Feng Chen's jaw practically dropped as the treasures appeared before him. He couldn't believe the sheer quantity of wealth and power that had been bestowed upon him. It was as if the heavens themselves had emptied their vaults into his cave.
Cultivation pills, jade tokens, spirit armors, glowing beast cores, and divine scrolls surrounded him, each item brimming with spiritual energy. He could practically hear the roar of power within the cave walls.
He picked up a bottle of the High-Grade Cultivation Pills and held it up to the light, watching the soft glow of the pills inside.
"These alone could make me a legend in the cultivation world," he murmured, shaking the bottle slightly.
"With these, I'll have no problem breaking through to higher realms. I could probably skyrocket my way through the Foundation Realm and beyond without breaking a sweat."
Placing the bottle down, he moved to the Mystical Arrays. Each array was stored in a perfectly smooth jade token, inscribed with intricate runes that shimmered with spiritual energy. He picked up one of the tokens, feeling the hum of power beneath his fingers.
"These arrays are priceless… protection, Qi enhancement, and attack arrays all at my disposal. I could fortify this cave into an impenetrable fortress, boost my cultivation speed, or just obliterate anyone foolish enough to come looking for trouble."
He ran his thumb over the surface of the jade token, feeling the energy pulse in response to his touch.
"This could turn me into an unstoppable force."
Next, he turned his attention to the Spirit Armors. Each armor piece glowed with spiritual light, their surfaces adorned with beautiful engravings that flickered with Qi. The craftsmanship was beyond anything he had ever seen before. He picked up one of the chest plates, feeling the weight of it in his hands.
"This armor…" he muttered, admiring the intricate designs etched into the metal.
"With this, even the strongest of enemies would have trouble getting through my defenses." He set the chest plate down and smirked.
"I could probably sell one of these and buy an entire sect, but why bother? I'll just keep them for myself."
He moved on to the Divine Cultivation Techniques, which radiated a potent aura even while sealed within their scrolls. The air around them shimmered with ancient power, and Feng Chen felt a sense of awe as he reached out to touch one of them.
He could feel the immense knowledge contained within, almost as if the scroll was alive with the wisdom of countless immortals.
"These techniques…" he whispered, his fingers hovering over the scroll.
"With these, I'll gain mastery over the elements, the power to bend time and space… maybe even unlock the secrets of immortality." He grinned, rolling the scroll back up.
"These will change the course of my cultivation forever."
Then, his gaze shifted to the Heavenly Rejuvenation Elixir. The small bottle glowed softly with a golden light, and the liquid inside swirled as if it were alive. Feng Chen uncorked the bottle and inhaled its fragrance, instantly feeling a wave of vitality wash over him. It was like breathing in pure life energy.
"This elixir…" he murmured, his voice filled with awe.
"It can heal any wound, restore my Qi, and even extend my lifespan… I'll save this for a rainy day. But when I use it, I'll be unstoppable."
Carefully, he corked the bottle and tucked it away in his inventory. Next, his attention shifted to the Weapon Enhancement Stones. The dark stones gleamed ominously, pulsing with spiritual energy. He could feel their eagerness to be used, their power waiting to be unleashed.
"These stones will push the Abyssal Devourer Blade to the next level," Feng Chen said with a grin.
"I'll make it so powerful, no one will be able to stand against me."
Finally, Feng Chen turned his attention to the 100 Beast Cores. The glowing cores pulsed with raw spiritual energy, each one a treasure trove of power. He picked one up, feeling the weight of it in his hand.
"With these, I could craft powerful pills, enhance my arrays, or even absorb the energy directly to refine my Qi." He grinned, placing the core back down.
"This is more than any sect could ever dream of having."
Feng Chen stood back, surveying the mountain of treasures before him. His eyes glimmered with excitement and greed, the possibilities of what he could accomplish with this wealth running through his mind.
He had gone from an exiled outcast to one of the richest and most powerful cultivators in the world. The System may have been metaphorically crying in its digital space, but Feng Chen couldn't have been happier.

Feng Chen scanned the status window, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction as he saw his progress laid out clearly before him. From a Trash outcast to a Foundation Realm cultivator with perfected Yin and Yang harmonization, his growth was nothing short of miraculous. His Qi capacity had skyrocketed, and his body had been tempered to an extraordinary level.
"Extreme strength, endurance, and refined spiritual awareness," he said with a grin.
"It feels like I'm no longer the same person I was back then. Now… I'm practically unstoppable."
He let his gaze linger on the Yin and Yang's Divine Ascension technique in his status. The technique had been instrumental in his breakthrough, granting him control over the forces of life and death.
This unique power had extended his lifespan to an astonishing 1,600 years, an almost absurd number for a mere Foundation Realm cultivator.
"1,600 years of life," Feng Chen whispered to himself, his voice filled with disbelief and awe.
"I have time. I have power. I have everything I could ever need."
Feng Chen sighed, his excitement bubbling over as he turned back to his inventory. He had mountains of resources at his disposal... high-grade cultivation pills, beast cores, arrays, elixirs, and armors that could rival anything found in the greatest sects. He felt like a one-man army, ready to take on the world.

System Notification:-
... Please proceed with caution, Host. Greed can lead to ruin...

Feng Chen laughed heartily, waving off the System's warning.
"Ruin? Ha! With everything I have, I'd have to try to ruin myself. Besides, this is just the beginning, System. You're stuck with me for the long haul... get used to it!"
He stretched, feeling the power coursing through his body. His path forward was clear. He would continue cultivating, mastering the powers of Yin and Yang while ascending through the realms.
But more than that, he knew there was a world out there that needed to see what he had become. His father had cast him out, but Feng Chen would rise higher than the Feng Clan ever could. And when he returned, he wouldn't just reclaim his position... he would rule.
"Watch out, world," he said, eyes gleaming with determination.
"Feng Chen is coming."
The power within him surged as he looked out from the cave, feeling the energy of the world bend to his will. The heavens had shifted, and the once exiled son of the Feng Clan was no longer the weakling everyone mocked. He was stronger, smarter, and armed with abilities that only immortals could dream of. The very thought sent a thrill through his veins.
But as his mind wandered toward the future, Feng Chen couldn't help but imagine the look on his father's face when he returned. The patriarch had discarded him, thrown him away as if he were nothing more than a useless mortal. But now? Now, Feng Chen had the power of a celestial being, with the blessings of Yin and Yang coursing through his veins.
"When I return…" Feng Chen muttered to himself, his lips curling into a sly smile,
"I won't just reclaim my place in the clan. No… I'll take over. And the entire world will know my name."
He could already envision it... his father, kneeling before him, unable to comprehend the transformation that had taken place. His siblings, their smug expressions turning to terror as they realized the brother they once belittled had surpassed them all.
