Chapitre 31: Boundless Mystery Gift

"I wonder how much more this cultivation thing can surprise me, hahaha," I thought as I laughed.

Initially, I had zero interest in this cultivation thing. I was only going to focus on "NTRing" these sons of destiny or whatever the system calls them, and my father too, just to revive my mother. Then I thought of living in seclusion as a mortal in the lower realm. But with the power a cultivator can have, I've decided otherwise.

"No matter what, I must have such powers. I must have such powers, and I'll get them. At whatever cost, if I have to NTR others to get such powers or cultivate for years, I'll do it."

"And in the process, even if I become the whole world's enemy, I don't care. I will do whatever it takes to gain such powers and become the sole ruler of this world." My determination to become the strongest grew stronger as my heartbeat quickened and my breath became a bit ragged.

"Are you the strongest in our family, Grandpa?" I asked, as I didn't know much about our ancestors.

"Haha, no, I'm not the strongest. I think I'm about the 20th strongest or so, haha," he said, laughing heartily.

"Damn, such powers and only ranking at 20th? How many monsters do we have hidden in the Shung family?" I thought, my surprise knowing no bounds.

"How many ancestors do we have?" I asked, wanting to know more.

"Maybe about 25 or 30. Who knows? I've only seen 23 ancestors. I've only been alive for 10 million years now, so I don't know for sure," he said, not too sure himself.

"20 or 30, huh? I wonder how many ancestors the strongest clan in the divine realm has," I thought.

"Ahem, now that you've reached the age of 5, when usually one starts cultivation, you can go and choose a cultivation technique from the treasury," Grandpa said, crossing his legs and entering cultivation mode.

"So, it's finally time for me to cultivate too, huh!" I thought as I stood up and walked outside.

Once I was outside of the cultivation chamber, I started walking to the left...

"My new home... I wonder how much larger it is. I've been living here for 5 years and still don't know the extent of how large it is," I thought as I continued walking.

As I walked, I saw a maid with long black hair and blue eyes. She had a large bust and wide hips, wearing a tight maid outfit that accentuated her curves. The short skirt and apron completed her attractive appearance.

"Damn, if I were just 13 years older, I would've...," I thought, feeling a bit horny. Even though I was aroused, my little brother still hadn't woken up, which upset me a bit.

"Sigh, what's happening to me? Is this system corrupting my mind or something? I was never this lustful before," I wondered.

"Or is it that... I just haven't seen a maid with such a figure before?" I questioned myself.

"Sigh, let's just leave it at that. I should find a cultivation technique suitable for me and then start increasing my strength," I thought, letting out a sigh.

"Good morning, young lord," the maid greeted me with a smile and a slight bow.

"Hmm," I replied with a nod as I walked ahead. Then I remembered something that made me stop in my tracks.

"I don't know where the treasury is," I thought, realizing I had no clue about its location.

"I should have that maid lead me there," I decided, turning back.

"Ah, sister maid?" I called out, causing her to look back with a confused expression.

"Yes, young lord. How can I help you?" she asked, bowing slightly.

"Lead me to the treasury," I said, my tone authoritative and cold.

"Yes, young lord," she agreed and began walking ahead of me.

"Please follow me," she said as she led me.

###

After about 5 minutes of walking, we arrived before a wall. She touched it, causing it to open as she walked ahead.

We crossed more hidden doors as we continued downward. After another 5 minutes, we finally arrived before a large stone doorway at the entrance of the treasury.

The treasury had a large stone doorway hidden in a quiet courtyard, with two guards standing in front of it, wearing bright golden armor. Their faces were hidden by helmets, but their eyes were sharp. Each held a long spear, ready for action. The stone door behind them was carved with symbols, indicating the importance of what lay inside.

"Good morning, young lord," the guards greeted me with enthusiasm, excitement, and joy in their eyes, which caused me to raise an eyebrow.

"You may raise your heads," I said, my tone cold as I looked at them.

"Yes, young lord," they replied, lifting their heads.

"Are you here to choose your cultivation technique, young lord?" one of the guards asked, his tone curious.

"Yes. Now open the door for me," I said. They nodded in agreement, having been informed earlier by Ancestor Jiang that the young lord would be coming.

They then opened the large stone doorway. The door creaked as it opened, indicating its age.

The underground treasury was a large, clean room with a high ceiling. Tall bookshelves lined one side, filled with scrolls and books. One corner held stacks of gold coins and bars. Another corner had piles of high-quality spiritual ore.

Display cases on the floor showcased rare herbs and powerful artifacts. The air was quiet, with a faint smell of old books and treasure.

As I walked inside, I noticed that the maid who led me here didn't enter with me, which meant only I could go inside.

"Damn, just look at those shining stones and herbs. They must be precious," I thought, admiring the ores and herbs in the display cases.

[These items are rare enough to spark a war if even one were to leave this treasury.] The usually silent system commented, which didn't surprise me since this was the Shung family's treasury, one of the strongest families.

[Though I doubt this is their real treasury.] The system's unexpected comment made me question why.

"Why do you think so? It seems like a good enough treasury for such a family," I thought.

[If you look closely, there aren't many herbs or artifacts here. If it were truly the Shung family's main treasury, it would have better items and not just these.]

"That makes sense. Well, even if it's not, who cares? I'm only here to get myself a cultivation technique."

With that thought, I didn't waste any time and began looking through the bookshelf that had a variety of techniques.

"Immortal rank... divine rank... hmm... wait, what's this technique? Immortal Devouring Technique?" I thought.

"It's said to be a divine rank technique that allows the user to devour the cultivation of others after killing them to increase one's own cultivation. It can also absorb Qi from rare resources to rapidly increase one's cultivation," I thought, astonished by the description.

[I would advise you to choose this. It's a divine level technique that can be used forever without needing to change techniques and is highly coveted by the world for its effects.]

"If it's so highly coveted, then why has nobody used it and left it here?" I thought.

[Because nobody could comprehend the technique.]

"Then how will I be able to do it?" I thought.

[You don't have to worry. You still have a novice pack that you haven't opened yet. You might find something useful there.]

"Novice pack? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" I thought, confused as to why it didn't mention it sooner.

[I... forgot, host.]

"Sigh, since that's the case, let it be. I'll head back to my room and open that novice pack," I muttered as I walked out of the treasury and back to my room.

###

Yan Shung's room was large and luxurious. It featured a king-size bed with silk sheets. Shelves held books and artifacts he received for his birthday. The room was decorated with elegant furniture and artworks hanging on the walls, creating a calm and refined space.

In the king-size bed, a young man of 5 sat, looking at the system interface that only he could see.

"System, open the novice gift pack," he said with a straight face and a cold tone.

[Yes, host.]

[Ding, congratulations host on acquiring 1 Boundless Mystery Gift.]
