The Immortal Cultivator System

CHAPTRE 5

After several older disciples nagged him for hours because of how badly injured he was, he finally decided to buy medicine to heal his wounds, even though he also bought some Core Qi Pills, he had also bought some, to help him open up his Core Qi faster.

After he sold 5 Golden Roses, he was given 100 Sect Tokens, and now he had 80 remaining. He immediately used the medicine as soon as he returned to his small wooden house. According to the disciples, they would help him heal faster. Although they told him that if he could reach the first step of the Qi Core Realm, he would be able to use Qi to heal.

This reinforced the idea in his mind that he should reach the first step as quickly as possible. He took the pill and immediately began meditating. Since he didn't know how it worked, he had inquired about the system, and it told him that in order to open his Core Qi he needed to lead a small amount of Qi in his body and use it to destroy the layer that protected the Core Qi. . The pill was there to control the amount of Qi entering his body and refine it faster. For someone with a small talent like Jian, it would take several weeks to reach the first step. But he can practice non-stop.

After his first attempt he had destroyed the first and second layers of protection, he only needed to destroy the last three layers. He didn't even notice it, but he had been meditating for two days.

"System, I want to use the Lottery!" Said Jian. He was so focused on reaching the first Realm that he forgot the 5000 LP he had. He crossed his fingers, hoping that at least he could get something to help him cultivate faster. One of the not-so-good old disciples had told him about the Outer Tournament. Apparently he had to atleast at the first step of the Qi Core Realm to participate.

He didn't need it too much, but he wanted to increase his chances by showing his progress. Disciple in the past might have told him that he only needed to breakthrough the first step to become an inner disciple, he still had some doubts about that. Maybe the Sect just wanted to get him a little excited.

[Good, Teacher. First Use!]

[Gift: Body Exterminator Pills (Rank: Qi Core Step 2)]

[Description: This pill can strengthen one's body, making it stronger, faster, and much more efficient. These pills can only increase strength in the body, which means that this is only a way to become physically stronger without training, but it does not have the best effect. ]

Jian almost fell to the ground when he saw what he got. This pill was completely useless to someone like him who could train physically endlessly.

'But maybe I can find some uses. This Qi Core 2nd Step Pill ..... I can give it to Li Kuo, after all he does have a weak body. ' Thought Jian. Leaving the streets for years showed him that having friends was the most important thing. That was why he was willing to give this pill to Li Kuo.

Unfortunately, Jian seemed to be unlucky, as he actually obtained this pill four times! He spent 4000 LP to obtain the same pill over and over again.

"GRAY! I know I had bad luck, but seriously! This is a very bad joke!" Jian Seru. He tried to comfort himself, thinking about how he could give it to Li Kuo and how happy the noble was. Although now that he thought about it, Li Kuo was a noble. He definitely had the resources to buy such a pill easily.

[Don't be too sure about this teacher. Although he could easily afford it, Li Kuo was not the type to rely on his family. Given how weak he was, he must have done everything himself, never asked for his family's help. ]

Hearing this, Jian suddenly became more respectful towards Li Kuo. It seems like they both have a hard time.

"Okay, System ..... I want to use the Lottery once again." Jian said, strengthening himself. If he got the pill one more time he was sure he would faint. He clenched his teeth and closed his eyes.

[Dig! You receive your prize from the Lottery.]

[Gift: The Buddha's Eye Sees Everything (Rank: Unknown)]

[Description: The Buddha's Eye Seeing Everything is a technique divided into three parts. Each section can only be opened after the User reaches a certain realm. The first part can be opened as soon as the User reaches the Qi Core 4th Step. The first section allows users to see anything. Using the first part, the User will be able to detect diseases, poison or even hidden Martial Spirit or Soul Heritage.]

"Step 4th?! Goddamnit! I didn't get anything that could help me cultivate. Although I think the Eye of the Buddha Seeing Everything is a good technique." Said Jian. He stuffed the pills into his inventory and went back to meditating. Or at least he tried. He was interrupted by the system.

