Chapter 1 Error! The system is under attack! *Buzz... Rebooting...*
Chapter 1
"When can I begin formal cultivation?!"
In the bamboo and stone forest, on the stone steps, a cultivator dressed in a light blue disciple's robe roared angrily.
Apart from a few startled birds taking flight, she received no response.
Shi Liuying sighed helplessly, spread herself out, and slid down from the top step to the bottom, one step at a time.
Three months ago, when she joined the Myriad Manifestations Sect, she was overjoyed, feeling that her future was bright.
The Myriad Manifestations Sect is the largest sect in the cultivation world.
Her master, Xuanji Daozun, was a well-known expert in the cultivation world.
This sect is full of rare and precious treasures. Even though she has just arrived at the sect and has not made any contributions yet, she still receives a generous monthly allowance.
But! It's been three months already, and she still doesn't know what her master looks like.
According to the servants, Daoist Xuanji is in seclusion with his junior sister.
Yes, junior sister. Even though she joined the sect late, she still had to call Su Wan junior sister.
This is a rule set by our master: within the sect, there can only be one youngest junior sister.
This is a very strange rule.
Shi Liuying didn't understand, but she respected her. She looked up at the sky speechlessly, a faint hint of death in her eyes.
Alright, junior sister must have extraordinary talent, so it's only natural that she receives guidance from her master day and night.
But why does Elder Chongcang, who is also her mentor, refuse to see her?
Is she some kind of stupid and ugly thing?
Three months of neglect was enough to wear down Shi Liuying's expectations of the sect, but her desire to cultivate remained undiminished.
Shi Liuying let herself air out for a while, and the sweat on her body dried up to about half of it.
Is it really that difficult for her to draw in Qi? Is she truly a genius? Could the elder who guided her into the sect have been lying to her?
No one taught her; she didn't even know the most basic spells.
"I want to cultivate immortality—!!"
Shi Liuying shouted.
A seductive voice quietly drifted over: "Do you want to cultivate immortality?"
Shi Liuying instinctively answered, "Yes!"
Turning his head, he saw a fellow disciple, also dressed in disciple's robes, winking and making faces at him.
He wasn't ugly, in fact, his looks were above average, but the lewd glint in his eyes made it impossible for anyone to feel any affection for him.
Shi Liuying looked at him warily: "Who are you?"
"Junior sister, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I am Jiang Yuliu, an outer disciple. You can call me Senior Brother Yuliu."
Shi Liuying carefully examined him; his light blue disciple robes confirmed that he was indeed an outer disciple of the Myriad Manifestations Sect.
Since they were from the same clan, she lowered her guard by half.
"Is there something you need?"
"This place is the bamboo forest at the boundary between the inner and outer sects. I happened to pass by here and heard my junior sister's painful cries. I thought I would come and see if she needed any help."
"I have been in the Myriad Manifestations Sect for a hundred years and have extensive knowledge. If you have any questions, I can answer them for you!"
At this moment, Shi Liuying was indeed as confused as a headless fly: "I want to cultivate, but my master is in seclusion. I want to learn magic from Elder Chongcang, but I can't find him even after going to his residence. Do you know where to look for him?"
Jiang Yuliu's eyes lit up: "So your mentor elder is Chong Cang. He is indeed an elder with mysterious whereabouts."
Seeing the disappointment in Shi Liuying's eyes, Jiang Yuliu changed the subject again: "But there's nothing I don't know about the Myriad Manifestations Sect. You can find him in the small wooden house in the Myriad Stone Forest on Tianji Peak."
I never expected that I could actually find out where Elder Chongcang was!
Shi Liuying clasped her hands in gratitude and said, "Thank you very much, Senior Brother!"
Jiang Yuliu waved his hand: "Hey, we're all from the same sect, we're family, no need for formalities."
"However..." He changed the subject again, and Shi Liuying's heart, which had just settled, was once again in suspense.
"But what?"
"But even if you know where Elder Chongcang is, you might not be able to see him."
Shi Liuying was like a withered little grass.
Senior brother is right. Over the past three months, she has tried countless times to find Elder Chongcang at his residence, but he was mostly not there. Even when she was lucky enough to run into him in the courtyard, he ignored her calls.
She seemed like something terrifying, which startled the elder, who paused for a moment before rushing into the room and slamming the door shut.
This was also a very strange elder.
“But!” Jiang Yuliu changed the subject again.
Shi Liuying's heart was truly tormented by Jiang Yuliu's panting way of speaking, but she still politely asked, "Senior brother, do you have a solution?"
Jiang Yuliu put his hands behind his back and said, "Of course, as long as you look like Mu and give Elder Chongcang some things, you can see him."
Shi Liuying hesitated, her eyebrows furrowing: "This isn't good, isn't this just..."
