1: Chapter 1: I'll just practice Qi cultivation!
"Boom!"
"What the hell, where did this send me?"
Su Yi jolted, then looked around, completely bewildered.
At this moment, Su Yi was standing amidst a group of boys and girls, all of whom wore expressions of grief as if their mothers had just died.
He looked down at himself and saw he was dressed in the same short tunic as the sobbing boys and girls beside him.
"Hey, buddy, what are you crying about?" Su Yi asked in a low voice, tugging at the boy next to him who was already bawling his eyes out.
The boy rubbed his eyes, looked at Su Yi, and sobbed, "Today is the day we leave the Sect and head home. Since I couldn't become an Immortal, I have to go back and inherit those twenty thousand acres of fertile land, three hundred shops, and ten merchant fleets, and spend my whole life as an ordinary wealthy man living in muddled luxury!"
"Oh, then you really deserve to die!" Hearing the other person's seemingly humblebrag, Su Yi replied with perfunctory consolation.
Although he had been "flexed" on, from the two familiar words "Sect" and "Immortal," Su Yi could roughly guess that he had Transmigrated into a Xianxia world!
"Starting off with trashy Aptitude that the Sect looks down on? Interesting!" Su Yi rubbed his chin and looked toward the six people on the distant high platform who had been selected to join the Immortal Sect.
Those six people standing on the Wenxian Platform ahead looked strangely familiar!
Su Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the humblebragging young master beside him, who had a mirror hanging from his waist.
With some trepidation, he reached out, grabbed the mirror, and looked at his own face.
Looking at the handsome, dashing face in the mirror—especially those peach-blossom eyes that looked affectionate even when staring at a dog—in the modern world, he would be an absolute heartthrob for both men and women!
"Holy crap, isn't this the face I spent two days and a night molding in 'immortal path'? Could it be that I've Transmigrated into 'immortal path'?"
'immortal path' was a globally popular Xianxia game, and as a high-level player, Su Yi was extremely particular about his character's appearance.
After all, in the game, when you're out and about, your face is what you molded yourself.
When he realized he had Transmigrated into the game world he often played, and then saw the figures of four men and two women...
Su Yi's heart shook violently. For Su Yi, who spent his days immersed in the game, these six people were all too familiar!
"Damn, those are the Six Children of Luoxia from 'immortal path'!" Su Yi's heart raced, and he felt like his brain was about to explode!
Su Yi swallowed hard and tugged again at the young master beside him, who was crying so hard he was almost laughing, and asked, "Buddy, what's the name of the Immortal Sect that rejected us?"
The young master tried to force a look of sadness and asked strangely, "Are you suffering from memory loss due to excessive grief? It's obviously the Luoxia Immortal Sect!"
Alright, alright, alright, they really threw me into the opening of the game expansion pack!
The opening of the game 'immortal path' was an introduction to the Luoxia Immortal Sect:
"At the beginning of the Great Strife, the Luoxia Immortal Sect, six suns hung in the sky, illuminating the immortal path!"
And that was it.
It was really gone, in the physical sense.
When the game's open beta launched, this Luoxia Immortal Sect had already been wiped out!
And those "six suns hanging in the sky" referred to the six Prodigies.
They were the six people currently standing on the Wenxian Platform in front of Su Yi!
And the entire storyline of 'immortal path' followed these six big shots!
At the beginning of the game's release, the official character portraits of these six big shots were used for global promotion.
And when the posters of these six big shots were put up, it triggered a global ACG frenzy!
The reason was simple: the character modeling for these six big shots was just too top-tier.
As a high-level player, Su Yi could easily rattle off the names and experiences of these six big shots!
Sword Immortal in White: Gu Wanquan
Demon Lord in Black: Yin Chaoge
Great Love Immortal Lord: Wen Daoyi
Zen Sect Buddha Lord: Shi Buran
Heavenly Emperor: Xiao Tian
Empress: Ling Yao
Just by hearing their names—either Lord, Immortal, Master, or Emperor—one knew these six big shots were terrifyingly strong.
And in the game expansion, that was indeed the case; the six of them almost single-handedly created the landscape of the 'immortal path' game!
Who knows which Old Ancestor of the Luoxia Immortal Sect had their grave smoking with good fortune, to be able to attract six Prodigies to join the Sect at the same time!
