Yunxiao Sect, Outer Sect.
Today, heavy snow fell. Lu Yun, who got up early, pushed open the door, preparing to go to the Martial Lecture Hall to give a lecture.
After transmigrating for a hundred years, Lu Yun, through his own efforts and persistence, became an exceptionally impressive lecturer at the Martial Lecture Hall.
Uh...
Of course, "exceptionally impressive" was only exceptional in the sense of being unusual, not actually impressive.
Because this position was entirely due to his years of seniority; the sect pitied him.
To put it nicely, he was a lecturer at the Martial Lecture Hall. To put it bluntly, he was just a workhorse in the cultivation world.
He got up earlier than the disciples every day, slept later than the disciples, and sometimes, when the sect was short-staffed somewhere, they'd drag him in to fill the gap.
Perhaps the only advantage was that this job was a public position, so Lu Yun didn't have to worry about being fired.
Otherwise, with his strength at the 8th layer of Foundation Building, in the vast cultivation world, he'd be nothing more than a roadside nobody.
Stepping on the soft snow, Lu Yun casually tossed out a flying talisman. The next moment, his entire body soared into the air.
Not long after.
Lu Yun arrived at the Martial Lecture Hall.
At this time, quite a few disciples were already standing in front of the door.
"Make way, make way."
"Let me open the door first."
Lu Yun landed in front of the Martial Lecture Hall door and took out the key from his storage ring.
Sigh.
The miserable lecturing life was starting again.
Lu Yun sighed inwardly, but just as he opened the door the next second, a crisp ding-dong sound rang in his mind.
[Ding!]
[The Ten Thousand Times Investment System has been bound. Host, please invest freely!]
...
Suddenly.
Lu Yun, who had been listless, widened his eyes.
Sys... System!
His golden finger as a transmigrator had finally arrived!
After so many years, so much hardship, so many predicaments—System, do you know how I've gotten through all these years?
At this moment, Lu Yun felt like crying but had no tears. If the system had come earlier, he wouldn't have had to suffer so much!
"Little System, introduce yourself."
Lu Yun suppressed the joy in his heart, opened the door nonchalantly, and said to the system.
"Host, this system's main function is to allow investments.
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
Whenever the host invests in others, the system will provide feedback to the host.
The levels of the invested individuals are divided into: White, Black, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Gold—seven levels. The higher the level the host invests in, the better the rewards from the feedback."
...
Hearing the system's words, Lu Yun couldn't help but frown.
What the heck? This crappy system requires him to pay out first?
But he was already over a hundred years old, and the lifespan of Foundation Building stage was only a little over two hundred years. He didn't want to die before even getting the investment feedback!
Immediately.
Lu Yun asked the system.
"How long does it take for the investment feedback?"
"Replying to the host, investments can be made once per day, and each investment provides immediate feedback without waiting."
Getting this answer, Lu Yun finally relaxed.
Immediate feedback was good; he liked things where he could get results right away.
And right after the system appeared, Lu Yun discovered he had gained a special ability: he could see others' detailed information, which was to facilitate his investments.
After entering the Martial Lecture Hall, Lu Yun opened his textbook and casually scanned the surroundings.
He also wanted to see which of these disciples attending the lecture at the Martial Lecture Hall had extraordinary talents.
...
[Name: Shou Chong.]
[Age: 61 years old.]
[Cultivation: 7th layer of Qi Refining.]
[Luck: White.]
[Future Evaluation: Destined to be mediocre for a lifetime, with no opportunities or chances to defy fate.]
[Recent Investable Encounter: Recently encountered a minor bottleneck in realm; needs one Qi Refining Pill to break through.]
...
[Name: Yang Wei.]
[Age: 42 years old.]
[Cultivation: 6th layer of Qi Refining.]
[Luck: Black.]
[Future Evaluation: Most likely mediocre for a lifetime; at 80 years old, if he has some enlightenment, he might have a small opportunity, but the probability is extremely slim.]
[Recent Investable Encounter: Wants to learn an ice-based technique, but finds ordinary ice-based techniques not cool enough.]
...
[Name: Lu Chuxue.]
[Age: 31 years old.]
[Cultivation: 7th layer of Qi Refining.]
[Luck: Yellow.]
[Future Evaluation: Decent talent; will achieve some minor accomplishments in the future, but at 90 years old, there is a risk of falling. If he survives the danger, he can break through the luck limit and achieve higher accomplishments.]
[Recent Investable Encounter: Weapon damaged in a battle; needs to save money to repair the weapon.]
...
Just like that.
Lu Yun scanned all the students in the Martial Lecture Hall. The best talents were just two with yellow luck; the rest were either white or black.
This couldn't help but make Lu Yun doubtful. Although this was the outer sect of Yunxiao Sect, Yunxiao Sect was still one of the eight major sects in the Northern Wilderness Continent.
The quality of disciples shouldn't be this poor, right?
But reality was indeed so; in the system's evaluation, these people were all roadside nobodies.
Lu Yun didn't want to waste his daily investment opportunity, and this was his first investment after all. He at least wanted to invest in a blue-level talent.
...
Just like that.
Lu Yun observed while teaching the class. Whenever a student came in midway, he would glance over.
But the results always disappointed him.
45 minutes later.
Lu Yun's class was about to end. Since he was a talisman cultivator, what he taught the students was knowledge related to talismans.
The talismans he drew in class were also casually given to a disciple.
For the system, this didn't count as an investment, because only investments made according to the system's [Recent Investable Encounter] counted as real investments.
"Elder Lu, you've worked hard."
"I'll take over for the next class."
At this moment.
A white-bearded old man came to Lu Yun's side. He was the teacher replacing Lu Yun for the next class, considered a colleague.
"Alright, I'll leave it to you then."
Lu Yun slightly bowed to show respect to the old man.
Afterward,
Lu Yun stepped down from the podium and went to rest on a chair in the corner. From beginning to end, his eyes never left the disciples in the hall, afraid of missing any worthy investment target.
"Damn it!"
"Why are they all trash fish and rotten shrimp!"
"If it really comes to it, just go with that yellow luck one from earlier."
After a while.
Lu Yun was already tired.
The quality of Yunxiao Sect's disciples was really poor. After so long, he hadn't seen a single green luck talent.
Just then.
A disciple dressed in plain clothes entered the Martial Lecture Hall. As soon as he appeared, Lu Yun, who was about to get up, was deeply attracted to him.
"Pur... Purple luck!"
Lu Yun looked at his information.
...
[Name: Su Muwen.]
[Age: 15 years old.]
[Cultivation: 9th layer of Qi Refining.]
[Luck: Purple (leaning towards blue).]
[Future Evaluation: Future immeasurable; during growth period, opportunities abound, heavenly treasures will be attracted by his luck and appear one after another around him; destined to become a supreme being in the future.]
[Recent Investable Encounter: Injured by a Flame Tiger in battle; fire poison is spreading in the wound; urgently needs over ten Profound Ice Pills to detoxify.]
