Cultivate All You Want, Just Don't Ruin the Immortal World!

Chapter 10 – Child of Fortune Li Zhengtong

Under the guidance of Zhong Wende, Qin Yu and his group arrived at the living quarters for the miscellaneous disciples.

The Xuantian Sect truly lived up to its reputation as the largest sect in the Liang Kingdom. Even the cave abodes of the miscellaneous disciples were located in areas rich with spiritual energy, likely built atop a small spiritual vein.

Zhong Wende distributed door plates to everyone, which they could use to find their own cave abode.

Afterward, Zhong Wende handed out a cultivation technique to each person.

"This is the foundational technique of our Xuantian Sect, called the Xuantian Technique!"

Qin Yu thought to himself, 'What a casually chosen name!'

Zhong Wende continued, "Our sect's name actually originates from this technique!"

Qin Yu: "..."

"The Xuantian Technique has undergone seven improvements, the most recent being over a thousand years ago. Senior Know-it-all secluded himself for several months and successfully upgraded the Xuantian Technique to become one of the top techniques in the world, laying a solid foundation for our sect's current status."

'Is Know-it-all really that impressive?' Qin Yu was skeptical.

"Everyone here possesses a spiritual root. By following the steps in the book, you can quickly achieve Qi inflow and begin your cultivation practice.

If you still can't achieve Qi inflow, don't worry. In a week, the sect will arrange for a teacher to personally guide you.

Additionally, let me warn you, the Xuantian Technique must not be transmitted in any form. If the sect discovers it, you will be charged with treason and handed over to the Law-Enforcing Peak.

There was once an inner sect disciple who, relying on his high status, secretly taught the Xuantian Technique to his family.

You can ask around about how the sect dealt with him." Zhong Wende left it at that.

"The consequences are definitely not something you can bear.

Alright, your cave abodes are equipped with essential living supplies. You can go and settle in. We'll meet back here in half an hour to assign tasks!"

Everyone took their door plates and dispersed like birds and beasts.

***

"662... 663... found it, plate number 666!"

Qin Yu walked over and swiped the plate against the wall, causing the formation at the entrance to deactivate automatically.

Pushing open the door, Qin Yu surveyed his future little home.

Though called a cave abode, it wasn't a cave but a small wooden house.

In front of the wooden house was a small courtyard with an unknown large tree, giving it a quaint villa feel, quite peaceful.

Inside the wooden house, there was a wooden bed with neat sheets and bedding.

Qin Yu lay down and found the bedding softer than silk from his previous life, not knowing what material it was made of.

He had thought joining the sect would mean arduous cultivation, but life seemed pretty good.

"There are quite a few nice things here!"

Besides the bed, the room had a wooden table, a bottle of fasting pills, a sect rulebook, and two sect clothing customization vouchers.

Qin Yu wasn't particularly interested in the fasting pills, having just heard Zhong Wende mention that the sect's dining hall provided free food.

Who would eat tasteless fasting pills when there's free food?

Trash fasting pills, not even a dog would eat them.

The sect rules, however, needed careful study because Qin Yu believed that wherever there were rules, there were loopholes.

The sect clothing customization vouchers allowed for two sets of tailored clothing, which weren't required to be worn regularly, only on certain important sect occasions.

Only those who have experienced wearing school uniforms five days a week can understand how considerate this rule is.

Not only was it not mandatory, but the design was also so attractive.

Qin Yu inspected his little home inside and out.

Then he opened his backpack and hung his still slightly damp clothes outside to dry.

Finally, Qin Yu took out a few sheets of paper and a pen from his pocket and scribbled down "The Path to Immortality Starting as a Miscellaneous Disciple"!

This was a small hobby of his.

Having done all this, Qin Yu found himself with nothing to do.

Thinking he still had some time, Qin Yu decided to meet his neighbors.

Not all cave abodes were occupied; for instance, the 667 abode was unoccupied.

The 665 abode, however, had someone living in it. The two courtyards were separated by a low wall, and Qin Yu could see into the opposite courtyard by standing on a stool.

Qin Yu tentatively called out, "Brother, are you there?"

The owner of the 665 abode heard the noise and came out of the room.

"Oh, it's you!"

Qin Yu recognized the person as a fellow new disciple who had come with him under Zhong Wende's guidance.

Perhaps he had fallen behind while looking for his courtyard, as Qin Yu had already entered his house by the time he arrived.

So they hadn't met earlier.

Qin Yu looked him over, noting that he was about the same height as Qin Yu, slightly chubby, with a round face.

The person also recognized Qin Yu, and his expression immediately fell.

After all, Qin Yu had left a violent impression on everyone, having nearly beaten a prime minister's son to death.

Being neighbors with such a fearsome person, would he get beaten up?

Qin Yu smiled and asked, "How should I address you, brother?"

"I am Li Zhengtong!"

Qin Yu: "You seem a bit unhappy?"

Li Zhengtong was so startled that his chubby face trembled, and he quickly forced a smile that couldn't have been more fake, shaking his head vigorously, "No, no, I'm very happy, hahaha..."

"I'm Qin Yu, and we'll be neighbors from now on!"

As they chatted, Qin Yu assessed Li Zhengtong's talent.

He initially thought Li Zhengtong would have only a low-grade spiritual root with D-Rank talent.

But what popped up left Qin Yu dumbfounded.

[Tempered Through Trials (A-Rank)]: A jade must be carved to become a tool, a person must be honed to become talented. Only through enough trials can one become a true strongman... Often encounters difficulties and life-threatening situations, but crises and opportunities coexist. Surviving a crisis yields equivalent benefits.

[Survival Against All Odds (A-Rank)]: Favored by the heavens, always able to turn danger into safety, finding a way out of desperate situations!

[Formation Basics (C-Rank)]: Possesses a certain talent for formations, can easily grasp the basics, quickly learn formations, and skillfully apply them.

[Low-Grade Spiritual Root (D-Rank)]: Barely possesses cultivation talent, but not much, destined to be a miscellaneous disciple for life!

Qin Yu was stunned.

It turned out that the low-grade spiritual root was this guy's weakest talent.

This was Qin Yu's first time seeing A-Rank talent, and he saw two at once.

Moreover, Qin Yu noticed that these two A-Rank talents were clearly a golden combination.

Tempered Through Trials could make Li Zhengtong frequently encounter crises, and surviving them would yield benefits, while Survival Against All Odds ensured Li Zhengtong could safely navigate those crises.

The loophole was completely covered.

These two talents combined might be stronger than an S-Rank talent.

Could this be the Child of Fortune of this world, causing trouble wherever he went, but always managing to survive with his strong fate, and significantly increasing his strength?

Qin Yu casually asked, "So, have you been unlucky since childhood, often encountering danger?"

"No, not at all!"

Li Zhengtong was a bit at a loss, not knowing why Qin Yu asked this.

But as long as Qin Yu asked, he didn't dare not to answer.

'This guy probably isn't lying. Based on the effect of the Tempered Through Trials talent, if Li Zhengtong really encountered danger, he would definitely gain corresponding benefits.'

Qin Yu scrutinized Li Zhengtong but didn't see any signs of him having gained benefits.

'It seems the talent's effect isn't that strong after all.'
