61: Chapter 61 Two Intermediate Prize Pools, Unbelievable Luck, Chu Xiao was dumbfounded!

"Big Brother, once you're done with your business, you must come to Kyoto to pick me up!"

Chu Lingyin was carried onto the plane to Kyoto by a bodyguard. Although the young girl felt very reluctant to leave, she didn't cry, as if she could tell her brother had a lot on his mind.

Having seen his sister off, Chu Xiao felt as if a weight had been lifted from his heart.

Next up.

Old Taoist Xu Que busied himself with setting up a Formation near the villa. As he worked, he taught Chu Xiao the principles behind it, explaining the mysteries of Formations.

This old Taoist really had some skill; at the very least, he was incredible at fortune-telling and Formations!

Time passed bit by bit.

Once the Formation was set up, Old Taoist Xu Que didn't waste any time and began teaching Chu Xiao some insights regarding cultivation. He wasn't in a hurry to teach Cultivation Techniques, but instead explained the fundamental principles of cultivation.

A Mortal's cultivation is actually the act of seizing the creation of Heaven and Earth to store within oneself, thereby achieving certain health-preserving goals.

Heaven and Earth contain Spiritual Qi, a very mysterious energy. Absorbing it into the body can prolong life, change physical constitution, and multiply one's strength—its uses are infinite.

Furthermore, a Spiritual Root is the key to absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. If one lacks a Spiritual Root, a Mortal cannot absorb Spiritual Qi and naturally cannot step onto the path of cultivation.

Chu Xiao listened with an open mind, even though he never actually expected to learn anything useful from Old Taoist Xu, since he was someone with a System.

Cultivation was just something to do on the side!

His main goal was still to obtain pleasure points and focus on the lucky draws!

In the blink of an eye, it grew dark.

Night fell.

Chu Xiao clicked on the System interface to check his information.

[Host: Chu Xiao]

[Cultivation: Martial Arts Grandmaster!]

[Golden Finger: [X-ray Vision], [Extraordinary Driving Skill], [Innate Giant Strength], [Energy Absorption Great Art], [Taiji Xingyi Bagua Zhang], [Three-Part Return to Origin Qi], [stinky magical excrement!], [mysterious small green bottle], [Top-grade Lightning Spiritual Root], [Sacrificial Resurrection Technique]]

[pleasure points Balance: 28231.01]

Inside the room.

Looking at that mere 20,000 pleasure points, Chu Xiao felt pained. If his livestream hadn't been banned and the world hadn't undergone various changes due to the System upgrade...

He could have easily earned tens of thousands of pleasure points every day just by acting cool and showing off!

Now look at him.

The livestream was banned, and the world was in chaos!

Sigh!

He really shouldn't have been so impulsive. If he'd known, he wouldn't have upgraded so early and would have saved up more pleasure points first!

Chu Xiao suddenly asked curiously, "System, how exactly is this cultivation level calculated? Old Taoist Xu Que is at the Peak of Foundation Establishment, and I am a Martial Arts Grandmaster! These are two different Systems; which one is stronger?"

[Ding!]

[In the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, cultivation Systems are countless. To know which is stronger, one must fight to find out!]

The System responded flatly.

"Good grief, that's just a bunch of nonsense!" Chu Xiao couldn't help but complain.

[Ding!]

[The Peak of Martial Arts can also slay Immortals!]

[The Extreme Realm of the Immortal Dao can also slaughter Gods!]

[Host, there is no need for anxiety. With your current strength, you need not fear even a Peak Golden Core expert!]

[If you consume that lump of [stinky magical excrement], you could shatter the Void Realm with a single punch and instantly kill a Mahayana Realm Cultivator!]

The System responded nonchalantly.

Chu Xiao's mouth twitched, and he then said, "Please, help me open the Intermediate prize pool twice!"

After the System upgrade, the world had undergone earth-shattering changes, making Chu Xiao feel very insecure.

After all, this world was never simple to begin with.

Now that Spiritual Qi was reviving, many incomprehensible creatures were also waking up. He had to increase his strength first to have the capital to continue acting cool and face-slapping.

He hoped the System would refresh some useful items this time.

[Ding!]

[Consuming 20,000 pleasure points!]

[Randomly selecting from the Intermediate Web Novel Item Pool...]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the following six options. Please choose two!]

[①. [Stronger by Breathing] (This Golden Finger comes from a comedic cultivation web novel. Once chosen, you will possess this Golden Finger; every breath you take is equivalent to ten years of hard cultivation for an ordinary person!)]

[②. [Stronger by Having Children] (This Golden Finger comes from a Xuanhuan cultivation harem web novel. Once chosen, you will possess this Golden Finger; for every child born, you will receive ten times the child's cultivation in return! Moreover, every one of your children will possess a Heaven-Defying Immortal Root!)]

[③. [An Immortal Kings Treasury] (This Golden Finger comes from a hot-blooded Xuanhuan cultivation web novel. Once chosen, the Immortal Kings Treasury will manifest. The Host can choose one treasure from it every day! Medicinal Pills, Cultivation Techniques, weapons—everything you could need!)]

[④. [Eternal Life] (This Golden Finger comes from a slice-of-life Xuanhuan cultivation longevity web novel. Once chosen, you will possess the ability of immortality; as long as you are not killed, you will never die!)]

[⑤. [Infinite Spirit Stones] (This Golden Finger comes from a Xuanhuan cultivation 'rich son-in-law' web novel. Once chosen, you will possess Infinite Spirit Stones. Remember, it's Infinite Spirit Stones!)]

[⑥. [Infinite Soul-Sucking Banner] (This Golden Finger comes from a Xuanhuan cultivation web novel. Once chosen, the item will manifest. This Soul-Sucking Banner can hold infinite souls; the stronger the souls it contains, the more powerful it becomes. There is no upper limit—slaying Gods and tormenting Immortals will be a breeze!)]

[Note: Refreshed web novel items will not disappear and can be purchased with pleasure points!]

The System's voice ceased.

Looking at the descriptions of the Golden Finger items one by one.

Chu Xiao blinked.

He was stunned!

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap..."

"This can actually be refreshed from an Intermediate item pool?"

"System, are you sure you didn't make a mistake!"

Chu Xiao couldn't help but cry out, his eyes nearly popping out of his head. Any one of these six Golden Fingers would be enough to crush everything and run rampant without restraint.

How was he supposed to choose!

It was a total dilemma!

[Ding!]

[This System does not make mistakes. Top-grade items exist in every prize pool; your luck was simply good this time!]

[Host, please make your selection as soon as possible!]

The System's voice flashed by.

Chu Xiao swallowed hard and immediately said, "First, give me [Stronger by Breathing]. This thing is a must-have!"

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Golden Finger [Stronger by Breathing]!]

[From now on, every second you breathe is equivalent to ten years of cultivation for an ordinary person...]

The System's voice flashed by.

Chu Xiao tried taking a breath, and instantly felt endless spiritual power surging into his body, settling within his Dantian.

This spiritual power was incredibly pure and could be deployed at will.

However.

His cultivation level didn't increase in the slightest...

"What's the deal?"

"System, why is only my spiritual power increasing but not my cultivation level!"

Chu Xiao couldn't help but ask.

[Ding!]

[Host, you have not learned any Cultivation Techniques, so naturally you cannot increase your cultivation level. Please learn a Cultivation Technique as soon as possible!]

The System's voice flashed by.