Isn't it just bribery in the human world?
Elder Chongcang is neither a corrupt official nor an evil or unruly person.
Jiang Yuliu clicked his tongue: "Just tell me, do you want to cultivate or not!"
Shi Liuying instinctively said, "I want to cultivate."
Jiang Yuliu raised his voice: "Do you want to establish your foundation?"
Shi Liuying raised her voice: "I want to establish my foundation!"
Jiang Yuliu further encouraged, "Tell me loudly, do you want to improve!"
Shi Liuying's eyes were as determined as if she were joining the Party: "I really want to improve myself!!"
Jiang Yuliu clapped his hands: "Great, that's very inspiring. Let's go to Tianji Peak in the inner sect to find Elder Chongcang."
Shi Liuying was greatly encouraged: "Great!"
Jiang Yuliu held up two fingers, revealing a paper crane between them, and casually said, "Please give this paper crane to Senior Sister Rong Yan for me."
Shi Liuying: ?
Jiang Yuliu looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and said melancholically, "You know, we outer disciples are not allowed to freely enter and leave the inner sect. But how can my feelings for Senior Sister Rong Yan be severed by a mere door!"
Shi Liuying understands: Rong Yan's admirer.
She had heard of the ghost cultivator Rong Yan's great name before she entered the sect.
She possessed stunning beauty and captivating charm. Everyone who saw her fell at her feet. In fact, some disciples from other sects surrendered without a fight during sect competitions.
But what impressed Shi Liuying most was her identity as a ghost cultivator.
I've heard that the path of ghost cultivators is more difficult than that of sword cultivators or alchemists, and there are very few ghost cultivators in the cultivation world.
Senior Sister Rong Yan is so powerful that she is admired by everyone. How could it be just because of her appearance?
"Alright, I'll help you get Rong Yan's suitor in. If I don't manage to meet her or get him out, don't be sad."
Jiang Yuliu clicked his tongue again, somewhat dissatisfied: "What suitors? How could my relationship with Rong Yan be known to outsiders?"
He spoke mysteriously, his eyes gleaming with excitement, and whispered, "I'm inviting Rong Yan to...cultivate together."
He emphasized the word "cultivation," even adding a tilde to the end of the syllable, making it both subtle and ambiguous.
But Shi Liuying, who was only eighteen years old and inexperienced in the ways of the world, naturally couldn't understand these things.
"Can you take me with you when you're cultivating?" Shi Liuying raised her hand.
"Want to come along?" Jiang Yuliu looked Shi Liuying up and down; her flat figure didn't interest him at all.
But at this point, he still needs to use Shi Liuying to achieve his own goals.
Moreover... Jiang Yu revealed a lewd smile. There's nothing wrong with the two of them being fellow disciples.
"Alright, if you can help me deliver this note to Rong Yan, I'll take you with me to cultivate." He said reluctantly.
Shi Liuying nodded: "I will bring it, but if Senior Sister is unwilling to cultivate with you, we cannot force her."
Jiang Yuliu smiled confidently: "As long as you deliver the paper crane to her, she will definitely come."
After saying this, Jiang Yuliu also felt strange, wondering where his confidence came from.
Oh well, whatever, the duck will be cooked soon and I'll be able to eat it right away!
"Waiting for your good news!" Jiang Yuliu waved excitedly.
Shi Liuying looked at the strange Jiang Yuliu, unable to understand why he was so ordinary yet so confident.
Could Rong Yan, a core disciple of the Myriad Manifestations Sect and a renowned ghost cultivator throughout the cultivation world, really cultivate alongside an outer disciple?
But since this person had told her how to find Elder Chongcang, she should reciprocate by sending the paper crane.
As for whether Senior Sister Rongyan is willing to come, that's her business; the principle is in her hands.
—
Senior Sister Rong Yan also lives on Tianji Peak.
Tianji Peak is vast and shrouded in mist. Shi Liuying, who has not yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage, walked for a long time in the mountain and was panting heavily.
Around sunset, Shi Liuying stood in front of Fusheng Pavilion, filled with amazement.
Rong Yan's residence is not located in a physical place, but is suspended above a persistent spiritual mist, connected by a semi-transparent staircase. The further the sun sinks, the clearer the staircase becomes.
The attic didn't look big, but it was built of transparent crystals and pale spirit wood of unknown material, and it looked like a dream under the setting sun.
Shi Liuying thought about her own small wooden cabin, which could only fit a bed, and touched the transparent wall with some envy.
Before Shi Liuying's hand could even touch the wall, it was violently swatted away by a burst of spiritual energy.
"Don't touch it."
The voice was fierce, yet possessed an innate allure, languid and casual.
The voice came from behind her. Shi Liuying turned around abruptly and saw a slender and tall woman standing there.
