Transmigrated in a xianxia novel - 6 System tutorial
The moment he thought these words, blue screens suddenly appeared before his eyes and a mechanical voice talked in his head.
[Initialization of the tutorial…]
[The system is divided into three main functions:]
[Status]
[Lottery]
[Inventory]
[To open a function, Host must think about it. Host, please, think about a function to learn more about it.]
Li Jing hadn’t expected his system to be a lottery system. Since he didn’t consider himself a lucky person, he was slightly disappointed.
Anyway, having a lottery system was still much better than having nothing at all, so he cheered himself up, smiled, and thought: ‘Status’. Then, a large blue screen appeared.
[———-STATUS———
Experience Points (XP): 0
XP / hour: 0
Strength: 25 Jin
Qi cultivation realm: Mortal (XP: 0/3000)
Body cultivation realm: Mortal (XP: 0/5000)
Talent: B-grade
Bloodlines: None
Perks: [Appraisal]
Cultivation methods: None
Martial techniques: None
————————–]
[Experience Points (XP) are the currency that Host can use to increase his cultivation realm or buy tickets in the Lottery menu. Host can gain Experience Points by cultivating, killing living beings, or consuming cultivation pills and treasures.]
[The XP / hour is automatically calculated based on Host current environment, Cultivation method, talent, bloodlines, and perks.]
[The perk Appraisal allows Host to accurately value any target. Be it an object, a plant, a person, or a beast, the perk gives Host information about it.]
Li Jing read attentively the information displayed on the blue screens. He was both excited and amazed by the possibilities of his system because he hadn’t expected it to have bloodlines and perks. In the web novel, it was explained that a bloodline couldn’t be acquired, a person was either born with or without one. As for perks, it was probably something exclusive to the system.
He was also extremely surprised to see that to increase his cultivation realm, he just needed Experience Points. Did that mean that as long as he accumulated Experience Points he could increase his cultivation realm without worrying about bottlenecks? If that was the case, then his system was really powerful! He knew that cultivators could be stuck at a realm for years because they couldn’t breakthrough a bottleneck.
Advancing in cultivation depended on many factors. Among them, there were a powerful Cultivation method, talent, luck, and resources. But to breakthrough the different bottlenecks, cultivators also needed to rely on their own comprehension and experiences. Needless to say that thanks to the system, Li Jing will save an incredible amount of time and effort!
Seeing that the explanations were over. Li Jing thought about the second function.
‘Lottery’
[Host can use a lottery ticket to get a random item from the system. List of items that can be obtained: bloodlines, perks, Cultivation methods, Martial techniques, weapons, and artifacts. Each item can only be obtained once, meaning that once an item is obtained, it is not possible to obtain it a second time.]
[The grade of the item obtained depends on the rarity of the lottery ticket used. There are four types of lottery tickets: Common ticket, Rare ticket, Epic ticket, and Legendary ticket.]
[Host must use Experience Points (XP) to buy a ticket. The price of the tickets are:
5000 XP for a Common ticket.
15000 XP for a Rare ticket.
500000 XP for an Epic ticket.
1500000 XP for a Legendary ticket.]
Li Jing thought that the price of the Epic and Legendary tickets was completely abused and unreasonable!
However, although everything was random, he was still happy to see that at least there was no useless item in the lottery. Items like pills, alchemy ingredients, or spiritual ores were useless to him.
‘Inventory.’ Li Jing finally thought about the last function.
[The inventory space is unlimited but can only store items obtained from the system.]
[To use an item stored in the inventory, Host just needs to think about it.]
[Host currently has one item stored in his inventory: ‘Starter Gift’.]
[The tutorial is now over. Please note that from now on, the system will not interact with Host outside of the standard notifications.]
Nodding, Li Jing was overall very satisfied with his system. Although he still had some questions, he thought that they will naturally be answered after using his system for some time.
