Chapter 1 Professional Matching
Spring warms up and the frost melts, and all things begin to come to life.
At the foot of the rolling green hills is a crowd of people stretching for ten miles. The ups and downs of their singing are particularly prominent amid the noisy sound of cooking porridge.
"Bone is seventeen, Wood is thirty, Gold is seventy, next one!"
Lin Du opened her eyes after being pushed by someone behind her, but she couldn't help but frowning because of a palpitation in her heart.
"Hurry up, the one in front! Why aren't you moving?"
"Keep your voice down. That person looks unwell and a little uncomfortable."
"Why is this sickly person joining in the fun? Which sect would dare to accept him? Hurry up and don't delay the people behind us."
"Shut up!" the monk who was maintaining order shouted with a stern face.
The people in front quickly fell silent.
The monk who was testing the spiritual roots saw that the person was slow to raise his hand, so he reminded him, "Put your hand there and silently recite your birth date."
A pale and slender hand fell in front of him, with bony bones and blue veins as clear as glass. The monk was startled and looked up at the owner of the hand.
The man looked young, with a slim build. He was wearing a tattered, dark green robe. His hair was casually tied up behind his head. The strands of hair in front of his forehead were messy and a little yellow, as if due to malnutrition.
But she had a pale and tired face, with drooping eyebrows and a distant and cold expression, just like snow falling on dead branches in winter, which would be crushed and turned into thin mist if not handled with care.
It's a sickly thing, but a really good-looking sickly thing, what a pity.
The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches of the Five Elements Sensing Device kept rotating and finally stopped at an angle. Then a bright light appeared and the person registering behind the counter suddenly widened his eyes.
"…Born in the Lesser Cold, the sun and water are frozen. This is a natural full ice attribute, a pure ice spirit root."
Pure ice spiritual roots, pure mind and fearless spirit, an excellent candidate for cultivation.
The monk behind the counter shouted as if he had seen a rare treasure, "Bone age thirteen, it is a full-value ice spirit root!"
The people behind him followed suit. Today was the rare day of the Zhongzhou sect election. All the big and small sects, including the three sects, six schools, and ten schools, gathered here just to select new disciples.
Everyone is born with the five elements. Some people's spiritual roots are in conflict, so it is difficult to practice. Some people's spiritual roots help each other, so it is easier to absorb spiritual energy. This single spiritual root can be practiced quickly, not to mention the spiritual root that changes with time, which brings infinite blessings and is rare.
It is true that no matter how good or bad one's cultivation qualifications are, there is always a chance to step into the great path, but natural qualifications are still a necessary condition for entering a good sect.
After all... with such good qualifications and the ability to absorb spiritual energy very quickly, small sects and schools usually don't dare to accept them - they are afraid that their own spiritual veins will be sucked dry, so young geniuses are mostly born in large sects and schools.
Who would have thought that this skinny and sickly guy in front of us actually had such a great talent.
The monk holding the pen quickly wrote down Lin Du's attributes and handed her a wooden talisman. "Wuliangfu, take it, my friend. Please go to the square on the top of the mountain and wait for the sect to select you. Report according to the number on the wooden talisman."
Lin Du nodded in thanks, feeling the throbbing pain in his heart, and the smile on the corner of his lips became bitter.
This body is not just a sickly one, it feels like it could collapse at any second.
The spiritual roots test was at the foot of the mountain. Those who were qualified to practice cultivation took the wooden talisman and took a step forward. In an instant, they were in front of the broad stone steps as if they had traveled through time.
Lin Du looked up at the mountain top surrounded by floating clouds with some curiosity.
Is this the world of cultivation? It's more interesting than she thought.
Thoughts that did not belong to her appeared in her mind again.
[Host, how are you? Have you thought about it? You should know that you only have one day left to live. ]
Lin Du stepped onto the stone steps without changing his expression. "According to the routine of common cultivation novels, spiritual energy can prolong life, right?"
Can't eat oil or salt.
The system was overwhelmed for a moment. What kind of good host would be so uncooperative with the system?
[But is it possible? I mean, is there a possibility that you won't live to see the day you start practicing?]
Lin Du walked very slowly. His body was really weak. Lin Daiyu looked healthier than him.
She is an emotional blogger, whose private messages and live broadcasts are filled with complaints about love every day.
Lin Du's parents are divorced and he has been left without any discipline since childhood. He has seen the ups and downs of human nature along the way. He has gone with the flow in a world of ambiguity and self-interest, and he can no longer see through people's hearts. So he simply became an emotional blogger, and his style is sharp and sober, and his words are so popular that he has gained a lot of fans very quickly.
