System allocation

Meanwhile, back at Wei Jin's secluded space, the air around him thrummed with his latent energy. His presence was palpable, enough that Ru Shaonian could easily sense and find him if she wanted to. Yet, as the hours ticked by, she never came.

The old soul, floating lazily nearby, broke the silence. "She didn't come?"

Wei Jin, seated cross-legged and cultivating, opened one eye. "No."

The old soul chuckled awkwardly. "Better luck next time. Besides, don't worry too much.

The main character and she won't, uh, copulate for at least three hundred chapters!" He burst into laughter, his ethereal form shaking. "Hahaha!"

Wei Jin closed his eye and exhaled deeply, trying to maintain his calm. "I know," he said coolly, "but why would I even care?" Then, his brows knitted in frustration. "And why do you keep pushing me to seduce her back? What's your angle, old man?"

The old soul tilted his head, feigning innocence. "It's like a game, kid. You're young. You've got to experience the ups and downs of this kind of thing. Trust me, in the future, you'll thank me for it."

Wei Jin's tone turned skeptical. "The future? Why not just explain it now? Why all this cryptic nonsense?"

The old soul sighed dramatically. "Reading a thousand books won't take you anywhere if you don't take the first step. Experience is the best teacher. You'll understand someday."

Wei Jin snorted. "Hypocrite. Your wife used you like a tool, and yet you never learned anything from it. Why didn't you listen to those womanizers you hated so much? Maybe their advice would've saved you, and now you're urging me to act like them?"

The old soul bristled, his tone rising with indignation.

"You little brat! How was I supposed to know? I already said it to you earlier! She was so good at faking it. And for the record, I hated those womanizers because I thought I didn't need their advice. I believed she loved me."

Wei Jin raised an eyebrow. "So, it was your ego?"

The old soul hesitated, his form flickering slightly. "Yeah. So what? Who doesn't have an ego? We are human! It's normal for us to have an ego!" he grumbled, clearly not eager to delve deeper into his failures.

"Anyway, what's your plan now? You've got a lot on your plate—starting with avoiding your predestined death."

Wei Jin leaned back against a tree, his expression serious. "It'll take time. The first thing I need to deal with is the family. They'll definitely come after me for what I did. The banquet didn't exactly endear me to them."

The old soul nodded gravely. "Right, right. Those Wei Family elders are a real piece of work. They act like a neutral family in public, but deep down, they're nothing more than a bunch of demonic cultivators."

Wei Jin's eyes narrowed. "Even I didn't know that."

The old soul's voice dropped to a conspiratorial tone. "You will. Once you awaken your Inverse Eyes, everything about them will become clear."

Wei Jin scoffed, crossing his arms. "I have no intention of doing that. I'm human, and I don't want to corrupt my body with whatever dark energy those eyes hold."

The old soul sighed, shaking his head. "Fine, fine. You have a system anyway, so you'll probably manage. Whatever you say, kid." He sounded resigned, almost helpless in the face of Wei Jin's stubbornness.

Wei Jin sat up abruptly, his eyes narrowing with purpose. "System," he called out.

Suddenly, a crisp, mechanical voice echoed in his mind.

Ding!

The system's mechanical voice echoed again.

Would the host like to allocate Spiritual Essence to the host's attributes?

Wei Jin furrowed his brows, examining the display that appeared before him.

Wei Jin narrowed his eyes. "Old man, I think you need to step away. I'm about to cultivate, and it might harm you if you're too close."

The old soul's spectral form flickered. "Oh please, just throw me away already. You know I can't move on my own."

Without hesitation, Wei Jin grabbed the old soul's wispy form and hurled it like a ball into the distance. The old man's voice faded as he yelled, "I'm not a toy, you brat!"

Unbothered, Wei Jin shifted into a lotus position, closed his eyes, and began his cultivation.

Soon, the spiritual energy within him churned like a storm, gathering at his core. Wei Jin focused, guiding the essence through his meridians, channeling it to areas of his body and spirit that required refinement.

The energy coursed through his veins like liquid fire, cleansing impurities, sharpening his senses, and fortifying his strength.

He directed it toward his legs, feeling the power of his speed and agility intensify.

It flowed into his arms, amplifying his strength, before moving to his core, solidifying his endurance. Finally, it reached his mind, sharpening his spiritual awareness.

He cycled the essence again and again, weaving it into the very fabric of his being. Every rotation felt like he was tempering steel, his body growing tougher, faster, and more precise.

His breaths became synchronized with the flow of energy, deep and rhythmic.

Each inhalation drew in the surrounding spiritual energy, while each exhalation released the impurities within him.

The process was grueling, with the essence tearing through blockages and forcing his body to adapt.

Time passed—minutes stretched into hours, or perhaps longer.

The world around him seemed to fade, leaving only the hum of spiritual energy and the pulsing beat of his cultivation.

When the process finally concluded, Wei Jin exhaled a final breath, a faint mist of impurities leaving his body.

He opened his eyes, and the world around him seemed transformed.

Colors were more vivid, sounds sharper, and even the smallest speck of dust in the air was visible to him.

Wei Jin glanced at his profile again.

Wei Jin smirked, noting the changes. "So, I've broken through to the tenth stage. A long way to go before I reach the Spirit Foundation Establishment Realm… the same as Ru Shaonian's realm."

Before he could continue his thoughts, a notification appeared before him, accompanied by the familiar ding of the system.

Congratulations for successfully using the system!

The host has unlocked a raffle promo!

Would the host like to spin the wheel for a chance to win rare rewards?

Wei Jin raised an eyebrow. "Raffle?" He was not sure what it was, but he had an idea, and he also knew it was for his benefit.
