Synopsis:
The dog he raised turned out to be a Demon Venerable, sweeping across the demon realm. The pond of carp he kept all leaped over the dragon gate and transformed into Azure Dragons of the Nine Heavens? The little beggar he picked up and casually enlightened actually became a generation of Human Emperor? Ye Qingyun expressed that he was speechless. Trapped in the deep mountains for a full ten years, he finally stepped out into the outside world, only to discover that he was actually an unrivaled expert?
Chapter 1: This is the Punishment for Public Urination!
"I... have finally come out!"
On a mountaintop, Ye Qingyun knelt on the ground and wailed bitterly.
He had been trapped on this mountaintop for a full ten years.
Ten years ago, Ye Qingyun time-traveled.
He originally thought that he had come to a world where cultivation was possible, that a golden finger would descend, and that he would reach the pinnacle of his life.
Just as he was full of anticipation, Ye Qingyun discovered that the world he was in was only as big as a single mountaintop.
It was as if an invisible barrier surrounded the mountaintop, isolating Ye Qingyun's peak from the outside world.
Fortunately, a Saint-Making System truly descended upon him.
Just when Ye Qingyun thought he was really going to reach the pinnacle of his life, he found that this so-called Saint-Making System only taught him some bizarre and eccentric things.
Things like the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, physics and chemistry, mechanics and electronics...
Even motherfucking cooking and animal husbandry were taught to him in painstaking detail.
Over the ten years, apart from cultivation, Ye Qingyun had mastered everything the system taught him.
Moreover, he had even earned the title of Omnipotent Saint.
God knows what use this title of Omnipotent Saint was?
If it were in his previous world, Ye Qingyun wouldn't have to worry once he mastered these skills; he would undoubtedly become a man above men.
Yet he was trapped on this mountaintop, so no matter how many skills he had, they were useless.
Just a moment ago, Ye Qingyun woke up to take a piss and discovered that the barrier around the mountaintop had vanished.
He could finally walk out into the outside world.
Ye Qingyun wept tears of joy, forgetting even to pull up his pants.
Just as Ye Qingyun wanted to go outside and frolic, a devoid-of-emotion voice sounded.
"In view of the host's atrocious behavior of public urination, the system feels extreme anger and therefore terminates its bond with the host."
"Wishing the host well in the future and to mind your manners."
"Goodbye..."
Ye Qingyun was dumbfounded.
What the fuck...
When I used to piss everywhere in the past, why didn't you terminate the bond with me?
Now that I can go out, you pull this kind of stunt on me?
"Don't do this!"
Ye Qingyun hurriedly begged.
Unfortunately, the system had truly departed.
"I, your fucking..."
Ye Qingyun beat his chest and stamped his feet, standing on the mountain cursing for a full ten minutes.
A large golden dog walked out of the house with a sleepy-eyed expression, looking at Ye Qingyun somewhat perplexedly.
This large golden dog was a reward given to him by the system. Ye Qingyun had raised it for ten years and even gave it a name: Damao.
After cursing for a while, Ye Qingyun felt it was pointless, so he composed himself to go down the mountain and see the world.
"Damao, stay here and watch the house; I'll be right back."
Giving instructions to Damao, Ye Qingyun went down the mountain.
Ten years.
Ye Qingyun had looked forward to the outside world for a full ten years, and now that he could finally walk out, naturally he wanted to have a good look.
Down the mountain, however, two figures were stumbling and fleeing in panic.
Both of these individuals were women, appearing to be a mistress and her maid.
"Princess, what should we do?"
The maid in green was panic-stricken, closely following behind the red-robed young girl ahead.
This red-robed young girl had bright eyes and white teeth, and was breathtakingly beautiful, yet at this moment her expression was frantic, terror still lingering in her eyes, making her all the more pitiful.
"To think the Song Family would be so brazen as to send people to assassinate me!"
The red-robed young girl pulled the green-robed maid along, running for their lives.
Not far behind them, dozens of men in black were in hot pursuit, every single one of them wielding sharp blades and radiating a murderous aura.
"Kill Princess Tianyao! We absolutely cannot let them escape!"
The leading man in black shouted, urging the others to quicken their pace.
Princess Tianyao suddenly raised her head to look.
"Huh? Isn't this Fuyun Mountain shrouded in black mist year-round, making it impossible for anyone to approach? Why has the black mist completely dissipated today, and even a profound glow is manifesting?"
Princess Tianyao felt puzzled in her heart.
