"But Mr Sheng, this matter has to do with crazy beast." Nil whisper to his ear showing him a core in his hand.
"You say?" The man face instantly clear up as he heard that word 'crazy beast'
"Sometimes ago while exploring the outer region I had an encounter with a beast which seems to be crazy and I heard from my friends that you are gathering information from these crazy beast that's why I come to you."
Nil brought out the core of the cat King which the man Sheng swiftly collect from him, inspecting it.
"Is that so?"
Sheng did not even believe one bit that Nil kill a beast at the 8th stage of Liquid gathering realm while not even forming his own core yet.
And not only is the beast a mere 8th stage Liquid gathering realm, but also a crazy beast.
One had to know that if a beast and a human at the same rank of Cultivation were to fight, the beast usually beat human 70% of the time.
That is because beast usually have a much more studier physique, can summon more physical power and more agile than human.
Now Nil is saying he killed a beast that have become crazy 'Overloaded it's core'. How is Sheng supposed to believe that?
"And you kill the beast while being coreless?"
"No Mr Sheng, I am only using a disguise to conceal the rank of my core." Nil replied.
He already expect that question so he have prepare an answer beforehand.
"How do I know that your cultivation is not at the Crystalization realm, maybe it is due to your cultivation being that high that you are able to kill this crazy beast." Sheng said still suspicious of Nil.
"I am only at the peak of Liquid gathering realm Mr Sheng, you can be assured of that. However if you want to confirm we could go somewhere more secluded so that I can show you my cultivation."
He have foresaw this question too and have prepare himself for it.
"Alright, let's go somewhere more secluded."
Sheng then went to pay the bar attendant before heading out with Nil, as they went to an inn not far from the bar.
Sheng then collect the key to the room he have rent before from the inn attendant before heading to his room with Nil.
"Okay, you can now show me your cultivation."
'The trickier part now come.' Nil thought before he start gathering mana.
Of course, Nil is not at at the Liquid gathering realm. In fact, he is not a cultivator at all so he did what else he could to trick Sheng.
He started gathering mana in such a way that it was concealed from Sheng perspective, even with his high perception Sheng couldn't notice the mana that Nil was gathering.
If anything, he only felt a brush of wind.
And that is the essence of the technique Nil was about to use, it all had to do with stealth. If the observer perceive even a faint mana is being drawn to him they will quickly know he is not using his own mana but mana he just gathered.
Gathering the mana, he concentrate it inside his stomach and started emulating a core presence.
He did not just emulate the feeling of having a core but also added a presence to it— the presence of a cultivator at the 9th stage of Liquid gathering realm.
For a moment his presence fill the whole room adding a weight that has not being there inside before inside the room.
Even Sheng at the 3rd stage of Crystalization realm could feel the weight of Nil presence, his muscles muscles tightening, his expression becoming tense like he is in front of a predator for a split second before the pressure recede like a wave in an instant just like the way it have appeared.
Receding back to the core of the kid in front of him.

'Just when I thought the description will be more detailed, it end in such a way that the description kept me funding for more answer.' Nil thought.
But he did not need the system to describe his skills for him anyway, he already know the description and the usage of the skill himself.
"I've just remove the spell that is concealing my cultivation rank for a couple of second, is that enough for you to confirm that is my cultivation rank or do I need to remove the spell again?"
"Uh? No, it's okay. That's enough to prove yourself." Sheng reply.
"Now, about the information. What is the reward I get if I share the information about where I found the crazy beast?."
"Kid, do you mind leaving the information.". Sheng said pausing for a moment.
"I've got something more rewarding for you."
"Is that so?" Nil lean forward waiting for the words that Sheng will voice out next.
"I have a mission of you which is highly dangerous, even for the like of you I don't think you can survive it.." Sheng said pausing a little to look at the expression of Nil.
After seeing that the part about death dud not faze Nil he continued.
"Even me myself almost die while on that mission, so are you certain that you want to accept the mission?" Sheng asked.
"Old man, if you want to give me the mission just give me, because you almost due does not mean I will die."
Sheng brow twitch at that reply.
"If you say so; A couple of days ago while I was exploring the silent forest, I encounter some crazy beast which I want you to go and kill and bring their core to me, if possible find how the best become crazy."
As Sheng said that the system immediately materialize in front of Nil, displaying new contents.

"And so it begins." Nil mumbled.
