Chapter 2, One-Click Hosting, Online Delivery of Death
In the next moment, Pei Ling watched in astonishment as he kicked open the door to Zheng Jingshan's room and swaggered in.
The system showed no response to his reminders, controlling his body to swiftly move towards a corner. With a clear objective, he opened one of the several boxes scattered on the ground and took out a porcelain vial, deftly pouring out ten grayish-white pills.
However, just as he returned to his own courtyard and packed his luggage at the fastest speed, before he could leave the Pei residence, he was caught up by a servant who called out: "Seventh Young Master, the head of the family has summoned all the young masters and young ladies to the main hall now"
No wonder the ancients said, "Cheating brings temporary pleasure, but continuous cheating brings continuous pleasure"
He had heard many such rumors: a young master from a certain noble family did not pay his respects upon encountering a disciple of the Chongming Sect, and as a result, his entire family was exterminated overnight, with their skins hung on trees; ... a disciple of the Chongming Sect took a liking to a young lady from a certain noble family, and when that family did not voluntarily send the young lady to the disciple, the entire family was drained of their vital essence by that disciple of the Chongming Sect
The system commanded his body to swiftly navigate around the screen at the entrance. Inside was an exceptionally spacious room, elegantly furnished. The carved moon gate leading to the inner chamber was adorned with a beaded curtain, which swayed gently at this moment, producing a melodious sound
Immediately afterwards, a more terrifying scene unfolded. His body showed no intention of leaving; he merely turned around, walked to a nearby mat, assumed a meditative posture, swallowed all ten Bone Refining Pills, and began to operate the Bone Forging Technique
After all, he had crossed over from a society of prosperity, democracy, civilization, and harmony, and through sheer willpower, he had cultivated the Bone Forging Technique to the level of half-iron bones. Although he was caught off guard by this foolish system, in a moment of crisis, he quickly calmed down: "System, do you notice what is behind you?"
Regarding talent, he can be considered one of the most outstanding members of the Pei family in this generation, not inferior to Pei Hongnian
One might sense his collapse, as the system kindly chimed, "The Intelligent Cultivation System is at your service, one-click hosting, intelligent training!"
Time passed gradually... Pei Ling became increasingly immersed in the exhilarating sensation of his continuously improving strength. Especially with the sound of metal clashing, his entire body trembled, his muscles and bones quivered, and his pores opened wide, expelling a layer of dark red filth resembling grease. In the next moment, Pei Ling felt as if he had suddenly broken through a barrier, as if his whole being had shed some kind of restraint, filled with boundless energy
"The third layer of Qi training, the iron bones have already formed!" Pei Ling was taken aback, even forgetting that he was not in his own room, his face displaying astonishment.
Under normal circumstances, being noticed by a beauty is a privilege, especially when any one of these beauties can be described as stunningly beautiful and captivating, a sight that no straight man would refuse.
It seems that as long as he is willing, he could punch a large hole in the stone wall of the room.
Pei Ling could not help but feel a tremendous shock in her heart
Muttering the word "gou", Pei Ling casually gave the system a one-star review and decided to hurry back to pack up and flee
Pei Ling felt as if he were about to spit blood; he was now completely unable to control his own body and could only watch helplessly as the system manipulated him straight towards the main house on the west side of Biwu Courtyard
How dare you call this a gift of Bone Refining Elixir
Do not be deceived by the immense power of the Pei residence in Luchuan City, where it can summon the winds and call the rain; in the eyes of the Chongming Sect, the entire Pei residence is but an ant.
As for the reason
Until Pei Ling climbed over the wall and exited Biwu Courtyard, he could still feel the gaze of hundreds of people quietly and intently watching his back
However, Zheng Jingshan possesses profound cultivation, and equally remarkable is his notorious reputation. It is rumored that he once went so far as to kill his own father in order to compete for the position of inner sect pulse master, extracting his soul and refining it into a bloodline divine ability of extraordinary power, which shone brilliantly during the inner sect competition of the Chongming Sect, earning him fame in a single battle
He discovered that after taking the Bone Tempering Pill, the speed of the Bone Forging Technique's operation was noticeably more than ten times faster than before
Uncertain of the reason, although the feeling of being watched gradually faded after Pei Ling walked away, he still had a vague premonition that he seemed to have gotten himself into big trouble
No, if he knew the "gift" method of this foolish system, he would never give it the chance to control him to come to Zhengjing Mountain House.
Seeing the system remain unresponsive, Pei Ling's entire consciousness was on the verge of shattering: "Damn it, I don't want you to cultivate anymore, stop! Hurry up and stop! I swear, you better stop, do you hear me???"
Although it is unclear what the issue with this screen is, it is evident that it is not to be taken lightly
Pei Ling : `` ... ... ''
Now we can only hope that Zheng Jingshan will be more ruthless. Since he has accepted Pei Hongnian's invitation to visit, he should at least give some face to his fellow disciples. When he is not in the room, he should leave certain measures to restrict this screen, to avoid accidentally harming the people of the Pei residence
Regardless of what they were doing, their gaze was fixed on Pei Ling
Pei Ling furrowed her brow, not having the time to think much, and quickly got up to leave
Pei Ling was on the verge of spitting blood
Ding dong! At the same time, Pei Ling regained control over his body, and a prompt sound from the system echoed in his ears: "This training session has been completed. Thank you, host, for using the Intelligent Training System. One-click management, ascend without worries! We look forward to your feedback on the training. If satisfied, please give a five-star rating!"