There was no time to ponder further, however, and she pulled her maid straight toward the mountain.
"Let's hope we can escape this disaster!"
Reaching the summit, after passing through a grove of green trees, a courtyard came into view for the two women.
Both women were exceedingly shocked.
"Someone actually lives in this place?"
"What a peculiar courtyard! It looks fresh and elegant, refreshing the mind and delighting the soul."
Princess Tianyao curiously appraised this courtyard, for a moment even forgetting that someone was hunting them down from behind.
Everything here was completely different from the courtyards she had seen in the past.
It looked utterly ordinary, but for some reason, everything here appeared so harmonious and smooth, blending perfectly with the surrounding scenery.
It made one unconsciously immerse oneself in it.
"Could it be that some reclusive expert lives here?"
Princess Tianyao's eyes lit up.
If a reclusive expert truly lived here, perhaps they could save her life.
"Let's go take a look."
The green-robed maid, however, was somewhat worried. "Princess, could there be danger?"
Princess Tianyao, nonetheless, stepped directly into the courtyard. Greeting her eyes were a vegetable garden, a stone table, a few stone stools, and a bamboo-woven recliner.
It looked no different from an ordinary household.
"Is anyone here, please?"
Princess Tianyao called out.
No one responded.
Only a large golden dog sauntered out from the house.
"Princess, there's a dog!"
The green-robed maid shrieked in fright.
Princess Tianyao's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
She was not afraid of dogs, but this dog was clearly very ordinary.
The person living here, then, was probably just an ordinary person.
An ordinary person couldn't possibly save her.
At that moment, the men in black had already caught up.
"Princess Tianyao, stop running; there's no way out now."
The leader of the men in black sneered relentlessly.
Princess Tianyao's face drained of color.
"If I die, not a single one of you will survive."
The leader of the men in black chuckled derisively.
"Once you're dead, us brothers can get our reward and live it up in carefree bliss. What can your father do then?"
"You!"
Princess Tianyao's complexion turned deathly pale.
At this moment, Damao, who had been lying on the ground looking sleepy, let out a yawn.
"Attack! Capture the two of them!"
"Let us thoroughly enjoy ourselves first, and then send them on their way!"
"Hehe, you got it!"
The men in black rushed forward with weird grins.
Princess Tianyao and her maid both fell into despair.
Just then, an unusual aura enveloped the surroundings.
Every single man in black became completely immobilized, each one acting as if they had fallen into a quagmire.
"What is going on?"
The leader of the men in black was terrified out of his wits, his eyes scanning the surroundings without spotting anyone else.
"What expert is here?"
He shouted again, still receiving no response.
The next moment, Damao stood up and shook the golden fur on its body.
"My master is out. Don't fight here; if you ruin the flowers and plants here, my master will be displeased."
A dog spoke?
Everyone was startled.
"A dog demon?"
The leader of the men in black stared fixedly at Damao, his face full of uncertainty and doubt.
"Just a mere dog demon, and you dare to act presumptuously here?"
The leader of the men in black roared, a formidable aura erupting forth—he was shockingly a martial arts expert.
The next moment, however, a massive golden dog paw descended from the sky.
BOOM!
With a loud crash, the leader of the men in black, along with a dozen other men in black, were all smashed into a bloody paste.
Princess Tianyao and her maid stood frozen on the spot, feeling as if they were in a dream.
Chapter 2: Its Head Gone in a Single Claw
A dozen men in black had just been smashed to death like that?
Princess Tianyao and the other woman rubbed their eyes, utterly unable to believe what they were seeing.
"Princess, this..."
The green-robed maid opened her mouth, but not a single word came out.
Princess Tianyao abruptly turned her gaze toward the large golden dog, shock and reverence in her eyes.
She was also a martial artist.
And her strength was not weak.
Yet compared to that leader of the men in black, there was still a considerable gap.
In Princess Tianyao's eyes, that leader of the men in black was already very strong.
Yet they had been killed in an instant.
This large golden dog was definitely a terrifying demon beast in terms of strength!
And what kind of existence would its master be, the one it spoke of?
An absolute reclusive expert!
"Xiaoqing, we're saved!"
Princess Tianyao gripped her maid's hand excitedly.
Xiaoqing had yet to recover from her shock, but hearing Princess Tianyao's cry, she snapped back to her senses.
"Miss, that was such a huge dog paw just now, and they all got smashed to death."
Xiaoqing said in a daze.
Princess Tianyao forcefully suppressed her excitement, bowed and cupped her fists toward Damao.
