"Changsheng, your name truly shares some fate with this Cultivation Technique of mine. I hope you can successfully Cultivate it."
Hearing these words and looking at the Revered Master before him—who had a somewhat stiff smile and could barely be considered amiable—Zhao Changsheng sighed in his heart. On the surface, however, he was full of joy and excitement as he nodded heavily and said sensibly:
"Revered Master, rest assured, your Disciple will definitely Cultivate this technique successfully."
"Good. Then go and Cultivate; do not worry about other matters. You only need to Cultivate with peace of mind."
Regarding Zhao Changsheng's promise, the smile on Mo Juren's face deepened a bit. He then waved his hand, letting Zhao Changsheng continue his cultivation.
"Your Disciple obeys!"
To this, Zhao Changsheng nodded heavily once more and gave Mo Juren a respectful salute before leaving. He returned to his room to Cultivate the Longevity Art that Mo Juren had taught him.
As for Mo Juren, he slowly went to tend to the medicinal herbs in his garden... After returning to his room, Zhao Changsheng took off his shoes, climbed onto the bed, sat cross-legged, and began to continue practicing the circulation route of the Longevity Art.
Zhao Changsheng had not expected his cultivation Aptitude to be so good.
Since becoming Mo Juren's Disciple a month ago and being taught the Longevity Art, it had only taken him one month to successfully Cultivate the first layer. This greatly surprised Mo Juren, who then immediately taught him the second layer of the technique.
But as a transmigrator who was well-acquainted with the plot, Zhao Changsheng knew very well that this was because Mo Juren wanted to use him for Possession to solve his own problems.
According to the plot, as soon as he cultivated the Longevity Art to the fourth layer, Mo Juren would strike.
However, he felt no fear. Knowing the plot and having obtained a Golden Finger, he had full confidence that he could counter-kill Mo Juren.
This was because he had already completed his first task: becoming a Cultivator, which earned him one chance to draw a card.
This was his Golden Finger, the transmigrator's perk—the Card Drawing System!
As long as he completed corresponding tasks, he could obtain a card-drawing opportunity.
These cards were divided into several types: character cards, item cards, skill cards, physique cards, and healing cards! Furthermore, these types of cards had corresponding Ranks: White, Yellow, Green, Red, Purple, and Gold!
If a character card was chosen, one could draw any character from the myriad worlds and request them to help complete one task.
Any favor was acceptable; even if it required them to sacrifice their life, there would be no problem.
Once the task was completed, they would leave immediately regardless of whether they were alive or dead, and would not stay by Zhao Changsheng's side forever.
item cards were different; not only could one randomly draw any item from the myriad worlds, but it could also be kept and would not disappear, allowing for permanent use.
skill cards allowed one to draw any kind of skill from the myriad worlds, including Spells, Divine Abilities, Cultivation Techniques, and secret methods... physique cards allowed one to draw any type of Physique from the myriad worlds to strengthen one's own power or possess special abilities. They were considered a different kind of skill card, but overall, they served to enhance one's own strength.
As for healing cards, they provided an opportunity for instantaneous healing. No matter how heavy the injury or how serious the illness, it could be cured in an instant without worrying about any aftereffects.
The disadvantage was that it could not bring the dead back to life, but it had the advantage of being able to heal others, not being limited to the host alone.
It was precisely the appearance of this Card Drawing System that gave Zhao Changsheng—who had originally awakened memories of his past life—the hope for longevity. He joined the Seven Mysteries Sect through connections, and by relying on his knowledge of medicine from his previous life, he gained Mo Juren's recognition and became his Disciple, receiving the Cultivation Technique, the Longevity Art.
However, the original name of this technique was the 'Evergreen Art.' It was a relatively common Wood-attribute technique in the Cultivation World, and only Cultivators with a Wood-attribute Spiritual Root could Cultivate it.
Later on, of Mo Juren's two Disciples, one was unable to become a Cultivator precisely because they lacked a Wood-attribute Spiritual Root and was subsequently refined into a corpse puppet by him.
But Zhao Changsheng had successfully cultivated it in just one month, making Mo Juren incredibly happy, which was why he had just taught him the second layer of the technique.
However, both Revered Master and Disciple harbored ill intentions toward each other: one was thinking of Possession, while the other was thinking of killing the other to complete a task and obtain a card-drawing opportunity.
And wanting to complete this task was not an easy matter.
The first choice was to rely on his own ability, but this required time—and definitely a long time at that. It wasn't something that could be finished in a short while.
After all, he knew very well that this Revered Master of his had once been a hegemon of the Martial Forest.
Relying on himself to kill him was definitely no easy feat.
The second method was to draw a character card and see if he could draw a powerful individual.
Commanding them to kill Mo Juren would thus complete the task.
The System had no restrictions prohibiting the use of this method.
Because some tasks could only be completed by Zhao Changsheng himself, such as becoming a Cultivator.
He had to rely on himself for those; even drawing a character card would be useless.
However, Zhao Changsheng was worried that if the character he drew was unable to complete the task, it would be troublesome.
After all, the characters were from the myriad worlds—any character was possible.
It could be an ordinary person without any cultivation strength, or it could be a Doudi expert capable of transforming Qi into a horse.
So he was still hesitating whether to choose a character card.
Of course, Zhao Changsheng was no ordinary person either; he was the Young Master of the Zhao Family, a wealthy Family in Jing Prefecture.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the ability to join the Seven Mysteries Sect and become Mo Juren's Disciple before the sect had even started recruiting.
He relied on the large amount of annual tribute the Zhao Family gave to the Seven Mysteries Sect, all for the sake of maintaining a good relationship and obtaining their protection.
As for Zhao Changsheng's reason for seeking a Revered Master, it was that he heard the Seven Mysteries Sect had a divine physician and wanted to learn medicine.
His Family did not oppose this reason for apprenticeship; on the contrary, they fully agreed.
After all, he wasn't the eldest legitimate son, but merely the son of a concubine.
Wanting to learn medicine was naturally a good thing, and he could also build a good relationship with Mo Juren, the divine physician. For any Family, this was a positive development.
The Zhao Family naturally would not oppose it but instead gave their full support, allowing him to smoothly become Mo Juren's Disciple.
Therefore, choosing the Family to deal with Mo Juren was also an impossibility.
Because their Family still relied on the protection of the Seven Mysteries Sect, how could they possibly deal with a hegemon like Mo Juren?
So this path was also blocked. The best and fastest choice was: a character card!
