315: New system features

As several people entered the courtyard, they saw Ling Peng lazily leaning against a pillar of the corridor, playing with a Medicinal Pill in his hand.

"Are you the new Junior Brother, Meng Ji?"

Hearing this, a slight smile played on Ling Peng's lips. "You're mistaken. I've changed my name; I'm now called Ling Peng!"

"Hello, Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters. It's a pleasure to meet you."

The Pavilion Master's Lineage now had five Disciples.

Aside from the Eldest Senior Brother and Ling Peng, who were both orphans, the other Disciples all came from impressive backgrounds.

Second Senior Sister Su Jing's Family was in business, with trade routes spanning half the Wenzhou Domain.

She followed the mature older sister style, possessing a refined and mature charm.

Third Senior Brother Ji Zhaotian was the second legitimate son of the Ji Family, a renowned Artifact Refining Family in the Wenzhou Domain. However, he disliked Artifact Refining and preferred women's clothing, looking much like a female Disciple himself.

He wore a Pink Ruqun, and with his delicate features, it was hard to tell he was male without looking closely.

His height and appearance were very much like a pure Little Sister next door, but unfortunately, he was a man.

Fourth Junior Sister Liang Xin'er was backed by the Liang Family, which controlled most of the Spirit Medicine cultivation in the Wenzhou Domain.

Since childhood, she had been intimately familiar with the properties of various Immortal Plants and Spirit Medicines; she was now a Starlight Realm Alchemist.

She also looked like a pure Little Sister next door, and she was a girl.

Facing his four Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, Ling Peng did not neglect his manners and welcomed everyone into the courtyard to Host them.

With a flash from his spatial ring, many pastries and delicacies appeared before them.

Although one basically didn't need to eat upon reaching the Starlight Realm, Ling Peng still couldn't change his habit of needing to eat in such a short time.

Especially since he hadn't yet properly tasted the delicacies of this other world.

"Please, Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters. It's just a small treat, please don't decline."

Third Senior Brother Ji Zhaotian's eyes instantly lit up as he smiled. "Junior Brother, I didn't expect you to enjoy eating as well."

After saying that, he popped a pastry into his mouth.

The others didn't decline either, introducing themselves as they ate.

Before long, they all had a preliminary understanding of one another.

Then, Eldest Senior Brother Lin Yuming, who had come with a task, was the first to speak.

He sized Ling Peng up carefully, his gaze filled with a mix of concern and scrutiny. "Junior Brother Ling Peng, if you face any difficulties in the Sect in the future, feel free to come to me."

"Take this Grade A Cultivation Room Token; with it, you can Cultivate inside for three months."

Before finishing, Lin Yuming didn't forget to explain the effects of the Grade A Cultivation Room to Ling Peng.

"Cultivating in a Grade A Cultivation Room can increase your cultivation speed by fifty percent!"

"However, the path of cultivation allows for no slack; Junior Brother, you must not waste your talent."

"You must understand that only by becoming a powerhouse..."

Ling Peng stood up with a smile and bowed, respectfully interrupting the other's lecturing. "I will keep your teachings in mind, Eldest Senior Brother. I'm sure I'll be bothering you often in the future."

Lin Yuming wanted to lecture some more, but Second Senior Sister Su Jing couldn't take it anymore and lightly patted his arm.

"Alright, Eldest Senior Brother, that's enough."

"Junior Brother has just joined the Sect and hasn't adapted yet. Cultivation isn't something that happens overnight."

"Besides, Junior Brother is exceptionally talented; he naturally knows what he's doing."

The two bickered playfully, making the atmosphere quite harmonious.

She stepped forward gracefully and took an exquisite Storage Pouch from her sleeve, handing it to Ling Peng.

"Junior Brother, this is a meeting gift from me. Please accept it."

Seeing this, the other two also presented their own gifts.

"Junior Brother, you probably don't have a handy Magical Artifact yet. What kind of weapon do you like? I'll give you one."

"Junior Brother, take these ten Starlight Realm Cultivation Pills; they can increase your cultivation speed for a certain period."

Receiving a pile of meeting gifts, Ling Peng felt somewhat overwhelmed by the favor.

It was clear that the four of them truly regarded him as their Junior Brother.

Ling Peng was a person who clearly distinguished between kindness and grudges; he would naturally remember those who were good to him.

And for some reason, he always felt an indescribable loneliness and emptiness, as if something were missing.

