Taking in Heaven's Favored
Arrival of the System

Arrival of the System

The Thousand mountains west of the Ming empire, also where the Lingyun Sword Sect resides. Inside one of the courtyards in the Jade Serene Peak. 

Knock knock "Hmmm?".

"Elder Lin, the disciple recruitment would start soon. The sect leader asks for you to go down".

 Xiao Yue stood bowing in front of the courtyard while waiting in front of the door.

Creak... Xia Yue looked up to see the door opening.

With his robes fluttering, Lin Ge stood in front of Xiao Yue.

Clad in a white daoist robe he looked majestic just like an immortal from the upper world. He looked at Xiao Yue, core disciple and even the personal disciple of the sect leader currently at the peak of the Spirit Convergence Realm, a very talented young lady.

Xiao Yue was awed by Lin Ge's bearing.

Truly a bearing of an expert. Someday, surely someday I will reached this height.

"I'll go down, thank you for informing me little Yue"

Lin Ge threw a marrow cleansing pill into Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue's eyes lit up seeing the pill in her hands.

"Many thanks for elder Lin's kindness". Xiao Yue bowed deeply at Lin Ge.

Lin Ge nodded.

After which she flew up to other peaks to inform the other elders.

Lin Ge looked at Xiao Yue's back, "Good Kid". 

"Now then, I should go down too". Lin Ge smiled and was about to leave when "Ding!".

He stopped on his tracks when he heard a strange sound that rang in his ears.

"Starting system... Scanning host...". 

System? Did my golden finger finally arrive?

Wuoooooo!

Lin Ge was so happy that tears was almost coming out of his eyes. Truly a contrast from his immortal bearing from before.

"Finally after so many years of hardship". I climbed up to the ranks thanks to me being an avid reader of fantasy novels. With stacked knowledge from different kinds of books my imagination wasn't confined by the common sense of this world. Although my talent was just above mediocre I was able to reach the nascent soul stage at the age of 29 thanks to different concepts of cultivation from too much reading. Knowledge does give you power.

And now with the help of the system, I can truly become a powerful expert that could topple the world with a wave of my hand!

He looked at the progress bar with expectant eyes.

"8%..."

"40%..."

"89%..."

"100%..."

"Binding of Disciple Nurturing System is successful, initiating status"

Ehhh? Disciple Nurturing System? Nurturing and taking in disciples?

It was a bit different from the system that Lin Ge had in mind but it's still a system nonetheless. 

He looked at the transparent blue status window in front of him.

"Holy fuck!"

Looking at his status window he couldn't help but curse out loud. Lin Ge couldn't help but be smug about it. Specially in his cultivation method, it was listed as Low Divine Tier!

Heaven tier cultivation methods are scarce even in the whole Ming Empire, even the Lingyun Sword Sect possesses only five that is respectively held by the six peak masters. Jade serene peak naturally possesses one being one of the six peaks but Lin Ge was able to modify and improve the existing cultivation method resulting in it being in it's current rank.

"But to think that my modification lead it to be being a divine tier"

It was one level above Heaven tier cultivation method!

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

This was also the case for his skills, most self created skills that he have were at most at heaven tier. 

"Hahahahaha, I really am a genius". Lin Ge couldn't help but laugh.

He turned his attention to the description and clicked it

Name: Lin Ge

Background: Jade Serene Peak's Master, 6th elder of the Lingyun Sword Sect, Transmigrator

Joined the sect at the age of 15, reached qi refinement realm within a half a year of being in the sect, Spirit Convergence at age of 17, Golden Core at 22 and nascent soul at 29 and currently at the second stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. Youngest Nascent Soul in the Ming Empire.

Evaluation: (6)Mediocre talent with extremely high comprehension skills.

Lin Ge was smiling from ear to ear seeing his description panel. He was very satisfied with his achievements. All those hard work was not for nothing.

"Ding! Generating Mission"

[Mission: Accept a disciple!

Mission description: How can a expert not have a disciple!

Recruit a disciple with High grade talent and an evaluation points of 7 in the disciple recruitment of the Lingyun Sword Sect.

Time limit: 24 Hours

Punishment upon incompletion: Deduction of cultivation level".

Ling Ge's eyes almost popped out of it's sockets, accept a disciple with a High grade talent and an evaluation of 7? How was he supposed to find such a talented disciple? Mind you that his talent was only Low grade and his evaluation only sits at 6, and he was supposed to find a disciple with a much higher potential than him.

But looking at the punishment panel he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. 

A deduction on his cultivation level, which means that he'll go back at the first level of Nascent Soul if he fails the mission.

Happiness came and go like the wind.

He tidied himself and adjusted his state of mind and prepared to go down. He can't let the disciples see a downcast elder. He was, after all, a mighty expert that stands atop the sect.

Inside the Martial pavilion.

The Disciple applicants fervently chatted with other applicants making the scene seem like a bustling market.

