《Cultivation System: All I Want Is To Fail My Mission!》 Chapter 1 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Quick, quick, quick! Hurry up and open the page, the results of your finals are coming out!¡± ¡°Where¡¯s your phone? Log in using your phone number first and make sure that our Young Master is the first to know the score!¡± Seeing that the time was approaching, the servants at the side were already busy. Even the usually mature and steady butler was no longer as calm as before. ¡°Young Master, are you thirsty? Do you want some water? If you¡¯re too nervous, I¡¯ll call a psychiatrist over.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯m not nervous, don¡¯t worry.¡± Jiang Yu didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the group of people who were even more anxious than him. He was the one who wanted to check the results, but they were even more excited about it than he was. However¡­ Watching them constantly refreshing the page in front of him, even Jiang Yu, who had predicted his results, couldn¡¯t help but feel a little nervous. As time passed, a sudden exclamation broke the silence. ¡°No way!¡± The results were out! Jiang Yu rushed forward with a vigorous stride, so nervous that his breathing was trembling. However, when he saw the page on the screen, he staggered back two steps, his face full of disbelief. ¡°How is that possible? I was sure to get 690. Why did I only get 350?!1¡± He was confident in his own results. He couldn¡¯t be wrong! If the problem wasn¡¯t with him, then someone must be obstructing him! ¡°This must be Dad¡¯s doing!¡± Almost subconsciously, Jiang Yu gritted his teeth as his father¡¯s appearance popped up in his mind. His father did everything he could to get him back and inherit his family¡¯s company and 300 houses. He even used such a cheap trick as secretly changing the test papers! The family property¡­ He was to inherit the family property¡­ However, he did not want to return and took over these things! However, when he turned his head, the bright red 350 almost stung his eyes, causing his eyes to turn red. Was there any way to get rid of this pain?! There was no way to get rid of it, not even in this lifetime. Not only would he not be able to get rid of it, but his father would also try his best to let him inherit all the family assets. Thinking of this, Jiang Yu felt sorrow from the bottom of his heart. He walked to his balcony, facing the pool underneath, his face was full of sorrow. ¡°Since you insist on letting me inherit this lousy family property, I might as well jump down from here! It would also save you the trouble of making small tricks!¡± ¡°Goodness! My Young Master, what are you doing?!¡± Seeing that Jiang Yu was about to jump off the building, the servants instantly panicked. ¡°Young Master, come down quickly. It¡¯s too dangerous to stand there!¡± ¡°Where are the bodyguards? Hurry up and call the bodyguards!¡± Faced with the chaotic scene below, Jiang Yu only looked up at the sky, a line of tears flowing down from the corner of his eyes. ¡°God, you¡¯re too unfair to me. I just want to pursue my dreams. What¡¯s wrong with that?¡± However, just as he finished speaking, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in Jiang Yu¡¯s ears. [Are you still troubled by life? Are you still confused about the future? No need to wait, no need to be conflicted, the cultivation system officially opens the door for you! As long as you have a positive heart, the system can fulfill all your wishes!] ¡®Is this some new form of extortion?¡¯ Almost subconsciously, Jiang Yu said in his heart. However, he quickly grasped the keyword. System. Any wish. ¡®Damn, isn¡¯t this the legendary cheat?!¡¯ Jiang Yu, who was originally prepared to commit suicide, was instantly energized. After hurriedly returning to the house, he immediately waved away the servants. After instructing them not to come into his room, Jiang Yu excitedly spoke to this sudden voice. ¡°Is what you said true? I can wish for anything and it will come true?¡± [Of course. As long as you can successfully activate the system.] Hearing the mechanical voice¡¯s confident tone, Jiang Yu was so excited that he nodded wildly. ¡°I¡¯ll agree, I¡¯ll agree to all the terms! Tell me how to activate it, and I¡¯ll do it!¡± He could do anything if he didn¡¯t inherit the family property! [Forming the bond between the system and the host is very simple. You will only need to write down your name in your mind, and the bond will be successfully made.] After Jiang Yu wrote down his name, the system¡¯s voice instantly became much clearer. [Hello, Host. I¡¯m a system from an advanced civilization. In a year, you will have a spiritual energy recovery in this world. At that time, the world would undergo a complete reshuffle. From now on, strength is supreme.] [In order to congratulate the host for binding with the system, the system is now giving the host a newcomer gift pack. It has been sent to the host.] Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu subconsciously looked to his side. A gift box appeared out of thin air beside his empty hand. There is actually a real item filling the space. Jiang Yu weighed it in his hand curiously and opened it. It was a golden pill. At the same time, the system also issued the first mission. [Beginner¡¯s Mission: Cleanse the body and remove 100% of the impurities within the body.] [Note: If you fail the mission, you will be punished with 100 top-grade Clear Heart Pills.] ¡°Wow, are the beginner¡¯s missions so humane these days? Is the system afraid that I won¡¯t have enough to eat?¡± Seeing the punishment, Jiang Yu smacked his lips and swallowed the Clear Heart Pill. The Clear Heart Pill melted in his mouth, leaving a faint fragrance between his lips and teeth. However, this feeling only lasted for a second. In the next moment, Jiang Yu felt an indescribable pain coming from his limbs and bones. Instantly, Jiang Yu¡¯s face turned pale. ¡°What the f*ck is this!?¡± Jiang Yu couldn¡¯t help but curse. His originally handsome face was distorted because of the pain, and his back was quickly soaked in a cold sweat. ¡®It¡¯s too f*cking painful! Isn¡¯t there any painkiller?¡¯ Just as Jiang Yu had thought of this, the system replied. [There is, Host! I¡¯ll send it to you now!] Jiang Yu, who was already curled up on the sofa in pain, forced himself to stuff the newly sent pill into his mouth. Fortunately, the things given by the system were very powerful. In just a breath, Jiang Yu gradually calmed down. Although the Purification didn¡¯t take long, Jiang Yu still spent ten minutes finishing it. However, looking at himself covered in black mud, Jiang Yu could not help but despise himself. ¡®Heh, so dirty¡­¡¯ After washing the black mud off his body, Jiang Yu was about to step out of the bathroom feeling refreshed. However, the system¡¯s words in his mind instantly stunned him. [11% of the impurities in the body have been removed, leaving 90% of the body unclean. Mission failed. 100 top-grade Clear Heart Pills have been distributed to the host. Please remember to receive them.] If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 2 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation How did he fail? He had clearly washed out so much black mud! Jiang Yu¡¯s eyes widened. Just as he was about to say something, his hand was forcefully stuffed with a jar full of top-grade Clear Heart Pills. At the same time, the system¡¯s voice sounded. [Beginner¡¯s Mission: Purification and Book Changing. It also removed the remaining 90% of the impurities in the body.] [Note: If you fail the mission, you will be punished with 1.000 top-grade Clear Heart Pills.] Jiang Yu was speechless. So it wanted him to remove 100% of the impurities in his body? If one time was not enough, he would take two times, and if two times were not enough, he would do it again. In short, he had to be clean. Realizing this, the corner of his mouth couldn¡¯t help but twitch. He looked at the jar of Clear Heart Pills in his hand with a dark expression. Couldn¡¯t he just remove it all at once? The system insisted on eating them one by one. ¡°What top-grade Clear Heart Pill? I think it¡¯s fake.¡± Jiang Yu mumbled as his hands moved. He stuffed it into his mouth like he was chewing candy. Fortunately, the Clear Heart Pill melted in his mouth, so Jiang Yu wouldn¡¯t feel full no matter how much he ate. And if he ate so many Clear Heart Pills at once, the medicinal effects would not be obvious. However, Jiang Yu didn¡¯t need to worry about this as the system provided him with the best service. [Host, the effect will be even better if you take it with Jadewater.] Then, a beautifully packaged jade jar appeared in front of Jiang Yu. He subconsciously weighed it in his hand. Wow, it was probably about five kilograms! He was feeding the pigs. Jiang Yu¡¯s mouth twitched. Hearing what the system wanted to say in his mind, he waved his hand. ¡°Say no more, I want them all!¡± At the same time, in a Daoist temple. A pretty girl was pestering an old man, almost teasingly. ¡°Aiya, Elder, I¡¯ll take one Clear Heart Pill, just one! Then I won¡¯t bother you.¡± The young girl¡¯s voice was as tender as an oriole1, but it made the elder¡¯s face look even more fond. ¡°You don¡¯t need the Clear Heart Pill yet. The most important task is to build a good foundation first.¡± ¡°My basic skills are already very solid! If you don¡¯t believe me, you can ask the seniors!¡± The young girl was somewhat unconvinced. She rolled her beautiful eyes twice, before pulling the elder¡¯s hand and began buttering up the man. ¡°Besides, aren¡¯t you here? You¡¯re so powerful, you definitely won¡¯t just watch anything happen to me, right? With you protecting me, I¡¯ll be fine!¡± ¡°Alright, alright, you little girl. You really know how to talk,¡± In the end, the elder still couldn¡¯t resist the girl¡¯s sugar-coated words. He took out a small box and opened it. ¡°This is the low-grade Clear Heart Pill.¡± Seeing the disappointment on the young girl¡¯s face, the elder¡¯s expression darkened slightly, appearing somewhat solemn. ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate it just because it¡¯s a low-grade Clear Heart Pill. Even if it¡¯s only a low-grade, it¡¯s still an item that can¡¯t be bought with a thousand gold coins. Moreover, if you consume too much at once, it will damage your spirit meridians. In serious cases, you won¡¯t be unable to cultivate anymore!¡± ¡°The consequences are actually that serious?¡± The girl¡¯s eyes flashed with astonishment. However, when he saw the pill that was shining with a dim golden light, she still firmly extended, determinedly, extended her hand. Meanwhile, what they thought would have serious consequences¡­ Jiang Yu still continued to take them. He had finally taken a hundred of those pills, and his body was already covered in a thick layer of black mud. However, Jiang Yu didn¡¯t have the time to care about the stench on his body. Instead, he looked at the system impatiently. ¡°How is it? This should be enough, right?¡± However, the system still gave him a cold and ruthless answer. [70% impurities removed, 20% remaining. Mission failed. 