A Cultivation Life Accompanied By A Beautiful Companion Is The Best (Patreon)

Chapter 1: After 12 Years In This New World, I Just Discovered That the Script Has Changed.

Mystic Spirit Continent, flourishing in the path of immortality, prospering in martial arts.

On the continent, various sects of cultivation thrived, and common folks took pride in being able to join an immortal sect.

A single step separates the path of immortals from those who are mortals.

At regular intervals, the Immortal Sects on the continent would recruit a group of disciples.

During that time, all eligible youths on the continent would rush to the recruitment points of the first-tier sects, testing their spiritual roots in the hopes of catching the attention of the immortal elders.

After the first-tier sects finished their recruitment, the remaining chosen children would then proceed to participate in the recruitment of second-tier sects.

If they were still not chosen by the second-tier sects, they would move on to the third-tier sects.

If the third-tier sects rejected them... then it would be the fourth-tier...

Until...

The ninth-tier sect—the entrance of Tianxuan Sect!

Our protagonist, Ye Xiyun, carried a bundle on his back and stared at the gate of Tianxuan Sect with a pair of lifeless eyes.

In front of him, a status panel that only he could see appeared.

[Name: Ye Xiyun

Age: 14

Spiritual Roots: Five Elements Spiritual Roots (Low-grade)

Talent: Immortal Martial Body (Inactive)]

That's right, Ye Xiyun had transmigrated. He transmigrated to Lingxi Province in Mystic Spirit Continent, in Lingxi Town, into the family of Town Chief Ye Wudao, becoming the sole son of Town Chief Ye Wudao after his mother passed away shortly after his birth.

Originally, Ye Xiyun thought his old man's name would be someone like a universe-destroying, continent-shattering, invincible boss who would retire to a countryside Town. However... After observing for fourteen years, this old man, apart from peeping at Widow Yang next door while she bathed and saving money to visit the Cuiyun Tower(1) in town, had almost no other skills.

Although his old man was a Town chief, there was no surplus food in the Town during this agrarian era. If Ye Xiyun wanted to live a good life, he had to rely on himself.

Therefore, Ye Xiyun, who originally wanted to enjoy a carefree childhood, had to display his extraordinary wisdom at the age of one—learning a thousand characters, reciting ancient poems at the age of two, familiarizing himself with the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of three, and by the age of four, he was already considered the hope of the entire Town, as everyone believed he was the incarnation of the God of Literature.

After establishing his prodigious child identity, at the age of four, Ye Xiyun began leveraging his status as the "son of a Town official" to devise two five-year plans for the Town's semi-small fries through manipulation.

With the help of these semi-small fries, Ye Xiyun managed to double the GDP of Lingxi Town every year, ultimately lifting the entire Town out of poverty and into prosperity.

Just as Ye Xiyun believed that after his old man retired, he would become the Town chief of Lingxi Town, and he could find two charming girls to marry and enjoy his days with innocent touches during the day and passionate intimacy at night, which would be quite pleasant.

After all, the twin girls from Aunt Liu's family next door in the neighboring Town were also of marriageable age. They not only had fair skin and slender figures but were also quite spirited.

But... just as Ye Xiyun was resigning himself to this fate, one day Ye Wudao suddenly said to him, "My child, there's an immortal sect recruiting disciples this year. Anyone who's twelve years old can go. You're already thirteen years old, will you go?"

And then Ye Xiyun was completely dumbfounded upon hearing that.

An immortal sect? Is the world I transmigrated into a cultivation world?

Why didn't anyone mention it in the Town before?

Upon inquiry, he found out that in Lingxi Town, it was rare for a disciple with spiritual roots to emerge in more than a decade. Therefore, the Immortal Sects, which used to recruit disciples every year, only visited Lingxi Town once every dozen or so years.

And when the immortals didn't come, if people from Lingxi Town wanted to try joining an immortal sect, they had to bear the expenses and travel to the sect for examination at their own cost.

Considering the impoverished state the Town was in, who had the money to send their children to the immortal sect? They couldn't even gather enough for the travel expenses.

The economic foundation determines the superstructure, and when people couldn't even have a proper meal, who would think of cultivating immortality?

