[I]
In his previous life, the honest Chu Jiezhu was an ordinary office worker. After transmigrating into the world of cultivation, he was still an ordinary person with no spiritual root.
Taking pity on his lonely, helpless state, an elder of an immortal sect took him in as a menial outer-sect disciple.
Chu Jiezhu was so grateful he could hardly contain himself. Every day, he diligently swept floors, fed horses, hauled water, ran errands, and did whatever needed doing.
One day, the Demon Venerable attacked, and no one in the entire sect could stand against him. Chu Jiezhu could only clutch his broom and tremble.
Just then, a sudden ding rang in his mind.
[Hello, Host. You have been bound to the Skill Draw System.]
[Congratulations! You drew the skill “Legitimate Heir, Proper Lineage”!]
[When this skill is used, the System automatically classifies people as legitimate or illegitimate according to their birth. Those of legitimate birth may sell those of illegitimate birth.]
Chu Jiezhu looked at the huge “Illegitimate” above the Demon Venerable’s head, then at the gleaming golden “Legitimate” above his own, and fell into thought.
Seeing a mere servant dare to look him in the eye, the Demon Venerable sneered. “You’re asking for death!”
No sooner had the words left his mouth than an invisible force hurled him away, turning him into a shooting star on the horizon.
Chu Jiezhu: Good heavens, a legitimate servant just sold off an illegitimate Demon Venerable!

After Chu Jiezhu became famous from a single battle, everyone in the sect gathered to discuss him.
Disciple: “O_O Are all the servants in our sect this powerful? Then why did the test say he had no spiritual root?”
Elder: “→_→ He must be some hidden master pretending to be ordinary, planning to play the pig to eat the tiger and pull off a huge act. That’s how it always goes in the novels.”
Sect Master: “★o★ Hurry, hurry! Master, please take the seat of honor!”
Rumors spread throughout the cultivation world that a mysterious hidden master had appeared at the Taiqing Sect in the Northern Border. To enjoy life among ordinary people, he had suppressed his cultivation to the level of a mortal. His true strength was unknown, and he grew stronger when faced with stronger opponents. Anyone who provoked him might not die, but they would certainly be humiliated in public.
No one knew that the “hidden master” himself spent every day battling his absurd System.
System: [Congratulations! You drew the skills “An Enemy Is Still an Enemy,” “How Dare You Assume My Gender,” and “Dragons Are a Sign of Imperial Authority”!]
Chu Jiezhu: System, come on! This is the cultivation world! Don’t you have any skills related to cultivation?
System: [Congratulations! You drew the skill “Never Look Down on a Poor Young Man”…]
Chu Jiezhu: Yes, that’s it!
The System continued: […Never Look Down on a Poor Middle-Aged Man, Never Look Down on a Poor Old Man, and Let the Dead Rest in Peace.]
Chu Jiezhu: No, that’s not it!
[III]
Chu Jiezhu was invited to attend the Immortal Alliance Assembly. The Demon Venerable attacked again, and the young prodigies of the major sects fell one after another.
In the end, the only one still standing was Chu Jiezhu, who had been watching from the sidelines.
The Demon Venerable said bitterly, “I underestimated you last time. Today, I’ll have my revenge!”
At this critical moment, Chu Jiezhu gritted his teeth and spent all his points on a draw from the System’s shop.
[Congratulations! You drew the skill “How I, a Janitor, Was Madly Pursued by a CEO”!]
Then everyone watched as the Demon Venerable, who had been so arrogant just moments ago, suddenly began fervently professing his love to Chu Jiezhu.
Chu Jiezhu: Why shouldn’t a menial who sweeps and cleans count as a janitor?
