As the sun began to set, Pei Ling returned to the Pei Residence.
Most of the servants he encountered along the way pretended not to see him and busied themselves.
When he was about to leave the area of the main courtyard, a servant girl stopped him. “Madam said that the disciples of the Holy Sect staying in the residence for the time being like the pastries made from Colorless Ganoderma. I’ll trouble you to find more in Yuanlao Mountain tomorrow. When the time comes, Madam will reward you handsomely!”
“I understand.” The servant girl’s cavalier attitude was apparent, but Pei Ling thought nothing of it. He was satisfied with his status in this massive manor, just like the courtyard he was living in now. It was remote, inconspicuous, quiet, and no one cared about it. Of course, no one served him.
Even if he killed someone in the middle of the day and burned the corpse to eliminate the evidence, no one would discover it here.
After all, it was no longer popular to be reckless. The big shots were all keeping a low profile.
Stability was the way to go.
He was very experienced in this aspect. After all, in his previous life, Pei Ling was a steady person (cowardice).
In addition, the world he had transmigrated into in this life was not a harmonious society. It was a world of cultivation, a strange place, with demon beasts in the wild… Although the family that his current body was from had some influence, as the subordinate of the demonic overlord of the Deep Sea Sect, who could massacre 1,500 kilometers away with a word and a blow, he felt that his future was unfathomable.
Therefore, he had developed the habit of reflecting on himself three times a day:?Did I slack off today?
Can I be more careful and slack even more?
What other slacking methods can I employ?
With this cautiousness, Pei Ling, who transmigrated as a fetus, finally grew up steadily until now in an environment where his mother had died early, his father was a scumbag, his stepmother was jealous, and dark undercurrents were brewing in the large clan.
Yes, he even secretly developed the boon of a transmigrator.
“System!”
After entering the small courtyard where he lived alone, Pei Ling immediately locked the door. After strictly checking that all the doors and windows were closed and confirming that no one had entered the room, nor was there any eavesdropping monitoring, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He suppressed his excitement and called out in his mind, “I have already gathered the spirit stones needed to activate it. Activate it now.”
Ding-dong!
With a crisp notification, a translucent panel that only he could see slowly surfaced in front of him.
[Name: Pei Ling.
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Status: Disciple of the Pei Clan Side Branch in Deer Spring City
Stage: Level 2 of the Qi Refinement Stage
System status: Not active.]
A neutral voice without any emotion sounded in Pei Ling’s mind and solemnly confirmed, “Enough spirit stones to activate the system detected. Host, may I ask if the system is allowed to absorb them immediately to activate the system?”
Pei Ling took a deep breath. “Yes!”
The three hundred low-grade spirit stones that he had thought of every means possible to even deduct from his cultivation since he was a child were instantly swept clean by an invisible force.
Meanwhile, gorgeous flames surged out from the panel in front of him, and the characters flashed crazily.
A moment later, the interface became clear again, and the system’s voice seemed to contain a tinge of joy. “The Smart Cultivation System is at your service. Enjoy one-click management, smart upgrades, and fully automated cultivation! No more accidents, no more inner demons! I shall fulfill your dream of ascending!”
Immediately, the [System Activation] at the bottom of the panel changed silently, and soon, it was replaced with a new interface. There were five choices in the new interface: [Select Technique], [Select Magic], [Select Magical Power], [Select Duration], and the final [One-Click Cultivation].
A rare tinge of excitement appeared in Pei Ling’s usually calm mood.
He could not wait to use his mind to press down on [Select Technique].
“Please choose the cultivation technique you wish to cultivate…”
The system’s voice sounded again. Then, the three words “Bone Forging Art” appeared in the system interface. This was the Pei family’s cultivation technique and the only cultivation technique he could choose currently.
The Pei family’s Bone Forging Art was divided into three stages: iron bone, essence bone, and jade bone. Once the iron bone was formed, it was invulnerable to swords and spears. The fist was like a heavy hammer, the palm was like a blade, which could tear apart tigers and wolves.
However, this cultivation technique came from a fiend sect as the process had a distinct demonic style.