But now, with Ye Wudao as the Town chief of Lingxi Town and the richest man in the Town, coupled with his own son's exceptional intelligence since childhood, everyone in the Town believed that if Ye Xiyun didn't possess spiritual roots, then no one in Lingxi Town could possibly have them.

So, after some thought, Ye Wudao decided to ask his son if he was willing to take a chance and venture into the immortal sect.

If he could enter the immortal sect, it would truly bring honor and glory to their ancestors.

When Ye Xiyun left Lingxi Town, the entire Town gathered at the Town entrance to bid him farewell.

When Ye Xiyun was leaving, he noticed his old man's joyful smile, presumably because without his son around, he could go to the Cuiyun Tower all day long. Of course, he probably didn't know that Ye Xiyun had secretly taken all the money he had saved to go to the Cuiyun Tower.

"Off I go!" With full confidence and the hopes of the entire Town, Ye Xiyun embarked on a journey, traversing mountains and crossing waters to reach the nearest first-tier sect for testing. However, his low spiritual roots in all five elements resulted in his immediate rejection from the sect.

At the same time as his spiritual roots were being examined, what awakened was the attribute panel that only he could see.

Upon seeing this panel, Ye Xiyun, who was initially somewhat disappointed, realized that if this were a novel, he had already transformed from a useless male protagonist to a system-based male protagonist.

However... Was this panel a bit too simple? It only displayed some text, and there didn't seem to be any other useful functions.

But even if it was simple, it was still a golden finger, right?

Then, as Ye Xiyun confidently left the first-tier sect, he left behind a phrase: "The river flows east for thirty years, then west for thirty years. Don't underestimate a poor youth."(2)

He was then kicked out by the second-tier sect.

"If one place doesn't accept me, there will be another. I'll go to the third-tier sect and stage a comeback!"

And then...

"A great roc takes flight with the wind, soaring ninety thousand li. So what if a fourth-tier sect doesn't recognize my value? I'm aiming for the fifth tier!"

And further...

"To hell with the fifth-tier sect! They can't recognize a precious gem when they see one. They will regret it."

And then...

"Uh, brother, can you be a little more accommodating? How about having an elder or sect master to take a look at me? I'm truly a once-in-a-millennium genius in cultivation. My talent is amazing, I just haven't awakened it yet. Sigh, brother, brother, please don't hit me, I'm leaving now."

And then...

"Am I qualified? No? Fine, I'm leaving..."

Now, standing in front of the ninth-tier sect, Ye Xiyun felt numb.

He looked at the panel in front of him and felt like it was playing a joke on him.

With my incredible talent, couldn't any of the sects on the entire Mystic Spirit Continent recognize it?

Is the system trying to make me follow the typical plot of starting from scratch and eventually rising up by playing with nuclear bombs?

He made up his mind. If he couldn't enter this sect, he would go back to Lingxi Town and marry the twin sisters. He would live a life of innocent touches during the day and passionate intimacy at night. As for cultivation...

Haha…

He doesn’t bear any hope anymore.

"Um, those who want to join our Tianxuan Sect, come over here to have your talents checked," at this moment, a person in Daoist robes walked out from the mountain gate and spoke to the people waiting outside Tianxuan Sect.

"Here we go!" A group of people rushed over from beside Ye Xiyun.

Ye Xiyun adjusted his backpack and shook his head helplessly.

All these small fries who were brushed off from above, why are you so excited? Do you think the sect will accept you just because you run fast?

What a joke. It's still about talent.

Ye Xiyun casually followed behind, then heard the person checking talents ahead say, "For those who actively cultivate, even low grade spiritual roots are accepted."

Damn it! Why didn't you say that earlier! Ye Xiyun's spirit shook, and he quickly rushed forward, determined not to let anyone steal his chance to be the first!

But as Ye Xiyun was about to reach the front, he heard the Daoist brother announce the results of the first person's talent examination: "Yue Lanxin, high-level water attribute spiritual roots, accepted."

Damn it! How did you manage to have high-level spiritual roots too? How did you go from being brushed off by a first-tier sect like me all the way to the ninth-tier sect?

Wait a minute, that's not the point, right? The point is, with your high-level spiritual roots, you rank first. They really don't give us low grade spiritual roots trash any chance, do they?

PS: This is not a system story. The awakening of the golden finger hasn't happened yet and is temporarily mistaken by the protagonist as a system. I will fill in the gaps after the seventh chapter.
