Chapter 1: Infinite Extraction System, Extracting the Unsullied Body
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In a martial arts practice field.
Many disciples started to leave as the sky gradually turned dark. Only one figure was still practicing alone. This was no longer a surprise to anyone, and they were already used to it.
“Sigh, this guy is really pitiful. Even after working so hard, his cultivation is still mediocre.” 4
“That’s right. The clan competition is coming soon. I’m afraid that he will be expelled soon.” 4
Listening to the discussions around him, Gu Xi tightened his grip on the sword in his hand. No one mocked him. Most of them were either sympathetic or pitying him. However, it made him feel even more uncomfortable. 16
Gu Xi was like an indefatigable machine, brandishing his sword technique over and over again. However, he was relatively weak compared to his peers. Even the simplest moves would not have any lethality. 2
Thinking that he was about to go for the clan’s test, he was even more depressed. “Rather than continuing to be mediocre, I might as well give it my all!”
Gu Xi tried to change the way his internal energy circulated throughout his body, in order to break through the extremely sluggish meridians. His Blood Qi instantly flowed in reverse. His eyes turned black and he fainted.
When he opened his eyes again, he felt different. His eyes exuded a trace of sharp aura, like a blade that was about to be unsheathed. He looked the same, but it felt like he had changed into a different person. 2
Gu Xi looked at his surroundings, and suddenly, many memories surged into his mind. After a while, he finally absorbed them all. He could not help but sigh and say, “Wow, I’m simply trash.” 6
It was completely different from what he had imagined.
There was no bitter revenge, no breaking of any engagements. There was no drama about some genius that fell from grace. It was completely different from the novels and stories that he had read or heard in the past. 4
His body was pure mediocrity, and his talent was simply not good enough. After practicing for 18 years, he was still a nameless branch disciple in the clan. He was still a disciple who could not even enter the outer sect. He had just advanced from the Body Refining level 1 to level 3. 4
To put it simply, his talent was dull. He was like a piece of rotten wood that was impossible to carve. If he had some talent, he would have far surpassed his current cultivation level after practicing for so long.
Gu Xi’s expression suddenly became complicated. “No way, no way. Do I have to live a mediocre life like this? What’s the point of cultivating? I might as well just go home and tend to a farm.” 13
With just this bit of cultivation, he could easily be crushed to death. Originally, Gu Xi had thought that he could show off his skills in the fantasy world, but his red-hot passion was instantly doused by the cold reality. 1
Nobody could say that he worked hard. He worked very hard indeed. Every day, he would either cultivate or be on the path of cultivation. It was common for him to cultivate until the middle of the night. 1
With his frantic cultivation, he even found a way to circulate his spiritual energy. If he was not careful, such a practice would even kill him.
However, what was the use of working hard? If his talent was bad, there was nothing much he could do. After working hard for so long, there was nothing to show for it. There was no progress at all.
“Alright, it’s been like this for 18 years. I should forget about it. I might as well just go home and farm.” 1
Gu Xi could not help but sigh.
Ding dong– 5
Suddenly, Gu Xi felt something change, and a mechanical notification sounded in his mind.
[Infinite Extraction System activated]
[Successfully bound to the host, Gu Xi] 1
[System activating]
“Infinite Extraction System? What is this thing?”
[The system can be used to extract impurities] 2
Gu Xi did not expect this system to be so intelligent that it could even answer his question. However, this answer puzzled him. 1
Extract impurities?
Other novels were all about extracting talents and attributes. What was the use of extracting impurities? 1
[Extracting impurities is preserving essence] 1
The system was very concise as if it was programmed to give answers that Gu Xi could not fully understand.
[Detected trillions of toxins in the host’s body] 10
Suddenly, Gu Xi felt as if his entire body had split open. If there were trillions of toxins in his body, would he not have died from the poison long ago? This was simply nonsense. He could not help but complain, “Is the system okay? Could it be some low-quality counterfeit product?”
[For example, the meridians of the human body are like countless tributaries. There is True Qi flowing through them, and all paths lead to the same destination. Eventually, it will gather in the Dantian. However, humans are born with a mortal body, and there are many impurities and toxins in it. These are like clogged sludge, making it difficult for the True Qi to function normally. In the end, very few can enter the Dantian.]
This time, the system spoke more, but Gu XI was still confused.
[Would the host like to extract the impurities?]
“Go ahead, I’ll see what you can extract.” 1
Since he was so untalented, he felt like he had nothing to lose. How could it possibly get any worse? 4
As soon as he finished speaking, he could feel a warm current surging into his body, flowing through his eight extraordinary meridians. The level of inner energy instantly soared.
If the True Qi in Gu Xi’s body was like a dried-up stream before, it was now like a surging flood, washing away the impurities and filth in his limbs and bones over and over again. Countless toxins were expelled along with this power.
It was as if something in his body had been awakened. He felt relaxed, and his body felt as light as a swallow.
Gu Xi did not know that his facial features had changed. He was clearly still the same person, but there was an extraordinary aura about him. His black eyes became deeper and deeper, like little cold stars. 2
The night was boundless, and only the stars twinkled, witnessing the moment full of miracles.
Level 4, level 5, level 6…
The internal energy in his body was rising at a terrifying speed. Gu Xi went from Body Refining level 3 to level 9. If ordinary people saw this, their jaws would definitely drop.
After the Body Refining stage, one would enter the Qi Refining stage, and then the Foundation Establishment stage. Foundation establishment could be said to be a watershed, and it was difficult for ordinary martial cultivators to achieve it.
Gu Xi was only at Body Refining level 3 after such a long time. One could imagine how bad his aptitude was.
Now, he had reached Qi Refinement stage in a short period of time. No one would believe this speed. Even the most outstanding genius in the entire continent had never been able to cultivate at such a speed.
When Gu Xi opened his eyes again, he was almost shocked by himself.
His entire body exuded an indescribable smell, like pickled vegetables that had been pickled for many years. In fact, Gu Xi almost died on the spot from the extraction. 2
Most importantly, his body was covered in black stains. It was all the residual toxins and impurities that had been expelled from his body. Those who did not know would think that he had not bathed for a long time. 1
[Congratulations to the host for cultivating the unsullied body. From now on, no matter what cultivation method you choose to cultivate, it will have a 10,000 times amplification.] 14
Following the system’s notification, Gu Xi’s eyes lit up.