But unfortunately, they rose because of the Prodigies, and fell because of the Prodigies.
In the expansion, the Luoxia Immortal Sect was immensely prominent for a time, relying on the six Prodigies.
In the end, because the six Prodigies turned against each other, it resulted in the Sect being destroyed.
Thinking of this, Su Yi couldn't help but feel relieved that he had been rejected by the Luoxia Sect.
"Fortunately, fortunately I was rejected. You have to know that when the Sect was destroyed, except for these six Children of Heavenly Dao, everything else in the Luoxia Immortal Sect, even the earthworms, were sliced vertically!"
And the six Prodigies whose Sect was destroyed were fighting each other like dogs.
The dark history of these Prodigies also led to a famous joke circulating in the gaming community:
"In this life, we are opponents in the game; in the next life, we will be brothers in the Luoxia Sect!"
Su Yi was secretly delighted, almost laughing out loud among the boys and girls who were sad about failing the selection.
Just as Su Yi was feeling fortunate, a familiar System sound suddenly rang in his ears.
"Ding, please complete the novice quest: 'Pass the Trial'."
"Quest details: Pass the Luoxia Immortal Sect trial and become a Cultivator!"
"Quest reward: Novice Gift Pack!"
Hearing the System sound that couldn't be more familiar, Su Yi's heart, which had just relaxed, instantly sank to the bottom.
Holy crap, no way, bro, don't mess with a fresh account!
You want me to join the Luoxia Immortal Sect? Why don't you just ask me to have a mukbang contest with a big-bellied glutton!
But if he didn't join, he wouldn't get the Novice Gift Pack. As a high-level player, Su Yi knew very well the value of this Novice Gift Pack.
This damn thing simply didn't allow him to refuse!
He didn't expect that the joke circulating in the gaming world would be like a bullet fired ten years ago, now hitting Su Yi right between the eyes!
Su Yi called out to the System in his heart with a pained expression, looking at the familiar character panel in front of him:
"Name: Su Yi"
"Rank: 0 (0/100)"
"Bone Aptitude: 1"
"Spiritual Power: 2"
"Physique: 3"
"Comprehension Ability: 4"
"Spirit Soul: 5"
"Talent: None"
"Cultivation Technique: None"
"Magic Treasure: None"
"Alright, alright, alright, 12345, go up the mountain to fight a tiger!" Su Yi looked at his attribute panel and was driven to laughter by his own stats.
No wonder he failed the selection; these stats, if put on an NPC, were the kind of Aptitude that even a dog would shake its head at.
The laughter attracted the "sad" young master nearby, who watched Su Yi sneering to the side, pretending to be sad.
Those peach-blossom eyes held three parts coldness, two parts mockery, four parts nonchalance, and ten parts good looks.
The young master beside him couldn't help but stare blankly: "My goodness, this guy looks so delicious!"
Being stared at with zero-like intent, Su Yi subconsciously looked at the drooling young master and asked snappily, "What the hell are you looking at?"
Those peach-blossom eyes widened, with a wet, alluring gaze full of charm.
This look pierced the young boy's innocent heart. He pretended to be calm, wiped his mouth, and said, "Hiss, brother, why don't you come home with me? I'll support you!"
The ambiguous words made Su Yi instantly vigilant. Why did this guy talk like a cunning 0?
Su Yi said with some disgust, "No need, I still have to join the Luoxia Immortal Sect!"
The young master beside him looked at him as if he hadn't woken up yet and said in astonishment, "Brother, we've already failed the Sect entry test. The Immortal Sect only accepts Disciples at the Qi Refinement Stage!"
The Luoxia Immortal Sect recruited Disciples once every ten years, and each time they recruited, they set up a trial.
If you could take a Qi Gathering Pill within seven days, sense Qi, and become a Qi Refining Cultivator, only then could you enter the Sect!
If you couldn't pass the trial, even if you had heaven-reaching connections, you couldn't enter!
After all, since you're cultivating immortality, who cares whose son you are!
Now the six Prodigies were standing on the Wenxian Platform, about to be enrolled.
You say you want to add a spot? Do you think you're a Celestial Dragon in the cultivation world?
But Su Yi, who knew the game well, faced the questioning of the ant-like NPC and just smiled proudly:
"What's so hard about that? I'll just do some Qi Refining!"
