The Undying Immortal System [Book 1 Stubbing Aug 31st] Chapter 11 – Life 17, Age 16, Martial Disciple 1

I opened my eyes.

I was kneeling in a courtyard surrounded by children.

The rusty gear of my mind started moving, and I began processing everything that I had experienced over the last eighty years.

The endless toils of constant alchemy felt… compressed. I knew I had spent decades in that house concocting pills and powders, but in my mories, it was like it all happened in an instant. I could pick out specific monts if I tried, but if I didn’t, they all blended together. In that state, I felt as if I had only been trapped there alone for a few days.

I was only doing alchemy for a few days when…

The mont I began thinking about the events of the past month, they blazed to life in my mory. I had willingly thrown myself into torture. I was happy about being tortured. I wanted it. I wanted to be tortured for that bastard RuDi…

“Hmph. Rudy.”

Changing the pronunciation of his na was a petty sort of revenge, but petty fit my mood perfectly.

My mood didn’t stay so petty after my snort drew a certain soone’s attention.

“Quiet!”

At the front of the crowd, as always, was a middle-aged man. He was glaring at .

I glared right back.

It was Su YuanFei.

Rage filled . Rage at everything that had happened over eight long decades. Rage at this damn clan and everything it stood for. On one path, I try to beco a warrior and get brutally murdered ti and ti again. I try sothing new, and I get locked into eternal enslavent.

Oh, I know, I could invest everything to beco a valued and hard-working mber of the clan.

Fuck that! Fuck this clan!

This place was a cancer in the world that needed to be eradicated.

I stood.

As I looked at YuanFei’s, FeiFei’s, angry face, I heard a voice echo from deep within my soul.

You must repay your debts.

FeiFei’s face turned bright red. “Sit back down!”

“Fuck you!”

I charged him.

The old bastard didn’t even flinch. He simply waved his hand, and a small bolt of energy shot toward .

You have died.

I opened my eyes.

I looked at the children that surrounded . I saw the red-robed bastard who killed on my first day in this world.

I ran at him with all the strength I could muster.

Before I even got close, a small bolt of qi hit in the side.

You have died.

I saw the eighth-ranked elite disciple.

You have died.

System Warning: Quick, repeated, intentional deaths detected. Further actions may result in an administrative response.

I looked at FeiFei. All I saw was red.

You have died.

You have died.

You have died.

System Warning: Quick, repeated, intentional deaths detected…

…

Total Credits: 270

After a couple of dozen deaths, I started to feel like my soul was fracturing. When I opened my eyes, I could no longer muster the energy needed to continue this futile ‘revenge.’

I followed the group back to my tiny house, and once inside, I collapsed onto the ground.

“System, what is the value of Rank 1 pills and their ingredients!”

Complete knowledge of Rank 1 pills prices. The cost is not possible to calculate at this ti.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

“Fuck off! What is the local price of Low-Purity Rank 1 Basic Qi Gathering Pills, Qi Gathering Powder, and blue peonies!”

The cost of that knowledge is 1 credit.

“Purchase!”

Purchase confird. 269 credits remaining.

The local market price of Low-Purity Rank 1 Basic Qi Gathering Pills is 5 silver, Qi Gathering Powder is 2 silver, and blue peonies are 50 copper each.”

“Gods fucking dammit! System, I want the ability to appraise pills.”

The cost of an ability to appraise all pills is not possible to calculate at this ti.

“Mother Fu… System, I want the ability to appraise all Rank 1 pills.”

The cost of an ability to appraise all Rank 1 pills is not possible to calculate at this ti.

“Not the ti! System, I want the ability to appraise most Rank 1 pills.”

The cost of an ability to appraise a majority of Rank 1 pills is 5,000 credits.

“Shut up! I want the ability to appraise so Rank 1 pills.”

The cost of an ability to appraise a limited set of Rank 1 pills is 10 credits.

“Purchase!”

Purchase confird. 259 credits remaining.

I waited, seething. The only thing stopping from lashing out was the feeling that my soul could collapse at any ti.

Again, I received the Guided Fla Mantra and was sent to study under Master Rudy.

I did my best to remain composed. I tried my best to mimic my actions from my previous life. It was hard, damn hard, and I know it wasn’t perfect, but it was good enough. Eventually, Rudy sent out to cultivate the damn slave mantra.

