I decided to create new Novel , a Xianxia/Wuxia novel . However it won't be the typical novel ! ... Well it is gonna be one , so expect dumb and arrogant male enemys inc. !

__________________________________________________________________________________________

*SLAP*

A middle aged woman slapped her own kid while cursing : "Here are 5 coppers , now go away !"

Soon the womand followed a crowd of middle aged woman to spoil a young boy who smiled .

"Tian'er , do you want to eat candy ?" asked a middle aged woman with a sweet voice .

"Tian'er , do you want to go play at the garden ?" asked another middle aged woman with a gentle tone .

"Aunties , why do you like me so much ?" questioned the boy with an innocent smile .

"Hahaha , naturally because you are too handsome ." flattered a middle aged woman causing the group to break into laughter .

Like a fool the young boy smiled and laughed as well , not noticing the other kids looking at the boy with hate .

But what can they do ? They were only the 5th or even 6th son , without any talent .

Rubbing his red cheek the slapped boy picked the dropped 5 coins up and walked away . He as well is only the 6th son of the woman who slapped him .

To be precise he is Chen Long , the son of the woman who slapped him and one of the elders of the Chen clan .

However he is not an ordinary kid . He is a youth from the planed called earth who reincarnated into this world .

At first he believed that nothing would change in this world , but as he figured out that he is born in a cultivtion world where humans beings cultivated into gods he felt as if the heavens wanted to grant him a wish .

After all he read countless cultivation novels back at earth .

Not only that , feeling the warm of a mother caring about his felt quite good .

So would he be the one enjoying a smooth ride from useless to god ? No !

After being taken to the awakening ceremony at the age of 6 everything changed . He isn't the genius with two or even three martial spirits . He is only an ordinary kid with no bloodline heritage .

Thus he got dropped by the clan , he wasn't the only one though . 7 out of 10 would be dropped by their parents .

At first he felt shocked , how can they drop their children ? Well give him shelter , some food and when is ready to be thrown out then kick him out .

The second option is working for the Chen family which is a pretty good thing since the family members get high positions .

So , what is his power ? At least the gods didn't forsaken him . What he got is an AI . Yeah that is right , an AI which only belonged to him !

Not only that , he even got an appraisal skill !

Yeah ! Time to rise up !

But it seems that high hopes are deemed be destroyed .

The AI could not help him getting stronger , neither could it help him to get a theory on how the cultivation works . It isn't as broken as described in the novels .

Not only that , in the end the only function Chen Long could seem to use are the calender function , clock function and the ability story information and to sort call them up whenever he wants .

Putting his hopes on the appraisal skill Chen Long hoped for the mighty identify-everthing skill .

Muhahahah ! Every hidden treasure shall belong to him .

However as he walked along the market stalls the only thing he could see were the names of the thing . If he didn't knew what that thing is then the appraisal skill won't work .

Using it on Persons ?

[ Uncle Mu ]

[ ???? ] "I'm the neighbour Meili !" grinned a girl at the age of 4 .

[ Meili ]

In the end Chen Long accepted the fact that he is pretty much one of the side side side side side side side characters .

One of the random people who look withed shocked eyes at the things the protagonist do .

No , probably not the people with names . More like a guy in the crowd .

After picking the 5 copper coins Chen Long dashed out of the Chen mansion towards the market .

Even with the fact of him being without a martial spirit it doesn't mean that he couldn't get one .

So first of all what are spirit martials ? It seems that these spirits are the so called power with which the people in this world fight .

Though they not only fight with their spirits .

In his 8-year old life in this world Chen Long gathered informations about this world . First of all there is a power called Qi . With that you power your spirit whether it is a weapon , beast or anything else .

Or you can use the qi to activate heaven shaking martial arts which are mostly hoarded by the sects or familys .

There are different types of martial spirits , not the difference of weapon or beast . It is the difference in being inherit or chosen spirit .

Inherit Spirits are spirits born from the bloodline , for example a certain family may get the inherit spirit of a boar spirit . Thus the members of that family are likely to get boars as their first spirit .