1,000 top-grade Clear Heart Pills have been distributed to the host. Please remember to receive them.] What was that? Why hadn¡¯t he succeeded the Purification? Jiang Yu was a little dumbfounded. He looked at the Clear Heart Pill in his hand that was ten times more than before and finally gritted his teeth and took them one at a time. After consuming 1,000 Clear Heart Pills, Jiang Yu instantly felt as if his entire body was being roasted on fire. An indescribable pain spread from all over his body. He didn¡¯t even have time to react before his vision turned black. When he woke up again, maids were standing in front of him. However, what puzzled him was that each of them had a shy expression on their faces as if they were infatuated. What happened? Jiang Yu was a little dumbfounded. Before he could process what was going on, the system¡¯s voice sounded again. [Congratulations to the host for achieving the Untainted Body. Reward: East-rising Purple Qi, 99 Vitality Pills, Qi-Jin Fist]¡± [Note: Vitality Pill ¡ª Take one pill before and after each meal. Your leveling speed will skyrocket.] After he finally processed the good news, he whooped joyfully. What happened just now was not a dream at all. He was really cultivating! Realizing this, Jiang Yu instantly sat up on his bed, his heart pounding. However, Jiang Yu had forgotten that he hadn¡¯t worn any clothes when he started cultivating. Now that he sat up abruptly, the thin blanket fell off, revealing his six-pack abs, causing the maid beside him to scream. Damn it, how did her young master become so hot!? Surprised by their sudden scream, Jiang Yu quickly reacted, ¡°Get out!¡± He quickly chased all the love-struck maids out with a dark face before he realized the change in his body. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Jiang Yu hurried to the full-length mirror and looked at himself in shock. Originally, his figure could only be considered average, he had a small belly pouch that young people would have. But now, his body was very well-proportioned. Although there were no particularly exaggerated abdominal muscles on his stomach, his small pouch had disappeared without a trace. Originally, he could only be considered as five points high in looks, but now he was pulled to full marks. He could clearly see the shadow of himself in every part of his face, but he was several times more handsome than before. ¡°F*ck, I¡¯m so handsome.¡± Jiang Yu touched his face in disbelief and asked in wonderment. ¡°How did I become like this?¡± This was even better than plastic surgery. [That¡¯s because all the impurities in your body have been expelled from your body, and your constitution will naturally change.] The system didn¡¯t hide anything and issued a second mission at the same time. [Beginner¡¯s Mission 2: Cultivate Qi Sense.] [Note: Failure of the mission will result in a penalty of 999 Qi and Blood Pills.] Only when one could feel the existence of spiritual energy could one truly step into cultivation. Even though Jiang Yu had never cultivated before, he still knew a little about this from the novels he read. However¡­ Looking at the pill bottle that had fallen beside him, Jiang Yu glared at it with disgust. Then, he began to calm his heart and sink his Qi into his Dantian, preparing to concentrate. He did not believe that he could not cultivate by himself. However, when Jiang Yu opened his eyes again, he angrily and helplessly discovered that he really couldn¡¯t just rely on himself! [Host, please accept the pill.] The system said exactly at that moment. Jiang Yu couldn¡¯t help but sigh, but he didn¡¯t pick up the pill. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 3 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°I read in those novels that you have to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Why can¡¯t I sense it?¡± Jiang Yu didn¡¯t give up and decided to ask the system. It was probably because his cultivation method was wrong. Perhaps if he changed his cultivation method, he would be able to infuse spiritual energy into his body¡­? Jiang Yu was still consoling himself when the system mercilessly destroyed his beautiful dream. [Because the host¡¯s world doesn¡¯t have enough spiritual power supply for the time being, the only way to cultivate is to take Qi and Blood Pills.] To put it bluntly, don¡¯t think about those useless things. Just take the pills and it¡¯ll be over. Jiang Yu was speechless. It was unexpected but reasonable. He could only blame himself for being too na?ve and looking for an easy way. Jiang Yu wiped his face, but he still didn¡¯t intend to solve this problem by consuming pills. Relying solely on pills, wasn¡¯t that the same as relying on his father¡¯s items? Thinking of this, Jiang Yu couldn¡¯t help but fiercely spit. The fighting spirit in his eyes was even more exuberant. He did not believe that there was no other way than to fight head-on. After pondering for a moment, Jiang Yu clapped his hands in realization. ¡°How could I forget this!¡± The system had given him a hint from the beginning. Cultivation required a large amount of spiritual power to be able to achieve it. How could he have spiritual power for him to cultivate in this golden room? Wouldn¡¯t it be better to find a place with a beautiful environment and mountains? Thinking of this, Jiang Yu didn¡¯t continue to sit still and wait for death. He stood up and called the maid waiting outside. Soon, five maids entered the room. Even though they already knew that their young master had become handsome, the maids still couldn¡¯t help but blush when they saw his beauty. However, Jiang Yu didn¡¯t want to care about this for the time being. He immediately waved his hand and called the butler in charge over. ¡°Go and contact the villa with the best environment. I want to go there now.¡± ¡°Yes, Young Master.¡± The head maid nodded and left with her phone in hand. Not long after, she returned. ¡°I¡¯ve found the villa, Young Master.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s set off now!¡± Jiang Yu waved his hand and led everyone to rush over to the new place. The villa that the head maid found was in the east. It was originally a holiday resort for the rich. Jiang Yu¡¯s dozen or so luxury cars passed through one after another, causing a traffic jam. However, due to the Jiang family¡¯s reputation, the cars in front did not dare to say anything. They all made way for them. Because of this, Jiang Yu arrived at the villa without any obstructions. When he reached the location, he saw a charming middle-aged woman standing by the door. With just a glance, Jiang Yu recognized that this was the lady boss of this villa, the woman known as Mother Ye. She was wearing a tight-fitting cheongsam, showing off her curvy figure. Her long hair was tied behind her head with a jade hairpin, revealing her slender neck. She could seduce a man¡¯s soul with a single glance. ¡°I wonder which young master it is. It¡¯s so lively that even I can¡¯t help but come out to take a look.¡± Mother Ye covered her mouth and chuckled. Her coquettish fox eyes swept across everyone without leaving a trace and finally focused on Jiang Yu. When she saw that he was just a young boy, a look of disdain flashed across her eyes. It seemed like it was another insensible young master. Despite noticing the hostile look in her eyes, Jiang Yu took it all in stride. However, he did not have the time to care about this now. ¡°You must be the lady boss of the villa, right? I don¡¯t have anything important to tell you. I just want to rent your villa for a year.¡± Jiang Yu said indifferently, completely ignoring how shocking his words were. Hearing this, even Mother Ye, who had seen a lot of things, could not help but gasp. Her eyes were filled with shock as she subconsciously spoke. ¡°Young Master, this is not just some random villa. You can¡¯t joke about this.¡± In the past, her villa had only been booked for a month at most. She had never even heard of a villa that was booked for half a year. And this kid wanted to rent it for a whole year? He must have been sent by someone else to cause trouble! ¡°Who said I was joking?¡± Seeing the disbelief on Mother Ye¡¯s face, Jiang Yu frowned and didn¡¯t say anything else. He just took out the cheque he had just written in the car and stuffed it into Mother Ye¡¯s hand. ¡°If I remember correctly, your villa used to be rented for three million a month, right? Right here, 40 million gold coins. This should be more than enough for a year¡¯s rent.¡± Jiang Yu didn¡¯t explain himself further, and Mother Ye naturally understood what he meant. He had already given out so much money at once. Why wasn¡¯t she leaving the site as quickly as possible? ¡°Uh¡­¡± Mother Ye couldn¡¯t help but take two steps back. The cheque in her hand weighed a thousand pounds. Did this young man really have the ability to rent it for a year?! In the next second, Mother Ye¡¯s attitude changed drastically. ¡°Young Master, may I know your name?¡± ¡°Jiang Yu.¡± His voice was faint but did not extinguish Mother Ye¡¯s enthusiasm. ¡°Young Master Jiang, I¡¯ll clear the area for you now. Why don¡¯t I get someone to bring you to the inner court first? When you come out, I guarantee that there will be no one outside to disturb you!¡± Jiang Yu was in a hurry to cultivate, so Mother Ye¡¯s suggestion was a compromise. After thinking about it, Jiang Yu nodded and agreed to this method. It was noisy here, but it didn¡¯t affect the public area at all. At this moment, a group of young men and women were celebrating. ¡°Xiaoyuan, you¡¯re amazing. You even got into Tsinghua University!¡± A girl with a ponytail said excitedly to her, making Lin Xiaoyuan a little shy. ¡°I was just lucky. The questions I reviewed happened to be the same type as the exam.¡± ¡°Aiya, don¡¯t be so humble, our little top scorer.¡± Lin Lin, the short-haired girl who was eating grapes, immediately looked up and said with a smile. ¡°If it were that easy, Jiang Yu from our class wouldn¡¯t have to study for so long and end up in junior college.¡± ¡°But he¡¯s really stupid. I heard that he has a private tutor at home, but he couldn¡¯t even get half of Xiaoyuan¡¯s score. With that amount of time, he could probably move bricks to the contractor at the construction site.¡± Zhu Lexin, who was at the side, curled his lips in disdain, his face full of mockery. ¡°No way. He is so skinny and small, it would be even more difficult for him to move one brick.¡± They laughed and fooled around, but Lin Xiaoyuan frowned in disapproval. ¡°We¡¯re all classmates. It¡¯s not nice to badmouth anybody,¡± ¡°Xiaoyuan, your heart is too soft!¡± Lin Lin¡¯s tone was full of disdain. ¡°He¡¯s just a piece of trash that can¡¯t be helped. What¡¯s there to sympathize with?¡± To them, Jiang Yu, who went home right after school, was not from the same world as them. Moreover, the college entrance examination results were fake. It was something that even they did not care about. What was wrong with them saying a few words? However, Lin Xiaoyuan¡¯s tone was serious. ¡°You can¡¯t say that. I think Jiang Yu still wants to learn. If he wants, I can tutor him.¡± Hearing this, everyone looked at each other. Wasn¡¯t Lin Xiaoyuan being a little too concerned about Jiang Yu? Lin Lin, who felt humiliated by her, also looked a little embarrassed. Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, the staff of the villa suddenly appeared. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, everyone. The villa has just been booked by a customer. It¡¯s really inconvenient. Please come back next time.¡± ¡°What do you mean? Why didn¡¯t you chase whoever that customer out?¡± With the sudden interruption, everyone¡¯s anger suddenly had an outlet to vent. They all forgot about the staff member. However, before the staff member could speak, everyone was shocked to see Jiang Yu appear in front of them with his bodyguards. When did Jiang Yu become so rich? Everyone was dumbfounded. However, before they could open their mouths to ask questions, the bodyguards took two steps forward and ushered them out without any explanation.

