Chapter 1: Crossing Over into the System
Ling Mai, what a joke. Nowadays, all the large and small spiritual veins on the True Martial Continent have been occupied by various sects. Wanting to use the spiritual vein to hatch this exotic beast egg is also unrealistic.
"Lulu, can't you come up with some constructive suggestions?" Huang Yu said somewhat helplessly.
"Of course, there's another way, that is for the master to exchange it from the system, as long as the master has enough life energy, it's also possible to let this exotic egg hatch directly, and even make it hatch immediately." Lulu said with a light smile.
"That's still not going to work." Huang Yu heard this and refused without hesitation. This guy needed a million-year-old stone stalactite to hatch, and if he wanted to exchange for it, the amount of life energy required would be astronomical. To make this exotic egg hatch immediately, he estimated that he would have to overdraft countless years of his own life.
It's a pity, an extreme pity, this one exotic egg is just like chicken ribs, it's a waste to discard it but eating it is tasteless.
"Of course, there's another way, that is to complete a task. If the master completes an S-level task, they can unlock the pet space. At that time, the master can make this exotic beast egg recognize its owner and hatch in the pet space, which will be much faster. I estimate it'll take about three months, and after three months, it'll hatch." Lulu said.
Three months, this is a good thing, but can S-level tasks be completed so easily?
"What task?"
"This task was originally supposed to start when the master's cultivation reached the Human Infant Realm, but since the master obtained this exotic beast egg ahead of time, this task has also started ahead of time. However, this task is very difficult." Lulu blinked her beautiful big eyes and swung her white and tender long legs as she said.
"My mission on the Path of Nature is very difficult, what exactly is the mission? Tell me about it?" S-level missions are indeed very challenging, Huang Yu was naturally aware of this, otherwise, those S-level missions would be too worthless.
"The task is to kill a strong person in the Lei Jie boundary or to kill a four-stage Xuan beast."
"Hmmph..."
Huang Yu immediately spat it out, what a joke, his current cultivation was only Innate Completion, not even reaching the Human Infant Realm, and yet he said to let him kill a strong Thunder Tribulation cultivator, this was too ridiculous. With his current cultivation, killing a Human Infant Realm strong cultivator was still somewhat difficult, let alone killing a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, it was simply impossible. And yet he was told to go kill a Thunder Tribulation strong cultivator, this was simply a fantasy, an utterly impossible thing to achieve.
"Lulu, are you kidding me?" Huang Yu was extremely frustrated. Saying this was the same as not saying it at all. Since it couldn't be done, it might as well not have been said.
Lulu rolled her eyes and said, "Didn't I just say that this task was originally supposed to be released when the master reached the Human Infant Realm? It's just being released ahead of schedule. Besides, if S-level tasks were that easy, they wouldn't be called S-level tasks."
"Whatever, I didn't say anything." Huang Yu was extremely depressed. This task, even if someone's cultivation reached the Human Infant Realm, might not be able to complete it.
"This task has no time limit, and it doesn't matter what method the master uses. As long as the master kills a strong Thunder Tribulation cultivator, that's all that matters. Whether they're alive and kicking or on the verge of death, as long as that Thunder Tribulation strongman dies at the hands of the master, that's enough." Lulu said.
"Really?" Huang Yu's chin dropped, this wasn't impossible after all. He could administer medicine and think of various methods. Although the probability of success was still low, at least it was possible to do so, unlike what he had imagined as being extremely difficult. However, this required an opportunity; without a suitable chance, without the right timing, location, and people, there was no way to succeed. "Then let's just accept it, anyway, there's no time limit."
"Ding, player, accept S-level task: kill a Thunder Realm strongman or kill a 4th-order Xuan beast. Time unlimited. Task reward: unlock pet space."
"Agreed."
"Alright, Rourou has told master everything she needed to say, now Rourou is going back to sleep, goodbye master." After that, Rourou's figure disappeared.
……
……
Gu Tian saw Huang Yu not speaking for a long time, thinking that Huang Yu was heartbroken, so he comforted him: "Xian nephew doesn't have to be heartbroken. This alien beast is not something that anyone can get. Even in the Zhongyuan Sword Sect, such a large sect, there are only two alien beasts. It can be seen how precious this alien beast is. Moreover, this time Xian nephew still made a profit. Although this alien egg is dead and has no vitality, selling it out would be worth at least 1,000 middle-grade spirit stones."
