Ding! I am merely an auxiliary system; I can’t directly help my host.
But if the host collects enough points, they can exchange goods through the point mall or win good things via a point lottery, thus possibly increasing their strength in a short time.
Jiang Xuan: “…”
Facing the System’s suggestion, Jiang Xuan raised his middle finger without hesitation.
Of course, Jiang Xuan understood this logic, but the problem was that he had no points at all.
d*mn, System points were reserved for duplicating spiritual roots, bloodlines, or killing Martial Emperors.
These were way too difficult for this small-time character called Jiang Xuan.
Suddenly, as if he had an epiphany, he addressed the System again:
“System, how about you lend me some points?
At least I am your host, and you should have enough faith in me.
Besides, if I become stronger, it’s also beneficial to you.
Don’t worry, once I am powerful enough, I will fully repay what I borrowed.
Let me borrow 1000 points first, so I can roll ten times in a row with them, and use these 1000 points to change my fate for the better.”
Ding! The host has identified a loophole in the system rules.
Ding! The loophole has been fixed; a compensation gift pack has been awarded to the host.
Ding! To the host: insufficient funds—cannot pre-credit System points.
Jiang Xuan: “? ? ? ? ? ?”
“What? Are you seriously trying to fool me here! At least fix the system after lending me the points! You don’t even care about saving face anymore, System. I heard everything you said earlier.
This is too much! Do you plan on fixing bugs anytime now?”
After hearing Jiang Xuan’s query, the System fell silent.
On the other hand, seeing that the System pretended to be a pushover, Jiang Xuan changed his tone and spoke:
“System, stop playing dead. I’ve marked down your operation, and I’ll settle the score with you sooner or later. Open the compensation gift pack for me first.”
Ding! The host has opened the compensation gift pack. Congratulations, the host has received one Super Invisibility Charm.
This time, Jiang Xuan finally saw an invisibility charm that didn’t actually make him invisible.
Super Invisibility Charm: After injecting spirit energy, one enters an invisible state for one hour, undetectable by emperors below.
After reviewing the effects of the super invisibility charm, Jiang Xuan exclaimed internally:
[Huh, this time the System has actually become quite considerate? This charm seems even more powerful than the teleportation charm, it’s a must-have for escaping!]
With this super invisibility charm acquired, Jiang Xuan temporarily let the System off the hook.
In the end, his cultivation was still too weak for him to worry about other stuff. For now, the most pressing matter was further enhancing his skills.
Given his divine root talent, becoming a strong warrior was just a matter of time.
Thanks to Nangong Liu Yun’s guidance over these past days, although Jiang Xuan felt exhausted, his cultivation unexpectedly reached the peak of Earthly Martial Ninth Level.
He was still a bit away from reaching the extreme realm of the Earthly Martial stage.
Considering that entering the extreme realm of Earthly Martial would call forth heavenly punishments, Jiang Xuan decided to find a safer spot before breaking through.
Ruminating on this, he chose Xuantian Pavilion’s meeting room—a secluded courtyard—to perform the breakthrough.
Soon, he used the secret passageway within his room and made his way inside the courtyard.
Seeing the accumulated dust in the courtyard, Jiang Xuan sighed slightly.
Currently, none of the members of Xuantian Pavilion were in Great Jiang Imperial City, including Deputy Pavilion Master Xiao Hongxin.
It was very likely that they were out searching for the Pavilion Master’s whereabouts.
Sadly, Jiang Xuan, always the hands-off owner, had no means of contacting the Xuantian Pavilion members.
Xuantian Pavilion’s main base was not here, so he could only reach out to Xiao Hongxin, the Deputy Pavilion Master.
However, long ago, Xiao Hongxin used to come to Great Jiang Imperial City monthly to update him on the situation.
And then… nothing. He trusted Xiao Hongxin to handle everything.
Now reflecting on it, it was natural that Xiao Hongxin had grievances, considering how unreliable he appeared during crucial times.
Returning to his current thoughts, Jiang Xuan decided not to dwell on the issues of Xuantian Pavilion.
He resolved to focus on improving his cultivation. As soon as he took out a Spirit Stone, he immediately began meditating.
Before long, Jiang Xuan touched upon the pinnacle of the Earthly Martial level.
Once he broke through to the Tenth Tier, massive storm clouds gathered and enveloped the entire Great Jiang Imperial City.
At that moment, all the elites in Great Jiang Imperial City were baffled.
Following that, a hundred bolts of lightning descended instantly.
Yet, when they were about to hit Jiang Xuan, they seemed to go insane, avoiding him.
Some even flew back into the storm clouds—an extraordinary sight indeed.
In moments, the sky clouds were gone.
While Jiang Xuan was consolidating his Earth Martial Tenth Tier, Nangong Liu Yun arrived stealthily.
“Huh, those cloud formations and lightning strikes must have been created by your lordship. Seems like His Lordship has been secretly getting stronger, eh? But why did His Lordship appear here? Planning to escape?”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!”
Seeing Nangong Liu Yun arrive, Jiang Xuan instinctively panicked.
Nangong continued and dragged him directly into a room.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xuan shrugged off her hand and coolly stated,
“Liu Yun, you’re overthinking it—I wasn’t planning to run away anyway. But if I wanted to, you would have trouble keeping up with me.”
“Hmm? You’re not being honest just after a few hours apart?
Fine, run away then. I will take action once you’re far enough away.”
“Oh? Is that what you say? Well, watch closely.”
In the next moment, Jiang Xuan pulled out the super-invisibility charm and injected some spirit energy.
A white flash appeared, yet his hands remained visible amidst his confusion. Just as he was puzzled, the charm’s effect kicked in.
He was now dressed—and invisible—like some ghost in thin air.
Seeing this, Nangong Liu Yun was slightly astonished and smirked,
“My lord, this looks less like you’re running away and more like you’re baiting me on purpose. I had no idea you had such intriguing items.”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!
