Volume 1 Chapter 3 [Qᴜɪᴄᴋ ᴀᴅᴠᴀɴᴄᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ]
>>Outer Region of Li Public Forest<<
As soon as Zen left the cave he remembered something. Today was his birthday. "How could I be so stupid enough to even forget my birthday? Sigh, Well there's nothing to wonder about that cause all these years I have been left out of the family and only experienced despair," Zen thought.
Well today is a new day that I, Luo Zen have been reborn as a Celestian. I should be ten years today. Time does past pretty fast. It's been 2 years since I was sent to this lowly sect and I haven't even accomplished anything. I have to wipe away my disgrace no matter the cost.
["Happy Birthday To You Master"]
"Oh, Thank you my lovely system" Zen thanked.
(Current Time - [10 years | Day 1])
In the dark forest there was a beautiful little boy carry a glow torch and searching for Celestial beasts. Although this boy was small he was going through the forest without any fear. Well that's to be expected from a Celestian after all. This boy was Luo Zen. He was searching for a Celestial Beast so that he could quickly increase his cultivation. He looked really beautiful in the night as the moon shined upon him. His blue hair and beautiful face looked absolutely gorgeous.
After some time Zen found a spider sleeping on a tree. It seemed to be hanging on its webs. The spider was the size of a person's face and purple in colour. It had eight eyes which were closed. Zen used his appraisal skill while hiding behind a tree close to the spider. 'Appraise'
[Eight Eyed Purple Spider]
[Cultivation - Rank 4 Celestial Being]
[Info - A common poisonous spider than lives in this forest]
"I don't think it's a good idea to attack it. If I failed and it woke up. Then I'm dead. I won't be able to do anything if it poisoned me." Zen was thinking whether he should attack or not.
["Hey you coward, Go attack sneakily. I'm sure you won't miss"]
"All right, fine! I'll give it a try." Zen took out his dagger from his storage ring and went towards the spider on his tip-toes.
As he got very close to the spider he slashed and stabbed it before it could even react. Zen wondered why he could kill it easily only then did he realise that this spider has aged quite and bit and was pretty weak.
[You have learned Basic Dagger Technique - Slash]
[Slash - Uses 10 Celestial Energy]
[You have learned Basic Dagger Technique - Stab]
[Stab - Uses 10 Celestial Energy]
"Wow, That was pretty easy learning it. Now I can easily execute these techniques. The amount of Celestial Energy they use is low. Well that might be because they are just basic techniques."
"Oh yeah, I Almost forgot. The technique I learnt when I was in the family. From the Martial Arts of the Luo Family I was only able to learn one technique which was called Wind Palm."

Rank - Earth]
[Quality - High]
[Info - The Basic Martial Arts of the Luo Family. Trained by All members of the Family]
[Rank - Elementary]
[Quality - Middle]
[Consumption - Uses 20 Celestial Energy]
[Info - The most basic technique of this Martial Arts Techniques. The technique concentrates Wind Energy in the middle of the users palms to strike a powerful blow]
The Celestial Energy in this world is changed into an Elemental Energy when one uses it for various purposes. For example this technique is used by converting Celestial Energy into Wind Energy. Pure Celestial Energy can only be used by...Ahem! No need for spoilers now.
"Hmm this technique is not bad. I suppose it's been a while since I used hand combat. Well it's not like I fought anyone in these years." Zen was planning on using this for his next target. He collected the spider corpse inside his storage ring and started to search for more Celestial Beasts.
"Aaaaaaaaar!"
After around 10 minutes of Searching. Zen heard sounds of some beats fighting. He went close to the beasts fighting and hid behind a tree. Until now Zen hadn't realised something. He has been recklessly searching for Celestial Beasts but they never become alert whenever he was around. That's because his aura is being concealed by the Celestial System. Only a handful of the experts can even do this. Zen was hiding behind a tree so he can't be sensed by the beasts.
Infront of Zen were two racoons fighting each other. They looked cute when they were fighting but they shouldn't be messed with. The racoons were brown in colour and both of them seemed to be fighting for some reason. They were both heavily injured too. They had many scars around their body. Zen immediately used 'Appraise'.
[Common Tree Racoon]
[Cultivation - Rank 5 Celestial Being]
[Info - A common racoon that lives on trees. They mostly avoid fighting and maintain peace]
"Hmm. They maintain peace. Why would they fight each other then. Maybe it's something that I will know only after I killed them." Just as Zen finished thinking about this the screams of the racoons suddenly stopped.
Zen looked at the racoons that were on the ground without any breaths with his face full of suprise. It seems luck is on my side.
Ding*
["Congratulations! You have unlocked a hidden attribute 'Luck' "]
[Luck - 1]
["You have received 40 Celestial System Coins"]
[Celestial System Coins - 50]
["Congratulations Master. I never expected you to be this lucky. I guess Master will have more lucky opportunities in the future"]
"Haha. It seems that I'm really lucky. Not only did I get the 'Luck' attribute but I also got some Celestial System Coins." while saying this to the Zena, Zen went next to the corpses of the two racoons and store them in his storage ring.
Next he saw the racoons nest on the tree where the corpses were. He climbed up the tree expecting to see a family of racoons but the only thing he saw was a shiny purple coloured cube. Zen used 'Appraise'on it.
[?????????]
"Hmm. What should I do now. It doesn't give me any info. I can't feel any Celestial Energy from it too. Is it just some ordinary cube. Let's just pick it up incase." Zen said while picking up the cube.
["Sorry Master for being unhelpful but even I have never seen something like this. Maybe in the future we may find something about it"]
"No need to think about it now Zena. Let's try to go back to the cave and breakthrough now that we have got some more Celestial Cores."
Zen said while returning to the cave that he was in earlier.
By the time he had returned to the cave it had already became midnight.
[Day 2]
>>Cave in Public Forest<<
Zen took out the corpses from the storage ring and extracted their Celestial Cores with the dagger and placed the corpses back into the ring.
He placed the three Celestial Cores in front him while sitting on the rock in a lotus position and closed his eyes to start cultivating.
<<5/20,000>>
<<10/20,000>>
<<15/20,00>>
After a few hours Zen had broken through to the the Celestial Being Rank 5.
[You have received 15 Attribute Points]
[+3 points on all attributes]
Zen continued Cultivation ignoring the notifications.
<<5/35,000>>
<<10/35,000>>
After another few hours while the sun was rising Zen has reached peak of Celestial Being Rank 5 but was unable to proceed to some reason so he stopped cultivating and opened his eyes.
"Why does it seem like hit a bottleneck this early in cultivation Zena."
["You fool, You think you will have a bottleneck this early in cultivation with your potential. Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror. You look pathetically thin and weak. Go and improve your body's condition if you want to improve"]
Ding*
[New Quest Received]
[Info - Gain 15kg of Weight]
[Grade - Unranked] (Too low to be grade)
[Time limit - None]
[Reward - 50 Celestial System Coins]
Zen can't be blamed for this as his family didn't give him enough care but now that he has strength he will do everything he can to finish this quest.
Zen saw that sun had risen so it was time to leave this forest. So he left cave walking towards the entrance.
