Ye Chen, armed with the system, begins his new life by manipulating Lin Ke'er. He gives her ten Qi Gathering Pills, triggering a tenfold return and a critical hit that grants him perfect First Grade Alchemy knowledge. This single act transforms his fortunes. He immediately uses his new skill to refine high-grade pills, accelerating his cultivation and exposing a sabotage plot by the shop manager, Zhang. The manager has been providing faulty ingredients to ensure Ye Chen fails, a scheme to eliminate him from competition for a spot in the Green Cloud Sect. Ye Chen, now aware of the treachery, plays along, buying cheap pills to complete his tasks while secretly stockpiling his own superior products. The system’s reward has given him the power to fight back, turning him from a victim into a schemer who uses his "simping" as a cover for his true ambition.

Ye Chen’s strategy deepens as he targets Lu Jing, a voluptuous talisman apprentice and Lin Ke'er's rival. He gifts her the Dragon Elephant Fist, a martial art his father gave him, triggering a tenfold return that grants him the superior Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique and a day of guidance from its founding master. This critical hit not only boosts his physical strength but also provides a priceless mentorship. The gift also causes a massive emotional reaction in Lu Jing, securing her loyalty. Meanwhile, Lin Ke'er, who left for a herb-gathering trip, returns to find her "simp" has been stolen. The ensuing rivalry between the two women fuels Ye Chen’s resource stream. He masterfully plays them against each other, extracting maximum value from each gift while maintaining his own cultivation. This milestone showcases his transition from a reactive simp to a proactive investor, using the system to manipulate the emotional and resource economies of those around him.

The fragile peace of Silver Moon Market shatters when the Mo family's ancestor, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, is revealed to be on the verge of death. Rogue cultivators and demon beasts attack, plunging the market into chaos. Ye Chen, having sensed the danger, uses the system to acquire a top-tier flying ship by gifting a low-grade one to Sun Ruoxin. He escapes the carnage with Lu Jing and Lin Ke'er, but not before witnessing the brutal reality of the cultivation world. His father, Ye Tianhe, is killed by rogue cultivators, a loss that fuels his desire for power. He also learns the truth: he is not a true member of the Ye family, his father was an outsider. This revelation severs his last emotional ties to his past. He arrives at Green Cloud City, a direct disciple of the Sword Peak Master, Gu Yunyun, a 100x reward target. The milestone marks his complete rebirth, leaving behind his old identity and entering a new, more dangerous arena.

Ye Chen becomes the direct disciple of Gu Yunyun, the Sword Peak Master, a stunningly beautiful and powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator with a 100x reward multiplier. However, his master is cold and indifferent, disappointed by his poor talent and his reputation as a "simp." Ye Chen must win her favor to unlock her immense potential. He immediately shifts his focus, using his system to court Yao Xi, a 30x reward senior sister, to build his strength and resources. He gives her the Five Elements Cave token, a priceless opportunity, triggering a critical hit that grants him the recipe for the Five Elements Pill, a legendary pill that can expand a cultivator's dantian. This allows him to bypass the sect's limited resources and accelerate his own cultivation. The milestone establishes his new goal: to become strong enough to earn his master's respect and unlock the ultimate 100x reward, while navigating the complex social hierarchy of the sect.
