Keeping My Promise, I Really Want to Get Ahead

The Immortal Cuisine House of Xian Shi Ju are filled with the gentle fragrance of sandalwood.

Liu Yi and Qian Duoduo, separated for more than a decade, now sat facing each other, the spirit wine clear and the Spirit Cuisine fragrant.

As they clinked glasses, the two recounted their respective experiences.

When Liu Yi talked about his past experiences, he was frank but subtly reserved.

He has always kept his secret about being the master of the system and the creator of the Dao Seed Martial Dao Cultivation System.

Even though I have a close relationship with Qian Duoduo, this matter is of great importance, and the fewer people who know about it, the lower the risk.

If it weren't for Little Yellow's lifelong following and his inability to avoid it when creating the system, he wouldn't have wanted to let him know even a little bit.

Afterwards, he planned to deduce a sealing restriction to seal Little Yellow's memory.

It can prevent its secrets from being revealed to outsiders, prevent soul-searching, and at the same time, it will not affect the integrity of its memories.

Qian Duoduo finished the spirit wine in his cup, shook his head and sighed softly:

"Cultivation is a ruthless path; those who don't keep up will be eliminated. I know my talent is mediocre, and without sufficient resources, I'm afraid I'll have little chance of making progress."

Even if one is fortunate enough to cultivate to the Golden Core Realm, breaking through to the Nascent Soul is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"In order to obtain Cultivation Resources, I relied on my business acumen to obtain the position of shopkeeper in the Empyrean Immortal Cultivation Market of the Heavenly Revelation Sect."

Although the daily tasks are numerous and complicated, the other benefits are quite considerable.

"Following the natural order leads to mediocrity, defying it leads to immortality. Cultivation is inherently going against the will of Heaven. To succeed, one must go mad. Without madness, one dares not take the plunge, and there will be no way out." Liu Yi sighed in agreement.

He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Old Qian, I have a great fortuitous opportunity here, perfect for you."

As he spoke, he handed over the System Seed.

Qian Duoduo was full of curiosity, but without asking any questions, she took the System Seed and bound it directly.

Seeing Qian Duoduo's decisive action, Liu Yi smiled with relief. After more than ten years apart, the other party's trust in him had not diminished in the slightest.

Now that I have the ability, I can lend my brother a hand.

Not long after, Qian Duoduo looked shocked, her mouth agape, and she couldn't help but exclaim:

"My goodness! This Fairness System is simply incredible! How can such a miraculous thing exist in this world?"

"Is the Dao Comprehension Space really that powerful? Storage Space can be used just by spending Energy Points?"

"The System Store has so many cultivation manuals? And there's Microchat, TikTok, and a forum—it allows you to chat anytime, anywhere, regardless of distance! That's outrageous!"

Liu Yi wasn't surprised by Qian Duoduo's shocked expression.

After all, the system's current functions are truly incredible; anyone who sees them would be shocked, including himself.

Because he never dared to believe he could create such a powerful system.

He ate the Spirit Cuisine slowly while quietly waiting for Qian Duoduo to figure out the system's functions.

Suddenly, Qian Duoduo exclaimed loudly, "Wow! No wonder the sect's 100,000 outer disciples have been cultivating at such a rapid pace—it's all thanks to the system!"

"Those old foxes, they've kept it well hidden! With so many people around, they didn't let a single word slip!"

"Energy Points are just too hard to earn, I'm so poor, I'm dying of poverty! Otherwise, I would have tried every single function of the system!"

Qian Duoduo turned around, her face full of gratitude. "Brother Yi, if it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have gotten a system."

Those people in the cultivation Immortal Realm are incredibly tight-lipped; not a single word leaked out!

Liu Yi smiled and said, "No need for formalities. Systems are becoming widespread in the mortal realm, so it's only a matter of time before you use one. Come on, let's add each other on Microchat so we can keep in touch."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two added each other as friends.

Subsequently, Liu Yi directly transferred 1 billion Energy Points to Qian Duoduo.

While 1 billion units of energy may seem like a lot, it's just a drop in the ocean for him now, and he can earn it back in no time.

But Qian Duoduo excitedly rushed over and hugged Liu Yi's leg:

Grandpa! You're my real grandpa!

I desperately want to improve!

Liu Yi stood frozen in place, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Qian Duoduo is still the same Qian Duoduo, unchanged for over a decade, still as shameless as ever.

"Old Qian, let go! Let's talk this out!"

