Chapter 6
One-Click Practice Space!
As expected, fate still favored him!
Originally, he thought that after spending the 300 spirit coins of his subsidy, heâd have to scrimp and save. Who could have imagined that Zhang Hengxing would suddenly appear and bring him a whopping one million coins!
This meant that not only would unlocking new features no longer be a problem, but even upgrading them would be easily handled!
His cultivation speed could now double again!
Amazing!
Subsequently, the two signed a guest elder contract.
A guest elder differed from ordinary minions or hired muscle in two key ways:
Guest elders had absolute freedom and were not required to fully obey the Zhang familyâs orders.
The Zhang family could request assistance from the guest elder, but whether they helped or not was entirely up to the elderâs discretion.
These terms were more than sufficient for Su Xiaobai.
Clearly, Zhang Hengxing was acting in good faith.
If it had been a contract where taking money meant selling his life to others, Su Xiaobai might have hesitated. However, after reviewing the guest elder contract, he didnât hesitate at all and signed immediately!
Of course, the guest elder contract also had certain stipulations.
For example, once a guest elder joined a family, they couldnât simultaneously join another family, or it would be considered a breach of contract.
Additionally, the guest elder was required to assist the family at least once a monthâbig or smallâto justify their compensation.
âZhang Hengxing, at your service, Elder Su!â
After signing the contract, Zhang Hengxing respectfully bowed to Su Xiaobai.
âAll right, all right, weâre classmates and the same age. Just call me Xiaobai!â
Su Xiaobai, in a great mood, waved off such formalities without concern.
âThat wonât do. You are now the Zhang familyâs honored guest elder. Addressing you as Elder Su is only proper!â
As someone from a noble family, Zhang Hengxingâs etiquette was impeccable.
âFine, I wonât argue with you about it. If thereâs nothing else, Iâll head home first!â
Su Xiaobai was eager to return home and unlock his new features.
âElder Su, since youâve joined our Zhang family, would it be possible for you to choose a day to visit the Zhang estate?â Zhang Hengxing asked hurriedly.
âNo problem!â Su Xiaobai agreed readily.
After all, they had given him a million coins. Now that he was their guest elder, a courtesy visit was only proper!
âGreat! I will await your esteemed arrival, Elder Su!â
Zhang Hengxing watched as Su Xiaobai left.
âHa! Finally, our family has succeeded in inviting someone with such high cultivation potential. The Zhang family will surely rise to prominence!â
Zhang Hengxing was certain.
Su Xiaobai would become a massive trump card for the Zhang family in the future!
And he wasnât wrong.
In the future, Su Xiaobai wouldnât just be a trump cardâheâd be a nuclear bomb!
âŠ
Hurrying all the way home, Su Xiaobai didnât even have time to greet his neighbors.
âBrother, youâre back!â
âIâm making dinner. Itâll be ready soon!â
Su Lingâer smiled sweetly at him from the kitchen.
âAll right, just call me when itâs ready!â
Su Xiaobai replied, then quickly went to his room.
âDing! The system has detected that the host now has money!â
âDear host, would you like to spend 200,000 spirit coins to activate new system features?â
The systemâs prompt sounded repeatedly.
âYouâve been nagging me non-stop all the way here!â Su Xiaobai muttered irritably.
This system sure loves money!
It was silent most of the time, but the moment it sensed money, it popped up with endless reminders.
âDear host, would you like to spend 200,000 spirit coins to activate new system features?â
The system asked again persistently.
âFine, unlock it!â Su Xiaobai replied with mock reluctance, though his eager expression betrayed him.
âDing! Activation successful!â
âCongratulations, host, for unlocking the âOne Click Auto-Practice Spaceâ!â
As the systemâs notification rang out, Su Xiaobaiâs consciousness was suddenly transported elsewhere!
The next moment, he found himself in a void-like space.
In front of him was his familiar shadow avatar for one-click cultivation. Beside it, a new shadow figure appeared, standing tall like a sharp swordâa silhouette of Su Xiaobai himself.
âDing! The One Click Auto-Practice Space is currently empty. Please place a cultivation method!â
âPut in the
Basic Body Refining Technique
!â Su Xiaobai said.
The
Basic Body Refining Technique
was the most foundational entry-level martial art taught at school, used primarily for physical fitness. Every student had it.
The only reason Su Xiaobai hadnât mastered even its beginner level was his abysmal aptitude and lack of diligence in practice.
It wasnât entirely his fault, though.
Knowing his poor cultivation potential, heâd given up on the martial path early, opting instead to focus on academics in hopes of securing a stable job after graduation.
âScanning the hostâs brain!â
âBasic Body Refining Technique detected!â
âTechnique placed successfully!â
As the system spoke, the shadow avatar in the cultivation space began moving.
âWhat perfect form!â
A glance at the shadowâs movements made Su Xiaobaiâs eyes light up.
Even his teachers couldnât execute the
Basic Body Refining Technique
with such precision!
In just five minutes, the shadow flawlessly completed the entire routine.
âSo warm~â
As the shadow finished, Su Xiaobai felt a warm current flow through his body, bringing noticeable physical changes.
âDing! Basic Body Refining Technique has reached beginner level!â
âWhat the heck? That fast?!â
Su Xiaobai was stunned.
Cultivation techniques typically required significant time, effort, and innate aptitude.
For others, reaching the beginner level of the Basic Body Refining Technique took months of relentless practice.
But for him? The shadow did one session, and he leveled up!
âWith the space now running 24/7, completing a cycle every five minutes with perfect form, I bet my technique will reach the highest level in just a few days!â
Su Xiaobai was ecstatic.
Cultivation achievements were categorized into [Beginner], [Intermediate], [Advanced], and [Peak].
While the Basic Body Refining Technique was the lowest-tier martial art, mastering it to peak level could still bring substantial benefits.
And the best part?
Others had to practice hard for itâhe didnât!