Chapter 4 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Since Jiang Yu had casually thrown out millions of money, everyone in the villa was quickly cleared out. There was a natural hot spring in the backyard. Jiang Yu nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the spring water that was filled with white mist. The system couldn¡¯t understand Jiang Yu¡¯s behavior, so it asked, [Host, what are you doing here?] ¡°Aren¡¯t I supposed to cultivate my Qi sense now? However, the environment around me is not enough to support my cultivation.¡± Jiang Yu explained patiently to the system as he poured the Vitality Pill into the spring water. ¡°In that case, I might as well create a space filled with spiritual energy. This way, I can meet the conditions for cultivation.¡± [You can do that?!] The system was shocked. It didn¡¯t expect the host it chose to be so smart! Simply putting a Vitality Pill into the water naturally could not fully stimulate the spiritual energy in the Vitality Pill. After pondering for a moment, Jiang Yu stuffed the Qi and Blood Pills into his mouth as he threw some in. The Qi and Blood Pills in his stomach quickly turned into spiritual power and flowed through his limbs and bones. Although it could only stay in his body for a short time, it was enough for Jiang Yu to mobilize the spiritual power and then catalyze the Qi and Blood Pills that were thrown into the pool. As Jiang Yu released more and more spiritual energy, the spiritual energy in the backyard also rose steadily. Looking at the endless spiritual energy appearing, even the system, which had long been shocked, could not help but curse. [F*ck, this kind of plan is too flashy!] As the spiritual energy in the backyard continued to stack, the materialized spiritual energy quickly turned into a cloud of smoke that enveloped the entire hot spring. The system only took a glance and realized that the level of spiritual power here was comparable to that of a level 5 grotto-heaven! Even in a world filled with spiritual energy, it was difficult to find a level 3 grotto-heaven, meanwhile, this place was comparable to a level 5 grotto-heaven! If other cultivators discovered this place, they would be willing to die here! 99 Vitality Pills might seem like a lot, but with Jiang Yu¡¯s wasteful behavior, they were quickly used up. Jiang Yu nodded in satisfaction. He could feel the spiritual energy around him so vividly that could almost be touched. At this level, he couldn¡¯t possibly still fail to cultivate Qi Sense, right? After taking off his bathrobe, Jiang Yu sat down in the hot spring and said to the system with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ve used up all the Qi and Blood Pills, but I haven¡¯t cultivated the sense of Qi yet. Shouldn¡¯t you continue to give me 999 Vitality Pills?¡± The system, which had already seen through Jiang Yu¡¯s intentions, did not hesitate and immediately issued a mission. [Cultivation of Qi Sense is zero. Mission failed. 999 Vitality Pills have been distributed to the host. Please remember to check them.] [Beginner¡¯s Mission 2: Cultivate Qi Sense.] [Note: Failure of the mission will result in a penalty of 999 Qi and Blood Pills.] Looking at the pills that appeared in his hand, Jiang Yu nodded in satisfaction and continued to repeat his method. However, 99 Vitality Pills already had the effect of a level 5 grotto-heaven. After Jiang Yu consumed these 999 Vitality Pills, the spiritual energy in the pool instantly increased to the legendary level 9 grotto-heaven. However, this effect would not last long. After all, this was just a place that Jiang Yu had artificially created. When the effects of the Vitality Pill wore off, this place would return to its former self. The system watched happily at Jiang Yu¡¯s inhumane squandering behavior from the side. It was even afraid that it would delay Jiang Yu¡¯s wasting speed, so it very considerately placed the Qi and Blood Pills nearby. In this terrifying atmosphere, Jiang Yu finally cultivated his Qi Sense. He opened his eyes and instantly noticed the changes in his body. His vision, which had improved after Purification, became even better now. Even though there was still spiritual energy surrounding him, Jiang Yu could see the prints on the wall opposite him. Moreover, his perception of spiritual power had also become more acute. Originally, he would only feel comfortable and gentle heat from the springs. But now, Jiang Yu seemed to be able to feel the spirit energy drilling into his body through his every pore. It was as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring after a day of work. Every part of her skin felt relaxed. Apart from that, Jiang Yu also felt that his body was filled with spiritual energy. [Congratulations to the host for achieving the cultivation of Qi Sense. Reward obtained: Double Time Card for 1 hour x 1.] Listening to the system¡¯s announcement, Jiang Yu stretched his muscles and stood up from the water. ¡°How long did I spend here?¡± [Host, you spent a total of five and a half hours.] ¡°That long?¡± Jiang Yu frowned in dissatisfaction. He thought that he would only need two to three hours to succeed. Fortunately, there were no other cultivators here. Otherwise, if they heard Jiang Yu¡¯s complaints, they would probably spit out a mouthful of blood. You think five and a half hours is long? If that happened, they would have to die after cultivating for 20 to 30 years! One had to know that an ordinary person would not be able to cultivate Qi sense even if they cultivated it for their entire life. Even those cultivation geniuses in history took five years to cultivate their Qi sense! However, Jiang Yu didn¡¯t know about this. After stretching his body, Jiang Yu asked a question that he had been curious about for a long time. ¡°Since you¡¯re a system, do you have any system store?¡± As far as he knew, all the systems had their own store. Jiang Yu also wanted to see what the legendary system store looked like. [Of course!] The system quickly brought up a void panel. Looking at the electronic interface in front of him, Jiang Yu was instantly energized. ¡°This is your shop? What are you selling?¡± Jiang Yu reached out his hand and began to scroll through the interface in front of him. However, other than the Heart Cleansing Pill and the Vitality Pill, he did not know any other Spirit Gathering Pills and Body Strengthening Pills. If he continued to slide down, there would be time cards and cultivation cards. However, perhaps because his current level was still too low, Jiang Yu only scrolled down two pages and there was nothing else. However, apart from that, Jiang Yu also discovered that the prices of these medicinal pills were ridiculously cheap. For example, the top-grade Clear Heart Pills he had taken at the beginning only cost 20 here, and there were 10,000 in stock. There were even more Vitality Pills in the inventory. There were a total of 100,000. Moreover, one could be bought for only ten yuan. Seeing these prices, even Jiang Yu, who didn¡¯t know anything, couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°Isn¡¯t this too cheap? Not only that!¡­¡± Hearing his sigh, the system couldn¡¯t help but feel a little smug. [These stocks will be refreshed every day. Host, you don¡¯t have to worry about running out of pills! In the future, if your level rises, there will be more choices for you to refer to!] [Isn¡¯t that cool?] Jiang Yu¡¯s eyes instantly lit up. It would be great to have such a system! [You¡¯re welcome.] The system raised its tail proudly. [If it weren¡¯t for our system¡¯s rules, I would have set the inventory to max. But fine! This is enough for now!] Hearing the system¡¯s words, Jiang Yu asked many questions. From the looks of it, he was just short of calling the system his brother. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 5 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After understanding the system store, Jiang Yu was even more eager to improve his strength. Jiang Yu took out the Double Cultivation Card that he had just bought from the store and asked about its usage. ¡°How do you use this double cultivation card?¡± [You just need to stick it on your body and it will automatically start operating in a few seconds. Only one Double Cultivation Card could be used at a time. When used, it could double the cultivation speed. However, host, you don¡¯t have to worry. When your level goes up, you can buy a higher-level cultivation card.] ¡°I see.¡± Jiang Yu nodded slightly. Without hesitation, he pressed the item against his body. Just as Jiang Yu stuck the ¡®Project¡¯ on his body, the system issued the next mission in time. [Beginner¡¯s Mission 3: Cultivate the first level of the East-rising Purple Qi in an hour. Make five small circulations in your body and open up the Conception and Governor Meridians.] [Note: Failure of the mission will result in a penalty of 1 supreme-grade Spirit Gathering Pill.] [Note: Top-grade Spirit Gathering Pill ¡ª The effect of one pill is equivalent to ten times the Qi and Blood Pill.] Seeing the system mission, Jiang Yu immediately sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the spiritual energy around him. The East-rising Purple Qi was automatically stored in Jiang Yu¡¯s mind by the system. Even though it was Jiang Yu¡¯s first time using it, he was so familiar with it that it felt like he had done it countless times before. Closing his eyes, Jiang Yu felt as if he had entered a very mysterious realm. There was no one around, but Jiang Yu seemed to be able to feel the existence of spiritual power. He could even see them. Jiang Yu gradually began to operate within this mysterious feeling. However, even though the surrounding spiritual energy was dense, Jiang Yu had only just started cultivating Qi Sense, and even mobilizing the spiritual energy in his body was somewhat stumbling. Even though his body was filled with spirit energy, Jiang Yu was still a little clumsy. Even with the help of the Double Cultivation Card, Jiang Yu only completed one small circulation in an hour. [The East-rising Purple Qi Qi Training Scroll has failed to cultivate the first level. It has failed to circulate five small cycles. The supreme-grade Spirit Gathering Pill has been distributed to the host. Please remember to receive it.] Seeing the Spirit Gathering Pill in his hand, Jiang Yu already stuffed it into his mouth without changing his expression. At the same time, he opened the system store and successfully unlocked the top-grade Spirit Gathering Pill on the page. The stock was 1,000 gold coins, and each one was sold for 100 gold coins. Jiang Yu bought it without hesitation. Instead of waiting for the system to issue missions one by one, he might as well buy them himself. Anything that could be solved with money was not a problem. However, since one Spirit Gathering Pill could be compared to one Vitality Pill that was ten times stronger, the effect of consuming it was naturally different from the Vitality Pill. Jiang Yu had only just swallowed it when a burning sensation immediately surged through his entire body. Sensing the changes in his body, Jiang Yu didn¡¯t delay it anymore and continued to cultivate. When he was tired, he would buy some Spirit Receiving Pills from the store. To the present Jiang Yu, he can only eliminate some of the negative buffs on his body. However, this was enough. Finally, after an entire afternoon of cultivation, Jiang Yu completed five small revolutions in the evening. After these five small circulation cycles, Jiang Yu¡¯s grasp of his spiritual power had also become more proficient. Looking at the remaining Spirit-Gathering Pills in front of him, Jiang Yu stuffed them all into his mouth. He was prepared to use the impact of these Spirit Gathering Pills to break his Conception and Governor Meridians! Jiang Yu took a deep breath and focused all his energy on his lower abdomen. At the same time, streams of spiritual power began to continuously attack his conception and governor meridians. Fortunately, the spiritual energy around him was still quite dense, so Jiang Yu could repeat this method several times in one go. Finally, after the last strand of spiritual energy rushed, Jiang Yu suddenly felt his body relax. Then, the surrounding spiritual energy began to crazily surge into his body. His Conception and Governor Meridians had been opened! Realizing this, Jiang Yu instantly opened his eyes. [Congratulations to the host for reaching the first level of the East-rising Purple Qi Cultivation technique. Reward: Triple Cultivation Card x1, Sword Control Book x1, Spirit Gathering Gathering Pill x1] [Note: Spirit Gathering Pill ¡ª One pill has the same effect as a 50x Vitality Pill. It can also increase the strength of the body.] It could increase the strength of the body? Upon seeing this, Jiang Yu couldn¡¯t wait to take them. Although he had already prepared himself when the medicinal effects of the Gathering Spirit Pill began to circulate in his body, Jiang Yu still could not help but grunt in pain, and his face instantly turned pale. ¡®F*ck, this is too painful!¡¯ It was as if his body didn¡¯t belong to him anymore. His skin was exploding inch by inch. Even if Jiang Yu wanted to circulate his spiritual power, he didn¡¯t have the energy to do so. Pain, it was too painful! Upon seeing this, the system quickly sent the painkiller pill to Jiang Yu. [Do you accept the painkiller?] The system prompt was getting more and more concise. Jiang Yu accepted it without thinking. After stuffing the painkiller pill into his mouth, Jiang Yu closed his eyes and waited for the medicine to take effect. However, Jiang Yu, who had his eyes closed, did not notice that his body was emitting a faint golden light. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to see it. Soon, Jiang Yu opened his eyes. Seeing that the young boy had finished absorbing the Spirit Gathering Pill, the system said, [Since the host has taken the Gathering Spirit Pill, the system will arrange for the host to train his body from tomorrow onwards.] ¡°I can start body refinement so soon?