Chapter 5: Abundant Gains

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

At this moment, in the ancestral hall of the Nicholas family clan, the System prompts in Romo’s mind kept ringing.

[Ding… Gold-tier Ancestral Protection’s effect is over.]

[Ding… Special effect has been triggered. Successfully plundered the other party’s luck.]

[Ding… Received family clan luck.]

[Ding… Family clan’s luck level has risen to Level 2.]

[Ding… Mission accomplished. Received mission reward gift bag.]

Looking at the series of notifications, Romo became very happy. The System was indeed awesome. Just a mere gold-tier Ancestral Protection had not only averted his descendant’s luck from being plundered, it had even plundered the other party’s luck.

The other party’s luck had increased the family clan’s luck directly, causing it to rise by a level. This invisible advantage was extremely beneficial to their family clan.

Although luck was something that could not be seen or touched, it really existed and was extremely important, especially for those who cultivated. Those with strong luck were favored upon by the heavens, and during their cultivation, they would not encounter any bottleneck. Everything would be smooth-sailing. They would become accomplished very rapidly and could even become the legend of a generation.

If his own luck had been strong back then, and he had the protection of luck, he would not have been schemed against by others and be killed. This was true also for his family clan.

If their family clan had been blessed with strong luck, they would not have been nearly exterminated. Instead, it would have been them who exterminate the other clans.

After having plundered so much luck this time, it could be seen that the other party was definitely someone who had strong luck. His strength was definitely not weak either. To be able to generate that luck-plundering black light, he had to be at least a Great Archmage. Norton wondered if the other party had suffered a backfire from the gold-tier Ancestral Protection and was killed. If he was not dead, then a hidden danger would remain.

Once the other party had recovered from his injuries, he would definitely seek revenge. However, Romo had the System now. If the other party still dared to come, he would definitely not allow him to return alive. After thinking about this, Romo turned his attention toward the reward gift bag. He opened the gift bag immediately and started checking the items inside.

[Ding… Received 1 copy of Netherworld Nine Transformations Meditation Technique: high-grade, gold-tier cultivation technique, exclusively for Spectral Spirits.]

[Ding… Received Luck-Plundering Technique: incomplete technique, high-grade, silver-tier.]

[Ding… Received 1 Super Experience Talisman. It can increase the host’s strength.]

[Ding… Received 1 Marrow Cleansing Pill. It can increase aptitude.]

[Ding… Received 1 Dream Appearing Talisman. It can allow the skill to appear in dreams to be used once.]

[Ding… Received 1 Faith Candle. Lighting the Faith Candle allows Faith Points to be doubled.]

Damn! This is great! I can’t believe it has given me so many good things in one go! Especially the first, the ‘Netherworld Nine Transformations’! This is a meditation technique that I can cultivate!?

Romo had been worried previously that as a spirit, he would not be able to cultivate, but now, the System had given him a cultivation technique, and one which was even high-grade gold-tier! This was the strongest cultivation technique! With this cultivation technique, his strength would definitely advance by leaps and bounds, and he would be even more powerful than he was when alive.

With a thought from Romo, the cultivation technique instantly disappeared. All the contents of the cultivation technique were imprinted in Romo’s mind. Furthermore, Romo did not need to comprehend it. He was able to directly use it as he wished. What was produced by the System seemed as if Romo had created the cultivation technique himself.

Romo then looked at the Super Experience Talisman. With a thought, Romo used the Super Experience Talisman as well. Instantly, a powerful force surged into Romo’s body.

[Ding… The host’s strength has increased to Level 2 Spectral Spirit.]

[Ding… The host’s strength has increased to Level 3 Spectral Spirit.]

...

[Ding… The host’s strength has increased to Level 12 Spectral Spirit!]

After using the Super Experience Talisman, Romo’s cultivation level increased tremendously and he advanced directly to level-12 Spectral Spirit. He was equivalent to a level-12 Mage, which was also the full level. He was a little short of being promoted to a higher tier. Now that Romo’s strength had increased tremendously, he was naturally itching to see what he was capable of doing.

With a thought, he unleashed his powerful mental strength and stirred the airflow in the ancestral hall. Instantly, the entire ancestral hall was like being blown by a level-12 wind. All the items in the ancestral hall were blown off and sent flying in the air.

If Romo had not been inside his tablet, his tablet would have been blown off and sent flying. Romo quickly retracted his mental strength. Looking at the mess of items on the floor, Romo used his mental strength to control the items and put them back to their original places. This was basically Romo’s current ability. He could attack directly with his mental strength, and also use his mental strength to manipulate physical objects for attack. That was all he could do. After all, he was only in a spirit state. It was already good enough that he had these two attack methods. Even so, he probably would not have many opportunities to use such attacks, since he still did not have a physical body and remained trapped in the ancestral hall, unable to get out.

After he had finished testing out his own strength, Romo placed his attention again on that copy of Luck-Plundering Technique. From the name, he knew that it was a very mysterious cultivation technique. If it had been discovered by others, it would definitely lead to a bloodbath. However, why was this cultivation technique incomplete?

“System, it is stated that this cultivation technique is incomplete. Can it still be used?” Romo asked.

“It can certainly be used, but there will be side effects if used.”

“Side effects? What side effects?”

Romo asked hurriedly. He had to get to the bottom of this. If the side effects were serious, Romo would not use it readily. Otherwise, he might fail in the plunder of the other party’s luck and be killed by the side effects instead. That would have been terrible. As a spirit, Romo has no place to go to reason this with.

“The side effect is that after each use, there will be a tribulation.”

“A tribulation? How serious is the tribulation?” Romo asked.

“This will depend on the benefits you obtain from the cultivation technique. The more benefits you obtain, the greater the tribulation.”

“Damn, what’s the use of this?” Romo said gloomily. The tribulation might even kill him. However, Romo was still a little reluctant to abandon the use of this cultivation technique. After all, it was able to plunder luck from others. This was simply a heaven-defying cultivation technique.

Romo continued to ask, “System, can this cultivation technique be restored?”

“It certainly can be restored.” The System’s reply immediately made Romo excited. He said, “Quick, tell me how to restore it?”

“It takes 200,000 Faith Points to restore the cultivation technique.” The System had said it so lightly, but Romo was dismayed upon hearing it. Damn, 200,000 Faith Points, he did not even have 20,000 now, let alone 200,000.. With 200,000 Faith Points, there was nothing Romo could not do.
