Domestic Zone: You already have a system, why join a chat group?

Chapter 2: 2-on-1 Online Tutoring by Top Teachers

The Xiao family's back courtyard, wing room.

As Xiao Yan soaked in the cooling medicinal bath, he stared intently at the screen in front of him while rubbing the ring on his chest, his expression becoming increasingly strange.

Things seemed to be heading in an absurd direction that he had never anticipated.

What do you mean he's the originator of the "rejected engagement" and "trash-to-riches" trope? What do you mean the Xiao family almost produced a Dou Di (Battle Emperor) before? What do you mean Xun'er is his great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother in terms of seniority? And that their relationship is incest? What kind of nonsense is this?!

The amount of information was so overwhelming that Xiao Yan didn't know where to begin his吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments). He felt his head buzzing, his cheeks burning, and a strange sense of absurdity.

Russell: "That's exactly right. Look at Han Li, he accepted it very quickly."

He had just uploaded the truth about the chat group and the plot he knew to the group files, without pretending to be profound.

In his view, it was completely unnecessary and pointless to make a fool of himself in front of these group members.

Whether it's Xiao Yan, who seems carefree but is actually very sentimental, Han Li, who is cautious to the core, or Zhang Xiaofan, who is kind-hearted, or Xiao Yu, as long as you treat them with sincerity, they will most likely reciprocate with sincerity.

Furthermore, since we are all human beings, none of us are much dumber than the other; he simply benefited from having prior knowledge.

People like Han Li, who have been tempered on the brink of life and death, are cautious... well, they can fool others for a while, but not forever. Rather than being exposed and reduced to a clown later, it's better to be open and honest from the beginning, which makes them appear more frank.

Of course, Jackie Chan Adventures and Jade Dynasty: The Russo Legends haven't been uploaded yet. Xiaoyu and Zhang Xiaofan are still children. The former is too wild and might cause a huge mess if he knew what would happen in the future. The latter is too stubborn. If he knew the truth about Grass Temple Village now, his Dao heart would probably collapse.

On the other side, Han Li, who had been singled out by Russell, did not refute the statement. His gaze was fixed on Chapter 404 of Mortal Cultivation.

"Pseudo-spiritual root... Core formation..." Han Li muttered to himself in the cave, his eyes gleaming.

Before this, although he had made thorough preparations, the success of a pseudo-spiritual root core cultivator was a rare occurrence in the entire Tiannan region. As a mere rogue cultivator, how could he not be apprehensive? Now, thanks to Russell, his anxious heart has finally settled down.

Han Li: "I will always remember Fellow Daoist Luo's kindness in enlightening me and imparting his knowledge. If there is any need for my service in the future, I will do my best to help without hesitation."

Russell's lips curled into a smile; that's exactly what he was waiting for.

Russell: "Brother Han, you're too kind. But I do have something I need your help with."

Han Li: "Fellow Daoist Luo, please speak."

[System notification: Group member Russell has uploaded the text "Northern Darkness Divine Art"]

[System notification: Group member Russell has uploaded the text "Lingbo Weibu"]

Russell: "I've just started cultivating, and although I have the techniques, I don't understand them. I would appreciate it if Brother Han could give me some guidance. @Xiao Yan, could you also take a look at my technique?"

Han Li: "These are all minor matters; please allow me to take a look."

A qigong method with extremely high ideals and excellent quality.

After reading the outline, Han Li settled down in his mind about the Northern Darkness Divine Art.

He's now a cultivator who's just one step away from forming his core. Having experienced so much, his horizons are quite broad. Guiding someone through a mere Qi cultivation manual would be a piece of cake for him.

But the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong.

How come... this cultivation technique has absolutely no requirements regarding spiritual roots...?

Xiao Yan: "Wait! Is this the Northern Darkness Divine Art I understand?"

In the chat group, Xiao Yan, who had been tagged, glanced at the text uploaded by Russell and asked curiously.

Russell: "Obviously, that's right. I forgot to mention, I'm currently in the world of Tian Long Ba Bu."

Xiao Yan: "?"

You're so smug, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes!

So you're just not going to install it at all!