¡± Jiang Yu was a little surprised. He lowered his head and looked at his fist. He mobilized the spiritual power in his body and punched at the fake mountain rock beside him. Originally, Jiang Yu only wanted to test his physical condition after an afternoon of training. He didn¡¯t expect that his punch would crack the fake mountain rock! ¡°F*ck!¡± Jiang Yu couldn¡¯t help but curse. He was too awesome! If anyone dared to find trouble with him in the future, he would send them to the afterlife. The bodyguards and maids who heard the sound rushed in immediately and stared at Jiang Yu, who was standing beside the gravel. Seeing the bodyguard¡¯s dumbfounded expression, Jiang Yu suddenly laughed. He pointed at a few of the bodyguards and said arrogantly. ¡°You, you, and you. Come up and fight me!¡± Jiang Yu¡¯s bodyguards were all retired special forces soldiers. They were a little confused when they heard this. However, they had to listen to their employer. One of the bodyguards walked up first. Jiang Yu laughed when he saw this. ¡°Good!¡± As he spoke, he punched the bodyguard in the chest. Judging from the bodyguard¡¯s physique, he was similar to two Jiang Yus. However, Jiang Yu didn¡¯t even move half a step after this punch. Instead, the bodyguard retreated more than ten steps! Seeing this situation, the remaining two bodyguards looked at each other and no longer hesitated. The one on the left aimed a punch at his chest, but he didn¡¯t expect Jiang Yu to be fine, and he was forced to take more than ten steps back. His wrist was also twisted unnaturally. He fractured the bodyguard¡¯s wrist! If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 6 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation No one had expected such a situation. The bodyguards knew that the young master had become stronger, but to actually break someone¡¯s wrist¡­ This¡­ How could he do so easily?! The bodyguard on the right suddenly felt a little scared and subconsciously took a few steps back. Would he break his wrist as well? ¡°You, fight me!¡± Jiang Yu rubbed his fists as he felt the power surging through his entire body. He could probably deal with more than ten people with his current strength. The bodyguard hesitated for a moment and did not dare to go forward. Whether he was injured by the young master or by his own doing, he would not have a good ending. The bodyguard swallowed his saliva. ¡°Do you want me to say it again?¡± Jiang Yu¡¯s tone was somewhat threatening. This time, the bodyguard seemed to have decided to go all out and determinedly rushed toward Jiang Yu. However, he did not let his guard down. After all, he was a retired special forces soldier. How could he be defeated so easily? His two comrades were too careless. He would not repeat their mistakes! Jiang Yu also wanted to have a good showdown with him. However, he himself did not expect that even without touching his body¡­ The gust of wind from his punch was enough to send the bodyguard flying backward and hitting the wall. He did not get up for a long time. Jiang Yu lowered his head and looked at his own fist. He had some guesses about his approximate health. Could this be the legendary internal force?! [Host, your current strength is more than enough to deal with ordinary people. There¡¯s no need to waste time fighting them.] The purpose of the system was to keep urging Jiang Yu to cultivate. ¡°What are you rushing me for? Can¡¯t you let me show off for a while longer?¡± He hadn¡¯t had enough fun yet! Why should he end so soon? At this moment, a bodyguard suddenly appeared outside the door. It was unknown where he came from, but he immediately rushed up when he saw Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu wasn¡¯t the least bit afraid of the dozen bodyguards. He grabbed one of the bodyguards¡¯ arms and threw it fiercely, knocking the rest of the bodyguards to the ground. ¡°Whoa! I¡¯m so awesome now!¡± The bodyguards couldn¡¯t believe it. They got up and rushed forward again. The result was naturally the same as before. They didn¡¯t even manage to touch a single hair on Jiang Yu¡¯s body before they were sent flying again. They could only hear the sound of bones cracking. They didn¡¯t know which part of their bodies had been fractured. ¡°When¡­ When did Jiang Yu become so powerful? Wasn¡¯t he just a piece of mud that couldn¡¯t climb up the wall a few days ago?¡± ¡°How would I know? Anyway, I¡¯m not going to continue fighting. If I continue, I¡¯ll die!¡± ¡°But it¡¯s a task the Mistress¡¯ had assigned,¡± Hearing that, Jiang Yu¡¯s expression suddenly changed, and his tone turned cold ¡°Who sent you here?¡± He was only here to cultivate, yet someone was actively looking for trouble with him! Could it be that those people did not get along with him before? Jiang Yu thought about it. It was logical. They did not harbor their hate for him in just one or two days. However, he now had the ability to counterattack! The bodyguards were shocked by his question. Who would dare stay after that? So they turned around and ran. Jiang Yu suddenly felt bored. He shrugged and didn¡¯t chase after them. He turned to look at the bodyguard whose arm was broken by him and couldn¡¯t help but sigh. He did not know if he was too strong or if the bodyguards were too weak. ¡°You guys take him to the hospital. Put the cost on my tab.¡± At the same time, Lin Lin, who was hiding in the dark, watched the whole scene. A trace of viciousness flashed across her eyes before she quietly left. She didn¡¯t expect that guy to become so powerful. It seemed that it would be difficult to deal with him in the future. ¡°Butler, go and arrange it! I want the strongest fitness equipment and send them all to the villa.¡± Since he was going to inherit the family property when he returned, he might as well continue cultivating here! The butler hurriedly nodded and went outside the room. He nervously called Father Jiang to report the situation. ¡°Mr. Jiang, the Young Master has become very powerful now. He can send several bodyguards flying with his bare hands. He has rented the villa for a year and plans to stay here forever.¡± The other side was silent for a long time before he asked in a towering voice, ¡°What? Do you think that kid can send a few retired bodyguards of the special forces flying with his bare hands? Are you working with that kid to lie to me?!¡± The butler hurriedly explained, ¡°I really didn¡¯t, Mr. Jiang. The Young Master is indeed very capable now. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can ask the other bodyguards. One of them has already been sent to the hospital.¡± This time, Mr. Jiang had nothing to say. He could not imagine. His boy was so skinny after all. If anything, a bodyguard could beat him up in one punch. How did his son become so powerful? Impossible! Father Jiang thought about it and still felt that it was not very credible, but he was also worried. What if this kid really had some skills and ran away? ¡°Don¡¯t let that kid run away. I¡¯ll come over and see for myself! I want to see how capable he is.¡± After hanging up the phone, the butler immediately contacted the lady boss of the equipment store. ¡°What? You said that the Young Master needs the strongest fitness equipment?¡± The other party was naturally surprised, but she quickly recovered and said calmly, ¡°Okay. As long as the Young Master is happy, I¡¯ll arrange them immediately.¡± Although she was shocked, wouldn¡¯t she earn money? The Lady Boss quickly went to make the arrangements. The butler returned to the house with trepidation. At this time, the house was much quieter. The bodyguards who had come to cause trouble had also left. ¡°What took you so long?¡± The butler was shocked. He explained, ¡°I¡¯ve just finished discussing the matter with the equipment owner. Everything¡¯s in order.¡± Jiang Yu nodded and asked everyone to leave. He then cultivated alone in his room. The feng shui here was much better than the ones in the city. He could even feel the natural mountain air surrounding him and slowly flowing into his body. [Host, you¡¯re amazing to think of such a cultivation method!] The system had not expected this method to be effective, although it was only a little bit more effective than usual. ¡°That¡¯s right. Your host is very smart. Cultivating here is much more efficient than taking your pills.¡± The system praised him repeatedly and took out some pills. [With such a good condition, host, don¡¯t forget to take the pill. You will achieve twice the effect with half the effort.] He still had to eat. Jiang Yu was a little reluctant, but since he didn¡¯t feel any burden taking the pill, he¡¯ll just do it. He grabbed a handful of pills and stuffed them into his mouth. The next morning, the system issued a new mission. [Mission: Reaching the first level of body tempering within 24 hours. If you complete the task, you will receive the body tempering technique. If you fail, you will receive the body tempering pill x99] Jiang Yu¡¯s lips twitched, ¡°How powerful is the first level of Body Tempering?¡± The system was constantly giving him missions. Wasn¡¯t it afraid that he would explode and die from overtraining? The System happily spun around and explained, [To summarize, it¡¯s very powerful! It¡¯s probably equivalent to¡­ A fighting champion.] ¡®Could this system have a physical body for me to beat up?¡¯ Jiang Yu wondered. Becoming a fighting champion in a day? It must be dreaming! How many people had trained for over ten years but couldn¡¯t reach that realm? ¡°I won¡¯t do it! Your mission is too unreasonable!¡± If this continued, he did not want to complete the mission at all. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 7 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Jiang Yu felt that there was an obvious bug in this system setting. The mission was ridiculous, and the punishment for failing the mission¡­ It was more like a reward. Moreover¡­ Was the system planning to give him a 999-gold Body Refinement Pill after he failed the mission? It was impossible for him to reach the first level in a day by training alone. With his environment, it was impossible for him to break through even if he consumed 99 Body Refinement Pills to repeat the previous method. He had to keep taking pills. Those pills didn¡¯t have any taste, and they didn¡¯t fill his stomach. He could eat as much as he wanted. Did that mean that he only needed to eat to complete his cultivation?! Jiang Yu immediately felt the solution was extremely ridiculous. The system knew what he was thinking and it flapped its wings proudly. [You only need to eat to cultivate. How good is that? Everybody could do so!] ¡°So boring,¡± Jiang Yu waved his hand, ¡°Don¡¯t give me such missions next time. I don¡¯t have the motivation to complete them at all.¡± Because if he failed the mission, he could cultivate more easily. Doesn¡¯t that mean, doing nothing was the better way? He didn¡¯t want to be a loser! Otherwise, his father would take him back to inherit the family business. The system didn¡¯t care about this. It was only responsible for setting the mission. [Don¡¯t worry, host. If you don¡¯t complete it, you still must do the punishment. If you refuse to execute it, an accident will befall you.] ¡°What accident?¡± Jiang Yu¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°You don¡¯t want my life, do you?¡± When he read in the past, he had seen many examples of people who had to exchange their lives for failed missions. Even if it was not their lives, it could be something they held dear. In short, there was no free lunch in the world. Everyone understood the meaning of this sentence. [Of course, it¡¯s to force the host to consume 999 Body Tempering Pills!] ¡®¡­¡¯ Alright, he had nothing to say about this punishment. It made him lose the motivation to continue cultivating. However, Jiang Yu still took the Body Tempering Pill in the end. The process was the same as the previous few times. He failed continuously and was rewarded with pills. However, he still hadn¡¯t reached the first stage of Body Tempering Realm. At this time, the fitness equipment he wanted had also been delivered to the villa. In the morning, Jiang Yu was very disappointed after using all the fitness equipment. This was because the equipment was too simple for him. No matter how he trained, he would not feel tired at all. Then what was the meaning of training? Wasn¡¯t the point in training to break through one¡¯s limits bit by bit? Therefore, he couldn¡¯t use these fitness equipments to train his body! [Host, increasing your strength is the same as tempering your body. Perhaps you can try other methods.] Since his mission was to increase his strength, then running was obviously not that fruitful. ¡°Increasing my strength?¡± This was the first time the system had explained to him. Jiang Yu came to the side of the rockery and punched it heavily. The rockery shattered instantly. ¡°This is the strength you were talking about, right? How am I supposed to train? I¡¯m already very strong now.¡± Jiang Yu rubbed his wrist and didn¡¯t feel any pain. Seeing this, the system fell silent. All along, it had neglected a problem. At this time, there was no recovery of spiritual power, so it was easy to shatter this object that had no spiritual power. Items without spiritual energy were very fragile and could not bear the burden of body-tempering missions at all. What should the host do now? The system also fell into deep thought. The pill was indeed effective, but to completely transform a person, one still had to rely on oneself. What the two of them did not expect was that a man and a woman were watching all of this from the shadows of the villa. ¡°What happened? I haven¡¯t seen my son for a few days, and he¡¯s already so powerful.