Unsurprisingly!
The so-called rules the steward spoke of were all just empty formalities.
Of course, there was a lot of nonsense!
Interestingly, while he didn't explicitly say anything, his veiled hints were quite obvious.
Having lived two lives!
How could Chu Yuan not understand the steward's intentions?
A smile escaped Chu Yuan's lips as he thought about it. "I understand!" he said.
The steward seemed quite satisfied with Chu Yuan's response.
Clearly!
He felt quite accomplished in being able to show off in front of a scholar.
The steward coughed twice.
Then, with his hands behind his back, he shook his head and walked away.
It was clear!
The fat man was in a good mood…
Otherwise, he wouldn't have just walked away, completely forgetting about what he said about taking Chu Yuan to the study.
Shaking his head, Chu Yuan didn't mind. It was a good opportunity to take a leisurely stroll and get acquainted with the layout of the manor.
While the Ye Manor was large!
There were always maids and servants around to ask. It didn't take long for Chu Yuan to find the study.
Inside the study!
The young master of the Ye Manor was not yet there.
Chu Yuan didn't mind. Seeing no one around, he didn't just sit and wait.
With a thought!
He continued to check out the other things he received as rewards from the system.
He had already absorbed the cultivation technique, so he didn't need to pay much attention to it.
…
Then!
Chu Yuan turned his attention to another item.
The Glass Silk Gu!
The moment it appeared before Chu Yuan, he was somewhat surprised.
The so-called Glass Silk Gu was a living creature!
It resembled a golden silkworm, with a glassy sheen on its surface.
It was only the size of a thumb.
But its surface was transparent, radiating a glassy luster. If it hadn't occasionally wriggled, Chu Yuan would have thought it was a delicate ornament.
Not a living creature!
Through the system's description, Chu Yuan finally understood what the Glass Silk Gu was.
The next moment!
A look of astonishment and ecstasy appeared on Chu Yuan's face.
Divine artifact!
This was absolutely a divine artifact!
…
…
Who would have thought?
The Glass Silk Gu, although a kind of Gu worm, could actually transform a person.
They say Nan Zhao is remote!
It's full of poisonous miasma, the roads are arduous and difficult to traverse, and that's why people who raise Gu worms developed there.
The Glass Silk Gu!
Is a very special kind of Gu worm. Unlike vicious and brutal Gu worms, the Glass Silk Gu has no offensive abilities.
Its main function is to transform a person.
Even a fool or cripple could become a genius with the help of the Glass Silk Gu!
Furthermore.
All poisons, venomous insects, and poisonous flowers in the world are neutralized by the Glass Silk Gu.
So it's fair to say that Chu Yuan is immune to all poisons.
Without a moment's hesitation!
Chu Yuan immediately chose to refine this Gu worm.
Suddenly!
The powerful energy of the Glass Silk Gu cleansed Chu Yuan's body.
Countless glass silk threads!
Erupted from the golden silkworm Gu worm, fusing into Chu Yuan's body.
Then.
A wisp of golden glass light flowed through Chu Yuan's meridians.
Forming unique True Qi!
As if it had always been there, originating from Chu Yuan, from his own bloodline.
With the help of the system!
After forming a symbiotic relationship with the Glass Silk Gu.
Chu Yuan immediately discovered that he had inexplicably acquired True Qi, and his cultivation level had soared to the 4th grade.
This means.
Even though Chu Yuan had only just started practicing martial arts, he could be considered a true martial artist.
The term "grade"!
Refers to the classification of martial artists by strength.
Grade 1 is the lowest, and Grade 9 is the highest.
Above Grade 9 is Grandmaster. Legend has it that there are only four Grandmasters in this land.
Don't underestimate the fact that there are only four Grandmasters!
Once a martial artist breaks through the limitations of Grade 9 and becomes a Grandmaster.
They become like a walking nuclear weapon!
Killing a Grade 9.
Is just a matter of snapping one's fingers!
…
…
Then!
Chu Yuan quickly refined the Glass Silk Gu.
He could clearly feel that his aptitude had also improved.
"At least I'm considered a genius!"
Chu Yuan thought to himself.
Today's harvest was truly abundant. He activated the Master System and became a 4th grade martial artist.
He unknowingly grew more excited about the days to come.
A renowned master!
Is he going to make me his disciple and teach me to become a Confucian Sword Immortal?
It's quite interesting, I must say!
It's something to look forward to!
Soon after, the young master of the Ye Manor arrived, escorted by a servant.
And the moment he appeared!
The atmosphere in the study, which had been quiet, suddenly became somewhat strange.
Chu Yuan looked over!
Among the two children who walked in, one had a composure that was beyond his years.
He didn't show the slightest fear or hesitation towards his new teacher.
Instead, his eyes held a hint of scrutiny and judgment.
This kid's interesting!
Chu Yuan chuckled to himself.
He knew that this was the young master of the Ye family…
Ye Xiao.
He was also the well-known illegitimate son of the Nanhai County.
Besides this precocious illegitimate son, there was also a timid little girl.
Her eyes followed the steps of the former, always!
As if she was both curious and apprehensive about this new tutor.
