Chapter 1: Transmigrated and Tricked into Becoming a Cauldron
Inside the main hall of the Meiyu Sect.
Xiao Yichen felt the scrutinizing gaze of the stunning woman beside him, and his throat swallowed involuntarily.
"Senior Sister, what kind of sect is this anyway? Is it legitimate? How come whenever I see those Senior Brothers of ours, every single one of them is sallow and emaciated, and their legs shake when they walk?"
"Hehe... Don't worry, little Junior Brother, who even wants to go to a legitimate sect? Just stay here in the sect in peace and comfort, and Senior Sister will take good care of you."
Yun Mei's seductive and alluring coquettish voice reached his ear, making Xiao Yichen shudder all over.
He cast his gaze toward the plaque outside the sect, where the three large characters "Meiyu Sect" continuously battered his mind. For a moment, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"Damn it, I've been tricked into joining a female Joy Sect."
***
One night half a year ago, Xiao Yichen had been up late at home watching suggestive videos. After flicking a crumpled tissue out from under the blankets, he got up intending to smoke a cigarette to calm his post-nut clarity state, only to find that he couldn't find his lighter anywhere. Finally, he randomly tore a piece of yellow paper from beneath the crack of his bed, planning to make do with the gas stove in the kitchen.
Who would have guessed that the very instant that piece of yellow paper was lit, a pitch-black tear appeared out of thin air before him. Before he could even react, a powerful suction force erupted from within the crack and sucked Xiao Yichen straight in. When he woke up again, he found that he had already arrived in this immortal-cultivation world.
At first, Xiao Yichen was somewhat pleasantly surprised, fantasizing about the golden finger from novels, pushing horizontally through all heaven's chosen ones with beauties accompanying him on every side.
As a result, after waiting in the same spot for a full two days, apart from a few wild chickens, he hadn't waited for a single thing.
To avoid starving to death, he set his sights on the game running around the mountain. Yet who could have imagined that he couldn't even defeat a tiny wild chicken, and ended up being chased running wildly everywhere, fleeing toward the foot of the mountain.
Fortunately, along his escape route, he ran into a kind-hearted person who drove that wild chicken away. That kind-hearted person then brought Xiao Yichen to a nearby small mountain village, and from then on, he relied on doing physical labor to make a living.
This stay lasted for several months. During this period, he gained some understanding of this world.
For instance, this world was called the Tiansheng Continent, and the entire continent was further divided into five regions: East, South, West, North, and Center, with a massive number of immortal-cultivation sects taking root in each region.
The people living there were a group of immortals capable of soaring through the heavens and plunging into the earth, capable of anything, which filled him with endless envy.
By chance, hearing that the nearby Qingfeng Pavilion was currently recruiting disciples, Xiao Yichen packed his luggage without stopping to catch his breath, preparing to go try his luck.
Thinking to himself that he was, after all, a transmigrator, he surely possessed some extraordinary traits—such as heaven-defying innate physique or the like. Harboring these glowing hopes, Xiao Yichen spent half a month traversing mountains and rivers before finally arriving at the Qingfeng Pavilion disciple recruitment site.
As a fairly well-known cultivation sect in the vicinity, accepting disciples naturally attracted the gazes of many mortals, all wishing to use this to defy the heavens, change their fate, step onto the path of immortal cultivation, and become those awe-inspiring figures.
Looking at the dense crowd of people surrounding him, stretching endlessly without a head in sight, Xiao Yichen felt a surge of joy in his heart.
"Whoa, so many people. It seems I really didn't come to the wrong place."
Since he had already transmigrated, not cultivating immortals and making a fuss over it would do a disservice to this opportunity.
Standing amidst the crowd, Xiao Yichen was shoved back and forth by the surrounding burly men, slowly shuffling inch by inch toward the registration point.
After struggling through most of the day, he finally obtained the token to participate in the assessment, found a cheap inn nearby, and checked in.
Lying on the bed, Xiao Yichen fantasized in his mind: "If my talent is favored by the sect master and I am taken in as a personal disciple, wouldn't that be incredible? Relying on my own potentially unreasonable, heaven-defying talent, by then, the senior and junior sisters within the sect will practically fall into my hands for the taking, giving me their hearts and throwing themselves into my arms one by one, heh heh..." As he thought about it, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled upward.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, the wall was shattered by a tremendous force, and a figure rushed into the room in a blind panic.
Before he could react, Xiao Yichen was grabbed by the throat and hauled away at top speed toward the distant mountain forest.
"Hmph?" At that moment, his neck was gripped, rendering him unable to speak. He could only let out powerless whimpering sounds while his body was forced by that person to quickly shuttle through the dense forest.
The rustling sound of friction against leaves constantly echoed from behind, making it obvious that someone was giving chase relentlessly.
Right at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared up ahead. He saw the opponent continuously waving their hands in the air, and the next instant, a pale purple ripple swept outward toward their location.
