Cultivation Starting from Full Talent

The sun rose slowly, like a fiery orb bursting through the clouds, painting the eastern sky gold.

Beneath the mist, the forest leaves were lush, like emerald jade dripping with dew.

This place was as beautiful as a fairyland, filled with spirituality; at this moment, inside a grass hut on the hillside, a disheveled young man was waking up from his sleep.

Ning Daoran had transmigrated to the Cultivation World just two and a half years ago. The good news was he was still alive; the bad news was that he hadn't made any headway in his cultivation.

"Ding Dong!"

At the thought, a Talent System panel popped up before his eyes.

[Strength]:5

[Defense]:5

[Speed]:5

[Mana]:5

[Grass and Tree Holy Spirit]:5

[Commanding All Beasts]:4

...

That's right, after his transmigration, Ning Daoran had obtained the legendary "All Achievement System", complete with six full talents!

The first stage, every month automatically granted him a Talent Point. Over two years had passed cautiously surviving in this Cultivation World, and he was finally about to break through.

Now, as two and a half years approached, his six talents were nearly maxed out!

And, he had gained a full understanding of each talent.

Strength, Defense, Speed, Mana—these four fundamental talents were just as they sounded, a literal boost.

Grass and Tree Holy Spirit was the talent Ning Daoran relied on most!

With every point added to Grass and Tree Holy Spirit, it could increase the growth speed of the plants he cultivated by a factor of ten!

This meant that he had boundless potential in the realm of cultivating Spirit Plants; he was born to be an expert in growing Spirit Rice and Spiritual Medicine!

As for the last talent, Commanding All Beasts, as the name implies, it was related to "Beast Taming".

...

"Old Lu, wake up!"

Ning Daoran stood up and irritably kicked the large creature lying at his feet.

"Ow~~~"

The "large creature" slowly raised its head, revealing itself to be a deer with its "Double Horn" missing.

According to his predecessor's knowledge, this was a "Mountain Bashing Deer".

It was on a pitch-black night when suddenly a bolt of lightning shattered the darkness, and the Mountain Bashing Deer bathed in the thunder descended to the earth with its Double Horn broken and half of an Azure Dragon Spear stuck in its rear!

Most likely, some Cultivator hunting Demon Beasts had missed their shot, allowing this Mountain Bashing Deer to escape.

At that time, Ning Daoran had just added a point to his Commanding All Beasts talent, so he took the opportunity to make this Mountain Bashing Deer his first Spiritual Beast.

The deer was slow-witted, its deer eyes filled with clear stupidity.

The reason Ning Daoran had kept it was because the Mountain Bashing Deer's innate Divine Skill was Earth Tunneling, making it a useful helper for digging tunnels.

Moreover, this Big Stupid Deer had at least a thousand pounds of muscle, which meant if he ever got desperate, killing it could produce a significant amount of meat.

After getting up, Ning Daoran started to worry.

He knew he had to cultivate, but he had no idea where to start.

Since his transmigration, he hadn't met a single Cultivator, let alone the prospect of entering an Immortal Sect.

The village where his predecessor was born was called Dragon Flying Village, situated in the bitterly cold and desolate lands of Xia Country, the kind of godforsaken place where no Cultivators would visit.

As for Cultivation Techniques...

Half a year ago, Ning Daoran did indeed spend all his savings to buy a Secret Cultivation Manual from a passing peddler, called the Body Tempering Technique.

The peddler noticed at a glance that he had a Spirit Root and immediately became eloquent, saying that the Body Tempering Technique was a Secret Cultivation Technique that could strengthen the body, wash the marrow and change the meridians, with infinite benefits.

His words were so convincing; he claimed that an old man paralyzed for thirty years learned the Body Tempering Technique and immediately started scaling walls and roofs before vanishing on the spot, nowhere to be found to this day!

But Ning Daoran had practiced for half a year with no results so far.

In the early morning, Ning Daoran bathed in the dawn light and began to practice his Cultivation Technique.

He slowly executed the Body Tempering Pile, which he had done countless times over the past two years.

Although he knew this Cultivation Technique might be useless, it was all he had, so he treated the situation like administering medicine to a dead horse, persisting tirelessly!

Cultivation required perseverance, otherwise, what's the point of cultivating!

After a long time, he completed the set of the Body Tempering Technique and exhaled a breath of stale air from his chest.

"Refreshing!"

The moment he finished his stance, he perceived that today's training was somewhat unusual, with crackling sounds coming from his skin, as if triggering some mechanism.

Following that, he suddenly felt the presence of some gray, murky substances in the air!

Spiritual Energy!

It really was Spiritual Energy!

Only those with Spirit Roots can feel the Spiritual Energy in the world, and this is why in the Cultivation World without a Spirit Root, one cannot cultivate.

'Holy shit...'

Ning Daoran was nearly moved to tears, then he took a deep breath, and the nearby Spiritual Energy began to converge as if summoned.

It poured in from all directions, infiltrating his body and spreading through his limbs, purifying the body that was sensing Spiritual Energy for the first time.

This was the sign of Energy Introduction!

Success!

Qi Refinement Realm, First Layer!

"Old Lu, I've done it!"

Ning Daoran was ecstatic but did not immediately celebrate. Instead, he continued to repeatedly push the Body Tempering Pile.

Until his body felt tired and was unable to absorb any trace of the Spiritual Energy in a short time.

At this moment, in Ning Daoran's eyes, the snowflakes falling from the sky seemed incredibly slow, their shapes crystal clear. He could see the collision of one snowflake with another, observing the minutest details.

These were all changes brought by entering the Qi Refinement Realm, filling Ning Daoran with joy.

"Ow~~~"

Big Stupid Deer raised its head and let out a triumphant call as if to say, "Brother Ran, you're awesome!"

"Ning Daoran, brother!"

Just then, a short figure dashed up the hillside, a young boy dressed in a blue short tunic.