¡± Father Jiang was very puzzled. He didn¡¯t believe that the current Jiang Yu could be so powerful. After all, when Jiang Yu was bullied by the hooligans in school, he didn¡¯t have the strength to fight back at all. But now¡­ Smashing a miniature mountain with his bare hands? No matter how one looked at it, this matter was ridiculous. Or was this miniature mountain actually fake? Did everything that happened here was colluded by Jiang Yu, the butler, and Mother Ye? In other words, this miniature mountain could be a cheap replica. If Mother Ye knew what Father Jiang was thinking, she would explain immediately. ¡°This kid is quite powerful. He even broke my rockery. After so many years, no one has laid a hand on my rockery.¡± Although Mother Ye said it with a smile, her heart was not calm. Although she had agreed, the moment she saw the miniature mountain shatter, her heart ached. That decor was not cheap! ¡°Humph! I don¡¯t believe that I¡¯m so good at it!¡± Father Jiang still did not believe it. He looked at the miniature mountain and suddenly rolled up his sleeve to punch it. ¡°Mr. Jiang! What are you doing?!¡± Mother Ye was so frightened that she didn¡¯t even care about her manners. She went forward to check his hand and found that it was already red. ¡°Humph! It¡¯s not broken yet. I¡¯ll try again!¡± He did not believe that he could not even subdue a miniature mountain. However, after a few punches, nothing happened to the decor, yet the man¡¯s fist was already swollen. Just a light touch was enough to hurt him badly. ¡°Aaaaaaah!¡± Father Jiang belatedly sensed the pain and cried out, but he quickly shut his mouth again. He had come secretly, so he could not let his son find out. ¡°Mr. Jiang, I told you that it was a real mountain replica. Ordinary people can¡¯t break it.¡± Mother Ye was even more surprised. Even Father Jiang couldn¡¯t break it, so how could the weak Jiang Yu do it? This was too strange! Could it be that Jiang Yu really cultivated some kind of martial arts? Father Jiang also fell into deep thought. In that case, was there a need for him to let his child go back and inherit the family business? Why not just give him a sum of money and let him start his own company? He was also considering training him. The two of them watched from behind the rockery, neither of them daring to appear before the younger boy. However, just as they were thinking about what to do, Jiang Yu¡¯s voice came from afar. ¡°Don¡¯t hide yourself, I know you are there.¡± In fact, Jiang Yu already knew when the two of them appeared near the rockery. However, he only knew that someone was watching nearby. It was only when Father Jiang let out a cry of pain that Jiang Yu was sure that his father had come. Jiang Yu felt a headache coming on when he thought of the things he had argued with him about inheriting the family business at home. ¡°Dad, I¡¯ve already made everything clear to you. I don¡¯t want to inherit the family business!¡± Now that Mother Ye was still by his side, he didn¡¯t want to talk about the college entrance examination scores for the time being, lest others see him as a joke. Father Jiang said earnestly, ¡°Jiang Yu, we¡¯ve been through this before. Inheriting the family business is your best choice. No matter what job you take up in the future, it won¡¯t be as comfortable as working in your own company.¡± Jiang Yu¡¯s ears were about to get calluses from hearing such words again. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 8 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation In the past, when he was studying, his father always told him not to apply to university. He had indeed stayed behind, but he was naturally unwilling. But this time, Jiang Yu didn¡¯t reply. He just continued to clench his fists, looking unhappy. [Host, do you want to go back with him?] The system asked, [If you do, you won¡¯t be able to cultivate. According to my analysis, the office workers here are very busy and don¡¯t have time to exercise. So if you leave, what will happen to me?] The system said very sadly, causing Jiang Yu to feel a chill in his heart. He hadn¡¯t said anything yet! What nonsense is this system talking about? ¡°Shut up!¡± Father Jiang immediately shut his mouth when he saw Jiang Yu shouting into the air. As expected, he was still unwilling. Father Jiang sighed. His expression was a little hesitant as if he was a little guilty, ¡°Are you still complaining about my results?¡± His college entrance examination results¡­ If he hadn¡¯t come into contact with the system, he might have been furious because of it. But now, he had the system and was cultivating. Everything would be different in the future! ¡°No,¡± Jiang Yu lightly said, ¡°The results from that paper did not have any great significance, but it represents my own learning results at a stage, and cannot determine my life.¡± Just like what his father had done, even if he replaced his own test papers, he would have more than one option of returning home and inheriting the family business. However, these words took on a different meaning in Father Jiang¡¯s ears. He thought that his son had thought things through. Father Jiang was in a good mood and quickly urged, ¡°Yes, grades aren¡¯t that important in life. Don¡¯t be discouraged if you don¡¯t do well this time.¡± From that sentence alone, Jiang Yu concluded that this was his father¡¯s own doing. How could he still have the face to persuade him? If the results were not important, why would he replace the papers? Did he think that he wouldn¡¯t connect the dots? Jiang Yu didn¡¯t say anything, but his expression darkened. Father Jiang seemed to have not noticed at all and continued, ¡°Since you can only go to a junior college now, why don¡¯t you consider coming back to inherit the family property? You can learn a lot, much more than you can learn in a junior college¡­¡± BANG! Suddenly, Jiang Yu¡¯s fist smashed into a mountain replica, and the decor instantly turned into a pile of gravel. Father Jiang and Mother Ye were shocked. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Father Jiang¡¯s heart trembled. He was frightened by his own son! Jiang Yu didn¡¯t answer the question but instead, ¡°You can try to continue what you said just now.¡± Family property, family property, family property! Was the only word in his life¡¯s dictionary the family property? Didn¡¯t he know that his child should have his own life? Father Jiang didn¡¯t understand what he meant. He deliberated and continued, ¡°There are many benefits to inheriting the family property. Our family is very strong. As long as you agree to inherit it, you will be able to stand at the peak of your life¡­¡± Another ¡°bang¡± was heard as Jiang Yu smashed another miniature mountain. Uhm¡­ Father Jiang swallowed his saliva and spoke again, ¡°There are so many benefits. Aren¡¯t you going to consider it?¡± With that, another miniature mountain was destroyed. This time, Father Jiang finally understood. If he tried to persuade him, a miniature mountain would suffer. Moreover, the butler did not lie to him. The current Jiang Yu had become very powerful and was different from the thin and weak kid he used to be. For a moment, Father Jiang didn¡¯t know whether he should feel gratified or bitter. His child had grown up and had his own thoughts. He could stand on his own, but he no longer needed his protection. Father Jiang finally stopped talking. ¡°How is it? Did I make my intentions clear enough?¡± Jiang Yu snorted coldly. He didn¡¯t say it directly, but he used his actions to express everything he thought. He just didn¡¯t want to go back and inherit the family property. That kind of success came too easily. A planned life was meaningless! ¡°Have you really decided?¡± Father Jiang said helplessly, ¡°You can still think about it. I can stay here for a while. It won¡¯t be too late for me to leave after you¡¯ve thought it through.¡± To put it bluntly, he still had not given up on the idea of letting him inherit. Jiang Yu sneered and smashed another miniature mountain with his fist. ¡°How about this? Is my meaning obvious enough?¡± ¡°Aiyo! Young Master Jiang, a conversation is just a conversation, why do you want to vent your anger on a miniature mountain? Doesn¡¯t your first hurt when you hit it?¡± ¡®If you don¡¯t like me, don¡¯t take them out on my miniature mountains!¡¯ Mother Ye muttered in her heart, not daring to say this sentence out loud. After all, the other party had booked her manor for a year. A miniature mountain was nothing to them. ¡°Do I look like I¡¯m in pain?¡± Jiang Yu shook his fist. His skin was only a little red, but there were no wounds. Mother Ye was even more shocked. His body was like an iron wall. Would he get injured even if he fought like this? ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about this. I¡¯ll compensate you for any damage,¡± Hearing this, Mother Ye was instantly relieved. However, Jiang Yu had booked her villa for a year, so the money he gave her was more than enough. It wouldn¡¯t be a problem for him to move dozens of new rockery! Therefore, Mother Ye immediately arranged for people to move the miniature mountain from the warehouse. At the same time, Father Jiang couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°I earned the money you¡¯re using now. If you don¡¯t come back with me, do you believe that I won¡¯t cut off your funds?¡± ¡°Then cut me off.¡± Jiang Yu shrugged indifferently. It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t care, but he knew that although his father had gone overboard with some things, he had never mistreated him when it came to food, clothing, and accommodation. The old man was just trying to scare him. Moreover, even without financial support from his father, he still had his own little vault. However, no one knew about this, not even his butler. Seeing this, Father Jiang was completely at his wit¡¯s end and could only sigh deeply. ¡°Since you want to stay here, I won¡¯t persuade you. However, if you want to inherit the family property, you can come back anytime.¡± Before he left, he called Mother Ye to the side and reminded her of the things to take note of when taking care of Jiang Yu. Mother Ye realized that this father was quite concerned about his child. However, the two of them could not reach an agreement on inheriting the family property. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Jiang. I¡¯ll take good care of the Young Master.¡± After all, who would go against money? When Father Jiang left, he felt a little regretful, but he was also very gratified. After all, Jiang Yu rarely used his money in the past. He didn¡¯t seem to want his classmates to find out that he was a rich second-generation heir. He ate and dressed like a child from an ordinary family. Recently, he had spent several million to rent this villa. Not bad, not bad. Now that he knows how to use money, he might consider inheriting the family property in the future.

Chapter 9 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Seeing how happy he was, those who didn¡¯t know better would think that he had a happy occasion. However, this might indeed be a good thing for Father Jiang. He was one step closer to his son inheriting the family business. Father Jiang wouldn¡¯t give up the idea of letting Jiang Yu inherit the family property so easily. He only had one precious son. If Jiang Yu didn¡¯t inherit it, then who would? Now that he had just started using money, he did not know how difficult it was to earn money. He would slowly realize that it was very difficult to make a living outside without a family background. Moreover, since his son was staying in this villa, he would go back and buy it! At this moment, Father Jiang did not expect that Jiang Yu would not do what he wanted. How was he planning to work and earn money? He was just using his father¡¯s money to cultivate! If he didn¡¯t cultivate properly, his whole family would suffer a year later. After his father left, Jiang Yu moved to another place to continue cultivating. The butler sent Father Jiang to the entrance of the villa. ¡°Mr. Jiang, are you really letting the young master go?¡± He asked in confusion. ¡°If he doesn¡¯t go back to inherit the family property, then you¡­¡± What about the Jiang family? Mr. Jiang had kept a lot of things from his young master, but the butler still knew a thing or two. The internal situation was not optimistic. The Jiang family had been in the limelight for the past few years and had attracted many people¡¯s attention. Many people were looking forward to something happening to the Jiang family. Recently, the company¡¯s matters had already exhausted Mr. Jiang. He still had to deal with the Young Master¡¯s matters. Thinking of this, the butler sighed, ¡°When can the Young Master be more sensible?¡± In particular, Mr. Jiang had not been in good health recently. In order not to worry the young master, he did not say anything. Young Master probably still thought that his father was healthy. He only hoped that when that day came, the Young Master would not regret it. Father Jiang shook his head, ¡°There¡¯s no rush. He¡¯s only 18. He¡¯s rebellious and frivolous. It¡¯s fine to let him try more things.¡± ¡°Even when he had failed his college entrance examination, he still didn¡¯t want to come back and inherit the family property, then let him go alone first. The Jiang family will always be his solid backup.¡± As he spoke, Father Jiang suddenly coughed heavily, scaring the butler. ¡°Mr. Jiang, you¡­¡± There have been too many things to do in the company recently. Mr. Jiang was so busy that he did not have time to check his body. He did not know if his condition had worsened. ¡°I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s an old problem. I¡¯m taking my medicine,¡± Father Jiang took out a bottle of pills. The bottle was empty. ¡°I can still hold on for a while. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± ¡°Mr. Jiang¡­¡± How could the butler not be worried? Logically speaking, Mr. Jiang¡¯s illness should have been checked every two weeks. He had not been there for two months, and he did not know how his condition had changed. Based on his experience, it would get worse. ¡°Mr. Jiang, no matter what, your health is still more important. You must take care of yourself!