Wen Ziqian Whose Worldview Has Shattered
Wen Ziqian took the System Seed, and after hesitating for a moment, he still agreed to bind.
In an instant, the system interface suddenly manifested in his mind, and he widened his eyes, his entire face filled with disbelief.
When seeing Microchat and the forum inside the system, he could no longer suppress the shock in his heart, exclaiming aloud:
"How can such a thing exist?"
"Too incredible!"
"It can actually span infinite distances and connect everyone together!"
"This must be the creation of an immortal, how magical!"
Wen Ziqian scrolled through the forum for quite a while before reluctantly exiting to study other functions.
When the densely packed secret manuals in the store appeared before his eyes, he could not help gasping in amazement again and again:
"This Dao Seed Martial Dao Cultivation System is simply too strong! Cultivating to the Dao Seed Realm can actually yield a five-hundred-year lifespan, and even the most basic Body Tempering Foundation Establishment Method is incredibly fierce."
"Compared to these, the Shennong Sect's Cultivation Method falls far too short!"
At this, he also completely understood the strange phenomena that had appeared in Changling County.
Watching their master's face full of astonishment and incessant praise, Zhou Yu'an and Shen Zhixia felt their hearts itch as well, their eyes full of anticipation:
"Can we also possess the system?"
"Of course you can!"
A flash of light crossed Wang Tie's palm, and a system seed bearing mysterious patterns appeared in his hand. "As long as you can gain the system's recognition, everyone can bind."
After binding the system, Zhou Yu'an and Shen Zhixia instantly understood why their master, who had seen grand scenes, could not help exclaiming.
The two of them reacted even more exaggeratedly than their master, widening their eyes with expressions of absolute disbelief.
"Oh heavens, this system is too magical! In the future, without stepping out the door, we can know the affairs of the world!"
"And there are so many divine cultivation manuals in the store, I want them so badly."
Seeing the shocked appearance of the three, Wang Tie was not surprised at all.
After all, the system's functions truly exceeded imagination, and everyone who first contacted the system would be shocked.
Come to think of it, when he himself first bound the system back then, his performance was even more exaggerated than the three before him.
"I want it!"
Wen Ziqian swallowed his saliva, staring fixedly at the divine cultivation manuals in the store.
Any random cultivation method from among these, if it appeared in the jianghu, could spark a bloody storm.
Let alone that these cultivation methods could completely rival immortal-cultivating cultivation methods, and moreover required no immortal-cultivation aptitudes.
At a single glance, he took a fancy to the Azure Wood Eternal Spring Art, which was a cultivation method of the Dao Seed Martial Dao Cultivation System and could currently cultivate up to the Dao Seed Realm.
The most important thing was that this cultivation method was extremely compatible with the Shennong Sect cultivation method he practiced, as both primarily cultivated the Wood Element direction.
However, wanting to exchange for it required consuming Energy Points, yet currently he did not have a single Energy Point.
After researching for a while and figuring out how Energy Points were acquired,
Wen Ziqian sold all the cultivation methods he knew to the system store without the slightest hesitation, keeping only those of the Shennong Sect's inheritance, in exchange for Energy Points.
Even the knowledge of herb cultivation he had summarized was sold along with them.
If not for retaining a final shred of sanity, Wen Ziqian almost wanted to sell the Shennong Sect's inherited cultivation methods as well.
The Shennong Sect's inherited cultivation methods, although considered first-rate in the jianghu,
were simply not worth mentioning compared to the cultivation methods in the store, utterly incomparable.
They might even fail to compare to the most basic Body Tempering Foundation Establishment Method.
Although this Body Tempering Foundation Establishment Method sounded very ordinary in name, and its content was merely a foundation establishment cultivation method, it was actually not ordinary at all.
It could allow a person to break directly through to the Innate Realm, and moreover be an Innate Realm of both internal and external cultivation.
Just this Innate Realm strength could probably match the current grandmaster cultivation in the jianghu.
He also finally understood why he was clearly at the Grandmaster Realm yet could not surpass Wang Tie at the Innate Realm.
He successfully exchanged for one hundred thirty thousand Energy Points, and after using these Energy Points to purchase the first three realms of cultivation methods of the Azure Wood Eternal Spring Art, only twenty thousand Energy Points remained.
Wanting to purchase the Dao Seed Realm cultivation method still lacked one hundred thousand Energy Points.
Poor!
Truly too poor!
Wen Ziqian had grown up in the Shennong Sect and now had even become an elder of the Shennong Sect; previously he had never experienced the taste of lacking money, and this was the very first time.
He also finally understood why so many wealthy merchants were acquiring Energy Points at high prices.
Energy Points were truly too scarce.
Although the system could slowly generate Energy Points, that speed was far too slow.
He did not know how long he would have to wait to accumulate enough Energy Points to purchase the cultivation method.
If someone else redeemed a Cultivation Method and started practicing first, wouldn't I fall behind?
Who in the martial world didn't want to be the best? Who didn't want to make a name for themselves?
After Wen Ziqian exited the system, he steadied himself and looked at Zhou Yu'an and Shen Zhixia, who had also bound themselves to the system. He said seriously:
"I've decided to stay in Changling County and study how to improve rice seeds. I'll try to complete the system's grain-seed improvement task and earn more Energy Points."
Zhou Yu'an immediately nodded in agreement. "Master is right! Our Shennong Sect excels at farming, so we have a huge advantage."
"If we can cultivate high-quality grain seeds, we'll definitely get plenty of Energy Points as a reward."
"And the rewards aren't just for once. As long as we keep improving them, we can keep earning more!"
Shen Zhixia chimed in with a complaint, too. "Exactly. We're so poor right now that we can't afford a single one of the secret manuals in the shop. We have to hurry and earn Energy Points!"
This wasn't an isolated case. In every place covered by the system, the same scenes kept playing out.
At that moment, major news swept through Jiangling Prefecture City.
Bai Shuyan, ranked tenth among Jiangling Prefecture's Ten Young Experts, was actually going to challenge Gu Fei, who held the top spot.
The news spread through the entire city in an instant, like a clap of thunder.
At that moment, a dense crowd packed around the martial arts arena. Every last person craned their neck to size up Bai Shuyan and Gu Fei.
They began speculating about who would win, talking over one another.
The city's gambling houses were even livelier, and quickly set the odds.
"Isn't this just free money? I'm betting 100 taels on Gu Fei!"
"Exactly! Bai Shuyan lost to Gu Fei just a few months ago. How much could he have improved in such a short time?"
"Bai Shuyan doesn't stand a chance. Gu Fei's family-inherited Profound Ice Cold Night Saber is incredibly powerful. What could Bai Shuyan possibly use to win?"
"Then I'll bet on Bai Shuyan. What if he had some fortuitous encounter and his strength suddenly soared? I'd make a fortune!"
Gu Fei looked at Bai Shuyan in confusion, then broke into a confident smile.
"You lost to me just a few months ago, and you're challenging me again already?"
"Why bother? You can't possibly beat me. Among Jiangling Prefecture's younger generation, I'm invincible."
Bai Shuyan smiled, too, his face brimming with confidence. "Who dares call himself invincible? Who dares claim he can never be defeated?"
"Invincible just means you're too confident. You can't be defeated only because you haven't met a true expert. Today, I'll hand you your first defeat."
Gu Fei gave a cold laugh. "I don't know where you got that confidence. But don't forget, we're both at the Innate Realm Middle Stage now. At the same cultivation level, you can't beat me."
"Oh, is that so?" Bai Shuyan raised an eyebrow. "Perfect. I want to put that to the test. Let's settle this with our hands!"
