At the bottom of Qingyu Mountain, a thin boy carried a heavy basket of herbs on his back.
His name was Lin Tianyu (林天羽).
In the Qingyu Sect (青玉宗), he was nothing more than a slave servant.
Ten Years Ago
A quiet village burned in the night.
A woman dressed in white robes floated in the sky like an immortal.
Her name was Su Yueran (苏月然).
A powerful Golden Core cultivator.
Her eyes scanned the villagers before stopping on a small boy hiding behind a broken wall.
"Hmm…"
She frowned slightly.
"This child… strange bloodline, but no spiritual root."
The villagers trembled before her overwhelming aura.
Su Yueran calmly grabbed the boy.
"Take him back to the sect. He can work as a servant."
And just like that…
Lin Tianyu's life changed forever.
Present Day
"Move faster, trash!"
A young disciple kicked Lin Tianyu in the stomach.
The bully was Zhao Kang (赵康), an outer disciple.
Lin Tianyu fell into the snow.
But he didn't fight back.
For ten years, he had lived like this.
Carrying herbs.
Cleaning sect halls.
Being beaten by disciples.
Because he had no spiritual root, he could not cultivate.
In the sect hierarchy…
He was lower than even the weakest outer disciple.
That Night
Lin Tianyu lay inside a broken wooden hut used by servants.
His body was covered in bruises.
He looked at the night sky.
"If immortals exist… why was I born useless?"
Suddenly—
A strange voice echoed inside his mind.
[Supreme Cultivation System activating…]
Lin Tianyu suddenly sat up.
"What… was that?"
The voice continued.
[System arrival delayed: 10 years]
[Compensation rewards issued]
A golden light appeared before him.
Two items slowly floated in the air.
• 8-Rank Heavenly Spirit Pill
• 7-Rank Ancient Flying Sword
Lin Tianyu stared in shock.
"Am I… dreaming?"
The system spoke again.
[Daily Random Reward System bound to host: Lin Tianyu]
[First mission: Consume the Heavenly Spirit Pill]
With trembling hands, Lin Tianyu swallowed the pill.
BOOM!
A terrifying surge of spiritual energy exploded inside his body.
His veins lit up with golden light.
Cracks echoed inside his heart as cultivation energy formed circles around it.
Qi Awakening…
First Circle!
Second Circle!
Third Circle!
Fourth Circle!
Fifth Circle!
In one night…
The slave who could not cultivate reached Qi Awakening – 5th Circle.
Lin Tianyu slowly opened his glowing eyes.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"For ten years… I endured everything."
He looked toward the towering buildings of Qingyu Sect.
"But from today…"
"Everything will change."