¡± The butler tried to persuade him again. Father Jiang waved his hand and did not answer, ¡°Take good care of the Young Master. You don¡¯t have to worry about my matters.¡± Seeing Father Jiang leave, the butler sighed heavily and returned to the villa. At this moment, after Jiang Yu circled around the rockery, he found that there was no place more suitable for cultivation than this place. However¡­ Wasn¡¯t this miniature mountain too fragile? He had no interest in continuing to cultivate using this method. [Host, you should continue practicing. Although these miniature mountains are fragile, you can still use them to shoot.] Huh? If they couldn¡¯t even achieve the effect of training, what was the point of him shooting these rockeries? However, Jiang Yu still smashed all the fake mountains in the villa. He moved very quickly. It seemed that in the time it took to run one lap, the miniature mountain collapsed. The staff members who passed by stopped in their tracks when they saw this. ¡°F*ck, what kind of innate divine power is this? The miniature mountain was heavy and hard. How did he smash it with a single slap?¡± ¡°I want to know too, but he looks so relaxed. I want to try it too. Are these decorative mountains made of foam?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. These are all made of hard rocks. Be careful of your fists getting hurt. The young master of the Jiang family is not an ordinary person.¡± ¡­ Mother Ye had just brought people to move the new miniature mountain out of the warehouse. Seeing that the area where the miniature mountain was originally placed was now only a pile of gravel, her chest ached. ¡°That rich man of the Jiang family really gave birth to a child with unnatural strength¡­¡± Mother Ye couldn¡¯t help but sigh. However, looking at the scattered stones¡­ It was difficult not to feel heartache. As expected, the extra money was not given for nothing. It was all taken back in another way. Jiang Yu stepped forward and said lightly, ¡°I¡¯m going to take a look around,¡± He wanted to see what else was in this villa. According to the system, since these fake mountains had no spiritual energy, he could easily shatter them. Then, were those natural creations different? After leaving the villa, Jiang Yu kept walking up the mountain. When he passed by, he saw many large rocks and trees. He could feel the spiritual energy fluctuations nearby. As expected, ¡°natural objects¡± were more suitable than man-made ones. [Host, you can cultivate here. Don¡¯t forget, you haven¡¯t completed the first level of Body-Tempering Mission yet¡­] The system urged. ¡°If you have the guts, punish me with 9999 Body Tempering Pills.¡± The system was speechless. What should it do? It realized that its host was already fearless. If this continued, it would hinder the progress of its cultivation! ¡°And I¡¯m cultivating. It¡¯s just that I didn¡¯t follow the mission progress you gave me,¡± Jiang Yu said matter-of-factly. [Please proceed according to the progress¡­] The system tried to urge him, but Jiang Yu completely ignored it. The system had no dignity at all! However, the system quickly figured it out. Now was not the best time to cultivate. When it discovered a scene that was rarely seen in a hundred years, it would have to cultivate it according to its host. Walking up the mountain, Jiang Yu noticed a farmhouse. Cheers and laughter came from inside. Out of curiosity, Jiang Yu went over to take a look. However, when he got closer, he heard many curses. ¡°Humph! How did this happen? We were clearly the first to arrive, so how could they chase us out? Can¡¯t we just celebrate there?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. After all, we were classmates. Don¡¯t tell me Jiang Yu doesn¡¯t even know about such things? No wonder no one liked people with no EQ!¡± ¡°We were originally happy to go, but we were chased out. Our good mood for the whole day was ruined. In the end, that guy wanted to rent it for a year. Fortunately, we have this farmhouse, so we can continue to celebrate.¡± ¡­ Weren¡¯t they his classmates? Jiang Yu stood at the door without making a sound or walking in. Lin Xiaoyuan¡¯s expression turned ugly when she heard everyone¡¯s curses. ¡°We¡¯re classmates after all. We should understand that Jiang Yu needs to book the entire villa for something important.¡± Someone immediately retorted, ¡°Yeah, right. We¡¯re classmates. Can¡¯t he just let us finish our celebration before chasing us away?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 10 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Someone continued, ¡°Xiaoyuan, you¡¯re too biased towards Jiang Yu. We were classmates after all, yet he booked such a big villa by himself. He didn¡¯t even invite us in and immediately chased us out. It¡¯s too much. Doesn¡¯t he know that we¡¯re his classmates?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! I think that kid is looking down on us! Humph! Isn¡¯t the college entrance exam just a point? So what if his family was rich?¡± ¡°It¡¯s also fate to go to junior college!¡± Lin Xiaoyuan bit her lips and continued to explain, ¡°Maybe he doesn¡¯t even know that we¡¯re there. After all, it¡¯s the lady boss who came to chase us away, not him¡­¡± After a few rebuttals, the students¡¯ expressions turned ugly. After all, no one wanted their words to be rejected. ¡°Xiaoyuan, why do you always speak up for him? You scored so high, and we¡¯re the ones celebrating for you, not Jiang Yu. He was also the one who chased you out. Why are you still defending him?¡± Lin Lin suddenly said, ¡°And he has nothing to do with you. What¡¯s wrong with us ranting about him? Anyone who experienced the same thing we do would naturally be unhappy!¡± However, Lin Lin knew something more than the rest of her classmates. For some reason, Jiang Yu seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person. His body which was originally as thin as a pole turned into an iron bulk that could even defeat several bodyguards with his bare hands. This was not normal. Could it be that Jiang Yu accidentally obtained a divine medicine? Lin Lin immediately rejected the thought. How could there be any godly medicine in modern society? No matter how powerful technology was, a person couldn¡¯t become so powerful overnight. Lin Lin couldn¡¯t understand and had to investigate this matter when she got home. Lin Xiaoyuan was even more unhappy when she heard that. She was about to speak when she suddenly saw Jiang Yu standing at the door and was momentarily speechless. When did he arrive? They didn¡¯t notice him at all. Moreover, he looked a little handsome today, and his entire body exuded a charming aura. This was something that Lin Xiaoyuan had not noticed before. The current Jiang Yu didn¡¯t seem to have changed much from before, but he seemed to have become completely different. It was as if he had been reborn. ¡°Jiang¡­ Jiang Yu, when did you come?¡± Someone blurted out subconsciously, his face a little pale. After all, they were cursing behind his back. If the person involved saw them, they would feel a little guilty. What if he heard what they said just now? Lin Lin felt even more guilty. When they were still in school, they bullied Jiang Yu many times. Seeing how thin and weak he was, he was a good target to bully. However, after experiencing the incident at the villa, she realized that Jiang Yu¡¯s martial arts were amazing, and he also had an amazing background. She could not afford to offend this person. ¡°I arrived a long time ago,¡± Jiang Yu leaned against the door and said with a faint smile, ¡°Please continue. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± He didn¡¯t expect that he would encounter such a ¡°surprise¡± on his little walk. His old classmates really liked to make up stories about him when he failed the college entrance examination. Yes, he was indeed rich, and he could wait for them to finish their celebration before letting them go. However, it was not wrong for him to disagree. ¡°You¡­¡± His classmate couldn¡¯t put down his face in front of him and said angrily, ¡°Don¡¯t be so smug! It¡¯s just a junior college score. In the future, Xiaoyuan will be much better than you! The few of us are also stronger than you!¡± ¡°What does it have to do with me that you guys are stronger than me?¡±Jiang Yu didn¡¯t care at all. ¡°Scores can¡¯t decide everything. We¡¯re all adults. Shouldn¡¯t you understand this? The college examination plan was determined by your grades, just like a primary school student.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± The man felt as if his face had been slapped and was unable to refute. In the end, he could only spit out a mouthful of spit, but it was more like he was comforting himself. ¡°Humph! So what if you are a rich second-generation heir? You¡¯re just a good-for-nothing playboy without any ability!¡± Jiang Yu only smiled at this. According to his score, he was indeed a playboy. His family was rich, his grades were not good, and he liked to play. However, it was all his father¡¯s fault that his results were so bad¡­ ¡°Alright, my purpose here is not to quarrel with you. I just wanted to tell you after hearing what you said just now.¡± Suddenly, his expression became stern. ¡°I paid for the villa with my own wallet, so everything in the villa for this year is mine. I can do whatever I want. This is my right.¡± Lin Lin¡¯s face turned even uglier. Was this a warning? ¡°I can wait for you to finish celebrating before letting you go. I can also invite you to the villa to celebrate, but if I do, it would be out of kindness. You have no right to criticize me,¡± After saying that, Jiang Yu left without caring about their expressions. When his figure disappeared completely from sight, the others were furious. ¡°That¡¯s Jiang Yu¡¯s attitude! To think that we are still classmates!¡± ¡°Tsk, as expected of a young master. You look at people differently.¡± Lin Lin mocked, ¡°But so what? They were all the assets of his family. He is nothing on his own!¡± Lin Xiaoyuan was speechless. She wasn¡¯t in the mood to eat at this celebration banquet. She really didn¡¯t know what to say when she was classmates with such people. ¡°The villa has already given everyone double the compensation. What else do you want?¡± ¡°I think Jiang Yu is right,¡± Lin Xiaoyuan said softly, ¡°Since he¡¯s paying, the villa has to listen to him. He has no obligation to invite us.¡± When the person at the center of the celebration party spoke, the others were speechless. Or rather, they didn¡¯t know if they should say something. Lin Lin was refuted a few times and finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She confronted Lin Xiaoyuan. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Lin Xiaoyuan, you were chased out by Jiang Yu, yet you¡¯re still defending him. Are you a masochist?¡± Lin Xiaoyuan was so angry that her face turned red. But Lin Lin didn¡¯t stop there, ¡°Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know that you¡¯ve been talking bad about Jiang Yu since the beginning. I think you¡¯ve known his identity since long ago and rushed forward to be a bootlicker! Lin Xiaoyuan, I didn¡¯t expect you to be that kind of person!¡± ¡°Lin Lin, what are you talking about?¡± Lin Xiaoyuan¡¯s chest was burning with rage. ¡°Forget it. I won¡¯t eat. I¡¯ll leave first.¡± She got up and left, and no one stopped her. After Lin Xiaoyuan left, the remaining people looked at Lin Lin¡¯s expression and said uncertainty, ¡°Uhm¡­ Is it okay for her to leave?¡± ¡°Why does it matter? She¡¯s already someone else¡¯s bootlicker. Is there still a need for us to be friends with her?¡± Lin Lin¡¯s smile was full of disdain, ¡°Let¡¯s eat. Let¡¯s not ruin our mood because of her.¡± When they thought about how Lin Xiaoyuan had been speaking up for Jiang Yu, they were in a bad mood. What¡¯s so different between them and Jiang Yu other than being rich? As expected, women were materialistic. They would do anything for money, even abandoning their principles! After Jiang Yu left, he didn¡¯t return to the villa immediately. Instead, he continued to walk deeper into the mountain. What happened just now did not affect his mood at all. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 11 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After all, it was just an unrelated person. Of course, he did not need to take it to heart. Those people used to speak ill of him and spread rumors about him in school. At that time, he was not in the mood to argue with those people. All he wanted was to get good grades and get out of his father¡¯s control. Now that the college entrance examination was over, he had nothing to worry about. He didn¡¯t mind doing something about it if they still insisted on holding onto him. His expression darkened as he recalled his classmates¡¯ behavior. [Aiyo¡­ Host, don¡¯t be angry at those people. After a year, when the spirit energy recovers, those people won¡¯t even live for three days.] The system spoke at the right time, its voice somewhat gloating. ¡°Why do I feel like you¡¯re gloating?¡± Jiang Yu asked, deadpanned. [¡­ No, I¡¯m merely stating my stance with you! Those people are nothing compared to you, host!] The system felt a little awkward. It went along with the host¡¯s words, so it shouldn¡¯t have said anything wrong. ¡°Ignore them,¡± Jiang Yu shook his head helplessly, ¡°On moral grounds, I still hope that they can live longer. Of course, if they want to die early by continuing to provoke me, it¡¯s good for them to die early. Letting them live will be a disaster.¡± [That¡¯s right!] The system spun around happily. As expected of the host it chose, so cool! However, the place they were going to was getting colder and colder. What was the host trying to do? According to its data, wild beasts roam around in the mountains. The host had better not be bitten to death by them. Otherwise, it would have to find another host. Such a powerful host was rarely seen in a hundred years. [Host, what are you looking for? If you are looking for spiritual energy, any place in the mountain will do.] Jiang Yu rolled his eyes, ¡°How come you don¡¯t even know this?