"Ah…… thank you, Uncle Gu. I'm not sad, just thinking about things. As for this exotic egg, although it's lost its vitality, I don't want to sell it either. Keeping it can serve as a memento, and who knows, it might even be useful in the future." Huang Yu said with a faint smile.
"That's good, it's getting late too. My dear nephew, you should get a good rest today, and tomorrow I'll introduce my daughter to you. She's a great beauty, don't stare at her with wide eyes then." After saying that, Gu Tian couldn't help but burst out laughing.
……
……
At night, Huang Yu was in the small courtyard he had arranged for himself at Gu Tian.
During the day, I had a huge harvest, with over 1,000 mid-grade spirit stones, which is a huge fortune.
Now I'm in trouble myself, although I've earned over a thousand mid-grade spirit stones, the trouble is absolutely not small. There are at least ten people eyeing the Thousand Year Jade Heart, and possibly even more.
If it weren't for Gu Tian, I might be a corpse by now.
Thinking of this, Huang Yu felt a lingering fear.
The current top priority is to enhance one's own strength, if there isn't enough strength, unless staying in the Divine Stone Pavilion or Ancient Heaven, otherwise once going out, will definitely be pursued and killed.
Huang Yu thought quietly to himself.
Should I exchange the spirit stone for life energy and upgrade my cultivation?
In 1021 pieces of medium-grade spirit stones, equivalent to 102100 pieces of low-grade spirit stones. Exchanging them for life energy would be 102100 times 500, which is 51 million points of life energy.
Moreover, now that I have the Thousand Year Jade Heart, if I can exchange it for a Great Realm with my life, I won't have to worry about going crazy at all. Unfortunately, the exchange is limited, and in a month, I can only exchange for one Great Realm at most. If not, I could exchange for cultivation to the maximum limit.
"Ding, will the player exchange their cultivation?"
Exchange.
"Ding, congratulations player, cultivation has been upgraded to Yuan Dan realm, consuming 4 pieces of low-grade spirit stone."
"Ding, congratulations player, cultivation has been upgraded to Yuan Dan realm second layer, consuming 6 pieces of low-grade spirit stone."
"Ding, congratulations player, cultivation has been upgraded to Yuan Dan realm third layer, consuming 8 pieces of low-grade spirit stone."
……
"Ding, congratulations player, cultivation has been upgraded, reaching Yuan Dan realm 10th layer (perfection), consuming 22 pieces of lower-grade spirit stones."
Cultivation rose by a major level, and 132 pieces of low-grade spirit stones were consumed.
But it was worth it, two pieces of medium-grade spirit stones were almost enough to raise his cultivation by a major level, reaching the completion of the Yuan Dan realm. If there weren't any restrictions, his cultivation could have directly advanced to the Human Infant realm.

Huang Yu looked at his own attributes, but they had undergone a huge change. Originally, the attributes were basic attributes, plus cultivation improvements, and then added to the weapon's efficacy amplification. Now, however, he only saw a single number, and all of them were 999. This left Huang Yu somewhat bewildered. Had the system malfunctioned or been infected with a virus?
"Lulu, Lulu come out quickly."
Lu Lu heard this, yawned and said drowsily with great dissatisfaction: "What's wrong now? I was sleeping so soundly. You're really cruel, master."
"Lulu, look at this! My attributes have changed like this? Attack, dodge, and defense are all the same now. Is there something wrong with the system?" Huang Yu said.
"This is because the master's cultivation has advanced to a higher level, breaking through the innate boundary, so the system automatically upgraded itself. From now on, the amplification of skills and weapons will no longer be displayed, this is an attribute of the master's own cultivation." Lulu explained helplessly, "If the master's cultivation breaks through to the Human Infant Realm, then the master's combat power will become 1000. However, there is a problem later on, that is, the master can only upgrade his cultivation to 1999 using life energy, which is the first layer of the Human Infant Realm. If the master wants to break through the first layer of the Human Infant Realm, he must rely on himself to comprehend, this is the system's limitation."
"What...what...how can this be?" Hearing Rourou's explanation, Huang Yu was as if struck by lightning. "This system is also too scamming, right?"
This means that one cannot continuously improve oneself with life, and each time can only allow one's strength to reach the peak of each small level. Breaking through bottlenecks requires relying on oneself, which is really too frustrating.
It used to be so easy to improve one's cultivation, but now it's really frustrating.
"Don't blame others then, Master. This is actually for your own good." Lulu explained to Huang Yu, seeing him so indignant.
"Is this for my own good? Is this what they call doing something for my own good? If so, I'd rather things stayed the way they were." Huang Yu shouted indignantly.
