【Every dream is a new life for you!】
【Loading map and characters.】
【Selection completed!】
【This dream’s talent: Disaster Diversion (Gold).】
【Transfer any side effects your body would endure to someone else.】
【Current physical side effect status: None.】
【Disaster Diversion target: 0/1 (quantity can be increased).】
Watching the golden light shine, Ye Yu felt a surge of joy in his heart.
Disaster Diversion?
Transfer the side effects to others?
This was definitely a divine talent!
For instance, some techniques require self-castration for cultivation, but now he can bypass that by having someone else undergo the process while still reaping the benefits?
Hurting others while benefiting himself, how thoughtful!
Before Ye Yu could ponder further, a powerful pulling force suddenly surged in.
【0 years old: Ye Yu was born in a remote area on the Northern Desolate Continent.】
【Both parents were low-level demonic cultivators.】
【At 5 years old, Ye Yu gradually understood the situation here.】
【This place was located on the easternmost edge of the Northern Desolate Continent, in a barren area. Due to the harsh weather, the population was extremely sparse.】
【There was only one obscure demonic sect here, called the Yellow Springs Temple.】
【The reason the Yellow Springs Temple was established here was simple: they weren’t strong enough. They had been forced to the border.】
【Even the sect master was only in the late Nascent Soul Realm.】
【Honestly, with such a cultivation level, he couldn’t even qualify as an elder in the more prominent Azure Cloud Sect.】
【Starting a sect with this level of power? That’s really bold.】
【In this dream, Ye Yu’s parents were named Ye Jing and Mo Haitang, and they were members of the Yellow Springs Temple.】
【To say they were low-level demonic cultivators is already a bit of an exaggeration. Their true identities were one outer disciple and one kitchen maid.】
【That’s right, a kitchen maid.】
【Because in the Yellow Springs Temple, many people hadn’t yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage, they naturally needed food.】
【Ye Yu watched his parents leave early and return late every day, even feeling as if they were clocking in for work.】
【And that was exactly the case.】
【Ye Jing and Mo Haitang were originally just hunters from this border area. Their lives could only be described as poor.】
【Later, when the Yellow Springs Temple came, due to the lack of personnel, they extended an olive branch to them.】
【At first, Ye Jing was somewhat resistant; a demonic sect sounds a bit unsettling.】
【But later, when they heard that the Yellow Springs Temple provided three meals a day and daily necessities, Ye Jing and Mo Haitang decisively chose to join.】
【However, due to their limited talents, they could only become outer disciples.】
【Even so, both of them were very happy.】
【Because after joining the Yellow Springs Temple, they had no worries about food or clothing, and the benefits were excellent.】
【This made Ye Yu seriously suspect that they viewed this entirely as a job. And they even seemed quite happy about it!】
【But Ye Yu couldn’t just slack off.】
【This time, his talent was Disaster Diversion. He was already five years old—he couldn’t go without testing it at least once, right?】
【At first, Ye Yu planned to have Ye Jing buy some pills with severe side effects at the Yellow Springs Temple. He wanted to give it a simple try first.】
【But later he realized that the resources at Yellow Springs Temple were truly lacking. Even the most ordinary Qi Gathering Pills were reserved for inner disciples.】
【Those like Ye Jing, being outer disciples, didn’t even have the qualification to purchase them.】
【With no other choice, Ye Yu could only abandon this plan.】
【At 8 years old, Ye Jing and Mo Haitang specially bought Ye Yu a new set of clothes.】
【They planned to take him to Yellow Springs Temple to test if he had the aptitude for cultivating immortality. If he did, he could smoothly join the sect.】
【On the way, Ye Jing urged Ye Yu to perform well once they arrived.】
【If he could gain the favor of a certain elder, then he could directly become an inner disciple. A bright future awaited, with a stable salary and retreat periods.】
【He would surely become someone of importance!】
【It would even be convenient for him to find a wife later!】
【The more Ye Yu listened, the stranger it felt.】
【Are we sure this is about cultivating immortality and not just a job?】
【Half an hour later, Ye Yu arrived at the main hall of Yellow Springs Temple.】
【A gaunt middle-aged man used a probing stone to check his aptitude.】
【From the intensity of the glowing light, it seemed quite decent.】
【The middle-aged man was overjoyed and immediately called out, saying he would take Ye Yu as his personal disciple.】
【After hearing this news, Ye Jing and Mo Haitang were equally excited. In their view, as long as he could enter Yellow Springs Temple, it was the best fate.】
【Later, Ye Yu learned that this middle-aged man was the grand elder of Yellow Springs Temple, named Xiao Yinzhang.】
【He was also the second most important figure in this sect.】
【Not too shabby, alright!】
【Actually, strictly speaking, Ye Yu’s aptitude could only be considered above average.】
【But in this place, people were scarce. There was almost no fresh blood joining. Finding someone with above-average talent was already a significant blessing.】
【Then, Xiao Yinyan then announced that he would impart all his knowledge to Ye Yu and even make him his successor.】
【This statement caused a nearby disciple to frown slightly.】
【Ye Yu straightforwardly said: Then how about giving me some gifts as an apprenticeship ceremony?】
【Cultivation techniques or artifacts would be fine; if not, even a hundred or eighty Qi Gathering Pills would do!】
【Xiao Yinzhang’s face stiffened.】
【Although he was the second-in-command at Yellow Springs Temple, he had never even seen a spiritual artifact in his life, let alone gifted one.】
【As for Qi Gathering Pills, they were the most basic type of elixir. They could help newcomers in the Qi Refinement realm gain a bit of spiritual energy.】
【But pills often come with side effects. Cultivation built on pills was a dead end—a house of cards.】
【Taking a hundred or eighty Qi Gathering Pills might increase one or two minor realms, but then what?】
【Would he end up completely stuck in the Qi Refinement realm and become useless? Cultivation is a path to the heavens; how can one ascend without a solid foundation?】
【Xiao Yinzhang did not want to waste such a good seedling like Ye Yu. Thus, he earnestly explained the risks and consequences.】
【Ye Yu scratched his head madly.】
【It seemed that Xiao Yinzhang would never resort to pulling seedlings to help them grow.】
【This left Ye Yu feeling speechless.】
【He couldn’t possibly reveal anything about his talent, right? That was his trump card, and he absolutely couldn’t let anyone know.】
【Seeing Ye Yu’s serious expression, Xiao Yinzhang smiled and said: Rest assured, once you enter my sect, you won’t have to worry about elixirs. When the time comes, I will naturally provide them for you.】
【As for the gifts for the apprenticeship ceremony, they are not nonexistent.】
【This is a high-grade Huang-tier cultivation technique. If you cultivate diligently, there’s no reason you can’t reach the same height as your master in the future!】
【Looking at the cultivation technique being handed over, Ye Yu’s mouth twitched slightly.】
【A Huang-tier technique?】
【At 10 years old, Ye Yu had already reached the mid-Qi Refinement stage.】
【This speed of cultivation was almost crushing.】
【Originally, he had planned to hang around Yellow Springs Temple until he reached the Golden Core realm. After gaining some self-protection ability, he would leave here to seek opportunities.】
【He wanted to make good use of his dream talent to become stronger.】
【But with resources depleted, spiritual energy insufficient, and on top of that, a Huang-tier technique…It really made Ye Yu’s progress slow.】
【Continuing to stay here was just a waste of time. He absolutely couldn’t go on like this.】
【Therefore, Ye Yu resolved not to wait any longer.】
【He went directly to Xiao Yinzhang and seriously stated: Master, I really want to improve my cultivation!】
