Chapter 29 - Secrets Don’t Matter

Since Bao Hui's negotiation took place early in the morning, Aotian was just leaving his room as it ended.

In the air, the aroma of spiritual rice spread throughout the house, guiding his steps toward the kitchen.

Wealthier cultivators, like Rihai, usually didn't eat spiritual rice, p...

Chapter 28 - Shopping

Guard Xu stood at the gate, still brooding over the damned man who had tricked him with a spirit stone, when suddenly, a silent figure in a black cloak appeared before him.

He simply extended his hand, indifferent. Hooded cultivators were almost the norm.

They called him a guard, but ...

Chapter 27 - Robbing the Robbers

For a mortal, 40 kilometers was an exhausting journey. For cultivators, it was just a short run.

Tian Zhu had found a few flying swords, and using them for flight wouldn't be difficult—they would arrive even faster. Manipulating energy to make them levitate was simple. The problem was a m...

Chapter 26 - Fishing for People

Aotian returned to his room after bidding farewell to Rihai. His "snake" was still standing uncomfortably between his legs.

He threw himself onto the bed, hoping the discomfort would subside on its own. However, a growing pain began to emerge in his lower region.

"Damn it! Blue balls!...

Chapter 25 - I Want to Get to Know You Better!

Back at the city gate, Guard Xu was still seething with anger as he remembered being deceived. A spirit stone might have been just a small amount, but what really irked him was being taken for a fool.

Then, suddenly, his eyes caught a familiar silhouette. That damn man! Without hesitation, ...

Chapter 24 - Bao Hui Strikes!

"Ten low-grade spirit stones to enter." The guard announced in a dull tone as he noticed someone approaching. However, when he lifted his gaze, a shiver of recognition ran down his spine.

Before him stood a man with a sly smile watching him intently. His heart pounded as he recalled a cunni...

Chapter 23 - Rice! And the Avatars Return!

It was the next day, and the two were preparing breakfast.

'Damn it! Rice for breakfast? This is so weird! At the inn, I had to specifically ask them not to bring any,' Aotian observed Rihai preparing the rice with an uncomfortable expression.

"Why that strange look?" Rihai asked, not...

Chapter 22 - Take Responsibility!

While massaging his neck, still marked by Rihai's fingers, Aotian looked up.

Suddenly, a blue runic rectangle appeared on the building, right in the direction they were ascending. The platform they stood on moved quickly, then gradually slowed down until it stopped, aligning perfectly with ...

Chapter 21 - Lingxi World

As he walked, Aotian noticed that some people in the crowd had quite distinctive features, such as red, green, blue hair, among other unusual colors.

"What's up with this hair dye trend?" Aotian asked, amused.

He knew it probably wasn't dye, but he couldn't help teasing, especially si...

Chapter 20 - Spiritual Veins and Interests

As Aotian walked with Rihai, he realized just how immense the city was.

Crowds of people moved back and forth, shattering the image he had of cultivators being reclusive, hidden away in cave mansions, only emerging on rare occasions.

'Caves? Are you sure this isn't a modern city?' Aot...

Chapter 19 - Blue Cloud City

Aotian, still being carried by Liu Rihai, couldn't help but look back toward Red Tiger City.

Smoke and flames flickered in the distance, painting the sky in shades of red and gray.

'A protagonist can never live in one place peacefully for too long… Otherwise, disaster will always ca...

Chapter 18 - Is the Hunt Over?

While Long Aotian and Liu Rihai flirted, the expedition advanced deeper and deeper into the forest. The trail of blood left behind grew longer, yet strangely, few beasts were still in sight.

Seeing this, Liu Rihai furrowed her brows.

Aotian noticed her frown and grew concerned.

...

Chapter 17 - The Hunt Begins!

Two weeks had passed quickly since the Immortal Banquet, and while Aotian awaited the start of the hunt, he never stopped training—or thinking about Liu Rihai.

'Just a little longer... Two or three more days should be enough for me to reach the mid-level of Blood Refinement.' He reflected...

Chapter 16 - Love or Illusion?

The night passed, and Aotian and Rihai had more fun talking than they had expected.

Plans had also been made by the cultivators, and they declared that the hunt for the Red Tiger would take place in two weeks—enough time to gather more warriors.

As the banquet came to an end, the gu...

Chapter 15 - The “Immortals” Arrive

"So, young master Long…" Liu Rihai began to say, but she was interrupted by Aotian's sudden choking on his wine.

