"Too much info..."
Leo grunted,as the new information gave him a slight headache.
"But quite effecient and helpful..."
"Now I do not have to seat and read..."
Leo had no time for studying,with all the work he had to put into not just leveling up but also establishing the territory, which made him appreciate the system more for it’s thoughtfulness. Now all he needed was to pick up a manual and let the system do it thing,and if a slight uncomfortable headache was the price that he had to pay,Leo would gladly endure with a smile.

"I knew the deal was too good...!"
Leo grunted,as once more,the system had pulled one on him,now he had to wait till next week as to automatically learn the second manual. But still,he was excited,as with the new information,he could be considered as to have stepped on the potionist path.

"Finally,some change..."
Leo smiled as he dismissed the status panel.
"You can keep these for now..."
Leo handed the two manuals back,to the young woman who had a curious face on,and she was not the only one. The three had wondered why their young lord had suddenly gone into a trance for a dozen or so minutes.
"Why are you all looking at me like that...?"
Leo’s hiss brought the three back to their senses.
"Pardon young lord..."
The young woman and Hu,said in unison.
"You were staring into nothing big brother..."
The little boy said, though his voice was barely a whisper. Amongst the three system issued summons,he was the only one who could openly talk to Leo, though he held him in awe and had mad respect for him,he felt closest to Leo,and hence was not as wound up as the other two.
"Oh...!"
Leo was surprised.
"For how long..m?"
He inquired.
"A dozen or so minutes..."
The young woman responded as she received the two manuals.
"I see..."
Leo took note of this.
"It seems that I fell into a trance..."
A cold chill ran down his spine.
"What if there was an enemy nearby...!"
"Will I not be dead...!"
With such thoughts crossing his mind,Leo swore to be careful next time.
"Did you receive anything else...?"
He inquired further. Just the two manuals and a personal Potionist,though she was still an apprentice was a great gain for him and the soon to be territory. But it would not hurt if there were more harvests.
"Yes..."
The young woman said as she took out a small copper cauldron and some dozen or so herbs from her bundle. She also took out some paste and bamboo tubes,which were filled with potions that she had made.
"I made these..."
She said as she proudly displayed her work.
"This is a healing paste for open wounds..."
She pointed at a small bundle tied up in some broad leaves.
"And these are minor healing potions and stamina drought..."
She pointed at four bamboo tubes,there were two of each potion.
"And what is that...?"
Leo pointed out as his sight had fallen on a jade like token partially covered by the herbs.
"This..."
The young woman picked up the jade,that had a light blue hue,that appeared to be fading. She held up the jade,as she admired it.
"I do not know...!"
Her response was blunt.
"May I hold it...?"
Leo requested as he his guts told him that this was a good thing.
"Mmh...!"
The young woman agreed as she softly threw the jade like token. Leo caught it and took his time examining it,before casting his ability, inspect.
The jade like token was hard and cold,just like a jade,but Leo noticed that on both sides were some characters engraved,but had faded over time.
"Inspect..."
System Alert: You have activated Inspect.

Target: Sect Token
Tier: One
Level: Outer Court Disciple
A sect token belonging to the Long Valley Sect,a tier one sect now in ruins.

"It seems that this woman is nothing but a luck goddess in human skin..."
Leo thought as he unceremoniously stored the sect token in his inventory.
"That’s mine..."
The young woman looked wrong. She had even let her composed and respectful look drop. To the current her,Leo was no longer her young lord but a rascal bandit that had snatched away her beautiful jade.