"This... senior dog?"
Damao yawned, maintaining that sleepy-eyed look.
"My master has always wandered through the mortal world and dislikes others treating him as a reclusive expert. If my master returns, you must treat him as an ordinary person, understand?"
Princess Tianyao was startled.
Then she nodded repeatedly.
"Truly a reclusive expert! His temperament is indeed this eccentric!"
Damao stuck out its dog tongue and swept it across the corpses of the men in black.
In an instant, all the corpses of the men in black were sucked into Damao's mouth.
Swallowed in two or three gulps.
Not even a trace of blood was left on the ground.
As if nothing had happened at all.
Right at that moment, a figure walked over from not far away.
Ye Qingyun!
He was back.
He had wanted to go down the mountain to see the world, but the moment he reached the foot of the mountain, Ye Qingyun had a second thought: that crappy system hadn't taught him any cultivation at all.
I am fucking weakling through and through. If I encounter any danger, wouldn't I kick the bucket on the spot?
Forget it, forget it.
The foot of the mountain was too dangerous; staying on the mountain was much safer.
And so, Ye Qingyun had slunk right back.
"Huh?"
Noticing two women standing outside his courtyard, Ye Qingyun froze instantly.
No way?
My luck is this bad?
Someone found my lair?
These two women didn't look like pushovers at all.
Ye Qingyun turned around, wanting to leave.
But Princess Tianyao had already spotted him.
"Se... Senior— Young Master, please stay!"
Princess Tianyao had wanted to call him senior, but remembering the large golden dog's warning, she hurriedly changed her form of address.
Helpless, Ye Qingyun could only bite the bullet and walk over.
"Uh, do the two of you need something?"
Ye Qingyun forced his composure and revealed a smile.
Princess Tianyao could not sense the slightest bit of martial artist aura from Ye Qingyun, which involuntarily made her heart turn solemn.
"This person's cultivation is unfathomable. I can't sense even a shred of aura from him at all. Too terrifying!"
Princess Tianyao had no idea.
The man before her, whom she deemed unfathomable, was actually an ordinary person without half an ounce of cultivation.
"Young Master, my servant and I were hunted down and unintentionally fled to this place. Please forgive us, Young Master!"
Princess Tianyao said apologetically.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyun thought: hunted down?
They aren't going to drag their trouble to my doorstep, are they?
I don't want to die!
Seemingly afraid of incurring Ye Qingyun's displeasure, Princess Tianyao quickly spoke up again.
"Young Master, rest assured, our pursuers have already been dealt with."
"Oh, that's good then."
Ye Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief.
Damao at the courtyard gate also lazily yawned.
"Has Young Master lived here all this time?"
Princess Tianyao asked curiously.
"Yeah, I've lived here for ten years."
Ten years?
Princess Tianyao recalled the legends of Fuyun Mountain.
The summit of Fuyun Mountain was shrouded in black mist year-round; some said it had been shrouded for a hundred years, while others said it had appeared a thousand years ago.
In short, the black mist on Fuyun Mountain had existed for many, many years—so long ago that no one could remember clearly anymore.
Yet the person before her claimed he had lived here for ten years?
"Judging by the look of this place, it's definitely been here for much longer than ten years. This person probably settled here long ago, but no one knew about it."
Princess Tianyao speculated inwardly.
"Come inside and sit."
Ye Qingyun warmly invited the two women.
For the past ten years, Ye Qingyun had truly been lonely for far too long.
Now that he encountered two living people, and women at that, naturally he wanted to interact with them more.
Princess Tianyao was pleasantly surprised.
She had just been wanting to go inside and take a look.
"Then we will intrude."
"No problem, I'm very hospitable."
Ye Qingyun led the two women into the house.
As soon as Princess Tianyao and Xiaoqing stepped inside, their eyes went straight.
The house was filled with all sorts of things they had never seen before.
Over the past ten years, under the "coercion and temptation" of the system, Ye Qingyun had crafted quite a few gadgets.
Among them, the one Ye Qingyun was most proud of was the whole-house smart system.
All the furniture and various decorations in the house had already been connected by this whole-house smart system.
And it could be controlled by voice.
Extremely convenient.
Even placed in Ye Qingyun's original world, it would be an existence that people could only look up to with awe.
Of course, this so-called whole-house smart system was something people of this world could not understand for the time being.
"Classmate Xiao-er, turn on the fresh air system."
Ye Qingyun called out casually.
