Humanoid Transformation Pill

"Hard, hard, hard! How was my life as a transmigrator still this hard even with a system?"

In the wilderness, a black-haired man lay beside a lake, holding a gourd high as wine poured down like a waterfall.

After taking a gulp, the black-haired man gazed at the bright moon high in the sky, his expression lonely and lost.

The man's name was Bai Yuan. He was a transmigrator who had arrived on Douluo Continent three months ago.

Back then, Bai Yuan had awakened a system. As long as he took in disciples and taught them, he could continuously grow stronger. He had thought he would reach the pinnacle of life on Douluo Continent and gather beauties from every corner.

Yet the system wanted him to teach people cultivation!

Cultivating on Douluo Continent was simply absurd.

Still, for the system rewards, Bai Yuan had gone to take in disciples. After all, he would receive a Beginner Gift Pack once he accepted his first disciple.

At first, Bai Yuan had been full of ambition. He earned a little money through work, then went looking for Tang San, hoping to take that protagonist as his disciple.

But Tang San had just become Yu Xiaogang's disciple at the time, and Bai Yuan was mercilessly humiliated when he went there.

Afterward, Bai Yuan held back his anger and traveled around for days in search of a disciple, only to find that no one was willing to become his disciple at all.

Even when Bai Yuan approached children without Innate Soul Power and said he could help them cultivate, they only took him for a swindler.

By now, Bai Yuan was nearly out of money and still had not found a disciple. He even felt that no one would ever be willing to become his disciple.

After all, one could not cultivate without Innate Soul Power. Anyone without even a single Soul Ring was weak—this was common knowledge on Douluo Continent.

Though Bai Yuan really was weak right now...

"Did I transmigrate and gain a system only to live the life of an ordinary person?" Bai Yuan stared blankly at the sky.

As someone who had transmigrated with his Physical Body, Bai Yuan naturally had no martial soul. Therefore, he could not grow stronger through this world's cultivation system.

"Who wants to be my disciple? Anyone will do! Your master guarantees I'll make you soar." Bai Yuan drunkenly muttered to himself.

A crisp ding suddenly rang out in his mind.

"Congratulations, host, on successfully accepting a disciple!"

"Ding! Beginner Gift Pack being distributed! Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Most Needed Item Chest."

Bai Yuan abruptly sat up, ecstasy flooding his heart.

He had a disciple! He had merely shouted casually, yet he had somehow completed the system's beginner mission!

He had searched everywhere in worn-out shoes, only to find it without any effort.

Thinking back on the time since his transmigration, tears could not help but stream down Bai Yuan's face.

Suppressing his excitement, Bai Yuan scanned his surroundings, desperately searching for his disciple's figure. Yet he did not see a single person.

"System, where is my disciple?"

Bai Yuan asked impatiently in his heart.

The system did not answer. Instead, a guiding icon like one from a game appeared before Bai Yuan's eyes.

Bai Yuan followed where the icon pointed, and his entire expression collapsed as though he had fallen into a state of self-isolation.

"My disciple... is a Lotus?"

After staring blankly for a moment, Bai Yuan angrily said, "System, are you messing with me? How am I supposed to communicate with a Lotus? It isn't a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, so how am I meant to teach it cultivation?"

The aloof system never responded to its host's questions. Only the icon visible to Bai Yuan continued pointing directly at the Lotus swaying in the lake breeze.

"This Lotus should be a Plant-type Soul Beast that's a few hundred years old. It has barely developed Spiritual Intelligence, and since it became my disciple, it probably won't attack me."

Bai Yuan entered the water and swam toward the middle of the lake. The water was cool, but since it was summer, it only felt refreshing.

Before long, Bai Yuan reached his disciple.

He had not noticed from afar, but upon looking closer, Bai Yuan realized that this Lotus was huge. Its diameter was roughly ten feet, while its height reached five or six meters.

"Forget it. Let's take a look at that chest first." Bai Yuan opened his system panel.

[Host: Bai Yuan]

[Cultivation: Mortal]

[Items: Most Needed Item Chest]

[Number of Disciples: 1]

[Bound Disciples: None (Current Binding Limit: 1) (After binding a disciple, whenever that disciple advances, the host will also gain the same amount of cultivation.)]

[Master Virtue Points: 0]

[Shop: Click to Open]

"View the properties of the Most Needed Item Chest."

Bai Yuan silently commanded.

[Most Needed Item Chest: Upon use, grants four items the host currently needs most. Item quality and quantity are random.]

Bai Yuan's eyes lit up.

This thing was practically a Divine Artifact!

"Use it!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on obtaining Beast Transformation Pill x1, Qi Refining Pill x3, Qi Refining Pill Recipe x1, and Azure Lotus Heavenly Heart Art x1."

[Beast Transformation Pill: Allows a Demon Beast below the Golden Core Realm to assume humanoid form in advance. The host may shape its appearance in advance.]

[Qi Refining Pill: When taken by ordinary people, increases the chance of successfully entering the Qi Refining Realm. When taken by Qi Refining Realm cultivators, increases cultivation speed.]

[Qi Refining Pill Recipe: The recipe for refining Qi Refining Pills, modified to use medicinal herbs already available on Douluo Continent.]

[Azure Lotus Heavenly Heart Art: A cultivation art for Lotus demons. Upon cultivation to perfection, one may transform into a Chaos Green Lotus and possess the mighty power to create a universe.]

Bai Yuan was ecstatic. The Beast Transformation Pill had truly solved his urgent problem. It was indeed worthy of being the Most Needed Item Chest.

"Precious disciple, your master will now give you the ability only a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast possesses." Bai Yuan took out the Humanoid Transformation Pill.

The pill was flawless, transparent as water, and gave off a faint fragrance. Within it seemed to be the shadow of a human figure.

"System, how should I shape my disciple's appearance?"

When Demon Beasts assumed humanoid form, they essentially shaped themselves into human appearances. That was why female demons were all very beautiful.

As for male demons, perhaps they thought their own appearances were the coolest—tall and mighty, covered in muscles, fierce and savage—because only that could display their strength.

Just like how muscular men believed those massive muscles easily attracted girls' attention.

Plants, however, were extremely special. They could be considered both male and female, or they could be said to have no gender at all.

A character customization model appeared before Bai Yuan. Yet this customization covered everything, including body shape and skin color.

"This is practically custom-ordering a disciple."

Bai Yuan licked his lips. With a thought, the figure model floating in the air began moving as well.

Before long, a stunning Mature Woman appeared, with snow-white hair reaching her waist and gorgeous wine-red eyes.

After carefully admiring her for a while, Bai Yuan could not help shaking his head.

"No, no! I still need to take her to get revenge on Yu Xiaogang. I can't make her this grown-up, or she won't be able to participate in the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament."

The scene from some time ago flashed through Bai Yuan's mind: he had gone to find Tang San and tried to take him as a disciple, only to be humiliated by them and thrown out of Nuoding Academy by the gatekeeper.

"I'll establish a Cultivation Academy and train it to crush Shrek Academy at the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament!"

Bai Yuan made up his mind. The image of the stunning Mature Woman before him rapidly changed, and before long, she became a little girl.

The little girl still had gorgeous wine-red eyes, but her snow-white waist-length hair had become two buns, adorned with lotus-shaped ornaments.

"Not bad." Bai Yuan smiled. After restoring his disciple's body to normal proportions, he removed his coarse cloth clothes and placed the Humanoid Transformation Pill on the Lotus stalk.

The Humanoid Transformation Pill merged into it. The enormous Lotus was completely enveloped in light, then melted like liquid before finally transforming into a little girl with two buns on her head.
