In the World of Cultivation, many powerful cultivators who are fond of cultivation and dominates the weak. In this world, the weak always fear and respect the strong. They even try to get the favor of the stronger one's.
Five years ago, he transmigrated and came into the World of Cultivation from Earth.
His name is Chen Ping'An who has no spiritual root and don't have any cultivation, and he had the cliched system. He can't believe all of that happened to him.
His courtyard is full of heavenly grade items gifted by the system. The chicken he rears are all phoenix, and the fish in the pond is an ancient dragon. The knife in the kitchen is an immortal grade weapon that can split the sky in one swing.
"Has it... already been five years?"
He's thinking about the past few years while drinking a cup of tea sitting on a chair on a peaceful day under the peach blossom tree.
The only difference is that he can't get stronger before he complete one thousand tasks. The tasks are all trivial, and the reward for the tasks are all daily necessities. It's all thanks to the system that he's living a comfortable life...
One moment later, he felt frustrated because he can't stand living like a farmer in the mountains anymore. What's the point of living a comfortable life, if he can't stand the pressure of being a farmer!
"As if! I can't stand living like a farmer in the mountains anymore! What was the point of giving up wifi and air-conditioning to transmigrated here?!"
After a while, he sat down on the chair and calm down while he "sigh". After that the system notification popped out and it give him a new task!
"[Ding- New Task Received]"
After hearing the notification, he's asking "What's the task this time?" He is curious about the task and keep thinking "Am I making a toy for a kid, or did some married couple quarrel again?" Until the system give out the task.
"[Leaning Mountain Sect]"
"Pfft!!!" He spilled his tea on the floor!
"The Leaning Mountain Sect?"
Everyone knows that's the cultivation sect in charge of the nearby commoner town! Cultivating is the only thing he haven't learned in these past five years! How is a commoner like him supposed to get in there?! "Chen Ping pull the system while venting anger!"
Chen Ping question the system on excited look. "Could it be... are you finally going to give me a way to get stronger?"
Zoom
The system give a notice that; "A man should always seek improvement. The time limit is three months. If the task is not completed, you will be killed."
"I knew it..." He responded.
He sigh on disappointment that he has no choice but to finish the system task!
Whatever. In these five years, I've had so many strange tasks from making toys for kids to delivering a child.
Huff!
Do you expect me to let such a small task like joining Leaning Mountain Sect make me lose five years of hard work?
Chen Ping refused to let that happened!
He then started walking up to the mountain to find the Leaning Mountain Sect, but he confused and doesn't even know where it exactly located!
"Ah, that's right."
"Where exactly is the Leaning Mountain Sect?"
He's wondering where it located.
Zoom
And then the system shows up and notified the host!; "A man should always seek improvement..."
Chen Ping spit and shout on the system twice to shut it up while he is frustrated from finding the route.
"Alright, shut up! I wasn't counting on you at all!"
He sat down under the tree while he is lost in the forest and keeps thinking of where could the Leaning Mountain Sect be located.
"I'm lost! If I keep blindly looking around like this, even finding the sect would be a problem, let alone joining it! Cultivation sects usually seclude themselves in the mountains. There's no way to get any information on them as a commoner. How am I supposed to look for any clue? Don't tell me... am I supposed to wait for it to fall from the sky?!" Chen Ping inner thoughts.
"Ah!"
"Swoosh"
Then someone fell from the sky!
"What?" He was shocked! "It's actually happening!" He tried to catch her from falling to the ground but he miss! "I-I'm sorry."
"Thud! Ugh..."
It's a girl? She's quite pretty though. She must be a cultivator since she fell from the sky. The question is, why did she fall?
"Ugh~"
The girl slowly open her eyes and she saw him trying to poke her with a wooden stick. "You..." Chen Ping was stunned. The girl was startled and quickly sit up in a embarrassing look while in tears, causing a big misunderstanding.
Chen Ping panicked and clear the misunderstanding. "Don't misunderstand! I didn't do anything!"
When the girl clearly looks at him. She was shocked and soon realized her own recklessness, she knelt down and beg him to save her!
"Please save me, Senior!"
"What? Senior? Save you?" He was shocked by the sudden changes of formality. Then they're surrounded by a group of cultivator full of malicious aura.
He never thought that she is being pursued by a group of cultivator. They are outnumbered by many of them.
"Miss! They have outnumbered us. You hurry up and run." Chen Ping advice her with a worried look. But she's acting pitiful to save her from danger!
"Senior..." The girl act pitiful in tears begging for help. There's no point in you acting pitifully! "Chen Ping said!"
How could a mere commoner like him defeat so many cultivators?! But he never thought that this cultivators would be kneeling in front of him. And they are apologizing for disturbing him! He was confused and said; "Do all you cultivators just really like kneeling down?"
On the other side of his courtyard, the chicken keeps wondering when his master will be back this time. This is undoubtedly a phoenix, but have been forced to stay on the ground as a chicken. It's so embarrassing.
