The mountain village was quiet in the dead of night.
Apart from a slight gust of wind, there was nothing else.
Ling Yun was already asleep.
Unlike Ling Yi, Ling Yun recovered a significant amount of strength after drinking the Spiritual Water.
But ultimately, due to her weak body, she fell asleep after chatting with Ling Yi for a while.
On the contrary, Ling Yi was very energetic at the moment and found it difficult to fall asleep for the time being.
The key issue is that it's too early now.
It was around 8 PM.
But there was nothing to do.
Unable to sleep, Ling Yi simply got up and covered Ling Yun with his own blanket.
He jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed), went out of the room, and came into the courtyard.
Looking up at the vast night sky and the countless Stellar Transformations, Ling Yi was deeply moved.
The Milky Way seemed to flow backwards, Stellar Transformations shone brightly, like sparkling gems embedded in the sky.
It seems like it's been a long time since I've seen such a beautiful night sky.
In his previous life, Ling Yi had only ever seen a night sky full of dazzling Stellar Transformations when he was a child.
After high school, it seemed that there were fewer and fewer stars in the sky, and they were getting dimmer.
Later, there were hardly any stars left to see in the sky.
"System, is it true that I can only get one Upgrade Points per day? Are there any other ways to get Upgrade Points?"
[Ding! You can earn Upgrade Points by completing tasks.]
"There are other tasks?"
[Ding, certain prerequisites must be met before the task will be triggered.]
"So, are there any tasks now?"
[Ding, host's current situation and strong desire to improve strength have been detected. Mission issued: First Kill in Another World.]
[Mission Objective: Enter the back mountain and achieve the first kill of the prey. The prey must be at least medium-sized.]
[Reward for completing the mission: 2 Upgrade Points, and entry of the host's previous life skill list.]
The system panel pops up automatically.
A new "Tasks" tab has been added to the system interface.
[ Everything Upgrade System Version 1.0!]
[Host: Ling Yi ]
[Constitution: 4]
[Skills: None]
[Available upgrade attempts: 0 (Daily upgrade attempts automatically increase by 1, and attempts can be accumulated)]
(Note: Simply recite the command to use it; it upgrades everything!)
[ Personal Space: None]
[Task List]
{1. First Kill in Another World (incomplete)!} [ Click to View ]
"Aren't there any penalties for completing the mission?"
[Ding, Host, the main purpose of this system is to assist you in your growth.]
Ling Yi nodded in satisfaction. It was a good system.
"System, everything can be upgraded, so can skills be upgraded too?"
[Ding, it's working!]
Ling Yi instantly recalled the skills he had learned in his previous life.
If some of his skills could be upgraded, his strength would increase exponentially.
"Can certain organs of the body, such as the eyes, nose, ears, or internal organs, also be upgraded?"
[Ding! Certain physical conditions must be met before upgrading specific organs.]
What if I want to upgrade my glasses?
[Ding! You need to reach 100 points in Constitution before you can upgrade your eyes.]
100 points?
That is, ten times the physical condition of an average person.
Not many.
Ling Yi expressed his anticipation for this.
It is now early winter here.
A gentle breeze blew by, making Ling Yi shiver.
This body is ultimately too weak.
Ling Yi went back to the stove and added some firewood.
Ensure the Huoyan inside the stove remains burning.
In such cold weather, if the fire goes out, the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) will quickly cool down.
Ling Yun's body has not yet recovered. If she were to catch a cold at this time, she could fall ill and her life could be in danger.
We don't have much firewood left at home.
Ling Yi remembered that other families in the village still had a lot of leftover firewood.
We can collect them later, which will save us a lot of trouble.
After adding fuel to the fire in the stove.
Ling Yi did not immediately gather the firewood.
Instead, they went back to the courtyard.
I assumed a standard horse stance.
Following a certain pattern, they began to breathe and exhale rhythmically.