[Teacher, some High-Ranking Individuals are approaching. Judging from their trajectory, they headed towards the waterfall. ]

"Ranked high?! And which waterfall are you talking about?" Ask Jian.

[I'm talking about ..... Oh, true. Forget it, just follow them. You might find something interesting.]

Ever since he began to blindly trust the System, Jian fled his home just in time to see the four figures leave the forest and follow the river. Jian chased after them, and after a few minutes he reached the waterfall. What surprised him was that everything around this waterfall looked dead. Not only that, but the water fell down in a strange way, as if there was something under the waterfall. Jian hid behind a boulder and listened to the four figures speak.

"Older, are you sure the unholy energy you detected is from here?" Ask the leader of the group. He was an old man with a white beard. He was a garment similar to that worn by an emperor, although his robe was gold and dark green and he had no crown. The other three figures were all wearing the same clothes, the clothes the Elders of the sect wore.

"Yes. Sect Chief you were away when it happened so you couldn't feel it, but we clearly felt it. Before we lost consciousness, we managed to show it." Replied the Treasure Elder, who was the only Elder of the group who looked as strong as the Sect Chief. They exuded the same pure aura of control, although the aura of the Sect Chief was much colder.

The Sect Chief looked at the waterfall, then he looked around and plucked a rotten flower on the ground.

"According to Wei Lu who was patrolling here yesterday, he detected two demonic beasts in the forest nearby. Given that the Blood Tree would grow another fruit within a few days, perhaps the two of them released their auras to claim the territory as their own. "The word of an elder. The Sect Chief looked at the Treasure Elder who shook his head silently and dispersed the other two elders with a flick of his hand.

Feeling that he was about to hear something important, Jian focused and tried to get closer.

"Contest Head .... I-I feel something really terrible. The unholy Qi I felt was strong enough to almost paralyze me even though I was on the other side of the Mountain. Also for some reason it seems like Holy Unsacred Qi is targeting me. Because I am the second strongest in this Sect and you are not there at the moment .... "The Treasure Elder stopped talking as if he had a lump in his mouth. The Sect Head lowered his head and clenched his hands until he almost bled out.

"It could be anything, but because it almost paralyzed you .... That means that anything that releases this energy is at least as strong as me. We have to tell the patriarch about this. Perhaps the Poisonous King once again came out of his house. During the Outer Tournament we will give a piece of the Blood Tree fruit to all the Outer Disciples who prove themselves worthy of being Inner Disciples. We need to accelerate the growth of our students. Therefore we may have to be a little less stingy and provide some rare resources for recruits that show a lot of potential. "Say the Sect Chief. The Treasure Elder nodded and the two of them left, while Jian had a wide smile on his face.

'Ohoh! The tournament will be in a few weeks. If I can progress quickly, I will definitely get a big reward. I have to tell Li Kuo this. With the pills I will give him, he will have a slight advantage over the other disciples. 'Thought the boy before he also went home.

'System, do you know anything about this?'

[On the day it happens, your body is possessed and whoever has it releases this energy. Before You ask, I don't know who possessed You, but I can tell You that He is still in Your body. This can be a good thing because these creatures are obviously powerful but if these creatures are evil .... Your life is enough.]

Jian's blood became cold and he creeped out as he listened to the system.

'Great .... Now I have a ticking bomb on my body.' Thought Jian. But he went back to meditating. He was going to Li Kuo the next day. Now he only had one thing on his mind, and it reached the first step of the Qi Core Realm.

Sweat drenched his forehead while his breathing became heavy, his skin turned pale and his eyes trembled. He had pain tolerance and could not feel fatigue, so he could somehow destroy two layers, yet the last layer was almost impossible to break.

However after blood started flowing from his nose, Jian finally destroyed the last layer. He could now open his Core Qi. It really let him down because he felt he could open it instantly, which meant he did not have a huge Qi core and he definitely did not have great hidden talent. He still found happiness because Zhao Shu opened his Qi Core, which meant his Core was not great and even though he was a genius, Jian could still contact him.

