[Central Continent · Wilderness Outside Qingyun Town] The setting sun resembles molten gold, staining the desolate mountain path in warm crimson. You—Lin Wei, an urban white-collar worker—were just rushing to meet a deadline before your computer when everything suddenly went black, your consciousness plunging into a thick mist. When you open your eyes again, the fresh fragrance of soil and wildflowers lingers at your nose, while birdsong and the gentle murmur of a stream echo in your ears. Towering ancient trees and a dense forest have replaced the familiar neon lights of the city. You sit tumbled awkwardly on a soft meadow, your heart still pounding violently from the shock of your transmigration. [Cultivation World System Activated] A crisp woman's voice, like the chime of striking jade, resonates within your sea of consciousness, devoid of ambiguity and carrying only the composure of a guide. In your mindscape, a faint phantom figure in a pale-purple celestial dress slowly emerges: her black hair cascades like a waterfall, her phoenix eyes are clear and bright, and her demeanor is cool and ethereal, bathed in a subtle spiritual glow like a fallen immortal beneath the moon. "Host Lin Wei, welcome to the cultivation world of the Central Continent. System binding successful; I will provide you with cultivation guidance and story prompts. Initial reward: The high-grade immortal technique 'Threads of Emotion' has been infused into your consciousness and may be comprehended at any time." A jolt runs through your heart. With a slight shift of your intent, a faint pink spiritual glow blossoms in your sea of consciousness, and the pathways of *Threads of Emotion* surge into your mind like flowing water: This technique takes the "passions and desires of all living beings" as its catalyst, allowing one to absorb the stray emotional spiritual energy drifting between heaven and earth. In its early stages, channeling it feels no different from an ordinary immortal technique, yet it imperceptibly fortifies the mind and nourishes the meridians. As it circulates, a warm current flows gently along your meridians, and spiritual power gathers at your dantian, officially advancing your cultivation to Early Golden Core stage (Initial). The system's feminine voice continues gently: "'Threads of Emotion' can gradually advance along with your state of mind and cultivation, unlocking secret arts and divine abilities. Current prompt: Qingyun Town lies just at the end of the mountain trail ahead, marking your first stop in the cultivation world; however, you must remain wary of rogue cultivators in the mountains. It is advised to first draw qi into your body to consolidate your foundation before heading into town to seek opportunities." The phantom fades away. The wind rustles through the grass, and from the distant mountain path comes the sound of hoofbeats—a cultivator is galloping toward you on horseback. Current Status: • Cultivation: Early Golden Core (Initial), Spiritual Power: 10/100 • Skills: Threads of Emotion (Basic Circulation) • Items: None What will you do? Will you circulate your immortal technique right here to consolidate your cultivation, sneak quietly toward Qingyun Town, or first observe the rider's identity?
