Chapter 602 - Qi Device "Does this mean we are done here?" Yuan asked after their faction was created. "Not completely. Your faction has been created, but we still need some more information, such as the location of your faction headquarters, and if you want, you can register your members' cultivation base into the system so that we can rank your faction." Chairman Lee said. And he continued, "Of course, the higher rank your faction, the more benefit you can receive." "The location of our faction?" Yuan mumbled. "What if we don't have a location yet?" He then asked. "That's completely fine. It's not required to have a headquarter for your faction, but most factions have one, as it makes them look more professional. Also, it would make things more convenient for the members if they can all live in the same area." Yuan turned around and asked the others, "Well? What do you guys think?" "We don't have any living quarters at the moment since we weren't sure if you wanted us to stay afterward, but we can live in hotels or rent out someplace near your apartment if it's too much to get our own headquarters since they're not cheap." Wang Ming said. "If it's a money issue, we can simply ask our families for help." Li Jinxi said calmly. "I think it's more of a location issue since I don't have any ideas where we should make our headquarters," Yuan said. "If you need help looking for a headquarter, our Cultivators' Association can help you. We have specialists for this kind of stuff. We will help you scout out areas based on your preferences, and we can give out loans with zero interest if you need help with money." Chairman Lee suddenly said, realizing that this is a perfect opportunity to make things right between the Cultivators' Association and Yuan, whose faction will surely become a top power in the near future. Yuan pondered for a moment before nodding his head, "Okay, we'll rely on you to scout for a place." "Very well! Just let me know the details and the Cultivators' Association will do everything in its power to find you a suitable place! Are there any more questions?" "Then can you tell me about the faction ranking and what kind of benefit we can receive?" Yuan then asked. "Of course! Every faction can be ranked depending on its overall prowess and influence. From the lowest rank to the highest, we have Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and lastly, Crimson." "As for the benefits… You can receive monthly allowances and assistance from the Cultivators' Association and all of our allies." Chairman Lee then continued. "The rank and benefits only matter if you join the Cultivators' Association. The Spiritual Elites doesn't have any rank because we didn't join the Cultivators' Association, but we would easily qualify for the highest rank." Wang Ming said. "I see…" Yuan nodded. "Actually, you can still receive an official rank and some benefits even if you don't join the Cultivators' Association. It just won't compare to those who join our Cultivators' Association, and it'll be harder to get approved." Chairman Lee explained. "If we don't have to join the Cultivators' Association to receive a rank, we will do it." Yuan then said. Even though he couldn't care less about their rank, he wanted to see how they compared to the other factions. "Very well. Please give me a moment." Chairman Lee then retrieved something from under the desk. "This is a Qi Device, it can analyze spiritual energy and determine one's cultivation with fairly good accuracy. It was only created very recently as well. Try it out." Yuan and the others looked at this machine with raised eyebrows. "Here, let me show you." Chairman Lee then placed his hand on this machine before pressing a red button. A few moments later, the words 'Ninth Level Spirit Apprentice' appeared on the screen. "Let me try next!" Wang Ming was the first one amongst them to try out the machine. After putting his hands on the machine, he waited for the results. "T-Third Level Spirit Warrior?!" Chairman Lee's eyes widened with shock when he saw the results. "Third level? That's not right. I'm actually at the seventh level Spirit Warrior." Wang Ming corrected him. "What?" Chairman Lee looked at Wang Ming with a look of disbelief on his face. "Maybe the machine isn't ready for cultivators above Spirit Warrior since most people are still Spirit Apprentices." Shi Lang said. "That makes sense." Wang Ming nodded. "If that's the case, there's no point for the rest of us to try it since we're all above Spirit Warrior and it won't be able to accurately tell our cultivation." Xi Murong said. Chairman Lee was left speechless by Xi Murong's words. They were all above Spirit Warrior? Where on earth did so many geniuses come from? "I-I am sorry for the inconveniences. It will probably take some more time before these machines can handle Spirit Warriors…" Chairman Lee apologized to them. "It might even take a few years before they can handle Yuan, who is already a Spirit Master." Wang Ming laughed out loud. "Anyways, since we cannot accurately gauge your cultivation level, let's just focus on your headquarters for now. What kind of preferences do you have in mind? Such as the scenery, the size of the building, and your budget." Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking, "I don't really care about the scenery or the location as it's in a convenient area. As for the size of the place… I would prefer it if it could fit over 10, even 20 people comfortably. As for our budget… it doesn't matter either." Chairman Lee continued to ask Yuan a few more questions about what he wanted for their headquarters. Fifteen minutes later, Chairman Lee nodded, "All done. Please give us a week to scout for your headquarters. I will notify you the moment we finish." "Okay." Yuan nodded. "It was a pleasure helping you. I look forward to the day your faction reaches the top." Chairman Lee said to them before leaving the scene. Yuan and the others left the Cultivators' Association shortly afterward.