The speed was too fast; the man holding Xiao Yichen had no time to dodge whatsoever and was thus completely exposed to the attack of this purple ripple.
Xiao Yichen felt a tightness in his chest, followed by a sweet taste surging up toward his throat. With a *pfft*, a mouthful of fresh blood spewed from his mouth.
"Pfft... Could my luck possibly be any worse? I can even get grabbed and beaten up just from sleeping?"
Xiao Yichen inwardly complained, casting his gaze toward the person who had just grabbed his neck. At this moment, the other party was faring no better, their speed having dropped drastically. Then, the hand gripping his throat slowly began to loosen. In a short while, that person's body fell straight down, twitching continuously on the ground, while Xiao Yichen, due to momentum, tumbled down right beside him.
Enduring the physical discomfort, he struggled to prop his body up and saw that beside the man, two strange women had appeared out of nowhere.
Both were dressed in crimson thin dresses, looking extremely bewitching and alluring. Their dress hems fluttered, revealing fair and slender jade legs indistinctly, while purple silk ribbons tied around their waists made their slender willow waists even more pronounced. Their charming collarbones and a small patch of faintly visible snowy white chests left one's imagination running wild.
One of the women wore a smile at the corner of her lips, and a pale purple spiritual energy slowly coalesced on her slender jade hand. While Xiao Yichen was still in a daze, the strand of spiritual energy in her hand fiercely struck the abdomen of the man on the ground, and that man merely struggled twice before moving no more.
At this moment, the only thought in Xiao Yichen's head was:
"Two female heroes, please don't get carried away killing and wipe me out along with him. Who did I offend or provoke?"
But as the saying goes, what one fears most comes to pass. After disposing of the man on the ground, the two women turned their gazes toward him and slowly walked in his direction.
A wisp of spiritual energy gently levitated Xiao Yichen, who was on the ground. He wanted to resist, but his bodily injuries left him completely devoid of any great strength, and he accidentally shook loose the token for participating in the Qingfeng Pavilion assessment, which dropped to the ground.
The other woman bent down, gently picked up the token, and after glancing at the characters inscribed upon it, she looked back at Xiao Yichen and slapped a hand directly onto his chest, scaring Xiao Yichen so badly he almost went to meet his ancestors on the spot.
Fortunately, the intense pain he imagined did not arrive. Peeking open his eyes, he saw that the woman before him now had the corners of her mouth slightly upturned. She waved her hand at the companion beside her, and under her gesture, Xiao Yichen was quickly set back down on the ground.
A surge of spiritual energy rushed into his body. Xiao Yichen first felt a wave of numbness, followed by the rapid disappearance of the previous excruciating pain in his body. In a short while, he had completely recovered as good as new.
Before he could speak, he heard the woman holding the token speak into his ear with a hint of bewitchment: "Is the young master intending to head to Qingfeng Pavilion to apprentice?"
Xiao Yichen looked at her, then glanced at the token in her hand, thinking to himself: Isn't this obvious? Why even ask?
Yet, remembering that his little life was still in the other party's hands, he had no choice but to nod repeatedly with a flattering smile.
Having received a definitive reply, the woman gave a shallow smile, unexpectedly tossed the token aside entirely, stepped forward to place her jade hand on Xiao Yichen's chest, and very naturally began straightening his clothes for him, whispering softly in his ear: "With the young master's talent, why bother going to participate in some trial? Why not directly join our sisters' sect instead? I wonder how you feel about this?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yichen took a small step backward, truly unable to bear the actions of the woman's hands, gave a light cough, and said: "I deeply appreciate the kind intentions of the two female immortals, but since I have already registered to participate in the trial, I think—"
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the person before him begin to emit bursts of purple radiance from her hand, scaring him into hastily changing his tune: "I think... I think fate is sometimes just so wondrous. I originally came precisely to join an immortal cultivation sect, but by a twist of fate I have made the acquaintance of two female immortals, and having received such undeserved elevation from the immortals, if I were to refuse again, I truly would be too ungrateful and blind to appreciation."
Hearing Xiao Yichen's words, the woman dispersed the purple radiance in her hand, her face returning to its previous smile. She stepped forward to grab Xiao Yichen's hand and spoke very gently: "Since little Junior Brother has agreed, let us hurry back to the sect. No doubt the senior and junior sisters within the sect are all eagerly welcoming little Junior Brother's joining."
With that, the two of them smiled as they walked toward him, sandwiching Xiao Yichen between them from left and right, supporting his arms, and flying rapidly toward their sect.
Feeling the two soft sensations coming from his arms, Xiao Yichen's heart was a complete mess of panic.
Is this really something a twenty-year-old virgin loser like him is qualified to enjoy? He inwardly cursed under his breath:
"Sin, oh sin... So soft... Sin..."