"Cough, cough! Ahem!" Long Aotian looked at Rihai in shock. "Please, don't call me young master, it gives me the creeps." He pleaded, shuddering slightly.

Amused, Rihai d...

Chapter 14 - The Beautiful Girl!

While waiting for the cultivators to arrive, Aotian continued his training journey in silence.

Thus, a week passed. During this time, he closely observed the happenings in the city but still heard no news about the cultivators' arrival.

His exercises were progressing well, but Aotian ...

Chapter 13 - If You Don’t Go to Them, Trouble Comes to You

In the next three days, Aotian continued to train tirelessly. Although this time wasn't enough to achieve significant progress, his strength grew gradually each day. He knew that sooner or later, quantitative changes would lead to qualitative changes.

'I estimate that I'll need another half...

Chapter 12 - Blood Refinement

In a dimly lit tavern, the smell of spilled alcohol and old wood permeated the air. Rough men surrounded a table, glasses in hand, while a man with a sinister gaze sat at the center, telling stories and gossip.

"... Ah! So, you want to know about the Three Devourers? Well, I know a bit... a...

Chapter 11 - Gratitude to the Thief

Aotian hurried back to the inn, trying to conceal the bulky bag of coins under his robes.

'Damn! If I'd known I'd return with this much money, I would've bought a cloak,' He cursed himself for his lack of caution.

'At least, no matter how full the bag is, no one would suspect it's ful...

Chapter 10 - Nouveau Riche

"I don't think it was supposed to look like this…" Aotian looked doubtfully at the black ink blot on the paper.

"Was it too much ink? Or did I press too hard? Is it normal to smudge this much?" He questioned himself, frowning as he stared at the shapeless blotch that was supposed to be a ...

Chapter 9 - Bankrupt

'The future is crap!' Aotian stared desolately at the small change of clothes in his hands. His only belongings.

Six days had passed since he began training with his compiled martial arts manual. The progress had been quick, thanks to being the creator of the manual and his vast experience ...

Chapter 8 - The Future is Beautiful

In total, from all the books stolen in the city, the collection comprised:

3 innate-level manuals, plus 1 damaged.

15 bone refinement manuals, with some damaged.

70 blood refinement manuals, along with several damaged ones.

Over 200 skin refinement manuals. The damaged one...

Chapter 7 - The Great Heist

"What do you want?" the skinny woman asked Elder Bao harshly, her disdainful eyes sweeping over the tattered burlap robes he wore. All the politeness and ear-to-ear smile she had shown to the wealthy customer who had just left had vanished in the blink of an eye.

Elder Bao stared at her wit...

Chapter 6 - My Name

While the old man and the young man continued chatting about various things, the line gradually shortened until it was their turn.

"Name and purpose," one of the guards at the gate asked indifferently. He wore worn-out red armor, clearly past its prime.

"The old man's name is Huang Bo...

Chapter 5 - Martial Arts

"Sir, may I ask about that forest over there?" The young man pointed to a distant forest from which he had recently emerged.

"Oh? The Red Tiger Forest?" The old man raised his eyebrows. "Boy, don't go near that place. It's too dangerous. Although the outskirts are peaceful, sometimes a beas...

Chapter 4 - Red Tiger City

Amid the ancient trees, a young man with long hair and hemp clothing walked cautiously. The leaves rustled softly above his head, and the damp smell of moss filled the air. He had chosen a random direction, with no landmarks other than the towering trees around him.

He tried climbing one to...

Chapter 3 - Avatars!

The young man was shocked and immediately tried to manipulate his new bodies.

He attempted to move and realized, surprisingly, the avatars responded with ease. He then began to explore the environment around him through his new bodies.

"EHHH!!" Shouts of surprise echoed as the avatars...

Chapter 2 - Summoning the sect

'System, I have a system!' The young man began to jump with joy but froze mid-leap.

'Systems with mandatory missions... systems that threaten the host... systems that put hosts in tough situations... useless systems...' Thousands of terrible systems paraded through the young man's mind in a...

Chapter 1 - Reviewing the Steps

"Well, let's review my steps... where did my routine go so wrong?"

A young man with a handsome face but dressed in old, ragged burlap clothes, dirty and worn, looked thoughtfully at the horizon.

Before him, majestic mountains stretched up to the clouds. Tall grass danced with the wind...
