Chapter 5 - The First Acquisition of Creation Energy

Chapter 5: The First Acquisition of Creation Energy

The Bai Estate.

Bai Chen pushed open the door and stepped outside.

“Young Master!”

Standing just outside, Li Fu greeted him respectfully. Having watched Bai Chen grow up, Li Fu regarded him as family—his most cherished person, despite his role as a servant. Childless in his old age, Li Fu’s devotion to Bai Chen was unwavering, yet his demeanour remained humble and dutiful.

[Li Fu (李福, Lǐ Fú): “Fu” means fortune or blessings, reflecting his loyal and caring nature.].

Every command from Bai Chen, no matter the cost, was carried out without hesitation.

“Uncle Fu,” Bai Chen said with a smile, “gather everyone in the estate.”

“Yes, Young Master!” Without a moment’s thought, Li Fu bowed and left to fulfil the order.

As Li Fu disappeared into the distance, Bai Chen’s lips curled upward. “Let’s give this a try,” he murmured to himself.

After his conversation with the system, Bai Chen had formed a grand vision. Achieving it, however, required an almost inconceivable amount of Creation Energy. This realisation sparked an insatiable hunger within him, driving him to use every opportunity to accumulate it. The servants of the Bai Estate would be his first step.

“What’s this about?”

“Why would the Young Master summon us?”

“Who knows what’s in his mind? Maybe someone angered him.”

In the estate’s courtyard, over 30 figures had gathered. These were the Bai family’s servants, each visibly curious and apprehensive.

For years, the Bai Estate’s servants had fantasized about learning martial arts, only to be denied the chance. Now, Bai Chen’s decision offered them a glimmer of hope.

“The Great Demon-Subduing Art, Sorrowful Wind Palm, Grass on the Wind...”

“These are excellent techniques!”

[The Great Demon-Subduing Art (大伏魔功, Dà Fú Mó Gōng), Sorrowful Wind Palm (悲风掌, Bēi Fēng Zhǎng), Grass on the Wind (草上飞, Cǎo Shàng Fēi): Fictional martial arts techniques, likely reflecting their poetic and descriptive names.].

Li Fu leafed through the manuals, his expression one of shock and admiration. Unlike the other servants, Li Fu was already a martial artist, albeit at the peak of the Xiantian (先天) stage. Though not exceptionally powerful, his experience allowed him to recognize the manuals’ quality.

For Li Fu, Bai Chen’s generosity toward the servants was beyond measure.

Host has altered Li Fu’s destiny: +5 Creation Energy.

Host has altered Liu Lao’er’s destiny: +1 Creation Energy.

Host has altered Wang Guifen’s destiny: +1 Creation Energy.

Returning to his room, Bai Chen heard a series of notifications in his mind. Yet, instead of joy, his brow furrowed deeply.

“System!” Bai Chen’s voice carried a tinge of frustration. “Why is the Creation Energy so minimal?”

He had anticipated that providing martial arts training to his servants wouldn’t yield vast amounts of energy, but such paltry gains were disappointing. Aside from Li Fu, the contributions from the others were barely worth mentioning.

Host, the system explained, by distributing martial arts manuals, you’ve given the Bai Estate’s servants the opportunity to cultivate. However, this is only the beginning.

Since they have yet to achieve meaningful progress in martial arts, the Creation Energy generated is limited. Once they develop significant strength, the Host will receive far greater rewards.

Still, the Bai Estate’s servants are ordinary people. Unless they become top-tier martial artists, their potential contributions will remain modest.
