Chapter 15: Surprise Gift Pack
In half a year, Feng Shi planted and identified herbs while cultivating diligently, finally breaking through from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
Feng Shi persisted in checking in and lucky draws every day, refusing to let go of a single point. He also won a few high-grade spirit stones and several low-grade talismans in the lucky draws.
Additionally, because Feng Shi was famous in the outer sect for having a good temper and good looks, he accumulated quite a lot of passerby favorability. Of course, most of the favorability was provided by females. Although there were quite a few males hostile to him, because they were too busy, the negative points caused weren’t many.
Overall, favorability was increasing, which Feng Shi felt was not bad.
Now, Feng Shi’s small private treasury had collected quite a few things. There were medicinal herbs for strengthening the body rewarded by the outer sect, and some poor-quality medicinal herb seeds. The System said they could be repaired later, so Feng Shi kept them.
And…
Feng Shi looked at the stacks of secret manuals and some magical artifacts in the account.
These were all secretly given to him by Xu Yan, hidden in his Qiankun bag. Feng Shi only discovered them a long time after coming out.
These cultivation method manuals covered a lot and could support Feng Shi’s cultivation to above the Golden Core stage.
Touched, Feng Shi could only cultivate even harder.
Although he had hidden his true strength, even just being at the Qi Refining stage easily attracted jealousy in the outer sect.
A few people who had already introduced Qi into their bodies always liked to come and challenge him. After winning twice, Feng Shi started pretending to lose. Later, he simply ignored them. Those few people couldn’t stand him and started spreading rumors everywhere that he was trash.
Hearing this, Feng Shi still looked like “you are all right,” not refuting at all.
Jin He, on the other hand, explained for him quite a lot behind the scenes.
Speaking of Jin He, Feng Shi felt it was a great pity.
Such a good person, yet he had no cultivation talent whatsoever. No matter what method Feng Shi used, he couldn’t find a trace of a sign that he had spiritual roots.
Just a mortal body of flesh.
Feng Shi didn’t want to lie to Jin He and could only tell him: With his current strength, he was also powerless.
Jin He seemed to have guessed the result and wasn’t too sad, but Feng Shi could still sense his faint disappointment: “Actually… be, being a, ordinary, ordinary person like Mother, is also, quite good.”
“En, if there’s a chance in the future, I’ll take a look for you again.” Feng Shi patted his shoulder and smiled.
Jin He nodded vigorously.
In half a year, Feng Shi broke through smoothly. Conversely, Elder Han’s cultivation made no progress. Helpless, he could only go out for training.
It wasn’t until another half a year later, nearly ten days before the Inner Sect Grand Trial, that Elder Han hurried back.
Without stepping out of his house, Feng Shi heard the good news of the other party breaking through Foundation Establishment and gaining another hundred years of lifespan.
Unlike the sect recruitment every ten years that considered talent regardless of cultivation, the Inner Sect Grand Trial was set up specifically for outer sect disciples and loose cultivators with cultivation abilities. And the Foundation Establishment stage was the stepping stone for the Grand Trial.
Elder Han was already at Foundation Establishment; he would probably also participate in the Grand Trial.
Feng Shi had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment recently but hadn’t felt the trend of forming a core and breaking through for a long time.
But that was true; how many people’s path to immortality stopped forever at the peak of Foundation Establishment. Forming a Golden Core wasn’t easy to begin with. Feng Shi didn’t force it; letting nature take its course was fine.
Right now, entering the inner sect to complete the mission was the priority.
Feng Shi asked Jin He to submit the nomination for him. Two days later, he received a silk scroll printed with rules and a nameplate carved with his name and serial number.
The Grand Trial stipulated that participants couldn’t carry magical artifacts. Burst-type pills couldn’t be taken two days before the trial. Even weapons could only be the ones uniformly issued by the sect.
The competition relied entirely on one’s own strength, which was considered fair.
Feng Shi’s number was already two hundred and eight. Presumably, since the Chongshan Sect was powerful, there were many who wanted to come.
Two days before the exam, Feng Shi bid farewell to Jin He and arrived at the competition venue.
The venue for the Grand Trial was set in the inner sect. An entire mountain top served as the competition ground. Feng Shi walked up in a low profile all the way and picked a residence with few people to stay temporarily.
Besides the inner sect disciples organizing the competition, the people around were all strangers, currently discussing their thoughts fervently while secretly competing with each other.
Feng Shi had no interest in joining them. Lying on the bed, legs crossed, he checked in and drew prizes on the System.
Because it was the System’s 90th Anniversary Celebration recently, the entire panel had changed from blue to a festive red, lively and dazzling.
After claiming double the usual points from check-in, Feng Shi clicked the lucky draw casually. The orange-red large wheel spun rapidly and slowly pointed to one of the options under Feng Shi’s calm gaze.
Subsequently, a line of large characters suddenly popped up on the panel, scrolling frantically.
【Congratulations Host! Joy to Host! Finally drew the Grand Prize!】 Qingqing jumped out with godspeed. Even the usually stiff mechanical voice revealed a hint of joy, as if the son it raised with hardships finally made it proud.
Feng Shi was confused, looking at the row of bright red bold characters on the panel, unable to react for a moment.
A moment later, he shot up from the bed, rubbing his eyes in shock: “F*ck! Did I see it correctly?!”
The conversation in the room vanished instantly. Everyone looked at him in shock.
Feng Shi reacted, smiled at them, then got up and went out to find an uninhabited corner.
The few cultivators in the room looked at each other, finally shaking their heads in unison: “Probably insufficient talent, went crazy from cultivation.”
Outside the door, Feng Shi opened the panel again and pocketed the reward.
Qingqing’s chubby body spun a circle happily: 【Congratulations Host on obtaining the Anniversary Celebration Special Prize, a Surprise Gift Pack:
Gift Pack Content: 1: Two opportunities to break through strength limits and kill enemies above one’s level! 2: One personal space! 3: One Heart-Linked Puppet! 4: Opened Purchase Authority, Consecutive Draw Authority】
Feng Shi clicked on details.

【Purchase Authority, Consecutive Draw Authority: Mall opened to Host, can use points to purchase corresponding items! Can use points to exchange for lucky draw chances. Consecutive draws have a higher probability of winning!】
Feng Shi looked at the text filling the entire panel, heart trembling and hands shaking, tears of gratitude flowing, almost kneeling down to hug the panel and call it Sugar Daddy.
Surprise Gift Pack, indeed surprising enough!
Two days ago, he was still complaining that the System was stingy every time, only giving a few broken spirit stones that were useless. He didn’t expect such a big surprise to hit his head so quickly.
With these things, entering the inner sect was a sure thing.
Feng Shi couldn’t stop smiling. He played a few rounds of Lianliankan before gradually calming down.
【Happy time is over. Now issuing a new mission for the Host~】 Qingqing blinked at him.