¡± [What?] The system asked, confused as to why it was being scolded again. It really didn¡¯t understand what Jiang Yu was trying to do. ¡°Even in the mountains, there is a difference between pure and impure spiritual energy. The further away you are from the crowd, the purer the spiritual energy is, and the more effective your cultivation will be,¡± Jiang Yu explained patiently. For a moment, he did not know whether he should cultivate it himself or the system. However, the system did not seem to be able to cultivate it either. Jiang Yu¡¯s thoughts were wild, but he soon received the system¡¯s retort. [Host! I can cultivate too! I can also increase its level! Don¡¯t underestimate me!] ¡°Then you should cultivate!¡± Jiang Yu suddenly stopped walking. [But not now!] Noticing that Jiang Yu had stopped, the system turned around and followed his line of sight. It actually found a waterfall. The waterfall wasn¡¯t small, and the sound of the water was loud. Jiang Yu also noticed that there was a puddle on the rock below the waterfall. It should have been caused by the strong force of the water. Jiang Yu immediately thought of the cultivation methods in cultivation novels. Meditating under a waterfall was one of them. Perhaps, he could also try this method! Without any hesitation, Jiang Yu immediately followed the stone toward the waterfall. The strength of the water almost threw him into the pool. [Be careful!] Just as the system warned him, Jiang Yu had already arrived at the spot at the bottom of the waterfall. It couldn¡¯t help but break out in a cold sweat for its host. The current was so strong¡­. Could its host¡¯s small body withstand the pressure? However, training under the waterfall was indeed a good way of training. It had originally wanted to explain, but it did not expect its host to be so knowledgeable. It did not even need to explain. As expected, the host it chose was great! Or it was better to say that it was lucky! The system was pleased with itself and then accompanied Jiang Yu to cultivate under the waterfall. Time passed second by second. The waterfall was too strong, and no ordinary person could withstand it. After enduring for three hours, Jiang Yu finally felt a trace of cold pain. [Host! Hang in there! Perseverance is victory!] The system could sense his body¡¯s condition and was a little worried. For Jiang Yu, a beginner-level cultivator, it was not easy for him to persist for three hours. It would be difficult for him to continue. ¡°You don¡¯t have to say it! I know I have to persevere!¡± Jiang Yu gritted his teeth as images raced through his mind. His father was probably waiting for him to go back and inherit the family business and property! He thought about how much effort he had put in just to get out of his father¡¯s cage to come this far. Was he going to give up and go back to listen to fate? No! Absolutely not! He had to fulfill his dream! Even if he couldn¡¯t complete it now, he definitely wouldn¡¯t go back to inherit the family business! Perhaps it was because of his conviction, but he gritted his teeth and persevered. The pain in his back was unbearable, but as long as he endured it¡­ He could feel that he was reaching his limit. As long as he could endure it, he would be able to break through and complete his mission. However, if he wanted to complete the mission, he could also eat that medicinal pill. Moreover, it was much easier than this. As soon as he had this thought, Jiang Yu immediately threw it out of his mind. He absolutely couldn¡¯t be fooled by the system¡¯s punishment! That kind of shortcut may seem powerful, but in reality, it was just for show. He did not want to be such a person! [Host, why don¡¯t you rest first? I feel that your body is in danger now.] The system warned him. [What if something happens to your body?] ¡°Shut up!¡± Jiang Yu gritted his teeth and persevered. Gradually, he felt the numbness on his back and a new force surging out of his body. He was pleasantly surprised. This level of cultivation was about to be completed! He just needed to hold on a little longer¡­ Soon, another half an hour passed. The last point was always difficult to break through, but he could only persevere. When Jiang Yu felt that he was about to succeed, the system¡¯s voice suddenly sounded in his mind. [Failure to break through to the first stage of the Body Tempering realm within 24 hours. Punishment: 9,999 Body Tempering pills.] Jiang Yu felt his entire body relax as he let his body be swept away by the force of the water into the pool. [Host!] Jiang Yu was already tired but didn¡¯t dare to relax for a moment. He quickly swam to the shore, his heart full of anger. ¡°I told you that this system mission was unreasonable!¡± How could he possibly complete the mission so quickly if he did not rely on medicinal pills? Seeing this, the system hurriedly urged, [So, host, you should just take the Body Tempering Pill in peace. It will be more efficient and your body will suffer less.] He lay on the ground and rested for a long time. 9,999 Body Tempering Pills were already placed beside him. This was clearly a ruse for him to eat these medicinal pills by force! Was there really no other way? Jiang Yu suddenly sighed, ¡°I¡¯ve never completed a mission on my own¡­¡± In response, the system comforted him, [Host, that is very normal. In fact, your cultivation speed is considered to be very fast. Even if many people used pills before, they are still not as fast as you.] He was still good? Jiang Yu was a little speechless. He tilted his head to look at those medicinal pills and didn¡¯t care anymore. He immediately sat up, picked up the Body Tempering Pill, and stuffed them into his mouth. The system even considerately moved the medicine over very.

Chapter 12 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation [Hurry up and take them! Take all these pills and you will definitely break through!] Why did it feel like the system was more anxious than he was? Jiang Yu complained in his heart. It took him quite some time to finish eating all 9,999 pills. Soon, Jiang Yu felt as if his body was on fire. So hot that he felt very uncomfortable. His wet clothes were quickly dried by the heat. Not only that, Jiang Yu could even feel¡­ Something was falling off his body. It seemed that the pain brought by the heat was too intense. He did not even feel anything else other than the pain. However, when he looked down, Jiang Yu realized that his clothes had been dyed red. ¡°F*ck! What¡¯s going on?¡± Why did he bleed so much? Jiang Yu suddenly thought of the Qigong Deviation mentioned in one of the novels he read. Could it be that his body couldn¡¯t take it anymore and was about to explode because he had eaten too many Body Tempering Pills? However, the system was calm as it reassured him, [Don¡¯t worry, don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s a Body Tempering Pill. It will temper your body and allow it to undergo a complete transformation. First, it will allow you to change a layer of skin.] ¡®How could you say something like shedding a layer of skin so easily?!¡¯ Jiang Yu screamed in his mind. If the system hadn¡¯t explained, one would¡¯ve thought he was going to die! And this pain¡­ He felt like he was about to die! ¡°You better not be lying to me.¡± Jiang Yu said through gritted teeth. He could feel the taste of blood in his mouth. The entire body was probably skinned, including his face. He wondered if his face would become more handsome after this breakthrough¡­ [Of course! After breaking through, you will become the most handsome man in the world!] The system¡¯s cheerful voice rang out at the wrong time. Jiang Yu¡¯s face was dark, although it was impossible to tell how his expression was now. ¡°You should at least say something practical when you¡¯re flattering.¡± What is the most handsome man in the world? Even if he became more handsome, the title of ¡°best in the world¡± would not fall on him! After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yu felt that all the blood in his body was about to be burned dry. However, the breakthrough was not over yet. He thought that his previous breakthroughs did not last for so long. Was there anything different this time? The pain did not show any signs of abating. Was he really going to die? This was the system¡¯s first encounter with such a situation, and it was extremely shocked. [Could it be¡­ Host, you are experiencing two breakthroughs in a row!] The system was so happy that it did not notice Jiang Yu¡¯s condition. After checking, it realized that he had actually broken through to the first level of the Body Tempering realm. If he wanted to break through now, wouldn¡¯t he be at the second level of Body Tempering? The system started spinning happily again. [Host! Hold on! You¡¯ll be able to break through to Tier 2 soon!] ¡®Hold on my *ss!¡¯ Jiang Yu muttered in his heart. This kind of pain was simply more unbearable than killing him. If not for the fact that he did not want to go back and inherit the family business¡­ Thinking of this, Jiang Yu felt that all the pain didn¡¯t matter anymore. Forget it. The main thing was for him not to go back. He would do anything to prevent that. The blood had been burned dry, and Jiang Yu didn¡¯t even notice that the skin under his clothes had grown out. The only thing he felt was the pain for a long time. The heat in his body slowly decreased until the pain completely disappeared. He raised his hand and saw that his hand was covered in dried blood. He touched his face again, but it was still sticky. ¡°I can¡¯t take this anymore!¡± If he went back like this, not only would it scare the people in the villa, but he would also be sent to the hospital. [Host, calm down! It¡¯s easy to catch a cold after a breakthrough¡­] Jiang Yu didn¡¯t even wait for the system notification to finish before he dove into the pool. Watching Jiang Yu jumping around in the pool, the system suddenly felt that its worries were unnecessary. Forget it, its host was different from ordinary people. Jiang Yu washed the blood off his body and washed his clothes. Then he hung his clothes aside and ran to the waterfall to meditate and cultivate. When he felt the waterfall against his back again, he didn¡¯t feel any pressure at all. Of course, he would still feel the slight tinge of discomfort after sitting for a long time. Looking down at his current skin, Jiang Yu pinched it and found that it seemed to be much tougher than before. [Congratulations, host!] The system quickly came up to praise him, [Breaking through two levels in a row¡­ This has not happened in the cultivation world for a long time.] ¡°It¡¯s all because of the effect of your pill. Other people can also do the same if they eat more medicinal pills¡­¡± Jiang Yu said unhappily. [That might not be the case.] The system quickly denied, [I haven¡¯t seen a physique like yours for many years. It¡¯s impossible for ordinary people to break through two levels in a row.] This time, Jiang Yu¡¯s view of the mission had changed a little. If there were no side effects, perhaps this kind of cultivation was not so bad? The wind in the mountains was very strong, and his clothes were quickly dried. Jiang Yu put them on and went down the mountain to return to the villa. He casually picked a few large rocks by the roadside to test his physical strength and found that it was much higher than before. Not only that, but even his speed had increased significantly. Jiang Yu felt refreshed. ¡°This is great! Give me more missions like this in the future!¡± He had thought it through. Instead of holding on to it, he might as well learn to accept reality. Anyway, it was not that he did not train. The medicinal pills were just to assist him. However, this time, the system did not reply like before. It only said in a serious tone, [Really?] ¡°Yes,¡± Jiang Yu nodded. ¡°What? Is there a problem?¡± [No. But don¡¯t regret it.] He felt that the system¡¯s tone was a little strange. However, since it was his system, it would not harm him. Very soon, Jiang Yu threw this matter to the back of his mind. There weren¡¯t many people on the mountain to begin with, especially now that it was getting late. Jiang Yu was the only one on his way back. However, he did not expect that he would encounter such an incident on such an ordinary road. A man suddenly appeared on the main road and ran forward desperately. When he saw Jiang Yu, his eyes suddenly widened as if he had thought of something. Before Jiang Yu could figure out what the stranger wanted to do, the other party had already come behind him and aimed the gun at his neck. ¡°Don¡¯t move! Cover for me, and I¡¯ll let you go after I successfully get rid of the police.¡± At this moment, a group of people in blue and white uniforms appeared in front of the main road. ¡°Put down your weapons! Don¡¯t make meaningless struggles!¡± Jiang Yu instantly reacted. So this person was a fugitive. ¡°You want me to help you escape arrest? What crime have you committed?¡± The man pointed the gun at his neck, ¡°Don¡¯t be nosy! Help me leave! Otherwise, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Jiang Yu didn¡¯t say anything. He just curled his lips and sent the gun flying with one hand. At the same time, before the man could react, he knocked him to the ground and grabbed his arms, making him unable to move. ¡°You!¡± How could that person expect him to know kung fu? ¡°Humph! It¡¯s a pity that you¡¯re unlucky. You¡¯d better go back to the police station and explain yourself!¡± The police thanked him for his help and took the criminal away. At this moment, Jiang Yu also thought of something else. