Heavenly Low Grade Technique

After leaving the Mite'er Auction House, Xiao Jin returned home and told Xiao Ying and Xiao Yi Xian that he was leaving Wutan City. Now, the family sat in the hall discussing what needed to be prepared before his departure.

"Have you thought it through?" Xiao Ying's voice was somewhat hoarse. Though he knew Xiao Jin would leave sooner or later and had long prepared himself for it, now that the moment had truly come, his heart was full of reluctance.

"Grandpa, I've already made up my mind. My strength is still too weak. Once I become one of the strongest on this continent, I'll come back and stay by your side. Please believe me, it won't take long." Xiao Jin looked at Xiao Ying resolutely. Xiao Yi Xian said nothing, only quietly holding Xiao Jin's hand and giving him her support.

"All right. I didn't expect this day to come so soon." Xiao Ying's voice was tinged with disappointment.

Looking at the lonely old man before him, Xiao Jin felt terrible as well. After all, this was his own grandfather. Naturally, he could not bear to see him sad.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. With my talent, it won't be long before I become one of the strongest on this continent. Then I'll come back in glory to pick you up and show you the scenery at the pinnacle of this world." Xiao Jin's words brimmed with confidence. After all, he was a man with a system.

Looking at the high-spirited youth before him, Xiao Ying put away the trace of reluctance in his eyes. Since Xiao Jin wanted to venture out into the world, he naturally could not hold him back.

"Grandpa believes in you. Grandpa will wait for you in the family to come pick me up."

Xiao Jin then turned to Xiao Yi Xian beside him and hesitated. With his and the Earth Demon Puppet's strength, protecting Xiao Yi Xian within the Jia Ma Empire would be more than enough. But once they left the Jia Ma Empire and entered the Northwest Region, it would no longer be sufficient. Whether there were any Dou Shengs in the entire Northwest Region was uncertain, but there were at least some Dou Zuns. For instance, the Lion Nether Sect that besieged the Yan Alliance in the original story had several Dou Zuns. There were several such factions throughout the Northwest Region. He had no idea how many Dou Zuns there were among them. To Dou Zuns, everyone below their level was nothing more than ants. So until he was absolutely certain he could protect Xiao Yi Xian, he did not really want to bring her along.

As though sensing Xiao Jin's thoughts, Xiao Yi Xian's expression dimmed, and she silently lowered her head without saying a word.

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian like this, Xiao Jin shook his head. "Forget it. We'll go together. With my and the Earth Demon Puppet's strength, wouldn't we be able to walk sideways through the Jiamar Empire? If we really run into trouble we can't handle, I still have the system."

"Let's see whether the System Mall has a storage space that can hold living creatures. If it does, that would be perfect. If we can't win, I'll just put Xiao Yi Xian into the space and run." Thinking this, Xiao Jin smiled and squeezed Xiao Yi Xian's delicate hand.

Xiao Yi Xian raised her little face and saw the smile on Xiao Jin's face. As though she understood something, she smiled as well. The charm of that instant left Xiao Jin somewhat dazed.

Her delicate hand was tightly held by Xiao Jin, and he was staring at her blankly while Xiao Ying watched the two of them with amusement. Xiao Yi Xian felt terribly embarrassed, and a blush slowly rose on her face.

Seeing this, Xiao Ying coughed. "Since you've already decided, why aren't you packing? Have you prepared everything?"

Xiao Ying's words jolted the dazed Xiao Jin awake. Seeing that Xiao Yi Xian's face was red all the way to the base of her neck, Xiao Jin hurriedly released her hand. With an awkward smile, he said, "There's no need to pack much. Just a few sets of clothes and some food. With my flying speed, it won't take long to reach the Imperial Capital."

"Your things are easy to pack, but what about Xian'er's? She's a girl, after all. It's not as convenient for her as it is for you." Xiao Ying shot Xiao Jin a glare.

