"Host has completed the second main quest. The reward will now be released."
Hearing this, I waited for the reward to appear on the screen in front of me.
There was an icon that seemed to show a gift box that appeared, but I couldn't help being confused by what this gift box was.
The name for this item seemed to be "Basic Cultivation Package", but I didn't know what this meant.
So I asked the system, "What is this reward?"
The system replied, "This is a basic package to help the host embark on the world of cultivation. It will give the host a certain level of cultivation just from opening it."
It took me a moment to put it together, but I quickly realized what the system meant.
"So you're saying that as long as I open this, I will gain the ability to cultivate and reach a certain level of cultivation right away?"
"Correct." The system said in a simple and precise manner.
Once I received the confirmation from the system, I didn't hesitate to tap on the "Basic Cultivation Package" to open it.
Once it opened, I could feel something happening to my body.
It was like there was something that was suddenly flowing into my body, this was a kind of current that I couldn't resist at all as it seemed to fill my chest…No, it wasn't the chest, but rather a little bit under the chest.
It was like the center of my body.
This had to be where the dantian was.
I knew that the system wouldn't do anything to hurt me, so I just relaxed and allowed that flow to fill me.
But what I didn't know was…this created a large phenomenon outside.
It wasn't as strong in the beginning. In fact, it was just a small trickling of spiritual energy swirling around the courtyard at first.
But it didn't take long before there was a maelstrom of spiritual energy swirling around this one courtyard.
The lackeys and Lin Li Zi who had been cleaning were all shocked by this, but before they could go check on Lin Fan…
"Get out right now!"
Elder Tian had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and lifted them up with his spiritual energy. He didn't give them a chance to resist as he pulled them out.
Once they were out Lin Li Zi grabbed his sleeve and said, "My big brother is still in there!"
With a bitter smile, Elder Tian said, "Your big brother is the one causing this in the first place."
Lin Li Zi didn't say anything else as she turned to run in, but Elder Tian was faster than her as he used his spiritual energy to suddenly catch her and prevent her from running in like she wanted to.
When she felt this, Lin Li Zi immediately turned to glare at Elder Tian.
Elder Tian just shook his head with a bitter smile before saying, "If you go in now, you'll be hurting him instead of helping him."
Lin Li Zi looked at Elder Tian with a confused look, so Elder Tian explained, "He's in a sensitive state right now as he's breaking through, so it'll be bad for him if anything disturbs him. All we can do now is wait for him to break through."
Lin Li Zi still had a worried look on her face, but she didn't know as much as Elder Tian about this matter.
Elder Tian was most likely right, so she didn't say anything in response.
But she was still worried about Lin Fan who was inside the room, so she could only look on with a worried look on her face.
Elder Tian had a strange look as he looked in the direction that this spiritual energy siphon came from.
Lin Fan was someone who didn't have any cultivation at all, he knew this since he had already checked Lin Fan earlier. He knew that Lin Fan was a mortal who hadn't even reached the First Qi Gathering Realm yet.
So a breakthrough into the Qi Gathering Realm shouldn't have created this kind of phenomenon.
This was a reaction that was on par with someone breaking through to the Golden Core Realm. This was a reaction that was on par with someone that had to face tribulation after breaking through.
But Elder Tian soon realized that he had looked down on Lin Fan too much.
The spiritual energy siphon became even stronger until he had no choice but to say, "Everyone out of the courtyard right now!"
Lin Li Zi and the lackeys were shocked to hear this, but they couldn't even ask what was wrong before Elder Tian lifted them up with his spiritual energy and carried them out of the courtyard.
Once they were out, Lin Li Zi asked, "What's wrong? What's happening?"
Elder Tian knitted his brows as he didn't answer this.
And before he could even answer, there was something that started forming in the air.
There were black clouds that were gathering and even thunder that seemed to form.
Thunder tribulation!
How was this possible?
Thunder tribulation was something that was only supposed to happen when one broke through to the Golden Core Realm, it wasn't something that should have happened when someone with no cultivation at all broke through to the Qi Gathering Realm.
Elder Tian was very conflicted at this moment as he didn't know what to do.
There was a part of him that wanted to go and help Lin Fan pass this thunder tribulation, or at least protect him so that he wouldn't die from it. But there was also a part of him that wanted to keep observing.
He didn't know what was happening, but he knew that it wouldn't be normal.
Nothing that involved Lin Fan was normal.
However, the clouds had finished gathering and there was lightning gathered that was about to fall down.
At this point, it seemed like he had no choice but to act.
But just before he could act, there was a golden glow that came from the main building.
