Eastern Territory.
Xuanyang Sect, Outer Sect.
Inside a thatched cottage, A young man with a tall figure and handsome face sits by the window, the young man is holding a mirror made from bronze in one of his hands, while his other hand are touching his face, his eyes are laser focused on the place in which his other hand touched his skin, carefully examining his own appearance
After a moment, A light sigh escapes his lips.
"Sigh."
Li Xun slowly puts down the bronze mirror into the table beside him while wearing a helpless expression on his face.
If his deduction of his situation is correct, right now, he is transmigrated into another world.
Just a moment ago, his original memories and the memory of the person who owned this body has just finished fused together inside his mind.
From the various memories that he got from the original owner of this body, he learned that he is currently in a vast sect called the Xuanyang Sect, and his current identity is that of an outer sect disciple of the Xuanyang Sect.
"A sect huh? And looking at my clothings and these new memories i got, this world is most likely a Xianxia world."
Li Xun murmurs to himself.
The world of cultivation, the Xianxia, is well-known for being extremely dangerous especially toward those who have no tangible power in hand.
The high end combatant from a cultivation world can move mountains with a wave of their hand and part the seas with a chop, at the very top of their power level, they can even pluck the stars from the sky and grasped the moon with their hand, while the strong would thrive in these dog eat dog world, the weak would suffer and struggle just to survive every single day,in this world, their lives as insignificant as weeds. A single aftermath of a battle from a middle tier cultivator could claim the lives of countless ordinary people like it's nothing.
"Luckily, this body of mine is not one that has no talent in cultivation, so my start in this cruel world is already more ideal than many."
"What's more fortunate is..."
"The original owner of this body shares the same name as me, so at least I don't have to change my name."
Li Xun feels a slight sense of relief at that.
This, one could say, is a form of fate as well.
From the memories in his mind, he knows that the original owner had decent cultivation aptitude, or perhaps one could say that it's relatively good compared to his peer, after all, after joining Xuanyang Sect just two years ago, he has already cultivated to the tenth level of the Body Tempering Realm.
He is just one step away from entering the Qi Refining Realm.
With this aptitude, not to mention even among the disciple of on the Xuanyang Sect, even in some other sacred grounds, he would still be able to be considered as a genius, albeit a small one.
Compared to some other transmigrators who start off as a person with no talent in cultivation, Li Xun considers himself relatively lucky. At the very least, he doesn't have to worry about not passing the Inner Sect assessment after three years have gone by.
He also doesn't have to worry about being sent down the mountain. (Tn: In most Xianxia, Sect are located in mountains, each Sect has their own mountain, while the elder or important people of the sect have their own peak.)
As an outer sect disciple of Xuanyang Sect, if one fails to break through to the Qi Refining Realm within five years after joining the sect, they will be sent down the mountain to assist with secular affairs. (Tn: Basically, anyone who fail to advance to the next level in 5 years would be sent to do IRL work like making money from the sect)
Although he hasn't been expelled from the sect, it's still a close call.
After all, once one leaves the sect, it's almost impossible to come back.
There are still three years left until the five-year deadline, and Li Xun estimates that even if he doesn't have some talent in cultivation, the possibility of him not breaking through into the Qi Refining Realm is quite small.
Also, not to mention, he still has a pill that he can use in his possession!
Li Xun places the bronze mirror on the table and reaches for a White jade box beside it. He gently opens the lid, and a medicine aroma fills the air of his room.
Spirit Origin Pill
That's the name of the pill.
The Spirit Origin Pill main purpose is to aid a Tenth Level Body Tempering Cultivator in breaking through to the Qi Refining Realm. When consumed by an average person, it increases the chance of a breakthrough by three levels.
For someone like Li Xun who has a relatively high cultivation talent, eating this Pill would increase the chance of him successfully breaking through the Qi Refining realm by at least fifty to seventy percent, and combined with his innate talent, the chance of him falling to making a breakthrough is zero.
"Oh man, a good cultivation talent, combined with a decent background? I'm truly a lucky one aren't I?"
This Spirit Origin Pill was something that this original body family has sent,by his family behind him, wanting him to break through to the Qi Refining Realm at a faster speed and enter the Inner Sect.
After all, the faster one cultivates, the earlier they become an Inner Sect disciple, and the faster someone enters the Inner Sect representing how high their cultivation aptitude is and how vast their potential are. Once they enter
If they are able to quickly enter the Inner Sect, there is a chance they would be able to catch the attention of a Sect Elder, and after they catch the Elder eye, there is no need for them to worry about the lack of cultivation resources.
And should he have some sort of influence within the sect, his family who had always been supporting him would also greatly benefit from it, it's a Win-Win situation no matter how you look at it.
Of course, the prerequisite for this Win-Win situation is for him to have some considerable talent in cultivation, something that thankfully, he has in spade.
"After I familiarize myself with the cultivation process, I should be able to make a breakthrough in a few days."
And just as this thought crosses his mind.
Ding!
A crisp mechanical sound, something that early similar to how the google translate voice mode sound from his previous life, resonates in his mind.
[The Ultimate Investment System is being bound...]
[Binding of The Ultimate Investment System is successful!]
[Welcome, Host, now you are able to use the system.]
"Hmm?"
Hearing the voice in his mind, Li Xun's pupils shrink, and he abruptly stands up, an incredulous expression on his face.
After a while, he calms his emotions and murmurs, "Wait, Besides my excellent cultivation talent and good background, I also got a system?"
According to his experience from his previous life, usually, when one transmigrates into a world of cultivation and becomes a useless person, they would awaken a system in the early stages to help them not offed by a much stronger local people. But now, it seems that he didn't transmigrate as a talentless person, right?
How did he still have a system?
This is not following the usual cliche!
However... he quite likes this situation.
Let's be honest, how many transmigrators wouldn't want to have their own system should they be transmigrated into a world of cultivation?
"System, can you please tell me what you can do?"
After a momentary time of shock. Li Xun quickly regained back his bearing and calmness, the transmigrated man slowly sat back in his chair, and asked the system that question in his mind.
[Respected Host, the only function of this system is investment. Each person you invest in will bring you corresponding rewards.]
[The investment levels are divided into five ranks: White, Blue, Purple, Gold, and Red. The rewards that the Host may receive vary based on the intensity of the color.]
[PS: When there is a person available for investment, the system will immediately notify the Host.]
[PS: The rewards that the Host can obtain are not limited to the system's returns. There may be unexpected surprises as well.]
"Investment?"
Hearing the system answer, Li Xun pauses for a moment.
This concept is somewhat novel to him.
The system mentioned that besides the reward that can be claimed from investing to other people, he would also get an unexpected surprise, which leaves him curious about what these surprises might be.
But since he hasn't made any investments yet, he can't figure out the specifics.
"It seems that I need to find someone to experiment with first."
Li Xun thinks to himself.
"Oh, right, system..."
Li Xun seems to have thought of something and is about to ask when his words are cut off by a sound coming from the outside.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
A series of knocks sound from outside the door.
"Is Senior Brother Li Xun here? It's me, Lu Changhe."
