It was afternoon.
The sun shone brightly, sending waves of scorching heat down from above as the breeze gently blew the canopies of vibrant trees, rustling the leaves, carrying with it an earthy aroma.
Lin Jiangfeng, dressed in casual clothing, was sitting cross-legged above a massive stone at the mountain peak.
He was CULTIVATING!
Beside him was a boiling bronze cauldron, stewing with many unknown ingredients.
After borrowing 10 million Yuan from Yayoi the previous day, Lin Jiangfeng came to the open market, where Yayoi got the Jadite from stone gambling.
At the open market, he unexpectedly came across a precious 500 Years Old Blood Ginseng and some other much-needed herbs there. After spending almost everything, he has come to the mountain behind the school and resumed his cultivation.
"Haa..." Lin Jiangfeng let out a breath of turbid air, feeling satisfied with his progress.
"Today's gain's sufficient."
After absorbing the essence of the 500 Years Old Blood Ginseng, the state of Lin Jiangfeng's body has improved drastically. He was now several times stronger than when he fought with Elder Xu.
Moreover, the transformation of the Supreme Elemental Saint God's Method also met a breakthrough while his cultivation almost reached the culmination of the Initial-stage of the Body Refining Realm.
"Finally, the Body-refining Pills are about to take shape."
Lin Jiangfeng stopped cultivating and focused his attention on the medicinal cauldron.
In his previous life, not only was Lin Jiangfeng well known for his god-like martial prowess, but he was also equally skilled in the Dao of alchemy.
Countless cultivators preferred him as the Alchemy Emperor.
While attending to the cauldron, Lin Jiangfeng looked at the pile of charred black dreck not far away and shook his head with heartache.
Sometime earlier, when another patch of pills reached its critical point, Yayoi's repeated phone call diverted his attention resulting in all the ingredients being wasted.
If it were just ordinary materials, Lin Jiangfeng wouldn't feel so miserable since he could repurchase them with money.
However, in that attempt, Lin Jiangfeng had added the roots of the 500 Years Old Blood Ginseng. With the scarce resources on Blue Planet, such a treasure could only encounter by luck.
Hence, even his serenity temperament of a ten thousand years Immortal was aggravated by such misfortune.
But it was unintentionally caused by his fatty best friend, who happened to be the one who loaned him the money. What can he do?
'Why couldn't I just disregard the ringing phone calls?'
Lin Jiangfeng could only sigh and blamed himself for getting distracted by such a small matter.
...
Meanwhile, Yayoi was silently lurking in the shadow of trees, concealing herself like a professional thief.
After a great ordeal climbing up the mountain, she eventually located Lin Jiangfeng. But seeing him busy cooking with a cauldron, she decided to hide in a bush several hundred meters away, activating her Byakugan and peep on his secret.
Who knows, perhaps she could learn something.
'Huh? Damn! This Lin Jiangfeng, in just one night, has already shredded from his previous ordinary looks. How did he suddenly become so handsome all of a sudden? A pretty black-haired boy with fair and smooth skin...'
Yayoi was totally not jealous at all!
She just thought that if Lin Jiangfeng was to find the right sugar mama. He could earn a living by being a gigolo.
'!!!'
Suddenly, she saw Lin Jiangfeng start performing various swift hands signs. After that, the small fire immediately raged up several meters in height, moving, flashing in the air as if someone had poured in a whole barrel of gasoline.
'F*ck! No way—all that complicated hand signs, he moves so fast! Was he performing fire-style ninjutsu?'
Yayoi was flabbergasted.
She thought Lin Jiangfeng was just an ordinary martial artist manhua's protagonist, but from the sight of this, it seems that she has dramatically underestimated him. If the protagonist had such strange and powerful techniques, the future enemy would be even more powerful.
Everything that has happened so far since she first transmigrated flashed in Yayoi's mind.
Starting in a town, and begin by beating up Linbao, Zhou Clang Clang's only son, offending the big boss of the underground world of Xinyang. No matter how much Yayoi think about it, this seems only to be the start of the manhua.
Suddenly, Yayoi felt the need to keep her arrogance in check and revised her plan for the future.
'Oh no...there is still the trial quest! I need to take care of the Black Dog Gang and prevent them from ticking off Lin Jiangfeng's patience any further. Otherwise, if things proceed along with this generic plotline, Xiao Huahua's life would be questionable.'
Yayoi's face turned serious.
'Hey, what happens if the target of my trial quest is killed and I failed the trial quest?'
[It's a trial quest. There is no penalty, and anything you have gained so far will stay with you. However, if you fail to get the qualification of a truth Ugly Bastard, the link between the host and the system will automatically be terminated!]
'Ayo...Ugly Bastard! It would help if you told me earlier about such an important detail. Do you not like me being your host?'
