Jiang Xin's brow twitched.
"Eldest Senior Sister actually has a System?"
In a daze, streams of information surfaced in his mind.
[Name]: Long Xueyan
[Realm]: Fifth Level of the Void Refining Stage
[Physique]: Battle Demonic Dragon Physique
[System Owned]: Divine Rank Sign-in System (Sign in at special locations to obtain mysterious rewards)
[Favorability]: 80! (Favorability must be higher than 50 to bind with the Soft Rice System!)
These streams of information caused ripples in Jiang Xin's heart.
"Eldest Senior Sister's favorability toward me is actually as high as eighty!"
This was something Jiang Xin had never expected.
He hadn't seemed to do anything special.
Usually, he just took advantage of being her Junior Brother to tease her from time to time.
Of course, this was also based on his looks.
If he didn't possess looks second only to a Fanqie reader, he would probably tease her in the morning and be buried as a corpse by the afternoon.
When cultivation got boring, Jiang Xin would also tell his two Senior Sisters short stories.
Stories like Lin Daiyu uprooting a weeping willow or Liu Bei fighting the White Bone Demon three times.
Could it be that the seemingly cold and aloof Eldest Senior Sister actually had a soft spot for this?
Jiang Xin's thoughts spun through countless cycles in an instant.
Long Xueyan glanced at him, then spoke to the heavily injured Yu Jiang in the distance.
"Get lost. If you dare to act presumptuously on my Tianyue Peak again, it won't be as simple as being heavily injured!"
Yu Jiang didn't dare argue. He quickly clutched his chest and prepared to fly away dejectedly.
"Wait a moment!"
Jiang Xin called out to him.
Yu Jiang's face turned pale as he turned around.
"Senior Brother, what else do you command?"
Jiang Xin said coldly, "You're also participating in the trial in half a month, right?"
Yu Jiang was stunned for a moment before nodding.
"That is indeed the case."
Jiang Xin smiled.
"Then that's good. Remember to eat whatever you want when you get back. Cherish these last two weeks!"
Inside the trial Secret Realm, there are no taboos.
If someone dies at the hands of a fellow disciple inside, no one will investigate afterward.
Hearing this, Yu Jiang's expression turned cold.
He thought disdainfully: Without your Senior Sister's protection, you're just trash. Do you really think you can kill me in the Secret Realm?
After dismissing Yu Jiang, Long Xueyan looked at her Junior Brother with curiosity.
She could sense that in that brief moment, Jiang Xin's state of mind seemed to have undergone a significant change.
From visible hesitation and worry, he had suddenly become full of confidence, as if he had a plan.
Long Xueyan couldn't help but ask, "Are you confident you can successfully pass the trial?"
Jiang Xin smiled.
"I wasn't before, but with Eldest Senior Sister here, I have absolute confidence."
With a full half-month, the System should be able to improve his strength somewhat.
However, these words took on a different meaning in Long Xueyan's ears.
She hesitated slightly.
"I cannot break the Sect's rules, but I will send a message to Master. If she doesn't agree to you participating in the trial, even if the Holy Lord comes, they won't be able to do anything to you."
While speaking, Long Xueyan took out a storage ring.
"These are the Spiritual Plants and Spiritual Fruits I found for you while I was out. They should help improve your cultivation."
Jiang Xin took the storage ring and found it filled with various Yang-attribute spiritual materials.
The area for hundreds of thousands of miles around the Tianming Holy Land was entirely Yin-attribute land.
To find Yang-attribute Spiritual Plants, one had to travel to distant regions.
This showed that the contents of this storage ring must have cost the Eldest Senior Sister a lot of effort.
This made Jiang Xin's heart feel warm.
Eldest Senior Sister was truly too good to him.
Long Xueyan urged him.
"Go back and cultivate well. Strive to reach Foundation Establishment as soon as possible."
With that, she didn't stay any longer and returned to her residence with a cold expression.
Jiang Xin watched her graceful figure as she walked away, his expression somewhat dazed.
