1: Playing badly for ten years will be rewarded with the Drunken Sword Immortal Body!

Qingzhou.

Wandering Immortal Sect.

“Nothing to do today, off to the pleasure house for some music!”

On a hillside vibrant with blooming peach blossoms, a young man in white lay half-reclined on the grass, taking a long swig from a qiankun gourd.

The rich aroma of wine filled his nostrils, flowing through his internal organs. He let out a satisfied burp, then stood up and stretched.

Martial Uncle Han Yu swayed with each step, stumbling down the mountain like a true drunkard.

In mid-air, sect disciples flew on their swords, each busy with their duties, a stark contrast to the leisurely Martial Uncle Han Yu.

“Martial Uncle Han Yu is about to inherit the Peak Master position, yet he’s still so lazy? Every day he’s either drinking or carousing in brothels. It’s truly scandalous!”

“Oh, come on, didn’t Master say? Martial Uncle Han Yu was just an orphan picked up by Martial Ancestor Mu Bingyao from down the mountain to appease the Sect Master. His aptitude is terrible; he’ll only ever stay in the Body Tempering Realm. What’s the point in him even trying?”

“That’s right, you can’t blame Martial Uncle Han Yu. The pressure to revitalize Tian Jian Peak is simply too great for him. He probably uses wine and women to numb himself. Sigh, it’s quite pitiful when you think about it!”

While the disciples discussed animatedly, Martial Uncle Han Yu had already spent a fortune in the mortal market, buying jar after jar of fine wine.

As the sole heir of Tian Jian Peak, one of the thirty-six peaks of Wandering Immortal Sect, all of Tian Jian Peak’s financial power was in his hands. Coupled with his poor Physique, he couldn’t spend it on cultivation.

For ten years, even though Martial Uncle Han Yu desperately spent money on fine wine and constantly rewarded courtesans, he simply couldn’t spend it all.

“Actually, even being a normal person here, drinking and seeking pleasure every day, isn’t bad. At least it’s much more enjoyable than being a beast of burden in my previous life!”

Martial Uncle Han Yu was not from this world; he was a transmigrator from Earth.

His luck was terrible; he transmigrated as a small beggar.

His luck was also very good; he happened to meet Mu Bingyao, who was descending the mountain to take on disciples.

Mu Bingyao didn’t even ask him anything, simply brought him back to Wandering Immortal Sect, and said to Sect Master Liu Ruyan.

“From now on, he is my personal disciple, Mu Bingyao. Are you satisfied?”

Then she took the eight-year-old Martial Uncle Han Yu back to Tian Jian Peak and completely left him to his own devices. To this day, the number of times Martial Uncle Han Yu had seen Mu Bingyao was few and far between.

He vaguely remembered her as an unparalleled beauty, with a cold, icy temperament and flowing silver hair, inspiring reverence at first sight.

“What a pity. The current Wandering Immortal Sect is on a downward slope, each generation worse than the last. I wonder how much longer I can enjoy this leisurely life!”

Although Martial Uncle Han Yu was very laid-back, he understood the importance of strength.

Only by possessing formidable strength could he maintain a stable environment.

Only with a stable environment could he be even more comfortable in his laid-back lifestyle.

Just as Martial Uncle Han Yu was filled with worry, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

“Ding! Detected that the host has completed the system awakening prerequisite mission ‘Ten Years of Slacking Off’. Mission evaluation: You are a born Slacker Saint Physique, you absolutely will not work hard if you can lie flat, proficient in all kinds of enjoyment, knowing how to slack off most comfortably. Mission score: Perfect!”

“Ding! Issuing the novice gift package to the host. Due to the host achieving a perfect score, a ten thousand-fold critical strike has been triggered for the novice gift package!”

“Ding! You have obtained the ‘Drunken Sword Immortal Body’. Rating: Immortal Rank, top-grade! Physique description: Others laugh at my madness, I laugh that they cannot see through! The Heavenly Emperor calls but I do not salute, I declare myself an Immortal of Wine!”

