Knock Knock
'Eh? Someone knocking at this time?'
Normally disturbing cultivators at night was considered rude since most cultivated at night. Disturbing someone in meditation at important moments could result in Qi deviation and even lead to unreconcilable injuries.
"Who is it?" Qin Wang yelled out.
"I'm so sorry to disturb you miss but I am here to deliver the outer sect identity plaque and clothes."
A young man shouted back. The young man seemed to be a servant of the administrative house of the Sect.
A servant like him would never dare to disturb Qin Wang at night if she was anything more than a maid.
Qin Wang opened the door and saw the young man with short black hair carrying clothes with a bronze plaque on top. The servant seemed timid and frail indicating the lack of spiritual root in the man.
"U-Um here is your outer sect clothes and identity plaq.....ue....miss"
The timid servant as if star stricken suddenly lost his train of thought for a moment as he looked into Qin Wang's bewitching eyes.

Favorability: 2
Favorability: 3
Favorability: 4
Every second that passed the favorability rating of the servant went up by 1. The servant stared at Qin Wang's eyes as he spoke about the uses of the identity plaque.
'It really worked? I didn't think these bewitching eyes had such an effect.' Qin Wang thought.
"Since miss Qin is just a maid your identity plaque will only help you come in and out of the sect grounds and for your weekly cultivation resource allocation. The allocation of resources is conducted once every week. I-If m-miss Qin needs help you can call for me at the A-Administration house at any time."
Xia Bai said with a blossoming blush as he got ready to leave. The Favorability rating had reached 20.
'This Lady Qin looks great, If only I had a spiritual root I could hope to pursue her.' The young man lamented. A person who had no spiritual roots had no right to be with someone who did have one.
Generally. a person who had a spiritual root could never be with someone who didn't have one due to the presence of qi in the body during copulation. Qi naturally travels through meridians and if a person without spiritual roots were to have qi in their body, the body would likely explode or die within a couple days.
"I will be sure to notify brother." Qin Wang replied with a smile.
To Xia Bai, Qin Wang's smile felt like a gentle breeze that washed over him.

AP +1
As Xia Bai left the courtyard, he felt like skipping home with joy evident on his face.
Favorability: 24 could be seen above his head.
Qin Wang watched Xia Bai's departing figure and had an epiphany.
"So this is what I was like" Qin Wang felt pity for the man but also delight. With this system she could make countless men and women do her bidding couldn't she? Wouldn't becoming a Core Formation cultivator become not just a dream? Qin Wang wondered.
Her Admiration points had reached a whopping 51 points.
"Do I get more from higher level cultivators?" Qin Wang wondered.
She decided to test out her system tomorrow on Fang Yong. Although a outer sect disciple currently of the Jade Dragon Sect due to being a 5th stage Qi Refinement cultivator, Fang Yong had a 2nd grade spiritual roots and had a high attainment in the Sword Dao. It was inevitable that he would become a core disciple in the future.
Qin Wang wanted to test out whether the talent of an individual could also play a role in the amount of points she received.
"If 20 Favorability points is 1 AP from an individual with no spiritual roots, then wouldn't I get 5 AP even if it was maxed at 100 favorability? Or maybe the amount I receive increase the higher the Favorability is?" Qin Wang couldn't help but want to test out the features of this system she had received even more now.
Weaklings really didn't have much use for her and in the pursuit of immortality. She would have to max out favorability of 5-10 people without spiritual roots to even get to a D rank spin.
"I guess I have no other use for these points than to use them" Qin Wang thought with a hungry expression.
Qin Wang pressed the D spin again. The colorful wheel appeared and started spinning.
Why save when you can gamble it all?
A couple moments later the spinning wheel halted once again. A sound rang out in her mind.

The beginner level of Sword Dao insights hit Qin Wang harder than the truck that had landed her here.
The basics of handling the sword, the intermediate techniques, the advanced techniques that were the foundation to the Sword Dao that many cultivators spent 10's of years to master were hammered into Qin Wang's head repeatedly until her mind grasped the techniques to their fullest extent.
Qin Wang's Qi turned sharp, her demeanor had changed ever so slightly. If the servant was still here, the woman known as Qin Wang had turned from a bewitching flower to an Thorny Rose. The red hue from her eyes complimented by the demeanor of a sword immortal created the illusion of an untouchable fairy.
Qin Wang came back to consciousness and looked towards the self defense sword given to her by her mother held at the side of the dresser. She unsheathed the sword and took a look at the mundane sword that carried nothing special to it.
Dust and dirt had ridden the blade dry. Only one thing stood out about the sword. The person who had made the sword had put their heart into it. The shape and the hilt were perfectly set and the signature of the blacksmith was written on the back of the sword. Only someone with years of experience with swords could notice something like this though.
The Sword Dao had provided Qin Wang not only the skills but also years of blood, sweat and tears that the experience would have required her to reach this realm. Qin Wang had went thru such an experience which lasted years for her but in reality had lasted a few seconds of time.
Qin Wang pulled out a clean cloth from the dresser and cleaned the sword with the warmth of a mother who had not seen her kids for years. The process may have taken longer than 30 minutes before she was satisfied.
As Qin Wang got ready to swing the sword the sword intent rushed towards the wall in front of her. The of the woman had changed drastically as soon as she readied her blade.
She stayed still for a few moments but to anyone else spectating, the process would seem like an eternity before the woman swing the sword. The blade streaked the nothingness in front of her like a sword made of light.
Qin Wang decided not to hit the wall or else it would seem as if she had become crazy on her first day as a maid.
Even though the blade had not met the wall the pressure of the strike had left a noticeable dent in the wall made of stone in front of her.
"This system is truly amazing" Qin Wang said with a sigh of amazement. Who would have thought that the tens of years she had just spent in training the Sword Dao had just been an illusion.
Qin Wang sat back down on her bed and started meditating and cultivating her cultivation technique. The Jade Flower Cultivation Art was a female only technique that helped bring in Qi to her dantian.
The Jade Flower and Jade Dragon Cultivation Arts were a pair of the same technique. Divided between the genders and had different properties. The Jade flower technique helped cultivate the yin qi into the body and helped the skin look as beautiful and tough as a jade flower. The first wife of the founding Sect Master had insisted the Sect Master to create this derivative of the Jade Dragon technique to entice female cultivators to the sect.
The Jade Dragon Technique on the other hand helped convert the yang qi into the body to strengthen the muscles in the body until it was as tough as jade eventually converting the body into a human-dragon hybrid at the Golden Core stage.
Qin Wang decided to not worry about such things and focus entirely on cultivating closing her eyes, the ethereal qi around her being absorbed went up a notch once she entered the flow state.
Time waited on no one and the night passed as swiftly as it had come. Qin Wang opened her bewitching eyes that exuded sharpness and did a sigh of amazement once again.
