In the dead of night, pitch black, the vast mountains were not at peace, with fierce beasts roaming and their roars shaking the mountains and rivers. The trees trembled, and leaves rustled as they fell.
Another beast's roar echoed, and Lin Feng shrank his neck, brushing off the leaves that had fallen on him. He looked at the dark mountains and sighed inwardly, thinking how different this place was from Earth.
Lin Feng sat under a tree, lost in thought. A few burly teenagers across from him looked at him with disdain. A chubby boy even shouted at Lin Feng, "We didn't keep you, an outsider, in the village to eat for free. Get to work!"
Lin Feng snapped back to reality, said nothing, patted his buttocks, and walked away.
Behind him, the chubby boy snorted, "Useless waste, his strength is even less than a child's. He should be thrown into the mountains to be eaten by fierce beasts!"
Lin Feng curled his lips, "How can a穿越者 from Earth compare in physical strength with you beasts?"
This Tianyuan Great World was a world dominated by cultivators.
The village in front of him, Wolf Village, was just a small village in the vast mountains. There were no cultivators, but every villager practiced martial arts and honed their strength, including women and children.
Only in this way could they survive in a world where fierce beasts roamed and even ancient relics appeared.
Just like now, even though it was late at night, the young and strong men in the village had to go into the mountains to hunt. Many prey were accustomed to coming out at night, so although it was dangerous to enter the mountains at night, the harvest would be greater.
The villagers were already used to this life. The children left in the village didn't sleep but gathered to play and compete, waiting for their parents to return from hunting.
Even the little kids with runny noses played with stone locks weighing dozens or even hundreds of pounds as toys. A group of teenagers in their teens were competing to see who could lift the thousand-pound cauldron at the village entrance.
Lin Feng looked at these little beasts and sighed inwardly. Compared to them, he indeed seemed weak.
But this wouldn't make Lin Feng feel discouraged. Although he was often talked about behind his back, he had managed to stay in this small village called Wolf Village through his persuasive skills. What truly troubled him was that he had something extra in his mind.
The Super Ancestor System.
At first, Lin Feng was delighted, thinking that being transported here came with benefits. But the first line of the system's instructions chilled him to the bone.
"System Main Quest: The host must establish a sect and become the first ancestor of the greatest sect in this world."
"Main quests are divided into different stages, each with a time limit. If the time limit is exceeded, the host will be directly eliminated!"
Lin Feng looked at the system instructions, especially the last line "eliminate the host," and was speechless for a long time. Finally, he squeezed out a few words from his teeth, "I bought a watch last year!"
After his anger subsided, Lin Feng reluctantly read the quest content. He didn't plan to risk challenging the system to see if it could really eliminate him. He had just arrived in this world and didn't want to die again.
Main Quest 1.0 —— Recruit four personal disciples.
Quest Description: Even a solitary cultivator needs to pass on their legacy by taking on disciples. The most important resource for a sect is always people, talented disciples who can carry on the legacy. A great teacher produces great disciples, and both are hard to find.
Quest Time Limit: One year. If the time limit is exceeded, the host will be directly eliminated.
"Damn!" Lin Feng sighed. As a newcomer just transported here, he was as tender as a fresh cabbage. He should be finding a powerful master to learn from, not taking on disciples.
"System, at least give me a manual so I can take on disciples. What can I teach them with nothing? Persuasion and bullshitting?"
Even more frustrating was that the system mentioned a beginner's package, but informed him that the package system was faulty and would be delayed. Lin Feng sighed, thinking that things couldn't get any worse.
The activated exchange system was full of all kinds of good things, from spiritual pills and magical treasures to cultivation techniques and magical powers. There was everything you could imagine.
The problem was that everything required exchange points, and Lin Feng didn't have a single point. He could only roll his eyes at the system.
As Lin Feng was cursing in his mind, there was a commotion at the village entrance. It seemed the hunting party had returned.
The waiting teenagers cheered and rushed to the village entrance. Lin Feng glanced indifferently but was startled to see that the returning young men were all empty-handed, not only without prey but also without their weapons.
For these villagers, weapons were their second life. Without weapons, they couldn't survive in these mountains.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Lin Feng's mouth, "There seems to be a story here." With that thought, he also walked towards the crowd at the village entrance.
Before he got close, he heard someone shouting angrily, "Lang Feng is the hope of our Wolf Village. Now he has been severely injured by people from Stone Village. We cannot let this go!"
Lin Feng looked up and saw a young man sitting dejectedly in the middle of the crowd, covered in wounds, his eyes filled with cold hatred.
"This is the genius that the villagers of Wolf Village talk about?" Lin Feng observed secretly. He had heard of Lang Feng for a long time, the idol of all the young people in Wolf Village, seen as the hope of the village. This was the first time Lin Feng had seen him in person.