Unfortunately, no matter how kindly you persuade them or how harshly you insult them, it cannot save the large number of love-brains in the world.
Lin Du's hair became thinner and thinner, and his face became older and older - he was angry.
Finally, she opened up, respecting the ridicule locked away!
Who would have thought that after staying up all night to do a live broadcast, I would suddenly have heart palpitations and end up here.
Yes, Lin Du traveled through time, or to be more precise, he traveled through a book.
He was transmigrated into a series of sadomasochistic stories about cultivation, which brought together the top love minds from all the major cultivation worlds. While climbing the mountain, Lin Du looked at the directory introduction that appeared in his mind.
The eldest senior brother whose bones were dug out by his lover, the second senior sister whose pregnancy was cut open by her lover to take out the fetus and use it as medicine to revive Bai Yueguang, the younger junior sister who was deceived by the demon king and robbed of the sect treasures and then cruelly abandoned because she was no longer useful, the master who silently sacrificed for three thousand years and was finally sacrificed to the heaven by his lover...
Finally, she stopped.
The system waits expectantly for its host's response.
The host... The host covered his heart, took a breath, and then sat down due to exhaustion.
System: ……6
Lin Du turned to the end, "Can all of this end in a happy ending? What are you thinking about if you're not busy cultivating? If Wang Baochuan saw this, she would say, "I'll give you my wild vegetables."
[It is because these unlucky relationships were considered as legitimate relationships that they disrupted the fate books of everyone in the cultivation world, so the rules were disturbed and the host was pulled in. ]
"What does it have to do with me?" Lin Du raised his eyelids lazily, his cold face showing a hint of sarcasm, "Respect, ridicule, lock up, thank you."
[But host, don’t you think you’re going to die soon? ]
Lin Du covered his heart, which was extremely uncomfortable, and said, "It seems a little bit."
[Because my dear only has one day left to live, you were so angry in the real world that you had a heart attack and died. The host can’t go back even if he wants to.]
[Every time you save a Love Brain and sever their bias, the system will give a corresponding pill reward according to the degree of the Love Brain, and the host can extend his life~]
[And dear, your congenital deficiency requires extremely rare natural treasures, which ordinary sects certainly cannot afford~ If dear, you want to use cultivation to prolong your life, have you considered that poor health will also hinder cultivation? ]
Lin Du remained silent, without any thoughts in his mind, as if he was empty, and the system was anxiously waiting for the host's response.
She sat carefree on the cold stone steps, her lips had turned purple due to lack of oxygen, her beautiful face was tinged with grayness and gloom, her hair fell down as she leaned forward, and because of her young age, it was particularly difficult to tell whether she was a male or a female.
People passed by this strange and frail young woman one after another. Although she looked shabby to others, she didn't care at all and even seemed contented.
"Du Shao, my dear, listen to me. With my spiritual roots, I guess only a small sect will accept me. But your spiritual roots are so good that I'm afraid you can enter a big sect. We are an engaged couple and we will definitely live together in the future. How can we be separated..."
A man spoke very quickly, walking up the stairs while looking at the woman next to him.
"I don't want to separate from you either, but how can I decide whether this sect accepts people?"
The woman's voice was very embarrassed.
The man grabbed her hand and pleaded, "Come with me to the small sect. I really don't want to be separated from you. After we build our foundation together, I will marry you."
The woman was startled, then looked confused, "But... let me think about it."
"Qingqing... I really want to be with you forever, not to mention how I can rest assured that you will be alone in the great sect..."
The two people were so focused on their conversation that they didn't notice the person leaning on the side of the road.
Lin Du suddenly said, "Okay."
[What does the host mean? ]
Lin Du tilted his head slightly, following the man and woman who were climbing the stairs with a sad look on their faces, and a half-smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Professional match, I guarantee you will be satisfied."
——————
Author highlight: This is a novel with a female protagonist. All the female characters in the novel have their own characteristics. They are all excellent women who are themselves. It’s just that Lin Du’s personal style focuses on youthfulness.
He likes to use the pronoun "youth". The "youth" in "A strong youth means a strong country" refers to people between the ages of ten and fifteen or sixteen in the Chinese dictionary, including boys and girls. He refuses writing guidance.
Thank you all for reading and liking my posts. I wish you all the best.
Taoism does not distinguish between genders, and the only terms for addressing others are brothers, uncles, and grandsons. Although this article is just a cultivation novel, many of the settings are borrowed from Taoist rules, for example, Lin Du is called little uncle.

In addition to love-brained people, there is also normal love in the world. For specific CP issues, please move to Chapter 59. The most important thing when reading a story is to have fun.
