Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal

Yu City.

Prince Qi's Mansion.

"No hope of rising to the top, but who would've thought I'd catch the eye of an Immortal! Guess it's true, when one door closes, another opens!"

"Once I master the immortal techniques, all this will be mine in the end!"

King Qi, Yu Xiaochang, stood in the courtyard, a look of pride flashing in his eyes.

The Saint Emperor had originally sent the Eldest Princess to resist the Southern Barbarians—the message was clear enough, and he thought his chances were done.

But against all odds…

The Liuyun Immortal Sect sent an Immortal Master to test the royal offspring for immortal fate, and he was chosen, personally accepted as a disciple.

......

Cyan Yang City.

Outside Gao Family Manor.

"Third Brother, on your journey to Jinyong City, be careful! Stay alert at all times!"

Manor Master Gao Yuan gave these instructions to his third brother, Gao Jin.

Next to them stood six teenagers, boys and girls about sixteen or seventeen, all direct descendants of the Gao Family, each preparing to head to Jinyong City to try their luck with immortal fate.

"Don't worry, Big Brother."

Gao Jin nodded and climbed onto the carriage.

"Ziyue, the road to Jinyong City is long. You're steady-minded—look after your younger siblings along the way."

Gao Yuan turned to a tall girl in violet robes in the group, offering advice.

"Okay, Uncle."

Gao Ziyue nodded.

.......

Five hundred li from Jinyong City.

Celestial Eagle City.

A city about the size of Mu City.

Kelong Inn.

Lin Chang'sheng sat in a room on the second floor, with Little White Fox beside him, snoring away.

He was doing finger exercises with his left hand, holding a jar of soup to slurp with his right, and soaking his left foot in a wooden basin filled with hot water and a few green duckweed leaves floating on the surface.

He washed only his left foot, while his right foot kept rubbing against his left calf.

Water Walking Experience +1!

Five Thunders Transcendent Hand Experience +1!

Five Elements Nourishing Essence Skill Experience +1!

Golden Bell Shield Experience +1!

......

[Water Walking (Perfection)]

[Five Thunders Transcendent Hand (Perfection)!]

[Five Elements Nourishing Essence Skill (Perfection)!]

Nobody knew how much time passed before a system panel popped up in the corner of Lin Chang'sheng's eye.

"Five Thunders Transcendent Hand, Five Elements Nourishing Essence Skill, and Water Walking—I've perfected them all! Awesome!"

"Hard work finally paid off! All those finger exercises and slurping—my tongue's literally twisted now!"

Lin Chang'sheng stared at three bright red system alerts, eyes shining.

Just then—

Three streams of information surged into his mind, instantly fusing with his awareness—insights and mastery from perfecting Five Thunders Transcendent Hand, Five Elements Nourishing Essence Skill, and Water Walking, along with cultivation tips and techniques.

At that moment—

Lin Chang'sheng felt just like he'd spent decades practicing Five Thunders Transcendent Hand, Five Elements Nourishing Essence Skill, and Water Walking!

He'd already perfected Stepping on Snow Without Leaving Traces on his journey here.

Water Walking, after being simplified, became soaking his feet in duckweed water—so he'd just had the innkeeper bring some duckweed and mixed it with hot water for a foot wash.

The Golden Bell Shield cultivation techniques he'd obtained from the Chen Family—the system panel had successfully recorded experience points for stages 6 through 12 after inputting the first five stages, so now he just had to keep rubbing his legs to rack up experience!

As for the Purple Lightning Flying Needle hidden weapon he got from the Tang Family, after simplifying, it became embroidery needles—a technical craft. Before, he needed both hands and feet to do this, but now with Five Thunders Transcendent Hand perfected, he could finally free up a hand for embroidery.

Lin Chang'sheng focused and pulled up his system panel.

[Status: None]

"Huh?"

"Yin Qi Invasion's gone? No wonder I've felt so energetic lately!"

Seeing the Yin Qi Invasion status was gone, Lin Chang'sheng felt ridiculously happy, like a huge weight had been lifted from his heart.

[Detected: Perfection in Stepping on Snow Without Leaving Traces, Water Walking, and Fleeting Shadows—three lightweight skills. Spend 500 taels silver to fuse them?]

Just then, another red alert popped up at the edge of his vision.

"Fuse them."

Lin Chang'sheng clicked confirm without hesitation.

[Fusing......]

[Fusion successful! You've gained the Wind God Leg lightweight skill!]

After about ten breaths, another system popup appeared.

"Wind God Leg? Once I master this, my speed's getting a major upgrade!"

Looking at his new Wind God Leg technique, Lin Chang'sheng felt extremely satisfied.

[Detected: Wind God Leg. Spend 500 taels silver to simplify?]

Again, a red prompt flashed on the panel.

"Simplify!"

Lin Chang'sheng instantly confirmed—he had plenty of silver anyway!

[Great Dao is Simple: Wind God Leg simplifying......Success! Wind God Leg == Leg Shaking.]

"Le...Leg Shaking?"

Staring at the panel, Lin Chang'sheng was stunned.

If Wind God Leg simplifies to Leg Shaking, and you just shake your legs, how do you even walk?

"Wait, why not just ride a horse?"

Suddenly, the idea struck him. Before, he hadn't ridden a horse since he was practicing Stepping on Snow Without Leaving Traces, but with Wind God Leg, as long as he rode and kept shaking his legs, the experience points would skyrocket, right?

By the time he reached Jinyong City, Wind God Leg would probably be perfected.

At the thought, Lin Chang'sheng was buzzing with anticipation.

[Detected: Perfection in Gale Saber Technique and Thunder Shock Slash. Spend 500 taels silver to fuse into a new saber technique?]

"Fuse!"

Lin Chang'sheng saw the prompt flash again and clicked confirm.

[Perfect Gale Saber Technique, Perfect Thunder Shock Slash fusing......Success! You've unlocked Thunderous Slash!]

......

[Great Dao is Simple: Thunderous Slash simplifying.....Success! Thunderous Slash == Crazy Drumming]

"Huh?...Crazy Drumming? The...?"

Seeing Thunderous Slash turn into Crazy Drumming, Lin Chang'sheng's mind raced.

Thunder Shock Slash had him beating a drum, using a rattle as his drum; now with Thunderous Slash, as long as he bought a rattle and rubbed both hands on it, he'd basically be drumming like crazy!

........

Min Nan City.

On the street behind South City.

A young man with patterned marks on his forehead flashed out from a small courtyard, his face dark as night. "The Soul Seed's completely cut off? What the hell…"

"Hmph! You can't hide from me!"

Qi Hui suddenly whipped out a small triangle banner, bit his finger and dripped a few drops of blood onto it, then chanted and cast a spell. Demonic Qi shot out, the banner glimmered with a black light, and a cloud of dark mist drifted south.

This was a tracking technique from the Demon Sect.

As soon as the Soul Seed slipped out of his control, he could use this to pinpoint its general location!

"It's down south—where Jinyong City is. Looks like the host is planning to join the Liuyun Immortal Sect!"

Staring south toward Jinyong City, Qi Hui's lips curled into a bloodthirsty smile, demonic qi receding from his body as he sped off toward the city.
