13: Generous rewards

"So this time, it's essentially giving me the equivalent of 1100 heavenly luck points to exchange for uncertain items."

Situ Jun murmured to himself, his eyes sparkling with excitement and nervousness.

The moment he exited the prize draw interface, the System's prompt sounded again:

[Ding! Host is rewarded with 10 years of cultivation. As the Host is a mortal body, the final cultivation level is Qi Refining Layer 5. Note: Host need not worry about unstable Foundation due to rapid cultivation increase. The System's rewards comply with the pinnacle of cultivation, making one invincible at the same level!]

Situ Jun could no longer remain calm. Qi Refining Layer 5!

Situ Jun felt a vast power surge into his body like a raging tide, instantly filling his limbs and every bone with abundant spiritual energy.

He widened his eyes in disbelief. Qi Refining Layer 5! This level of cultivation was sufficient to hold the position of a squadron leader within the Duke's Manor, and now it belonged to him so easily.

Moreover, this growth came with absolutely no side effects. This was truly a once-in-a-thousand-years Opportunity!

Before he could recover from the shock, the System prompt sounded again:

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for passively activating the cultivation Physique 'Chaos Spirit Body'.]

[Note: Any female Cultivator with a spiritual Physique who dual Cultivates with the Host will increase the cultivation of both parties, and may even improve the other's Physique. There is a chance for the other party to randomly obtain a spiritual Physique, but the obtained Physique cannot be higher in grade than the Host's.]

Heaven-Defying!

This was the first thought that flashed through Situ Jun's mind.

This Physique, which could be called a bug, could not only accelerate his own cultivation growth but also benefit others. It was simply a tremendous aid on the path of immortal cultivation.

Immediately after.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Cultivation Technique 'Dragon-Phoenix Grand Derivation True Scripture'. Will you learn it?]

[Note: The Dragon-Phoenix Grand Derivation True Scripture is a dual Cultivation Technique. Its grade increases as the Host's major Realm increases. Currently, the technique is at Yellow-Grade, accelerating cultivation between the Host and Dao Companions. The System has already bound it.]

"Learn."

Situ Jun hesitated for almost no time at all, decisively choosing to learn it.

This kind of bindable, growable Cultivation Technique was undoubtedly a priceless treasure on the path of immortal cultivation. Even though it was only Yellow-Grade now, its potential was limitless. In the future, rising to Black-Grade, Earth-Grade, Heaven-Grade, or even Immortal-Grade was not an unreachable dream.

Just thinking about it was exciting.

At this point, the prompts from the Heavenly Fortune System finally stopped.

Feeling the power within his body erupt like a volcano, and the spiritual energy in his Meridians surging like a roaring river, Situ Jun couldn't help but grin widely and laugh.

He pinched his own arm hard. The sharp pain made him clearly realize this was not a dream.

Then, he grabbed a nearby teapot, tilted his head back, and drained the water inside in one gulp, trying to suppress the surging ecstasy in his heart.

"Good, very good!"

"Hehe!"

"Right, there's still the prize draw!"

Situ Jun suddenly remembered. He silently chanted in his heart, opened the System Mall, and without hesitation clicked on the prize draw option.

[One Advanced Prize Draw, 10 Elementary Prize Draws.]

"Elementary Prize Draws, draw them all!"

Of course, the good stuff should be drawn last, so there wouldn't be a sense of letdown.

[Initiating Elementary Prize Draw...]

A series of System prompts rang out in his mind like a machine gun:

[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining one set of exquisite Cultivator clothing!]

[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 10 scallion pancakes.]

[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Yellow-Grade Cultivation Technique 'Earth Spirit Art'.]

[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining one piece of ladies' lotus-patterned bellyband.]

[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining one wooden carving carved by a folk master.]

[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 1 'Spirit Origin Pill'. Note: Consuming grants 3 years of martial arts cultivation.]

[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining one stalk of first-tier medicinal herb.]

[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 1000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.]

...Looking at these miscellaneous items, Situ Jun was somewhat dumbfounded.

What kind of stuff was this? The most valuable thing was that Spirit Origin Pill. The other items were practically just fillers from the System. The probability of getting good stuff was too low!

However, he quickly turned his gaze to the Advanced Prize Draw.