She wore a long, moon-white dress that trailed on the ground, her black hair reaching her waist, and she loosely tied it into a bun with a red plum blossom hairpin.
She stood there like a piece of cold jade, inexplicably making people afraid to approach her. Her deep gray eyes held aloofness, yet the corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, with a small red mole at the corner of her right eye, like a small hook, which immediately captivated the heart.
Shi Liuying suddenly realized that if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have been able to detect her presence.
Silent and still, only her lips and the plum blossom on her head were red.
As expected of a ghost cultivator, he truly resembles a ghost.
Shi Liuying carefully took two steps back. She really didn't know where those people who said she was charming and alluring were looking. Her senior sister was clearly extremely indifferent.
"A female disciple? The new junior sister, Shi Liuying?"
Shi Liuying wiped her sweat and nodded vigorously: "It's me."
"What do you want with me?"
For some reason, Shi Liuying felt that Senior Sister Rong Yan's tone had suddenly become much better.
"It's this. An outer disciple asked me to give a paper crane to my senior sister."
The moment Shi Liuying took out the paper crane, it flew out irresistibly, flew to Rong Yan's front, and tore itself apart.
The white paper was turned away from Shi Liuying, and only Rong Yan, who was standing opposite her, could see the contents of the paper.
Quite inexplicably, Shi Liuying felt that her senior sister's already pale face became even paler after seeing the paper.
"Senior sister, are you alright?" Shi Liuying looked at Rong Yan with concern.
"It's nothing!" Rong Yan replied quickly, her voice laced with resentment.
Shi Liuying was completely baffled. Where did her senior sister's anger come from? She hadn't offended her senior sister.
Rong Yan lowered her eyes, recalling the task that the system had announced three days ago:
[Ding—The host is about to arrive at a key plot point: the Desolate Forest.]
Task assignment: Partner sport.
Task Description: You passed through the Desolate Forest and found Jiang Yuliu, an outer disciple, unconscious in a pile of dead leaves in the southwest corner of the forest. He made a mistake in his cultivation, and his yang energy is too hot. You need to approach him and use the "mouth" to guide him to complete the first chapter of the "mouth secret manual".
Your actions include, but are not limited to: □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□.
Mission complete 100%: Technique "□□□□" unlocked level 1.
Mission completion rate: 1% to 99%: different levels of lightning strikes.
Mission complete 0%: Host dies.
At this moment, Rong Yan looked at Shi Liuying with lifeless eyes and resignedly.
In her eyes, this wasn't a new junior sister, but rather an NPC controlled by a mission.
Her attempt to evade the system failed once again. Over the years, she had never succeeded in her resistance against the system.
Rong Yan waited for the system notification sound with a heart full of despair.
As is customary, the system will repeat the task at the moment it begins.
The weathered Rong Yan has been trained, and her wise eyes have seen through everything. This paper crane is the sign that the mission has begun.
【bite--】
Rong Yan closed her eyes. Here it comes, the dreaded task is here.
[Host detected to be... sizzling... sizzling sound...]
[Error! Error! The system is under attack! Regenerating tasks for the host... *buzzing*!]
Rong Yan opened her eyes, her aloof and indifferent deep gray pupils revealing two large question marks.
what happens? ?
A note from the author:
----------------------
Please add "After My Stable Madness, the Demon Lord Came to Seduc Me" to your favorites.
Lin Shuyin, a corporate slave, worked 007 every day and eventually died suddenly at her workstation. When she died, her resentment was stronger than that of a ghost.
After transmigrating into the book, she was bound to a redemption system.
The system pointed at the gloomy demon: "Tolerate him, please him, give him love and light, and turn him into a sunny and cheerful big boy."
Lin Shuyin, with her pretty and adorable face, pulled out a sledgehammer from behind her back and smashed the table in front of the Demon Lord to pieces. She roared at the system, "Do you see any light in my eyes?!"
The Demon Lord, caught in the crossfire, trembled in the eye, subtly shrinking back and clutching his sleeves in fear.
-
Rumor has it that the Demon Lord Mo Qian is ruthless, kills without hesitation, and eats the flesh of immortals and drinks the blood of gods.
Demon Servant: It's fake, debunking the rumor. The previous Demon Lord traveled the world with his wife, and this Demon Lord was appointed to the position in a time of crisis. Rumor has it that he bought everything with his own money, and he doesn't even dare to kill a fish.
-
Every time Lin Shuyin went crazy, Mo Qian could hear a voice called "System".
For example, this time, the system said: Stroking the Demon Lord's head, tell him that you like him.
When he saw Lin Shuyin continuing her madness, swinging a sledgehammer to smash his head and yelling "None of you will live!", Mo Qian hurriedly pressed Lin Shuyin's head down, a thin blush spreading across his handsome face: "I like you."
