[An extremely compatible Bond has been discovered]
[Automatic Bonding begins]
[Your soul is being bound to "Lin Mei'er"]
Lin Shuhan stared at the screen in indifferent curiosity. It was hard for anything to affect him mentally, but this time, it did!
But he didn't have a lot of time to be curious.
An electrifying sensation tickled through his skin.
His mother, surprised and seeming to have noticed something strange in the air, took Lin Mei'er and moved her beside her brother.
"What a strong aura of attraction!" She exclaimed. "What is going on?!"
The siblings simultaneously ignored her and held each other's hands, feeling a warm energy pass between them.
"Ohhhh…." Lin Mei'er made a highly curious sound.
Then, became silent.
A connection settled deep within them.
Lin Shuhan's gaze fell on the system.
[You have successfully bound yourself with "Lin Mei'er"]
[You will receive all of her cultivation gains as your own from now on]
[Current Gain Amplification: 2x]
Lin Mei'er was born without much rationality, so she had never been able to cultivate even to the lowest level.
And Lin Shuhan was born without the least interest or emotion towards anything in the world, so he too had never cultivated one bit.
Their mother had tried plenty of times to get the siblings into cultivating forcefully. But it was useless. Cultivation was a path that one must tread on by themselves. It cannot be forced if the mind was unwilling.
As he stared at the bond, Lin Shuhan's lips twitched.
Indeed, he had bonded with his sister.
He felt happy, but his rationality overwhelmed the little emotions he could feel for now.
Now, he would recieve all her cultivation growth into 2x. But so what?
She couldn't cultivate at all!
Without cultivation gains, wasn't this bond useless?!
Wasn't his golden eyed sister just a beautiful—
His expression changed.
Why was his sister's eyes so golden?
Yes, her blue eyes had changed to resemble brilliant gold. When? Why? How?
She was a sight for the eyes—as beautiful as ever. Fairest of all fair skins, darkest of all dark hair. Curly, beautiful.
With eyes now golden as well.
For a second, Lin Shuhan almost felt emotion.
His sister shouldn't suffer! What was going on?!
What had changed her eyes?
Due to the bond, though, he discovered the reasin very quickly.
Just like his own silver system, a system had also appeared on his sister.
But unlike his own—hers was not silver, but a brilliant gold.
On the other hand, his mother exclaimed softly from the side.
"Golden eyes!" she muttered. "Golden eye transformation!"
"What is it, mother?" he asked.
She hesitated in disbelief for a second, then explained.
"When a person with a Golden Divine Skill is born, their eyes, blood, and even bones would become golden in color. And they will become as pretty as goddesses if they are a woman, and as handsome as a god if they are men!"
She was visibly shaken.
"Is it that shocking?" He asked.
"Of course it is!! There are only three Golden Divine Skills currently in existence, and they are the Three Suns of the Heartland. They are the absolute strongest skills that gave birth to the absolute strongest cultivators!"
Lin Shuhan turned and looked at his sister, capable of seeing her Golden system even by himself.
He tried letting go of his sister's hand, and the system suddenly vanished from his view.
So… he can only see the system when in contact with her?
That must be the effect of their bond.
For him, this was just a rational testing but him letting go made the girl extremely anxious.
She became teary-eyed, glancing at the golden screen in fear as she clung to her brother.
This was all so new to her!!
Patting her head to comfort her, he looked at her system.
[Skill Genesis successful]
[Immortal Lotus Skill Awakened]
[You can communicate with Heaven and Earth and make trades with it using Luck, Karma, and Dharma as currency.]
'Wow, it's such a complicated skill…' He thought. 'No way my Mei'er is going to be able to use any of it much. It needs far too much thinking.'
Thinking that, he let go of her hand to think—
That made the girl immediately panic.
He smiled, moving to pat her head again. But as he was about to say something, though, he froze. His hand moved without his control and once again held onto his sister.
And then, a chain appeared around their hand, golden and supple but impossible to break.
Stunned, he looked at her.
She smiled innocently, looking at him with big golden eyes.
At first, he wondered whether this chain was part of their 'Bonding,' but immediately, he figured otherwise.
No.
Damn.
His sister had just made a bond with Heaven and Earth—and the first thing she asked for was to never let her brother go.
What if she couldn't think?
She would use her instincts to trade with heaven and earth!
"Dumb girl, I wouldn't go anyway. Why did you spend precious Luck, Karma, or Dharma to get what you already have?"
She looked so wan now, her energy seemingly having been drained.
"Shuhan… can you explain what's all going on?" His mother asked.
"Mom, you won't believe me!" He said in exasperation.
…
Shuhan explained everything to his mother, and she was also filled with shock. How powerful was this skill of his sister?
She could trade for anything with Heaven and Earth with Luck, Karma, and Dharma?
Those three words weren't foreign to Lin Hualan. She knew some things about it.
For example, one could increase one's luck using money. Or even Karma can be accrued using money—as long as you do a lot of good and create a reputation, you can accrue good karma with a lot of people. As for dharma, it was something related to doing things that accrued good karma.
If she had enough of it, can't she just wish for a higher level of cultivation?
But there must be limits to this. Even just that chain must have cost a lot of the currencies.
Or was it just a god broken ability?
"Look, Mom," Shuhan said. "Mei'er's eyes are no longer as golden as it was. It's just dull gold now."
That was true.
She looked a lot wanner, too.
Shuhan, curious, turned to look at his own system next.
Would he be able to gain his sister's Golden Divine Skill through the bond? Or was that not considered a cultivation gain?
As he thought, there was no notification in the system.
His mother moved and planted a hand on her daughter's shoulder, sending in warm Qi. "This is 100% of the energy I absorbed earlier from that Otherworldly monster; it should be enough to heal her."
If used for cultivation herself, a Golden Core-level Dragon's energy was somewhat helpful to his mother. But when using it for healing others, it could only heal minor ailments because Lin Hualan was not a healer.
Just as the Qi entered the girl's body though, Shuhan also felt a warm energy enter him out of nowhere.
But for him, it was double the quantity that entered his sister.
[Minor Healing x2 Received]
[Minor Healing becoming Intermediate Healing]
As the Intermediate Level Healing went through his body, he felt his entire body thrive with energy.
This was something even their mother could not do for her children by herself!