At the top of the pavilion were 6 seats respectively for each peak masters. Sitting at the middle was Li Tiangong the Master of the Sword Peak which was also the 25th generation Sect Master of the Lingyun Sword Sect. His eyes swept at the arena, observing the applicants, looking for talented kids with high amount of potential.

Left to him was Zhi Ruo, master of the Green Cloud Peak, a beauty like no other. With the green robe accentuating the curves on body and his beautiful face, the male applicants can't help but give her a long stare. On his right was the master of the Azure Dragon Peak, Hui Yin, also a beauty like Zhi Ruo but with the veil covering her face, she gives off a more mysterious vibe that also adds to her charm. 

"Seems like there a lot of good seedlings this time don't you think so Senior brother, Junior sister". Zhi Ruo glanced at both of them.

"Mmm. Specially that Chu family brat". Both women turned their eyes and look at the certain place. A boy standing alone in one of the corners of the arena, with his arms cross exuding a domineering aura preventing others from getting close.

"Chu Shen". Hui Yin squinted her eyes upon seeing the boy. "It is said that he possess single Fire Spirit Root, he broke through the Qi Refinement Realm at age 10, he's 15 this year and has reached the fifth level of the Qi Refinement Realm". Hui Yin exclaim.

"There's also that Zhao Xiu, possessing double Water and Wood Spirit Root. Although she is a bit lacking but her achievement were no less than that of Chu Shen, she's also 15 and has reached the fourth level of the Qi Refinement Realm". The three of them looked at the beautiful young girl surrounded by boys currying favor at her.

"Although not the same level as those two, there's still many good seedlings in this batch. However, those two are truly geniuses to be able to reach their realm at their age". Li Tiangong glanced at both of them. "Well, do you have a someone you've set your eyes to?". 

"Come on senior brother don't joke around, those two are geniuses but at most, they're one in a thousand geniuses. Unless it's a one in ten thousand genius we won't make a move". Zhi Ruo said in a jokingly manner and Hui Yin nodded her head in agreement.

"Hahaha. It's just a joke, just a joke."

"But speaking of geniuses, here comes one". Li Tiangong eyes looked up. Both lady then followed where he was looking. Clad in a white with his daoist robe and hair fluttering in the wind as he descends, Lin Ge looked liked a true immortal descending from the heavens.

"Come on senior brother, that's not a genius, that's a monster". Zhi Ruo couldn't help but recall Lin Ge's past. Starting as an outer disciple, no one paid attention to him, after all he was not even in the Qi Refinement back then. Possessing Wind and Water Spirit Root. Although it was a double spirit root, it's compatibility with each other is not that high unlike a Wind and Fire Spirit Root.

Within half a year of being in the sect he reached Qi Refinement. Still, that was not an impressive achievement within the sect. After which he broke through Spirit Convergence Realm at 17, still not that high of an acheivement but it allowed him to be an inner disciple. It was only after he reached the Golden Core Realm at age 22 that made the sect notice him resulting in him being accepted as the personal disciple of Ji Dexin the previous master of the Jade Serene Peak. Unfortunately, he later died in an expedition trying to explore a mysterious Mystic Realm.

Everyone thought that the Jade Serene Peak would decline after the death of it's master but after only a year of absence a new Peak Master would pop out.

Lin Ge, at the age of 29 reached the Nascent Soul Realm bringing him on equal footing with the top echelons within the sect and within the whole Ming Empire.

A 29 year old Nascent Soul Realm! Possibly the youngest Nascent Soul in the whole Ming Empire. Mind you that they, the elders of the sect reached this realm in their late 60's. But someone reached the same realm at half the time they did, it made them question the unfairness of Heaven and Earth at some point, and they themselves are a genius among geniuses.

And that's not all, his comprehension skills is unmatched in the entire sect. Not even their Sect Master could compare to him. He also created a lot of cultivation techniques within the sect and most of them are Heaven Tier skills.

Specially the concealing technique Shrouding Heaven's Eye which was approximated by their Sect Master to be a High Heaven Tier skill. He also has many side occupations such as Array Formation Grandmaster, Alchemy Grandmaster, and Forging Grandmaster.

So calling him a genius would be much of an understatement, monster would be a more appropriate term to describe him.

"Sect Master, Senior Sisters". Lin Ge cupped his hands as greeting to all three of them.

"Mmmm". Li Tiangong wave his hand.

Lin Ge sat besides Hui Yin. 

Several applicants looked at him in confusion. 

"Who is that?"

"Uwaa. So handsome". Few of the female applicants looked at Lin Ge with admiring gazes. He looked like a handsome Immortal untainted by the mortal world.

"That there is sixth elder, Lin Ge, also the Master of the Jade Serene Peak. The youngest Nascent in our sect, reaching it at the age of 29". The core disciple said with a look of admiration towards Lin Ge. The applicants let a roar of admiration while looking at Lin Ge sitting besides the other elders. 

This was also the case for both Chu Shen and Zhao Xiu, their eyes sparkled. Being accepted by such a master would be a good opportunity, but they know such dreams were far from reality. 

Lin Ge was looking at the applicant's panels trying to see if any of the participants meets the requirement of t he system.
