Chapter 20 Spirit Cultivation Technique
"Can you really help me reborn into a new body?" Xue Daiyu shouted in excitement.
Jiang Ming nodded his head. "I rarely boast in front of people and when I say I can do something… then it means I can."
Xue Daiyu\'s spirit trembled slightly as she could never imagine her fate would turn out like this.
She has already given up hope to ever be able to vanish from the world and stay as a house spirit for eternity until Jiang Ming\'s arrival.
"H-How do I know you\'re not bragging and just lying to me?" Xue Daiyu regained her composure and asked solemnly.
Although she was excited about being able to be reborn, she had never heard of someone else managing to turn a house spirit into a physical body.
"Given the fact that I know you are lurking from the beginning and identify you as a house spirit… I think that shows my capability already." Jiang Ming said calmly.
"But that only proves your foresight is better than ordinary people but doesn\'t mean you\'re capable at all. After all, I can sense your cultivation base is merely at the 3rd spiritual elementary." Xue Daiyu replied swiftly with a fierce expression.
Jiang Ming chuckled softly at her logical response and didn\'t blame her for being doubtful.
"I believe talking any further would not help much in this situation," Jiang Ming said softly.
Afterward, he directly raised his finger and pointed at Xue Daiyu with some true qi injected into her brain.
Xue Daiyu was shocked by the sudden action of Jiang Ming but remained still when her brain became overflowed with a massive amount of information.
<Ding>
<Player Jiang Ming has successfully transferred a spirit cultivation technique on Xue Daiyu>
<Reward: 1,000 true qi>
__
\'Huh, I actually get rewarded for doing something as menial as this?\' Jiang Ming raised his eyebrow in surprise when he felt the true qi in his core increased.
At the same time, he became confused by the system notification because he has done this action previously on Alchemist Ren yet there was no notification.
"Could this be a bug in the system?" Jiang Ming mumbled softly.
However, his question was soon answered as another system notification popped up for Jiang Ming.
<Ding>
<Previously Player Jiang Ming did not meet the requirement to unlock the system. Hence, there are no rewards given to Player Jiang Ming>
<System is just and fair so there would be no compensation since it was Player Jiang Ming\'s fault for not unlocking the system faster>

Jiang Ming twitched his mouth slightly as he recalled the system in Cultivation Omega was never this arrogant nor cheeky.
Meanwhile, Xue Daiyu finally opened her eyes and a look of disbelief filled her eyes as she glanced at Jiang Ming.
"J-Just who are you?" Xue Daiyu stuttered because the spirit cultivation technique that Jiang Ming gave her was extremely powerful.
It was so profound that if she didn\'t witness the information herself, she wouldn\'t have believed it.
"I\'m Jiang Ming… a cultivator that has just a tad more knowledge than the average cultivator in the Northern Continent." Jiang Ming smiled briefly as he answered her question.
Xue Daiyu swallowed nervously as she would be a fool to not recognize his greatness.
\'A spirit cultivation technique is extremely rare where every family would fight for it yet Jiang Ming gave it to me without asking for anything in return.\' Xue Daiyu exclaimed inwardly as she looked at Jiang Ming in a different light.
"Anyway, now that you got the spirit cultivation technique from me, I believe you should understand that I\'m not joking about you being reborn into a new body." Jiang Ming stood up from the bed and started to walk out of the room.
Xue Daiyu saw him leaving the room as she quickly followed behind and asked, "W-What do you want from me?"
There was no such thing as free lunch in this world so she knew she had to sacrifice something for the spirit cultivation technique.
As long as it wasn\'t something outrageous or out of her reach then she would accomplish it.
Jiang Ming stopped his footstep and turned around to look at her.
"Did you forget your memories after receiving my spirit cultivation technique?" Jiang Ming asked.
Xue Daiyu made a complicated expression as she tried to recall what happened previously.
Jiang Ming sighed softly when he saw her expression and decided to remind her.
"Your story- more precisely, what happened in the past that made you become a house spirit?" Jiang Ming said, causing Xue Daiyu to shudder as she remembered now.
\'Right… I was supposed to tell Jiang Ming my story but I forgot about it because of the technique.\' Xue Daiyu said inwardly as she stared at Jiang Ming.
Afterward, Xue Daiyu gritted her teeth as she said, "Do you really want to hear about my tragic past now?"
As much as she wanted to refuse to tell him her past because she would always feel bitter, anger, resentment, and sadness whenever she had to recall the event but for the spirit cultivation technique she just received, her story was worth nothing.
"You can tell me your story whenever you\'re ready. I\'m not unreasonable enough to tear someone\'s wound open." Jiang Ming chuckled softly as he waved his hand as he left her alone.
Xue Daiyu stared at his back with a grateful look.
\'Thank you, Jiang Ming… for this opportunity.\' Xue Daiyu exclaimed inwardly before vanishing from the area as she needed to start cultivating the technique since it\'s related to her success in reborn into a new body.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ming used this time to explore around the house and set up some defense formation in case there could be an attack from an intruder.
"I was struggling on how to defend this big of a house but who would have thought I would receive this information by gaining Xue Daiyu\'s trust."
Jiang Ming mumbled softly as he looked at the system notification.
<Player Jiang Ming has met the requirement to unlock the system\'s store>
