At The Beginning, I Counted The Immortal To Death

"Feeling tired, take a break, smoke and then go to sleep..."

Jiang Bai had completely given up hope.

Right now, he just wanted to go to bed early, as for tomorrow or the future, let it be.

"Ding!"

A dazzling golden light suddenly lit up.

Jiang Bai was almost blinded by the sudden appearance of the golden light.

Tears streamed down his already bloodshot eyes!

[System: Congratulations, host, you've hit the jackpot with a triple draw! (*^▽^*)]

Jiang Bai quickly rubbed his eyes and pinched his thigh.

"Is it for real?"

He murmured in disbelief.

[System: Yes, host, there's no need to doubt.]

In Jiang Bai's view, two thin ancient books and a golden-red egg were quietly suspended in front of him.

Jiang Bai stared fixedly at one of the books, his breathing gradually becoming rapid.

The yellowed ancient book was inscribed with four large characters.

"Eight Nine Profound Art"!

"I can't believe it's the Eight Nine Profound Art! I've hit the jackpot! The system really loves me, hahaha!"

Jiang Bai had never dreamed that he could draw the famous Eight Nine Profound Art!

The Eight Nine Profound Art is the cultivation method practiced by Yang Jian in the Conferred Divinity List.

It is a protective Taoist cultivation method.

The maximum yin number is eight, and the maximum yang number is nine, which together represent the highest number in Taoism, corresponding to the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.

Although it is somewhat inferior to the ultra-powerful Saint Level cultivation methods like "One Qi Transforms Into Three Purities," it all depends on who it's compared to.

In the system's rating, it belongs to the Divine Level cultivation methods.

Most importantly, mastering the Eight Nine Profound Art means being able to comprehend many methods, including but not limited to transformation at will, indestructibility, and immunity to all poisons, making it an essential cultivation method for everyday life and travel.

Even the Perfected Being Yu Ding once commented: "Mastering the Eight Nine Profound Art is marvelous, allowing one to roam freely in the world!"

Jiang Bai gazed foolishly at the cultivation manual in front of him, unable to contain his excitement.

The Eight Nine Profound Art is divided into the front Eighth Layer and the back Ninth Layer.

The front Eighth Layer corresponds to the Eighth Layer realm of the Heavenly Spirit World.

To put it bluntly, in the current Heavenly Spirit World, there is no cultivation method or divine ability that can compete with it.

Once Jiang Bai learns the Eight Nine Profound Art, even if he is a fool in combat, he can be invincible at the same realm!

If his talent is sufficient, it's not impossible to confront opponents at higher realms!

"System, system, quickly, I want to learn this one!"

Jiang Bai couldn't wait.

[System: Understood!]

The manual for the Eight Nine Profound Art directly turned into a stream of light and entered his forehead.

Jiang Bai immediately felt as if he had merged with the Tao, and the spiritual energy was extremely compatible with him.

Subconsciously activating the cultivation method, the spiritual energy around him seemed to flow into his elixir field on its own, as if it had a consciousness.

Startled, Jiang Bai quickly stopped the activation.

Now was not the right time to cultivate.

Ming and Jie were in the courtyard, and with this kind of cultivation scene, they would definitely appear immediately to check.

To deceive Dugu Qing and Qin Xiaofeng, he had previously claimed that he couldn't cultivate.

At least for now, he couldn't reveal it.

He forcibly suppressed the urge to activate the cultivation method and looked at the remaining two rewards.

He first looked at the other cultivation manual.

On it were four large characters, "Shrink the Earth to an Inch"!

It was also a Divine Level cultivation method.

"System, is this for real? Are you giving out Low Level cultivation methods in abundance?"

Jiang Bai was somewhat incredulous, wondering if the system was being overly generous, fearing that there might be a catch!

[System: Host, rest assured, these are all rewards you obtained through your own strength, there are absolutely no tricks.]

Jiang Bai nodded, "I knew it, you are the most reliable system!"

Jiang Bai joyfully examined the introduction of "Shrink the Earth to an Inch."

"Shrink the Earth to an Inch" is more like a divine ability than a cultivation method.

It has only one function, which is to travel quickly, or in other words, to escape.

It doesn't have a specific level and can be learned quickly.

However, the power of this divine ability depends entirely on one's own cultivation.

Jiang Bai immediately learned it with great joy.

Similarly, it turned into a stream of light and entered his forehead.

After carefully digesting the key points, Jiang Bai began to experiment in the room.

With one step, his vision blurred, and he went from the bedside to the other side of the room, crashing into the wall.

He held his head, panting heavily, but with an excited expression on his face.

But he needed to practice it well, otherwise he would easily crash into walls, which would be a waste of energy!

The cultivation method of the Eight Nine Profound Art made too much noise, so he didn't dare to experiment with it. However, "Shrink the Earth to an Inch" was indeed an awesome divine ability.

Two cultivation methods, one for offense and one for escape.

If he couldn't win, he could escape, which seemed very reasonable.

They complemented each other very well, making Jiang Bai start to suspect whether the system was up to something!

After being tossed around by the system all night, was it just to first suppress and then give him two Apex Level cultivation methods?

Jiang Bai was starting to doubt his life because of the system's antics.

After trying "Shrink the Earth to an Inch," he looked at the last reward.

Learning from the experience of the previous two rewards, he was very much looking forward to the last one.

It was a golden-red egg, the size of a human head, emitting a scorching heat all over, distorting the air near its surface due to the high temperature.

Jiang Bai reached out and took it in his hand.

He could clearly feel how hot the surface of the egg was. To put it bluntly, if a raw egg were placed on it, it would be cooked in minutes!

But it wouldn't burn him at all.

He was very curious about what kind of egg it was.

After studying it for a while, Jiang Bai successfully asked the system about the origin of this egg.

[System: This egg is the egg of the divine beast, the Three-Legged Golden Crow. If the host drips his own blood on the surface of the egg, it will hatch and recognize the host. It will synchronize its growth with the host's cultivation, until it becomes a complete body comparable to the scorching sun!]

"The Three-Legged Golden Crow!"

Jiang Bai exclaimed again.

The famous Three-Legged Golden Crow was well-known to Jiang Bai.

It is said to be the spirit of the sun, residing on the Fusang divine tree in the eastern sea.

It is a divine bird on par with the Phoenix and the Vermilion Bird.

Jiang Bai gritted his teeth, bit his middle finger, and squeezed a drop of blood onto the egg.

Cracks immediately appeared on the surface of the eggshell, as if something inside was pushing hard.

Seeing this, Jiang Bai suddenly realized that when a divine beast was born, it would definitely be accompanied by celestial phenomena, and Dugu Qing and Qin Xiaofeng would definitely notice his abnormality.

Thinking of this, he quickly covered the egg, preventing the Three-Legged Golden Crow from hatching, and desperately called on the system to come up with a solution.

But the vitality inside the egg was too strong, and Jiang Bai was still just a mortal in flesh and blood, unable to suppress it at all.

Before the system could reply, the golden crow's egg directly cracked open!

"Oh no, this is a disaster!"

Jiang Bai looked at the broken golden crow's egg in despair.

But the expected celestial phenomena did not occur. The golden crow's egg just split into two halves, and a black crow appeared in front of Jiang Bai.

The crow's eyes were lively, staring directly at Jiang Bai, and he could even see a very human-like expression in its eyes.

Before he could speak, the crow opened its mouth and spoke!