Although Lang Feng was injured and dejected, his qi and blood were abundant, and his physical strength, though not comparable to a cultivator, was top-notch among secular martial artists.
According to the general consensus in the Tianyuan Great World, to have this level at a young age, if he practiced cultivation, he would have a promising future. Cultivators, after all, guide the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their bodies, condensing it into magical power to strengthen their foundations.
Lin Feng silently activated his Super Ancestor System, which had a disciple talent detector. He pressed the confirm button on Lang Feng.
"The target's talent is too low to become the host's personal disciple."
Lin Feng frowned. This system was too picky. He had originally planned to casually recruit four disciples to get through the one-year deadline, and then kick them out later.
But now it seemed that finding a loophole in the system wouldn't be easy. Even a genius like Lang Feng, known throughout the area, wasn't qualified. For Lin Feng to recruit four disciples and complete the system's task, the difficulty was truly immense.
"One year, one year..." Lin Feng sighed dejectedly.
In the crowd, an old man next to Lang Feng had a sullen face and snorted, "Lang Feng is my grandson. This matter cannot be left unresolved, but not now. There has been a lot of activity in the mountains recently, and it seems a mountain treasure is about to appear. We will get the mountain treasure first, and then settle accounts with Stone Village!"
Village clans often had armed conflicts, and Lin Feng wasn't interested in them. But the words "mountain treasure" caught his attention.
As Lin Feng was pondering the mountain treasure, he suddenly heard someone in the crowd mutter, "I don't know how Stone Village raised such a little monster. Not even four years old, a little kid, and he managed to defeat our village's genius, Lang Feng. It's really bizarre!"
Lin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up.
A kid not even four years old, defeating the Lang Feng in front of him?
Lang Feng already had some talent, and the person who injured him was not even four years old. What kind of talent must that be?
The chubby boy next to Lin Feng cursed, "Damn brat, we have to kill him!"
Lin Feng glanced at him and agreed, "Yes, yes." But in his heart, he thought, "This little kid might be recognized by the system."
With that thought, Lin Feng quietly left the crowd. He wanted to fly to Stone Village immediately, but he didn't dare leave the village alone, as it would just be a meal for the fierce beasts in the mountains.
At that moment, a mechanical and monotonous voice suddenly sounded in Lin Feng's mind.
"Beginner's package released. Do you want to check it immediately?"
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. He had never thought that the dull and monotonous system prompt could sound so pleasant.
Finding a secluded place, Lin Feng opened the package.
Beginner's package: The host gains the basic cultivation level of the Qi Condensation stage, level 4. The host gains one lottery chance, 300 exchange points, the Dao technique manual "Nine Heavens Thunder True Law," and the magical power "Nine Heavens Thunder Summoning."
Lin Feng was stunned as a warm current flowed from the top of his head, straight into his chest and abdomen, quickly breaking through a hidden acupoint in his body.
The human body has twelve important hidden acupoints, which cultivators call the Twelve Floors.
The cultivation of the Qi Condensation stage is divided into twelve levels, each to open one of the Twelve Floors. Each acupoint that is opened allows the spiritual energy to be converted into magical power, and the cultivator's magical power will advance to a new level.
Lin Feng felt the warm current continuously breaking through his acupoints, until it opened four acupoints in his body and then disappeared. With each breath, the elemental energy of heaven and earth was rapidly absorbed into his body, swirling in the four opened acupoints.
Each acupoint was like a constantly rotating star cluster, continuously converting the spiritual energy into Lin Feng's own magical power, like the creation of the universe and the evolution of all living things.
Lin Feng felt his entire body become light, and with a thought, the magical power in his acupoints surged, a powerful force ready to burst forth.
After a long time, Lin Feng gradually adapted to the changes in his body and felt relieved, "At least I have some self-defense now." But thinking about the system's ultimate goal of establishing the greatest sect in history and becoming the first ancestor, Lin Feng felt immense pressure and quickly checked the other items in the beginner's package.
"Lottery chance?" Lin Feng looked at it. In the auxiliary cultivation system, besides the exchange system, there was also a lottery system, but it was gray and not yet activated. He couldn't think about it for now.
For now, he could only hope that the 300 exchange points would have some purchasing power.
As he thought, Lin Feng entered the exchange system. Previously, he had been so poor that he hadn't even dared to look at the prices.
After carefully checking the prices, Lin Feng cursed the system for being greedy. The lowest-level bottle of Qi Nourishing Pill cost ten exchange points, and a slightly spiritual iron sword cost thirty points.
Even a basic set of attire, a feather robe and star crown, cost fifty points.
Basic magical powers like "Fireball" and "Palm Thunder" cost one hundred points.
As for the high-level items with a string of zeros, Lin Feng didn't dare to look, for fear of getting dizzy.
