[DING! SYSTEM AWAKENED]
[SYNCHRONISING WITH HOST]
[ANALYZING SOUL STRUCTURE]
[SOUL SYNCHRONISATION COMPLETE]
A faint white screen appeared before him, semi-transparent and floating in the air like a hologram.
"System?! A real golden finger? Hahaha!" Ling Hao laughed in surprise, unable to contain his excitement at this unexpected blessing.
After all, in many novels, people who transmigrate end up receiving a system, and with its help, they eventually become the strongest. Ling Hao couldn't help but feel excited now that he had also gained a system, his future seemed filled with limitless possibilities. The thought of having a powerful cheat-like companion thrilled him.
He imagined gaining skills instantly, cultivating faster than anyone else, and collecting rare treasures with ease. With a system, even impossible goals could become achievable. His heart raced at the idea of stepping onto the path of true greatness.
"So, System, what kind of system are you, and who created you?" Ling Hao asked curiously after finishing his laugh.
But he received no response, even after waiting for a while, leaving him confused and slightly impatient.
[The system is currently scanning this world and updating itself.
Estimated time remaining: 12 hours.]
"Oh, so the system is updating and it will take 12 hours to finish," Ling Hao muttered. He let out a small sigh, then shifted his attention to the final item on the table. Slowly, with curiosity and caution, he reached out and lifted the ring box into his hands.
The box was pitch black, decorated with elegant golden patterns. Inside it lay a ring black in color simple yet mysterious radiating a faint ancient aura.
"This is a storage ring," Ling Hao said knowing from Ling Hao's inherited memory. He slipped the ring onto his finger and gently infused his qi into it to activate its space.
Nothing happened, so Ling Hao paused and then suddenly remembered that storage rings required spiritual sense, not just qi. With that realization, he closed his eyes and focused.
This time, instead of forcing the space open, he relaxed his mind and let his spiritual sense flow into the ring. Gradually, a hazy space appeared in his consciousness, like mist slowly clearing.
After a few seconds, the image sharpened and he finally noticed a single pill bottle resting inside.
He then focused his spiritual sense on the pill bottle and imagined pulling it out. A moment later, with a soft flicker of light, the pill bottle appeared in his hand as if summoned by thought.
"Wow, this feels like magic," Ling Hao exclaimed with excitement.
He then tried placing the pill bottle back into the ring, and just like before, it vanished instantly and returned inside. Curious, he picked up the black sword and focused again. A faint ripple appeared and the sword disappeared into the ring's space, proving it worked the same way.
Ling Hao repeated the process a few more times, bringing the pill bottle in and out of the ring until he felt completely comfortable with how the storage function worked.
Once he was confident, he first takes the pill bottle out, then carefully unlocks the lid. After opening it, he brings the pill out and holds it in his palm.
The pill was small, smooth, and had a rich, deep red color as if made from condensed blood or fire essence. Even more shocking were the nine thin green circles perfectly wrapped around its surface, each one glowing faintly.
"A High-grade pill…?" Ling Hao whispered in disbelief, realizing just how precious it was.
From Ling Hao's inherited memories, he knew one thing very clearly—high-grade pills were incredibly rare. Only a handful of high-tier alchemists in the entire continent could refine them, and even then, the success rate was extremely low. Yet, somehow, he had found one inside this hidden place.
Although he couldn't immediately determine the exact tier of the pill, the rich medicinal fragrance spreading through the room told him it was no ordinary item. The aroma alone felt pure, dense, and full of vitality something only high-tier pills possessed. Just holding it made his heartbeat quicken.
As he continued examining the pill, a sudden white, transparent system screen appeared before him, floating in the air like a holographic.
[Name: Soul-Body Reb##lding P#l]
[Grade: Tier-7 Hi##h-Grade]
[Quality: #@#]
[Desc##ption: Consuming this pill fully rebuilds the user's soul a## body, restoring stren##h, vitality, and e##ancing cultivation potential.]
Ling Hao looked at the screen and said, "The system is scanning the pill and trying to show me its details, but it seems the system is updating, that's why it isn't showing the pill's details properly."
"Even though the system isn't showing full details, I can see that consuming this pill will fully rebuild the soul and body, greatly enhancing a cultivator's strength, potential, and overall cultivation capabilities," Ling Hao said.
Ling Hao pondered for a moment, debating whether he should consume the pill or not. The thought of taking such a powerful item made him hesitate—what if something went wrong, or if he wasn't ready for its effects? Yet, he knew deep down that this pill could drastically improve his cultivation and strengthen both his soul and body, offering him a huge advantage in the dangerous world he had entered.
After a short pause, he made up his mind. He would eat it, but carefully. If anyone discovered that he possessed a high-tier pill like this, it would surely bring trouble, and he couldn't afford to attract unnecessary attention so early in his journey.
He sat down on the ground and swallowed the pill. At first, nothing happened, just a few seconds of calm. Then, suddenly, intense pain surged through his body, making it impossible to breathe properly as his soul and body began the rebuilding process.