Ling Peng steadied himself and looked at his Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters with a sincere gaze. "I will never forget your kindness."

"In the future, if you ever need me, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"

"It's no trouble, Junior Brother Ling. We are all fellow Disciples."

"Hahaha, those words from you are enough."

"You must work hard to become stronger, Junior Brother. Revered Master thinks very highly of you."

"Oh, it's getting late. Junior Brother, we'll take our leave now."

The laughter and chatter ended as everyone said their goodbyes.

As the liveliness faded, the courtyard returned to tranquility.

Once the figures of his Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters disappeared beyond the courtyard gate, Ling Peng began to examine the meeting gifts they had given him.

However, it was at that exact moment that the System awakened a new function.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully surviving in the other world for over one month.]

[This System has specifically unlocked a new function: Reset Cultivation Multiplier.]

[Maximum of one hundred resets per day. Each reset costs three hundred star stones.]

[Under paid resets, the multiplier is guaranteed to increase every time.]

When this System function appeared, Ling Peng immediately laughed so hard he snorted like a pig.

"It's here! It's finally here!"

"The multiplier refresh mechanism I've been longing for is finally online."

Why was he in a bad mood and not Cultivating?

It was because the cultivation probability given by the System was too low.

When he first obtained the System, Ling Peng was full of confidence, deciding to Cultivate hard and become a powerhouse.

He wanted to become strong so badly; he even dreamed about it.

But over the past month, the daily cultivation multiplier was always terrifyingly low, basically never exceeding 15x.

He had only encountered a three-hundred-fold efficiency once.

But one couldn't blame Ling Peng for being picky. With the System, as long as he was lucky, one day of his could equal a year of someone else's cultivation.

Besides, since he had Transmigrated to another world, couldn't he enjoy himself a bit?

"Three hundred star stones for one reset... this price can be considered quite high."

Ling Peng searched his entire person, including the rewards from joining the Tianxing Martial Pavilion and the gift Second Senior Sister had just given him; it only added up to enough for ten resets.

This price could buy fifty Starlight Realm Cultivation Pills or a year in a Grade A Cultivation Room.

He glanced at his three thousand star stones, then at today's multiplier.

[Current Multiplier: 0.99x]

"Let's do it! All in, all in!"

Ling Peng gritted his teeth and directly started the reset.

First try, 3x efficiency. Not satisfied.

Second try, 7x efficiency. Not satisfied.

Third try, 16x efficiency. Still not satisfied.

Fourth try, 39x efficiency. Still a bit lacking.

Fifth try, 103x efficiency. Now we're talking.

With each reset, Ling Peng got a bit carried away. Moreover, he had already said he was going all in, so how could he give up halfway?

He continued to reset until the number of star stones reached zero.

[Ding! Current Cultivation Multiplier: 372x]

Without wasting any time, Ling Peng immediately activated the Formation and began to Cultivate on the spot.

In an instant, an anomaly triggered by his cultivation appeared, causing many Spirit Peaks where the Pavilion Master's Lineage was located to tremble.

Inside the Pavilion Master Hall, Shen Li opened her beautiful eyes in pleasant surprise.

There was no need to guess who could trigger such a commotion; it was definitely her newly recruited fifth Disciple.

"Great! Yuming must have moved him with emotion and reason, leading him onto the right path!"

Meanwhile, in the other Disciples' courtyards...

The appearance of the cultivation anomaly left them all dumbfounded. Although they were somewhat prepared, seeing this scene still made them mutter, "Prodigy."

However, fifteen minutes ago, in a certain courtyard...

A mass of strange black mist surged and slowly condensed. This mist seemed to have a life of its own, swimming about nimbly.

It suddenly surged toward a figure that was currently Cultivating with closed eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the mist sank into the person's body, and the figure began to tremble violently.

After a long time, the figure slowly opened its eyes. The once clear eyes were now shrouded in a layer of eerie dark red light.

"Hmph, I've finally found a suitable vessel."

"My years of meticulous preparation were not in vain."

The voice coming from the mouth was low and raspy.

A wicked smile curled on the lips of the possessed figure. Suddenly, as if sensing something, its gaze abruptly turned toward the direction of Ling Peng's courtyard.

"Interesting. This junior can actually cause such a huge commotion. He might be carrying a great treasure. It seems I should pay him a proper visit..."