The future spirits are chosen by the people , for example you are using sword martial arts ? Get a treasure sword as your next spirit !

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

However there are people like Chen Long , or better to say the majority of Person are like Chen Long who have no inherit spirit . Thus they only can chose an object or beast as their first spirit .

For rich people without a bloodline it is certainly heaven . Just spending a few thousands gold coins can get a strong spirit for their children .

However a bloodline is certainly more practical than spending money . After all one can buy suiting martial skills , perfect the training etc. .

Not only that , a bloodline is the only chance of having a double or even triple spirit in the beginning .

These are the true talents .

Back to Chen Long . Even if the Chen family is quite rich , they have to feed the members , spend money for their shops , buy bribing gifts for stronger forces etc. .

So the weak members don't get anything .

At first Chen Long cursed the system , isn't it more logical to give the weaker member a strong starting spirit ? After all a single pill less could give thousands of members a good steel sword .

However as Mike heard that single man slaughtered the nearby Wa Family he shuddered . It seems that a single person is more worth than a thousand people .

In the end he only could annoy his mother so much so he will give him some pocked money to buy sweets .

He did that every single week . After all doing it everyday would cause suspicion , however weekly would be quite normal .

For what reason did he get slapped weekly ? Naturally for the 5 coppers !

He did that for a little more than 2 years . To say it precisely since the disappointment at his awakening .

Walking along the market stalls he appraised every single trash looking item . At first he believed that appraisal would have an ability to level up . However the only thing appraisal did was to cause him feel dizzy .

At first he could only do appraisal one or two times , however now he could appraise items for 20 times before having to recover .

"Hm... there has to be a treasure somewhere !" exclaimed Mike as he did his weekly market round .

He couldn't believe why these protagonists would have such dog sh*t luck everytime they appear in a random market !

[ Rusted Dagger ]

[ Fragment of a Vase ]

[ Old wooden Chest with Mud in it ]

[ Glas full of Dirt ]

Sighing Chen Long arrived in front of his favorit stall .

Here is the place he visited the most , it is his appraisal-recovery station .

"Chen Long you are here again ?" smiled an uncle .

(AN: i am not describing the persons since i hope that everyone can imagine an uncle :) )

Naturally the uncle didn't smiled without a reason , Chen Long is his long term guest .

Even though Chen Long is saving up for a treasure he knows that enjoying his free time is important as well .

"Yeah , usual please !" replied Chen Long in a childish tone .

Even though he is weaker member of the Chen Family , he is still a member . Thus each kid has to do martial training .

The nurtured kids are doing the training as well , though it is only a part of their training .

However the training is everyday , so the only free time Chen Long has is one day .

"Here , two servings of sweet dumplings ." smiled the uncle .

(AN: Dammit T-T , today i watched a scene between itachi and his love on youtube . It is the dumpling scene . Argh ... why did itachi killed her ヽ(≧Д≦)ノ )

While eating the sweet dumplings Mike looked at the surrounding .

A jar with a flame awakened his interest .

"Uncle , what is this ?" asked Chen Long while touching the glas jar with an interested look .

"Oh this . It's a Qi Lantern , send Qi into it and a flame will appear in it . I have some lantern in different shapes , do you want one ? It only cost you 10 coppers ." answered the uncle while taking a box out .

Rummaging around the box he could see that the lanterns are shaped in different forms . Horses , swords , even a butterfly .

Suddenly he gulped , however he still answered in a childish voice : "I will take this okay ?"

Taking out a can shaped lantern he paid 12 copper . 10 for the lantern and 2 for the dumplings .

"Why don't you take a sword shaped ?" asked the uncle .

"Hmpf , i don't have to tell you !" laughed Chen Long while dashing out of the shop .

Since he is only a little child the uncle just shook his head while putting the box away .

However Chen Long looked at the glass can with hopeful eyes .

[ ??? ]

Even with the description of the uncle the ? didn't disappeared . That mean that it wasn't a Qi Lantern .

Holding it high up to see what's in it Chen Long could feel how the disappointment appeared in his eyes .

There is nothing !

Depressed Chen Long slowly walked back . It wasn't his first time to be scammed .

