He's a minor cannon fodder character who transmigrates into a novel and cultivates immortality,

Xiao Xuan stood up, reached out and picked up Wang Mang's clothes that were on the ground, shook off the dirt on them and folded them neatly.

As soon as he turned around, his eyes met those of Wang Mang, who had entered the cave to look for him.

Wang Mang looked at Xiao Xuan in front of him, whose black hair had turned white overnight, and whose eyebrows and eyelashes had also turned snow-white.

Disbelief, guilt, and heartache flashed in his eyes. His body stiffened, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

He had also heard stories of ordinary people experiencing unbearable pain and turning their hair white overnight.

Previously, he thought it was just an exaggeration by ordinary people.

Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, Wang Mang was deeply shaken.

He moved his lips, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to start, and couldn't open his mouth.

Xiao Xuan looked bewildered: "Little Liu, what's wrong with this big oaf? Why does he look so terrified?"

System 006 exclaimed in delight, "He must have been stunned by the host's breathtaking beauty."

Xiao Xuan was somewhat skeptical. "Really?"

System 006: "Of course, of course."

"The host is the most beautiful person in the world."

Xiao Xuan didn't believe System 006's flattery, but he didn't ask any more questions.

He handed the folded clothes to Wang Mang and then walked towards the cave exit.

Wang Mang, feeling dizzy, took the clothes, put them on, and then walked out of the cave.

Xiao Xuan gestured for Wang Mang to lead the way. Wang Mang looked at Xiao Xuan, hesitated, and finally lowered his head and walked ahead.

Xiao Xuan followed behind him with a leisurely pace.

System 006's excited voice rang out, "Host, host, good news, good news!"

"When I awakened my sacred body last night, my bloodline reverted to its ancestral state, and I awakened my innate abilities."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan was overjoyed. "What kind of talent or ability?"

System 006: "Reverse Word Spirit Talent".

Xiao Xuan asked somewhat uncertainly, "The talent of Reverse Words?"

System 006: "Yes."

Xiao Xuan: "Shouldn't members of the Xiao family bloodline awaken their talent for using words?"

"How come it's become a rebellious spirit when it comes to me?"

System 006 said somewhat dejectedly, "I'm sorry, host, 006 didn't know."

Xiao Xuan: "Fine, let it be. Having talent is better than having none."

System 006's weak voice sounded, "Host, there's some less-than-good news."

Xiao Xuan: "Hmm, go ahead and speak."

System 006: "The host was silenced for three years while gaining the talent of Reverse Words."

"In other words, the host will be unable to speak for the next three years."

Xiao Xuan: "Anything else?"

System 006 asked somewhat uncertainly, "There isn't any...right?"

Xiao Xuan thought for a moment and silently asked himself, "After awakening the Reverse Word Spirit talent, if I don't speak and instead write, will it be affected?"

System 006: "No, as long as you don't speak, the Reverse Word Spirit talent won't be activated."

"The host can communicate with people using pen and ink."

Xiao Xuan: "That's good. In that case, it won't have any impact."

Anyway, he rarely speaks, so not being able to speak doesn't have much of an impact on him.

"When you absolutely need to convey a message, use pen and ink," Xiao Xuan thought to himself.

After half a day, Wang Mang and Xiao Xuan finally arrived at the foot of the Crimson Cloud Sect's mountain gate.

Xiao Xuan was so hungry he could barely walk, while Wang Mang, who had long since abstained from grains, was unaware of the boy's condition.

Xiao Xuan glanced at the seemingly endless ladder to heaven, pursed his lips, and reached out to grab Wang Mang's sleeve.
