Chapter 1: My Family Has a Daughter Named De Hua

Yue Country, Yan Family Fortress.

"How did you wet the bed again?"

As the young girl Yan Yun looked at the adorable, finely sculpted little baby with a sweet smile in the crib and prepared to pick him up with full joy, a wet, sticky sensation "swished" across her, causing her smile to freeze on her beautiful, rosy cheeks.

"Honestly, how did you wet it again."

Yan Yun muttered to herself with a face full of resentment, yet she performed the series of tasks—replacing the dried clothes, diapers, and so on—with extreme proficiency.

"Brother, Sister-in-law, please come back soon!"

After the time it takes to eat a meal, having finished tidying everything up, the young girl Yan Yun's small face showed signs of fatigue. She plopped down onto the chair by the window, propped her small face up with both hands, and gazed out the window, her watery eyes filled with anticipation.

She completely failed to notice that the little baby in the crib, who should have been fast asleep, was currently staring at the ceiling with resentful, speechless eyes.

But in reality, the baby was looking at the Cultivation Simulation Panel before him.

Host: Yan Taibai.

Gender: Male.

Age: Half a year.

Realm: None.

Form: Infancy.

Progress toward first simulation: 【Wet the bed 100 times, completion 80 times】.

That's right, Yan Taibai is a transmigrator.

And this essential golden finger for transmigration is the cultivation simulation panel before his eyes.

Because the first thing he did upon transmigrating was wet the bed, the requirement for the first simulation was to wet the bed one hundred times.

While this left Yan Taibai speechless, he had no choice but to endure the shame and wet the bed eighty times.

And this dark history is known only to the young girl who has been taking care of him during this time.

Unfortunately, hindered by his lack of strength, he is unable to "silence the witness."

The young girl's surname is Yan, her given name is Yun, and her courtesy name is De Hua.

Of course, this "De Hua" was added to the girl by Yan Taibai himself.

From this, one can tell that Yan Taibai's parents handed him over to the girl to be cared for.

And the girl has been taking care of him quite well!

At the same time, from the girl's occasional muttering to herself or conversations with others, he learned that he is in a world of cultivators.

To cultivate, one must have a Spirit Root, and his Spirit Root has not yet been tested; he needs to wait until he is three years old to be tested in person by the elders of the Yan Family where he currently resides.

And these elders are Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators; as for his parents, they are only Qi Refining Stage cultivators, and their status in the family is not high, only slightly higher than mortals without any Spirit Root.

Therefore, as soon as Yan Taibai was born, his parents were called away by a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Yan Family to carry out a family mission, forcing them to leave him in the care of his aunt, Yan Yun.

Of course, Yan Yun is not old herself, yet she has taken quite good care of him; at the same time, she is also a Qi Refining Stage cultivator.

Although his parents' status is not high, they are, after all, cultivators of the Yan Family, so they still have an independent courtyard and a shop that can earn the Spirit Stones needed for daily life.

For a cultivator, this is the most important thing.

Wealth, Companion, Method, Land—the most important thing for cultivation is wealth, which is to say, cultivation resources, Spirit Stones, and medicinal pills; these are things that must never be lacking.

The baby's sleepiness soon arrived; after Yan Taibai retracted his Cultivation Simulation Panel, a flood of drowsiness washed over him, engulfing his thoughts completely.

And what woke him up was a scream from the young girl!

"You wet the bed again, and you pooped too!"

Hmm! Task progress +1!

Then, he began to enjoy the gentle service from the young girl again; unfortunately, he was willing but unable to act!

Time flew by, and before he knew it, intentionally or unintentionally, Yan Taibai finally completed the simulation task: 【Wet the bed one hundred times】.

Host: Yan Taibai.

Gender: Male.

Age: Half a year.

Realm: None.

Form: Infancy.

Progress toward first simulation: 【Wet the bed 100 times, completion 100 times】.

【Do you wish to simulate your cultivation life!】

"Yes!"

Yan Taibai thought silently, full of anticipation.

The next moment, the text on the panel before his eyes changed: Four-Attribute Spirit Root, Qi Refining at age three, failed to reach Foundation Establishment by age one hundred, lifespan exhausted, passed away!

"That's it!"

Looking at his bleak and plain life, Yan Taibai said speechlessly in his heart.

However, it still allowed him to summarize some useful information.

He has a Four-Attribute Spirit Root; if there are no surprises, he will be stuck at the Qi Refining Stage for his entire life, with no chance for Foundation Establishment.

But being able to live to one hundred is still better than most Qi Refining Stage cultivators; at least it counts as dying of old age.

However, he also obtained other information, which is the Four-Attribute Spirit Root.

If there are no surprises, the more attributes a Spirit Root has, the worse the aptitude, exactly the same as in "Mortal's Journey to Immortality" that he read in his previous life.

"Could it be that I transmigrated into 'Mortal's Journey to Immortality'?"

Yan Taibai couldn't help but mutter and speculate in his heart.

After all, in Yan Yun's conversations with others, he had occasionally heard: Yue Country.

Added to the Four-Attribute Spirit Root, the Yan Family, and the Yan Family Fortress, it really is possible.

Just as Yan Taibai was pondering whether he had transmigrated into *Mortal's Journey to Immortality* or if it was just a coincidence.

The text on the panel changed once again: Reward: Metal Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root.

As soon as this sentence appeared, Yan Taibai's delicate, doll-like little face glowed with radiance, and his large eyes shone like two pieces of obsidian, making it impossible for anyone to look away.

Fortunately, Yan Yun was currently busy managing the business at the shop in front of the courtyard and had no time to attend to him; otherwise, she would definitely have picked him up and kissed him over and over again.

Judging from the fact that his previous Four-Attribute Spirit Root could not reach Foundation Establishment, this Metal Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root aptitude went without saying; it was naturally a top-tier existence in this world of cultivation.

Especially if it were in the world of *Mortal's Journey to Immortality*.

A single-attribute Spirit Root is known as a Heavenly Spirit Root.

Just as Yan Taibai was fantasizing about leaving everyone in the dust on his future path of cultivation—Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Severing, and Ascension—a warm current surged within his body, as if something was about to grow out.

Then, he felt something wet!

Hmm, he had wet the bed again!

"Don't tell me I have to wet the bed another hundred times!"

Yan Taibai's vision went black, and he wailed loudly.

He did not want to experience this kind of dark history ever again.

But he could be certain that he now possessed the Metal Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Hearing his cries, the young girl De Hua—no, Yan Yun—rushed over at top speed.

"You wet the bed again!"

Upon walking up and looking down, the young girl's beautiful face was filled with helplessness, and she then skillfully cleaned up everything for Yan Taibai as she always did, though her little mouth was murmuring to herself.

"Brother, Sister-in-law, please come back soon; I really can't handle this little guy anymore."

The young girl loved beauty and cleanliness, but Yan Taibai's existence made her almost completely unable to have either of those things.

Regarding this, Yan Taibai also felt deeply guilty and intended to make it up to his aunt, Yan Yun, in the future.

He just didn't know what his aunt's aptitude was like.

And since he now knew about his Spirit Root, he had to prepare to cultivate.

He believed that in the entire cultivation world, there was no one who started cultivating as an infant.

After all, infants couldn't even control their own eating, drinking, and excreting, and required others to take care of them; how could they possibly learn cultivation techniques?

In the Yan Family, one at least needed to have their Spirit Root checked and wait until they had learned cultivation knowledge and characters before being taught cultivation techniques.

Therefore, the first step to cultivation: learning to read.