Looking at the pitiful 300 exchange points in his "current exchange points" column, Lin Feng shook his head, "The starting capital is too little."
Fortunately, the beginner's package included a Dao technique manual and a magical power, or Lin Feng would have been in a real bind.
Dao techniques are the foundation of cultivation, mainly for enhancing one's realm, while magical powers are practical martial arts or spells with various uses.
Surprisingly, the "Nine Heavens Thunder True Law" in the package was of a very high grade, and the current exchange system couldn't even offer it. It would only be available after the system was upgraded.
As for the system upgrade, it would only be unlocked after Lin Feng completed a certain number of system tasks. It was still too early to talk about it.
The "Nine Heavens Thunder True Law" was one of the top thunder-based Dao techniques in the Tianyuan Great World, but it had been lost for many years. In the past, those who successfully cultivated this technique were all powerful figures.
According to the instructions, the beginner's package randomly opened one Dao technique. Getting the "Nine Heavens Thunder True Law" was like a stroke of luck for Lin Feng. Although 300 exchange points had limited purchasing power, Lin Feng's frustration was completely gone.
With such a top-tier Dao technique, if it weren't for the damn main quest, Lin Feng would definitely find a secluded place to cultivate and then come out to dominate.
But now that he had to take on disciples, it was a different story.
Despite his dissatisfaction, Lin Feng quickly adjusted his mindset and took action.
He asked for the route to Stone Village and quietly left Wolf Village without drawing attention.
The two villages were now in a hostile state. As a cultivator, Lin Feng wasn't afraid of the people from Wolf Village, but he was afraid they would expose his identity to the people of Stone Village.
Fortunately, the people of Wolf Village were all gathered at the village entrance, discussing Lang Feng's injury. Lin Feng left from the back of the village, and no one noticed his actions.
On the road, Lin Feng didn't hesitate and spent fifty exchange points to buy a set of attire.
How could Lin Feng, from Earth, not know the principle of "Buddha needs gold, man needs clothes"? To sell something, the promotion and packaging must be done well.
Looking down at his feather robe and star crown, with a white robe and wide sleeves, Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction. The system's items were expensive, but the quality and appearance were impeccable, making him look like a transcendent and proud immortal.
When Lin Feng arrived at the entrance of Stone Village, the first thing he saw was a huge, withered tree trunk, with a diameter of over ten meters, completely charred.
Lin Feng glanced at it and deduced that it was a lightning-struck tree, which had been struck by lightning many years ago, destroying its massive canopy and vitality. Now, only a nine-meter-high stump remained above the ground.
But just looking at the size of the existing trunk, one could imagine how enormous the tree had been when it was alive.
The withered tree was completely charred, with no signs of life.
At that moment, an old man walked over, coughing and said, "This tree has been withered for ten years." He walked up to Lin Feng and looked him up and down, "I am the village chief of Stone Village. Is there anything I can help you with, Daoist?"
Lin Feng smiled slightly, exuding a naturally transcendent and proud aura. With his attire, he looked like a perfect transcendent immortal.
"Target detected, suitable to become the host's personal disciple."
Lin Feng was about to speak when he heard the sudden system prompt, almost choking on his own saliva.
The old village chief of Stone Village looked at Lin Feng curiously and was startled.
Lin Feng's eyes were glowing green, staring at the village entrance like a hungry wolf.
At the village entrance, a cute little child, with a fair and adorable face, was pulling on a big yellow dog's tail, his voice clear and loud, "Hey, don't run!"
The system sound in Lin Feng's mind kept ringing, "Talent system sorting complete. Target data as follows."
"Bone structure -> 10; Insight -> 8; Willpower -> 8; Fortune -> 8."
"Summary: The target has extremely high talent. It is recommended to take him as a disciple and teach him diligently. He will surely become a pillar of the sect."
Lin Feng didn't see anything else, his eyes fixed on the blood-red number "10" after "bone structure."
Bone structure refers to a cultivator's innate physical talent, and the maximum value of this talent system is 10.
What does a 10 in bone structure mean?
To put it simply, if others run 100 meters from the starting point to the finish line, this little kid starts from 90 meters!
No wonder, no wonder he could beat Lang Feng, who was almost four years old, to a pulp.
The little kid noticed Lin Feng and looked at him with a puzzled expression, blinking his big eyes, a perfect little cutie.
Lin Feng smacked his lips. This kid not only had a bone structure that was off the charts, but his insight, willpower, and fortune were also at a super-genius level.
Taking such a kid as a disciple, wouldn't that be a bit too much pressure?
Lin Feng pondered, and a warm, sunny smile gradually appeared on his face.
If people who knew Lin Feng from his previous life saw this smile, they would immediately run as far as possible.
Usually, when Lin Feng smiled like this, it meant someone was about to be thoroughly screwed.
