Chapter 14: Changes to the Sacred Body
What is social death? This is social death!
After being discovered by his senior sister doing something like that, how was he ever going to face her again!
Su Yan was so embarrassed he wanted to die, unsure of how he would face his senior sister in the future.
But fortunately, after all that commotion, the lust in his body had subsided. It seemed the pill’s effects had worn off.
“I’ll explain it properly tomorrow.”
Su Yan sighed. After taking the Body Tempering Pill, he felt his body had become much stronger. The inherent weakness debuff that men in this world had seemed to have been significantly offset.
“It’s improved by about double.”
Su Yan clenched his fist. His physical constitution had been inferior to a woman’s, but now it was almost on par. He would no longer be a pushover.
“This pill is actually useful.”
Su Yan felt a surge of joy, and his wounded heart received a little comfort.
After confirming the changes in himself, Su Yan checked the mission reward he had just received.
“A wisp of Pure Yang Qi! What is this?”
Although he had been interrupted by his Eldest Senior Sister and hadn’t satisfied himself with his hand, he had intended to, so the system judged that he had completed the mission. The reward had already been distributed, waiting for him to claim it.
Su Yan looked at the item description.
[Pure Yang Qi: A special spiritual energy naturally born between heaven and earth. It has the effect of improving aptitude and is only effective on men. Women cannot use it.]
[PS: If the user possesses a Pure Yang Body, it will have a special effect.]
Su Yan’s eyes widened. His physical constitution had improved, and now it was his aptitude?
Slowly shoring up his weaknesses—this was practically tailor-made for him!
Wait. Su Yan saw the note at the end of the item description and asked warily, “What does this ‘special effect’ mean? Are you trying to scam me again?”
He had just been scammed once. He wasn’t going to fall for it a second time!
[The host is overthinking. This is not a side effect, but a positive one.]
Hearing the system say this, Su Yan relaxed a little. He lightly tapped the system interface, and a translucent wisp of clear qi appeared and entered his body.
Su Yan couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan. It felt as if he had eaten a panacea; his entire body felt incredibly comfortable.
[Special physique detected in user.]
[Hidden effect activated. Pure Yang Body level +1]
In online games, all equipment has an enhancement option. As Su Yan understood it, the Pure Yang Qi was an enhancement material for his Sacred Body, capable of upgrading his physique.
It could make the effects of his Pure Yang Body stronger. When he… communicated with a woman, she would receive greater benefits and be more… nourished.
But the key issue was…
“What the hell am I supposed to do with this stupid physique!?”
Su Yan felt as sick as if he had swallowed a fly.
The evolution of his Sacred Body was useless to him. It would only benefit women, making them want to force themselves on him even more. This reward was a total scam!
Su Yan had no intention of stirring up trouble. His greatest wish was to become an invisible nobody in the sect, find a gentle and virtuous wife, and live out his life in peace.
The only reason he was so focused on becoming stronger was to have the power to protect himself.
And now…
“Are you trying to get me killed faster!”
Su Yan shuddered. He was already quite famous in the cultivation circle. It was only because of the Transcendent Immortal Sect’s protection that no one dared to provoke him.
Now that his physique had been upgraded, it would even be effective on high-level cultivators. If his true nature was seen through, those who coveted him would surely become even more frenzied, and the chances of him encountering danger would increase dramatically.
“No, this matter must be kept secret!”
Su Yan clenched his fists, but he soon realized that it seemed impossible to hide.
When he went to wash himself, he saw his reflection in the water. His skin was as white as fine jade, and upon closer inspection, it seemed to be emitting a faint, fluorescent glow.
“What’s happening to me!”
Su Yan panicked a little. He hurried to the bronze mirror and saw a young man with red lips and white teeth.
His pair of black eyes were like those of a newborn fawn, unimaginably pure. A single glance was like the gentle pawing of a kitten, scratching lightly at one’s heart.
His skin was fairer, his cheeks more tender, his appearance more alluring…
“What’s with this uke look!”
Su Yan was furious. He had just been thinking about hiding it, but with such a drastic change, how could he possibly hide it! The system was clearly targeting him!
Su Yan sighed. He felt there was a big problem with the system.
During the day, it wanted him to force himself on his junior sister. At night, it wanted him to seduce his senior sister. And now, it had even enhanced his looks. Its intentions couldn’t be more obvious.
“You’re not a Choice System, you’re a Lewd System.”
Su Yan took a deep breath. What was done was done, and it was too late for regrets.
Although he was troubled by his increased charm, cultivators had firm minds. He figured they probably wouldn’t be overcome with lust and do something irrational.
“Probably not.”
Su Yan comforted himself.
After his bath, he covered himself with a blanket and went to sleep.
…
The next day, just as the sky began to show the first light of dawn, Su Yan woke up.
The reason he got up so early was to take advantage of the sparse crowd at this hour to retrieve the medicinal pills as quickly as possible.
Yesterday, his Master had entrusted his little junior sister to him. Su Yan had to take responsibility and guide her through the gates of cultivation.
For a mortal to cultivate, they first needed to cultivate spiritual qi. A Qi Guiding Pill could shorten this process and was an essential item for a cultivator’s foundation establishment.
He had thought this trip would be very smooth, but an unexpected encounter occurred at the entrance of the Pill Pavilion.
“It’s you?”
Seeing Su Yan, an embarrassed expression appeared on Qin Yimeng’s face.
Su Yan blinked. Isn’t that a Healing Pill in Senior Sister Qin’s hand? A pill specifically for treating external injuries.
Seeing the way her rear swayed as she walked, could it be that she had been beaten by his senior sister yesterday, and in such an embarrassing place?
Su Yan wanted to pretend he hadn’t seen anything to save Qin Yimeng some face, but you know how the system is.
[Option 1: Put on a curious expression and ask, “Eh, Senior Sister, why is your butt swollen? Did someone hit you?” (Reward for completion: Low-grade spiritual weapon, the Wind and Fire Fan)]
[Option 2: Comfort Qin Yimeng, speak ill of Xiao Wu, and blame her for going too far yesterday. (Reward for completion: Spiritual plant, the Vermilion Fruit)]
[Option 3: Walk away silently. (Reward for completion: Aptitude +1)]
Su Yan only glanced at the options before decisively choosing the third. After claiming the mission reward, he silently walked past her.
Qin Yimeng’s expression was very unpleasant, but at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She really didn’t want to talk about the injury on her rear.
…
Only after entering the Pill Pavilion did Su Yan let out a sigh of relief.
Qin Yimeng’s aura was too strong. He had annoyed her yesterday; he didn’t know if she would beat him up.
Fortunately, that didn’t happen. Otherwise, he would have been in a miserable state!
“Why is she always targeting me!”
Su Yan was very puzzled by this. He then shook his head. It was probably just that their personalities clashed.
After entering the Pill Pavilion, Su Yan found the deacon and stated the pills he needed.
The Pill Pavilion deacon was a beautiful young woman. Upon seeing Su Yan, she became very enthusiastic.
“Junior Brother needs Qi Guiding Pills? Big Sister will help you look for them.”
