It Was Cheating, but Only a Little, and a Little Cheating Didn't Count as Cheating, so It Wasn't Cheating at All

Five Continents Domain, Mountain and Sea Village.

"It's been a while since I've been here; this little village has changed quite a bit."

Lu Changzhi landed on the village, his gaze swept over it, and he said softly.

The words had barely left his mouth.

Suddenly a figure flashed by and said:

"The pavilion..."

The words had barely left his mouth when he paused, then, with a hint of surprise, said:

"Young master, please."

Lu Changzhi looked over.

Then he saw Huang Pi looking at him with a flattering smile.

Lu Changzhi nodded and said:

"Has anything happened during this time?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Pi shook his head:

"Nothing serious, just some minor issues."

After briefly mentioning it, Huang Pi added:

"This village is far from any powerful forces, and most of the time it's peaceful."

Lu Changzhi nodded and tossed a storage ring to Huang Pi.

Huang Pi took it and subconsciously explored its interior.

The next moment, his eyes widened suddenly, and his face showed a deep sense of disbelief.

The storage ring that the other party casually tossed over contained items of unimaginable value...

"Young master, this is so inappropriate..."

Just as Huang Pi was about to say something, he noticed that Lu Changzhi had already disappeared.

He took a deep breath, looked at the village, and his eyes were full of fervor.

Let this village be protected for another eight hundred years!

Inside the village.

There was a courtyard with a sizable open space where some vegetables and fruits were currently growing.

The courtyard was spotless and clean.

Jin Fugui was holding a hoe and making a ridge in a cleared area.

How have you been feeling lately?

Lu Changzhi's voice rang out.

Jin Fugui was slightly taken aback. After realizing what was happening, he stopped what he was doing, put down his work, and bowed to Lu Changzhi.

"Fugui greets Master."

Lu Changzhi smiled and waved:

"Tell me your feelings?"

Jin Fugui's appearance hasn't changed much since he first came to Mountain and Sea Village.

But the feeling she gave off was somewhat different from before; she seemed more poised and relaxed.

At the same time, Jin Fugui gave him a more honest impression.

Or to be more precise, it's a feeling of being somewhat uncompetitive and unassuming, and unlikely to clash with the outside world.

"Reporting to Master, I have come to understand many truths during this time."

Jin Fugui brought over a rattan chair and then shared his thoughts and experiences from this period of time.

"Good."

Lu Changzhi nodded:

If you gain something from this trip, then it won't have been in vain.

Although at the beginning of this trip, it was just to make do with the time.

However, Jin Fugui's ability to calmly adjust his mindset through his life here can be considered an unexpected gain.

"Master, have you come because you've already left in Fugui?"

Jin Fugui suddenly spoke up and asked.

"Almost."

Lu Changzhi nodded:

"But there's no rush. I'll stay here for two or three days."

Jin Fugui nodded:

"Then, Master, if you need anything, please call me anytime."

After a brief chat, Jin Fugui continued working on the ridges.

Lu Changzhi watched Jingjing, then, with a thought, his mind swept over everyone in the village.

"In just three months, the villagers' physical condition and overall health have changed significantly, which should also be attributed to Jin Fugui's talent."

Jin Fugui's talent is now far beyond what it used to be. Three months is enough time for the ordinary people in Mountain and Sea Village to make a great fortune.

"I wonder what kind of system Jin Fugui will obtain after this trial."

Lu Changzhi murmured to himself, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

After all, the general trend has always been that the later a system is developed, the stronger its capabilities become.

Although Qin Li's system doesn't seem as practical as Zhong Ming's, that's only because Qin Li is currently confined to the small territory of the Five Continents Domain.

Let alone sacred beasts, even Black Dragon of that level is not considered ordinary.

He estimated that if he could gather all four sacred beasts, Qin Li's system would definitely be among the best, given the boost and influence they would bring.

Even if he doesn't surpass all systems except his own, he's at least much stronger than Gu Chen and Mu Fan.

"Speaking of which, the gap between these two systems is indeed widening."

Thinking about the situation of the two systems, Lu Changzhi gently shook his head.

Mu Fan's Idle System, while seemingly comfortable, has also been enhanced.

But ultimately, I just kept the game running in the background.

Although no cultivation is required, the time consumed is still considerable.

Although it's fun to just leave the game running, at the current rate, he estimated that by the time Zhong Ming finished having his fun, Mu Fan probably wouldn't even be able to start.

Although Gu Chen's Sign-In System is somewhat powerful, the main rewards are in terms of resources.

While there's nothing wrong with that, looking at the resources Gu Chen obtained through the Sign-In System over the past month...

Some of them are even inferior to what the group of powerful figures who previously seized the Canglan Domain obtained.

It's open, but only slightly.

But "small opening" doesn't count as "opening".

"However, I seem to recall the system making some promises about this before, but it didn't seem to go into much detail."

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment, but couldn't come up with any more detailed information.

He remembered that the system had initially said that once its own system was upgraded, it would also be able to make some modifications to the characteristics of the disciple's system.

Otherwise, if we simply upgrade their systems as before, no matter how much we upgrade, the characteristics will remain the same; the only difference will be the speed.

Modifying the characteristics can create the possibility of generating new paths.

"I'll stop thinking about it now, it'll be soon anyway."

Gathering his thoughts, Lu Changzhi entered a meditative state.

He sealed off the surrounding space, and then a thought struck him.

A resource vessel obtained from the previous Longevity Battlefield appeared in front of Lu Changzhi.

Within the sea of consciousness, the Seed of Chaos pulsed slightly.

Lu Changzhi sensed something, smiled slightly, and separated a wisp of his mind to try to guide these powers into the Seed of Chaos.

Time passed little by little.

Soon, the power of the entire vessel entered Lu Changzhi's body.

To be more precise, it's within the Seed of Chaos within the body.

"It does have some use, but its usefulness seems rather small."

Lu Changzhi stopped sensing and gently shook his head.

"I originally thought it would directly catalyze a significant change in this Seed of Chaos, but it's only showing a small initial momentum. It really gives the feeling of a bottomless pit."

"But this stuff is indeed quite effective. I wonder if there are any other ways to get it. Perhaps we could ask Xiao Qian."

Upon realizing this, Lu Changzhi memorized it.

After all, if so many of them are placed there at once, and they're intended for use in the lower realms, they probably aren't very valuable.
