Senior Brother Grinds Himself to the Bone, While I Lie Back and Win
At the Five Peaks Sect in Qinglan Continent, Zhou Buyu of Little Cloud Peak has become the laughingstock of the entire sect. Born with a mortal constitution, he has spent ten years cultivating and is still stuck at the third level of Qi Refining. Even the servants sweeping the mountain gate dare to boss him around.
Then, on his twelfth birthday, a bolt of lightning awakened the [Realm Synchronization] System within him.
"Ding! Optimal synchronization target detected: Senior Brother Lin Jinghong, currently at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment. Synchronize?"
Zhou Buyu: "???"
The next moment, he broke through on the spot to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, his surging spiritual energy almost bursting his meridians. Meanwhile, the genius Senior Brother Lin Jinghong, acclaimed as a "Sword Bone unseen in a thousand years," stood clutching his sword, staring blankly at the junior brother whose breathing technique he had been teaching just yesterday.
From then on, the Five Peaks Sect had a strange tale to tell:
Lin Jinghong meditated in seclusion for three months and emerged with a sword strike that shattered the Golden Core realm. Zhou Buyu played cards for three nights, opened his eyes, and found himself at the Nascent Soul stage.
Lin Jinghong fought fiercely in a secret realm and slew a Nascent Soul cultivator. Zhou Buyu was collecting protection money in the marketplace, then turned around and synchronized to the Deity Transformation realm.
Lin Jinghong risked his life to break through to the Deity Transformation realm. Zhou Buyu was busy raising the price of cross-regional delivery when the System prompt rang right on time: "Ding! Synchronization successful. Current cost: 100,000 high-grade spirit stones per day."
Zhou Buyu: "..."
Wasn't this supposed to be an easy win? Why does it cost more than breaking rocks for a living!
To pay the System's "rent," the former lazybones was forced to become the cultivation world's number one money-grubber:
Robbing the playboys of Blazing Flame Peak? That's seed money.
Starting a cultivation takeout service, organizing secret-realm tours, and selling cross-regional delivery? All for the spirit stones.
He can even put storage rings taken from demonic cultivator spies up for auction, calling them "blind boxes of demonic cultivator specialties"
