I Can Do Anything?-Chapter 16: No Evil?

...

Yet another day, another commotion at the sect grounds.

"You! Lin Wei, how dare you scam me!"

"I-I never scammed you! Liar!"

Two outer disciples fight over a glowing yellow crystal.

Dozens of disciples surround the two, some amused, while some are on Lin Wei's side, surprisingly.

"How dare you Chen Xi, give the crystal back to Lin Wei if he scammed you!"

"Yeah! Exactly! If he did scam you, just give it back!"

Chen Xi frowns, his eyes watering as he starts stomping. "You-you, how dare you guys! I'm going to go tell my master!"

He throws the crystal at Lin Wei, running away in tears.

Lin Wei laughs, waving his hand. "Goodbye Chen Xi! Good luck on breaking through to the second layer of Qi Gathering, if you even can!"

Laughter spreads from the spot, driving the running Chen Xi crazy.

"H-how dare they! Don't they know my master? Those bastards, how could they just bully me, didn't he scam me?"

The young Chen Xi is only 12. He got into the sect through connections, and only has low-grade talent.

Suddenly, he bumps into someone, and the person he bumped into falls back.

Chen Xi chokes on his sob, quickly running to the person he bumped into. "Are you okay?"

Xuan Wu sees stars. He was just going to the hidden scripture pavilion to get the technique his master asked for, how come someone just came running at him?

Chen Xi continues asking. "Junior brother, I see you are only a mortal with no cultivation, are you fine?"

Xuan Wei spits blood, resulting in Chen Xi worrying further. "Oh no, we have to get you to the medical quarters!"

Xuan Wei did not spit blood because he was injured, no, it was because he was called junior brother yet again. He looks at Chen Xi's face, chubby and youthful, like a little baby, how come he is the elder brother?

He nearly faints.

"Junior brother!" A hand grabs Chen Xi's shoulder.

"N-no, s-s-senior brother, I'm fine." Xuan Wei stands up, visibly cringing. "I'll just be on m-my way then."

He staggers towards the hidden scripture pavilion, whispering curses.

Chen Xi looks back, his eyebrows furrowed in worry. "O-okay then junior brother, just come to me if you're still hurting!"

Chen Xi nods. "I'll go back to my master now, tell him about my bullies too!"

Chen Xi starts running yet again.

"Gosh, I really need to start cultivating, just a first layer Qi Gathering cultivator nearly knocked me out just by running into me!"

Xuan Wu rubs his forehead, walking into the hidden scripture pavilion.

The inside is designed like a library, with cultivation techniques, manuals, arts, battle forms, basically a cultivators version of a library.

An old janitor sweeps the ground, one sweep, two sweeps, three sweeps, and then he turns around, one sweep, two sweeps, three sweeps, turn around.

For some reason, Xuan Wu was mesmerized by this pattern. "This old janitor must be a hidden master, I'll definitely get into contact with him soon."

Xuan Wu grins, opening up his cheat system to scan the janitor.

[Name: Wei Yin] [Title: Great Whirlwind Janitor. Effects: Gains minor protection against mortal diseases.]

[Age: 72/80]

[Cultivation Realm: Mortal]

[Innate Talents: Heavenly Pattern Recognition]

Xuan Wu sighs. "What a sad life. An incredible innate talent but no cultivation talent to back it, he was doomed for death as a mortal." He shakes his head, walking to the front counter where an outer sect elder sits behind.

Xuan Wu says no words, handing the elder a paper.

The elder immediately stands up, handing Xuan Wu a book. The title of it was. "One Thousand Sword Cultivation Technique."

As Xuan Wu walks out, he considers the book. "So this will be my cultivation technique? Apparently, even if you have a very low talent, a good cultivation technique can make you faster at cultivating than even medium-grade talents."

After a few hours of walking, he reaches the Sword Peak.

The sword peak is of course, shaped like a wide rugged sword.

The stairs leading up the mountain are stone swords, lined up.

Xuan Wu ascends, being out of breath by the time he reaches the Sword Peak grounds.

Sword cultivators are ascetics, they remain hermits in their abodes most of the time. So the peak grounds were pretty empty. Traveling further up the mountain, he reaches his master's abode.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Come in."

The sword peak elder, Zeng Su sits on a pile of swords, meditating with his eyes closed. the scent of incense fills the room.

Zeng Su slowly opens his eyes, frowning as Xuan Wu enters.

"This brat. Little Shi forced me to take him into the peak, perhaps out of pity. Trash low-grade talents, what was Little Shi thinking?"

Xuan Wu fakes a smile as he enters, bowing. "Disciple greets master!" But on the inside, his thoughts were a lot different. "Greetings bastard, you've been treating me like shit you think I haven't noticed? Good luck tonight with your diarrhea bastard."

Xuan Wu looks to the side, at the gorgeous blue panel floating there.

[Zeng Su]

[Conditions:]

[Clear Skin, Alcoholic, Diarrhea]

A few hours ago, he was checking out some functions of his cheat system, and he found out that he can literally do anything.

That includes, giving conditions to people. For example, he experimented it on a random outer disciple, giving the disciple late-stage balding.

The disciple went bald instantly, and Xuan Wu quickly removed it.

Not only can he add bad conditions, he can also add good conditions. He realised that people are born with personalities, while conditions come later in life.

Back to the abode, Zeng Su stands up, clasping Xuan Wu's shoulder with a smirk.

"Do you have the technique...?"

Xuan Wu smiles, handing Zeng Su the technique. "I do master, I can't wait to start cultivating!"

Zeng Su grabs the book out of Xuan Wu's hands and turns around, secretly chuckling. "You're only a low-grade talent, what makes you think you can even get past Qi Gathering?"

He giggles to himself. "How foolish."

Opening up the book, he reads through it, nodding. He grabs a nearby jade token, imprinting the books information onto it, then chucking it at Xuan Wu. "Here you go, you may leave."

Xuan Wu catches the token with a grunt, bowing and then leaving.

He walks down, going to his personal abode. A small cave.

Inside, he takes a seat, and reads through the small jade. The words are really really small.

"Damn this bastard, to think he really fit all those words onto this small token, fucking bastard, rot in hell!"

Xuan Wu grunts, taking 12 hours straight just to absorb all of it.

After 12 hours, he sits there with a serene expression. "I understand it. The One Thousand Sword Cultivation Technique consists of cultivating qi in the form of swords, eventually compressing one thousand swords into your golden core."

He nods, looking at the new system popup.

[Detected Cultivation Technique, would you like to learn it?]

[Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Perfection]

Xuan Wu chuckles. "This system can really do anything... if this is too hard for me to comprehend, maybe I'll cheat a little."

He swipes the system panel away, starting to cultivate.

"Okay. Breathe in the shape of a sword."

At first, he inhales in the pattern of a sword, it fails, causing him to have a nosebleed.

On his second to seventh attempt, he finally got a rounded shape down, and he started refining it.

On the eighth to twentieth attempt, he finally got a rusty rugged shape down.

Fifty attempts later, and it was already night. Blood puddled around the room from nose bleeds, and he could only achieve a slightly less rugged sword.

"Really, this is insane, the beginner shape sketched onto this token is way more refined than my current sword."

He sighs, looking outside at the moon, before falling asleep.