In truth, he also had a good impression of this Eldest Senior Sister.
It was just that he had been unable to reach Foundation Establishment for ten years, forcing him to keep his feelings buried deep in his heart.
Now that he had awakened a System, perhaps he could try to pursue more in life.
After returning to his room, Jiang Xin's mind moved, and he chose to perform the binding.
[Host has successfully bound to Eldest Senior Sister Long Xueyan. When she obtains sign-in rewards, the host will also receive a random multiplier of "soft rice" rewards!]
[Congratulations to the host for the first binding. Obtained Newbie Gift Pack: Four-Revolution Nascent Origin Pill, Aura Concealing Technique, Substitute Puppet!]
[Four-Revolution Nascent Origin Pill: Upon consumption, one can immediately advance to the Nascent Soul Stage!]
[Aura Concealing Technique: A Divine Ability secret technique that can actively hide one's aura, making it impossible for others to detect one's specific location. It is an essential divine skill for ambushing others or escaping.]
[Substitute Puppet: A Magic Treasure item that can withstand three fatal attacks. Each time it is triggered, it provides ten seconds of invincibility. Once the uses are exhausted, it can be recharged, with each recharge taking one day.]
The three items from the Newbie Gift Pack made Jiang Xin overjoyed.
The Four-Revolution Nascent Origin Pill could make him an old monster of the Nascent Soul Stage on the spot!
A minor Core Formation Stage cultivator like Yu Jiang—he could knock him to the ground with a single slap.
If he had this pill earlier, that kid probably wouldn't have been able to walk off Tianyue Peak on his own two feet.
Besides the pill that increased cultivation, the other two rewards were also extraordinary.
One was for stealth, while the other granted ten seconds of invincibility.
Even if he encountered a Soul Formation Stage powerhouse, he could escape safely.
And this was just the beginning.
Every time the Eldest Senior Sister obtained a System reward in the future, he would simultaneously receive a critical-hit return.
Even if he completely laid flat, he could still continuously improve.
Jiang Xin didn't think there was anything wrong with being carried to victory.
Compared to working himself to death as a hardcore player, lying flat and enjoying life was the way to go.
Without much hesitation, he swallowed the Four-Revolution Nascent Origin Pill.
"Boom!"
A majestic power exploded within his body.
A tiny Nascent Soul, condensed from energy, slowly took shape within his Qi Sea.
The fist-sized Nascent Soul radiated a dazzling, piercing light as if it were the sun.
Jiang Xin quickly activated the Aura Concealing Technique to hide his aura, preventing the Eldest Senior Sister from noticing the commotion.
"First level of the Nascent Soul Stage! I've crossed three major realms all at once!"
Jiang Xin felt the changes within his body with burning eyes.
He was now fully confident that he could level a hill with a gentle palm strike.
The next morning.
Jiang Xin used the Aura Concealing Technique to appear before Long Xueyan with a cultivation level at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment.
He planned to unlock a bit of his cultivation every day during the next period of time to avoid it being too abrupt if he suddenly reached the Nascent Soul Stage.
Seeing that Jiang Xin had finally reached Foundation Establishment, a hint of relief appeared in Long Xueyan's cold eyes.
"Congratulations to Junior Brother for successfully reaching Foundation Establishment!"
Jiang Xin offered a timely compliment.
"It's all thanks to the Spiritual Plants Senior Sister gave me yesterday. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known when I could successfully break through!"
The cold expression on Long Xueyan's face didn't change, but a glint of something special flashed deep in her eyes.
She seemed to truly appreciate Jiang Xin's praise.
Just as Jiang Xin was about to follow his usual routine and tease her with lines about how he couldn't repay her kindness except by offering himself in marriage—
He heard the sound of something breaking through the air in the Void.
A beautiful figure, whose temperament was not inferior to Long Xueyan's, descended from the sky onto Tianyue Peak.
Jiang Xin focused his gaze.
The newcomer was his Second Senior Sister, Su Yuruo, who had been away for many days.
