Complete Mission, Simulation Count +1

In the blink of an eye, five years passed.

The Qin Clan's Heaven-Robbing Plan could no longer be kept secret, nor did they have any intention of hiding it.

During these five years, Qin Wangchuan spent most of his time sleeping, yet his cultivation realm did not fall behind anyone else's.

Being able to cultivate automatically while sleeping was simply fantastic.

It wasn't just within the clan; many people outside also knew that a Qilin Child had been born.

As the youngest of the nine direct descendants of the Qin Clan, he was the most favored one.

"Although the Longevity Immortal Body allows one to increase their realm without needing to cultivate, relatively speaking, its realm progression is slower than that of other Saint Bodies."

"Cultivation in this world begins at the Five Extremes Realm. The hands, feet, mouth, nose, and eyes are the foundations of a person. After that comes the Dao Embryo Realm, where one draws energy into the body and absorbs spirit to form an embryo."

"The Five Extremes refine the body, the Dao Embryo Realm nourishes the energy, and only after that does one reach the third realm: the Spirit Platform Realm."

"This is the true beginning of cultivation."

"Those who reach this realm can absorb the spiritual energy of the world and store it within their Spirit Platform. By drawing energy into the body, they can significantly strengthen themselves and perform various supernatural laws. For an ordinary person in the Upper Thousand Provinces, it takes fifteen years to reach this realm, while a prodigy takes ten."

In the Wangchuan Pavilion within the Qin Clan's small world, sandalwood incense curled into the air.

Qin Wenhe held a jade slip, explaining the essentials of cultivation to the five-year-old Qin Wangchuan.

This teacher, personally appointed by the Qin Clan Ancestor, appeared to be a refined scholar on the surface, but in reality, he had already lived for thirty thousand years.

"Young Master, although you possess the Longevity Immortal Body and have no advantage in cultivation speed, you do have the bonus of an Immortal Bone. I believe eight years will be enough."

Before Qin Wenhe could finish speaking, Qin Wangchuan, who was sitting on the floor, blinked his eyes and asked with an innocent expression, "It takes as long as eight years? But I broke through right after I woke up this morning."

As his voice fell, the aura around him suddenly changed, and a thick pressure of the Spirit Platform Realm slowly radiated outward.

Within his Spirit Platform, spiritual energy surged like a rushing river. His Five Extremes were connected, and the rhythm of the Dao faintly manifested with every movement he made.

"This..." Qin Wenhe's pupils constricted, and he nearly crushed the jade slip in his hand.

He maintained the dignity of a teacher on the surface, but his heart was already surging with stormy waves—the Spirit Platform Realm!

Moreover, his foundation was solid, and his spiritual energy was as condensed as substance.

Recalling that it had taken him eleven years of bitter cultivation to barely step into this realm, he felt a tightness in his chest by comparison.

But then, a second thought made him feel relieved—

After all, he was a monster bearing the Longevity Immortal Body; how could he be measured by common logic?

Qin Wenhe gave a light cough and feigned composure, saying, "Hmm... not bad. It seems the Young Master's talent is extraordinary; I have underestimated you."

After saying this, he looked at the young boy before him with a complex gaze.

A five-year-old child, his features still carrying a trace of childishness.

Yet those eyes were as deep as a sea of stars, as if they contained endless mysteries.

An Immortal Body coupled with an Immortal Bone, truly beyond the comprehension of mortal wisdom... Qin Wenhe sighed inwardly.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside the hall.

"Master Qin!" A maid in green hurried in, bowed respectfully, and whispered, "The Clan Head has sent word, requesting your immediate presence at the Heavenly Secret Pavilion for a meeting."

Qin Wenhe frowned.

He assumed it was to inquire about the Young Master's recent cultivation progress, and his brow soon smoothed out.

"I shall return shortly."

Qin Wangchuan had already thoroughly grasped the situation within the Qin Clan.

His father, the current Clan Head of the Qin Clan, was away on a campaign, and his grandfather was managing the family affairs in his stead.

That was why things had been busier lately.

Watching his teacher hurry away, Qin Wangchuan casually picked up a crystal-clear Flat Peach from the table and took a bite.

The surface of the peach was etched with faint golden patterns; it was an Immortal Peach that the Old Ancestor had specifically ordered to be delivered to him.

It was a true Immortal Peach.

It blossoms every thirty thousand years and bears fruit every thirty thousand years, yielding one thousand two hundred fruits at a time.

If someone from the lower realms were fortunate enough, merely smelling the fragrance of the fruit could grant them four thousand seven hundred years of life.

Eating one would increase one's lifespan by thirty-six thousand years.

Although it was merely a fruit for quenching thirst in Qin Wangchuan's hands, in the eyes of those in the lower realms, it was an elixir of immortality.

He had just taken a bite when, suddenly—

[System loading... 99.99%]

[Ding! System loading complete. Detecting that the host is currently in a difficult situation, lacking resources, and being neglected, the Humble Origins Counterattack System is at your service.]

Qin Wangchuan's expression became incredibly colorful.

Not to mention that this lousy system took five years just to load.

A difficult situation? Putting aside the peach he had just eaten, even a single peach pit alone would be enough to make the Holy Lands of a thousand realms fight until they were broken and bleeding.

Lacking resources? His Wangchuan Pavilion warehouse was already stuffed with gifts from the ancestors and others; it would be no exaggeration to call it a Treasure Pavilion.