“Ding! You have obtained the ‘Azure Lotus Immortal Sword’. Rating: Immortal Rank, top-grade! Weapon description: Blooming in the turbid world, one sword, an azure lotus blooms, one sword, the world is at peace!”

“Ding! You have obtained the ‘qiankun gourd’. Rating: Immortal Rank, top-grade! Item description: The qiankun contains the world, the immortal gourd nurtures all things!”

Looking at the lines of system messages, Martial Uncle Han Yu was so astonished that he kept burping from the wine.

“This system, isn’t it too generous? Is the event promotion really this big?”

One must know that the ratings for Physiques and weapons are divided into four major ranks: Treasure, Spirit, Saint, and Immortal, with each rank further divided into top, high, middle, and low grades.

This system immediately gave Immortal Rank top-grade items; just saying it would scare people to death.

However, he then thought about it again and felt something was off.

“The system is rewarding so many Immortal Physiques and Immortal weapons, it couldn’t be trying to make me cultivate diligently, could it?”

“That would be too tiring!”

Martial Uncle Han Yu felt exhausted just thinking about it.

If he could lie flat, he absolutely didn’t want to bother himself.

Just then, the system’s voice sounded again.

“Ding! Novice gift package issuance complete. Congratulations to the host, you have awakened the Prodigy Investment System! System description: Invest in prodigies, others work hard while I lie flat, others gain while I receive a ten thousand-fold return!”

“Searching for suitable investment targets for the host… Target locked!”

“Target description: Name: Ji Yanling, Age: Eighteen, Cultivation: Body Tempering Realm Ninth Heaven, Physique: Fire Phoenix Immortal Physique (not fully awakened), Tags: Female Emperor Reincarnation!”

“Ding! Detected that this character is the host’s first investment target. Special early investment trial enabled, activating a ten thousand-fold guaranteed return!”

Boom—

Before Martial Uncle Han Yu could react, he felt rumbling sounds from within his body.

“Ding! You have received a ten thousand-fold return of Body Tempering Realm Ninth Heaven power. Infinite Body Tempering power surges within you. You have broken through the Body Tempering limit and reached the first major realm of the physical body—Breaking Extremes!”

“Ding! You have reached Body Tempering Realm Tenth Heaven!”

...“Ding! You have reached Body Tempering Realm Ninety-Ninth Heaven!”

“Ding! You have reached the upper limit of the Body Breaking Extremes Realm. With the blessing of the remaining Body Tempering power, your advancement speed remains undiminished. Congratulations, you have broken through to the second major realm of the physical body—Mortal Transformation!”

“Ding! You have reached Body Tempering Realm One Hundredth Heaven!”

...“Ding! You have reached Body Tempering Realm Nine Hundred Ninety-Ninth Heaven!”

“Ding! Remaining Body Tempering power is insufficient to break through. Please continue your efforts!”

Martial Uncle Han Yu took a long time to calm his excited mind.

After all, he had transmigrated for ten years; he still had a basic understanding of cultivation knowledge.

“Physical Body Breaking Extremes! Physical Body Mortal Transformation! In this era where the mainstream cultivation is the Qi Refining Grand Dao, this is simply a walking fossil!”

There are tens of thousands of cultivation paths in the world, large and small, but ultimately, there are only three major Grand Daos.

Body Refining! Qi Refining! Spirit Refining!

However, after countless years, only the Qi Refining Grand Dao has not only been perfectly inherited to this day but has also advanced further, with almost all schools of thought focusing on Qi Refining.

As for the remaining two Grand Daos, they have gradually withered away.

Especially the Body Refining Grand Dao, which is no longer suitable for the current era.

Qi Refining is mainly divided into ten major ranks: Body Tempering Realm, Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Immortal Platform, Core Condensation, Nascent Soul, King Realm, Emperor Realm, Venerable Realm, and Emperor Realm!

