Chapter 2: Rewards of Stealing

Jiao Yin, the girl who had just swallowed it all, walked behind Kian with slightly tipsy steps. Her face was flushed, and her lips still trembled a little. Her throat kept bobbing, as if she were trying to enjoy the taste once more.

Jiao Hu, her brother, had already fled in terror.

As Kian made his way up the forested mountain range, he ignored her, his eyes fixed on the floating system screen, waiting for new messages.

[Ding!]

[You have successfully stolen "Jiao Yin" from "Jiao Hu."]

[Jiao Hu has no other existing karmic bonds.]

[Stealing completed.]

[Harvesting complete fortune...]

[Fortune +30]

Just as Kian was about to check what exactly this Fortune could be used for, Jiao Yin’s soft voice broke the silence.

"Immortal... Immortal, what’s your name?"

"Kian."

"Only Kian? Do you have no family name?"

"Don’t ask so many questions," he replied, clearly annoyed, his attention already shifting back to the system screen.

Jiao Yin quickly covered her mouth with both hands, blinking nervously as she fell silent.

Kian thought to himself, ’How weird... A system, huh? Is this some kind of blessing that came with my reincarnation?’

A new bar opened in the system.

[Status]

Cultivation Realm: Mortal Physical Foundation

Qi Sparks: None [+]

Fortune: 30 Points

Shop: (Locked)

Surprised, Kian stared at the status window for a long moment. His eyes soon locked onto the small [+] symbol beside Qi Sparks.

’No way... Can I actually use Fortune to improve this?’

To step into the true path of cultivation and reach the Qi Building stage, one needed to create at least one Qi Spark. Yet no matter how hard the original Kian had tried, he had never even been able to sense Qi.

Without hesitation, he tapped the plus button.

The "None" in his status blurred and vanished. In its place, the number "1" appeared.

A mystical sensation instantly flooded Kian’s mind. It felt as though a hidden fire had suddenly revealed itself in the atmosphere — warm, boundless, and nourishing. Qi. It was everywhere around him.

The entire world seemed to gain a vibrant new layer of beauty.

He turned and looked at Jiao Yin.

’Hm? Her body is leaking its own natural Qi?’

Even mortals possessed trace amounts of Qi, and Jiao Yin was no exception. Right now, it was slowly leaking out of her body. The amount was tiny, but over time it would damage her health. No wonder her face was covered in so many pimples.

Kian didn’t know how to fix something like that yet. He could only ask someone back in the sect when the chance came.

For now, he turned his focus back to the system.

[Status]

Cultivation Realm: Qi Building Stage 1

Qi Sparks: 01 [+]

Fortune: 29 Points

Shop: (Locked)

’Stage 1 of Qi Building...’ Kian thought. ’It allows me to sense the flow of Qi. But a Stage 1 is still much weaker than a Stage 2 Qi Builder.’

After all, a Stage 2 Qi Builder could circulate Qi throughout their body at will. They could strengthen their fists, legs, or any other body part on command.

’But to reach Stage 2, I only need 10 Qi Sparks!’

Without waiting another second, Kian clicked the [+] button nine times in rapid succession.

The bar beside Qi Sparks blurred once more, this time for much longer.

Immediately, he felt the mystical energy around him rushing into his body.

Qi was streaming in.

Sparks were forming rapidly.

"Good!" he muttered under his breath.

A spark — like fire struck from flint — ignited in his chest and settled there. The mere presence of it cleansed his body and mind. But that was only a side effect. The true reward was far greater.

Cultivation Realm Breakthrough!

10 Qi Sparks!

Qi Building Stage 2!

Kian took a deep, satisfying breath.

Normal cultivators needed several months after first sensing Qi just to reach Stage 2. Yet he had gone from nothing to Stage 2 in a single day!

’Fuck...’

With a single thought, he could strengthen his hands or legs with Qi.

It all finally clicked for Kian, and a surge of excitement flooded through him. Without hesitation, he dumped all his remaining Fortune into Qi Sparks.