This was a breathing Breathing Method he had learned from an old man in his previous life.
It was precisely because of this Wuming breathing Breathing Method that Ling Yi possessed Transcendent power.
He established a formidable reputation.
Decades of cultivation experience allowed Ling Yi to easily enter a state of breathing exercises.
Instantly, a warm current rose from her lower abdomen and slowly spread throughout her body.
After completing one cycle, it returns to the lower abdomen.
You open your eyes with delight.
"I never expected that I could complete a Small Zhou Tian so easily."
In his previous life, it took Ling Yi a full three years to finally develop a sense of Qi and control it, completing a Small Zhou Tian of Qi circulation.
Unexpectedly, after transmigrating, this new body completed the Small Zhou Tian so easily.
Is it because of the time travel, or because of the system?
Just then, a ding sounded in Ling Yi's mind.
[Ding, host has been detected practicing breathing exercises; this technique has been added to the skill list.]
Ling Yi opened the system interface.
Sure enough, the first skill appeared in the previously blank skill bar.
Wuming Cultivation Technique ( Proficiency )!
"Only at the Proficiency level? I never imagined that after decades of practice in my previous life, I was only barely at the Proficiency."
"Since this breathing technique can be recorded, can other skills also be recorded?"
Although Ling Yi's mission reward was simply to collect the skills from his previous life.
Ke Ling Yi always likes to take the lead.
Behind Little Ye Village lies a continuous mountain range.
In the original owner's memories, this mountain range was vast, so vast that no one seemed to know its end.
Normally, one can often see wild game such as Rabbit and mullet in the surrounding area.
But a year of drought followed.
In order to obtain food, the villagers had long since hunted down almost all the wild animals in the surrounding area.
To catch prey, one may have to go deeper.
However, this small body now lacks the strength of half an adult.
Even with a crossbow, going into the mountains is still quite dangerous.
Therefore, we must strive to be as strong as possible, however small.
"This body is too small; it's not suitable for practicing overly forceful Combat techniques. We must take the path of an agile assassin."
"First, speed; then, movement technique."
"For speed, train the Burst Step. It allows you to unleash extreme speed in a short time, making it a divine skill for both Combat and escape."
"For movement techniques, choose the Mystifying Steps."
"However, both the Burst Step and the Mystifying Steps require the support of Internal Breath."
"Forget it, let's record the Burst Step and the Mystifying Steps first."
Thinking of this, Ling Yi struck a strange pose.
The next moment, his calf muscles tensed, and the little bit of Internal Breath he had just cultivated in his Dantian was instantly depleted.
Ling Yi's small figure appeared as if by Teleportation, a meter away.
"Huff, huff!"
With just one step, Ling Yi felt himself becoming weak, and his breathing became somewhat rapid.
My legs are also a bit sore.
[Ding, the host has successfully mastered the Burst Step skill and it has been added to the skill list.]
"This body is too weak."
One breath, one step.
If danger arises, this level of strength is simply insufficient.
Ling Yi turned around, went back to the water vat inside the house, scooped up a mouthful of Spiritual Water with a broken bowl, and drank it.
A cool sensation instantly spread throughout my body.
The energy he had expended was restored almost instantly.
The soreness and swelling in my legs completely disappeared.
"I underestimated the effects of this Spiritual Water." Ling Yi didn't drink much.
If just one sip has such an effect, then drinking more would be a waste.
They returned to the courtyard.
Ling Yi began practicing the Wuming Cultivation Technique again.
This time, Ling Yi actually managed to circulate his Internal Breath, completing two Small Zhou Tian.
Only a quarter of an hour had passed.
Ling Yi let out a long breath and calmed his breathing.
Then, with his left foot forward and his right foot slightly raised, he slowly took his first step in an awkward posture.
Then comes the second step, the third step...
[Ding, the system has detected that the host has successfully mastered the Mystifying Steps Mystifying Steps skill and has added it to the skill list.]
