"Huff~"
"Finally done."
Qin Yuan leaned back on the sofa and sighed in relief.
After spending quite some time on it, he had finally finished cleaning the house.
With physical fitness comparable to an Advanced Servant-level Demonic Beast, he was not tired physically. The main issue was the mental exhaustion, which truly did not feel good.
[Ding, Bocheng Check-in successful. Distributing rewards...]
At that moment, the system's voice arrived right on cue.
Qin Yuan's hand paused slightly as he recorded something. He put down his phone and listened carefully for the check-in rewards.
[Ding, congratulations, Master. You have obtained one Elemental Magic Awakening Card, one Spirit-grade Control Magic Artifact, and one portion of Earth Sacred Spring.]
"Elemental Magic Awakening Card: after use, it allows you to awaken an additional elemental magic element."
"Spirit-grade Control Magic Artifact: accelerates control over magic Star Seeds."
"Earth Sacred Spring: doubles cultivation speed when nearby."
Qin Yuan looked at the reward descriptions and was utterly astonished.
Any one of the three was an invaluable treasure. The Magic Awakening Card in particular meant having an extra magic element.
It would be impossible to say he was not envious of those with an Innate Dual System. After all, everyone had desires and wanted more.
Qin Yuan was no exception.
There were too many things he wanted to count.
"A Spirit-grade Control Magic Artifact and Earth Sacred Spring."
"Looks like I won't need eight months. Maybe I can complete magic casting in just two months."
A smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of Qin Yuan's mouth.
With so many cultivation resources, if he still could not complete magic casting within three months, he might as well not live.
"I need to make a proper cultivation plan." Qin Yuan stroked his smooth chin as he thought.
Qin Yuan took out the Elemental Magic Awakening Card. It was a dazzling, multicolored card, with elements such as flames, ice, lightning, and tornadoes interweaving across its surface.
"Use."
Qin Yuan silently commanded.
Whoosh!
The card transformed into a streak of multicolored energy and entered Qin Yuan's spiritual world. A new magic Star Dust gradually formed.
Qin Yuan immersed his mind and examined the Star Dust.
Purple Star Dust—Lightning Element.
"A Lightning Element with a one-in-a-thousand chance. An offense-focused magic element. Not bad."
Qin Yuan was very satisfied.
Even though his Ice Element had an Innate Spirit Seed, it was still geared more toward control and lacked strong offensive and defensive methods.
Now that he had the Lightning Element, it perfectly made up for Qin Yuan's shortcomings in offense.
Moreover, the Lightning Element naturally came with a paralysis effect, which also counted as a minor form of control.
The Ice Element and Lightning Element made a good combination.
With a shift of his mind, Qin Yuan's consciousness left his spiritual world. He took out the other two items from the System Space: the Control Magic Artifact and the Earth Sacred Spring.
The Control Magic Artifact resembled a ring, with faint white light flowing over it. He only needed to wear it when using it.
The Earth Sacred Spring was stored in a special container. Though it looked like a small bottle, there was quite a lot inside—probably about as much as Bocheng's Earth Sacred Spring.
When used, he could turn the knob on top to release the warm aura of the Earth Sacred Spring. It could not only assist cultivation, but also reduce waste.
"They're all good stuff." Qin Yuan sighed before storing the two treasures back in the System Space.
The Space Ring was merely for concealment. The System Space was what truly mattered.
"I need to make a proper cultivation plan."
Qin Yuan stroked his smooth chin as he thought.
He had a pile of treasures on him that needed to be put to use. He needed to create a relatively complete cultivation plan to ensure every resource was fully utilized.
"System, open my information panel." Qin Yuan silently commanded in his heart.