Xiaoyu: "Cool!"

Xiaoyu: "Brother Luo, how did you do that?"

Russell: "It's simple, all you need is a system."

Xiao Yan: "What is a system?"

Well, as the protagonist of an old-school novel, Xiao Yan also suffered from the fact that the version was too primitive.

For a time traveler in his era, having an old man in their ring and a small green bottle in their pocket was already considered an extraordinary cheat code.

Where have I ever seen such advanced technology as a system?

Therefore, after Russell explained the definition of the system to the group members, even Han Li, whose Dao heart had been tempered through countless trials, was slightly shaken, not to mention Xiao Yan.

Signing in grants you the Ancient Sacred Body, drawing prizes gives you Pangu's essence blood, and a simple tap of your hand sends your cultivation technique soaring to new heights... Is this something a human could write?

Then what about him risking his life to absorb the strange fire, and getting beaten by the teacher every day like a masochist?

Xiao Yan: "You beast!"

Xiao Yan: "You really deserve to die!"

Xiao Yan: "I refuse to accept this! Come out and fight me one-on-one!"

Russell: "Little Yanzi, calm down."

After a long while, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes. He had absorbed all the medicinal power of the bucket of Foundation Establishment Elixir, and the originally blue liquid had now turned into clear water.

He broke through to the fifth stage of Dou Qi, which should have been a happy thing, but at this moment his heart was filled with nothing but a sea of ​​lemons.

Ugh, so annoying! Why did I have to let him know this?!

He sighed deeply; the things that needed to be done still had to be done.

Xiao Yan spoke up, "I have a cultivation technique here, teacher, could you take a look at it for me?"

"A cultivation technique?" A puzzled voice came from the ring. He had been following Xiao Yan around the whole time, so how come he didn't know when this kid had acquired a cultivation technique? "Let me see it."

Langhuan Paradise.

With the matter of the cultivation technique entrusted to Han Li and Xiao Yan, Russell was finally able to relax.

Next up is the much-anticipated lucky draw! Let's get all the lucky draws started!

A flash of light appeared, the illusory image of the roulette wheel spun, and a series of notification sounds rang out:

[Character Card - Wolf King (If the Wolf King doesn't die, the Sword Saint won't appear)]

[Body Refining Elixir - Sithron (First Dragon of the Nine Dragons' Power)]

[Kidney Tonic (Kidney Tonic tastes amazing! One bottle refreshes the mind, two bottles keep you tireless, three bottles grant immortality! Yay!)]

【Cocoa fruit (a common fruit; Pokémon gain stat boosts after consuming it)】

Looking at the rewards before him, Russell's smile froze on his face, and he suddenly felt that the future was bleak.

……

That very night, Russell received replies from Xiao Yan and Han Li.

The two first uploaded "Bei Ming Divine Art - Russell Custom Foolproof Version (Battle Qi Theory Reference)", "Lingbo Weibu - Modified (Body Technique Optimization)", "Bei Ming Divine Art - Immortal Cultivation Special Edition (Spiritual Qi Absorption Essentials)" and "Lingbo Weibu - Immortal Cultivation Modified Version (Qi Control and Light Body Technique)" respectively. They then spent three whole days and nights in the Tianlong World, exchanging ideas with each other, and finalized the last version of "Bei Ming Gui Xu Jue" and "Zhou You Liu Xu Gong".

This version of the cultivation technique would be a Xuan-level technique in Battle Through the Heavens, and a sect-defining technique that leads directly to Core Formation in A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality.

The details, such as how to guide qi into the body and how qi circulates through the meridians after it has been guided into the body, are extremely thorough and detailed.

Let alone Jin Yong's martial arts novels, even in a cultivation world like Zhu Xian, it would be an extremely superior method.

So, on the third day after crossing over to the world of Tianlong, as dawn broke outside the cave, Russell, who was sitting cross-legged in the blessed land of Langhuan, suddenly felt a tremor in his aura. In his dantian, a cool and solid feeling of energy quietly arose, and then, like a trickle, it began to slowly flow along the established meridians.

The door to spiritual practice was thus kicked open by Russell!
