Xiao Ning spent the entire day cultivating, and apart from going to the kitchen for three meals a day, he did not waste a single moment, devoting all his time to cultivating the Nine Yang Divine Skill.
The next morning, before dawn.
Xiao Ning got up early. After washing up, he didn't rush to sweep the square. Instead, he sat on the edge of the bed, rubbed his hands together, and opened the system.
"System, I want to check in!"
With a thought, Xiao Ning connected with the system in his mind and started the sign-in for the second day.
[Check-in successful! Two consecutive days of check-ins!]
[Congratulations, host! You have received a reward for signing in: 1 tael of silver!]
[The prize has been sent to your system space. Please check it!]
As the system's mechanical voice sounded, Xiao Ning's face darkened.
"What the hell..."
Xiao Ning couldn't understand. Yesterday's sign-in reward was the "Nine Yang Divine Skill". If you don't want to give me a peerless divine skill like the "Nine Yin Manual" or the "Dugu Nine Swords" the next day, you could at least give me a second-tier divine skill like the "Purple Cloud Divine Skill"!
Even if all else fails, the Quanzhen Swordplay wouldn't be unacceptable!
But what is the meaning of this one tael of silver?
Could it be that this so-called system is... a case of false advertising?
After muttering to himself for a while, Xiao Ning let out a long sigh of relief, finally calming down before going out to sweep the floor.
There's a saying that goes, "Life is like that, since you can't fight it, you might as well enjoy it!"
After another round of sweeping, Xiao Ning sat in the kitchen, eating a cornbread and drinking rice porridge.
"Have you heard? Third Master Yu has been crippled..."
"What? Where did you hear this news from?"
At that moment, Xiao Ning's ears twitched, and he overheard the whispers of the two fire-working Taoist priests at the next table.
After cultivating internal energy, Xiao Ning's five senses were greatly enhanced. Sounds he couldn't hear and things he couldn't see before were now clearly discernible.
Hearing the two whispering, Xiao Ning paused in his hand, his face showing no sign of anything amiss, but his heart was in turmoil.
"Yu Daiyan was crippled? That's right, Zhang Sanfeng's 90th birthday was recently, and the entire Wudang Sect was filled with joy, except for the third brother, Yu Daiyan, who didn't return..."
"I remember that the novel *The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber* begins with the crippling of Yu Laosan..."
"So, next up are the four brothers, Song Yuanqiao (eldest), Zhang Songxi (fourth), Zhang Cuishan (fifth), and Yin Liting (sixth), who will all go down to Wudang Mountain to find the murderer..."
"Then, at the Wangpan Mountain Sword-Raising Ceremony, Xie Xun, the Golden-Haired Lion King, displayed his divine power, snatched the Dragon-Slaying Saber, and abducted Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu, fleeing overseas..."
While eating his cornbread, Xiao Ning kept thinking about the plot.
"Should I do something? Should I tell the truth?"
After a moment, Xiao Ning pondered to himself. After all, if the Wudang Sect hadn't taken in his predecessor, he might have died in some stinking ditch long ago, and there would be no Xiao Ning today. Xiao Ning had to acknowledge this kindness.
"Forget it. I'm just a nobody. Even if I told Master Zhang who the real culprit was, it wouldn't make any difference. It would only cause me more trouble!"
Then, he shook his head slightly, abandoning his previous plan.
If he has already mastered his divine skills, it doesn't matter. Even if Master Zhang suspects his origins, he can retreat calmly even if he can't defeat him.
Since you're only just beginning your journey in martial arts, it's best not to cause trouble.
To put it another way, according to the original plot, the four heroes of Wudang's descent from the mountain this time can be considered to have been without danger. Zhang Cuishan even won the favor of a beautiful woman, while only Yu Daiyan had to suffer a bit, being paralyzed in bed for more than ten years.
Then, thinking of Yu Daiyan's martial arts skills, even with his seventh level of acquired cultivation, he ended up in such a tragic state.
"Hiss! It's too dangerous outside. The Mongols are secretly sowing discord, and there's constant fighting in the martial arts world!"
"With my mediocre skills, I'd better stay on Mount Wudang and diligently practice my ultimate martial arts..."
Xiao Ning made up his mind to stay on Wudang Mountain from now on, develop his skills in a lowly manner, and not come down the mountain until he had mastered his divine skills.
As for the unpleasant matter of the morning sign-in reward, he had long since forgotten about it. Compared to his life and fortune, other trivial matters could be disregarded.
Moreover, one tael of silver is not bad; it's better than nothing!
In the days that followed, aside from completing her daily cleaning duties, Xiao Ning spent most of her remaining time practicing the Nine Yang Divine Skill.
In terms of martial arts, the improvement is methodical, neither too fast nor too slow.
As for the sign-in rewards, they were really disappointing.
On the third day, you will receive an additional 1 point as a sign-in reward.
On the fourth day, the sign-in reward is 1 tael of silver.
It was on the third day that Xiao Ning learned that in addition to rewards such as martial arts manuals and silver, the sign-in system also had so-called points.
However, after the points were credited to his account, there was no further activity. Xiao Ning guessed that it might be because he had too few points.
"Perhaps I should try signing in at a different place..."
On the morning of the fifth day, Xiao Ning was about to sign in when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he stopped.
"Oh right, how could I forget..."
