gorillas. Looking at their dead friend, the group of gorillas used their trademarked knocking at the chest move while roaring.
Ignoring those gorillas's roar, Ren Qingquan continued to kill that group of gorillas in a 1 vs 8 battle. Soon, only a red eyed Martial Saint gorilla is left. After a lengthy battle, Ren Qingquan finally defeated the gorillas and achieved a leapfrog battle.

Looking at Ren Qingquan finally defeating that group of gorillas, I felt proud just like when a father sees his son finally ride a bicycle without falling.
