Death God Cultivation and Farming Wellness

After saying that, Su Yuntao left.

Tang San could only ask Old Jack, "Grandpa Jack, what is a Soul Ring? How can one obtain a Soul Ring?"

But Chu Zhao had no mood to ask about any of that and quietly slipped away.

Only after returning to her own shabby little house did Chu Zhao tentatively call out in her heart.

System?

I'm here~

Two voices rang out at the same time, one male and one female. They sounded realistic, though neither seemed very old.

Chu Zhao roughly figured it out. The male voice belonged to the Death God Cultivation System, while the female voice belonged to the Farming and Wellness System.

Based on her experience reading novels in the past, Chu Zhao silently thought again: Open the Death God Cultivation System.

The moment the thought arose, a red translucent panel appeared before her.

Her personal information took up a large section, with every piece of data clearly displayed.

Name: Chu Zhao

Age: 6

Martial Soul: "Death God Scythe," Ziwei Star (unawakened)

Soul Power: Level 21

Soul Rings: None

Soul Skills: None

Soul Bones: None

Special Skills: Mastery of Traditional Chinese Medicine (on cooldown), Death God Domain (unawakened)

"? System, are you sure nothing's wrong? How am I level 21? Wasn't I just level 1?"

Chu Zhao felt utterly awful as she stared at the Soul Power reading on the system panel.

There is no issue with the system data. It was merely that this system activated just as the host was testing her Innate Soul Power, interfering with the Soul Power fluctuations and preventing them from being detected.

The Death God Cultivation System argued defensively. It found this strange too, because it seemed to remember not absorbing that much. By rights, the host should have displayed Innate Soul Power of level 11, shouldn't she?

Feeling guilty, the Death God Cultivation System immediately changed the subject.

Please open the newcomer gift pack and accept the novice mission.

"There's even something as good as a newcomer gift pack? I definitely have to open it."

Chu Zhao used her thoughts to locate and open the newcomer gift pack. Fireworks burst across the screen, followed by lines of text and the system's announcement:

Congratulations, Host. You have obtained one Thousand Year Soul Ring and the Death God Scythe Usage Guide. The Soul Ring has been automatically absorbed as the Death God Scythe's first Soul Ring.

Chu Zhao clicked back to her personal panel and saw that the Soul Rings, Soul Skills, and Special Skills sections had all changed. Before she could even celebrate, the system automatically played the novice mission.

Novice Mission: A qualified Death God must possess formidable combat strength. Please defeat one Soul Grandmaster or a Soul Beast over one hundred years old within one month to prove your combat ability.

Mission Completion Reward: All Soul Ring Ages increase by two thousand years; one Soul Bone.

Penalty for Failure: Receive an electric shock punishment for three minutes every day for one month.

"System, how can I awaken the Death God Domain?"

Having read novels before, Chu Zhao remembered that those Innate Domains were all incredibly powerful. Looking at the still-unawakened Death God Domain, she felt rather tempted.

When the host's Death God Scythe Martial Soul obtains its first Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, the Death God Domain will automatically awaken.

"Alright, alright, I understand. Go rest for now."

After closing the Death God Cultivation System, Chu Zhao looked at her left hand again.

In her left palm lay something resembling a date pit, except it was jade-white and emitted a soft glow. It clearly looked extraordinary, yet she had no idea what made it special.

She could only silently think again: Open the Farming and Wellness System.

The system page was familiar, except this one was a vibrant green. The personal information was quite similar, except the Martial Soul had changed from "Death God Scythe" to "Seed of Life," and the Domain had become the Life Domain.

"'Seed of Life'—what kind of Martial Soul is that? And why does it have quotation marks too?"

The Seed of Life is the Martial Soul's initial state. After a second awakening, it can evolve into the Seed of Chaos.

Chu Zhao: ?

So, could the Death God Scythe undergo a second awakening too?

It was already a Death God Scythe. What else could it possibly awaken into?!

And besides, didn't that mean she seemed to have three Martial Souls?!

This cheat ability seemed a tiny bit too powerful, and it made Chu Zhao a tiny bit panicked.

With her experience using the Death God Cultivation System, Chu Zhao easily found the newcomer gift pack and opened it.

Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a Thousand Year Soul Ring and one volume of the advanced wellness cultivation method, the Longevity Art. The Thousand Year Soul Ring has been automatically absorbed successfully.

Having two systems did have its benefits. At the very least, she could claim two copies of these good things!

She had struck it rich!

Novice Mission: The prerequisite for farming is having land to farm. Please purchase ten mu of fertile farmland within one month, scatter seeds across it, and wait for the harvest.

Mission Completion Reward: All Soul Ring Ages increase by two thousand years; one Soul Bone.

Penalty for Failure: Gain the Weakness debuff for one month.

Chu Zhao felt that she had celebrated too soon. Although the rewards were generous, handling both missions at once was exhausting, alright?!

This month, she had to buy ten mu of fertile land and plant it with seeds, while also defeating a Soul Grandmaster!

Don't be fooled by the fact that her Soul Power was now level 21. She only had one Soul Ring for each Martial Soul, making her merely a one-ring Soul Master.

Before Chu Zhao could continue wailing inwardly, Old Jack's voice sounded outside.

"Little Chu!"

"Good child, why did you come back alone? If I hadn't asked Xiao San, Grandpa wouldn't have known that you were the second person in our village with Soul Power. This is wonderful news!"

Only then did Chu Zhao remember that the systems had appeared so suddenly and excited her so much that she had forgotten to tell Old Jack before coming back. That really was a little rude.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa Jack. I got so excited that I forgot to tell you."

Of course she was excited. The cheat abilities she had waited three years for had suddenly arrived all at once.

"Hahaha."

Old Jack laughed heartily, delighted for Chu Zhao.

"You have a Martial Soul and Soul Power, so you can attend a Soul Master Academy and cultivate properly. Once you reach level 10, you'll have the chance to become a noble Soul Master."

Though her Innate Soul Power was as low as level 1, Old Jack still held high hopes for Chu Zhao. Besides, many ordinary people had low Innate Soul Power. Su Yuntao himself had only possessed level 2 Innate Soul Power, yet hadn't he become a level 26 Soul Grandmaster while still so young?

"Our village has one work-study student spot every year, allowing someone to study at the Junior Soul Master Academy in Nuoding City. Little Chu, Grandpa will give this spot to you. Study hard and become a Soul Master as soon as possible."

"Give it to me? What about Tang San? He has Innate Full Soul Power! Shouldn't it go to him instead?"

Chu Zhao had not expected to unknowingly snatch Tang San's work-study student spot. Tang San seemed a little petty. Would he say something like this to her later?

"You actually dared to steal my things. You have already earned the right to die, so I cannot spare you."

Just thinking about it frightened Chu Zhao. There were too many hidden dangers on Douluo Continent. She should hurry and study the Death God Scythe Usage Guide and the Longevity Art first. She could worry about the rest once she had the strength to protect herself.

"Xiao San is a good child, but he can't go. His father is irresponsible and actually refuses to let him attend a Soul Master Academy."