Qian Duoduo chuckled and let go, but was inwardly shocked.

Having just bound himself to the system and browsed the forums and TikTok), he knew all too well how precious Energy Points were.

"Brother Yi, you've really struck it rich now! But I really can't accept so many Energy Points, they're too valuable!"

Liu Yi waved his hand casually, "Back when I was down on my luck, you helped me a lot, and I still owe you over 100 Spirit Stone stones."

"I told you long ago that I would definitely pay you back when I became successful. Consider this 1 billion Energy Points as fulfilling that promise. Don't refuse; this amount of Energy Points is just a drop in the ocean for me."

Qian Duoduo's expression instantly turned serious, and she said gratefully:

"Brother Yi, I'll remember this favor! I'm indeed short on Energy Points right now, so I'll shamelessly accept it. If you ever need my help, just let me know!"

Little Yellow, who was quietly eating Spirit Cuisine in the corner, suddenly widened his eyes when he saw Qian Duoduo rush over and hug Liu Yi's leg without hesitation, shouting "Grandpa" at the top of his lungs.

It was so astonished that its jaw almost dropped to the ground, looking as if its worldview had been shattered and it had discovered a new continent.

Qian Duoduo noticed Little Yellow's surprised expression and chuckled awkwardly twice.

"Brother Yi, your spirit pet looks pretty dull. Come on, call him Brother Qian."

"You're the idiot, your whole family is idiot."

Little Yellow tilted his head and retorted without holding back, "I've never seen anyone as shameless as you. I've certainly learned something new today. But you're actually quite interesting."

Qian Duoduo was momentarily embarrassed, but quickly recovered and explained:

"I was just joking with Brother Yi, don't take it to heart."

By the way, do you have a system? Let's add each other on Microchat so we can contact each other more easily in the future.

After saying that, Qian Duoduo and Little Yellow added each other on Microchat.

Liu Yi frowned slightly as he watched Little Yellow and Qian Duoduo successfully add each other on Microchat.

With this person and dog together, are they going to cause some trouble?

A sense of unease welled up in his heart.

But soon, he shook his head, rejecting his own idea.

Although these two guys seem unreliable most of the time, they can actually be dependable when it really matters.

"Old Qian, you know your own aptitude with Three Spirit Root isn't top-tier in the path of cultivation."

"I suggest you switch to the Dao Seed Martial Dao Cultivation System. Although it's only perfected up to the Dao Seed Realm at present, its potential is limitless, and it might be more suitable for you."

"I appreciate Brother Yi's kindness." Qian Duoduo pondered for a moment and gently shook her head.

"Cultivating immortality has been my dream since childhood, and I'm currently inner disciple the Heavenly Revelation Sect, also managing a shop, so switching to cultivation would be really inconvenient."

"Now that I have the system, plus the Energy Points you gave me, I refuse to believe I'll be worse than others on the path of cultivation!"

Hearing this, Liu Yi nodded in agreement, saying, "What you said makes sense. As long as you have enough Energy Points, you can make great strides in cultivation."

After saying that, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he began to make plans in his mind.

The method for Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root has been nearly perfected. Once I break through to the next realm, I can begin to attempt its creation.

If it really succeeds, Qian Duoduo's talent for cultivating immortality will be completely transformed.

At that time, everyone in the cultivation Immortal Realm will be able to possess Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root, and everyone will be a cultivation genius.

Those who rely on their innate Heavenly Spirit Root to become powerful will fall from their lofty positions as the chosen ones of heaven, and then there will be a good show to watch.

Qian Duoduo suddenly slapped his forehead. "I almost forgot! The Empyrean Auction starting tonight, and there are quite a few treasures inside!"

"I happen to have an extra entry ticket. Do you want to come along and join the fun? Maybe we'll find something we need!"

"I only have 99 Low-Grade Spirit Stone left in my pocket, and the auction doesn't accept Energy Points. I'll just be staring blankly inside, but at least I can broaden my horizons."

Liu Yi openly spread his hands, making no attempt to hide his financial straits.

Back when he was in the Heavenly Revelation Sect, he was so poor he was practically urinating blood. Now, having 99 Low-Grade Spirit Stone is considered quite wealthy.

Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo waved his hand generously, his face beaming with magnanimity. "I still have 1000 Low-Grade Spirit Stone here, I'll give them to you for free!"

Liu Yi quickly shook his head and declined, "I appreciate your kindness! I don't really have anything I urgently need to buy right now, but I can go and take a look, just to broaden my horizons."