Feeling neglected? Just yesterday, the ancestor had personally visited, terrified that he might suffer some mishap in his cultivation.

Seeing that Qin Wangchuan did not reply, the system's voice continued to echo in his ears:

"You were born into a humble cultivation family, but because your mother was a lowly courtesan and you were born with a waste body incapable of cultivation, you were met with cold glares from your family. Your resources were withheld, and you struggled to obtain even the most basic cultivation supplies..."

"At first, you were glad to move out of the mud alleys and into a great family, only to realize later that this was an even deeper abyss."

"As the youngest of the family's nine illegitimate sons, you have not only never seen your father's face, but you have also been bullied by your brothers and sisters, to the point where even servants dare to withhold your cultivation resources to your face."

"Are you truly resigned to this? Look around you—don't you want to make those who once looked down on you kneel at your feet and tremble? As long as you complete various counter-attack missions, this system will ensure you rise from your humble beginnings and become a supreme aristocratic family in one fell swoop. Cultivation techniques, divine weapons, and beauties will all be within your reach."

The system's voice was filled with temptation. Qin Wangchuan felt his blood boil just listening to it, but the problem was—

"System, what you're describing isn't me at all."

"You've got the wrong person."

System self-check in progress... Detection correct. Host Qin Wangchuan, the youngest illegitimate son of a humble cultivation family, suffering from bullying due to being born with a waste body.

"The Qin Clan has countless Great Emperors and even a Heavenly Emperor presiding over it. You call this a humble family? In terms of status, it's already at the absolute ceiling of the entire Cultivation World. How else am I supposed to 'counter-attack'? Rule the world?"

Qin Wangchuan almost laughed listening to the system spouting nonsense with such a straight face.

Born with a waste body? His Longevity Immortal Body was a peerless physique that even Great Emperors would covet.

System self-check in progress... Detection correct. Please do not be unrealistic, Host. Only by abandoning illusions can you take the first step toward your counter-attack.

Newbie mission issued: As a humble illegitimate son, even a maid dares to bully the Host! Please teach the maid a lesson within five days and make her kneel and beg for mercy!

"No, I have over two hundred maids here. Which one are you talking about?"

Trash system. It seems it bound itself to the wrong person.

Looking at the mission on the panel, Qin Wangchuan didn't know what to say.

Not to mention the system's completely inaccurate description of his background, he was the dignified Ninth Young Master of the Qin Clan's direct line. The two hundred-plus maids in his pavilion competed fiercely every day for the few spots as his personal attendants, fighting for the chance to be seen by him.

If any of them dared to say even one extra word, it would be considered an act of great courage.

How could he possibly be bullied?

Self-check in progress... Mission correct. By the way, the probability of this system making a mistake is as low as the world being destroyed.

"You've got a sharp tongue."

Detected the Host's skepticism. A Newbie Gift Pack has been issued: one Yellow Grade low-tier cultivation technique Qi Induction Technique, ten low-tier Spirit Stones, and one bottle of Qi Gathering Pills. Please accept, Host.

Qin Wangchuan looked at the pile of "shabby" items in front of him, completely speechless.

Is this really just a beginner's gift pack?

A Yellow Grade cultivation technique—he had never even heard of such a thing. He had only ever practiced Emperor-Grade Cultivation Techniques.

To make matters worse, it was specifically labeled as Yellow Grade (Low-Tier), as if it were something meant for someone who had just entered a newbie village.

As for the low-tier Spirit Stones, that was even more laughable.

He usually used Emperor-Grade Spirit Marrow Liquid for his baths; that was the hard currency of the Ten Directions Immortal Court.

He had heard his teacher, Qin Wenhe, mention Qi Gathering Pills before. They were apparently used for body tempering in the lower realms, specifically in Lower Thousand Provinces.

In Upper Thousand Provinces, even the dogs wouldn't eat this trash. Who are they trying to fob off?

[Please complete the task as soon as possible. Task reward: Origin +5, Simulation count +1]

[Current Host Origin: 250; Conversion: 2.5x.]

"A lousy system like you actually gives out Origin?" Qin Wangchuan's expression became incredibly vivid in an instant.

Origin, as the name suggests, is the foundation of a person.

It essentially determines a person's potential and cultivation speed.

His Longevity Immortal Body had very obvious advantages.

It cultivated automatically and had no bottlenecks when breaking through; he was destined to become an immortal in the future.

However, the drawbacks were also clear: the cultivation speed was too slow, slower than the vast majority of Sacred Bodies.

The higher the Origin, the faster the cultivation speed, which perfectly compensated for the shortcomings of his physique.

Only Great Emperors could increase their own Origin, yet this lousy system could actually provide it directly?

This dog of a system is surprisingly capable!

"Well then, let's give it a try."

He acted as soon as he thought of it, immediately waving to a maid in the distance.

Qin Wangchuan didn't even need to speak. Once she walked over, she immediately knelt down, waiting quietly for instructions.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing the task. The reward has been issued.]

[Origin +5, Current Origin: 2.55x]

Feeling the strange power surging within his body, Qin Wangchuan couldn't help but stretch.

Every inch of his skin felt as if it had become much lighter.

It was a feeling like a missing puzzle piece had finally returned to its place, making him feel more complete.

It felt wonderful.
