Chapter 1

"Detected that the host is already very perfect, this system has nothing more to teach, hereby解散, bye~"

The mechanical voice made Li Nianfan stagger, and he was completely dumbfounded.

"Damn! No, don't解散!"

Li Nianfan hurriedly shouted, "I am not perfect at all, can you teach me a few more things? Can you at least teach me how to cultivate? System? System!"

"Really解散?"

"Or send me back first?"

"You brought me here and just run away? System!"

Li Nianfan roared madly in his heart, but there was no response.

"Go to hell! Damn system!" Li Nianfan cursed directly.

Five years ago, he was transported to this place and bound to a Sage System, which sounded incredibly impressive. Li Nianfan once thought he was about to reach the pinnacle of his life.

However, the things this system taught him were all about Chinese, math, chemistry, physics, writing poetry, and painting, which were quite useless.

There was no choice but to tough it out and learn!

Li Nianfan endured it all until today, when he finally learned everything and received the prestigious titles of Poet Sage, Painter Sage, Chess Sage, and Divine Farmer from the system.

Then... the system解散ed!

It解散ed!

If he were in his previous life, he could have made a name for himself with these skills, but now he was in a different world, and unexpectedly, it was a cultivation world!

Cultivators would fly by from time to time.

There were even rumors of man-eating monsters.

This was really impressive!

What use were these skills? Could he reason with monsters?

Because he was afraid of death, he deliberately chose a relatively secluded mountain near the city, living a self-sufficient life, fearing that one day he would be caught in the crossfire of a battle between immortals and die without knowing why.

Actually, he always had hope, after all, he had a golden finger.

He endured humiliation and hardship for five years, waiting for the system to teach him cultivation so he could soar to the heavens and become an immortal.

Unfortunately, he had not anticipated that the system would解散 after teaching him a bunch of useless knowledge.

What a scam!

He had also thought about not relying on the system.

Right after he was transported, he went to seek a master in a cultivation sect, but found out that he had no spiritual roots and could only be an ordinary person for life.

"Master, it's lunchtime."

A robot walked out of the room and made an inviting gesture to Li Nianfan.

"Oh."

Li Nianfan was somewhat dispirited but did not want to neglect himself, so he walked back to the room.

This robot was a reward from the system after he learned physics.

At first, he thought it was nice to have an intelligent robot serving him, but now Li Nianfan wanted to cry; in the cultivation world, this robot was just a pile of scrap metal.

Li Nianfan's house was a quadrangle courtyard, with pavilions, terraces, and a small bridge over a stream, blending harmoniously with the mountain scenery, making it a feng shui treasure.

This quadrangle courtyard was also a reward from the system after he learned architecture.

Actually, all the daily necessities here were rewards from the system for completing various tasks. With his title as Divine Farmer, farming was no problem, so even if he were isolated from the world, he could be completely self-sufficient, and the food was quite good.

"If it really doesn't work out, I'll just live as an ordinary person for the rest of my life. At least the air and scenery here are much better than in my previous life, and I don't have to struggle for a living. It's pretty good, pretty good."

Li Nianfan consoled himself.

The only thing missing now was a girlfriend. Cultivating women must be very beautiful, but they would definitely not look at him, an ordinary person.

Li Nianfan shook his head and could only fantasize in his mind.

He shouted to the backyard, "Dahēi, it's mealtime!"

A black dog ran over, tongue out, staring at Li Nianfan expectantly.

"Such a glutton."

Li Nianfan smiled and prepared food for Dahēi.

Dahēi was a dog Li Nianfan found on this mountain, originally a starving puppy. After being adopted by Li Nianfan, the two became companions.

Dahēi was very well-behaved, quietly observing when Li Nianfan wrote or painted, and especially enjoyed listening to Li Nianfan play the zither.

Li Nianfan once thought Dahēi understood human nature, worthy of being a dog in the cultivation world.

At the same time, two women were walking up the mountain from the foot.

One of them wore a white dress, her delicate face with a pouting mouth, looking very unhappy, which would make anyone feel sympathetic at first glance.

Such a beautiful girl, who could bear to see her suffer?

She walked angrily, saying, "Dead father, bad father, actually wanting me to marry that disgusting Duanmu Li, unforgivable!"

Behind her, the green-dressed maid's face turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice, "Princess, you must not say such things! If someone with ill intentions hears, we will be in trouble."

"If I am forced to marry Duanmu Li, what do I have to fear?" The white-dressed girl huffed, "If they keep forcing me, I might as well die!"

The maid quickly knelt down, afraid, "Princess, you cannot die, please do not scare me."

"Oh, I was just saying. I don't want to die at all."

The white-dressed girl's eyes twinkled, and she said playfully, "But I can hide. If my father keeps forcing me, I'll find a place to hide. This forest is not bad, let's find a hiding place now!"

"Phew, you scared me, Princess. Please don't talk about dying in the future." The maid patted her chest and stood up.

She looked around and suddenly shivered, "This forest is desolate and uninhabited, and there might be wild beasts, which is very dangerous. We should go back quickly."

"I am almost at the Foundation Establishment stage, I am not afraid of wild beasts. Let's find a hiding place quickly." The white-dressed girl found her goal, her previous dejection gone, and ran up the mountain quickly.

"Princess, wait for me..."

One ran, the other chased, and soon they reached the mountain waist.

White clouds floated in the sky, and among the green trees, an ancient and elegant building came into view.

The maid's eyes widened in surprise, "Someone actually lives here?"

"What a unique building, ancient and elegant, as if taken from a painting." The white-dressed girl curiously examined the quadrangle courtyard.

The style of this building was completely different from what she usually saw. It was not opulent, but gave a very extraordinary feeling, blending harmoniously with the surrounding landscape, making one yearn for it.

She felt, perhaps not wrongly, that it was no less impressive than the imperial palace.

Could there be a reclusive expert living here?

The white-dressed girl's eyes lit up with excitement, and she ran over, "Let's go and take a look. Remember, if we meet someone, don't call me Princess, call me Miss."

The maid was worried and called out from behind, "Princess, be careful, there might be danger."

The white-dressed girl soon reached the front courtyard, curiously examining everything.

A small vegetable garden, a rattan chair, a stone table with four stone stools...