[Ding, Master's information panel is as follows.] [Master: Qin Yuan] [Age: 16] [Cultivation: Quasi-Elementary Mage] [Magic Elements: Ice, Lightning] [Spiritual Power: First Realm] [Talents: Innate Spirit Seed, Pure Yang Mortal Body] [Technique: Pure Yang Divine Art] [Items: White Tiger Vessel, Control Magic Artifact, Earth Sacred Spring, Soulless Vessel, Rock Army Demon Armor, Water Raging Shield, 13.14 million Huaxia Coin...]
The information panel was quite extensive, especially the items section. Aside from the check-in rewards, many of the items had been gifts from Qin Yuer.
"I'll cultivate the Ice Element first. Once it breaks through to the Intermediate Level, I'll raise the Lightning Element as well. That way, I'll have combat power without wasting time."
"And there's the Pure Yang Divine Art. That is my true foundation."
"As for actual combat experience, I'll consider it once my cultivation reaches the Intermediate Level."
Qin Yuan made a rough plan for his future cultivation.
With the White Tiger Vessel, Control Magic Artifact, and Earth Sacred Spring boosting him, he would certainly complete magic casting within two months and become a genuine Elementary Level One Mage.
"Meditative Cultivation."
Qin Yuan no longer hesitated. He immersed his mind and began Meditative Cultivation.
By his estimate, he only needed half a month of Meditative Cultivation to reach the conditions for controlling Star Seeds.
The night passed just like that.
The next morning.
"Check in."
[Ding, activation successful. Congratulations, Master, you have obtained one Nutritious Breakfast.]
"..."
Qin Yuan looked at the milk, eggs, and meat Bao set he had just bought and fell into deep thought.
Damn system.
Its check-in rewards even included breakfast. It had truly shown him up.
"Misstep."
Qin Yuan rubbed his temples helplessly.
Still, breakfast could not go to waste. After quickly eating a little, Qin Yuan took out the Nutritious Breakfast from the System Space.
Milk, eggs, and Bao.
It was still a three-piece set, but the milk in this breakfast came from some kind of farmed cattle-type demon, the eggs came from a Singing and Dancing Chicken-type Demon, and the meat inside the Bao came from a pig-type demon.
In short, this breakfast looked ordinary, but its nutritional value was extremely high.
Qin Yuan carried the breakfast downstairs and walked to Building 3. Just as he pressed the elevator button, the doors opened, revealing a sweet-looking girl inside.
"Brother Qin Yuan!"
Ye Xin Xia cried out in surprise.
"Oh, perfect." Qin Yuan was slightly surprised, then smiled. "The breakfast shop owner's daughter saw how handsome I was and specially gave me an extra serving."
"I can't finish it. Here, take it."
Qin Yuan handed the Nutritious Breakfast to Ye Xin Xia, then pushed her out of the elevator.
Puchi!
Ye Xin Xia could not help laughing. After accepting the breakfast, she quietly teased, "Brother Qin Yuan is so narcissistic."
"Hm?"
Qin Yuan raised a brow. He pushed the wheelchair with one hand while using the other to pinch Ye Xin Xia's tender cheek. "Brother Qin Yuan is so what?"
"Mmph..."
Ye Xin Xia made a soft sound. It was not from pain, but embarrassment.
To escape Qin Yuan's clutches, Ye Xin Xia had no choice but to say against her conscience, "Brother Qin Yuan is really handsome."
"Ah, now that's pleasant to hear."
Qin Yuan released Ye Xin Xia's cheek, then smiled faintly. "Let's go. From now on, I can take you to and from school."
"Okay."
At those words, delight appeared on Ye Xin Xia's face.
If they went to and from school together every day, she would be able to stay with Qin Yuan all the time. That was wonderful.
Overjoyed, Ye Xin Xia began eating the Nutritious Breakfast Qin Yuan had gotten by charming the "shop owner's daughter."
And so, Qin Yuan pushed the wheelchair from behind while Ye Xin Xia ate in small bites.
Before long, they arrived at Inscribed Girls Middle School.
After giving her a few reminders, Qin Yuan hailed a taxi and headed toward Tianlan Magic High School.