He saw his master bringing many things with him this time. He even brought the kitchen knife. "Why don't I get such luck?" The chicken said while walking around the courtyard.
The Koi fish in the pond have already turned into a dragon but have been forced to stay living in that hole. There's a peach blossom tree that blooms in spring that's emitting of Heavenly Dao Essence. It can repair the damaged soul and can control the law of heaven.
They're talking about the kitchen knife that shouts out every day that it's hungering for people. They're worrying that it will lose control and would kill someone.
The chicken said that there's no need to worry about it. If the master doesn't want it to cut anyone, it wouldn't dare to do it. "It will only follow the master's order." Brother chicken said on a calm state.
In the back of the mountain. The girl was shocked when she first saw him. She was right that this senior is definitely no ordinary expert.
The cultivators tremble in fear because there's Dao Essence all around his body. Even getting close to him is hard. They thought that their plan to capture Murong Xue was coming along perfectly. They can't believe she met someone as terrifying as him.
"How terrifying! I feel like my soul will be extinguished just looking at him. He basically a... monster!" Cultivators inner thoughts.
Chen Ping give a serious glared and is emitting a strong aura, that make the cultivators tremble in fear begging to let them lived. "Uh..." He didn't even finish saying but they are in a hurry to leave.
"Yes! Please tell us if you have any orders. If you think we're being a nuisance, we'll leave right now!" Cultivators are speaking tearfully.
"That's to dramatic!" Chen Ping thoughts it that way.
"I understand now! They're actually good people!"
"Girl. Yet, they have orders from their superiors. They're just trying to use me as an excuse!" Chen Ping inner thoughts, he highly thinks that they're good people.
"Why don't... you all leave?" Chen Ping asked while making a nice face.
"Thank you, Senior!"
They're thankful for his mercy and all of them hurriedly fled while deep in fear.
The girl slipped and accidentally hug him and got blushes in her cheeks but she was thankful enough for him in saving her.
"My name is Murong Xue. Thank you for saving me, Senior."
"Miss, you should get up. I didn't do anything. You've misunderstood things. I'm just a commoner, not some senior!"
"How would a commoner have a Dao Essence revolving around his body and scare away four golden core stage experts? However, he must have his reasons for saying that." Murong Xue's inner thoughts while she's nervous about her instance.
"That's right, Senior. You're just a commoner." She stands up and would try reading the room.
Chen Ping is startled and feels the cold coming through his spine.
"No, you don't look convinced at all!"
"Ah right! Miss, you said that your name is Murong Xue? Are you the Murong Xue, the Saintess of the Leaning Mountain Sect?" Chen Ping asked while paying respect.
"Senior, do you know me?" Murong Xue asked him with anticipation.
"Perfect! Miss Murong I actually need to go your sect a visit. Shall we go together?" Chen Ping asked Miss Murong join him on his way.
"Our sect?! That's great! Let's do as you said, Senior. Murong Xue who is full of anticipation and is extremely excited.
Chen Ping can't believe he had such a fortunate encounter. Not only will he be able to find the Leaning Mountain Sect. He should be able to experience how cultivators fly too.
"Senior, the sect is over there." Murong Xue pointed out her finger where the sect is located.
"I-Is that so." Chen Ping smile and they soon depart, to reach the Leaning Mountain Sect at noon.
Murong Xue can't believe the sect is involved with someone like him. He might even give her opportunity to experience how immortals move across the sky. She thought the same as Chen Ping.
Looking at each other full of anticipation, thinking they'll get opportunities from their fortunate encounter. After a while... Chen Ping felt discomfort waiting for the outcome. While Murong Xue who is always full of expection for him.
"Miss Murong, I'm a commoner who only knows how to walk, so..." Chen Ping expect her to fly him over with a sword.
I understand! Then I'll walk with you! She misunderstand Chen Ping's intentions, with full of enthusiasm.
Later then, Chen Ping take a break near the river surrounded by rocks and is preparing to cook a pot of soup for his meal.
"Crackle!" The sound of the pot boiling.
While Murong Xue is cultivating in the center of the river full of spiritual energy. The waters are gathering forming a spiral wave of spiritual energy.
"Ugh!"
Because of the dense spiritual energy fluctuating there's a external forced interfering causing disrupt to her cultivation.
"Boom!"
The waters exploded because of dense spiritual energy interfering, waters scattered and splashed all over the place.
She's been trying to understand the Dao through water. But she failed and still haven't able to make a breakthrough.
"I failed again. I've been trying to understand the Dao through water for months, but I still haven't been able to make a breakthrough. What should I do...?" Waters are scattered all over her body and splashing to her clothes.
Chen Ping felt frustrated because he thought he'd be flown into the Leaning Mountain Sect, but he still had to walk there by himself.
"Senior." Murong Xue called out for him to ask advice of her problems. And maybe he could help her give some pointers.
"What is it?" He asked.
"There's something I need your help with." Murong Xue replied while her clothes are drenched in water.
