A young man, Li Tian, who appeared to be 18 years old, was suddenly woken up by a loud ding, confusing him for a moment.
"Ding! The host has received the Absolute Hypnosis System, a unique and ultra-powerful system that allows the host to hypnotize creatures," the system announced.
Li Tian couldn't believe what he was hearing. He realized that he was reincarnated and that he had a chance to start a new life in this strange world.
"What the hell! Did I really reincarnate? How did I even die? Oh, right! It was that goddamn Truck-kun that hit me while I was walking from work," Li Tian remembered with a shudder.
He couldn't help but feel amused at the tragedy of his situation.
"Well, at least I have a new chance. Hey system, don't I get any newbie gifts? I'm a beginner, you know," Li Tian asked the system.
"Ding! The newbie gift is 100 points. The host can use these points to upgrade his Spiritual Root quality or to comprehend various techniques. If the host wants to check his status, just call status," the system replied.
Excitedly, Li Tian called out, "System status!"
And an elaborate interface appeared in front of him.

Li Tian looked at his surroundings only to find himself in a basic room with a table and a bed. His excitement upon realizing he was in a cultivation world was palpable, as the potential for beautiful women was plentiful with his new system.
"System, can you tell me about the world I'm in?" Li Tian asked.
"Ding! The name of this world is the Crimson Lotus World, and it is a Lower Realm. However, the host must figure it out on their own," the system responded, much to Li Tian's disappointment.
Li Tian then asked if he could obtain the memories of the previous host, but the system could not provide them. Disheartened, Li Tian asked his system about the Hypnotize Function and its rules.
"Ding! The rules for the Hypnotize Function are as follows," the system prompted.
Rules and Limitations:
1. The Hypnotize Function only works on conscious creatures who are one realm higher than the host
at most.
2. The function cannot be used on unconscious or sleeping targets.
3. The host's capacity for hypnotizing will increase as they cultivate, but it is initially limited.
4. The Function can remove previously hypnotized creatures from the list of targets.
As Li Tian was lost in thought, a feminine voice echoed outside, followed by a knock on the door.
"Li Tian, open up! You've been neglecting your duties as a servant disciple for over a week," the woman demanded, her voice laced with authority.
Upon hearing the woman's voice, Li Tian's heart skipped a beat. He knew he was in trouble.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Li Tian replied, hastily getting up from the bed and heading to the door.
He swung the door open, only to be taken aback by the sight of a stunning young lady. Her hair flowed gracefully down her back, her bright blue eyes glinting with annoyance, and her full breasts heaving with each breath. Li Tian was momentarily stunned by her beauty.
The woman looked down at Li Tian with a hint of superiority in her eyes, as if unimpressed with what she saw.
"Well, what were you doing all this time? You know how important it is to keep up with your duties," she yelled at him.
Li Tian stuttered, struggling to find the right words as he fumbled for an excuse. But he couldn't get over how beautiful she was. He found himself in awe of her every move.
"I apologize, beautiful lady. I lost track of time," Li Tian stammered, his eyes fixated on her face, captivated by her sharp teeth and smooth, porcelain skin.
Bai Mei burst into Li Tian's room with a sneer on her face, causing him to jump in surprise. She slammed the door shut and turned to him with rage-filled eyes.
"Why were you absent for so long?" she demanded, her beautiful features twisted in anger as she slapped him across the face.
Shock registered on Li Tian's face as he stumbled backward, still reeling from the sudden impact. Her voice dripped with disdain as she continued.
"You think just because you complimented my appearance I'll let you off the hook?" she sneered. "Trash like you shouldn't slack off! You are under my supervision, and your absence made me lose face in front of the other disciples!"
"W-what? Why did you slap me?" Li Tian said, baffled.
Bai Mei's slap still stung on Li Tian's cheek, and he couldn't believe what was happening. Memories of being bullied in his previous life came flooding back, making him feel powerless. But he had an idea.
"System! Can I use the Hypnotize Function on Bai Mei?" he asked hesitantly.
"Ding! Target's cultivation base is at the 3rd layer of Qi Condensation. Attempting to use the Hypnotize Function on the target," the system responded instantly.
"Ding! The Hypnotize Function is taking effect on the target," it confirmed.
Li Tian couldn't believe how easy it was. He immediately wanted to test if it was working. "Tell me your name and age," he demanded.
"My name is Bai Mei, and I'm 21 years old," Bai Mei replied, her voice still laced with superiority.
But Li Tian persisted. "Apologize for hitting me across the face," he commanded.
As if pulled by an invisible chain, Bai Mei complied, displaying a hint of shame in her voice. Li Tian was overjoyed to see that the Hypnotize Function was indeed working.
His curiosity piqued, he decided to command her further. "Kneel before me, Bai Mei," he ordered.
Much to Li Tian's surprise, Bai Mei immediately complied, dropping to her knees in front of him.
"I apologize for hitting you, Li Tian. It won't happen again," she apologized, her voice soft and and filled with remorse.
Li Tian couldn't believe how easy it was to control someone's actions. He felt a newfound sense of power coursing through his veins, and he couldn't help but smirk.
Li Tian laughed maniacally, relishing in the newfound power he had over Bai Mei. As someone who had faced years of bullying and trauma in his past life, the Hypnotize Function was the ultimate cheat that he could use to turn the tables.
He felt a newfound sense of superiority over Bai Mei, but quickly retracted his gaze, realizing that he still had much to learn about the Crimson Lotus World.
"Tell me everything you know about this world, cultivation, and sect," he commanded.
Bai Mei got up, her eyes still on Li Tian as she began, "This world is known as the Crimson Lotus World, consisting of three continents: the Azure Dragon, Central, and Western Continents."
She continued, "There are seven cultivation realms here: Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Spirit Severing, Dao Seeking, and Immortal Ascension."
Li Tian absorbed all the information intently, eager to learn more about the world he had reincarnated into.
"And what about the sect," he inquired, "What can you tell me about the Truthful Sword Sect?"
Bai Mei replied, "The Truthful Sword Sect is a third-rate sect located in the Azure Dragon Continent. I am an outer disciple, while you are a servant disciple under my charge."
