Chapter 2

"Is something wrong with Elder Iron?" Old Wang asked cautiously.

Although Elder Iron was unpredictable, Old Wang had been with him for decades and naturally did not want anything to happen to him.

The female cultivator shook her head and said, "The Yuqing Sect has recently been infiltrated by demonic cultivators. The outer sect specially sent us two to protect, so you don’t need to worry."

Old Wang let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

He bowed and then turned to leave.

The two cultivators each went their separate ways, sitting down to meditate under the trees on either side of the herb garden gate.

As they began to breathe deeply, visible whirlwinds appeared around them.

That must be spiritual energy.

Han Jue thought to himself and continued watering the plants.

...

The next day.

Han Jue continued to roll the dice.

【Spiritual Root Quality: None】

Han Jue rolled his eyes.

He didn’t even find it strange.

He wasn’t worried either, since he had already rolled four top-tier innate fortunes. He could take his time with the spiritual root quality.

The addition of the two cultivators did not change the lives of the herb garden slaves.

The monotonous life continued.

Han Jue spent each day working, exercising, and rolling the dice.

The third day.

He rolled the dice again!

【Spiritual Root Quality: None】

This is fine!

I’m on a roll!

Han Jue cursed inwardly.

The fourth day.

【Spiritual Root Quality: Mixed Five Elements Spiritual Root, difficult to surpass the Foundation Establishment stage】

Hmm, the standard for mortals to cultivate.

Han Jue shook his head.

He had to keep rolling; he would rather die than cultivate as a mortal.

Thus, Han Jue exercised and rolled the dice every day.

Most of the time, he got mixed spiritual roots.

He didn’t lose heart, believing he would eventually roll a heaven-defying spiritual root quality.

It’s fine to cultivate a bit later.

After all, he had no enemies.

...

Two years later.

Elder Iron returned, and the two cultivators bowed and took their leave.

All the slaves gathered and knelt to greet Elder Iron.

Elder Iron wore a black robe, with two gourds at his waist. His hair was a mix of black and white, and his face was stern, giving the impression of a bad temper.

"Not bad, no problems occurred."

Elder Iron looked around and smiled in satisfaction.

The slaves let out a sigh of relief and smiled.

Elder Iron looked at Han Jue and the other young boys.

"You four, come with me."

Elder Iron pointed and walked towards his pavilion.

Han Jue was one of the four.

They immediately followed.

"Are we going to be assigned to manage part of the garden?" Han Jue thought to himself.

He suddenly noticed that Elder Iron’s right hand, hidden in his sleeve, was dripping blood.

Han Jue was instantly alarmed.

Could Elder Iron be injured and planning to use them to make puppets or pills?

Han Jue had read many cultivation novels in his past life, and the phrase that stuck with him the most was, "Better to let a fellow cultivator die than to let a poor cultivator die."

For cultivators, nothing was more important than their own lives.

The more Han Jue thought about it, the more anxious he became. He didn’t dare to run and could only try to control himself.

After entering the room, one of the young boys closed the door.

Elder Iron sat in the main seat and sized up Han Jue and the other three.

"Extend your right hands," Elder Iron ordered.

The four young boys raised their right hands.

Elder Iron touched each one in turn.

Han Jue’s skin was crawling.

"Only you have a spiritual root. The others can go back," Elder Iron said to a tall, muscular young boy.

Han Jue let out a sigh of relief.

That morning, he had rolled his spiritual root quality. Yesterday, he had four spiritual roots, but today, he had none.

Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Han Jue looked at the tall, muscular young boy with sympathy.

Zhang Ge, a passionate child leader who loved pigeons.

The other two young boys looked at Zhang Ge with envy.

Zhang Ge was both excited and nervous.

Elder Iron did not allow slaves to cultivate, but this was the first time he had checked their spiritual roots.

After leaving the pavilion, Han Jue ignored the other two young boys’ discussions and went back to work.

From then on, Zhang Ge no longer participated in the labor.

It turned out he had been taken as Elder Iron’s disciple, which made the other slaves even more envious and jealous.

Han Jue was not envious at all.

There must be a trick!

First, he gets them used to it, then he kills them!

Han Jue was glad he hadn’t been chosen.

He had a system and didn’t need a master.

...

Two years passed in the blink of an eye.

Elder Iron had left the herb garden half a year ago, and the two cultivators who had previously guarded the garden returned.

Zhang Ge was now a Qi Cultivator and was even chatting with the two cultivators.

All the slaves now had to rely on him.

Fortunately, Zhang Ge was busy cultivating and didn’t bully the other slaves.

These slaves would be slaves for life. Elder Iron often went out, and they were not allowed to leave the herb garden. There were few conflicts since there were no disputes over interests.

Han Jue was already fifteen and remained low-key.

In four years, the best quality he had rolled was a three-element spiritual root, which could cultivate to the Golden Core stage.

The Golden Core stage is nothing!

Han Jue’s goal was immortality and becoming a deity.

One morning.

Han Jue casually rolled the dice, not expecting much, just like brushing his teeth every morning.

【Spiritual Root Quality: Water and Wood Dual Spiritual Roots, excellent quality, with the potential to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage】

Dual spiritual roots?

Nascent Soul stage?

Just potential?

Han Jue snorted, completely unmoved.

He was only fifteen and could roll for another fifteen years.

Keep rolling!

...

Spring turned to autumn.

Another year passed.

Han Jue continued to roll the dice every morning as usual.

【Spiritual Root Quality: Six-Element Spiritual Body, containing top-tier Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, Wood, and Lightning spiritual roots, increasing certain fortune】

Is that it?

Han Jue subconsciously snorted.

Wait!

Is that it!

Han Jue’s eyes widened, and his breathing quickened.

It’s here!

After sixteen years!

Finally, he rolled the spiritual root quality that a protagonist in a cultivation novel should have!

Han Jue rubbed his eyes and carefully confirmed.

Top-tier spiritual roots!

And six top-tier spiritual roots!

"Phew..."

Han Jue tried to calm down.

It’s finally here!

This is it!

This is the spiritual root quality he should have!

Han Jue didn’t immediately click to start his game life, fearing too much commotion, as there were still two cultivators guarding the door.

"When should I wait?"

Han Jue pondered.

Suddenly, a line of text appeared before his eyes:

【You can choose a small place, and the system will create a barrier. Cultivators outside the barrier will not be able to detect any changes inside.】

Han Jue was pleasantly surprised. He immediately went to the door, confirmed that all the slaves were in the herb garden, and closed the door.

He stood in the center of the room, brought up the attribute list, and hesitantly clicked on the bottom option, 【Click to Start Game Life】.

Click successful!

The attribute list changed.

A series of lines appeared before Han Jue’s eyes:

【Start Game Life】
