Chapter 2: The Chosen One Smiles, Realizing Things Are Not So Simple:
Looking at his own luck, Lin Ang couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
The original owner of this body had given his bloodline to his fiancée, willingly becoming a cripple for her. After this woman soared to success, she didn’t help the original owner at all but instead came to annul the engagement. Such ingratitude and betrayal!
“Fortunately... I have the system...” Lin Ang thought to himself. “One day, with a sword in hand, I will cut down all the disloyal people in the world!”
This cultivation world was indeed full of troubles, with sinister human hearts. To survive in this world, the most urgent task was to activate the Supreme Bone within his body and restore his own cultivation talent.
[Black Misfortune. Wealth Deliverer: A Supreme Bone is hidden in your body. Due to contamination by impure blood, it remains unactivated. After your death, it will be discovered by a sect elder and transplanted into their child]
So, it seemed that as long as he could remove the impure blood and impurities from his body, he could cleanse his marrow and refine his body. However, the elixirs capable of doing this were extremely precious. Even in the inner sect, only the top disciples had the privilege of using them. Currently, he has no chance.
“Now, with the system's support, I can scour the vicinity of the sect for opportunities... who knows what I might find.”
In the next second, Lin Ang quickly left his room.
...
The Azure Cloud Sect was located within the Kunxu Empire, considered a top-tier power in the entire domain. The sect housed countless strong cultivators and spanned hundreds of thousands of miles, comparable to a kingdom.
After leaving his room, Lin Ang walked quietly along the paved road in the outer sect.
From his understanding, luck was divided into seven levels: Black, White, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, and Gold. Black luck was misfortune, and unless protected by a system, those burdened with it were doomed.
On his way, many outer disciples hurried past him.
...
Name: Chen Tianqiang
White Luck. Great Escape: Ten days later, during a sect mission, he will be heavily injured in a beast tide attack but survive, gain enlightenment in a life-and-death situation, breakthrough into the 5th stage of the Body Refining Realm, and pass the inner sect assessment.
...
Name: Ye Piaopiao
White Luck. Fortunate Encounter: A month later, he will pass the sect assessment, join the inner sect, and be chosen by a profound elder for careful cultivation, eventually becoming a core inner disciple.
...
Name: Zhao Yifan
Black Misfortune. Inescapable Death: Half a month ago, he killed a 3rd-rank demonic beast’s cub during a hunt. A week later, he will be attacked and killed by a 3rd-rank demonic beast in the outer sect's back mountain.
...
As people rushed past, especially those shrouded in misfortune, Lin Ang saw them encircled by black and with a large 'death' character on their foreheads.
At this moment...
Hmm?
Not far ahead, an outer disciple stepped out from the library, looking dejected. His name was Chen Fan, the son of an outer sect elder named Chen Huo. Chen Fan’s sect performance had always been poor, and despite having a sect elder as a father, his cultivation talent was mediocre. Now seventeen, he was still at the 3rd stage of the Qi Refining Realm.
“Sigh... at this rate, I won’t have any hope of joining the inner sect... I’ll embarrass my father!” Chen Fan sighed to himself. He was heading to the outer sect's back mountain to burn some demonic beast corpses, one of the sect's routine tasks.
However...
In Lin Ang’s eyes, the dejected Chen Fan was actually blessed with golden luck!
Great Luck!
Name: Chen Fan
Yellow Luck. Rebirth: While burning demonic beast corpses in the back mountain, he will accidentally find a ‘Green Spirit Grass’ behind a cliff rock. This 3rd-rank spiritual herb will purify his body and rapidly enhance his cultivation to the 5th stage of the Qi Refining Realm!
...
Gold Luck!
Future Supreme: A month later, his father Chen Huo will transplant a complete Supreme Bone into him, making him the sect's favored son. A year later, you will join a Holy Land and marry a Holy Maiden!
...
Lin Ang was stunned.
So, this Chen Fan was the true chosen one! It seemed that his Supreme Bone was originally going to be obtained by Chen Fan, allowing him to join a Holy Land and marry a Holy Maiden.
This was the classic protagonist template!
Lin Ang smiled faintly.
'Hmm... your luck looks good.'
'It’s mine now!'
“Good morning, Senior Brother Chen Fan. Are you going to perform a sect task?”
Lin Ang approached and greeted him politely.
Chen Fan, surprised that the usually dispirited Lin Ang was greeting him, nodded with a smile. “Yes, I’m going to the back mountain to burn some demonic beast corpses.”
Lin Ang said directly, “How could I trouble Senior Brother Chen Fan with such a small task? How about I do it for you?”
Chen Fan understood immediately, thinking Lin Ang was doing it for the spirit stones. Lin Ang, having lost his talent, had fallen to the 1st stage of the Qi Refining Realm and couldn’t take sect tasks. It was common for higher-level disciples to take tasks and pass them to lower-level ones. Burning demonic beast corpses rewarded four lower-level spirit stones. As the elder's son, Chen Fan didn’t care for the reward, only wanting to meet the sect’s quota.
“Alright, after burning the demonic beast corpses, I’ll give you one lower-level spirit stone.” Chen Fan said, handing a token to Lin Ang.
Lin Ang took the token and left, thinking how cunning Chen Fan was.
In the sect, one could only be exploited without strength...
...
Lin Ang first went to the sect hall, collected several demonic beast corpses using the token, and then drove a cart toward the back mountain. After throwing the corpses into the incinerator, he went alone to the cliff. This place was rarely visited and overgrown with weeds.
After a while of searching, Lin Ang found a fiery red spiritual herb hidden behind a rock on the cliff. The herb was bright red, exuding pure medicinal power and well-concealed.
“A 3rd-rank spiritual herb, Green Spirit Grass!”
Feeling pleased, Lin Ang picked the herb. 3rd-rank spiritual herbs were extremely rare, even for core inner disciples, who needed to make significant contributions to the sect to use them.
“With this, I should be able to activate my Supreme Bone.” Lin Ang smiled, putting the herb in his pocket and returning to the inner sect with the cart.
Chen Fan, as agreed, gave Lin Ang a lower-level spirit stone.
“Thank you, Junior Brother Lin Ang.” Chen Fan smiled, thinking how easy it was to deal with Lin Ang, as one lower-level spirit stone was enough.
Lin Ang also smiled, feeling elated at reclaiming his luck.
As Lin Ang walked away, Chen Fan felt something strange, as if something important was slipping away from his life.
“Am I overthinking...?” Chen Fan dismissed the thought, resolving to focus on cultivation and aim to reach the 4th stage of the Qi Refining Realm by the next sect assessment.
Unbeknownst to him, the halo of the chosen one had already left him.
