While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

Angela had a very reckless and spontaneous nature which was both the root to her success and the thing that got her into trouble all the time.

Luckily she was favoured by her precinct's captain, who admired her youthful talent and drive, and gave her slightly more freedom and leniency than the other detectives under him.

She wove between the cars and exceeded the speed limit, which she was allowed to do in emergencies, and rushed towards the location her subordinate reported to her.

"Angela, I will cover for you, but just be careful okay" communicated to her, her subordinate through her police radio.

"I appreciate your help" she thanked as she turned off her radio and focused on driving.

Meanwhile, Adam was at the last gang on the list, that Elizabeth labelled as similar or slightly below the Wolf Fang Gang in terms of power.

Elizabeth believed it wouldn't be too difficult for Adam to deal with them, after witnessing Adam seemigly kill the Wolf Fang Gang leader with ease, and saw it as a perfect opportunity to get a decently sized gang under her, which would greatly increase her strength.

In the eyes of the large families and powerful cultivators, they were merely small gangs, but in comparison to normal people, they were quite wealthy and powerful, but they were still afraid of the police and didn't cause too much trouble.

The leader of the gang was at a similar cultivation level to the Wolf Fang Leader and was almost a rank 2 Novice Cultivator.

Adam knew he could defeat him in a one on one battle, despite his strength being on par with that of the leader of the gang, with his skill and Hunter's mind that enhanced his reflexes and reaction speed.

Their gang base was a small building block, that could house around 100 people, which was more than enough space for their gang's base.

They owned and protected the area around their estate, while the leader and a few others trained in External Cultivation inside the building, outside of the public eye.

The External Cultivation Methods that they used, in comparison to those of the large and powerful cultivation organisations and families, were merely glorified workout routines. But for an ordinary person, that was ignorant to true cultivation, it was amazing.

It was enough for a person that was remotely talented in cultivation to become a rank 5 Novice, but most the population didn't have the talent and potential in their bodies to surpass the Novice grade and would struggle to even reach rank 5 within their lifetime.

The speed at which they could strengthen themselves, compared to the speed of gaining strength that Adam was capable of reaching, was like a snail against a car.

But considering their ignorance to true, high-level cultivation and their lack of necessary cultivation resources and skills, they were quite successful, just like the Wolf Fang Gang, and had quite a lot of influence in the area around their base.

Adam approached the area stealthily, as the sun began to set, while Elizabeth and her driver parked in the closest safe place, that was a few blocks away, where they could await Adam safely and escape if they needed to.

Elizabeth was always cautious and both her and her guard were armed and prepared to shoot, as they awaited Adam's return after getting the final gang to submit.

She was looking for loyal subordinates, that she could trust to protect her and her organisation, while also strengthening themselves and the influence of the Silver Moon Auction House.

However with her lack of strength and power currently, the only thing she could entice the small gangs with was the money she had left in her reserves to bribe them to join her, and slowly earn their loyalty and promise them rewards.

As her influence increased, so would her power and with influence and power came wealth, which she would draw in through holding auctions that she would take a percentage of.

Nearing the block that the gang was staying in, Adam was shocked by the number of people that were stationed outside and couldn't help but curse at Elizabeth within his mind.

Elizabeth's estimations and information about the current state of the gang were very off, and she had underestimated the manpower and numbers of the gang.

After the Wolf Fang Gang lost their leader and his son, they parted ways without another powerful leader to take control, and most of them seeked another gang or group to join.

One thing the Wolf Fang Gang Leader and many other gang leaders, that knew about cultivation and had cultivation methods, would do was keep most of the cultivation method they had to themselves, while only passing on the early chapters to their subordinates.

Although it lowered the strength of their gang, it cemented their power and authority within the gang and also made it so that they couldn't be surpassed.

External Cultivation Methods for the first rank of the Novice grade were quite easy to come by with money, and were thrown out by powerful cultivators who could produce them with ease. To them, it was an easy way to make money and wouldn't have any repercussions to them.

While for methods like the one that the Wolf Fang Leader had, that had the potential to reach the 5th rank of the Novice Grade, they required a lot more money, or were passed down over generations.

Cultivation wasn't a secret and many people would do it without realising, such as athletes who were able to surpass their human limits.

But instead of training their bodies with food and exercise, cultivators would use different movements, techniques, methods and exercises that would allow their bodies to absorb and store the energy that was around them in the atmosphere or in special items, medicine and plants.

The methods helped less talented individuals, that couldn't naturally sense the energy around them, to be able to begin to absorb the energy into their body and gradually become more intuned with the process.

Cultivation not only increased the strength of the cultivator, but also decreased the ageing of their bodies ever so slightly.

Although it wouldn't be much for early ranked Novice Cultivators, maybe only a few years, for those at higher stages of cultivation, they could live for hundreds of years, as displayed by Adam's master.

Both External and Internal Cultivators would increase their HP through cultvation, which not only represented the amount of damage they could sustain, but also the vitality and recovery speed of the person.

Adam could sense that the vitality and life force, that kept people alive, was low in his master's body and it seemed he was prolonging his life with his energy and an unnatural method.

But he ignored it and didn't intrude in his master's business, as he planned to profit as much from his master as he could while he was still alive.

[It seems that the Wolf Fang Gang members joined this gang after their leader was defeated] observed Adam.

"This will be a harder task than I thought" mumbled Adam to himself as he was both annoyed and excited for what was to come.
