A young man with long dangling hair with a beautiful jet black color emerged from the bushes. He looked at something that reflected sunlight, "Hmm, he said treasure, but this is just a worthless lump of gold. But since I've found it, of course, I must take it," said the young man who was none other than Lin Chen inserting a gold nugget in-ring storage.
After retrieving all the loot the bandits had obtained, Lin Chen resumed his journey. The deeper he went into the forest, the denser the Qi he felt. The surrounding plants are also getting more and more fertile. Even the sunlight can barely penetrate the thick leaves.
On the way, he also found several beasts with fairly high cultivation, but he felt lazy to kill them because the system was still asleep.
After some time walking through the interior of the forest on his horse until he arrived at a place with abundant Qi energy, "It's not that people say there is a lake. But the most abundant Qi energy in the forest is here," said Lin Chen looking at the cave in front of him.
"Don't tell me the lake is in a cave? Like the Immortal's residence in the Snake Forest," he continued.
Lin Chen entered the cave. It was quite dark in the cave with no light at all.
"Destroyer Sword Technique, First Move. Sword Qi," said Lin Chen.
In front of Lin Chen appeared a normal-sized sword with golden light shining within the cave.
"It turns out that my technique can be used for lighting," said Lin Chen, nodding in satisfaction.
You can see various kinds of herbal plants, one of which is Mulberry Grass which only grows in dark places with abundant Qi. Mulberry grass can be an antidote for snakes, scorpions, and other venomous animals. The method is straightforward. Just stick the Mulberry Grass on the bite mark.
"All the plants here are very rare. All of these resources can be used for the advancement of my Lin Family," said Lin Chen looking at the various herbs.
Focused Lin Chen's gaze on one side of the cave as he subconsciously saw a purple stone filled with Qi energy, "Woah. Is this the famous spirit stone? The currency used in the Immortal Realm?" he said with sparkling eyes.
Lin Chen kept picking up various resources he found, no matter how long he had been in the cave and how many times he had stopped when he saw rare items.
After several hours of Lin Chen walking through the cave depths, he could see a small white light in the distance.
He also spurred his horse quickly towards the light he saw. How surprised Lin Chen was when he saw the place at the end of the light. He rubbed his eyes several times in disbelief at what he saw, "This… How is this possible" said Lin Chen in surprise.
One could see an astonishing sight in front of Lin Chen. How not? Several islands fly above the clouds, trees whose size is beyond reason, and waterfalls fall from the height of the clouds. There was even a river flowing in the sky.
"How could there be another world in the cave? When I was at the peak of cultivation, I could create a space like this... Oh, is that the lake the Moon Goddess used to bathe in?" said Lin Chen, who saw the lake with 9 colors of water.
Lin Chen got off his horse and flew towards the 9-colored lake, "The Qi energy around the lake is very dense, compared to the Immortal residence in the Snake Forest. This place is hundreds of times better. It looks like this time I can break through to the Peak Half God Realm," said Lin Chen, looking around.
Lin Chen quickly took his place under a tree by the lake. He closed his eyes and cultivated with the Star Sucking Technique.
A small black hole in front of Lin Chen's chest sucked in the Qi energy around the lake. You could faintly see golden yellow energy forming a stream towards Lin Chen's chest.
The longer Lin Chen cultivated, the stronger the suction power of the black hole became. Without even realizing it, his technique increased to level 2.
He cultivated for a few days until his system unknowingly completed the upgrade process to Version 100.0
[Ding~ System has completed the upgrade process]
[Adding Job Items in the Shop]
[Unlocks higher Techniques]
[Added a new Item…]
[Add…]
A soft voice sounded in his mind, but Lin Chen decided to cultivate for a few more days.
One week later…
BANG!
There was a muffled explosive sound within Lin Chen's dantian, signaling the increasing size of his Qi energy reservoir.
He slowly opened his eyes with a beautiful smile on his handsome face. You could feel the overflow of energy within Lin Chen's body getting denser, and the aura he was giving off was even greater than before, "Hahaha. Half God Peak," said Lin Chen spreading his arms.
"If the news about this place is known to the public. A huge uproar could occur on the East Continent… No. Even the five Continents will battle for a monopoly on this place," continued Lin Chen.
Lin Chen tried to get up but felt something holding his leg. How surprised he was when he saw a little blue-haired girl about 6 years old sleeping on his lap.
"Th-This… W-Who is this little girl?" Lin Chen stammered.
Suddenly the little girl in Lin Chen's lap woke up and looked up at Lin Chen's face, "Master," he said quietly.
Lin Chen, who heard that was shocked and thought for a moment, "Master? Oh right, it looks like when I was cultivating Xue Ying had finished the upgrade process. Was this boy Xue Ying after evolving? But can the System change into a human form?" muttered Lin Chen observing the little girl on his lap.
"Because Master called Yi'er a 'boy' Point System Master was cut by 10 million!" said the little girl, annoyed with puffy cheeks.
Lin Chen's lips twitched as the little girl in front of him said about the reduction of Points. What surprised him even more, was the hologram screen suddenly appearing in front of him, showing his Point System reduced.
"Are you Xue Ying? Why did you turn into a little girl?" asked Lin Chen in astonishment.
"Since Yi'er has advanced to version 100.0, Yi'er has a physical body. Even though this body is small, its strength is equivalent to that of a Half Saint," he replied proudly, patting his chest lightly.
Lin Chen was surprised with his eyes wide open at Xue Ying's statement. He calmed himself down and looked back at Xue Ying, "Can you transform into a teenage girl?" asked Lin Chen.
"When Yi'er advances to Version 200.0, then Yi'er can change form, and Yi'er's strength also increases drastically," he replied.
"Then how long will it take? And can you go back into my body?" Lin Chen asked again.
"It will take 12 months, but Yi'er must get used to this body first before upgrading. Of course you can enter Master's body again, but Yi'er is too lazy," Yi'er said, sticking out her tongue.
He was seeing his system behavior made Lin Chen a little annoyed. How could he not? The system he had been waiting for became very, very annoying after completing the upgrade.
