‘The lower abdomen has suffered attacks by external forces, causing the body to be unable to condense Dou Qi.’

‘The heart has been corroded by poison, which led to poor blood circulation, causing the body’s constitution to deteriorate.’
‘The bloodline has been cursed, causing it to be unable to sense and absorb mana.’

…
After returning home, Shu Ke carefully examined his body with the help of the system.
He discovered that his body was like a broken fishnet that was torn by someone deliberately. It was so tattered and unbearable to look at.
The damage to his body was indeed man-made.
“External attacks, poison erosion, cursed bloodline… There are at least 10 man-made flaws in my body.”
“It is precisely because of these flaws that I have not been able to gather my Dou Qi and sense mana for such a long time.”
Shu Ke clenched his fists tightly as he spoke.
An uncontrollable fury rose in his eyes. All of the hardship and unfairness that he had suffered over the past eighteen years were all man-made!
These thoughts made Shu Ke wish that he could dismember the mastermind behind all of this!
Shu Ke was able to deduce something from this.
The person who did this to him surely had something to do with his parents’ disappearance and must have connections with the Vincent Family!
Ever since he had discovered his inability to cultivate, no one in the Vincent family had ever thought of helping him. This meant that they knew something.
After his parents’ disappearance, the family had never thought of looking for them.
After putting the two and two together on everything that had happened to him, Shu Ke was almost certain that the Vincent family knew something that no one else knew. They might have single-handedly caused all of this!

“Vincent family, no matter what you are hiding, I will personally uncover your dirty secrets!”
Shu Ke’s expression was somewhat malevolent as he swore. He then turned his attention back to his own body.
Health is one’s most precious asset.
If he wanted to know the truth behind this and take revenge on the Vincent family, he would have to take care of his body first.
Repair flaw of inability to condense Dou Qi: 1000 (energy points).
Repair flaw of slow condensation of Dou Qi: 1300 (energy points).
…
“Energy points?”
Shu Ke looked at the conditions for recovery listed on the system interface and frowned.
Energy points must be the system’s currency, but he didn’t know how to obtain them.
‘Energy points can be obtained by exchanging magic nuclei, magic crystal coins, or high-energy treasures.’
The system enthusiastically answered Shu Ke’s question, but Shu Ke wasn’t happy at all. He had a dejected look on his face.
Magic nuclei were the power source of magical beasts. They were only obtainable by killing a magical beast.
Magic crystal coins were a type of ore buried deep in the ground. They contained magic power. After being processed, they were used as a form of currency. Due to its high content of magic power, it became the most common currency of the continent.
Normally, magic crystal coins would only be used for interracial transactions. A commoner would have to work tirelessly for a lifetime to earn one magic crystal coin.
As for high-energy treasures, they were obviously legendary divine items. No one in the Vincent family managed to produce a single one.
“None of these seems to be of any use to me?” Shu Ke said with some difficulty.
Like a writer without pen, Shu Ke’s current state did not allow him to compete with others for these three things
A brand new path was laid out in front of him, yet he could not move forward.
Shu Ke felt extremely aggrieved and upset.
It is detected that the host has a magic nucleus worth 3000 energy points. Do you want to exchange it?
Just when Shu Ke was in a dilemma, the system suddenly spoke.
“Yes!” said Shu Ke without hesitation.
Shu Ke didn’t even wonder where the magic nucleus came from.
What he should be most concerned about now was cultivation. As long as he could start cultivation as soon as possible, the rest were just minor details!
However, he soon knew where the magic nucleus came from.
“My ring?”
A ray of light flashed on the tip of Shu Ke’s finger. The ring on his finger lost its luster, and the blue gemstone on it disappeared.
The sight of it made Shu Ke feel mixed emotions.
This was one of the few things his parents left for him, but it was gone just like that.
He was their son, yet he could not even protect the little things that were left to commemorate them, it wasn’t hard to imagine how Shu Ke felt.

Shu Ke shook his head and quickly shoved these thoughts to the back of his mind. After all, they weren’t here anymore.
“As long as I can train and figure out everything behind this, this little sacrifice is still worth it!”
Shu Ke gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down.
Then, he chose to repair the two flaws that prevented him from condensing his Dou Qi.
A ray of seven-colored fluorescent light was faintly visible under Shu Ke’s skin. It was like a stream of water, slowly nourishing Shu Ke’s entire body.
“Ah!”
Shu Ke could not help but let out a comfortable moan as the system continued to repair his body condition.

The repair from the system did not cause him any pain. Instead, it gave him an indescribable sense of comfort. It was as if there were warm little hands massaging his entire body.
It was so comfortable it made Shu Ke feel sleepy.
However, Shu Ke did not fall asleep. He forcefully suppressed his urge to sleep. He wanted to start cultivating as soon as the repair was completed.
It would be the first time he could successfully cultivate Dou Qi in eighteen years. So, there was nothing more important than it.
The system performed the repair very rapidly. It was completed in just a few breaths’ time.
“I can feel it!”
The moment the repair was completed, Shu Ke sensed the Dou Qi residues in his body that he had been waiting for.
These were the residues of Dou Qi that remained in his body after all these years of unremitting training.
Since Shu Ke had been unable to condense Dou Qi back then, its residues could only wander around Shu Ke’s body and were scattered in all directions.
Now, Shu Ke was finally able to condense Dou Qi. Moreover, with the help of the system, he could even increase the speed of the condensation.
These Dou Qi residues had become abnormally active. Shu Ke did not even need to try to sense them much before he felt them becoming restless.
“This should be considered as my first complete cultivation training, right?”
Shu Ke took a deep breath and cleared his mind of distracting thoughts. Then, he began his first complete cultivation training.
He did not have much time left. He had a test in a month. He had to give it his all!
