"Yes, my disciple has not forgotten to cultivate even after coming to the mortal realm. I am very pleased with you!"
Yu Ling's performance was commendable and she had already given him a lot of face. Su Wang, who was forced to feel gratified, could only say that he would let it go. Since he had just met his grand-disciple and was eating, he couldn't say much. So he could only vent his anger on his nephew Jiang Ying.
"And what about you?"
"Uh..." Faced with Su Wang's increasingly gloomy expression, Jiang Ying thought to herself that she was in trouble. She instinctively covered her stomach and said, "I, I have no appetite! Yes, no appetite. I don't feel like eating when I see this food!"
"You have to eat too! Otherwise, this whole table of food will be such a waste!"
"..." But weren't these all ordered by you, Uncle Su?
Jiang Ying was scolded and felt very aggrieved. She was worried that she was not managing her figure well enough, and she was also worried that Su Wang, who seemed easy to talk to, would really lose his temper and hurt her. So she simply gave up and did not explain. She gritted her teeth and picked up the bowl to eat.
Su Wang couldn't help but chuckle. This Jiang Ying was such a coward; his own disciple was much smarter. (Jiang Ying: Double standards!!!)
The first meal in the mortal world ended in such a strange atmosphere.
"Ahem, Master, since we're going to experience the mortal realm, why don't we split up? If anything happens, we can contact each other using our communication tokens." Yu Ling stepped forward first after Su Wang had finished his meal.
He really didn't want to waste any more time. It was already the second day since he transmigrated, and it was exhausting to force himself not to break through!
"Hmm? Are you alright alone in the mortal realm?" Su Wang was a little worried. This person didn't even spare cultivators from various sects, including his own sect. His reputation was divided into two extremes: either he was cruel or he was heartless. Wasn't he sure he wouldn't cause trouble if he acted on his own?
"Of course, with the competition just around the corner, Master will definitely take extra care of you, my grand-disciple. Jiang Ying and I are already at the Golden Core stage, so we don't need your protection."
Jiang Ying silently gave Yu Ling a thumbs up. What she said was right! He had been holding back from changing his clothes for a long time, and he had just broken his diet by eating. He absolutely couldn't stop exercising.
—Perhaps it was this obsession with body management that allowed him to develop a strength comparable to that of a physical cultivator, even in the process of losing weight and sculpting his body.
"Alright, then be careful." The first meal instantly turned into a farewell dinner, but Su Wang only felt that he hadn't arranged things well. He was a free spirit who didn't like to be restrained, so of course he didn't think there was anything wrong with Yu Ling's suggestion.
The two left happily. Jiang Ying originally planned to spend some time alone with Yu Ling, but unfortunately Yu Ling ran too fast, and he couldn't catch up with her without using magic.
"Sigh~ Never mind, I'll just go buy some clothes." Jiang Ying also had some gold and silver from the mortal world. Even though she used spirit stones after becoming a cultivator, money was still a good thing. So she happily changed direction and went for a stroll.
As soon as Yu Ling stepped out, she gave herself a makeover, taking off the conspicuous and luxurious outfit Su Wang had given her, buying some light and practical clothes, and getting a precious sword made of ordinary iron from the blacksmith's shop.
After changing her clothes and gear, it was time to manage her appearance. Yu Ling first let her hair down, then loosely tied it up again.
After all this, the aloof and ascetic demeanor of a chivalrous swordsman immediately became more three-dimensional and vivid.
In Tianwu City, which is divided into inner and outer cities, only in chaotic places is there a greater chance to break through one's ruthless Dao heart.
Yu Ling's movements clearly indicate that she is heading towards the outer city!
Upon seeing this, the system, though aware of its host's purpose, still couldn't quite believe that Yu Ling was about to act so quickly, and weakly asked: "Host, you're not really going to cripple yourself, are you?"
"Pah! What do you mean 'ruined'? That sounds awful! It means you're starting over with a new Dao heart, understand?"
Yu Ling, moved by this, spoke from the heart.
"Speaking of which, it's really not easy for the original owner to have made it all the way to the late Golden Core stage in the Path of Ruthlessness! But why would a perfectly normal human being, who is born with rich emotions, insist on practicing something like this?"
Who cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness?
The Heavenly Dao is one, as it must balance the entire world and naturally cannot have its own agenda. The rest are beings with the power of judgment, such as Yama, the Ghost King, and Immortal Venerables, or even cold-blooded animals and monsters formed from plants, trees, and stones.
Which of these people has an extraordinary background? While it's true that one can progress faster in the Path of Ruthlessness as long as they don't understand unnecessary emotions, their potential is really low if their background isn't suitable!
【Hmm, how about we buy the plot of this world and take a look?】 The system rubbed its paws. The host never buys plots, relying on finding the protagonist's weaknesses or the fortuitous encounters of some background big shots in the book to survive. It had almost forgotten about this thing.
"Did your previous hosts purchase any storylines?"
[…I bought it.]
"They've all successfully entered the Main God Space?"
【........No.】
Not only did they not survive, but these people couldn't even survive the scripted deaths. They rarely succeeded in their missions and almost all gave up on being survivors and chose to die.
The system, with its blockheaded mind, finally understood Yu Ling's words. Indeed, its host had relied on herself all the way, and rarely even used the shop. Buying a story item would probably be a waste of survival points.
Of course, these conversations, all taking place in his mind, did not delay his journey. With Yu Ling's deliberate search, he quickly arrived at the most chaotic street in Tianwu City. All sorts of shops that used to be able to buy anything with money had disappeared, and not even a single vendor could be found.
"I'll teach you a trick to clean up those unclean areas, system."
Yu Lingdao,
“Look around here, there are no shops selling rice, flour, oil, or vegetables, no restaurants, barbershops, or schools, and it’s not a village or residential area, but people are still coming and going on the street, walking in a hurry.”
That means there must be a problem here.
After Yu Ling finished speaking, she looked around again, turned around and went into the small door with the fewest people, and slipped some silver to the two guards at the door.
As soon as you enter, the situation inside makes it clear what kind of place this is.
For example, even a beggar could become a millionaire in an instant if he's lucky.
[Really, the host is so smart!]
The system looked around with curiosity and found that it didn't know any of these games. They must be unique to this world. It couldn't help, so it could only watch helplessly as Yu Ling walked towards the largest table.
The beautiful maids around her were all dressed like fairies. Some of the maids who were not with anyone spotted Yu Ling at a glance, but she was still snatched away by this girl in an orange dress.
"Hey, a new face! You must be from outside the city, buddy."
She looks bright and flamboyant, making it easy for people to like her. But unfortunately, she encountered the ruthless version of Yu Ling and could only get a cold face as cold as frost.
