Chapter 9: The Culprit Appears
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The night wind blew past the green stone, bringing with it some heat.
Bai Lian carefully sized up the Gray Flame Grass that had just been taken out of the system’s temporary storage space.
As the name suggested, it was red grass.
The grass grew wildly in all directions. From afar, it looked no different from a burning fire.
Under the clear moonlight, Bai Lian even saw the air trembling from the sudden high temperature.
The tool description displayed by the system was as follows:
[Two-hundred-year-old Gray Flame Grass, scorching. It’s most suitable for people who practice fire-element cultivation methods. Immortal cultivators who practice other attribute cultivation methods can also use it to temper their bodies.]
[If it’s used for body tempering, it’s recommended to eat it raw. It can increase focus.]
[Side Effect: When refining the medicinal power, you will feel a very painful burning sensation.]
Bai Lian wiped the sweat off her forehead and waved her slender finger gently. A quail egg was sucked out of the bamboo basket in the distance.
She held the quail egg and slowly stretched her hand above the Gray Flame Grass.
In an instant, heat waves surged over.
Bai Lian didn’t retreat. She flipped the quail egg from time to time.
After a while, she retracted her hand. With a little force, the eggshell was crushed.
Just as she imagined, the quail egg was cooked!
Bai Lian hesitated for a moment before swallowing the quail egg.
The body tempering effect of the Gray Flame Grass should be to rely on the scorching spiritual power to stimulate the body of the user.
In the beginning, it would probably hurt a little, but even if she cultivated the Dao of Acacia, it was inevitable that she would encounter pain. The most important thing was the “joy of becoming stronger” after the pain.
Now, it was time for her to eat it!
Under the guidance of spiritual power, the Gray Flame Grass floated in front of Bai Lian.
The girl rolled the Gray Flame Grass into a “ball” and sent it into her mouth. It was hot, like she was eating spicy food.
“Why don’t I feel anything?”
Bai Lian touched her stomach, which was as cold as ice.
What happened to body tempering?
Could it be that there was too much water in her body that extinguished the fire-element spiritual power in the Gray Flame Grass?
Was this really a scam? How could the reward for the second mission be such a scam?!
Bai Lian, who felt that she had been teased, immediately activated her cursing mode. “What the hell! Damn! I hope you rot in hell!”
As if in response to Bai Lian’s anger, Bai Lian suddenly realized that steam was starting to rise from her head.
Eh?
It was as if there were bugs biting her body.
But it wasn’t extremely painful either…
“That’s it?”
Bai Lian, who felt that she was still fine, curled her lips in disdain.
She felt that she could still eat an entire bag of “spicy strips” without panting.
Bai Lian lay on the green rock. She no longer had any hope for the tempering effect of the Gray Flame Grass.
It was better to consider Second Junior Sister’s cultivation plan now.
Firstly, she had to help the other party repair her crippled spiritual root. She would go to the Pill Pavilion tomorrow morning to ask. The people there would definitely know.
Then, she had to help her choose a suitable cultivation technique.
And then…
“…”
The scene of Xiao Jinse being pressed into the pool and bullied by her suddenly flashed in Bai Lian’s mind.
Eh?
Why would she think of such a thing for no reason?
Just as this thought appeared, the scene changed to Xiao Jinse being forcefully turned into a “rabbit”.
“…”
Wait.
Bai Lian realized that something was wrong.
Her body became very hot, so hot that it could be used as an electromagnetic furnace.
But what was even more terrifying was that a flame spewed out from the deepest part of her body. The surging wave was fast and fierce, almost completely covering Bai Lian’s consciousness.
“Wuu.”
A strange voice jumped out of the girl’s pale lips.
After rolling twice on the ground, Bai Lian crawled up with difficulty.
She regretted it now.
She only knew that there would be flames burning her body, but she didn’t know that this flame was also called the Desire Fire. No wonder the dog system said that eating the Gray Flame Grass raw could increase [Focus].
A new mission appeared in front of Bai Lian.
[Mission 1: Break into Xiao Jinse’s room and extinguish the fire forcefully (Mission Reward: Supreme-grade spiritual weapon, Blackwater Holy Sword)]
[Mission 2: Beg Xiao Jinse to satisfy you (Mission Reward: Three Pure Yuan Yang Book)]
[Mission 3: Heart like a Holy Buddha! (Mission Reward: Dao runes special effect)]
[Mission 4: Settle it yourself. (Mission Reward: Soft body skill+3)]
Bai Lian’s expression changed again and again.