Once again, his status had changed.

Cultivation Realm: Qi Building Stage 2

Qi Sparks: 30 [+]

Fortune: 00 Points

Shop: (Locked)

The plus icon had turned gray.

’I need 100 Qi Sparks to reach Qi Building Stage 3. What a pity...’

"How do we get to the sect, Immortal Kian?" Jiao Yin asked, as talkative as ever. "Won’t the people who attacked you try to kill you again?"

"Well, he’s about to have a great time," Kian replied with a cold smile.

He still remembered how that Core Disciple, Hua Shulong, had killed the previous owner of this body.

If he charged back into the sect without a plan, the same thing could easily happen again.

’That guy is a Qi Building fourth stage, so I don’t want to mess with him without a plan. But since he thinks I am dead, let’s go hide around in the sect for a while. I know who he is conspiring against; as long as I use this information, there is a lot I can do.’

The core disciples often did not come out of their sect’s core area. And Kian was sure that guy would not talk about murdering a fellow disciple. He would not say it even to his own lackeys.

’Only idiots boast about murder after the fact. I’m sure he never imagined I would survive.’

As long as he didn’t run into that person directly, he should be safe.

Kian walked over to the massive root of an ancient tree and stopped.

Jiao Yin tilted her head. "Why are you standing still?"

"Just wait in silence."

He pressed his palm against the tree. A faint handprint-identifying array lit up. With a low rumble, the trunk slowly split open, revealing a dark staircase leading downward.

"Come on, let’s enter the sect."

"This is the sect?" Jiao Yin asked, peering nervously into the darkness. "It looks so... dark."

"This is only the entrance. It’s different inside."

They descended the stairs together. After a long walk, the steps ended, opening into a vast, bottomless abyss.

Kian suddenly pulled Jiao Yin into his arms, holding her soft body tightly against him, and leaped straight into the darkness.

"WHAT?!" she screamed.

"Hehehe!" Kian laughed wildly.

Immortal assholes and Daoist elders... I’m back!

"Hold on! Hold me tight!"

He gave her round butt a firm slap.

"Ouch!"

He slapped it again.

"Ouch!~"

The endless abyss suddenly vanished. In the next instant, they landed gently on the surface of a shallow pond, ripples spreading outward beneath their feet.

Jiao Yin looked around in pure awe.

An immortal crane glided across the sky, its white feathers shining beneath the morning sun. Each flap of its wings looked smooth and graceful, as if it were dancing through the clouds. A beautiful cry rang from its beak, floating across the land like a song carried by the wind.

Below, ancient trees rose high into the air. Their thick trunks twisted and curved, shaped by countless years. Bright flowers covered every branch. Whenever a breeze swept through the grove, colorful petals broke free and drifted downward, spinning gently before covering the ground like a soft blanket.

The world before her seemed endless.

Grand temples stood atop distant mountains, their golden roofs sparkling in the sunlight. Tall pagodas overlooked quiet lakes where lotus flowers bloomed upon calm water. Stone bridges crossed clear streams that wound through peaceful gardens filled with blossoms of every color. Wherever she turned, something beautiful waited to be discovered.

Thin ribbons of mist curled between the hills, giving the land a dreamlike feeling. The air smelled sweet from flowers growing in every direction. Far away, bells chimed softly, their gentle music mixing with the sounds of rustling leaves and flowing water.

For a moment, she forgot to breathe.

Everything felt calm. Everything felt magical.

"Immortal island!" she shouted in wonder.

"Not an immortal island," Kian corrected with a smirk. "This is the sect grounds of the Hugan Sect."

Standing on the floor, she gawked, her mouth wide open, completely mesmerized.

He casually slipped two fingers into her mouth, gently pulling her along. "Come on, let’s go to my room. It’s not in this fancy area — this is where the Core Disciples live."

Jiao Yin followed him obediently, still dazed by the breathtaking sight as she sucked on his fingers.