His first time was when he bought an unknown clam for 50 coppers . In the end it was only a clam of a difference species .

The second time was when he bought a rusted sword piece for 20 coppers which in the end was only the rust of a fence .

The third time he still hoped for a miracle , he bought a hairpin for 20 coppers . He bought it because like previous times there was a ??? in its description .

However it deemed to be a cursed hairpin and he had to pay 300 coppers for medicine .

Now he paid 10 coppers for a Qi-Lantern leaving him with 50 copper coins .

(AN: a little more than 2 years equals about 110 weeks * 5 copper coins ~ 550 , 550 - 75*2 dumplings = 400 , 400-350 = 50 )

Slowly walking along the streets he watched the people doing their business . A child getting scolded for being to mean to the siblings , an old man selling plants , a female trying to lure in guest for their tavern ....

Watching the sunset Chen Long felt a longing , a longing for his old life . At least the family in his past life wouldn't just ignore him if he hit bottom .

Still holding the glass can he gaped . There is something on the jars glass wall .

Walking into the shadows he could see a small source of light , however he wasn't sure if this light is the reflection of the sunset .

Trying to block the light of the sunset Chen Long looked again at the Jar and indeed a little light source appeared to be glued onto the wall of the jar .

Walking into the Chen mansion without anyone caring about him he returned to his room .

Hopping onto his bed he waited till night arrived , naturally he brushed his teeths and washed his face before he went to bed .

Taking out the glass Can he looked onto it again , darkness surrounded him .

A single spark shone on his face .

"Woah .... " with a surprised gaze Chen Look stared at the spark .

Feeding the lamp a little bith with his Qi he stared at the flame which appeared .

An eye sized flame appeared .

Feeling the heat of the Can , Chen Long dropped it onto the ground .

[ ??? ]

"Ouch !" yelled Chen Long in a low tone while deciding that this flame shall be his first martial spirit .

It seemed to be a special flame . Besides if he wait any longer then he might regret it .

Sitting in the lotus postion in front of the Can Chen Long meditated for a while .

Gathering his Qi onto his palms he shattered the glass in one hit .

The Flame rushed out , only to be caught by the hands of Chen Long .

Surrounding it with layers of his own Qi caused Chen Long to sweat .

Slowly guiding it to his Dantian he could feel how the Flame disappeared .

*Pant* *Pant* *Pant*

Sweat poured out of his body as he could feel how he created a connection with the flame .

A warm feeling rose up from his body . So comfortable ~

~ breath in ~ breath out ....

Standing up Chen Long stripped his clothes ! What the heck , why is it so hot now ?

Running circles he could feel the cool wind vaporating his sweat .

However it is only a temporary solution . In the end he could only search for a pond .

Holding his clothes he searched for a pond , to be specific a pond with no fish in it .

"Dammit !" cursed Chen Long while running past a pond .

Finally finding a pond he jumped in .

*Splash * Ziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiih

His body caused the water turn into steam .

Feeling the cool water Chen long finally relaxed his whole body .

After a while he shaked his whole body like a dog causing the water drops flying through the air .

However ignoring the fact that he stood naked near the edge of a pond he tested out his martial spirit .

Using his indexfinger he created a flame the size of a candle .

Grinning like an idiot Chen Long looked at the flame .

No wonder , that in fact was the first time he did something magical in this world . In his training he would only train his body and meditate .

Qi may sound magical at first , however it's only invisible fuel which couldn't be used to do anything . Imagine something like Hanter x Hanter Nan .

Well not that it wasn't impossible , however the amount he possess with 1th Qi stage is extremely pitiful .

With a "HAAA" sound Chen Long vaporated the water on his body .

(AN: Martial spirit are like your limps , as soon as you get them you can control them . Though you ain't master them , there are rare scenarios where Spirits can't be controlled immediately .)

Feeling the exhaustion Chen Long rushed back to his room , of course dressed .

Jumping onto his bed Chen Long went to sleep as soon as he closed his eyes .

Mumbling he said to himself : "Now i got one , i need to synergize the second or even third with a flame ."
