"Have you heard? The sect leader brought a naked boy into the sect."
"My friend is a gatekeeper, and he told me the boy is quite handsome."
"Not only that, the sect leader is wearing the boy's clothes."
"Hiss."
"You're all out of touch! Breaking news: the sect leader has accepted that boy as his personal disciple. His name is Chen Mo."
"The new disciple selection hasn't even started yet, isn't this against the rules?"
"Are you stupid? The sect leader has to follow the rules when accepting disciples?"
"Really? As far as I know, the sect leader has only accepted one personal disciple in all these years, and that's Senior Sister Nalan. Can his talent compare to Senior Sister Nalan's?"
"The new sect grand competition is in a few days. We'll see then."
...
Chen Mo was unaware that his entry into the sect had caused such a stir.
After Yun Yun led him into the sect and arranged for him to stay in a hall, she hurriedly left.
Chen Mo took a comfortable bath, changed into the Yunlan Sect's exclusive personal disciple robes, and then brought up the system menu.
Name: Chen Mo
Race: Human
Cultivation: One-Star Dou Shi
Luck Points: 40
Technique: Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force
Fighting Skill: Spear of the Underworld God
Items: Qi Concealment Technique, Two Healing Talismans, Four Bottles of Accompanying Purple Crystal Source
Functions: Treasure Chest Lottery, Shop, Spying
…
Chen Mo unbuttoned his robe and looked down. His chest, which had previously bore a ten-centimeter-long wound, was now completely healed.
This wasn't just a healing talisman; it was practically a divine talisman!
He used it before taking a bath, and in such a short time, the wound that had become a scar had vanished.
This system is something else!
Next, let me properly understand this system.
First, he opened the treasure chest lottery.
But just a silver treasure chest required 100 luck points.
Gold 1000.
Platinum 10000.
Diamonds reached a terrifying 100,000.
He didn't count the King's Treasure Chest, only knowing that there were many zeros after the 1.
Next, he looked into the probability of getting the treasure chests.
The Silver Treasure Chest has a one in ten thousand chance of containing a treasure that can only be found in the King's Treasure Chest.
The Platinum Chest doubles the chance, and so on.
But for Chen Mo, who's unlucky, one in ten thousand is zero.
This lottery system and probability reminded him of a game he played in his previous life.
Of course, the latter was even more of a rip-off.
As for obtaining Luck Points,
Chen Mo currently only knows of two ways: besides the rewards from completing tasks, it's by slaying magical beasts. The higher the level of the magical beast, the more Luck Points you get.
Finally, Chen Mo checked the shop, but nothing was affordable for him.
He specifically looked at the prices of the Transformation Pill and the Companion Amethyst Source. One pill cost 7,000 Luck Points, and a bottle of the latter cost 3,000.
So expensive! If only the Companion Amethyst Source could be exchanged for Luck Points.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo had an idea and decided to try.

It's useless, nothing happened.
I'll just drink it and cultivate; maybe I can even conjure purple fire, then I can casually look through some alchemy manual and become an alchemist. One
of life's three great illusions: I can do it.
Chen Mo was currently in the midst of this illusion.
Just as Chen Mo was immersed in this illusion, and it was getting deeper and deeper, even making him think he'd soon be able to sleep with a beauty in his arms,
Yun Yun entered .
Hearing the noise, Chen Mo naturally looked over.
"Sister Yun Yun."
A long cyan dress wrapped around her graceful figure, her face was incredibly beautiful, her long black hair styled in an elaborate updo, magnificent and elegant, her appearance captivating.
Except for the slightly different hair color, she was practically identical to Yun Yun from the anime.
"Absolutely stunning!" Chen Mo exclaimed inwardly, the possessiveness hidden deep within him growing stronger.
Seeing Chen Mo's reaction, Yun Yun knew her efforts in dressing up hadn't been in vain, and a hint of smugness flashed through her heart. She quickly straightened her face and said seriously, "The sect competition is in three days. The elders have decided that you need to participate."
Chen Mo frowned slightly: "Is it because you're a personal disciple?"
"Yes, but..." Yun Yun nodded, then hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Yun Yun's hesitation, Chen Mo asked directly, "Is there any other requirement?"
"Yes." Yun Yun said somewhat awkwardly, "You need to be among the top five of the younger generation of inner disciples in this sect competition."
Originally, the elders wanted Chen Mo to be in the top three; the top five was something Yun Yun had argued for.
After all, the sect leader's personal disciple is, strictly speaking, the face of the Yunlan Sect. What qualifications does someone who can't even reach the top five have?
"Top five." Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought I needed to get first place."
This wasn't Chen Mo being arrogant. According to the novel, among the younger generation of the Yunlan Sect, only Nalan Yanran possessed exceptional talent. Even adding one or two other unknown geniuses not described by the author, the total number wouldn't exceed a handful.
And at this point in time, Nalan Yanran was only a few stars in the Dou Shi realm.
Therefore, Chen Mo truly didn't think he would fall out of the top five.
"Ding, mission issued. Please obtain first place in this sect competition. Upon success, you will randomly receive 100-3000 Luck Points."
"Uh, okay, system, you win." He
really does give me little surprises every now and then, Chen Mo thought to himself.
However, Chen Mo's words displeased Yun Yun. Who was he going to all this trouble for?
But he not only didn't take it seriously, but instead displayed an arrogant attitude, looking down on the sect's disciples. Clearly, he didn't care.
"You'll be beaten to death then," Yun Yun said angrily, and was about to leave. But she couldn't help but turn back at the door, took out a scroll, placed it on the table, and said, "This is a mid-level Xuan-rank lightning-attribute fighting technique. If you don't understand anything, come ask me next door. I live next door."
After saying that, she really left.
"I think I made her angry, but I really didn't mean to." Chen Mo was on the verge of tears. He went to the table, picked up the scroll engraved with lightning patterns, and opened it.
"Thousand Thunder Technique."
"Upon mastery, it can summon thunder from the heavens."
"This description sounds so impressive, how come it's only a Xuan-rank combat skill?"
Filled with doubt, Chen Mo finished reading the entire manual and couldn't help but scoff, "Looks like boasting exists in every world. The so-called Thousand Thunder Technique is just a single thunder technique. Even at mastery, it can only summon one bolt of heavenly lightning, and it's all based on probability."
"In that case, those techniques that claim to burn mountains and overturn seas are also exaggerated."
He decided to first cultivate the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, then consume the accompanying Purple Crystal Source, and then use the energy of the Purple Crystal Source to awaken more giant elephant embryos.
Without further ado,
Chen Mo immersed himself in meditation, focusing all his attention on the first level of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force.
Even after only a short time of practice, a clear flow of energy, like a river, could be seen around his body, emitting rolling thunderous sounds.
Just then, a sudden change occurred. Just like in the Monster Mountain Range, Chen Mo's body became like a black hole, frantically absorbing the surrounding battle energy.