Every time one cultivated, he would have to break all the bones in his body and shatter them. Then, he would use the Bone Forging Art to refine the broken bones and “combine” them again to achieve the goal of increasing toughness! If one’s heart was not strong enough, they would often be unable to withstand the pain of their bones breaking the first time they cultivated the Bone Forging Art and would give up halfway. Some with poor qualifications who cultivated it would even die from the pain in the process.
It could be said that every cultivator who cultivated the Bone Forging Art had excellent talent and character.
Of course, this was only a normal cultivation method. If the technique was cultivated together with the use of the Bone Tempering Pill, not only would the pain be greatly reduced, it could also be cultivated twice as fast with half the effort. However, the Bone Tempering Pill could only be refined by the Deep Sea Sect. With the Pei Clan’sinfluence, they were only allocated ten Bone Tempering Pills a year.
As the backbone of the clan, the Pei family head naturally took five. The three elders each took one, and the eldest son took one… As for Pei Ling, he had not even seen what the Bone Tempering Pill looked like!
Therefore, without the use of Bone Tempering Pills, for Pei Ling to be able to cultivate half a body of iron bones all these years, and to cultivate to the second level of the Qi Refinement stage, proved his exceptional talent and unwavering determination.
“Under normal circumstances, one complete cultivation of the Bone Forging Art, without the cooperation of the Bone Tempering Pill, would require at least three months, even with the nourishment of many herbs. If you are too impatient, your body will not be able to withstand it and it will only have the opposite effect.” Pei Ling rubbed his hands excitedly. “However, I have the system now!”
He eagerly wanted to know the cultivation effects of this system. Therefore, after choosing the cultivation technique, he immediately clicked on [Select Duration]. He originally planned on choosing a shorter time to experience it, but the top choice was [1 year], followed by [10 years], [100 years]…
Pei Ling was speechless…
There was only a [Temporary Cultivation—Smart Duration] at the bottom.
This allowed Pei Ling to heave a sigh of relief. He immediately chose this, then clicked on [One-Click Cultivation]!
“The Smart Cultivation System is at your service!” After the interface flashed twice, it gradually faded away, and the system’s voice returned to its normal tone. “Enjoy one-click management and smart upgrades! Now, you can begin the managed cultivation. A gentle reminder: During the cultivation period, the host will lose control of the body. Please do not panic…”
Immediately, Pei Ling felt slight dizziness. Immediately after, an invisible force poured into his body, rapidly arranging his body into a cultivation position.
Right after that, his Dantian heated up slightly as the Bone Forging Art automatically circulated. All the bones in his body felt a sharp pain before they began to break down bit by bit. Under the circulation of the Bone Forging Art, they vibrated at a high speed and rapidly metabolized. Meanwhile, the pores all over his body opened up, and many of the impurities in his body were expelled during this process… The entire cultivation process was smooth, skilled, and even revealed a sense of natural harmony.
Compared to his previous training, he had to divide his attention to multi-task. If he was careless, he would be seriously injured and on the verge of death. The system’s supervision was simply an enjoyment.
This system was simply too suitable for a slacker like him!
It was simply a masterpiece of conscience!
Just as Pei Ling was overjoyed, the system suddenly made a “Ding Dong” sound. Immediately, the translucent panel reappeared. “Bone Tempering Pills are missing for cultivation. Please wait a moment…”
“Please wait a moment…”
“Please wait a moment…”
???
This… the system actually requires the Bone Tempering Pill for one-click cultivation? Where am I supposed to get the Bone Tempering Pills for the system??
“Ding dong!” The system notified again, and the words on the interface changed…
“Analysis complete, the system will give you ten Bone Tempering Pills for free.”
So good?
Pei Ling could not help but feel energized.
Just as anticipation built, his body suddenly stood up.
?
His body walked out the door without hesitation.
??
He was momentarily stunned. Then, he watched as his body rushed out of the small courtyard at a speed that far exceeded his current cultivation level. Like a shadow, he rushed into the Pei family’s Jade Parasol Compound in a few seconds.
At this moment, Pei Ling finally reacted. It was the Jade Parasol Compound!
It was the residence of the disciples of the Deep Sea Sect!
They were important guests that the entire Pei family had to host carefully!
What the???
