    Lu Yi stared at the suddenly appearing text in his vision. After rubbing his eyes several times, he finally confirmed that he wasn’t dreaming.


    His eyes reddened, and he almost burst into tears: "My golden finger, lost for sixteen years, you’ve finally come back to me!"


    Lu Yi was a transmigrator. Sixteen years ago, he transmigrated to this world called the Tianming Continent.


    This world was vast and filled with powerful cultivators, demons, devils, evil cultivators, and countless dangers.


    Fortunately, Lu Yi’s luck wasn’t bad. He had been reincarnated into a cultivation sect. Both his parents were outer sect stewards. While their status wasn’t very high, it was still better than most people’s.


    Although Lu Yi’s talent in cultivation wasn’t extraordinary, it was decent enough. At sixteen, he had reached the sixth level of the Qi Refinement Stage. He was hopeful of building his foundation and joining the inner sect before the age of twenty, surpassing even his parents’ achievements.


    Initially, Lu Yi’s greatest aspiration was to join the inner sect, become a steward, enjoy a comfortable life for a couple of centuries, marry a few wives, have children and grandchildren, and then die peacefully of old age.


    But life had other plans. His golden finger appeared unexpectedly!


    Lu Yi silently crossed out his original goals in his mind.


    "Wahoo, time to soar!"


    After some exploration, Lu Yi realized this golden finger resembled a game panel, displaying his cultivation level and the techniques he practiced.


    His sect, the White Cloud Sect, provided foundational cultivation methods such as the "White Cloud Qi Absorption Technique," which could be cultivated up to the Foundation Establishment Stage. The "White Cloud Swordsmanship" and "White Cloud Footwork" were basic techniques suitable for Qi Refinement Stage cultivators.


    The last section, [Current Task], seemed to relate to quests, but how did one accept quests?Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.


    Despite some experimenting, Lu Yi couldn’t figure it out. After pondering for a moment, he called out in his mind: "System spirit?"


    After waiting a while with no response, he concluded: "Hmm… it seems to be just a simple panel."


    He tried tapping on the panel mentally, but nothing happened. He was at a loss. "So how do I use this golden finger?"


    Just then, a gentle voice came from outside the door:


    "Yi’er, are you awake?"


    It was his mother’s voice.


    Lu Yi snapped out of his thoughts and replied, "I’m awake."


    He got out of bed, deciding to resume his research after breakfast.


    In the main hall, Lu Yi’s parents, Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi, sat at the table. Lu Gaoyang was a handsome middle-aged man, while Wang Siqi had a gentle and refined appearance.


    Next to them stood a pretty maid named Bai Lingling, responsible for household chores as part of their status as outer sect stewards.


    "Yi’er, come have breakfast," Wang Siqi said with a smile.


    Lu Gaoyang, being stricter, frowned and asked, "Why are you up so late today? The path of cultivation demands diligence!"


    Lu Yi replied, "I understand, Father."


    Wang Siqi rolled her eyes at Lu Gaoyang. "Yi’er’s talent surpasses yours. He’ll join the inner sect in no time. Stop nagging him!"


    Lu Gaoyang’s face darkened as he reluctantly lowered his head and resumed eating.


    Lu Yi chuckled, enjoying the lively atmosphere. His parents often bickered, but their affection for each other—and for him—was evident.


    Suddenly, Lu Gaoyang recalled something. "Oh, the outer sect competition is in a month. You’ve reached the sixth level of the Qi Refinement Stage. You should participate. It’ll be a good experience."


    The White Cloud Sect’s outer sect competition was an annual event. High-ranking participants received rewards, and the top ten could directly join the inner sect without needing additional assessments.


    Given the large number of outer sect disciples, competition was fierce. Last year, Lu Yi, still at the fifth level, hadn’t participated. This year, he could at least pass the preliminary rounds.


    Lu Yi nodded. "Understood, Father."


    Just then, the text in Lu Yi’s vision changed.


    [Task]: Participate in the White Cloud Sect Outer Sect Competition. Rewards will vary based on ranking.


    Accept: Yes/No


    So that’s how the task module worked? It triggered quests automatically?


    Excited, Lu Yi immediately selected "Yes." The panel updated:


    [Current Task]: Participate in the White Cloud Sect Outer Sect Competition.


    An idea sparked in Lu Yi’s mind. Smiling, he turned to his parents. "Father, Mother, do you need me to do anything? Should I massage your legs or give you a back rub?"


    "???"


    Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi stared at him, utterly confused.


    "Just focus on your cultivation!" Lu Gaoyang said, exasperated. "If you’re bored, practice the White Cloud Swordsmanship ten times this morning!"


    [Task]: Practice the White Cloud Swordsmanship ten times (Progress: 0/10).


    Reward: White Cloud Swordsmanship Level +1.


    Accept: Yes/No


    Lu Yi’s grin widened as he selected "Yes." "It’s just as I thought!"


    "Got it, Father! I’ll complete the task!"


    Wang Siqi, sensing something was off, placed a hand on Lu Yi’s forehead. "Yi’er, are you feeling okay? Do you have a fever?"


    Lu Yi’s smile froze as he realized he’d been too excited. "I’m fine, Mother. I’ll go train now!"


    Grabbing a couple of meat buns, Lu Yi dashed out to complete his tasks and claim his rewards.
