"Urgh!"

"Urgh urgh!"

After Xiao Mo's consciousness separated from the Book of a Hundred Lives, he felt nauseous and dizzy with dry heaves.

He wanted to vomit, but couldn't bring anything up no matter how hard he tried.

To prevent Wei Xun, who was guarding outside, from discovering his abnormal state, Xiao Mo covered his mouth and tried his best not to make any sound.

He knew this was the side effect the Book of a Hundred Lives had mentioned earlier.

It took a full incense stick's worth of time before Xiao Mo gradually felt better.

[First life experience settlement complete.]

The Book of a Hundred Lives' voice echoed in Xiao Mo's mind.

[Host lived for a total of fifteen years and one month during this life experience.]

[Host brought Jiang Qingyi back to Lingqian Peak, taught Jiang Qingyi cultivation, sacrificed root bones and lifespan to unblock Jiang Qingyi's spiritual meridians, and at the final moment, Host removed the innate sword bone and returned it to Jiang Qingyi.]

[At the moment of Host's death, Jiang Qingyi's highest cultivation realm was Nascent Soul realm.]

[System reward settlement:

First, Chaotic Human Emperor Bone: This bone originated in the chaotic ancient period. In ancient times, Human Emperors could also cultivate, but later due to changes in heaven and earth's laws, Human Emperors could not cultivate, otherwise they would suffer deep karmic consequences. By obtaining this bone, even as an emperor, Host can still cultivate. Host will not be affected by imperial karma.

Second, Grass Character Sword Intent: The "Grass Character Sword Formula" is a sword technique that 'Xiao Mo' obtained from a ruin. This sword technique emphasizes killing and can lead to the great Dao. The "Grass Character Sword Intent" contains the complete "Grass Character Sword Formula" technique as well as Xiao Mo's comprehension of the Grass Character Sword Formula.

Third, Breath Concealing Formula: By cultivating this method, unless one is a cultivator of the Upper Three Realms, they cannot detect Host's cultivation level.]

[Reward settlement complete. The Book of a Hundred Lives will prepare for one incense stick's worth of time. After one incense stick, Host can experience other lives.]

As the Book of a Hundred Lives' voice faded, Xiao Mo felt one of his vertebrae becoming burning hot, as if on fire.

"Hiss!"

Xiao Mo gasped from the pain, grabbed a pillow, hugged it tightly, and bit down hard.

Sweat poured from his forehead.

Ten minutes later, the burning pain gradually subsided.

Lying on the bed, Xiao Mo breathed heavily, sweat soaking the bedding and pillow.

However, Xiao Mo felt as if he had become much lighter.

This was a mysterious and ineffable feeling.

Originally, Xiao Mo felt his body was bound by various invisible shackles but now, all those shackles had been released.

Xiao Mo guessed those shackles were karma.

After obtaining the Human Emperor Bone, that karma no longer affected him.

Immediately after, the complete contents of the "Grass Character Sword Formula" and "Breath Concealing Formula" suddenly appeared in Xiao Mo's mind.

When experiencing that life, Xiao Mo had felt the "Grass Character Sword Formula" was extraordinary.

Unfortunately, once he left the Book of a Hundred Lives, he would completely forget all the techniques and cultivation insights from within the book.

Xiao Mo had no way to replicate everything he learned in the Book of a Hundred Lives in reality but now, he had the Grass Character Sword Intent.

The sword intent contained the "Grass Character Sword Formula" as well as 'Xiao Mo's' comprehension of the Grass Character Sword Formula.

This was like having a master guide his cultivation, greatly avoiding detours.

The only difference was that this "master" was actually himself.

In summary, Xiao Mo was very satisfied with this reward.

Xiao Mo even wondered how rich his rewards would be if Qingyi reached the Jade Simplicity realm but Xiao Mo was just thinking about it.

In his first life, he felt he had truly done his best.

[Book of a Hundred Lives second life preparation complete. Does Host wish to enter the Book of a Hundred Lives for experience?]

"Yes!"

Xiao Mo didn't hesitate.

He was also curious about what the next "life experience" would be like.

[Please create a name for Host.]

"Xiao Mo."

Xiao Mo decisively used his real name.

I just like using my real name online.

[Host is about to enter the Book of a Hundred Lives to experience a different life. Please prepare yourself, Host.]

Another familiar dizzy sensation.

When Xiao Mo came to his senses, he was standing in a dilapidated wooden house.

He looked at his hands.

"Hm? I've become a child?"

[Mission Background: Your name is Xiao Mo, an ordinary villager of Stone Bridge Village, eleven years old.

When you were seven, your parents passed away, and you became an orphan.

But Stone Bridge Village has simple and kind folk customs. Additionally, your parents were helpful to others during their lifetime and had good relationships with the villagers.

So the villagers take turns bringing you food.

You grew up eating meals from many families.

After age ten, you usually go up the mountain to gather medicinal herbs for money, or help villagers herd cattle to repay them for the food.

Although your life is impoverished, you won't starve to death.]

[Mission Assignment:

Mission One: You are an ordinary person without spiritual roots, unable to cultivate in this lifetime. However, you have great talent for studying. Please pass the imperial examinations and become an official. The higher your official position and the greater your fame, the richer this reward will be.

Mission Two: Today you go up the mountain to gather herbs. Go north up the mountain, beside the pond where you often graze cattle. There is an injured white snake. This snake possesses spirituality and has encountered great fortune by obtaining a drop of true dragon essence blood.

She has the potential to transform into a dragon.

Dragon transformation has five stages: "snake, python, boa, flood dragon, dragon."

Please help her transform into a dragon. For each stage she evolves, Host's reward becomes richer.]

[Mission Duration: Two lives and two worlds.

A thousand years to become a flood dragon, ten thousand years to transform into a dragon.

Transforming from snake to dragon normally requires ten thousand years.

Although this snake has exceptional talent and obtained true dragon essence blood, it still requires at least several thousand years.

Therefore, Host's life experience this time is divided into two lives, both as ordinary people unable to cultivate.

This is the first life.

Host will be reborn for a second life three thousand years after death, continuing to help the other party transform into a dragon.

After both lives end, this life experience concludes and rewards are settled.]

As the Book of a Hundred Lives' voice disappeared, Xiao Mo carefully digested what it had said.

It wasn't actually difficult to understand.

The time for a snake to transform into a dragon was too long, and he would be an ordinary person in both lives, unable to cultivate, with too short a lifespan.

So this time, the Book of a Hundred Lives' life experience was divided into two lifetimes.

After the first life ended, this white snake would settle for three thousand years.

Three thousand years later, I would be reborn for another life and continue helping her transform into a dragon.

"But the problem is, even with two lifetimes, if I'm just an ordinary person in both lives, what can I actually help this white snake with?" Xiao Mo sighed.

"Forget it, let me rescue that white snake first."

Xiao Mo shouldered a bamboo basket, took a hoe and sickle, walked out of the courtyard, and headed up the mountain.
