I Am Very Angry Right Now

Yang Genshuo had long discovered that the ability to view other people's Character Cards was a top-tier utility, one that could help Yang Shi seek good fortune and avoid disaster.

As long as someone was within 100 meters of Yang Shi, he could flip through their Character Card and see their basic information at a glance.

During this time, whenever Yang Genshuo had nothing to do, he would flip through the Character Cards of passersby.

He wanted to see if there were any cultivators in Qingshi County at all.

After a year, he finally found one!

[Name: Jiang Xiaobai]

[Gender: Female]

[Identity: Beggar]

[Lifespan: 14/100]

[Realm: None]

[Spiritual Roots: Five Spiritual Roots (Metal: 17, Wood: 23, Water: 20, Fire: 20, Earth: 20)]

[Comprehension: 20]

[Luck: 20]

[Talent: Wood Affinity (Earth Grade)]

[Skills: None]

[Wood Affinity (Earth Grade): Wood Cultivation Method training speed +10%, Wood Spell power +10%]

"She came from outside; this is my first time seeing her."

Yang Genshuo might not be able to distinguish the faces of these filthy beggars, but such a stunning Character Card could never escape his observation.

"Having Spiritual Roots proves she can cultivate. She currently has no Realm and no Skills, so she likely hasn't stepped into the Cultivation World yet. She's a blank slate. I've struck gold this time."

Yang Shi did not have Spiritual Roots and might never become a cultivator in his lifetime, which was a hidden danger for the Yang Family.

No matter what he achieved—even if he practiced martial arts to the extreme and reached the level of an Innate Grandmaster—he would still be inferior to the lowest-level cultivator.

"All paths are inferior; only the Immortal Path is supreme."

Standing from a god's-eye view, Yang Genshuo could feel this even more deeply. Therefore, he had to lead the Yang Family onto the path of cultivation step by step. Even if Yang Shi couldn't cultivate in this life, he had to ensure the future generations of the Yang Family could.

After a year of observing Qingshi County and hearing rumors from the Treasure Pavilion, Yang Genshuo had deduced some information himself.

"Out of the 70,000 to 80,000 people visible on the surface of Qingshi County, not a single one has Spiritual Roots. Statistically speaking, this is already a large enough number to represent a phenomenon. It proves that the birth of Spiritual Roots is not random. If the conditions aren't met, it's possible that a child with Spiritual Roots will never be born."

Yang Shi turned around with his hands behind his back, leaving Jiang Xiaobai with an inscrutable silhouette as the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He had never lived with anyone else before.

"Master Yang, what would you like to eat tonight? Do you require a bath? This servant will go and prepare in advance."

"Hmm, go and rest today; we shall discuss it tomorrow." Yang Shi paused, then added, "There is no need to use the word 'servant.' Just refer to yourself as Xiaobai. I kept you because you and I are fated to meet. You don't need to call me Master, either. Just call me..."

"Brother Yang?" Jiang Xiaobai whispered tentatively.

"That will do."

[One year has passed. Yang Shi is performing the Ancestral Worship Ceremony at the ancestral hall.]

Yang Shi wore a respectful expression as he inserted three sticks of incense and reported to the ancestral tablets:

"Thanks to the Safe House bestowed by the Old Ancestor, in this past year, Yang Shi has transformed from a nameless little beggar into Master Yang. My strength has advanced by leaps and bounds, from the Body Tempering Second Layer to the Body Tempering Fourth Layer. I thank the Old Ancestor!"

"In the future, I will diligently practice my martial arts to reach the Innate Grandmaster realm as soon as possible, storm the Xiang Family, and avenge the blood feud of the Yang Family!"

Yang Shi's eyes were firm, a far cry from the self-abandoned clown he had been last year.

Thud, thud, thud!

Yang Shi kowtowed respectfully three times. Amidst the swirling smoke, the offerings on the altar slowly vanished.

[Yang Shi has successfully completed the Ancestral Worship Ceremony.]

[Incense Value +10]

[You have received offerings from a member of the Yang Family: 20 sets of Qi and Blood Supplement Powder, 10 Gu Jing Hui Yuan Pills.]

[Would you like to bestow a reward upon your descendant?]

One day in the modern world is one year in the cultivation world.

Yang Genshuo had been staring at the screen for an entire day without sleep.

"Satisfying~"

Looking at the 20 bags of herbs and 10 porcelain bottles that had appeared beside his computer, a satisfied smile broke across Yang Genshuo's slightly weary face.

This was a Divine Manifestation he had specifically triggered to designate the offerings for Yang Shi, lest the boy send over some useless junk he mistakenly deemed high-value.

In Qingshi County, although there were no cultivators, everyone practiced martial arts, and the atmosphere for martial cultivation was incredibly strong.

All kinds of supplements used for martial arts training were readily available, and their quality was definitely not something that ordinary herbs in the modern world could compare to.

These two types of supplements were not only useful for martial artists, but they were also highly beneficial to the bodies of ordinary people. However, they were expensive and unaffordable for anyone but wealthy families.

As for the effects, they were simple and easy to understand; they were all in the name.

"Wait until I finish handing out the rewards, then I'll eat one to test its medicinal properties."

As for the items to be rewarded to Yang Shi, he had already purchased them around the 300th day of game time.

"I admit that your world possesses natural materials that surpass ours, but if I were to bring out the Modern Food Industry System, how would you respond to that?"

"Go, my Shopping Box!"

Three hours ago, he had ordered takeout, spent his remaining ten thousand yuan in savings, and cleared out several food shelves at the supermarket. He had bought some high-value-for-money modern industrial food, which was the best option he could purchase quickly at the moment.

Duang~ Duang~

Five large boxes landed in the backyard, filled with brightly packaged food. Yang Shi kowtowed respectfully.

"Thank you, Old Ancestor, for the reward~"

He then picked up the instruction manual written by Yang Genshuo and began to read it.

On the other side, Yang Genshuo could hardly wait to try the specialized tonic for martial cultivators from the cultivation world.

He picked up a herbal pellet about the size of a Liuwei Dihuang Pill and held it to his nose to sniff.

A distinct medicinal scent, accompanied by wisps of fresh herbal fragrance, made the medicine not only pleasant to smell but also gave a refreshing sensation that cleared his nasal passages.

"This is definitely good stuff. Let me see how effective it is!"

"The most annoying thing is getting urine on your hands!"

He swallowed the Gu Jing Hui Yuan Pill in one gulp. A cool sensation surged down his esophagus into his body; the feeling was so intense that he could even sense the outline of his stomach.

The medicinal power radiated continuously from his stomach, and as his blood circulated, it carried this cool energy throughout his body. The sensation slowly spread, as if his entire being had been cleansed from the inside out. His head felt clear, his eyes bright, and the exhaustion from a day of staying up late vanished.

Then, his blood surged, and under the guidance of some unknown force, the medicinal power gathered at his kidneys.

BOOM!

A gush of hot steam erupted from Yang Genshuo's mouth. The coolness vanished, replaced by a fiery heat rising from his lower abdomen.

"Hm?"

Yang Genshuo felt a slight change in his body, as if he had returned to the age of eighteen, ready to test his mettle against a steel pipe.

He immediately took out his phone and dialed his girlfriend's number.

"Wanting, hurry! Come to my place quickly, I have a surprise for you!"

"Don't dawdle, I'm feeling very fired up right now!"
