Kyushu Immortal Alliance, Jiangnan City

[Killing a low-ranking demon insect, you have gained +0.1 experience points.]

[Killing a low-ranking demon insect, you have gained +0.1 experience points.]

[Killing a mid-ranking demon insect, you have gained +0.5 experience points.]

---

While controlling his character in the game, Su Chen focused on eliminating the demon insects invading his spiritual field. At the same time, he used a sickle to harvest the mature spiritual rice growing there.

After a few minutes, he collected all the ripe spiritual rice and stored it in his storage bag. At that moment, the sky darkened in the game world.

---

[Congratulations! You have completed the 1st novice mission: Planting and harvesting mature spiritual rice (200/200 jin).]

[You have gained 1,000 experience points.]

---

"Twenty days in reality and two hundred days in the game world—I've finally completed this first novice mission," Su Chen murmured as he glanced at the 1,000 experience points credited to his character's account.

"If I maintain this pace, I should be able to complete my foundation building within a year. Even if I don't, I should easily reach the seventh or eighth level of the Qi Gathering Stage."

"With the strength of the seventh or eighth Qi Gathering level, I should have no problem applying to one of the top four Taoist academies in the Kyushu Immortal Alliance for next year's college entrance exam."

His confidence stemmed from the mysterious game "Cultivation of Immortality", which had appeared on his phone 20 days ago.

As a time traveler, Su Chen initially dismissed the game as unremarkable. But one day, his opinion changed dramatically when he realized that as his character in the game grew stronger, he himself experienced corresponding growth. From then on, he took the game seriously.

[Character Panel]

[Name: Su Chen]

[Identity: Jiangnan No. 1 High School Student (Servant Disciple of Qingyun Sect)]

[Qualifications: Low-grade Mixed Spiritual Roots (Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth)]

[Cultivation: Level 2 of Qi Gathering Stage (2150/10,000)]

[Cultivation Method: Five Element Qi Gathering Technique]

[2nd Novice Mission: Raise cultivation level to the fourth level of the Qi Gathering Stage and become an outer sect disciple of Qingyun Sect (Status: Incomplete)]

[Task Rewards: 2,000 Experience Points, Spiritual Root Qualification +1]

---

Looking at the task rewards, Su Chen pondered, "Completing this mission not only earns me experience points but also raises my cultivation qualification? That's incredible!"

His excitement was tempered by memories of the accident ten years ago that had damaged his current cultivation qualification. Now, his potential was woefully low.

According to his homeroom teacher, a person with low-grade spiritual roots had only a one-in-a-thousand chance of achieving a ninth-grade human-level foundation and a one-in-a-million chance of reaching an earth-grade foundation.

As for the elusive heaven-grade foundation, even those with top-grade spiritual roots struggled to attain it.

"If I want to build an earth-grade or heaven-grade foundation, I must raise my spiritual root from low-grade to top-grade."

Completing the novice mission would only upgrade his spiritual root to middle-grade. Though an improvement, middle-grade wasn't nearly enough for his ambitions.

"If I want to maximize my potential, I need to raise my root to at least middle-grade before completing this mission," he thought aloud.

"Ah, I almost forgot about the school's Treasure Pavilion app. It might have something to help me."

Su Chen put his game character in idle mode and opened the Jiangnan No. 1 High School Treasure Pavilion app on his phone.

As the best training school in Jiangnan, the pavilion housed a vast array of skills and treasures, all available exclusively to students for purchase using school credits. This initiative was supported by the Kyushu Immortal Alliance to help students access resources that would otherwise be hard to find or afford.

After a few minutes of browsing, Su Chen found a technique perfect for his situation.

---

[Purple Cloud Divine Light Technique]

[Effect 1: Improves the user's aptitude.]

[Effect 2: Grants Purple Cloud Divine Light body protection.]

[Effect 3: Unlocks Purple Cloud Divine Fire (Condition: Perfection).]

[Practice Requirements: Virgin body.]

[Price: 100 credits.]

---

Seeing the low price, Su Chen grew suspicious. A technique capable of enhancing aptitude and granting divine protection was exceptionally valuable. Techniques like this usually cost thousands of credits, yet this one was only 100.

"Why is such a powerful technique so cheap?"

Curious, he checked the comments section.

---

[Student No. 1:] Don't buy this technique—it's a scam. The description is misleading.

[Student No. 2:] I regret ignoring senior students' advice. You can only practice this technique for 10 minutes a day when the purple clouds rise. Also, it's only for boys.

[Student No. 3:] If you insist on practicing this technique, be prepared to choose between staying single for decades or giving up entirely. You might not even master it.

---

Su Chen chuckled after reading the comments. The limitations were clear: the technique had a strict daily time limit of 10 minutes, and the practitioner had to remain a virgin. Few students would commit to such harsh conditions, especially with no guarantee of success.

No wonder the school set the price so low—it was practically a joke. Yet, despite these drawbacks, the technique's benefits were undeniable.

"Thankfully, the time restrictions aren't an issue for me," Su Chen realized.

Ordinary students could only practice the technique for 10 minutes a day, but thanks to the game's time dilation (10 days in-game equaled one day in reality), Su Chen could practice for 110 minutes daily.

Furthermore, he could accelerate his mastery by spending experience points. The more he thought about it, the more he felt this technique was tailor-made for him. Without hesitation, he purchased it.

Moments later, the Purple Cloud Divine Light Technique's practice method arrived in his student email. After a quick read-through, he grasped its principles.

Immediately, his game character panel updated.

---

[Purple Cloud Divine Light Technique: Entry Level (1/200)]

---

Seeing that only 200 experience points were needed to reach the Small Success level, Su Chen spent them without hesitation.

---

[You have consumed 200 experience points. Your Purple Cloud Divine Light Technique has been upgraded to Small Success Level.]