Princess Tianyao and Xiaoqing wore blank looks on their faces.
Classmate Xiao-er?
Fresh air system?
What on earth is that?
They didn't understand a single word.
"Understood, Master. The fresh air system has been turned on."
Accompanied by a pleasant female voice, streams of fresh air emerged from various parts of the house.
Ye Qingyun was naturally accustomed to it.
Princess Tianyao, however, was instantly dumbfounded.
"There's actually such a dense and astonishing concentration of spiritual Qi?"
As a martial artist, Princess Tianyao's perception of spiritual Qi was naturally very acute.
The moment the fresh air system turned on, billowing spiritual Qi poured in from all directions.
Princess Tianyao's mind went blank.
The concentration of spiritual Qi here was easily a hundred times stronger than her royal mansion!
"There must be an extremely formidable grand array here that can reverse heaven and earth, gathering the spiritual Qi of a thousand miles around."
Princess Tianyao was shocked inwardly, and the way she looked at Ye Qingyun completely changed.
This person was definitely a senior expert with heaven-reaching cultivation.
Such an expert was living in seclusion here, and she had happened to run right into him.
"This is my fortuitous encounter!"
"If I can ask this senior expert to help me, the mere Song Family can be wiped out with a flick of a finger!"
Princess Tianyao couldn't help daydreaming.
Feeling the dense spiritual Qi continuously surging around her, Princess Tianyao's cheeks turned slightly red, and her delicate body trembled a little.
Too dense, too dense.
She couldn't take it anymore.
She was going to break through.
The next moment, a brilliant light erupted from Princess Tianyao's body.
Her face was full of exhilaration, and she was drenched in a light sweat.
And she actually broke through just like that.
Ye Qingyun, standing to the side, was dumbfounded.
So this is what cultivators of this world are like?
Why do they look so weird?
"Thank you, Young Master. I've broken through my realm."
Princess Tianyao was somewhat embarrassed, her face flushed red.
Ye Qingyun scratched his head.
What does that have to do with me?
"I'll brew some tea for you."
Ye Qingyun stood up and quickly brewed a pot of tea for Princess Tianyao and her companion.
As the tea was poured into the cups, both Princess Tianyao and Xiaoqing picked up their teacups.
"Huh? This tea..."
Princess Tianyao's expression changed again.
Chapter 3: A Wealthy Patron! Definitely a Wealthy Patron!
Princess Tianyao stared at the greenish tea rippling in her cup, her face draining of color as she nearly fainted from shock.
"What's wrong? Is this tea no good?"
Ye Qingyun was somewhat surprised.
This was tea he had planted with his own hands, and roasted with his own hands, too.
Back then, the system had even specially issued a title of Tea Dao Master.
It had made Ye Qingyun immensely proud for a good while.
The brewing method for these two cups of tea had long been recorded inside the whole-house smart system. Although it was brewed by a tea-making machine, it was not the least bit inferior to tea brewed by Ye Qingyun's own hands.
"N-No, it's not!"
Princess Tianyao shook her head repeatedly, afraid of incurring the displeasure of the senior expert before her.
The hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.
It wasn't that the tea was no good.
Rather, inside this teacup was shockingly pure spiritual liquid!
When spiritual Qi reaches a certain degree of concentration, it turns into spiritual liquid.
A single drop of spiritual liquid contained a vast amount of spiritual Qi.
And this cup of tea contained an amount of spiritual Qi that Princess Tianyao simply could not imagine.
She didn't dare drink it at all.
Because once she drank it, her body would not be able to withstand such a massive amount of spiritual Qi and would burst open directly.
Seeing that her princess wasn't drinking, Xiaoqing naturally didn't dare to drink either.
"Young Master, we... we're not quite used to drinking tea."
Princess Tianyao forced a smile and could only say that.
"Is that so?"
Ye Qingyun rubbed his chin.
"Then have some fruit instead."
As he spoke, Ye Qingyun brought out another plate of grapes and placed it in front of the two women.
"Finally, there's still some ordinary stuff."
Princess Tianyao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Young Master."
She picked up a grape and placed it into her mouth with utmost elegance.
"Hmm?"
The moment she chewed, sweet and refreshing juice instantly burst forth in her mouth.
Sweet and fragrant!
An endless aftertaste!
Princess Tianyao had never eaten such delicious grapes in her life.
The grapes she had eaten in the past were simply a hundred thousand miles behind compared to this.
"This is amazing!"
Princess Tianyao couldn't help exclaiming in admiration.
