[Year 26, age 50.]
[You don't stay in the mountains every day.]
[On days when "Martin's Morning" transforms you into a non-human race, you occasionally wander into nearby villages and towns.]
[By peddling the pills you refined yourself, you can trade for some Source Stones, and then use Source Stones to buy everyday necessities.]
[Granted, you don't really need necessities when living in the wild, but even grilled meat needs a pinch of salt to taste good, right?]
[When visiting villages, you also enthusiastically strike up conversations with fellow cultivators, learning more about the situation on this planet.]
[This planet has no nations; instead, it operates under a sect-ruled system.]
[That is, all land belongs to the various major sects. They both recruit disciples and train cultivators, while also maintaining government-like institutions to manage the territory, people, economy, construction, and so on within their jurisdiction.]
[Firelight Star is home to an immense number of sects, each ruling its own patch of land like pieces of a fragmented puzzle.]
[Among them, three sects stand above the rest in power.]
[The Dragonflame Sect led by the Dragonfolk, the Featherfall Sect led by the Winged, and the Azure Hill Sect led by the Three-Eyed.]
[The planet's only starport is jointly managed by these three.]
[Whoever controls the starport controls access to the planet, and the wealth and power that comes with it is immense, as one might imagine.]
["Once I hit a bottleneck in my cultivation, I'll have to find a way to infiltrate a sect. Otherwise, I have absolutely no clue how to condense Qi into a Pill..." ]
[For now, you can't solve the identity problem, and you haven't felt a bottleneck in your cultivation yet, so you're in no hurry to dig deeper into this matter.]
Days passed one after another.
In the simulation, Chen Yi lived a life akin to an ascetic monk, diligently improving his cultivation.
At the same time, he was also accumulating wealth.
With his clone helping to gather materials, and occasionally robbing some unfortunate alien races, Chen Yi finally managed to amass a decent stockpile of cultivation resources.
Once, he robbed a big fish and obtained an extremely precious spirit treasure — a storage pouch!
A plain gray, shabby little sack, even with patches on it.
But this thing was a spirit treasure.
The immortal artifacts of the Void Realm corresponded to high-grade magic tools in the Material Realm, not even worthy of being called spirit treasures.
The storage pouch had a good reason to be high-end: it contained a small internal space. Under the suppression of this realm's laws, what else could it be but a treasure?
Furthermore, Chen Yi also learned that spirit treasures in the Material Realm came in two categories.
One was called Acquired Spirit Treasures, the other Innate Spirit Treasures.
Acquired Spirit Treasures were further divided into grades: Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary.
Do these names look oddly familiar?
They were the same as the quality names for traits!
This was the second time Chen Yi had discovered elements in the Material Realm that seemed connected to the trait system.
With the storage pouch, Chen Yi's storage problems were finally solved.
The original owner of this pouch was a Ninth-Turn Core Refining expert.
His combat ability was quite formidable — the kind of powerhouse who could fight above his own tier.
Unfortunately, he wasn't of the human race.
Running into Chen Yi was the worst luck he could have had.
But that fellow wasn't easy to kill. In the end, he blew up his own body to force Chen Yi back, leaving behind only a single Core that escaped by flight.
Failing to eliminate the root of the problem, Chen Yi deeply regretted it.
This also served as a reminder: when dealing with cultivators above the Core Refining stage, always watch out for their "Core escape."
In the blink of an eye, ten years passed.
Chen Yi cultivated relentlessly, with trait speed boosts and heavy pill consumption. His true cultivation finally reached the Ninth-Turn Peak of Qi Refining!
At this point, a bottleneck appeared.
He had no idea how to elevate True Qi into Prime Qi, nor how to condense Qi to form a Core.
The cultivators he encountered in villages and towns were at most at the Qi Refining stage.
When he talked with them, they could only say "condense Qi to form a Core" — ask them how, and they'd just be bluffing, unable to explain anything substantive.
Chen Yi knew it was time to stop working behind closed doors. He needed to seek guidance from someone truly skilled.
[Year 36, age 60.]
[Extracting trait...]
[Triggered "The Older, The Luckier" effect!]
[Extraction successful!]
["Crossdressing Master" (Purple Epic): When you fight in female attire, you passively exude a special charm. Enemies will be severely disrupted by violent nausea and eye-burning pain. If combined with the "Seven Captures of Meng Huo" trait, enemies will be captivated by your beauty — unable to tell male from female — and will fervently pursue you.]
[Adjust traits?]
[Yes / No]
"What the hell..."
After waiting all the way to his sixtieth year to finally use "The Older, The Luckier" to guarantee a rare trait, the first thing he got was this.
At first glance, an Epic trait got Chen Yi excited.
Then he read the description and deflated.
Against high-realm cultivators, this probably wouldn't work at all. Their minds were too firm — "vomiting" and "eye-burning" definitely wouldn't take effect.
Still, an Epic trait couldn't possibly be a conceptual-level power either.
[You replaced "Bad News in the Martial World" with "Dragonbane."]
[You replaced "The Older, The Luckier" with "Reverse Engineering."]
[You replaced "Martin's Morning" with "Trait Slingshot."]
[You left the cave where you'd lived for over a decade.]
[You packed up the Source Stones and cultivation resources accumulated over the years into your storage pouch.]
[You had already learned the locations of the three great sects on Firelight Star. You planned to go to the Dragonflame Sect to seek apprenticeship and ask about breaking through the Core Formation stage.]
[Yes, that's the sect led by the Dragonfolk.]
[Nothing to be done — you know the Dragonfolk best, and with "Dragonbane" in hand, it'd be a waste not to go to their sect.]
[At a nearby cultivator's market, you spent a sum of Source Stones to buy a Yellow Thunder Hawk.]
[This was a spirit beast. With a wingspan of seven or eight meters and feathers colored like yellow lightning bolts, it earned its name.]
[The bird flew extremely fast — a hundred kilometers per square of meat — so cultivators often used them as mounts for travel.]
[In the Material Realm, not to mention flying, even walking felt more exhausting than in the Void Realm.]
[The Dragonflame Sect was quite a distance from your current location, so a mount was necessary.]
[Sitting on the Yellow Thunder Hawk's back, the fierce wind blew until drool ran from your mouth.]
[You casually set up a barrier formation on the bird's back to block the wind, which made things more comfortable.]
[Look at the Yellow Thunder Hawk beneath you, you thought of Black Wind, the horse you bought for ten taels of silver back in the day.]
["Hey, bird bro, can you talk?"]
[The Yellow Thunder Hawk ignored you.]
["Were you born able to speak, with considerable intelligence, but the moment you opened your mouth you were treated as a freak, so you dared not speak?"]
[The Yellow Thunder Hawk ignored you.]
["Don't worry, I would never treat you as a freak. Let's become sworn brothers — I'll be the elder, you the younger. Blood brothers!""]
[The Yellow Thunder Hawk ignored you and dropped a pile of bird droppings.]
[You rolled your eyes. It seemed even maxed-out luck couldn't land that Black Wind situation every time.]
[Year 37, age 61.]
[You possess the innate talent of a Dragonfolk bloodline, so you can use the Mimicry ability from "Calamity of Ten Thousand Races" to transform your appearance into that of the Dragonfolk.]
[Now, you have arrived at the foot of the Heaven Demon Sect's mountain gate.]
["Ah! So this is the sovereign sect of us Dragon-Human folk! Truly majestic and imposing!"]
[Your acting remains top-notch, though slightly over the top.]

Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression.
