Background

Zi Yu used a system to obtain cultivation resources, techniques, artifacts, summon cards, and missions. His early development included becoming an alchemist, refining top-grade Qi Restoration Pills on his first attempt, and collecting a large reserve of high-rank techniques and Dou Skills. 15 26

He settled in Wutan City with Ling Qingzhu, Gu Xun'er, and Miao Ke'er, later bringing the summoned Dongfang Jing into their household. 26 He also used a Beginner Loyalty Card on Yao Chen, securing the loyalty of a Ninth Grade Pill Grandmaster and Dou Saint-level powerhouse. 27
