Walking the Righteous Path Earnestly

Xiao Yu stared blankly at his status panel.

Third-Grade Alchemist? Three-Star Dou Shi? 2,000 Source Coins? Was that the... punishment mentioned earlier?

His alchemy had always improved through the system's rewards. When he passed through the Magic Beast Mountain Range, he had barely managed to refine a second-grade pill, yet now he had been directly rewarded with an increase of an entire rank.

Not only in alchemy, but in strength as well—he had gone from a Two-Star Dou Shi to a Three-Star Dou Shi. Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes and cautiously asked the system.

"System, this... isn't some mistake, is it?"

"Warning. If I give it to you, take it. Don't be so shameless."

The voice that suddenly rang out was not the system's usual mechanical voice. A chill ran down Xiao Yu's back.

"Who? Who are you?"

The voice from before was hoarse and weary, like an old leather belt scraping together. Its sudden appearance gave Xiao Yu a fright.

Combined with the system's sudden malfunction, Xiao Yu's thoughts were in complete turmoil.

Could some old ghost be planning to possess my body?

Xiao Yu thought anxiously.

Within a chaotic expanse, an existence suppressed by unknown laws roared furiously.

"Damn it, possess you? With that scrawny little body of yours, you wouldn't even withstand one look from me, and you think I'd possess you?"

"If I could get out right now, I'd show you why flowers are so damn red! Ah!"

As he roared, chains of law coiled around the figure. His face could not be seen, and even his howls were tightly confined within that chaotic space.

Xiao Yu waited for quite a while, but nothing changed. He could not help saying,

"Whatever. As long as the system's still around, I'll keep squeezing it for all it's worth."

With that mindset, Xiao Yu stopped dwelling so much on the system malfunction. There was nothing he could change now anyway. He should just focus on growing stronger first.

Still, looking at his Three-Star Dou Shi strength, Xiao Yu grinned.

"Heh, who would've thought? I actually turned disaster into a blessing and advanced to Three-Star Dou Shi. This leveling speed..."

Opening his eyes and tossing the system's abnormality to the back of his mind, Xiao Yu finally began examining Xiao Yi Xian's valley.

The surroundings were beautiful, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. It was secluded and tranquil, undisturbed by anyone.

It truly was a fine place to cultivate. Unfortunately, most of his strength had come from the system. As long as nothing went wrong with it, all he needed to do was follow the system to grow stronger.

In the distance, Xiao Yu spotted Xiao Yi Xian gathering herbs in the medicinal field.

Dressed in white, Xiao Yi Xian bent over among the herbs, carefully searching for the plants she needed.

Blue Eagle was resting in an open area nearby.

Looking at the beautiful scene, Xiao Yu could not help thinking,

Living in seclusion here during quieter times wouldn't be bad either!

Xiao Yu rose to his feet and walked toward the depths of the valley. Since he was here, he naturally needed to familiarize himself with the surroundings. He would lie low here for now, then head to his next cultivation destination.

While Xiao Yu and Xiao Yi Xian hid in the valley, Xiao Yan and Medicine Elder were cultivating beside a secluded waterfall elsewhere in the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

"Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler!"

With Xiao Yan's furious roar, a fierce red radiance shot from the Heavy Xuan Ruler in his hand, violently striking the waterfall crashing down before him.

"Boom!"

As the Earth Tier Dou Technique erupted, even the waterfall's flow was split apart.

The scorching aura even overwhelmed the area's perpetual dampness. The vegetation around the waterfall was baked until its branches and leaves withered.

Splash!

Xiao Yan fell into the pool beneath the waterfall. He poked his head out of the water, looked at Medicine Elder in delight, and said joyfully,

"Teacher, I succeeded!"

Seeing Xiao Yan's excited face, Medicine Elder could not help feeling proud. In just a few days, he had initially mastered an Earth Tier Dou Technique. Xiao Yan's talent left Medicine Elder deeply gratified.

Looking at the delighted Xiao Yan, Medicine Elder said softly,

"Since you have initially mastered the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler, you should have realized that your physical condition is still too weak, and your cultivation method has not yet advanced. You simply cannot support using it a second time. Unless absolutely necessary, do not use it lightly."

Hearing Medicine Elder's words, Xiao Yu nodded in agreement. After using the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler just once, he could already feel as though his body were being torn apart. This was the oppressive sensation caused by his meridians being unable to withstand the forceful use of an Earth Tier Dou Technique. Moreover, the Dou Qi in his body had been completely drained by the technique.

Unless it was a desperate situation, it truly was unsuitable to use the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler. The burden was simply too great. Once he used that move, he would have no ability to resist. If he failed to kill his opponent, he could only be slaughtered at their mercy.

"We've been in the Magic Beast Mountain Range for several days and still haven't found any news of your senior brother. Let's continue deeper and search some more..."

Within the isolated valley, Xiao Yu and Xiao Yi Xian were each busy pursuing their own paths of cultivation.

Xiao Yi Xian shut herself in the thatched cottage to study her Poison Manual, while Xiao Yu wandered about... outside the valley.

It was not that Xiao Yu did not want to cultivate. Rather, his path of cultivation had always relied on the system. Now that the system had undergone an abnormal change, a trace of fear had arisen in his heart, leaving him afraid to cultivate.

Since that was the case, he could only amuse himself in the valley every day.

Sometimes he played with Xiao Lan, sometimes he tended the flowers and plants. He appeared relaxed and at ease, but in truth, it was because of the unease in his heart.

Several days passed like this, and Xiao Yu gradually escaped the shadow cast by that day.

He completely put the system malfunction out of his mind. Even without the system, he now had the Chaos Flame Body, along with cultivation methods and Dou Techniques. Xiao Yu believed that he could still make something of himself through his own efforts. As for ten years later? He would deal with that when the time came.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu smiled freely.

"I was just scaring myself. If I relied on the system for everything after coming to this other world, wouldn't I miss all the wonders along the way?"

With his resolve renewed, Xiao Yu found his usual sunbathing spot, sat cross-legged, and sensed the Dou Qi within his body.

Ever since the system abnormality had elevated him to a Three-Star Dou Shi, Xiao Yu had been considering the reason behind the system's supposed mutation. Based on what the system had said, it should have been because he destroyed the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

In other words, interfering with the plot to a certain extent would cause the system to malfunction. Yet when he considered what had happened in the Magic Beast Mountain Range with Yun Zhi, it had not triggered any system failure. There had even been a special mission for him.

Unable to figure it out, Xiao Yu stopped dwelling on it and focused on cultivating. The system was merely a shortcut on his path of cultivation. Without that shortcut, he would walk the righteous path earnestly.

After consolidating his Three-Star Dou Shi strength, Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes and took something from his Storage Ring.

It was the Companion Amethyst Source he had obtained from the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's cave in the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

Taking out a bottle of Companion Amethyst Source, Xiao Yu carefully opened its cap.

Xiao Yu immediately sensed that the fire-element particles in the surrounding air had become more active.
