10 Exploiting the system
Next day
Inside the golden palace
The main door of the golden palace lead to a large and spacious hall, with a huge majestic golden throne that had dragon heads carvings on either sides, at front.
There were hundreds of doors attached to the hall, connecting to different rooms. Each and every one of those doors have never-seen unique and mysterious patterns on them.
"Hey Lan'er, you can't do this to me."
Ling Tian stood infront of one particular room with a helpless expression. As he spoke to the closed doors, no reply came from inside.
"Tsk, I shouldn't have told her that I'm invincible only in this place and my cultivation is still the same out of this place."
He shook his head and sighed to himself. He indeed shouldn't have said that.
In case they were to go out, who will protect master? giving this reason, Lu Lan locked herself in a room that has multiple folds more concentration of Spiritual energy than outside, to cultivate dilligently.
"Hey system, since this is a dual cultivation sect, shouldn't there be some cultivation manual that can increases disciples' cultivation directly by dual cultivating?"
Ling Tian turned around and walked away, mumbling to himself with a discontent tone.
[
The path of cultivation is long and horrendous. Except for some special cases and situations, It is always same and unbiased for everyone. The only difference is what path, how fast and how dilligently one walks on their own.
Dual cultivation is a heaven defying way to increase one's accumulation of Spirit energy in their dantian by tens or hundreds or even thousands folds faster than normal cultivation. But to break through into the next stages, one had to do it by diligence.
]
The long and boring words flashed on the screen, making Ling Tian roll his eyes.
"Same and unbiased huh? hehe, I wasn't able to cultivate for my whole 18 years of life. Now after few hours of dual cultivation, I suddenly broke through to Body Strengthening 2 minor stages easily. I really don't find anything you said in my case."
Ling Tian laughed with disdain, while looking at another interface screen.

Right ! Now his cultivation is Body Strengthening Realm 2nd stage, not no cultivation like before.
Before, when he was young, no matter how much he tried, he wasn't able to absorb any spiritual energy at all, leading him to become a useless hedonistic prince.
Now after few hours of entanglement with Lu Lan, he suddenly broke through Body Strengthening Realm 2 minor stages. one should know that even for a pinnacle genius like Lu Lan, it took more two months to achieve that.
[
Host is different. Host underwent reincarnation before and had Yin-Yang Heavenly constitution. Coupled with Profane Palace Sect's exclusive cultivation Technique, Supreme Dual Cultivation Manual, the speed of host's cultivation obviously won't be normal.
]
This reincarnation thing again, Ling Tian creased his brows.
This is not the first time the system said something about reincarnation but it never explained it. It said something like he had to achieve high cultivation before knowing everything, pissing his nerves to no end.
If you are not gonna explain, then why even bother mentioning...
Ignoring that part, he focused on that next part. Yin-Yang Heavenly Physique and Supreme Dual Cultivation Manual.
"Tsk, Yin-Yang or whatever physique, if I already have those things, Shouldn't I be a genius since birth? But why was a waste instead?"
Ling Tian couldn't help ask. Even though he never truly cared about his inability to cultivate, that doesn't change the fact how much hardwork and diligence he put into cultivating when he was a child. But everything was for naught. All he got in return were odd despising looks from others.
[
Yin-Yang Heavenly Constitution let's it's owner to have perfect affinity with all 9 attributes, Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Lightning, Light, Dark, Space, Time.
Normal spiritual energy contains disproportionated attributes. Some with excess fire, some with excess water, some lacking light, dark, space, time attributes... Absorbing and cultivating it will disturb the harmony of attributes and make the constitution impure.
To avoid such situation, the system locked host's Dantian from cultivation. Now that the system is reinstalled, host can practice The Supreme Dual Cultivation Manual, which can circulate one of world's purest forms of energy, Yin-Yang spiritual energy.
]
Whatever it did was for Ling Tian's sake. The system perfectly justified all of it's actions. So he doesn't have anything to blame it. But-
"My sake? You sealed my cultivation and it was for my sake? Do you know how much I suffered because of that? My brothers, sisters, cousins, even the servants bullied me. They didn't just bully, they insulted me and beat me up, saying that I was a disgrace of the empire. The mental trauma and physical pain, everything I suffered was also for my sake?"
Narrowing his eyes, Ling Tian blamed the system with fake dissatisfaction.
Of course the things he said were exaggerated. Even if he was a waste, he was still a direct prince, not someone everyone could touch. Atmost they could insult him a bit, that too in his absence.
Ultimately Ling Tian didn't suffer much. As to why he is still blaming and scolding system is because he was still pissed at the system for not explaining him about the reincarnation...
[
...
...
Mental Trauma? Suffer?
]
The system didn't reply quickly. Just as he thought it ignored him, these words flashed on the screen, making his eyes glow.
"Yes, yes. Mental Trauma, the kind of mental and spiritual pain and suffering. By locking my cultivation, you made me experience all these."
Ling Tian quickly nodded his head. A barely noticeable smirk speard on his face.
It's reply was a surprise for him. Unexpectedly the system was not just mechanical. It seems like it has its own conciousness and thoughts, similar to that of a living being, though it looked like it lacked a bit of common sense.
[
Mental Trauma...
Analysing information...
.....
.....
.....
After analysing the information, the system concluded that it indeed caused unnecessary harm to host. As a compensation, host will be rewarded sufficiently."
Compensation?
Ling Tian eyes twinkled with pleasant surprise. He was just messing around with the system, he didn't expect that it would offer compensation.
May be he can explore the system in future like this?
As he was thinking, the whole place suddenly shone with a blinding light for a second, before becoming normal.
Before, it was calm and serene but Now, Ling Tian could suddenly hear sounds outside of palace?
Sounds?
With an ancipiating expression, he walked out of the palace. As the scenery outside fell onto his eyes, they shone like twinkling stars.
