Tianyang City.
“Break through for me!” Qin Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed, his hands rapidly forming seals, each of his ten fingers displaying a unique gesture. As the medicinal power of the last Origin Essence Pill was refined, Qin Xiao shouted lowly, his spiritual power surging through his meridians as it struck against a thin barrier.
BOOM! A muffled sound echoed within him, a sound only he could sense. His body trembled slightly and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. Even after swallowing five Origin Essence Pills, he still failed to break through to the 3rd stage Spiritual Power Realm. He was just one step away.
“System, how many Fortune Points are needed to break through to the 3rd stage Spiritual Power Realm?” Qin Xiao asked unwillingly.
[Ding! Host has reached the peak of the 2nd stage Spiritual Power Realm. Only 300 Fortune Points are required to break through. Would you like to proceed?]
“Only 300 Fortune Points? Not much at all. System, break through for me.” Qin Xiao chose without hesitation.
As 300 Fortune Points disappeared, spiritual power surged within his body. The thin barrier was pierced with ease, and his aura instantly rose to the 3rd stage Spiritual Power Realm. Qin Xiao’s face lit up with joy as he said, “Good, very good. After more than a month of bitter cultivation, I’ve broken through two minor realms. Truly worthy of celebration!”
Just then, the Fortune Plundering System chimed again.
[Ding! Congratulations host. Your adopted son Ye Tian has encountered a great opportunity. His Fortune Point increased massively. Because you are his adopted father and bound to him, you have plundered one-tenth of it. Congratulations host, you have obtained 100,000 Fortune Points!]
“What?! What did you say? 100,000 Fortune Points? System, did you make a mistake?” Qin Xiao was completely stunned. In the year he had lived in this world, he had carefully plundered Fortune Points bit by bit, and even then, the total he had gathered wasn’t even half of this sudden windfall. This was truly a heaven-sent blessing!
[Replying to host, the system never makes mistakes. Please do not doubt the accuracy of this system.] The system’s response was filled with arrogance.
“My son Ye Tian, awesome! As your father, I am proud of you!” Qin Xiao shouted excitedly upon hearing the confirmation.
After calming down, he asked curiously, “System, what opportunity did my adopted son obtain to gain so much Fortune Point?”
[Replying to host, the system does not know. If you wish to find out, you may spend 1,000 Fortune Points to let the system search.]
Qin Xiao’s lips twitched. “Search costs 1,000 Fortune Points? You might as well be robbing me.” He directly ignored the system’s suggestion. Even if he knew, it wouldn’t change anything right now since he was still in Tianyang City. Follow the newest chapters on novelping . com.
“System, I want to break through directly to the Yin-Yang Realm!” Qin Xiao declared boldly. With 100,000 Fortune Points, he was confident. If he reached the Yin-Yang Realm, he would be among the top experts in the entire Great Wei Empire. After all, the strongest figure known in the empire was said to be at the Unity Realm. Without Unity Realm powerhouses appearing, a Yin-Yang Realm cultivator could dominate wherever they pleased.
[Ding! Congratulations host, consuming 2,600 Fortune Points, you have broken through to the 4th stage Spiritual Power Realm.]
[Ding! Congratulations host, consuming 2,900 Fortune Points, you have broken through to the 5th stage Spiritual Power Realm.]
[Ding! Congratulations host, consuming 3,100 Fortune Points, you have broken through to the 6th stage Spiritual Power Realm.]
…
…
…
[Congratulations host, you have broken through to the Yin-Yang Realm.]
In total, Qin Xiao spent nearly 30,000 Fortune Points to push his cultivation all the way to the 1st stage Yin-Yang Realm.
Name: Qin Xiao
Cultivation Realm: 1st stage Yin-Yang Realm
Cultivation Technique: Solar Scripture (4th layer)
Martial Skills: Great Flame Blade (Yellow Rank supreme grade, mastered), Fierce Tiger Fist (Yellow Rank high grade), Step-on-Waves Movement (Yellow Rank low grade, mastered)
Fortune Points: —
[Note: Fortune Points can be used to improve cultivation, increase proficiency in techniques and martial skills, and purchase items in the system shop.]
Looking at the panel, Qin Xiao’s expression turned strange. Though he had the cultivation of the Yin-Yang Realm, his strength was far from matching it. In fact, he might even be considered the weakest Yin-Yang Realm cultivator. After all, which Yin-Yang Realm cultivator only relied on Yellow Rank martial skills?
The Yin-Yang Realm was the fifth realm of martial cultivation. Cultivators of this level typically cultivated at least Earth Rank martial skills, even if they hadn’t had time to train them fully. At the very least, they would have mastered supreme Profound Rank martial skills. Qin Xiao, on the other hand, only had Yellow Rank martial skills.
“It seems I must fix this weakness. First, I need to purchase the 5th layer of the Solar Scripture. Then I’ll need to buy an offensive martial skill, a movement skill, and best if I can get a body-forging technique as well. That way, my attack, strength, speed, and defense will all be balanced.” Qin Xiao planned his next steps carefully. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
“System, purchase the 5th layer of the Solar Scripture.”
[Ding! Congratulations host, you have spent 10,000 Fortune Points to purchase the 5th layer of the Solar Scripture.]
“So expensive! 10,000 Fortune Points gone just like that.” Qin Xiao felt his heart ache, but there was no turning back.
“System, recommend me one blade technique, one movement skill, and one body-forging technique. They must suit my current cultivation and have growth potential. And please, not too expensive.”
[Ding! System recommends: Blazing Ninefold Blade (Earth Rank mid-grade) – 4,500 Fortune Points. Ethereal Traceless Steps (Earth Rank mid-grade) – 4,700 Fortune Points. Nine Revolutions Golden Body Art (first five layers) – price higher.]
Qin Xiao frowned. “System, this Nine Revolutions Golden Body Art is even more expensive than a Yin-Yang scripture. Why?”
[Replying to host, the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Art is among the most powerful body-forging techniques. Once trained to the 9th layer, one’s physical body can rival a Quasi-Emperor. Naturally, it is costly.]
“Forget it, I’ll hold off on body-forging techniques for now. System, purchase the Blazing Ninefold Blade and Ethereal Traceless Steps.”
[Ding! 4,500 Fortune Points consumed. Blazing Ninefold Blade successfully purchased.]
[Ding! 4,700 Fortune Points consumed. Ethereal Traceless Steps successfully purchased.]
[Note: Martial skills purchased through the system will instantly reach the mastered stage.]
“So I can directly reach mastery? That’s incredible!” Qin Xiao was stunned but delighted. Martial skill mastery usually required decades of bitter cultivation, yet now he had skipped all the hardship in one step. This purchase was truly worth it.