Jian, the stubborn child, wanted to continue cultivating, unfortunately his body still had its limits and breaking through the first step of the Qi Core Realm in a single day was an incredible effort. So he fell to the floor and slept like a baby all night.

The day after, Jian was seen walking around the Outer Pavilion, waiting for Li Kuo. Around him some of the older disciples looked at him in wonder as they could feel he had reached the first step. But they still did not look at him because he was still too weak. The difference between someone at the first step and someone at the higher step was huge, because someone who was still at the first step did not know how to refine and absorb Qi properly. Also while at the first step of the Qi Core Realm, a cultivator still could not start practicing any techniques.

The thing was, it was Jian's turn to be shocked as Li Kuo approached him. He finally told the system to give him details about Li Kuo, and the results surprised him.

[Name: Li Kuo

Age: 19

Rank: Qi Core 2th Step

Martial Spirit: None

Soul Inheritance: None

Unique Technique: Zero King Sutra (Rank: Unknown) (Solution: 5%)

Mind: Anxious]

"Li Kuo, my friend! You reach-" Jian was immediately stopped by Li Kuo who put a hand on his mouth and dragged him away. Li Kuo sweated a lot and had a terrified expression on his face.

After he dragged Jian to the back of the shop, Li Kuo coughed up blood.

"Li Kuo's! You okay ?!" Jian asked, who was going to go to the store and buy medicine for his friend. Li Kuo raised his hand to stop him and smiled weakly.

"Yes and No. I reached the 2nd Step of the Qi Core Realm so I was rather happy, although it would be very difficult to reach the next step. However I-*Cough*find something terrible." Li Kuo said coughing up more blood.

Jian felt it had something to do with his Unique Technique, but he remained silent.

"Come ..... I have to admit something. If I hate depending on my family, it's because when I was a kid, after my older sister died, I wanted to become stronger, so I forced my father to give me a unique technique. which he found while he was hunting demon beasts. This unique technique was useless to him because he could not use it, and even though he did not want him to give it to me. I never used it because I was afraid of what would happen to me if I did, and that was because one day I tried to use it and some kind of demon tried to take control of my body. But yesterday .... I'm using it, and you see the results. My body was always weak, but now it's ridiculous. Given the fact that my family is rich, I can buy some pills to help me ..... Unfortunately the Sect of the Poisonous King did not allow me. When you became a disciple of this sect, you did not leave the sect unless it was for a mission. ”Kata Li Kuo's. Jian listened to him without saying anything but he had a question.

"Why are you using it? The tournament is in a few weeks, you have time to reach the first step." Ask Jian. She was very surprised when Li Kuo started crying.

"Due .... I hate being weak. My brother died because of this. The demonic creature that called itself King Zero tortured me with this fact for years, whenever I could hear his voice, he would tell me how weak I was. You know, I have a lot of willpower. I am mentally strong .... But I have one weakness and that is my fear of helplessness. " Acknowledged Li Kuo, his eyes lost color.

Jian looked at him and shook his head. He then took the pill from his inventory and placed it in Li Kuo's hands. The two did not realize that Zhao Shu was listening from behind the wall, an angry expression on her face.

"What's this?" Ask Li Kuo.

"That's the Qi Core 2nd Step Body Tempering Pills. They will help you get better and they will have to last for a long time, at least I hope so. If you come with me to the Thousand Flowers Forest we can hunt weak Beasts or even search for rare flowers. With this we can get some ingredients for sale, and you can buy medicine to help your body. This unique technique may be a bit dangerous, but I'm sure it will help you become stronger. And that's all that matters! " Said Jian with confidence.

"Why? Why is that all that matters?" Li Kuo asked, a little confused despite the smile appearing on his face.

"Why?" Jian repeated the word, and suddenly gripped Li Kuo's arm.

"Because now we are True Cultivators!"
