The spirit realm? The East Wasteland, Xia Kingdom's Qingcheng Mountain?

"What the heck is this?"

Suddenly, a flood of fragmented memories poured into his mind. Su Zan rubbed his forehead, a puzzled expression on his face as he scanned the surroundings.

He is now in an ancient and fragrant room.

Su Zhan's head was heavy and dizzy. He walked to the large mirror in his room.

The mirror showed a man in his thirties who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old. He was fair-skinned with handsome eyebrows and eyes. With this face alone, he could probably make many young actors in the entertainment industry feel ashamed of themselves!

But, for God's sake, that's not his face!

Su Zhan's eyes widened in alarm, and he slapped himself in the face with fear.

At this moment, those fragments of memory in his mind had already merged with his own memories.

At this moment, he finally understood what was going on.

"I actually traveled through time!"

And what's more, it's a fantasy world where cultivation can make one powerful, allowing them to fly through the skies, move across the earth effortlessly, and live for thousands of years!

I am currently located in the Eastern Wasteland of the Spirit Realm, Qingcheng, Liangzhou, Xia Kingdom!

"Quite impressive! You share my name and surname, being the son of the head of the Su family, one of the Four Great Families of Qingcheng!"

Holy crap! This is a rich kid!

Su Zan was a bit agitated.

But soon, the memories that followed surfaced, and his agitated heart momentarily stilled.

He may be a rich second generation, but at the same time, he's also a notorious wastrel of the Su family.

Meridians are blocked, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but only refining a small part. At six years old, he started practicing martial arts, and now ten years have passed. He is still at the fourth level of the Kaimeng stage (Opening Pulse Realm), while most disciples from the direct lineage of the Su family are already at the sixth level or higher!

The most outstanding genius, even reaching the ninth level of meridian opening!

The gap is too big!

>If it were someone else, they would surely be devastated by this situation.

However, this only made him even more enraged.

As a 21st-century youth who has read many novels of the genre like "Flying Horse Through the Sky," I know this plot!

“Logically speaking, next should come a proposal for annulment, then I would say, 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west. Don't bully the poor.' Then, an old man would pop out from the ring and ask me, 'Kid, do you want to become stronger?' or something like that. From there, with my golden finger, I would marry a rich heiress and reach the pinnacle of life!”

A typical NEET protagonist!

Su Zan smiled and looked at his finger.

Well, there's no grandfather's ring.

Maybe because the show hasn't arrived yet?

After the breakup, who knows, maybe I could pick up something like a remnant soul of a peerless expert!

Su Zan secretly guessed and tried to circulate his true qi cultivation.

The former "Su Zan" was a waste, but now that he's a traverser, who knows if his quality hasn't changed because of the crossing?

It's still better to try it!

10 minutes later.

Su Zan stopped cultivating, his face full of dejection.

By the standards of an ordinary cultivator's talent, he could only absorb about one-tenth of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that someone with an average talent could.

Then, out of this one-tenth of the Heaven and Earth's spiritual energy, only one-tenth was refined into his true qi.

And generally speaking, at least three or more can be refined!

That is to say, an ordinary martial artist's daily cultivation equates to his one month of training!

What the hell are you even cultivating for?!

If it weren't for the fact that there was a powerful patriarch father providing ample spiritual herbs and pills, I'm afraid even reaching the fourth level of Meridian Opening would be a luxury!

"Knock knock!"

At that moment, a knock came from the door.

"Entering..."

Before he could finish speaking, the door was pushed open.

Su Zan's gaze fell on the servant at the door, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

"I haven't finished speaking yet, who let you push the door in?"

"I'm sorry, Master Su Zan. I was a bit hasty. The head of the family asked me to bring you to the guest hall. An important person wants to see you!"

The servant spoke apologies, but God did not show much respect, even a touch of schadenfreude.

Upon hearing this, Su Zan's eyes lit up.

Could it be that the breakup has arrived?

Although I don't remember any betrothal agreements, this kind of arranged marriage must have been something from the previous generation. It's normal that Su Zan didn't know about it either back then.

Thinking this way, Su Zan turned to his servant and asked, "What's the matter?"

The servant chuckled wickedly, "In three days it will be your birthday, Master. Well then, the Three Great Families have dispatched Qi Hai Realm experts to celebrate with you in advance!"

The martial arts path first involves opening the nine levels of meridians, then one can only condense their Qi Sea.

Qihe Realm, already a top expert in Qingcheng, how could the three major families and Su Family, who have always had a strained relationship, send such a high-level expert to celebrate a junior's birthday?

Was it three days early?

It's obviously problematic.

Su frowned, unexpectedly, the one who broke off the engagement didn't come, but trouble came directly to her door instead.

I don't know, maybe I should tell them "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river," let's settle accounts in three years. Will they agree to that?

Don't get into a fight without thinking! Then, with just this body of mine, wouldn't I be finished?

"Lord Su, are you afraid now?"

The servant, seeing Su Zan's furrowed brow, sneered, "Master, don't you know your own abilities? You dare to compete with the geniuses of the Three Great Families for opportunities? Even if you ate that towering lotus, what good would it do? You wouldn't be able to refine it!"

So that's what it's about!

Su Zan suddenly understood.

Three days ago, the four great families of Qingcheng went to Ling Mountain outside the city to worship the mountain god. A towering lotus in the mountains released thousands of rays of light, causing the four great families to fight over it.

Finally, the towering lotus that had already become spiritual flew towards Su Zan haphazardly. At that time, Su Zan was naturally overjoyed and swallowed it without hesitation.

How powerful is the medicinal power of Tian Lian?

Those medicinal forces instead damaged his internal organs and meridians, and since he couldn't refine them, he died in the end.

And the three great families were also very unwilling. Today, they probably just came to see if he was still alive or not, and then used an excuse to have the Su family pay a large sum of gold coins.

Heaven and earth are wondrous, those who are destined will obtain it.

Su Zan swallowed the towering lotus right under their noses, and with the protection of Su's family head, they naturally couldn't do anything about it.

If Su Zan was unable to refine the medicinal power, it would be a waste of effort. The three major families would then have a reason to attack the Su family!

"What talents do I have, for you, a dog servant, to talk about me like this!"

Su Zan coldly said a word.

This servant he also knew. He took advantage of being a close attendant to Su Heng, the first genius of the Su family, and because Su Zhang was weak in the past, he became even more arrogant.

Being scolded in front of everyone, the servant felt anger rise within him. However, he quickly suppressed it, his voice calm as he said, "Understood, my lord."

Even though he might look down on Su Zan, the fact remains. If things really escalated, wouldn't he, a mere servant, be courting death?

"Sir Su, let's go. The people from the Three Great Families are waiting!"

He said something, the servant walked away with a cold smile on his face.

How long can you keep acting so arrogant? Three powerful families are coming for you together. You useless good-for-nothing!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the protagonist ring system has been activated!"

Just as Su Zan was about to stand up and take a step, a mechanized voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

A curtain appears before my eyes. On the curtain, there are a series of names of protagonist rings.

"System! I'm so glad you're finally here, I was about to be completely finished!"

Su Zan's heart leapt with joy, her eyes fixed on the curtain.

"The protagonist's cultivation circle, the protagonist's comprehension circle, the protagonist's romantic encounter circle…"

He stared for a full minute, looking quite bewildered.

"System, tell me, how many protagonist rings do I have?"

Ding! Host, you have one hundred billion protagonist rings!
