Great Jing Dynasty.
Cold Palace.
“By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor’s Edict states: Lu Jing, the eldest son of Martial King Lu Yunzhe, has blasphemed the Heavenly Countenance and possesses vile conduct.
Furthermore, it has been discovered that Prince Wu's Mansion colluded with rebels, intending to conspire against the throne, an unforgivable crime, for which the entire nine generations of their clan shall be exterminated!
However, His Majesty is benevolent, and considering Old Martial King's past military merits, and Prince Wu's willingness to surrender all family wealth to replenish the national treasury, Lu Jing is specially pardoned from death, preserving a trace of the Lu family's Bloodline.
But while the death penalty is waived, the living punishment cannot be avoided: Lu Jing shall be assigned to the Bureau of Eunuchs, to serve as a slave for life!” A distant voice echoed in Lu Jing’s mind.
“Emperor! You vile woman, you all deserve to die!” Under intense hatred, Lu Jing, who had been drowsily unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes and cursed instinctively.
Suddenly, he paused, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings with a bewildered expression.
Red timber beams.
Paper windows letting in sunlight.
A retro-style screen.
All of this indicated that the place Lu Jing was in did not resemble a modern city.
“Where… is this?”
As he murmured, a surge of memories flooded into his mind.
Soon, Lu Jing understood.
He had Transmigrated!
Moreover, the person he Transmigrated into was a eunuch in an ancient palace!
The country he was currently in was called the Great Jing Dynasty!
“Damn it, this is too tragic.”
After receiving all the information in his head, Lu Jing’s face was extremely grim.
When others Transmigrate, they become either a ruler of a country, a Saint of a Holy Land, or a scion of a great clan.
At the very least, they become a complete man.
But he had become a eunuch!
Furthermore, Lu Jing also discovered the previous owner’s experiences.
Quite miserable!
The previous owner was originally the eldest son of the Great Jing Dynasty’s Prince Wu, a Prince of a different surname, and his name was also Lu Jing.
Lu Jing’s Old Ancestor, Old Martial King, was once a great founding hero of Great Jing, and his martial prowess had reached one of the pinnacles of the Martial Dao. He followed the founding Emperor in conquering the world, and was sworn brothers with him. More than half of Great Jing’s territory was conquered by Prince Wu.
After Great Jing was established, the Old Ancestor was enfeoffed as Martial King, suppressing the world, and was the most revered person in all of Great Jing, second only to the founding Emperor.
However, this was already 500 years ago.
The Prince Wu's Mansion had declined. The previous owner, during an outing of the Empress, saw her beauty and made a few teasing remarks and compliments about her appearance to those beside him.
After being overheard and reported by the Empress’s secret guards, he was directly accused, under a fabricated pretext, of Prince Wu's Mansion colluding with rebels and attempting to conspire against the throne, and then his entire nine generations of clan were exterminated!
Only he remained, and after being castrated, he was sent into the palace to become a eunuch.
From a royal scion, the future heir to the Martial King, he was reduced to a palace eunuch.
This was a punishment more painful than directly killing him!
What the Empress and Emperor did was truly vicious!
“This Transmigration is too much of a loss.”
Lu Jing sighed.
If it were just an ordinary person unable to survive and choosing to become a eunuch, that might be barely acceptable.
But the previous owner, having been pampered, simply couldn't adapt to the arduous work in the Cold Palace.
The reason he was able to Transmigrate was because the previous owner lived in daily fear, not only lacking food and warmth, but also being bullied upon arrival, and having to do three or four times more work than other eunuchs, which ultimately exhausted him to death.
He fell asleep last night and never woke up, thus benefiting him!
No.
This didn't benefit Lu Jing either.
Rather, it was punishing him!
After all, Transmigrating into a eunuch.
By no means was it a good thing.
“System?” Lu Jing suddenly murmured.
No Transmigration without a System.
He understood this principle.
However, after Lu Jing spoke, the air remained silent.
“No System?”
Lu Jing felt a chill in his heart.
With a System, everything would be easy.
But without a System, he would truly be doomed.
Just as Lu Jing was feeling disheartened, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind:
“Ding! The Luck Plunder System is at your service!”
Hearing the voice, Lu Jing was overjoyed!
The System had arrived!
“System, introduce yourself!”
“Host, you only need to destroy the enemy’s Luck to plunder their Luck, thereby obtaining Luck Value, which can be used for lotteries to gain rewards!”
“Destroying the enemy’s Luck includes creating trouble for the enemy, causing their affiliated forces to decline, and so on!”
“In short, as long as you make the Host’s enemies’ lives difficult and go against them, you can plunder their Luck and convert it into Luck Value, which can be used for lotteries to obtain rewards!”
“The higher the enemy’s status, and the stronger their Luck, the more Luck Value you can plunder from them accordingly!”
“The System will perform a daily settlement after you wake up, settling the Luck Value you obtained the previous day!”
“Plundering Luck? Interesting!”
Lu Jing finished listening to the System’s introduction and grinned.
But then he thought of his physical condition and felt a bit deflated.
He asked, “By the way, System, you should be aware of my body’s condition. Is there any way to restore it? Otherwise, living is meaningless!”
