Cleanse the Sinews and Marrow, Improve Aptitude!

Drunken God Body: The body of the Drunken God. Drinking alcohol makes one stronger.

Drunken God Gourd: A gourd for holding alcohol, capable of storing several hundred cups of wine. It was equivalent to a small spatial ring.

As the system rewards were distributed, Bai Ye instantly obtained the Drunken God Body and the Drunken God Gourd.

A warm current surged through Bai Ye's entire body, leaving him pleasantly warm and immensely comfortable. In an instant, he felt much better all over.

Looking at the Drunken God Gourd he had taken from the system space, Bai Ye was even more delighted.

The Drunken God Body made him stronger through drinking, and combined with this small spatial gourd, it was simply a perfectly matched divine artifact.

Now, Bai Ye could truly lie flat without a care.

Drinking made him stronger!

What a miraculous physique!

Time to slack off, time to slack off...

This world was far too dangerous. Quietly lying flat and lazing around was the only right choice.

Having a system was great!

From now on, Bai Ye could slack off in peace, and his cultivation would definitely not fall behind.

At this moment, Bai Ye was already looking forward to the rewards from future sign-ins.

The system's sign-ins were not limited to locations. He could even sign in with different people, though only once per day.

After a good night's sleep, Bai Ye slept straight through until dawn.

"Junior Brother, Junior Brother!"

Bai Ye was awakened by an urgent voice. His eyes were still hazy with sleep as he looked at the young man before him.

"So it's Uncle Du!"

"Why did you wake me so early?"

Bai Ye looked at Du Dashu before him with some helplessness.

"Junior Brother, you should call me Senior Brother Du."

Du Dashu looked solemnly at Bai Ye. "Did you forget? Today is the day Master teaches us cultivation techniques. If you don't go now, you'll be late."

Hearing this, Bai Ye instantly woke up.

Good heavens!

He could not be late on his first day of work.

Bai Ye hurriedly got up and washed up, then headed with Du Dashu toward Dazhu Peak's cultivation grounds.

At this moment, Tian Buyi, the head of Dazhu Peak, and the five senior brothers had already arrived.

Beside Tian Buyi stood a graceful woman, holding a little girl in her arms. The girl's large eyes watched Bai Ye and the other boy curiously.

"Master!"

Bai Ye and Du Dashu respectfully clasped their hands toward Tian Buyi.

"Hmph!"

"Cultivation requires perseverance. On your very first day of cultivation, you two already dared to be late. With your aptitude, how far do you think you can go?!"

Tian Buyi's expression darkened slightly as he snorted coldly.

"Enough, Buyi. The two children have only just entered the sect. Just teach them well from now on!" the graceful woman said, stepping in to mediate.

This woman was clearly Tian Buyi's Dao companion, Su Ru.

Hearing this, Tian Buyi slightly eased his expression and said directly, "Let this be the last time."

"As disciples of Qingyun Sect, today I will teach you Qingyun Sect's internal cultivation method, the Taiji Xuanqing Dao."

"This is Qingyun Sect's top internal cultivation method. Though your aptitude is average, if you cultivate diligently, even if you cannot become top-tier experts in the future, you can still become the backbone of the sect."

Taiji Xuanqing Dao!

Bai Ye felt a slight thrill in his heart upon hearing it.

This was Qingyun Sect's top internal cultivation method!

Legend had it that Qingyun Sect's patriarch, Qingyunzi, had created it after comprehending the Dao from the Heavenly Book. Among the cultivation methods of the three great righteous sects, it ranked among the very best.

If one could cultivate it to great mastery, one would definitely become one of the world's top experts.

"Our Qingyun Sect's Taiji Xuanqing Dao is a supreme Daoist method that emphasizes gradual progress. Every stage of cultivation and every breakthrough comes with different trials and obstacles."

"At the same time, cultivators must comprehend the Dao of heaven and earth, draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their bodies, temper their bodily spiritual energy and internal meridians, thereby strengthening themselves and prolonging their lives."

Du Dashu was even more delighted upon hearing this. "Master, this disciple will cultivate diligently."

Bai Ye also revealed a joyful expression.

Tian Buyi nodded slightly at their excitement.

It was understandable for them to be excited after first obtaining a cultivation method.

Very soon, Tian Buyi taught Bai Ye and the other boy the first three levels of the Yuqing Realm of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao.

The Taiji Xuanqing Dao had three realms: the Yuqing Realm, the Shangqing Realm, and the Taiqing Realm.

These three realms were further divided into levels one through nine.

Yuqing Realm: The first glimpse of the path, the foundational realm of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao.

Shangqing Realm: Entering the hall, a higher realm of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao. At this realm, one already possessed extremely terrifying power. Most top experts of the righteous and demonic paths belonged to this realm.

Taiqing Realm: Reaching the pinnacle, the legendary supreme realm of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao. Across the entire world, only a handful could attain it.

"Now that I have taught you the Taiji Xuanqing Dao, the two of you must cultivate with perseverance. I expect you to raise your realm and strength as quickly as possible."

"From today onward, the two of you will begin your cultivation by chopping bamboo on Dazhu Peak for three years."

After saying this, Tian Buyi directly left with Su Ru and his daughter.

Then Senior Brother He Daren led the two of them into the bamboo forest and instructed them in cultivation and bamboo chopping.

Senior Brother Song Daren was broad and sturdy, an honest and straightforward man with a good character.

One's first impression was that he was someone worth befriending, and the other senior brothers were the same.

The many disciples of Dazhu Peak were almost all like this: honest and dutiful. Though they lacked the talent of prodigies, they were all good people.

This included Zhang Xiaofan, who would arrive later.

His master had a good eye for people too!

Bai Ye thought to himself.

After He Daren left, Bai Ye and Du Dashu began cultivating and chopping bamboo.

The Black Bamboo of Dazhu Peak was no ordinary bamboo. It was exceptionally tough, and the harder one struck it, the more the force would rebound onto one's own body.

After only a short while, Bai Ye was already struggling to continue.

Cultivating immortality was not easy either!

Bai Ye sighed.

Ding! Sign-in at Dazhu Peak successful. Reward obtained: one Marrow Cleansing Pill.

Marrow Cleansing Pill: Can remove impurities from the user's body, clear the meridians, and greatly increase the speed at which one absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Hearing the system's voice, Bai Ye was stunned for a moment before revealing a delighted expression.

A Marrow Cleansing Pill, capable of removing impurities and clearing the meridians.

Good stuff, absolutely good stuff!

This was exactly what Bai Ye needed right now.

Cultivating immortality placed great importance on one's innate bones and aptitude. Bai Ye's aptitude was not strong, but now that he had the Taiji Xuanqing Dao and this Marrow Cleansing Pill, he could improve his aptitude to the greatest extent possible.

When the time came, his cultivation speed would definitely increase considerably.

Taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill from the system space, Bai Ye did not hesitate and directly swallowed it.

In an instant.

Bai Ye felt a warm current sweep through his eight extraordinary meridians and spread into every part of his body.

He could feel the impurities in his meridians, bones, flesh, blood, and internal organs being cleansed by this energy. His entire body began to feel lighter.

Half an hour later.

Bai Ye slowly opened his eyes and immediately felt an uncomfortable sensation all over his body, accompanied by a foul stench.

These must be the impurities in my body!

Bai Ye thought to himself.

He then returned directly to his room, washed himself thoroughly, and changed into a fresh set of clothes. At once, he felt refreshed and invigorated, and his body seemed much stronger.
