Chapter 7: System Rewards! Holy Body Blood! Origin Dao!
Huo Ling’er felt as if she had just walked out of a lucid dream.
The original excitement of having a chance to join the Jade Pure Sect, the subsequent rejection by all the Peaks, the inner despair, and the eventual appearance of a handsome man asking to take her as a disciple.
These events constantly replayed in her mind as time around her blurred.
She had forgotten how she had knelt and accepted Chen Xuan’s proposal, how she had said goodbye to her father, and how she had been led to the Yin Yang Peak.
Huo Ling’er stayed in her temporary residence and waited for Chen Xuan’s further instructions.
In the meantime, she couldn’t help but recall what had happened. She felt her blood rush to her face, her cheeks growing hot.
Especially when she remembered her dumbfounded look as she heard that question and how everyone stared at her like an idiot, she wished to find a hole to hide in.
"Did it take me too long to react? Did I seem too stupid?"
"Is that why Master has yet to summon me?" Huo Ling’er turned over again and again in bed, unable to contain her inner embarrassment.
--
Huo Ling’er’s worries were meaningless.
Unlike what she believed, Chen Xuan was just too excited to pay attention to her.
After returning to the Yin Yang Peak and settling the disciples, including Huo Ling’er, into their quarters, he immediately rushed to his courtyard and shut himself in seclusion.
It was only then that he finally had the time to focus on the several blinking messages in his field of vision.
...
[Congratulations! It has been detected that the Host has accepted a 9-Star Talent as their disciple!]
[It has been confirmed that this is the first time the Host has accepted a disciple... The rewards have been upgraded accordingly!]
[Congratulations on receiving the following rewards:]
[3x Yin-Yang Holy Body Blood!]
[1x Great Yin-Yang Origin Dao!]
[1x Vulcan Immortal Scripture!]
[1x Yin-Yang Talisman!]
[3x Evergreen Pills!]
[1x Evergreen Robe!]
[...]
...
Rewards continued to flash with no signs of stopping.
Some of them were techniques, others were resources useful for cultivation, and some even had unknown functions.
Although the rewards were many and most of them were things he had never heard of before, Chen Xuan was easily able to spot the most important ones among them.
As he did, the System seemed to have listened to his thoughts and chose to assist him.
...
[Yin-Yang Holy Body Blood—The Blood Essence of the Yin-Yang Holy Body. Can be used to strengthen one’s physique and enhance one’s talent. It is extremely suitable for people practicing Yin-Yang techniques.]
...
[Great Yin-Yang Origin Dao—One of the Three Thousand Origin Daos. It can be used to derive all Yin-Yang spells and techniques.]
...
[Vulcan Immortal Scripture—The accompanying technique of the Vulcan Holy Body.]
...
Chen Xuan’s eyes shrank upon reading these descriptions.
The Blood Essence of the Holy Body was understandable, and he quickly accepted it. He had seen a Holy Body in real life, after all, let alone its Blood Essence.
However, the appearance of the Great Yin-Yang Origin Dao truly shocked him.
He was familiar with the legend of the Three Thousand Origin Daos.
According to the ancient books and the rumors flying around, all Origin Daos possessed unimaginable powers. Every single spell and technique in the cultivation world was said to be merely a derivative of them.
Chen Xuan had once believed these were just myths and had almost forgotten about them.
Yet now that it had been given to him as a reward, he felt that these words possibly contained a hint of truth.
"A way to enhance my Mortal Physique and an Origin Dao to enhance my combat power..."
"The rewards given by the System seem extremely comprehensive."
As for the Vulcan Immortal Scripture? Chen Xuan didn’t need an explanation.
Every Holy Body was said to be accompanied by a technique that suited it best.
If a Holy Body did not practice it, their cultivation speed would barely be better than an ordinary Spirit Body.
Clearly, this was the reason why Huo Ling’er’s cultivation was no better than that of her peers, and she was still stuck at the Qi Refining realm.
"I shouldn’t have slandered the System before. It now seems that it has not malfunctioned at all!"
"It’s just that my previous vision was too narrow!"
While praising the System shamelessly and ignoring his earlier disdain for it, Chen Xuan’s eyes focused on the several tiny grids on the left side of his vision.
Most of these grids were empty, with only a few containing items.
Chen Xuan understood.
As his gaze concentrated on one of these grids, an item materialized in his hands, as if it had emerged from his space ring.
As he looked down, he discovered that it was a long white robe commonly worn by male cultivators.
Yet, unlike the plain white robe he wore at the moment, this one was engraved with intricate, magnificent patterns.
Chen Xuan was not captivated by its beauty.
Rather, it was the cold feeling in his hands that left him stunned.
"A High-Grade Spirit Weapon! This robe must be a Spirit-Grade Magic Weapon!" he instantly realized.
A description suddenly emerged before his eyes, as if to confirm his suspicions.
...
[Evergreen Robe—A High-Grade Spirit Weapon. This treasure can automatically form a barrier around the user. Wearing it provides the user with special effects and enhances their comprehension.]
...
Chen Xuan’s hands moved quickly.
He hastily removed his robe and put on the Evergreen Robe.
His mind instantly cooled down, and his thought process became several times faster.
He guessed that this was the so-called comprehension enhancement function.
However, he still failed to understand what the so-called special effects were. This description... was too vague.
Chen Xuan did not mull over it, nor did he rush to claim the rest of the rewards.
With a thought, he sent out a message.
Then, he leaned back, closed his eyes, and began to wait.
It didn’t take long.
Shortly after the message was received, the sound of hesitant, almost fearful, steps echoed in the courtyard.
Soon, a figure walked towards him, bathed in the rays of the setting sun.
The color of Huo Ling’er’s hair grew deeper, seemingly turning into lava for a brief moment.
However, she paid it no heed.
She approached Chen Xuan and stood before him for a brief moment, until she suddenly remembered her father’s solemn reminder before the two parted.
Her knees bent gradually and touched the cold floor.
"Master," she softly called out, doing her best to hide her shame.