He was now ready to start cultivating. However, he first wanted to open the Starter Gift to see what was inside. He hoped to receive some powerful items that could help him get started in his cultivation path.
‘Use item: Starter Gift!’ He thought.
[Using the item: Starter Gift.]
[Host received 4 items: 1x Common Lottery ticket; 1x Rare Lottery ticket; 2x Epic Lottery tickets. These items have been stored in Host inventory.]
Seeing that he received four lottery tickets, Li Jing decided to use them right away.
‘Use item: Common Lottery ticket.’
[Congratulations! Host received the item: Bloodline: Iron Boar (common). The item has been stored in Host inventory.]
[
Name: Iron Boar
Type: Bloodline
Grade: Common
Description: Gives Host, the strength of an Iron Boar.
Effect: Permanently increases Host’s strength by 150 Jin.
]
A bloodline!
Li Jing smiled excitedly. Although it was just a common bloodline and in the long term an increase of strength by 150 Jin was nothing, it was still very helpful at the beginning.
One had to know that in the Qi Gathering realm, each level increased the strength of a cultivator by 100 Jin. It meant that thanks to this bloodline, Li Jing will be able to fight against opponents with one level higher than him!
The Qi Gathering realm, like the other cultivation realms, was divided into ten levels. Every three levels, the cultivators will encounter a small bottleneck. They will also encounter a big bottleneck before reaching the next realm. Therefore, a lot of untalented cultivators were stuck at the Qi Gathering realm their whole life.
Li Jing decided to activate his bloodline later. Now, he couldn’t wait to see what other items he will obtain with the last three lottery tickets.
‘Use item: Rare Lottery ticket.’
[Congratulations! Host received the item: Weapon: Lightning-flame Spirit Daggers (rare). The item has been stored in Host inventory.]
[
Name: Lightning-flame Spirit Daggers
Type: Weapon
Grade: Sky (Middle)
Description: A pair of powerful spiritual weapons that can convert the Qi channeled inside of them into Lightning Qi and Fire Qi.
Effect: Convert the Qi channeled inside the lightning dagger into Lightning Qi and inside the flame dagger into Fire Qi. The speed and strength of the wielder are also increased by 15% while his Qi is channeled inside the daggers.
]
The grade of a weapon, just like the grade of a Cultivation method or a Martial technique, was divided into six levels: Yellow, Mortal, Earth, Sky, Heaven, and Divine. Each level was divided into four sub-levels: Low, Middle, High, and Peak.
A Sky grade spiritual weapon was extremely rare in the Southern Border Continent. Only an emperor or a sect leader of a powerful sect could have one.
However, seeing it, Li Jing winced. He was not at all satisfied with this item. He didn’t even know how to use a dagger!
The original owner of his body only trained with a sword, meaning that if he wanted to use daggers, he would have to find a competent teacher and train for years. In his mind, it was a waste of time.
Furthermore, he wanted to be a real martial artist, using his punch to destroy mountains and his kick to break his enemies’ bones. He didn’t want to specialize in weapons.
However, he wasn’t narrow-minded, maybe one day he will change his mind, and in the worst case, he could still sell the weapons with the pretext that he luckily found them. A Sky grade weapon could easily be sold for hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones!
Li Jing’s heart was beating fast with excitement because now it was time to use his Epic Lottery tickets. He really hoped that he could obtain a powerful Cultivation method with these tickets.
Most people in this world believed that talent was the most important thing for a cultivator. However, it was not entirely true. The Cultivation method used by a cultivator was as important as his talent.
The grade of a Cultivation method determined how much and how fast a cultivator could gather the Qi from heaven and earth. What was the point of having a great talent if a cultivator couldn’t gather Qi as quickly as he could absorb it inside his body?
Furthermore, some Cultivation methods also had additional special effects like converting the Qi absorbed into elemental Qi or making the Qi inside the dantian purer and thicker.
‘Alright, let’s use my Epic Lottery tickets!’ Li Jing thought.
