5 Training
The first thing Alan did was look at himself in the mirror. He was satisfied with the change. The difference was in line with his own rating, which meant that Zila's rating could be considered very accurate.
His face had changed slightly, and his skin had also turned fairer. He also noticed that his eye color had changed. It remained grey, but there was not a dull look in it anymore.
Now, it was time to ask the next question.
"How many Celestial Points can I acquire through my current wealth?" Alan was curious about the conversion system.
'It's a 1:1000 ratio. For every Celestial Point, you need 1000 Demon Spirit Coins and vice versa,' Zila immediately responded.
"I see…" Alan spoke while thinking deeply. He didn't plan to convert his wealth value to the Celestial Points. He still didn't have a concrete idea of what the Wealth Value constituted and how the Celestial Immortal Book converted it into the Celestial Points.
There was a high chance this wealth value included Shen Yue's personal properties. According to the memories he inherited, Shen Yue possessed cash of merely 60,000 Demon Spirit Coins.
Alan soon called out for a servant and asked them to bring a barber to his room. The barber arrived and gave him a proper haircut.
Long blue hair fell down on the ground as Alan stared at his face in the mirror. His long blue hair had now been reduced to medium-sized blue hair. The haircut was pretty good as his bangs greatly emphasized his handsome appearance.
Haircuts played a huge role in a man's charm. An amazing haircut greatly boosts a man's natural charm.
'Alright, now let's think about the situation at hand and what I know. With my current identity as a Sacred Family member, it will be easy to deal with Nie Li immediately. But that's probably not what the Celestial Immortal wants.'
'Nie Li doesn't have the entire Temporal Demon Spirit Book, so if I have to accomplish the mission, I need to let him acquire the Temporal Demon Spirit Book before seizing it from him through force,' Alan thought.
He further thought, 'I should use my family's influence and wealth to investigate Nie Li. Let's see what kind of individual he is.'
Alan left his room and met up with his brother, Shen Fei, while he was on the way out of the Sacred Family's Mansion.
Shen Fei had a sneer as he gazed at Alan. He spoke, "Hoh hoh…Did you really cut off your hair? I thought that you going crazy was just a rumor. But I see it's quite real."
Alan coldly stared at Shen Fei and whispered very softly, "Zila, status."
[

According to the information Alan had inherited, Shen Fei's talent was quite impressive to have reached 1 Star Gold Rank in his late teens.
Because of his impressive talent, Shen Fei held a much greater status in the Sacred Family when compared to Shen Yue. Shen Fei was a rather arrogant, possessive, and prideful individual. He was the type of person who would be instantly offended if someone debated with him.
However, the situation would be much worse if you showed him the slightest bit of weakness. He would definitely take advantage of that weakness and eat you dry. He was also a playboy.
Alan offhandedly spoke, "Whatever makes you sleep at night."
Shen Fei responded by sneering in his direction and spoke, "Spoken like a true coward. You don't even dare to take a swipe at me now."
Alan passed him as he didn't need to speak to Shen Fei any longer. Shen Fei didn't dare to do anything to Alan since the Sacred Family was planning to use Shen Yue in a huge plot. And this plot involved the Snow Wind Family.
'This guy shouldn't disturb me for some time. But still, he will be an annoyance. It will be best if I prepare a countermeasure against him,' Alan concluded in his mind.
'I need to focus on my next task. The Fighter Apprentice Class. It will start tomorrow, and that will be my chance to interact with Nie Li and plan my approach. The instructor of the Fighter Apprentice Class is Shen Xiu from the Sacred Family, this body's aunt, apparently. Her talent can't be considered very impressive since she is barely 3 Star Silver Rank. But still, she does hold a lot of influence in this family. I can use her to deal with Nie Li,' Alan came to this conclusion soon enough.
However, it was also highly likely that Shen Xiu wouldn't actually listen to a word from Shen Yue's mouth. Shen Yue was still young in the Sacred Family and in a Noble Family; being young meant having low power, and low power meant no influence, which would lead to no one following his orders.
Now, having a few underlings listen to him was a different matter as compared to having an elder listen to him. So, he had to gather power quickly. And for that, he required Celestial Points.
The Fighter Apprentice Class was tomorrow, so he had to wait before he could earn Celestial Points from Nie Li.

Alan soon entered a forest near the Sacred Family's mansion and began meditating. He had learned to meditate in his previous life and was pretty proficient in it.
It didn't take him long to sense the overwhelming quantity of Spiritual Energy in the air. Alan absorbed this Spiritual Energy by utilizing Sacred Cultivation Art, which was the cultivation technique that all Sacred Family members utilized.
Suddenly, Zila spoke up in his mind, 'Master Alan, don't cultivate anymore! You are about to reach the Bronze Rank with this technique. If you reach the Bronze Rank with this technique, you won't be able to switch to a better technique without reducing your cultivation base. The technique you are cultivating is trash compared to the techniques in the system that master personally chose for you.'
"I see. Thanks for the heads up," Alan spoke. His aim wasn't to grow stronger but to get a feel of how it felt to cultivate.
"Teach me to control this Soul Force, Zila," Alan ordered Zila.
Alan spent the rest of his day learning to control the Soul Force. His Soul Force Control had reached intermediate level after half a day of training!
