“System, based on my Fortune Points, recommend me a cultivation technique that suits me, one with lower difficulty and faster cultivation speed.” Qin Xiao carefully organized his words and stated his request.
[Ding! The system recommends the host to choose the first three levels of the Solar Scripture. (The complete technique is Emperor Rank.) It can help the host cultivate up to the Spiritual Power Realm. This technique is simple and fast to practice. The host only needs to bask in the sun and absorb the pure yang power. It meets the host’s requirements!]
When he saw the technique recommended by the system, Qin Xiao raised his brows. This Solar Scripture was excellent—just basking in the sun could improve cultivation? Such a good technique actually existed? He immediately asked, “System, how many Fortune Points are needed for these three levels?”
[Ding! Host, the first three levels only require 2,000 Fortune Points.]
“Pu! System, you’re ruthless, you want to take away all the Fortune Points I worked so hard to gain!” Qin Xiao gritted his teeth. This system was definitely doing it on purpose!
[The host doesn’t have to buy it…]
“Buy, I’ll buy the Solar Scripture!” Qin Xiao waved his hand decisively, though his heart ached.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for spending 2,000 Fortune Points to purchase the first three levels of the Solar Scripture!]
As the 2,000 Fortune Points vanished, the complete cultivation method of the first three levels appeared in Qin Xiao’s mind. Just as the system had described, it was indeed simple and fast to practice. During the day, he could absorb the strongest pure yang power from the sun, and even at night, though weaker, he could still draw from the lingering pure yang left in the air.
This technique suited him perfectly. Qin Xiao preferred staying low-key, avoiding unnecessary fights. Having such a method to steadily raise his cultivation was ideal.
At that moment, Ye Suxin stirred awake beside him. She gently pushed him and said softly, “Husband, it’s getting late, we should get up now.”
Qin Xiao snapped out of his thoughts and nodded, “Ah? Oh!”
Ye Suxin got up, her face blushing slightly as she endured the discomfort in her body. She shyly served Qin Xiao, helping him put on his clothes. Watching her busy figure moving around the room, Qin Xiao felt a warmth in his heart. She was truly a perfect wife—gentle, considerate, and understanding.
“Honey, you’re so gentle and caring. Being able to marry you is my greatest blessing.” Qin Xiao held Ye Suxin’s slender waist and whispered. In his previous life, he could never have imagined marrying such a considerate wife.
Ye Suxin lowered her head, her face turning red as she said softly, “Husband, you’re teasing me.” Yet her heart warmed at his words. At least her husband was a thoughtful man. Find the original chapter at novelping.com.
Qin Xiao shook his head seriously and said, “No, I’m not joking. Don’t worry, I’ll treat you well.”
Hearing his sincere promise, Ye Suxin’s heart trembled, and her eyes showed a trace of emotion as she said, “Thank you, husband.”
After dressing, the two walked out of the room. Qin Xiao went to the backyard and sat on a large rock. As the sunlight poured down, warming his body, he instinctively activated the Solar Scripture. The warmth spread throughout his body, making him feel incomparably comfortable. Without noticing, he spent the entire day cultivating, only stopping when the sun set.
The effects of the Solar Scripture were astonishing. His cultivation had improved significantly in just one day. At this pace, he could reach the peak of the Innate Realm within 20 years. Compared to his old techniques, this was a massive improvement.
But Qin Xiao was still dissatisfied. As a man with a golden cheat like the Fortune Plundering System, needing 20 years to reach the peak of the Innate Realm still felt far too slow. He complained, “System, isn’t this speed too slow? An Emperor Rank technique shouldn’t be like this!”
[Ding! Host, please note, the reason for your slow progress is not the technique, but because your talent is too low. Plus, your age is advanced and your potential has already been mostly exhausted. This has nothing to do with the technique itself.]
Qin Xiao felt as though his heart had been pierced. The system’s blunt words hit hard—poor talent, older age, no potential left? Couldn’t it have phrased it more kindly instead of wounding him with harsh truths?
Seeing his sudden change in expression, Ye Suxin asked curiously, “Husband, what’s wrong?”
Qin Xiao quickly hid his frustration and forced a smile. “Nothing, I just remembered some things from the past.”
Ye Suxin didn’t press further and simply sat by his side, quietly feeding him fruit.
…
Meanwhile, in another residence, Qin Long asked anxiously, “Big brother, the Yang Family is selling off their properties. Are they planning to run away?”
Qin Zhan, sipping tea calmly, gave him a side glance. “Isn’t that obvious? If they don’t run, are they going to stay and wait for death?”
Qin Zhan said impatiently, “They’ve already admitted defeat and withdrawn. Do you really want to push them to the brink?”
Qin Long clenched his fists unwillingly. “Even if we don’t destroy them completely, we should at least make them bleed a little. Letting them go so easily is too cheap for them!”
Qin Zhan was silent for a moment, then opened a drawer and placed a stack of land deeds and property deeds on the table.
Qin Long was stunned. “What’s this?”
Qin Zhan said calmly, “These are properties I acquired this morning at a very low price from the Yang Family. It’s nearly half their assets.”
Qin Long froze for a moment, then turned and left silently. No wonder his brother wasn’t worried, sitting there sipping tea—he had already bitten off half of the Yang Family’s wealth. All his fretting had been unnecessary.
…
In the back mountain of the Ye Family, Ye Tian lay on a large boulder, a blade of grass in his mouth. He chewed it slowly, letting the bitterness spread in his mouth. Lifting his hand to block the dazzling sunlight, he sighed softly, “Mother, are you doing well?”
His eyes turned dazed. Normally at this time, his mother would come to call him home for dinner with a gentle voice. But now, he could only lie there in loneliness, as if forgotten by the world.
“Qin Family!”
Hatred welled in Ye Tian’s heart. If not for the Qin Family, his mother would never have left him.
Just then, a clear and crisp voice called out, “Brother Ye Tian, so you really are here!”
Turning his head, Ye Tian saw a young girl of about eleven or twelve, dressed in a green dress, smiling brightly at him. She carried a calm and pure aura, like a lotus blooming in clear water. Though still young, she already possessed a trace of elegance that hinted at the stunning beauty she would grow into one day.