By then, the blush on Xiao Yi Xian's face had gradually faded. She stood up and ran happily toward her room to pack her things.

"Stinky brat, since you're taking Xian'er with you, I won't say much more. Promise Grandpa this: you must return safely with Xian'er. If you encounter danger, make sure to take Xian'er and run first. Only by staying alive is there hope."

Xiao Ying solemnly warned Xiao Jin. Over the past few days of interacting with Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Ying had discovered that she was not only stunningly beautiful and gentle in temperament, but also kindhearted. He truly liked Xiao Yi Xian and had already regarded her as his future granddaughter-in-law. Naturally, he did not want anything to happen to her.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll definitely protect Xiao Yi Xian." Xiao Jin made a solemn promise.

"Grandpa believes you. Go pack your things too. Tonight, the two of us will have a proper drink. Tomorrow, Grandpa will see you off." Xiao Ying patted Xiao Jin's shoulder, then strode away to instruct the servants to prepare the evening banquet.

Xiao Jin returned to his room but did not pack anything. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began calling for the system. Before leaving, he planned to draw another round of prizes and see whether he could get what he wanted.

"Linglong, open the System Mall. Let me see how much a spatial treasure that can hold living creatures costs."

A blue screen appeared before Xiao Jin, displaying introductions to countless treasures.

Summoning Ring, a top-tier spatial treasure capable of storing an entire world. Price: Breakthrough Points

Sky Concealing Pouch, a top-tier spatial treasure with an independent space inside. It can store living creatures, preserve their vitality and life force, and allow them to live normally within it. Price: Breakthrough Points

...

Looking at the treasures in the System Mall, Xiao Jin nearly drooled. But when he saw their prices, he nearly spat out blood. If I had that many Breakthrough Points, I might already have broken through to the Dou Sheng realm. What would I need these things for? I could create a space of my own.

"Linglong, is there anything I can afford right now?" Xiao Jin asked unwillingly.

"There is, Host. For example, the common Spirit Beast Bag. It is a spatial treasure capable of holding living creatures and generally belongs to the low-grade category. Although it can ensure that living creatures do not die, they have no room to move within it and cannot reproduce or thrive. Price: Breakthrough Points."

Xiao Jin looked at his balance of Breakthrough Points with some helplessness.

"Linglong, is there any other way?" Xiao Jin asked unwillingly.

"Ding! The Host can draw prizes. There are things the Host wants inside."

Xiao Jin hesitated. Should he wait until he reached the Imperial Capital and earned some money to buy a Spirit Beast Bag, or should he draw prizes? After thinking for a while, Xiao Jin gritted his teeth and decided to gamble.

"Linglong, I want to conduct a Silver Lottery."

A Lottery Wheel appeared before Xiao Jin. "Linglong, let's start with ten draws."

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the high-grade Xuan-tier Dou Skill, Blazing Sun Three Swords."

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining Thank You for Your Patronage ×9."

"Did I get a prize? Too bad it's not what I urgently need right now." Xiao Jin was somewhat disappointed.

"Linglong, another ten draws." Xiao Jin gritted his teeth and continued.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Heavenly Low Grade Technique, Source of Calamitous Poison." Xiao Jin froze. Was this a poison-attribute technique? A scroll appeared in his hand, and Xiao Jin began examining it.

Source of Calamitous Poison: Heavenly Low Grade Technique. Using special poisons as guidance, it condenses a poison vortex within the body. In the later stages of cultivation, the practitioner's entire body will become a poison-element energy body, capable of freely absorbing toxins and releasing ten times the amount of poison as poison masters of the same level. If the practitioner possesses a Calamity Poison Body, this technique's effects will be even stronger. Absorbing highly poisonous substances can directly raise cultivation, and the practitioner will not suffer backlash from the poison body in the later stages.

Xiao Jin was overjoyed. He had been worrying about Xiao Yi Xian's cultivation, yet it had been solved so easily.

"Linglong, I love you to death!" Xiao Jin shouted.
