The Outcast: My Acting Is So Convincing, I Became a True Dao Ancestor

(The rating just came out and will rise. Fellow cultivators, please take a seat.) Li Daoran has just crawled out of a pit when a dazed, adorable young woman points a shovel at him. “Who are you?” [Ding! Dao Ancestor Roleplaying System activated! The Host’s appearance and temperament strongly resemble the historical figure Laozi (the cowherd-boy version). Character template bound!] [Beginner task: Say something befitting Laozi’s persona and establish your character.] Looking at the murderous Feng Baobao, Li Daoran gets an idea and speaks with studied profundity: “Who I am doesn’t matter. Where I came from and where I’m going matter even less... Miss, do you know the Dao?” Feng Baobao freezes. [Ding! Roleplay progress +1%! Ability unlocked: Words Become Law (weak)!] Li Daoran gets it! The more convincingly I act, the stronger I become! At the Luotian Grand Ceremony, Zhang Lingyu unleashes his Water Filth Thunder. Li Daoran shakes his head and sighs. “The highest good is like water. Water benefits all things and does not contend. Your thunder has lost its true nature.” As soon as he finishes speaking, the Water Filth Thunder vanishes into thin air! [The Old Celestial Master is stunned! Roleplay progress +10%!] Wang Ye is surrounded by attackers when Li Daoran walks by, yawning. “Everyone has their purpose, while I alone am stubborn and uncouth. Enough. Wind, rise.” In an instant, a gale blows the attackers away! [Wang Ye is horrified! This man understands the art of Qimen far better than I do! Roleplay progress +20%!] As the inheritors of the Eight Extraordinary Skills emerge one after another, the entire world of Outsiders goes mad. Everyone is wondering if this cowherd boy who follows Feng Baobao around could actually be... the Dao Ancestor Laozi, alive for a thousand years?! Li Daoran: “No, I’m not! I didn’t! Don’t go making things up!”