Taking a deep breath, Situ Jun suppressed the tension in his heart and clicked the draw button.

He saw the wheel in his mind spin rapidly, the rare items displayed on it making one's mouth water.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Immortal-Grade Medicinal Pill 'Vigor Pill'. Note: This pill improves male vigor, and the improvement is permanent. From now on, you will be adept in practice and never know defeat. Furthermore, this item originates from the Immortal Realm, is unique, and will never appear in the System again.]

"Holy crap! A massive stroke of luck! The System understands me!"

Situ Jun was so excited he almost jumped up, his heart filled with wild joy.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"I was wondering, it gave me a spiritual Physique and a Cultivation Technique, so how about perfecting my physical constitution a bit."

"Perfect!"

"Conquering Liu Xuaner only gave 200 heavenly luck points. How could a 1000-point prize draw not yield something good?"

Situ Jun's heart was filled with sweet delight; he almost couldn't hold back from cheering out loud.

"First, take the 'Spirit Origin Pill' to increase cultivation, then take the 'Vigor Pill'. Such good stuff should be consumed right away!"

Unable to restrain his eagerness, Situ Jun sat cross-legged. He first took the Spirit Origin Pill.

In an instant, a warm and mellow force erupted from his Dantian, spreading rapidly throughout his body like a trickling stream, and his cultivation increased once again.

Immediately after, he took the Vigor Pill.

"Open personal status panel."

Situ Jun silently chanted in his heart.

[Host: Situ Jun]

[Age: 19]

[Innate Aptitude: 50]

[Special Physique (Spiritual Vein): Chaos Spirit Body]

[Cultivation Technique: Dragon-Phoenix Grand Derivation True Scripture]

[Realm: Qi Refining Layer 7]

[Spiritual Skills: None]

[heavenly luck value: 220]

[Items: soul-bewitching pill*2, Scallion Pancakes*10, Female Lotus Bellyband...]

Looking at the information on the personal status panel, Situ Jun's heart was stirred by towering waves.

His Aptitude increasing to 50 meant he now had a fifty percent success rate in learning any Cultivation Technique or spiritual skill.

His cultivation had skyrocketed from Body Refining Layer 8 yesterday to Qi Refining Layer 7 today, about to step into the 'Condensed Essence' Realm, one of the four major Realms of Qi Refining.

This astonishing speed of improvement filled him with both pleasant surprise and worry.

"It seems I need to find an excuse to explain away the reason for my rapid cultivation increase. If someone with ulterior motives notices and I can't explain it clearly, I'll inevitably attract attention and scrutiny."

Situ Jun frowned, and his excited mood cooled somewhat.

However, he quickly composed himself again.

Currently, this level of cultivation wasn't too eye-catching within the Duke's Manor, and he had the powerful backing of the System.

At worst, he could just conquer a few more concubines, obtain more heavenly luck points, and exchange them for treasures or Spirit Pills to conceal his cultivation. Once his strength was sufficiently powerful, he naturally wouldn't need to worry about these things anymore.

Thinking of this, a confident smile curled at the corner of Situ Jun's mouth.

He began methodically organizing the items obtained from the System:

"Find an Opportunity to give the scallion pancakes to Liu Xuaner to taste, keep the warrior clothing for myself to wear, trade the first-tier medicinal herb for Spirit Stones, the bellyband..."

He planned for the future while organizing.

"Not a bad haul!"

After finishing the organization, Situ Jun sighed with satisfaction.

Merely conquering one Liu Xuaner had yielded such bountiful rewards. More importantly, he had discovered a shortcut to power.

Most importantly, he enjoyed the conquest itself. Even if he got nothing, he still liked the act of conquering.

His gaze burned intensely. If he didn't collect a few female protagonists, wouldn't his trip to this world be in vain?

Suddenly.

Situ Jun thought of something good, and a slightly lecherous yet expectant smile appeared on his face.

In this world where the strong are revered, he firmly believed that, relying on the Heavenly Fortune System, he would ultimately write his own legend!

After indulging in such reverie.

Only then did he feel that the days to come would be simply too comfortable!

If he went one by one to conquer the concubines within the manor in the future, wouldn't the rewards be continuous and his cultivation skyrocket?

Thinking of this, Situ Jun felt extremely excited in his heart.
