Liu Ruyan burst into laughter after hearing Mu Xiaochuan's words, her body shaking with mirth, causing the ample peaks on her chest to almost spill out, making Mu Xiaochuan's blood race and his throat dry.
"You're almost in the grave, do you even have that kind of function left?" Liu Ruyan's eyes were sultry, her tone carrying a hint of teasing and disdain.
Mu Xiaochuan couldn't help but puff out his chest, loudly retorting, "Who are you looking down on? I'm still a virgin, how could I not be capable?"
"An eighty-year-old virgin?" Liu Ruyan couldn't help but laugh again, "You've never been with a woman until now?"
"That's right, which is why I'm still strong, aren't I?" Mu Xiaochuan said, his face flushed.
Liu Ruyan felt a tinge of sympathy for Mu Xiaochuan still being a virgin and also a bit of interest. She looked him up and down, her eyes carrying a hint of amusement.
"Alright then, since we've known each other for a while, and I know you've always been good to me," Liu Ruyan pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "I'll let you experience a woman before you go to the grave, so you won't have lived in vain. Consider it my compensation to you."
With that, Liu Ruyan turned around, swaying her hips, and led Mu Xiaochuan into her Cave Abode.
The Cave Abode was simply furnished, yet exuded the luxury befitting a Foundation Establishment elder. Although it was Mu Xiaochuan's first time entering an elder's Cave Abode, he had no mind to look around, only waiting for Liu Ruyan to lie on the bed...
(The indescribable content is omitted for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea...)

"Truly old, truly useless." Liu Ruyan's voice, carrying a hint of fatigue and disdain, came from within the Cave Abode, "Keep today's events to yourself, or you know the consequences."
Just as Mu Xiaochuan stepped out of the Cave Abode, he heard Liu Ruyan's warning. He was satisfied, a lingering smile of delight on his face, and couldn't help but laugh heartily, "That was amazing!"
"Ding!"
At that moment, a mechanical voice echoed in Mu Xiaochuan's mind.
You have activated the Thrill System!
Mu Xiaochuan was instantly stunned, his smile freezing on his face. He was so excited that tears streamed down his face. If he weren't still in Liu Ruyan's Cave Abode, he would have howled at the sky, "System, why didn't you come before I died?!"
Coming to his senses, Mu Xiaochuan willed it, and a translucent panel appeared in his mind, detailing the various functions and rules of the system.
[Host: Mu Xiaochuan]
[Thrill Points: 100]
[Realm: Qi Refining Stage Four]
[Cultivation Technique: None]
[Secondary Cultivation: None]
[Spiritual Artifact: None]
[Thrill System Explanation 1: The host can gain Thrill Points by making themselves feel "thrilled" in various ways. Reject moral coercion, reject internal friction; the more thrilling, the higher the Thrill Points gained. Thrill Points can be used to enhance cultivation base, practice cultivation techniques, secondary skills, strengthen spiritual artifacts, etc. Cultivation techniques, skills, and artifacts can be purchased in the Thrill System Shop.]
[Thrill System Explanation 2: Each stage increase in the early Qi Refining stage requires 10 Thrill Points, the mid-stage requires 20 Thrill Points, the late stage requires 30 Thrill Points, and forming the Foundation requires 100 Thrill Points. Once the host breaks through to Foundation Establishment, the required Thrill Points will be displayed automatically.]
[Thrill System Explanation 3: The proficiency levels of cultivation techniques are: Uninitiated, Entry Level, Minor Accomplishment, Mastery, Peak, Transcendent, requiring half, one, two, four, and eight times the purchase price of the technique in Thrill Points respectively.]
It turned out that the heavens favored him, seeing that Mu Xiaochuan had been timid and submissive in both his lives, always living for others and seldom for himself, so they tailored this Thrill System for him!
Mu Xiaochuan clenched his fists in excitement, feeling that his life was finally about to turn around.
"So, I can now break through to the eighth stage of Qi Refining." Mu Xiaochuan was overjoyed. Moreover, Thrill Points could be invested in cultivation techniques, secondary cultivation, and spiritual artifacts, which was undoubtedly a huge boost.
With a thought, Mu Xiaochuan immediately spent 20 Thrill Points to raise his cultivation to the fifth stage of Qi Refining! A powerful force surged through his body, making him feel unprecedentedly comfortable, and his lifespan increased by five years, making him feel much younger.
Given his advanced age, his body was still somewhat unaccustomed to the surging spiritual power, so Mu Xiaochuan couldn't help but spend 40 Thrill Points in the Thrill System Shop to purchase a cultivation technique called "Withered Tree Revives Technique." This technique was mainly for healing, nourishing the body, delaying aging, quickly restoring spiritual power, and bringing the body to peak condition quickly.
With a thought, he opened the panel again.
[Host: Mu Xiaochuan]
This novel is available on "pawread.com".
[Thrill Points: 40]
[Realm: Qi Refining Stage Five]
[Cultivation Technique: Withered Tree Revives Technique (Uninitiated)]
[Secondary Cultivation: None]
[Spiritual Artifact: None]
"Can't use it right after buying," Mu Xiaochuan thought, and spent another 20 Thrill Points to elevate the "Withered Tree Revives Technique" from Uninitiated to Entry Level. No choice, he was out of Thrill Points.
Feeling the power surging within him, Mu Xiaochuan finally felt confident. Hmm, let's see how it works.
He turned around and returned to Liu Ruyan's Cave Abode, his voice carrying a hint of pleading, a hint of mischief, and a hint of anticipation.
"Sister, can we again?"
