The Arrival of the Golden Finger

The Arrival of the Golden Finger

"Phew! Finally broke through to become a Dou Practitioner!"

Fa Wutian let out a long breath of relief, a flash of excitement crossing his eyes.

He took a crystal ball out of his storage ring and placed his hand upon it.

Instantly, the crystal ball was completely filled with a blazing red color. Upon closer inspection, a hint of green lingered within that fiery red!

Great, he possessed the fire and wood attributes, meaning he could become an alchemist!

Next came choosing a cultivation method!

Yet, the best cultivation method in his family was only of the High Xuan Tier, and at most it could only cultivate someone to the Dou Emperor realm! Advancing any further was simply impossible!

Thinking of this, Fa Wutian's gaze dimmed.

He couldn't help sighing at how blessed Xiao Yan's life truly was!

Being fellow transmigrators, not only did Xiao Yan have the Flame Mantra and Earth-Rank cultivation methods provided by Yao Lao to choose from, but he also had top-tier cultivation methods provided by Xiao Xun'er, leaving him with zero worries about cultivation methods!

Recalling his journey of transmigration, he couldn't help feeling emotional.

He had originally been a newly graduated college student who, while looking out for jobs without watching the road, was sent to hit his "performance quota" by a truck driver, thus bringing him to the Dou Continent.

Since he was an orphan in his past life, he didn't feel much lingering attachment to his home planet. In this life, although his parents had both passed away, he had a grandfather who was a Seven-Star Dou Emperor!

Ten years ago, he came to this world, becoming the biological grandson of Fama, the president of the Alchemist Association in the Gama Empire!

That same year, his parents successively fell during an assassination orchestrated by the Chuanyun Empire, leaving him as the sole descendant of the Fa Family!

From that very moment, he understood that this was no longer the comfortable and secure world of before, but a world where the strong preyed upon the weak!

He had trained day and night since he was four years old, and today, relying on the Qi Gathering Powder, he finally successfully broke through to become a Dou Practitioner!

He couldn't help sighing with emotion: Fortunately, he had a grandfather who was a peak Fifth-Rank Alchemist, otherwise acquiring this Qi Gathering Powder, which was ranked as a Fourth-Rank Pill, truly wouldn't have been easy.

Through intentionally and unintentionally inquiring about Nalan Yanran over the years, he had also figured out the current timeline.

He should be two and a half years older than Xiao Yan. Yao Lao hadn't started absorbing Xiao Yan's Douqi yet, and at this moment, Xiao Yan should still be basking in the undeserved reputation of a genius.

Thinking of the crisis decades later when Soul Tiandi would sacrifice the countless living beings of the Dou Continent to achieve the status of a Dou Emperor, his mood turned heavy.

He couldn't guarantee whether he would be able to escape it when that time came, so he had to devise a foolproof plan!

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about sucking up to Xiao Yan, but the moment he thought about how they were both transmigrators, why on earth must he suck up to him? Furthermore, he would be sucking up to a kid two and a half years younger than himself—an old uncle who actually didn't know how much older he was than him!

Yet, how to acquire the Flame Mantra posed a problem; after all, that was a cultivation method that led straight to the Emperor Realm!

Thinking of this, Fa Wutian muttered complaints under his breath.

"Damn heavens, everyone else who transmigrated got their own golden fingers, so how come down to me, there isn't even a single strand of hair?"

Just as Fa Wutian was grumbling, a cold, mechanical voice interrupted him.

Ding! Host detected, Realm Achievement System is binding!

Hearing this voice appear out of thin air, Fa Wutian was instantly struck with wild joy.

Holy shit, I knew it! I am the heavens' most cherished baby, how could I possibly not have a golden finger?

As if disgusted by Fa Wutian's fickle expression, the system transmitted its manual directly into his mind and fell silent.

After a good while, Fa Wutian finally figured out the system's function.

The Realm Achievement System, as the name implied, meant that every time he broke through a major realm, he could check in through the system to receive rewards!

Although this system was a bit useless, having something was better than nothing!

"System, check in!"

Ding! Detected that the host has broken through to the First Stage of Battle Qi, rewarded with the Low Earth-Rank Battle Skill -- Dragon Spear Wild Dance!

Ding! Detected that the host has broken through to the Dou Practitioner realm, rewarded with the Low Yellow-Rank cultivation method -- Flame Mantra!

Looking at the rewards provided by the system, Fa Wutian's mind went somewhat blank.

Just moments ago, he had been fretting over how on earth he could acquire the Flame Mantra, yet he never expected the system to deliver it right to his doorstep, complete with an Earth-Rank battle skill!

This system was actually quite nice! Even though it wasn't human!

Finished with his sigh of amazement, Fa Wutian impatiently began practicing the Flame Mantra, and the color of his Douqi slowly transformed into a pale yellow.

Seeing that the Flame Mantra had been successfully mastered, he circulated it to consolidate his own realm.

Afterwards, his gaze fell upon the Dragon Spear Wild Dance. He discovered that this battle skill was actually a spear technique!

Known as the "king of all weapons," the long spear had since ancient times been one of the most popular weapons among cold weapons. Fa Wutian yearned for it immensely.

Since he hadn't chosen a weapon yet and the system had now rewarded him with a spear technique, he might as well choose the long spear!

Although he was only ten years old right now, thanks to his cultivation, his height had already reached a meter and a half.

Even though he looked petite compared to a two-meter-long spear, it didn't affect his usage of it in the slightest!

Only, he didn't have a suitable long spear weapon on hand right now, so after thinking about it, he decided to go ask his grandfather for one!

Surely, after a lifetime of alchemy, the old man would have collected some spear-type weapons.

After all, having alchemists refine pills required paying a certain reward!

Before long, Fa Wutian arrived at the Alchemist Association.

The guards at the entrance saw Fa Wutian approaching and immediately stepped forward to flatter him.

"Young Master Wutian, what brings you here today? Do you need this humble servant to run any errands for you?"

To him, Fa Wutian was practically his god of wealth; as long as he kept him happy, his grandfather would definitely reward him.

A reward from a Fifth-Rank Alchemist—just thinking about it was thrilling!

"I'm here to find my grandfather!"

Since it was his first time coming here, he stated the purpose of his visit.

"Oh, so you're here to see the President! Please follow this humble servant, let me lead the way!"

Hearing this, the guard immediately wore a look of sudden realization, and promptly led Fa Wutian inside the Alchemist Association.

Meanwhile, the other guard watched the god of wealth walk away and couldn't help slapping his thigh in frustration.

Damn it, how did that brat beat him to it!

Walking into the Alchemist Association, people along the way scrambled to introduce themselves, hoping to secure a familiar face in front of Fa Wutian, the future president.

As for whether Fa Wutian could become an alchemist, they weren't worried in the slightest. Because his parents and grandfather were all alchemists, it was impossible for the tradition to break with him, right? Even if it truly did break, his grandfather Fama was a Fifth-Rank Alchemist after all, someone far beyond what they could ever afford to provoke!

"Young Master Wutian, my name is Nanyang, I'm from the Mitel Family, and I'm also a Second-Rank Alchemist!"

"Young Master Wutian, my name is Gong Qing, I am a Third-Rank Alchemist!"

"Young Master Wutian, I..."

Faced with everyone's enthusiastic introductions, Fa Wutian nodded in response to each one. Finally, finding it overwhelmingly annoying, he quickly followed the guard and left the lobby.
