Reincarnated as an Energy with a System
chapter-309

Ning appeared next to a large city known as the Broken Soul city. It was a simple city on a flat plain and didn't have any distinguishing features to separate it from cities like the Golden Moon city, or the Five Professions city.

Still, the city had its own charm. Ning walked into the city and made his way through the marketplace around the afternoon before getting to a large mansion.

He walked up to a guard and said, "is lady Eleonora home?" he asked. From what he could tell, Eleonora must have some faster artifacts to fly herself back home along with her brother.

So, she should've been home by now.

"Yes, senior," the guards answered. They could see Ning's cultivation base and didn't dare disrespect him.

Ning was finding it quite amazing how people didn't cause problems for him if his cultivation base was high. If he were to ask the same question as a Golden Core realm cultivation, there was no doubt he would be sent away without a single answer.

"Can you let her know that… uh I'm looking for her?" Ning said. He had just been given the medal of honor and was there when the Emperor was attacked, so he was sure his name would spread in a few days.

If people found out he was there, they would all group up to meet him. So he decided to not give his name away so easily.

"May I know what I should address you as, senior?" the guard asked.

"Uh, just tell her the man with the system is here," Ning said.

The guard nodded and walked back in. Soon, Ning could Eleonora's figure rushing out of the door.

She was wearing a simple green dress along and had her hair braided behind her. She looked like a spoiled young miss, contrasting her identity as a stoic teacher.

"What are you doing here? I heard you had a cere—"

"I'm done. So, I came to find you. We have a lot to talk about," Ning said.

"Of course, come inside," Eleonora called him in. "I was waiting to talk with you but the staff started sending people home and I needed to fly my brother home."

"I assumed I would talk with you later, but it seems you couldn't wait at all," she said with a chuckle as she walked in with Ning behind her.

"Did… did the young lady just laugh?" one of the guards asked.

"So, I wasn't tripping? I have been here for decades and I haven't seen her smile aside from when she's with her family," the other one said.

Eleonora took Ning inside the mansion. Ning looked at the inside and chuckled.

"You and your brother must've had it hard to suddenly switch to the academy quarters. Those are like hundreds of times worse than what this is," Ning said.

"Well, at first, yeah. But you get used to that," Eleonora said.

The servants bowed towards Eleonora where ever she went and finally, she took him to a living room.

"Where are your parents? And your brother?" Ning asked.

"I don't have a mother. She died over 2 centuries ago. As for brother and father, I believe father went out because of some urgent news he heard. He should be returning soon," she said.

A servant walked in with some fruits and treats and laid them on the table.

"The hospitality is not bad," Ning said with a smile.

"Of course. We may be a smaller family compared to others, but we won't shy away from making our guests the most comfortable while they're at home," she said.

"Right, why is that? With all the artifacts you've made, your family should be well off on money," Ning asked.

"I don't sell everything I make. Most I keep for myself. Besides, It was only later that I've managed to make good ones," she said. "If I sell those, I will definitely earn a lot of money, but at the same time, I will also have a lot of enemies."

"My family is too small to fight off those vultures who will rip us apart alive if they saw the slightest hint of money on us," she said.

"I see, well, that's not a bad idea," Ning said. "Still, you must be using your system way more than I am."

"Do you have the artifact system too?" she asked curiously.

"No, mine is a different system. It's called the Energy System and… I can do a lot of things with this, I guess. As long as I've gathered enough energy that is," Ning said.

"Oh, mine is a point-based system. I make artifacts and earn points. Then, I can buy stuff from a very long list of items," she said.

"Like the Analysis you use to look at people's cultivation base?" Ning asked with a smile.

"Yeah… well, sorry about how rude I was. As I said, I'm quite protective of my family," she said.

"Don't be. It was my fault in hiding my strength anyway," Ning said.

"Not like it helped at all. You're still much stronger than what I can see," Eleonora said.

"You need to get analysis that works on body cultivation too," Ning said.

Eleonora moved her hands in front of her and made some typing gestures.

"Jesus Christ! It's 50 points? That's so expensive," she said.

"What's your normal point earning rate?" he asked.

"I get 1 point per grade of item I make," she said. "Since I make about 7-8th grade item every time, It will take me close to 5 months to earn this amount."

"Wait, does making artifact take this long?" Ning asked.

"Oh no. Each of the artifacts I make has to be a new design, so it's annoying. Otherwise, I don't earn any points," she said.

"Since the artifact is new, it takes me time to make the blueprint. So, I usually end up taking close to half a month, if not more for most artifacts," she said.

"Hmm… that's not that good," Ning said. "Oh right, by the way, I've been meaning to ask this, but…"

"Are you from Earth?"
