7 A pleasant surprise

Li Jing was standing in the middle of his bedroom. His eyes were focused on a blue screen only he could see.

'Use item: Epic Lottery ticket!' Li Jing thought.

[Congratulations! Host received the item: Perk: Full Recovery (Epic). The item has been stored in Host inventory.]

[

Name: Full Recovery

Type: Perk

Grade: Epic

Description: Host's strength increases substantially after recovering from near-fatal injuries.

Effect: Permanently increase Host's strength by 20% after recovering from near-fatal injuries.

Seeing this perk, Li Jing became very excited and couldn't help but think about the famous Saiyan's Zenkai ability from the manga Dragon Ball Z. It was a really good perk and he could already imagine many ways to abuse it. After all, his clan was the best alchemist clan in the kingdom and therefore had the best healing pills and drugs, so he wasn't afraid of being seriously injured.

Now, Li Jing only had one Epic lottery ticket left and he desperately needed a Cultivation method. He closed his eyes, joined his hands, and fervently prayed.

'Please RNJesus, I really need a Cultivation method. Please, please!'

'Use item: Epic Lottery ticket!'

[Congratulations! Host received the item: Martial technique: Elusive Smoke Steps (Epic). The item has been stored in Host inventory.]

[

Name: Elusive Smoke Steps

Type: Martial technique

Grade: Heaven (High)

Description: This technique allows Host to transform his body into smoke.

Effect: After activation, Host's body becomes elusive like the smoke. Attacks and Martial techniques from cultivators up to one cultivation realm above Host will harmlessly pass through his body. While activated, the technique also greatly increases Host's speed.

Li Jing was pleasantly surprised and laughed loudly. He just received an extremely powerful movement-type Martial technique. He remembered that in the web novel, one of the main character's enemies used this technique in the Immortal World. He was literally untouchable, and to defeat him, Teng Fen had to use one of his most powerful treasures!

'Although I didn't receive a Cultivation method, this technique is still amazing. I'm glad that I received it!' He thought, smiling.

For Li Jing, the fact that he didn't get a Cultivation method was a little disappointing but not that depressing because he knew that in a few months, the Inheritance Realm of Luo Renji, the founder of the Sky Jade Kingdom, will open. There, if he could get the inheritance before Teng Fen, he will obtain a Peak-grade Earth Cultivation method!

Now that Li Jing had used his four lottery tickets, he planned to activate the items he received. Then, he will finally start cultivating.

'First, the bloodline. Use item: Bloodline: Iron Boar.' He thought.

The moment he thought of these words, he felt a warm sensation inside of him. Then, his whole body started to hurt and sweat profusely.

Although it hurt, the pain was bearable and Li Jing could feel his body strengthening second after second.

A few minutes later, the pain stopped and a blue screen appeared before Li Jing's eyes.

[Host has obtained a new bloodline: Iron Boar.]

Li Jing examined his body with widened eyes. Although his body hadn't changed, he could clearly feel the new power inside of it.

'Wow, it's amazing, I never felt so strong before! I feel like I can destroy a boulder with one punch!'

A person that has never cultivated but has physically trained all his life could, at most, reach a strength of 60 Jin. Li Jing, with his new strength of 175 Jin was, therefore, almost three times stronger than a mortal!

'Now, let's see my spiritual weapon.'

Even though Li Jing didn't plan to use his daggers, he still wanted to see what they looked like. It will, after all, be the first time that he will see a weapon with his own eyes and not through the original Li Jing's memories.

However, he thought that using this item by thinking the whole sentence 'use item: Weapon: Lightning-flame Spirit Daggers' was too long. If he needed them during a fight, he would be dead before he had the time to summon them. Therefore, he wanted to try if he could summon them just by thinking about the daggers in his inventory.

'Daggers.' He thought.

As he thought this word, a red-colored dagger appeared in his right hand, and a purple-colored dagger appeared in his left. They looked like elven-style daggers measuring around fourteen inches each, there were also strange blue glowing runes covering them.

'It worked! That's good to know.'

The daggers were rather heavy, and, if Li Jing hadn't gained more strength by activating the Iron Boar bloodline, he didn't think that he would have been able to carry them.

After carefully examined the daggers from every angle, Li Jing concluded that they were definitely powerful weapons.

'These daggers are so cool, it's a shame that they are useless to me…'

With a sigh, Li Jing stored the daggers inside his inventory. Then, he activated his perk.

'Use item: Perk: Full Recovery.'

This time, he didn't feel any change in his body. There was just a blue screen informing him that he successfully activated his perk.

[Host has obtained a new perk: Full Recovery.]

Li Jing smiled. Now it was the time to activate the best item he received, the Martial technique Elusive Smoke Steps.

'Use item: Martial technique: Elusive Smoke Steps.'

Suddenly, knowledge of the technique flowed into his mind causing a slight headache, and a few seconds later, a blue screen appeared.

[Host has learned a new Martial technique: Elusive Smoke Steps.]

Li Jing was very surprised, just by using the item he learned how to use the technique like he had practiced it for years! At first, he thought that after activating the item he would just have received the manual and will have to practice it by himself, but it seemed that he was wrong.

Well, he was glad that he was wrong because this Martial technique was extremely complex. If he hadn't received the knowledge on how to use it, he would have needed dozens of years of training before being able to use it!

The higher the grade of a Martial technique was, the harder it was to comprehend and master it.

Once again, Li Jing was delighted to have received a system. Before he had some doubts, but now he was sure that he will one day become stronger than Teng Fen and reach the apex!
