Chapter 2: Activating Affiliate Systems

  "Experience points, how can I get experience points? This body is too weak, I'd better find some healing medicine to take."

  Fang Yan heard the distant beast roar, and his body leaned closer to the thicket. Xing Hao's bloodstains had been processed by the repair system, otherwise he would have also escaped being dismembered.

  The low-lying basin was quickly emptied of the mountainous piles of corpses, and the demonic beasts that had been attracted by the smell of blood continued to slaughter each other in the basin.

  Fang Yan rummaged through his backpack and found a medicine bottle, taking out the only Dan medicine of solid foundation cultivation to ingest.

  This Peiyuan Dan is the best medicine for Fang Yan, and as soon as he took it, his face started to flush slightly. Under the system's prompt tone, his life value was slowly recovering. After the effect of Peiyuan Dan passed, his life value had recovered to 50%.

  "With a life value of fifty, it's still a bit low, but there shouldn't be any danger to his life anymore. In this treacherous Sword Grave, he should have some power to protect himself." Fang Yan felt a warm and fuzzy feeling as his life value recovered, and his face was filled with excitement.

  His life value of fifty was no longer in the red, Fang Yan heard the distant roar of the demon beast and felt that this place was still not very safe, so he got up and headed deeper into the forest.

  "This is obviously a conspiracy, and yet this kid still jumped in blindly! And that Gao Jin, actually stabbing me in the back. I want you dead." Suppressing the intense pain spreading from his chest, Fang Yan walked through the dense forest, sorting out the memories in his mind.

  This Fang Yan is the only son of the Fang family, one of the three major families in Yangzhou City, with all the love and pampering concentrated on him. Who would have thought that because of a single sentence from Wang Yiran, the spoiled daughter of the Wang family, he entered this Sword Grave? In the depths of Fang Yan's mind, there has always been a memory sealed away - that this foolish Fang Yan liked the so-called heavenly jade girl of the Wang family. Just because he likes her, can he put his own life in danger?

  Through the memories in his mind, Fang Yan knew that Wang Yanyan's so-called favor towards him was all about playing with him, and through this time, she had tricked him into this Sword Grave to test him.

  "Wang Yanran, you're a dead woman. Since you want to put me to death, next time I meet you, I won't be polite to you." Thinking of the various things in his mind, Gao Jia's Gao Jin's hostility towards him, not afraid to face the anger of the Fang family, all wanted to kill him, were all stirred up by Wang Yanran. Thinking of this, Fang Yan's teeth were clenched tightly, a beauty bringing calamity, nothing more than that.

  "Pffft!"

  Fang Yan walked through the jungle, his long sword clearing a path ahead. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed before him and pounced towards him - it was a low-level demonic beast from the Sword Grave, known as the Jumping Rabbit, with infinite approaches to level one, its attack being a bounce collision. Danger approached, Fang Yan instinctively swung his sword, accidentally hitting the mark, and heard a "whoosh" sound as the long sword pierced the rabbit's chest, passing through it. The jumping rabbit merely struggled symbolically for a few moments before dying.

  "Ding!"

  Just as Fang Yan was in a daze, he somehow had such a sensitive reaction ability. The clear and crisp prompt sound of the system rang out in Fang Yan's mind. "Congratulations to the host for obtaining one point value!"

  "What's the point value?" Fang Yan was taken aback, then burst out laughing. As someone who was familiar with the game "Xianjing" from his previous life, he knew that this point value was used for cultivation. Using the point value to cultivate could convert it into experience points and level up.

  In Fang Yan's mind, there was the Xianjie system. With experience points, he could level up, and leveling up meant an increase in strength. Previously, Fang Yan was not very sure, but now he was certain.

  With this system, he no longer had to painstakingly practice martial arts and endure physical hardships to increase his strength. As long as he had enough merit points, his cultivation could be infinitely upgraded.

  "Host has obtained a merit point. Do you want to perform a full-body scan now?" The cold system voice sounded again in Fang Yan's mind.

  Fang Yan did not hesitate at all and immediately responded in his mind, "Accept!"

  As Fang Yan's voice fell, he only felt that his whole body was enveloped in a warm and cozy feeling. This feeling did not last for too long, and after a moment, the cold system prompt sounded again: "Host Fang Yan, 15 years old, level Qi Refining Third Layer, physique lower than average! Host has mastered human-level top-tier martial skill Bao Shan Fist, host has mastered human-level top-tier cultivation technique Pure Yang Skill. Talent belongs to the lower tier."

  A cold voice echoed in Fang Yan's mind, and he fell into deep thought: "It seems that this world is different from the 'Xianjing' game I played in my previous life!"

  Having merged with all the memories within this body, Fang Yan was not unfamiliar with the path of cultivation. The qualifications of this body were slightly inferior, but its foundation was extremely solid.

  Cultivate a way, there is the practice of Qi, the explosion of Qi, and above that, there is the Xiantian boundary. The heads of the three major families in Yunzhou City are all Xiantian cultivators. As for what realm lies beyond the Xiantian boundary, it's not something that Fang Yan can comprehend at present.

  "To cultivate, to recover all life values, a lot of merit points are needed! Without elixirs, this is not the way, I can clean up some low-level demon beasts around me, and accumulate some merit points." Fang Yan looked around, nearby was a dense forest, inside which there might be many low-level demon beasts for him to level up and brush up his merit points.

  The sword in Fang Yan's hand was three feet long, with an ancient and simple design. The hilt was wrapped in a layer of snakeskin-patterned beast hide, extremely sharp. With such a fine weapon, killing low-level demonic beasts to earn experience points would be much easier.

  Jianmu is the place where the strongest being sits in meditation, Jianmu has a vast space, and those who enter it are not only the excellent children of the three major families of Yangzhou City, but also some small family children and some powerful scattered cultivators, and these people all look up to the three major families.

  Earlier, many people and nearby monsters were fighting, Fang Yan was deceived by Gao Jin's and Wang Yuer's lies, and was led here. The result is obvious, the city gate caught fire, and he was killed by Gao Jin in the chaos. This blood feud must be avenged.

  A lean figure wandered in the jungle, encountering a jumping rabbit that darted out of the underbrush, the sword in hand occasionally swinging out, bringing up a blood flower.

  The system's prompt tone kept ringing out, and in a short half-hour, he had killed more than ten first-level Jumping Rabbits, gaining 17 contribution points.

  "Hmm, there's a stalk of Ling Cao here." As Fang Yan walked through the jungle, he beheaded a Blood Tooth Boar with one swing of his sword. Next, he discovered a first-grade Starlight Grass nearby.

  "Discovery of First-Class Spirit Grass, activation of Equivalent Exchange Subsystem confirmed." Along with Fang Yan's soft murmur, the system's cold prompt tone echoed in his mind once again.

  "Activated." Fang Yan's path was one of unhesitating action.

  "Activating equivalent exchange auxiliary system requires twenty points of proficiency value, confirm?"

  "Confirmed." Twenty merit points. Now Fang Yan had just accumulated twenty merit points, he thought for a moment and then confirmed his agreement.

  For this equivalent exchange accessory system, Fang Yan is very curious. In the game "Xianjing" that he is familiar with, there is no such equivalent exchange accessory system. What is this thing? He is now very curious about what can be exchanged for it.
