Yu Quan found the system pretty simple. All his abilities and personal information appeared on the "Stats" screen, and he could upgrade them with points. He could gain points from completing quests and missions. Quests are mandatory; missions are optional. There was only one other function—the deduction screen. It allows him to deduce a higher, lower, or adjacent martial art or technique. While it's not cheap, especially for higher-level deductions, he could make it more affordable by reaching higher levels of comprehension.
"Phew... this is not as powerful as all the systems in the novels and manwhas I have read." Yu Quan did a quick look around. “Well, since everyone but the people I need to get revenge on are dead, I should be able to use Zhuō Dúyǒng's identity for- wait…”
Zhuō(Awkward). Dú(Alone). Yǒng(Forever).
One who is awkward and shall be alone forever.
“…Let's just use my name. I'm sure no one will recognize me.”
…
"Damnit!" Yù Quán yelled in frustration as he threw a torn-up manual to the side. "Every standard cultivation manual has been destroyed. Yǒngyǒng really made sure to make the beginning difficult. System, open stats."
Note: The user does not need to say it every time. Think, and it will open.
"Ah, I didn't think of that."
Of course not.
"..."
"So, all I have so far is these things called the [Star Gazing Eyes]?"
Correct.
[Star Gazing Eyes](Level 1)
Said to be passed down to people who share a bloodline with a divine master who could "See past man and through the Earth to observe the stars."
Can practice most sight-based arts that others normally cannot
+25% to all sight-based arts
+50% Vision
+40% Darkvision
"Jackpot!" exclaimed Yù Quán. "I'm surprised you didn't take these away either, System."
Note: The [Star Gazing Eyes] are a body part, so they could not be removed.
Yù Quán grimaced, "So, you would've done it if you could? So helpful, System."
However, I did use the healing of the sustained internal and external injuries to revert them to their lowest level.

"..."
Yu Quan shook his head. The [Star Gazing Eyes] were great but didn’t help him cultivate yet. Nothing else was left at the cult headquarters, so he decided to look for a town or a village. Yù Quán left the ruins of the Cult of the Almighty into the surrounding forest. Looking through his obtained memories, Yù Quán remembered this forest was called the Dragonwood Forest. Despite its name, it has no dragonwood trees, which seem to exist according to the same memories. There also appeared to be an old myth about the forest, having been a forest of dragonwood trees in the past, but two powerful masters fought. The areas they fought were decimated, becoming some plains areas like that of the cult. Apparently, one of the masters was an ancestor of the Mount Hua Sect, who turned all the trees into cherry blossoms and then stole all the petals for a strike. For some reason, the leaves grew back as regular dragoonwood leaves instead. He found a tree atop one of the higher hills and scanned his surroundings.
Vision: 9/6
Yu Quan now understood what the system meant when it said his vision was raised by 50%. The system measured vision in the same way it was on Earth. It meant he could clearly see things that were nine meters that people with perfect vision would need to be six meters from. Yù Quán looked around until he saw what seemed to be a town not so far away.
“System, is that a town?”
Error: Cannot provide information.
"You can’t even give me information on stuff, what type of system are you?"
Note: The user picked the “Hard” difficulty.
"I didn't pick any-" Yù Quán was about to defend himself before remembering the moments before his transmigration.
On his way home one day, Yu Quan was reading a cultivation manwha when a truck suddenly came and hit him. He was dead on impact. Instead of going up and, thankfully, down, he saw a screen in front of his eyes. The screen told him to select a difficulty and that higher difficulties gave higher rewards. Not thinking with his brain too much, the "Hard" difficulty.
"Oh..." Yù Quán finally said after some thought. “It's good that I talked myself out of picking the "Hell" difficulty.”
Yu Quan shrugged and decided to go over and find out. He jumped down from the tree and began walking towards the town.
…
Location Unlocked: Blossom Falls
“So you will give me information as long as I discover it myself?" Yù Quán asked sarcastically.
Yù Quán walked through town, looking at the scenery and the people. It was a humble town, the perfect definition of average. Average size, average architecture, average-looking people. The paths and walkways weren't soil but that earthy ground type of dirt. There were a few pagodas and pavilions, likely for the few nobles living there. Inside of the entire sea of average, there was one peculiarity. Due to the surrounding forest, all the buildings were made of dragonwood. There was nothing to complain about, but nothing to rave about either.
Yu Quan thought about the dragonwood buildings. According to Zhuo Duyong’s memories, dragonwood is strengthened by ambient qi. He assumed that the town likely had cultivators logging and cutting wood.
“System, why doesn’t anyone seem to notice me? Zhuo Duyong seemed to be pretty well known.”
Note: Cult Members were required to wear masks when leaving the cult. No one has seen Zhuo Duyong’s face.
"And there isn't any way people can recognize my energy or something like that? I've seen that in some cultivation stories."
Note: At the Foundation Laying realm, you would have the strength to get almost anything you wanted from a small town.
