(Please don't take anything I'm writing here seriously. I'm going through a bit of a tense situation, and I'm trying to clear my head of unnecessary thoughts. This story is just another one I can drop and just forget about any day. so I hope you don't expect daily chapters or amazing grammar. Oh, I'm also using Google translate to render this story in English, so there will probably be a zillion errors.)

....

and that was it…" Ling Yun explained a lie briefly, and easily managed to trick old Jack. 

Fortunately, Ling Yun was good at telling lies, so old Jack didn't notice anything wrong with his story. 

Basically, Ling Yun said that a very powerful old man found him in his near-death state, and saved him with the help of a miracle pill. In return, he should become that elder's disciple and follow in his footsteps.

Furthermore, while telling the story, Ling Yun took out a small clay ball from his pocket.

"This is one of the pills my master gave me. He said it can help a person's body, and slightly increase their lifespan for a few more years."

Old Jack looked briefly at the ball in the young man's hands, and felt that there was something strange. It didn't look surprising at all, and it even had a faint odor of wet clay. However, as his grandson said it was a miracle ball, then it should be.

"Here, I'll give it to you, Grandpa Jack!" Ling Yun said, and then threw the ball into old Jack's mouth.

Meanwhile, at that same moment, Ling Yun mentally spoke, "System, upgrade old Jack's health point once!"

Old Jack didn't even have time to react when the little ball quickly went down his throat.

"Xiao Yun, why did you-" 

Before old Jack could question Ling Yun's movements, he felt his body gradually heat up and his strength returning once more to his previously weak body.

Furthermore, her hair has returned to its previous black color, and most of the wrinkles on her face have also disappeared. 

At that moment, he looked like he had become at least ten years younger again.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully updating someone else's health once. Current health: 19"

"Don't worry about it, Grandpa Jack!" Ling Yun shook his head and smiled. He took one look at old Jack once more, and commented, "Looks like you can't be called Grandpa Jack anymore, Uncle Jack will be more like you now." She teased.

"You… ahh. I just hope you don't regret your choice!" Jack sighed, and then walked into the house with his grandson.

He felt that his grandson, in addition to being recovered in front of him, looked like a completely different person. However, he also felt that this was a common occurrence after such a magical recovery. So he didn't pay much attention to it.

That night, the two of them ate all their soup alone and went to sleep feeling satisfied.

…

The next morning, the entire village was already aware that the sick little boy had fully recovered after being accepted as a disciple by a very strong being.

Not only that, old Jack was also ten years younger after consuming a miracle pill given to him by the old elder. Everyone witnessed the moment when old Jack was walking calmly through the village without needing his old cane for support.

So, whether children, teenagers, or adult men, everyone wanted to get into Ling Yun's good books. After all, being friends with Ling Yun also means being friends with that old elder.

And let's say that everyone there had a great desire to live a few more years. Many old people were really afraid of death, so they appealed by all means to achieve a relationship with Ling Yun.

Of course, there were also some people who didn't care too much about it. For ex: Tang Hao and Tang San from the blacksmith family.

Other than that, many women and mothers of families brought their especially beautiful daughters to meet Ling Yun. There were even some who dared to put on makeup and even wear revealing clothes. (As if they didn't know that Ling Yun was only five years old yet…)

However, with these 'killer' moves his intentions became very clear: to bring his daughters together with Ling Yun through a child marriage while he was still young. .

And to Ling Yun's shock, there were even a few middle-aged widows who found their way to old Jack for help.

And when they didn't get what they wanted, they madly tried to convince him to form a marriage between Ling Yun and his daughters. The relationship didn't matter to them, it was enough that Ling Yun knew of their existence. After all, who knows, right? He might need them someday too…

But how could Ling Yun be content with these strange people? Furthermore, with the help of his system, he was destined to have a life separate from ordinary people. That's why he didn't seek much affection from his 'colleagues' of the same age.

So, in the blink of an eye, a year has passed!

"System, open my status!" Ling Yun said.

…

In this years, even though Ling Yun had not further enhanced his body, he had upgraded many different things. For ex: his appearance was now even more beautiful than before. His reaction speed was faster, and his eyes could also see a long distance, etc…  

Today was a special day in the village of Espírito Santo, as it would be the day when the spiritual master would arrive to awaken each of the children who had completed six years. Ling Yun was naturally among these children, along with Tang San; the original protagonist.

All the year they were in the village, Ling Yun didn't speak much to Tang San. Except for some basic and obligatory conversations, he didn't choose Tang San's side like half the other characters.

So the two were naturally not very good friends.

In front of the huge hall of awakening, there were at least eight or nine children accompanied by their parents waiting for the spiritual master to arrive. 

Meanwhile, Ling Yun was standing not far from the other children. His cold countenance, and aloof personality constantly drew children's attention to himself.

Suddenly Ling Yun looked up, and smiled. Soon after, the spiritual master appeared with a somersault in front of all the children. His chest was puffed out, and there was an extremely arrogant look in his eyes.

At the sight of the children he would have to wake up, a scornful smile crept to his lips.

Seeing the spiritual master arrive, old Jack hurried over with cupped hands and a flattering smile. Even though the man in front of him was at least twenty years younger than him, old Jack knew it didn't matter here. The senior was the strongest, and the weakest could only lower his head and be forcefully repressed.

"Hello, respected spiritual master! This time we're going to depend on senior again." Old Jack greeted him. 

However, the young man only squinted at him and snorted coldly. "Humph, this is just my job! Don't think I'm doing this for you."

Old Jack not only didn't complain about being treated this way, he also smiled before turning to the children who were waiting anxiously.

"Children, this is the spiritual master of Nuodding City. Then he will take you to awaken your own spirits one by one. You must cooperate with him, and obey his orders inside, understood? I, as well as your parents, wait. so much so that any of you can become spiritual masters as strong as our ancestor!"
