章節 4: Chapter 4
After searching for a few minutes, Xu Lin suddenly came to a realization.
'I don't have a good weapon. The only thing I have is that sword I got from that sh*tty wheel. Guess I'll have to make do with just that.'
Xu Lin took out the sword from his inventory and started swinging it around. As he slowly got used to the weight of the sword, his swings became faster and heavier, to the point where they could easily slice through a tree.
However, while he was practicing his sword skills, Xu Lin's senses suddenly picked up another presence eyeing him a predatory gaze. Turning his body around, Xu Lin found himself face to face with a giant wolf-like creature, about 1.5 meters in height. Based on the density of its profound energy, he judged it to be around the beginning of the Nascent Profound Realm.
To say that he didn't feel nervous would be a lie. This was Xu Lin's first taste of battle in this world, and he didn't know what to expect. Taking a few deep breaths, Xu Lin calmed his nerves and steeled his heart.
'Sharingan, activate!'
Xu Lin's eyes suddenly transformed, becoming crimson-red in color. He felt time slow down, and Xu Lin could clearly see the wolf's movements and how it would attack. Quickly identifying the weak points of the wolf, Xu Lin shot out with terrifying speed.
As the wolf pounced and attempted to bite at his throat, the youth suddenly disappeared from its line of sight. Confused, the wolf looked all around, but it could not find any sign of Xu Lin, who seemingly vanished into thin air. However, it was at this moment when a sword filled with profound energy came down upon the wolf's neck, chopping it clean off. Detached from its head, the body of the beast slumped to the forest floor, while Xu Lin fell to the ground gasping for air.
'That was a close one. If the wolf was any faster, then my genjutsu would not have been casted on time, and I would be injured. Well, not that it matters that much, since I can just insta-heal myself, but I'd rather not experience the pain of being stabbed.'
'Sharingan, deactivate.'
Searching for a pond nearby, Xu Lin found one and started scrubbing the blood off his blade. As he was cleaning it though, he caught sight of his reflection in the water.
"Oh my god..."
These words unconsciously spilled out of his mouth. What he saw in the water was an exceedingly handsome youth with long, waist-length silver hair which reflected the sunlight and azure eyes that sparkled like diamonds. While his face wasn't very masculine, it couldn't be considered overly feminine either. He seemed to be fairly tall, at around 6 feet (about 182 cm), and possessed a toned and chiseled body. The youth emitted a gentle and noble aura, and his features could be likened to blooming lotus flowers.
(Looks like the cover art except less feminine)
'With these looks, I might even fall in love with myself... Just kidding, I'm not a narcissist. But seriously, this is way too much. Did my body somehow change because I received the system? And my voice too...'
Because he had always communicated with the system in his mind, Xu Lin had never actually spoken yet. That exclamation was the first time he talked after reincarnating. His voice was neither domineering nor overbearing. It possessed a melodious tone that could soothe the heart and calm the soul.
'This appearance will definitely bring trouble in the future. I need to learn a disguise technique sooner or later before I meet anyone.'
[Host, instead of falling in love with yourself, you should check if that wolf you just killed contains a profound core. These cores have many uses, such as boosting your cultivation, making medicines, or forging weapons. Alternatively, you can also sell the profound core to the system in exchange for credits, but it will be absorbed by the system in the process.]
Using his sword, Xu Lin cut the corpse of the wolf into many parts and started searching. After some time, he caught a glimpse of a dull light. Xu Lin grabbed onto that speck of light and retrieved what appeared to be a small bead.
[Congratulations, host. You have obtained a Nascent Profound Core.]
'How much can I sell it for?'
[Here is the list for the selling prices of profound cores for the nine mortal realms:
(No Elementary Profound Cores)
Nascent Profound Core - 5,000 credits
True Profound Core - 15,000 credits
Spirit Profound Core - 50,000 credits
Earth Profound Core - 150,000 credits
Sky Profound Core - 500,000 credits
Emperor Profound Core - 1,000,000 credits
Tyrant Profound Core - 2,500,000 credits
Sovereign Profound Core - 5,000,000 credits]
Xu Lin considered his options. If he sold the profound core, he would gain 5,000 credits, adding up to a total of 10,100 credits. However, he could also use it as a cultivation booster, and the core should contain enough energy to allow him to break through to the Nascent Profound Realm.
After thinking for a while, Xu Lin made his decision.
'I'll use it to cultivate. While skills and abilities are important, cultivation serves as one's foundation.'
With that having been said, Xu Lin absorbed the energy from the profound core and circulated it throughout his veins. A massive amount of profound energy surged throughout his body, and his cultivation jumped from the 10th level of the Elementary Profound Realm to the 1st level of the Nascent Profound Realm.
'Alright, I've reached my goal for now. My main objective at present is to enter Floating Cloud City and engage in the plot. But first, system, how much does a basic disguising technique cost?'
[System recommends the "Basic Disguise" skill (2500 Credits) for the host. It will allow the host to change his appearance, and only spirit profound realm practitioners and above will be able to see through your technique.]
'I'll get that then. Also buy a set of cultivator's clothes.'
[Ding! Host has purchased "Cultivator's robes" for 100 credits]
Xu Lin transformed his appearance into that of his past life. After putting on his cultivator's robes, he exited the forest and continued on the road leading to Floating Cloud City.
