Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I’m dying Before I Got Cheats

Chapter 2: A Hundred Missions

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After a while, Jiang Chengxuan more or less understood the function of his achievement system.

Simply put, this was a system that would issue missions for him to achieve at irregular intervals.

As long as he can complete the mission issued by the system, he can obtain the corresponding system reward.

His next mission was to attempt to break through a hundred times.

With every attempt, one point would be added to the progress of the mission.

However, the problem was that if he succeeded in breaking through the cultivation bottleneck, it would be great, but if he failed, it would more or less cause some damage to his body.

It would take a lot of time to repair it.

If the damage was especially serious, he even needed to take healing pills to repair it.

Luckily, it was a small bottleneck.

If it was a big bottleneck, such as breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm and the Violet Palace Realm,

Once he failed, he would not just suffer some minor damage.

In the worst scenario, he might die.

Throughout history, many cultivators had died because of this.

Fortunately, his cultivation was still at the eighth level of Qi Refinement.

If he failed to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refinement during the attempts, the price was still within his ability to bear.

Most importantly, the system seemed to have included his past attempts.

Therefore, although he had not done anything yet, the progress of this mission had already reached 34%.

In other words, he only needed to attempt to break through 66 more times to complete this mission.

However, the problem was that there was no need to break through so many times in order to reach the ninth level.

No matter how poor his talent was, as long as he was willing to spend time and effort, he could successfully break through within six attempts.

No matter what, ten times should be enough, right?

However, that was the problem.

What about the remaining 50 or so attempts?

He couldn’t wait until he reached the ninth level of Qi refinement to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm, right?

That would kill him.

At least as far Jiang Chengxuan knew, he had never heard of anyone who could survive after failing to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

Unless you had a Foundation Establishment Pill that Qi Refinement cultivators dreamed of.

Not only could the pill increase your chances of reaching the Foundation Establishment realm by 50%, but it could also protect your meridians and prevent you from vanishing even if you failed.

At most, they would lose some vitality. They only needed to recuperate for a few days to recover.

However, how could an extremely precious pill like the Foundation Establishment Pill be easily obtained by a mere Qi Refinement cultivator like him?

Therefore.

According to Jiang Chengxuan’s current situation, if he wanted to complete the mission issued by the system, he had to do it before he broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refinement.

Otherwise, he might not be able to complete this mission forever.

At the thought of this, Jiang Chengxuan went to his bedroom and sat cross-legged.

He found a comfortable position and slowly circulated the Origin Returning Technique he was currently cultivating.

This was also a very common cultivation technique.

It could be said to be ordinary and nothing special.

The only thing worth mentioning was that the initiation of this cultivation technique was very simple. No matter what kind of spiritual roots or aptitude one had, they could cultivate this cultivation technique without any repulsion to the attributes of their spiritual root.

At this moment.

Jiang Chengxuan had already circulated the Origin Returning Technique for a few cycles.

At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan suddenly began to gently circulate his True Essence, giving the bottleneck of the ninth level of Qi Refinement a gentle attempt.

It was really just a gentle one.

It was not even a tenth of his full strength.

As expected, the bottleneck was still there.

As for Jiang Chengxuan, he only suffered a small backlash.

There was a faint pain in a few meridians.

However, he only needed to recuperate for a day or two to completely recover from such an injury.

This was not the point. The point was the attempt number.

The number in front of his retina changed from 34% to 35%.

It really worked!

Jiang Chengxuan suddenly felt excited.

It seemed that his previous guess was right.

The system only cared about the attempt number. It did not care if one was going all out to break through or not.

As long as you made an attempt, it was fine.

This was really great!

In this way, he could use this bug to complete the next 65 attempts.

Yes, although that would cause some damage to his meridians.

However, as long as he recuperated well and lengthened the interval of the attempt, there shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

Just like that, for the next year, Jiang Chengxuan stayed in his mansion.

Every five days, he would make an attempt to break through the bottleneck to the ninth level of Qi Refinement.

This was also the most suitable interval he found after summarizing the previous attempts.

Five days was not too long, and the impact on his recovery was almost zero.

Ding!

At this moment.

When Jiang Chengxuan saw that the progress of the mission in his retina had reached 100%, the long-lost system notification appeared in his mind again.

[Congratulations, host, for achieving a hundred breakthrough attempts. You are rewarded with a chance to successfully break through.]

One chance to successfully break through?

What the f*ck!

Holy crap…

Jiang Chengxuan really did not expect to receive such a precious reward after completing the mission issued by the system.

Didn’t this mean that he could use this opportunity to successfully break through to the Foundation Establishment realm in one go?

If that was the case, he didn’t have to be a cultivator in the bottom of the cultivation society.

No matter what, Foundation Establishment cultivators were the backbone of many cultivation sects.

No matter where they went, they would be treated with respect.

Even if you were an independant cultivator, it was no exception.

Many cultivation families were supported by a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Now that he had hope of reaching that level, how could he not be excited?
