BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1 - Seven Days Away From Being 100 Years Old
"Shock, J Country\'s alchemist, Jack Petron, just discovered a new potion that can heal a fatal injury in just 29.99 seconds!"
"C Country\'s Zen Master Xiao Feilao just reached a new realm in Buddhist cultivation. Now, his body is golden all over…"
"Three days ago, on top of Mount Everbreak near A Country, a mysterious lightning ability user killed two General-level monsters…"
"Yesterday, on Mount Supreme, there was a new abyss crack. A golden bull came out of it, the authority suspected it to be a Great General-level monster…"
Yang Song lay on a rocking chair, flipped through the latest news with his tablet, and shook his head slightly, feeling a bit lonely and regretful in his heart.
85 years ago, he traveled to this world where martial artists, cultivators, mages, ability users, and the likes were respected. And he also got an Immortal Cultivation System as a golden finger. But alas, this system might not be a golden finger at all, it actually asked him to cultivate one Grandmaster martial artist before he could activate it.
He was only a poor 15-year-old boy; where could he find a Grandmaster-rank martial artist?
At that time, he thought that he could just ignore this task for the time being. Since he was very handsome, he should at least have an average talent if not best. But heavens really liked to play against him. With his handsome face, the result of his talent was a Gray-rank, gray just like his bleak fate.
On the other hand, his other classmates who were crooked, cracked, and covered with acne scars were mostly geniuses in martial arts.
At that time, Yang Song felt that there was nothing fair in this world for the first time.
But he believed that man would conquer the sky and should never give up, so he turned to study cultural courses hard.
After graduating, he started a business and made a lot of friends. He also actively supported all potential warriors. But really, after so long, everyone that he invested in could not advance to the Grandmaster-rank the slightest. With this, he decided to let his fate go with the flow instead.
Along the way, although his fate of becoming a martial artist and even a cultivator was far away, as his life continued to improve, he could still rely on his damned handsomeness to get chased by beautiful women and do business. He then got married to a beautiful woman and had three children.
His eldest son was the military governor of Tong City.
His second son was the richest man in Tong City.
His third son had the best talent. He worked in the Disaster Department at the national level. He recently went to battle in the abyss and that fellow was a Master-rank martial artist.
As for his grandchildren, there were seven in total. Four of them had good talents. Although the other three guys\' talents were not high, they were still better than ordinary people.
"It\'s a pity that this wonderful world of martial arts has nothing to do with me…"
Yang Song slowly closed his eyes. From time to time, he could hear the noise from the group of children and grandchildren in the lobby not far away. It was his descendants who were discussing to celebrate his 100th birthday in seven days.
Out of sorrow, he summoned the system in his mind.
Name: Yang Song
Age: 99 years old (7 days away from being 100 years old)
Owning System: Immortal Cultivation System (To be activated)
Cultivate a Grandmaster: 0
"It\'s still zero!" Yang Song was not surprised and he sighed gently, "It looks like I have no fate with this system in this life."
The noise in the lobby gradually diminished. Yang Song put down his tablet. Now, he just wanted to take a good rest. It would look more beautiful on the day of his 100th birthday, and it would not be in vain to visit this world.
It was not known how long it passed before a voice manifested in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host. You have successfully cultivated a Grandmaster. The Immortal Cultivation System is being opened. This system is completely bound to the host. Any attempt to leak the system will be automatically blocked.]
"Haha, I\'m very old, so I have started to hear hallucinations…" Yang Song gave a wry smile, disbelieving.
Who had he invested in these years? He remembered all of them and even wrote their names down. He would turn the page on several times almost every week. Wang Dong was only a 5th Tier Master a month ago! Yang Haoxi, before going to the abyss, was not even a 5th Tier Master! He invested a lot of money, but none of them met his expectation.
While Yang Song was not taking it seriously, the voice in his mind continued to resonate without a care about him.
[Ding, it has been detected that the host\'s body functions are too old, so it is being repaired automatically.]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully activating the Immortal Cultivation System.]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a Novice Gift Package.]
[Ding, the main connection has been established. You will get the Immortal Cultivation Secret Manual. Please learn it as soon as possible, complete the Foundation Building Realm, and become a true cultivator.]
[Notice: To further upgrade the system, you need to cultivate two Grandmasters.]
Yang Song pretended not to hear it.
But as time passed, he found that his body, which was still exhausted just earlier, became stronger without warning.
"Huh? What\'s the matter?"
Yang Song swiftly sat up from the rocking chair, clenched his fists, and a touch of surprise appeared on his old face. He even forgot to pick his walking stick.
"System, open the Novice Gift Package," Yang Song tentatively shouted in his mind.
Then in his head, three images appeared in an instant, slowly turning.
A golden box, a weird-looking eye, and a book with a black cover.
Below each image, there was a comment where Yang Song could see it all at a glance.
Mini storage space: 5 cubic meters. Users can use it to store and collect objects. Can be used within ten meters radius.
Eyes of Insight: You can analyze people\'s natural attributes and combat effectiveness.
Washing Marrow Pill Secret Recipe: After taking it, this pill will expel the impurity. An ordinary person\'s talents will be greatly increased and can directly become a martial artist. When a martial artist takes it, it allows him to ignore the bottleneck and advance further. Note: The effect it has on the same person will continue to halve with the amount of use.
Three kinds of items.
Regarding these three items, as long as Yang Song thought of them, a way to use them correctly would automatically appear in his mind. It was quite convenient.
"The system has really been activated. But who is the Grandmaster martial artist?" When Yang Song thought of this, his heartbeat sped up a lot.
Regarding the scene when the system was being turned on, he had thought and dreamed about it countless times over these decades.
But after the real activation, there was not much excitement in Yang Song. On the contrary, he was calm and composed.
Now, what piqued his interest was not the three items above, but the Immortal Cultivation Secret Manual presented by the system.
Others practiced martial arts, but he cultivated immortality instead. This was really "the older you get, the luckier you become".
Just when Yang Song was about to browse the contents of the Immortal Cultivation Secret Manual, there was a sudden noise in the direction of the lobby.
"Those old things are deceiving people too much!"
"Yeah, it doesn\'t matter if they stole the copyright of our old man back then, but they even dared to curse our old man on the phone this time?"
"Big brother, don\'t get too excited. Calm down first. After you find the right weapon, you can go and chop them down now."
"Good, go now! I can\'t bear it anymore!"
Bang!
With these noises, the door of the lobby made a loud sound before a middle-aged man slammed the door angrily.
But when he saw Yang Song sitting up from the rocking chair, his angry expression disappeared instantly.
Shock and incredulity gradually replaced his expression.
Not long ago, the old man looked very old and withered. He needed the support of his walking stick every time he wanted to sit down or getting up.
Now, his complexion was ruddy, his blood seemed to flow more smoothly. Overall, his entire being was absolutely different from before!
"Haodong, what are you arguing about?" Yang Song spoke, his voice majestic and loud, very rare for a very old person like him to have.
