A few days later, Ren Wei finally heard the rumor from Qin Rouxi.
Apparently, the royal family thought a skilled thief entered their Royal Mirror Hall basement and stole some valuable information they were not aware of. That's the current situation that the royal family was thinking.
Upon hearing that, Ren Wei felt it was kind of funny that they thought like that. He only got the information regarding the Blood Mist Hall which was not exactly a kind of too valuable information.
Now, all he had to do was to sit back, relax and wait for the time.
Anticipating that, Ren Wei continued living a leisure life in the manor. Teaching in the daytime and fishing and relaxing in the night.
His only trouble was Qin Yue, who would come from time to time to disturb his peaceful life. And everytime she came over, Ren Wei would quickly slipped away from his place and hid somewhere.
As days turned into weeks and weeks into over a month, the royal family still wasn't able to figure out what the thief stole from the Royal Mirror Hall.
And Ren Wei himself wasn't doing so well. His daily fishing rewards were getting him anywhere. As time went on, he started losing hopes.
Just like every night, he was fishing at a remote pond at a remote place, just a few distance away from the capital city.
As usual, he didn't have high hopes for the night.
And reality proved his feelings were right.
His first reward was just some low grade spirit stones. And his second reward wasn't exactly better. Just some mortal grade fruits.
Eating the mortal Grade fruits, he just got a few minutes ago, Ren Wei continued waiting for the third catch of the night. A bored expression on his face.
Playing his fishing rod, he tried catching his last catch.
However, even after more than 30 minutes, he still could not catch a single fish.
But, he didn't care at all. He had all the night.
Thinking of many things, Ren Wei patiently waited.
After another 10 minutes later, he finally caught something.
Pulling up the fishing line, he saw a white silver fish stuck on the hook.
Smiling lightly, he took it.
[Fish: Light Silver Fish.
Grade: Peak Mortal Grade.
Details: Just a fish who loves to swim in the nighttime.]
Like luck was finally ready to stand on his side, when Ren Wei put the fish into his pot, a surprising reward arrived at his doorstep.
[Reward: A Powerful stand of Heavenly Ice Qi. Capable of blessing Divine Domain Realm.]
Seeing the reward, Ren Wei finally let out a hearty laugh. It was like he had been waiting for too long.
After laughing for a while, he finally calmed down.
Taking a deep breath, he clicked 'yes'.
[Consume it right now?
N/Y]
As soon as the Yes botton was clicked, Ren Wei felt the warm yet cold feeling flowing through his body.
To effectively absorb and digest the Qi, he sat down in a lotus position. And then, he started channelling his cultivation technique. It was the only time he could use the cultivation technique.
As he started channelling the technique, he could feel his body consuming the Heavenly Ice Qi.
Before long, he could feel his dantian getting fuller and fuller as time went on.
But he could feel it was not quite there yet.
Without his knowledge, the time passed quickly like a strong river current passing his point.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the first hour early morning when the sun wasn't even up yet.
When the first ray of sunlight fell on Ren Wei's body, a fascinating sight was revealed.
His body was all covered in frost, from top to bottom. And about 10 meters of radius around him, it was all full of snow.
In that time of summer season, that was a beautiful sight.
However, the sight didn't last long. Just a few seconds after the sunlight hit him, all of that snow and frost quickly disappeared.
Ren Wei smiled and slowly opened his eyes. When the sunlight hit his emareld blue eyes, it became a godlike scene.
He quickly check for any changes in his body.
When he found out that he was already at the peak of Level 5 Divine Domain Realm, his smile widened even more.
Even though, the increase in his level didn't grant him any devastating powers and skills, if for sure did increase his power level by a large degree.
However, his happiness didn't last long.
As soon as he felt the changed, a notification popped up.
[Congratulations, you have finally reached the Divine Domain Realm Level 5.
From now on, you will only get one chance of reward everyday.]
'What the.. hell!?' Ren Wei tilted his head and looked at the absurd notification of the treasure.
For a moment, he didn't react all.
It was only after a minute that he screamed out loud.
"HOW THE HELL THAT IS A THING TO CONGRATULATE!!?..." His voice was so loud that it scared all the living things near him. If he had used his spiritual Qi, it would have been a devastating disaster.
Huff...huff....
Ren Wei felt like a bull fuming in anger with smoke coming out from the nose.
After calming down and checking, he found out the reason.
As his Realm increases, his karma was going with the flow. So, when his power level hit the Level 5 Divine Domain Realm, his karma also hit a high level.
And as his reward was base on the power of karma exchange, it was difficult for the treasure to do 3 rewards for everything.
He also found out that as his Realm continues to increases, the reward will change. Likely from 1 per day to 1 per week, then maybe more.
Thinking about it, Ren Wei felt it made sense.
-----
After a while, Ren Wei decided to test the new kind of reward. Well, since he was already near a pond and it was already another day. So, why not.
He took out his fishing rod and cast the fishing line.
In the meantime, he sent back a clone to his manor. He instructed it to teach Qin Rouxi. Since he didn't know how long it would take for him to catch a fish.
And he was right to do so, he could not catch a single fish even after waiting for hours.
It was already the noon time and he was still sitting on the same spot.
Then, he remembered the thing that happened when he was still back at his town. The time when he could not catch a single fish at the river. Only after some investigation he found out the reason was because the fishes there at the river was not enough to carry the karma.
'Maybe, it's the same thing?' Thinking of that, he immediately left the pond and entered deeper into the forest.
If other people were to found out that Ren Wei found spiritual pond where spiritual fishes were in abundance, they would be too mad at Ren Wei found leaving it behind or not informing them.
Spreading out his sense, and activating his Ghost Karma Pupils, he started searching for a water source where there could be more powerful fishes and capable of carrying his karma.
However, he could not find it.
Looking at the sky, Ren Wei knew it was likey passed noon and was already the start of even hour.
Reluctant, turned around and went back.
No, he was already at the 5th Level, it was time to carryout the plan he had in mind.
Unexpected, on his way back, he found an interesting thing.
On the remote forest path, he found some unknown people hiding in the dark, ready to ambush.
'Are they waiting for me?' He thought. But after a while, he realized maybe not.
So, just to be sure, he had to test the water. It wasn't that he was a busy body. It was because he found those unknown men oddly familiar.
He disappeared from his spot and appeared behind one of the man. But the man was still crouching behind the tree, seemingly unaware of him.
Only when Ren Wei saw the symbol behind their dresses did he realized why he found them familiar. It was the same symbol those assasin wore when he was in the White Lake Town. The symbol of Blood Mist Hall.
And now, a question popped up in his mind. Why were they there? Were they really waiting for him? Were they waiting for someone?
And from the looks of it, it wasn't like they were waiting for him. Because the strongest among them was only at the Dharma Phantom Realm.
Confused, Ren Wei decided to wait.
As he waited, he was somewhat impressed by the patience of those Blood Mist Hall assasins.
Even the weakest of them was impressive. Which showed how professional and how skilled they were. Clearly they were more advance than those he met before.
As they waited, the sun set and nighttime came.
When the nighttime fully engulfed the whole world in sight, Ren Wei realized what they were wating for.
It was a night caravan. And from the looks of it, it was just a simple one. But when he looked more closely, he found out something.
Though it looked like the caravan was simple, and it was true. But the people accompanying it were not.
With his clear and powerful sense, Ren Wei sense beast Qi from them.
Suddenly, his eyes widened, 'Spirit Beast Mountain!?'