It is easy to imagine how perilous this Biyu Courtyard is at present
He frantically turned over thoughts, hoping to regain control of his body, but the system remained indifferent, and his struggles were clearly in vain
Bang
Moreover, if Zheng Jingshan were present, given the temperament and cultivation of this esteemed disciple of the Chongming Sect, it is likely that Pei Ling would have already met his demise on the spot the moment he kicked the door open
It is very simple; weakness is the original sin
But soon, he had no time to pay attention to the door, as he discovered the numerous sources of gazes directed at him: the screen at the entrance.
Fortunately, as their arms extended just one foot beyond the screen, they encountered an invisible barrier, letting out a delicate cry as if in pain, and reluctantly withdrew.
Although it was impossible to take action against Pei Ling, the gazes of all the beautiful women never left Pei Ling.
System! Stop! This is not a place I should be!" Pei Ling shouted in his heart, as the Chongming Sect, being a major force in the demonic path, has always been known for its strong and ruthless demeanor
It is imperative to immediately flee a thousand miles away to avoid the impending threat to one's life
Although they are figures embroidered onto the fabric, the sensation of being closely watched by a real person feels almost tangible
And now, this system has only cultivated for a few hours, yet it has transformed him from a half-iron body at the second level of Qi Refinement into a complete iron body, breaking into the third level of Qi Refinement
Currently residing here is Zheng Jingshan, a disciple of the Chongming Sect
The panel materializes, the familiar five stars await the host's selection
Thus, it took a full ten years to reach the second layer of Qi training just two months ago
I am furious! Pei Ling felt a darkness enveloping him, and he roared in his mind, "System! Are you dissatisfied with me and want to change hosts?"
Pei Ling, still unwilling to give up, urged the system to remain calm, when suddenly she felt someone at the door staring at her
The most terrifying aspect is that, including the city of Luquan, everyone believes that it is not the disciples of the Chongming Sect who are at fault, but rather those aristocratic families.
At this moment, Pei Ling slightly clenched his fist, feeling the surging power throughout his body, and suddenly felt that the system didn't seem so detestable after all
If it were him, he would have already turned around and left at this moment, the farther he goes, the better
Resources for collateral descendants are scarce, and they are further suppressed by their stepmothers. Additionally, the cultivation of the Bone Refinement Technique is excessively brutal. He also needs to accumulate spirit stones to activate the system, and throughout the entire cultivation process, he is reluctant to use even nourishing medicinal materials, relying solely on his innate recovery ability to endure it.
This is clearly the Bone Quenching Pill
He began to strengthen his body at the age of five. At eight, he underwent a qualification test conducted by the elders of the family and was granted the Bone Forging Technique. Shortly thereafter, he cultivated his energy and opened his meridians, becoming a practitioner at the first layer of Qi training
Remaining in the Pei residence, he will have no power to resist once Zheng Jingshan makes a move
One of them has never appeared in public, and it is acceptable that their appearance, cultivation, and temperament are unknown to others
MMP! MMP!! System, did you hear that?! MMP!!!
This is already considered above average among peers in Luquan City
At this moment, Pei Ling recalled the fear of being dominated by various artificial intelligences in her previous life
Pei Ling, even though she cannot control her body at present, feels a deep-seated chill from within.
Zheng Jingshan
Ding dong! Ten Bone Refining Pills have been gifted, the gifting is complete! The intelligent system continues to assist you in your cultivation...
This position allowed Pei Ling to see the entrance, and the system didn't even bother to close the door!
But he soon sensed that something was amiss, as the gaze from behind seemed to belong to more than one person
Isn't it a thousand meters to send someone off
At this point, Pei Ling turned his thoughts back to his own body
The Pei residence can no longer be stayed in; I must leave immediately! Pei Ling's heart sank, and she could not afford to worry about the screen. The system's method of gifting was too perilous. Although she was not caught on the spot by Zheng Jingshan, this person was a high-ranking practitioner of the demonic path. Who knows what means he might have to discover her infiltration and theft
However, soon, the gaze that seemed to follow him on the screen made him realize.
The Chongming Sect has sent two disciples to Luquan City, invited by the sect's heir, Pei Hongnian, to stay at the Biwu Courtyard
The Dark Abyss Sect... His heart sank; the demonic sect was indeed mysterious
On the semi-transparent screen, reminiscent of worldly gauze, are embroidered hundreds of exquisite beauties, each vividly alive, with figures both plump and slender, embodying the utmost grace and beauty. Some hold fans, some chase butterflies, some embrace pipa, some casually pluck the strings of a zither, and some playfully break branches to tease a cat... Their postures are diverse.
The issue is that these beauties are not normal
Moreover, the rooms that the Pei family uses to entertain distinguished guests are all arranged with specialized formations, which are far more infused with spiritual energy than Pei Ling's own courtyard. He can clearly perceive that his cultivation is rapidly increasing at an unprecedented speed
The law of the jungle is a natural order—those who are born and raised in the territory of the Chongming Sect, after generations of domestication, have largely accepted the values of the Chongming Sect deep in their bones, regardless of whether they have joined the sect, and have become accustomed to it, firmly believing in it.
As he stepped out, passing by the screen, despite his efforts to maintain distance, he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye of the beauties behind the screen, several of whom reached out their hands as if wanting to tug at his robe
