Seized by the System

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Gu Buwei left, he found an Internet cafe and went online.

He did not have the System's ability to connect to wireless network signals anytime and anywhere.

A search for 'Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique' showed the general outline.

"The numerosity and intricacy of cultivation methods has rendered cultivation inaccessible for ordinary people. Thus, all shall be combined into one. All who possesses nine orifices are able to cultivate the Nine Transformations Golden Core Technique. The first transformation is to gather the essence. The second transformation is to converge the Qi. The third transformation requires a condensation of the spirit. The fourth transformation is when the Core will be formed. The fifth transformation will escalate the Core, and the sixth transformation will foster the sapience of the Core. The technique will be completed by the seventh transformation, and the cultivator will become a presence akin to buddhas or immortals… A mysterious realm lies beyond the eighth transformation, one that is only privy to holy immortals and buddhas…"

With Gu Buwei's qualifications, he understood the main points at a glance.

It was a supreme ability of standardizing cultivation magical energy. The magical energy cultivated was impartial and moderate, and could be easily absorbed and utilized by others…

'This Venerable Dragon God really is a sage of both ancient and modern times. He's so selfless. If it were others who found this ability, they would definitely hide it away and secretly gather a group of disciples with good qualifications to use them as furnaces.

'It'd be like those novels. The disciples would cultivate the abilities, and then the master would absorb everything. That way, even lazy people would be able to quickly accumulate magical energy.

'However, this bottleneck requires a person's comprehension. That's something an outsider wouldn't be able to do alone.'

He thought silently. He did not manage any brilliant achievements after squatting at the crater for more than half a year, but the time had also passed smoothly. He just had lesser contact with the outside world, so he did not even know that this technique had been spread on the internet, and had to be specially notified by the Venerable Dragon God. This was something that he had to pay attention to in the future.

That was especially true for the people in the mountain. They always believed that the mountain was rich in resources and they led the way in cultivation. They thought that their individual qualifications were excellent and once they left the mountain, they would be able to shake the world.

As a result, they seldom communicated with the outside world, but the outside world changed with each passing day. Yesterday's leaders did not mean today's victors.

Gu Buwei began to download the technique data and heard someone talking beside him.

"Hey, you there, you look pretty extraordinary, you're probably from an impressive background, right?" Why're you practicing such a commonplace technique like that?" A middle-aged man wearing shorts in the middle of winter shook his head and said.

"Haha, I think this ability is quite good." Gu Buwei lightly said.

"Ah, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Everything on the Internet is free, how can they be good? In the early years, many people also tried using martial arts scriptures from the internet and attempt to cultivate, but it was useless. Cultivation cripples can be found anywhere, this news has been spread on the Internet long ago! What factions wouldn't deeply hide away truly amazing abilities?" The shorts middle-aged man said disdainfully.

"Oh, that makes sense." Gu Buwei saw that the downloading progress had only reached 1%. It would not be finished anytime soon.

This ability was different from the ones he learned before. It was illustrated with pictures and diagrams, and even had videos, as of for fear that others would not be able to learn it. It was more than 10GB in size.

Seeing that Gu Buwei seemed to waver, the shorts middle-aged man immediately revealed his true intentions and took out a USB flash drive and said eagerly, "I have an entire set of divine ability cultivation videos passed down on from the ancestors. With just 19,800, you can take this back home. You're guaranteed to cultivate it successfully. Whether you want to form a Golden Core or a Nascent Soul 1 , it'll be a cinch. It might be a little expensive, but it's still more reliable than that free one…"

Gu Buwei did not know whether to laugh or to cry. There really were too many swindlers and not enough fools. He was quite remarkable to actually come across one himself.

However, it was normal. He was dressed in a long and antique robe. At first glance, he looked like someone who was crazy about cultivation. Plus, he was fastidious and had no belongings, so he was not willing to purchase it.

Thus, it was natural that he would become a target for swindlers.

He could not be bothered to chat anymore, and with a wave of his sleeve, the man was sent flying out of the Internet cafe, never to be seen again.

The surrounding people surfing the net who were expecting to see a joke were all shocked to see that. After a long time, that swindler had actually encountered an expert…

In other words…

Someone's eyes suddenly flashed, and he quickly went online to download a set of the Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique.

Although this technique showed up a while ago, the lessons in the early years were too bitter. Most of the passers-by simply watched and waited for little white mice to appear.

On the contrary, those who succeeded in cultivation were selfish and very few of them would publicize themselves online. Therefore, it merely circulated for a while. The number of cultivators was not many.

This was what happened when most good things appeared. They would not become popular overnight, but would be accepted by the masses in a process.

Now, a real cultivator said that it was quite good.

This cultivator obviously came out from those deep mountains and forests. It was unlikely that this was his first time seeing this technique.

A person quickly went online and shared a vivid picture of what had just happened.

Others secretly approached the boss and asked him to tune the video earlier. After all, only with a video would it be able to go viral… The truth cannot be revealed without any pictures.

…

In the System Space.

Fang Ning just finished settling a matter and was feeling quite good, so he went online…

Before long, he saw a video circulating of Gu Buwei angrily swiping at the swindler.

He immediately took credit and said, "Look, I just asked you to casually say a few sentences to Gu Buwei, and he helped us advertise for free. With this, the Chinese people's enthusiasm to cultivate this technique will surely increase greatly. In the future, it'd definitely become something similar to the basic techniques in novels. At that time, the world will only think that those rare and precious techniques are amazing, but they won't know that a commonplace technique like this is the true work of perfection.

"Oh, is that so? You've laid out this plan for so long, but I've never used it before. I don't really know when I'll be able to use it either. It's a waste of my investment." Sir System complained.

" It takes ten years to nurture a tree, but a hundred years to train a man 2 . Don't be so eager for quick success and instant benefits, sometimes you should also do some things with a future goal in mind. This is the difference between us. You're only able to see what happens in the next few days, but I can see what happens in the next hundred years…" Fang Ning said triumphantly.

"Hm, I might not be able to see what'll happen in the next hundred years, but I know that if you achieve longevity, you'll definitely procrastinate everything by a few hundred years…" The System retorted.

"You, you… you're too unreasonable. How could I procrastinate to that point?" Fang Ning felt flustered and guilty.

What Sir System said might actually come true.

He said quickly, "I won't waste time with you anymore. I'm going to check on the four wolves you captured. They should be pretty useful."

"Ah, I locked them all up in the arena in the Draconic Penitentiary's second floor. Be careful." The System ordered.

"I have the Earthly Monument treasure protecting me. If I'm not afraid outside, then it's impossible for me to be afraid in my own home ground." Fang Ning said confidently.

"Damn it, that Heavenly Monument frog has never been so harmonious with me. It really needs a beating…" The System was instantly dissatisfied upon hearing him.

"Oh my, why are you always so grumpy? A System should be patient and move others with morality. That frog was tortured so miserably by you, so even if it looks obedient on the surface, it's heart definitely won't accept you. How do you expect it to be harmonious when its heart is refusing you?" Fang Ning took the opportunity to lecture.

After all, the relationship between the green-skinned frog and himself was quite good now. He looked at it like a little brother.

"Ah, that's too slow. The stick is more efficient." Sir System disagreed.

Fang Ning was temporarily speechless, and could only go to the Draconic Penitentiary to visit the four wolves.