I did not cultivate. I waited several hours. When I was confident the main hall was clear, I snuck in, grabbed a blue peony, and headed to the alchemy room.

I was only a Disciple 1, so I didn’t have much energy in my body, but I had decades of experience. I was as efficient as I could be at lting the flower, burning off the chaotic qi strings, and forming it into a pill. This process took everything I had, and the result was far from what I had been able to achieve at my peak, but I was able to successfully form a pill.

I used my new skill at appraisal and looked at it.

High-Purity Rank 1 Basic Qi Gathering Pill, 84% dicinal Efficacy. Value: 20 silver.

You mother fuckers.

For the first ti, I ran up the stairs to the second floor. I was going to hurt soone.

You have died.

I opened my eyes and saw that bastard FeiFei.

You have died.

You have died.

System Warning: The adminis—

You have died.

My anger burned itself out, and I sat alone in my house.

I knew that if I took even one more step, I would crumble to dust, body and soul.

“Is this it? Is this all my life is now? Is it going to continue like this forever? I can try to do better, but does it even matter?”

I didn’t have an answer.

“System… how much to just end this?”

There was only silence.

“How much to make this all stop?”

I waited.

.

.

.

An imperious voice shoved down into the floorboards.

“Are you done?”

My eyes shot open. There was a man standing in my house. No one had ever entered this house before. This… This was different.

I tried to look at him, but it was like he didn’t fit into this world, like he was outside of it.

He wore a vibrant red hanfu with gold embroidery that shone with its own light. My mind went back to the young, red-robed youth that had killed long ago. This man was what that kid wanted to be.

It took a long mont to respond. “Who… who are you?”

“I am the power that controls this world. I am the incarnation of the Earthly Dao. The being given mind and form to carry out the will of the Dao. Everything within this world is under the purview of the Earthly Dao, and I am its hand.”

As the ‘person’ spoke, the light emanating from the gold threads of its robes shone with a brighter light.

“You were blessed. I am the one who blessed you. I chose you. Due to your circumstances, I was able to grant you a uniquely powerful blessing. One which will finally empower to improve and advance this wretched world.”

It glared at .

“Allowing you ti to acclimate to your new situation was necessary, and a large number of early deaths was foreseeable and acceptable. However, continued imdiate suicide upon your rebirth will not be tolerated. I gain little if you do not survive for at least a few years.”

I wanted to respond, to just say sothing, but I couldn’t put any words together.

“If you continue to act in this manner, your blessing will be revoked.”

I looked at the incarnation. The despair I had felt earlier was replaced with anger. “So, you are just using ?”

“Yes. This world, like every other, is about benefits. I, we, use everything in this world to push it forward toward advancent. I want you, and everyone else, to thrive. Not because I care about you, but because when you thrive this world thrives.”

I thought about what he was telling . How much of it could I trust?

“System, is… is all of this true?”

Veracity of statents made by the incarnation of the Earthly Dao. Cost… cost paid for by external entity.

Yes. The incarnation’s words are true.

‘Yes.’ Did that an that everything this being said was actually true? Not at all, but it did an the ‘incarnation’ and the System were on the sa page.

“Okay, fine. You put here, and you don’t want to keep dying over and over countless tis. If that’s the case, answer so goddamn questions.”

“No, go through the System. That is its purpose.”

“No! At least tell what is happening to my mind! My mories are… strange.”

The incarnation squinted its eyes and then gave a dismissive snort.

“Very well. The short answer… is nothing. Your mind and body are here. Any damage to either your mind or body is not repaired when you die. It never existed in the first place. Only your soul is sent back in ti. The mories you have of previous lifetis reside within your soul. That is why they feel disconnected. The only mories that are ‘real’ to you are the ones currently in your mind.

“You don’t have to worry about any damage to either your mind or your body. When you die, your soul will be brought here and any damage to your mind will have never existed. Damage to your soul is a different story though, and you have been caused quite a lot of damage there with your little pantomi earlier.”

After saying this, it gave a dismissive look.

“That is the only question I will answer. We will not be having this conversation again. Leave this place. Explore this world. Try not to die.”

He began to walk away but then looked back at .

“Oh, one last thing. In the past, you have received ‘discounts.’ That was . I used the energy of the Earthly Dao to make up for the shortfall in credits. I only did this because forcing you into a situation where suicide was your only option served no purpose. Don’t expect any such favors in the future. Handle everything from here on out by yourself.”

With that, the incarnation vanished.
