2: [Yin-Lotus Sword Art]

As he returned back to his small wooden hut, Li Fan calmly opened the door before looking inside.

He could see a slightly bulky outer disciple laying down on the bed, completely passed out.

"Phew" Li Fan released a sigh of relief before taking a seat on his bed, he then quickly opened his status page.

"This is just a basic iron sword" Li Fan said as he held the iron sword given by the system.

Even so he was still struggling to hold it up correctly, he was a mortal at the 1st stage of Qi refining what would you expect..

[Yin-Lotus Sword Art]

[Would you like to learn it]

[Y/N]

"Yes learn it" Li Fan said.

Swoosh!!

The yin-lotus sword art manual disappeared form the system inventory, it then turned into a flash of light before shooting between Li Fan's brows.

"Ah." Li Fan was startled, his mind was shoved with tons of information once again, luckily it didn't hurt as much as before this time.

Going through his new found information on the technique, Li Fan became excited!

============<Status>============

[Name]: Li Fan

[Age]: 16/58

[Bloodline]: Mortal<->(can be upgraded)

[Cultivation]: 1st Qi Refining Realm(67%)

[Dao]: Nil

[Skills]: (Yin-Lotus Sword Art<early>)

=============================

Seeing the change in his stats, things felt a lot more real to him now.

According to the system, the only way to level up his martial skills is to continuously use them, killing beasts and defeating opponents with the martial skill also raised the exp of the sword art.

In this world of cultivation, according to rumors the old Li Fan had heard, there were demons in this world, and colossal beasts that could crush mountains.

"My ultimate goal, is eternal life" Li Fan said deeply, he didn't really care much about earth, he was usually depressed, he was born an orphan without even knowing his parents, so he didn't really have much ties to earth.

"But isn't this new world a place I can change everything?" Li Fan smiled to himself..

..

[Ding! System mission!

Task: Carry 5 buckets of water to the mountain peak.

Reward: cultivation base raise, (leveling system)] the system said mechanically as a virtual screen appeared in front of Li fan who was trying to learn more about his new technique..

"Carrying water?" Li Fan smiled strangely, with his current strength, those huge buckets of water were extremely heavy, not to mention carrying 5 of them up the mountain, if he was at the 3rd stage of the Qi refining realm then that would have been easy.

"I still have the body-cleansing fruit" Li Fan said to lighten his mood.

After taking the fruit out of his inventory, a crimson red fruit appeared, its side were slightly bumpy with a strange pattern on the fruit.

"It's a body-cleansing fruit, so I'm guessing I eat it?" Li Fan asked, the old Li Fan didn't even know anything about medical herbs, even as a young master of the Li clan.

Li Fan immediately started biting into the body-cleansing fruit, after finishing the whole fruit, he mysteriously just passed out after another scream.

"F*ck" Li Fan woke up with a cold sweat on his forehead, and his nose twitching.

"What's that and smell, even my nose hairs are burning" he thought as he traced the smell, only to find out it came from him.

"What's that smell" The bulky outer disciple who was sleeping not far form Li Fan said as he rubbed his eyes, trying to wake up.

"F*cking hell" Li Fan immediately rushed out of the wooden cabin and rushed past the many trees circling the outer sect houses.

There was a small pond here which disciples bathed in, luckily no one was here at this moment or else he wouldn't even know what to do.

"Are these impurities?" Li Fan said as he watched the slimy black substance flow into the pond.

"I hope no one else comes to bath in this" Li Fan said with a grin, by now the whole pond smelled like crap.

After bathing he decided to wash the black substance of his clothes as well before returning back to the outer disciple area..

"My body feels suddenly light, and even my vision is better" Li Fan said as he hopped around a few times, his body was incredibly light, he couldn't even see the leaves on a tree at-least dozens of meters away, he could see every detail on the leaf.

...

"Maybe that body-cleansing fruit was meant to help me with this mission" Li Fan carried a huge bucket of water up the mountain, the water was fetched from the calm flowing river beside the sect, the sect was protected by a formation so outer disciples wouldn't get killed by the roaming beasts.

To think that the old Li Fan had been Struggling so hard to break through, yet I can break through by carrying 5 buckets.

The old Li Fan had probably already carried dozens of them up the mountain.

Li Fan smiled as he continued to grab water and take it to the mountain peak, filling up the huge water gourds.

Taking them up to the mountain peak was the hardest part of that job, all outer disciples were required to do it.

Even though it wasn't Li Fan's day to do it, and he should be relaxing or training, why would he give up a cultivation raise from the system?

"Phew I'm almost done" Li Fan said as he noticed the sun starting to set, lighting up the horizon bright-fully.

Pouring the last bucket of water into the huge gourd, Li Fan wiped off his sweat and let out a sigh of relief before Placing the bucket next to the giant gourd.

[mission completed!

[host is now in the 2nd stage of Qi refining]

[host can now raise his cultivation by killing beasts, devouring beast cores, devouring spiritual fruits and medicines, and even by devouring treasures of heaven and earth] a whole bunch of system notifications popped up, startling Li Fan slightly.

He felt a strange energy flow through his meridians before entering his dantian, the sound of glass breaking was heard inside his dantian as he broke through to the second stage..

"Yess, finally at the second stage" Li Fan smiled, he was now an average martial artist in the outer sect, below the above average of his age range, and far below the geniuses of his generation.

"Now I can raise my cultivation by killing beasts?, watch as I rise above everyone" Li Fan smirked to himself before proceeding down the mountain.

Feeling the new rush of strength swirling in his dantian and through his palms he felt even more excited.