“Host, don’t worry. With the System, are you still afraid of such a small problem? Check yourself.”
As soon as the System finished speaking, Lu Jing felt an unusual sensation in his body.
Heavy!
“Hmm?” Lu Jing was ecstatic.
He could feel that his body had been restored!
He looked down.
“Oh my goodness, System products are always top-notch! This confidence is overwhelming.” He exclaimed, feeling very satisfied.
With this size, which woman wouldn't be captivated?
“The defect has been remedied for the Host. Additionally, the System has issued a Newbie Gift Pack. You can view it by opening your personal panel.”
Lu Jing nodded and opened his personal panel.
“Host: Lu Jing”
“Age: 20”
“Cultivation Technique: None”
“Cultivation: None”
“Items: Peiyuan Pill * 1, Bewitching Incense * 2”
“Peiyuan Pill? Bewitching Incense?” Lu Jing’s eyes lit up when he saw the items in the inventory.
There were descriptions after the items: after consuming the Peiyuan Pill, one could instantly gain ten years of Martial Dao Cultivation.
The Bewitching Incense could cause hallucinations; one only needed to light it and wait for half a quarter of an hour for anyone who smelled the incense to fall into a hallucination created by the user, while the user would be immune to the hallucinatory effects.
“This Bewitching Incense is interesting; it can actually cause hallucinations…”
Lu Jing’s eyes lit up when he saw the effect of the Bewitching Incense.
This Bewitching Incense was definitely a good item!
“The Peiyuan Pill is also good. Taking one pill can actually give the user ten years of Martial Dao Cultivation. Let’s take it first.”
This world was not an ordinary ancient world, but one with terrifying Martial Artists.
Powerful Martial Artists could move mountains and cleave seas, terrifyingly strong. Lu Jing’s Old Ancestor, Old Martial King, was an extremely powerful Martial Artist.
However, Lu Jing’s previous self was just a profligate son who only knew how to enjoy life and couldn't endure the hardships of practicing martial arts. Therefore, he had never touched any Martial Dao Cultivation.
With a thought, a Medicinal Pill appeared in Lu Jing’s hand.
He swallowed the Medicinal Pill.
Lu Jing only felt a crackling sound from his body. His height instantly increased a bit, and his original scrawny physique immediately gained an eight-pack, becoming robust.
Additionally, a warm current flowed through Lu Jing’s body, instantly making his Qi and blood surge and his strength greatly increase.
Lu Jing felt that he could now kill a tiger or leopard with a single punch!
Subsequently, Lu Jing brought up his personal panel again.
“Host: Lu Jing”
“Age: 20”
“Cultivation Technique: None”
“Cultivation: Fifth-Rank Martial Artist”
“Items: Bewitching Incense * 2”
“Is this a Fifth-Rank Martial Artist?” Lu Jing felt the Qi within his body and exclaimed in surprise.
The ranks of Martial Artists, from low to high, are divided into: Ninth Rank, Eighth Rank… First Rank, Innate Realm, Grandmaster Realm…
Lu Jing’s current Fifth-Rank Cultivation, while not necessarily powerful, at least made him a figure in a small place.
Some Martial Artists with poor root bones and insufficient resources would never reach this level in their lifetime!
Of course, in the Great Jing Imperial City, where strong individuals gathered, a Fifth-Rank Martial Artist could only barely be considered a mid-tier Martial Artist.
However, with Lu Jing’s current strength, he now had some self-preservation ability within this deep palace.
At least those ordinary eunuchs and palace maids could no longer bully him!
“Indeed, with the System, one’s circumstances will be vastly different!”
Lu Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
“To plunder the enemy’s Luck, I need to first destroy their Luck…”
Lu Jing suddenly remembered the System’s requirement.
Currently, who else could be called his enemies besides that Emperor and the Empress?
Thinking of the Emperor, Lu Jing gnashed his teeth in anger.
His previous self originally had a noble and wonderful life as a profligate son, able to happily muddle through life, but now it was all ruined by the Emperor and that venomous Empress.
His young sister, only six years old, so small and so cute.
She cried hysterically when the soldiers dragged her away, screaming for her brother to save her, but he was powerless. Now, her body is probably discarded in some mass grave.
His parents, who loved him so dearly, were all dead now.
His other close relatives and friends were also thrown into prison and died because of his involvement.
Although these were only the previous owner’s relatives, Lu Jing had received the previous owner’s memories, so this was also his experience.
Therefore, he harbored endless hatred for the Emperor and the Empress.
Emperor, you wretched woman, just you wait, you’ll suffer later!
Lu Jing thought bitterly in his heart.
“However, let alone the Emperor, even the Empress, with my current ability, I have no opportunity to cause them trouble.”
Lu Jing frowned.
Plundering Luck requires destroying the enemy’s Luck and causing them trouble.
It was already good enough that he could survive in this Cold Palace; how could he possibly cause trouble for the high-ranking Emperor and Empress?
“Cold Palace…”
Suddenly, Lu Jing seemed to think of something and excitedly asked, “System, putting a cuckold on an enemy, would that also count as a way to destroy their Luck?”