But Body Refining generally only has four major realms: Physical Body Breaking Extremes, Physical Body Mortal Transformation, Physical Body Transcending Mortality, and Physical Body Dragon Transformation!

Now, Martial Uncle Han Yu’s physical body has completed nine hundred ninety-nine heavens of Body Tempering. Even if he encounters an ordinary King Realm expert, he can still fight them!

Below the King Realm, he is invincible!

One punch can blast them into a bloody mist!

“Awesome!”

Martial Uncle Han Yu didn’t expect this system to be so much to his liking. With such strength, not only would slacking off be stress-free in the future, but it would also be even more enjoyable!

“Ding! Detected that the first investment target, Ji Yanling, is currently at Wandering Immortal Sect’s Ascension Plaza, seeking a master. To better slack off, please establish contact with her as soon as possible to accelerate the investment progress!”

...Ascension Plaza.

A young woman stood gracefully among the many young men and women seeking masters, like a crane among chickens.

Her delicate nose was high and straight like jade, her moth-like eyebrows were like distant mountains, her beautiful eyes like a pool of autumn water. Dressed in a red dress, she resembled a princess from a fire kingdom. Simply standing there, she attracted countless gazes.

Everyone who saw her, regardless of gender, was utterly captivated.

Ji Yanling was completely composed under their gazes, without the usual panic of a young girl.

“I never thought that the once prosperous Wandering Immortal Sect would decline to such an extent today!”

Ji Yanling looked at the Peak Masters who deliberately displayed their King Realm aura, drawing awe from countless people, and couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.

The King Realm was unattainable in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the heart of her, a former Female Emperor, they were merely mediocre individuals.

If it weren’t for something she desired within this Wandering Immortal Sect, she would never waste her time in such a decaying sect.

Just as Ji Yanling was pondering, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in her mind.

“Congratulations to the host, you have awakened the Prodigy Comparison System! System description: Bind a prodigy, and comparisons will be made periodically. If successful, you will receive rich rewards. If unsuccessful, you must complete the loser’s punishment to receive reward compensation!”

“System? What kind of evil thing is this, daring to invade this Emperor’s soul sea!”

Ji Yanling was furious in her heart.

She was a dignified Female Emperor; how could she possibly need the help of other crooked paths? Even with normal cultivation, she could definitely regain her Emperor position within a thousand years!

“Evil thing, leave this Emperor’s soul sea immediately, otherwise this Emperor will reduce you to ashes!”

Ji Yanling issued a threat, but the system seemed to ignore it, continuing its broadcast.

“Ding! A novice gift package has been specially issued to the host. Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the Ultimate Emperor Weapon ‘red lotus sword’!”

Looking at the crimson long sword, radiating endless power, that appeared in her soul sea, she couldn’t help but swallow, immediately stopping her threats to the system.

There was no other way; what it gave was simply too much!

To start with an Ultimate Emperor Weapon, a special weapon of that caliber, and one that was fire-attributed and suited her, she simply couldn’t refuse!

“Don’t think that a mere Ultimate Emperor Weapon can buy this Emperor. This Emperor just wants to see what tricks this ‘system’ of yours can pull!”

Although Ji Yanling was very satisfied with the system’s reward, she still recited with full arrogance.

“Ding! You have been bound to a suitable prodigy for comparison. Target description: Name: Han Yu, Identity: Tian Jian Peak Senior Disciple, Tags: Useless!”

“The first comparison will take place in ten days. Countdown initiated!”

“Please establish contact with the comparison target as soon as possible to facilitate future missions!”

Ji Yanling inquired among the people around her and learned that this person named Martial Uncle Han Yu was actually the notoriously drunk and useless person of Wandering Immortal Sect. She couldn’t help but sneer in her heart.

“System, are you really looking down on this Emperor? To make a useless person compare with this Emperor, is it just to give this Emperor rewards?”