There was no time for her to hesitate.
She quickly ignored the first two missions. How could she dare to do something like that at this time? The meaning of the third mission reward was unknown. Special effects? Why would she want special effects?
As expected, she could only choose to settle it herself.
Bai Lian sighed secretly.
Her theoretical knowledge was quite rich, and she could easily pass subjects one and four. However, due to her lack of practical experience, she was really not sure if she could do it properly.
Just as she was about to choose Mission 4, rapid footsteps entered her ears with the wind.
Bai Lian turned around and saw a swaying wine gourd.
Then, Tong Yao, who had a bump on her head, appeared.
“Senior Sister Bai!”
A happy voice sounded.
The long purple pigtails weaved a dream-like illusory scene under the night sky.
Bai Lian’s body trembled.
Before the waves subsided, three more options appeared in front of her.
[Mission 1: A new target has already appeared. How can you hesitate? Pounce on her! (Mission Reward: Underworld Immortal Scripture)]
[Mission 2: There’s no time to explain. Let loose in front of everyone (Mission Reward: Thousand Feet Shield)]
[Mission 3: “Don’t come over!” (Mission Reward: Hard body skill+1)]
Bai Lian thought seriously for three seconds.
“Don’t come over!”
[Mission completed. Mission reward: Hard body skill+1]
“Eh?”
The excited Tong Yao stopped and asked carefully, “Senior Sister Bai, what happened?”
She discovered that the “clouds and mist” behind Bai Lian’s head seemed to be brewing something impressive.
Could it be that Senior Sister Bai was about to break through again?
Tong Yao’s eyes lit up.
Bai Lian said coldly, “I’m training the strength of my divine sense. Don’t get close. It won’t be good if I accidentally hurt you.”
Tong Yao nodded like a chick pecking at rice. “Senior Sister Bai, don’t worry. I’ll just stand here. I won’t go over. You can just treat me like grass.”
“…”
Could this person leave?
Bai Lian felt like she was going crazy.
The other party probably wouldn’t object to her leaving, right?
After choosing [Heart like a Holy Buddha!], she got up and jumped down from Qiong Ming Peak without a word.
“Senior Sister Bai!”
Tong Yao exclaimed and hurriedly ran to the edge of the cliff.
Below was the cold pool in the medicinal garden of Qiong Ming Peak. After Bai Lian jumped into the cold pool, the entire cold pool boiled.
Clouds lingered, and there seemed to be red light in it.
“As expected of Senior Sister Bai Lian. She can cause such a huge commotion just by tempering her divine sense!”
Tong Yao’s worship for Bai Lian was like a torrential river, endless.
She imagined that one day, she could also be as radiant as Bai Lian. Anyone who was disrespectful to Bai Lian would be disrespecting her!
For this, Tong Yao spared no effort to promote Bai Lian in the Immortal Du Sect.
She even included lines such as “when Bai Lian boils water, it is simply a blessing from the heavens” and “when Bai Lian cuts a tree, she emits a fairy’s jade voice” to praise her, making Tong Yao become the leader of the Bai Lian’s support club.
“This is…”
Suddenly, Tong Yao widened her eyes.
The invisible clouds just now actually turned into the shape of an animal after twisting.
“It’s a dragon and phoenix!”
After realizing this, Tong Yao sat on the ground in shock.
Dragon and Phoenix!
“Ahhh, I have to tell the others about this quickly!”
Tong Yao ran down Qiong Ming Peak in a flash, not even caring about the wooden clogs being sent flying.
…
At the same time.
Bai Lian crawled out of the cold pool.
She circulated her mental cultivation technique and evaporated the water on her clothes and hair.
Fortunately, she accidentally relied on the cold water to suppress the flames in her body.
The mission reward had been given, but Bai Lian didn’t care about this at all. There was a problem with the system!
After refining the medicinal power of the Gray Flame Grass, her basic skills soared.
[Hard Body Skill: 128
Soft Body Skill: 131
Lightness Skill: 125
Focus: 136]
“Didn’t they say that human abilities have limits?”
If Bai Lian didn’t remember wrongly, the maximum value of the core martial arts system before the protagonist in “Battle of the Gods” officially started cultivating should only be 100.
Could it be that this system was inhuman?
Oh, it wasn’t human to begin with.
Bai Lian was more or less comforted. This system didn’t seem to be completely broken. It still had a little conscience.