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 13 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The cultivators in novels seemed to have weapon bonuses, so why was he barehanded? Jiang Yu suddenly remembered that the reward for a mission he had previously was the sword control technique! Whoa, there was already a tutorial. Why didn¡¯t he hurry up and get a sword to practice with?! Otherwise, it would be a waste! However¡­ In today¡¯s society, swords had basically never been blessed. Furthermore, there were too many inferior swords. The material used was not pure, so how could one cultivate well with it? It seemed that it was not easy to get a good sword. [Host, return home first. It¡¯s getting late. The Yin energy in the forest is heavy, and it¡¯s not good for your body that has yet to cultivate.] The system began to urge him. ¡°What kind of theory is that? I¡¯m already at the second level of the Body Refinement Realm, why would I be afraid of this little bit of Yin energy?¡± Jiang Yu laughed softly. However, it was indeed time to go back. There was no signal in the mountains, so he couldn¡¯t contact anyone. The people in the villa would probably be worried. Moreover, it was not easy to stay in the mountains at night. It wouldn¡¯t be easy to leave. He did not want to get lost here either. With those thoughts in mind, Jiang Yu quickened his pace and planned to reach the villa before dark. However, in reality, he was still not fast enough. The sky was already dark, and Jiang Yu was still some distance away from reaching the villa. However, even if it was night, it would not affect his movements, nor would he get lost. Jiang Yu continued to walk when suddenly, he heard a girl crying. It was especially terrifying in the dark night. ¡°Is there a female ghost in the mountains at night?¡± Jiang Yu¡¯s imagination has started to run wild. He had watched a lot of horror movies in the past. Usually, the scene would start with a girl crying. And it was terrifyingly similar to this sound. Could¡­ Could the female ghost be targeting him? The more Jiang Yu thought about it, the more creepy he felt. [Host! You¡¯re cultivating right now! What are you afraid of ghosts and evil spirits?] The System knew what its host was thinking and quickly gave him courage. [Use your abilities to defeat those ghosts!] This reminded Jiang Yu of his current situation He had just started cultivating. When he encountered danger, he would still subconsciously treat himself as the weak young master. However, he was different from before. He was a cultivator. Not only did he not need to be afraid of those who bullied him, but he also did not need to be afraid of ghosts! ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go over and take a look.¡± People were afraid of ghosts, but they had never seen a ghost before. This time, he wanted to see what a real ghost looked like. He walked towards the source of the sound, one step at a time, closer and closer. However, when he peeled off the leaves, he saw a girl sitting on a rock. The girl¡¯s disheveled hair made her look like a ghost. Jiang Yu swallowed unconsciously and said as usual, ¡°Uhm¡­ What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Could it really be a female ghost? When the girl heard him, her entire body stiffened for a moment. Then, she raised her head and said in disbelief, ¡°Jiang Yu, why are you still here?!¡± This time, Jiang Yu was also shocked. The person crying in the mountains at night was none other than his classmate, Lin Xiaoyuan! But wasn¡¯t she with Lin Lin? Why is she here alone? ¡°Where are Lin Lin and the others?¡± Jiang Yu asked. ¡°Weren¡¯t you with them? Or did they leave you here?¡± If it was the latter, then it was too much! ¡°No,¡± Lin Xiaoyuan said embarrassedly, ¡°I had some conflict with them. I didn¡¯t eat with them and left first. In the end, I couldn¡¯t recognize the roads in the mountains at all. I even sprained my ankle and got stuck in the crack of the rocks. I couldn¡¯t pull it out no matter how hard I tried, so I¡­¡± Lin Xiaoyuan wanted to cry again, but she was too embarrassed to continue crying with Jiang Yu in front of her. She and Jiang Yu weren¡¯t really familiar with each other. They were just acquaintances before. However, Lin Xiaoyuan knew Jiang Yu¡¯s personality. He wasn¡¯t someone who was willing to meddle in other people¡¯s business. Besides, she was with the group of people who slandered him today. Although she spoke up for him, it was not a big deal. Jiang Yu was now the young master of the Jiang family. With his background, he probably wouldn¡¯t help her. Jiang Yu did remained silent. He remembered that when he was in school, he had been studying hard to get a good score. He had very little relationship with his classmates, including Lin Xiaoyuan. However, he could help her now. Since she was already here, why not? Lin Xiaoyuan noticed that the man¡¯s eyes were fixed on the huge rock and never looked at her face. This surprised her but also made her feel a little inexplicably disappointed. She was surprised because he was willing to help her, and disappointed because¡­ Because she actually couldn¡¯t attract him! She had many suitors in the entire school, but this man didn¡¯t even look at her! On second thought, Lin Xiaoyuan felt that this outcome was very logical. He was the young master, after all. What kind of beauty had he not seen before? In the past, he had only kept a low profile in class. ¡°Don¡¯t move,¡± While she was in a daze, Jiang Yu suddenly reached out his hand to the stone, as if he was going to move it away. ¡°Hey!¡± Lin Xiaoyuan was shocked, ¡°Don¡¯t move it as you please. This rock is very heavy. Be careful not to hurt yourself!¡± Boys were indeed stronger than girls, but that difference was not worth mentioning in front of this stone. She had tried her best but was unable to pull her ankle. It wouldn¡¯t be easy for Jiang Yu to move this stone. However, Jiang Yu ignored her and easily moved the stone away. ¡°You¡­¡± Lin Xiaoyuan didn¡¯t know what to say. To be precise, she was so shocked that she couldn¡¯t say anything else. This was because Jiang Yu seemed to have easily moved the rock away without even a wrinkle of exertion on his face. This¡­ If it wasn¡¯t for his innate divine strength, he really didn¡¯t know how to explain it. ¡°Can you still walk?¡± Lin Xiaoyuan had twisted her ankle. It didn¡¯t hurt that much. Of course, it still hurt a little when she walked. However, at the moment, she had no choice but to walk on her own. She couldn¡¯t let Jiang Yu carry her, right? ¡°It¡¯ll work.¡± After walking for what felt like two days, they arrived at the main mountain road. Lin Xiaoyuan bowed deeply to Jiang Yu, ¡°I¡¯m sorry for what happened earlier today. I apologize on behalf of my classmate.¡± They had said so many outrageous things today, but Jiang Yu didn¡¯t take it to heart. This apology was what he deserved. But Jiang Yu didn¡¯t seem to care about this. He just shook his head, ¡°That¡¯s what they did. It has nothing to do with you.¡± ¡°But we¡¯re classmates.¡± If they hadn¡¯t come together to celebrate for her, none of this would have happened. ¡°Hmph!¡± Jiang Yu snorted coldly, ¡°We¡¯ve already graduated. We¡¯re no longer classmates,¡± Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyuan felt inexplicably uncomfortable. Did he mean that they were no longer classmates? So¡­ In the future, would he also have nothing to do with her? ¡°Since we¡¯re not classmates, don¡¯t worry about it. Let¡¯s go.¡± But Lin Xiaoyuan still insisted, ¡°This matter started because of me. I¡¯m qualified to take responsibility.¡± If it weren¡¯t for this celebration banquet, all the friction wouldn¡¯t have happened.

Chapter 14 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Seeing this, Jiang Yu looked at her meaningfully. In his impression, Lin Xiaoyuan was a good student who never participated in any disputes. She was also the type that teachers liked. Of course, it was also because of this that she would be used by some people with ulterior motives. For example, her so-called classmates. Jiang Yu thought for a moment and said, ¡°Lin Xiaoyuan, I¡¯ve already said that this matter has nothing to do with you. You don¡¯t have to apologize on their behalf. Besides, I won¡¯t accept their mistake if they don¡¯t apologize personally. Don¡¯t mention this matter again.¡± To put it bluntly, Lin Xiaoyuan was too kind. She was easily coerced and exploited by others. It was also a very tiring life. However, he did not say these words to her face. The relationship between the two of them was not that close. Lin Xiaoyuan bit her lips and did not mention this matter again. ¡°It¡¯s very late now. Do you mind staying at the villa for the night? If you¡¯re unwilling, I can send someone to send you down the mountain.¡± Jiang Yu thought that it wasn¡¯t safe for a girl to stay in the mountains at night. He couldn¡¯t possibly leave her alone after helping her. ¡°Actually, I can, but it¡¯s better not to trouble others. It¡¯s more convenient to stay in the villa. I¡¯ll go back by myself tomorrow morning.¡± It was not easy to walk on the mountain road at night. If she asked someone to send her back at this time, wouldn¡¯t she be causing more trouble for others? ¡°It¡¯s okay. You can do whatever you want.¡± Jiang Yu said lightly, but Lin Xiaoyuan didn¡¯t continue. The two of them walked together and gradually talked about their past in school. ¡°I remember that you didn¡¯t have much strength in school. You were even weaker than ordinary boys. How did you move that stone away today?¡± Although he was unwilling to admit it, he was indeed a weak man in the past. ¡°The college entrance examination is over, so I chose to train in my free time,¡± Jiang Yu tried his best to keep his tone calm, ¡°Besides, people can change. I¡¯ve become stronger. Is there a problem?¡± ¡°But your change is too fast¡­ Even weightlifters don¡¯t have as much strength as you,¡± Lin Xiaoyuan said softly. ¡°What did you say?¡± Jiang Yu sighed in his heart. What kind of life did he live in the past? So this was the image he had in the hearts of his classmates. But it didn¡¯t matter. He had already graduated. What image he had in everyone¡¯s eyes in the past was no longer important. ¡°Ah, nothing.¡± Lin Xiaoyuan hurriedly changed her words and said what she had always wanted to say, ¡°Then do you plan to repeat the exam? I can tutor you. You¡¯ll definitely get good grades next year.¡± His low score was not because he did not perform well, but because his d*mned father secretly changed the test papers! If he took the exam again next year, his father would definitely do the same thing again. Moreover, it was hard to say what the situation would be like a year later. What would happen to the world when the spirit energy recovered? ¡°No, I plan to stay in this villa for a year. As for what I¡¯ll be doing this year, I can¡¯t tell you for the time being,¡± said Jiang Yu truthfully. ¡°What? Are you giving up just like that?¡± Lin Xiaoyuan asked in disbelief. Soon, she realized that she had lost her composure and quickly backtracked. ¡°T-that¡¯s good. Just do what you want.¡± She was just an outsider and had no right to make decisions for him. ¡°That¡¯s not because I can do whatever I want.¡± Jiang Yu smiled bitterly. ¡°My father is still forcing me to go back and inherit the family business. He¡¯s the reason why I failed the college entrance examination this time.¡± Was it because of his family that he was acting abnormally? Lin Xiaoyuan thought so naively and comforted him lightly, ¡°It¡¯s okay. You won¡¯t be affected by them when you move out later.¡± This time, Jiang Yu still smiled without saying a word. She was really a people pleaser. Lin Xiaoyuan was also a little puzzled, ¡°Why don¡¯t you want to inherit the family business? It sounds like a good thing.¡± How many people wished that they could inherit billions of assets? That was something that others could not achieve in their entire lives. ¡°That kind of life is meaningless to me. Is my life already arranged since I was born?¡± Jiang Yu asked very seriously. ¡°These properties will only hinder my dreams. I don¡¯t want to inherit them.¡± Lin Xiaoyuan looked at him seriously again. Jiang Yu was only turning 18 this year. He didn¡¯t expect that he would think so much more deeply than other people. However, Lin Xiaoyuan was quite open-minded about his ideals. ¡°Think about it carefully. Will you be happy to inherit the family business? If you¡¯re unhappy, you should leave. If you are happy, then you should inherit them. Why would you burden your life with worries? Being happy is the most important thing.¡± Jiang Yu was very surprised by her thoughts. In this era, there were not many people who had such views. Although it was fine as long as they were happy, most people had many concerns and could not say such words. Lin Xiaoyuan actually¡­ ¡°I know what I¡¯m thinking,¡± Jiang Yu answered simply. He had a headache when he thought of his father¡¯s stubborn way of thinking. If only his father was as open-minded as her. As if this topic was too heavy, Lin Xiaoyuan didn¡¯t continue the current topic and started chatting with Jiang Yu about daily life. Jiang Yu was quite adept at doing ordinary things. The system was hidden in the young man¡¯s body and kept wanting to interrupt, but it didn¡¯t have the guts. Especially when it saw its host chatting so happily with Lin Xiaoyuan¡­ The system was already starting to worry. Could she be a temptress? Finally, the two of them arrived at the villa. Jiang Yu saw the butler at the door, looking around anxiously. It wasn¡¯t until he saw Jiang Yu that he heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly greeted him, ¡°Young Master, you¡¯re finally back! I was so worried!¡± There was no signal in the mountains, so he couldn¡¯t contact his young master. The only thing he could do was to wait anxiously. ¡°Do I look like someone who would get into trouble so easily?¡± Jiang Yu snorted. ¡°Go and arrange a room. We have a guest staying over tonight.¡± Hmm? It was then that the butler just noticed Lin Xiaoyuan¡¯s presence. Many thoughts entered the elder man¡¯s mind. This was the first time the Young Master had brought a woman back. Could there be something¡­ Perhaps¡­ If the young master had a girlfriend he would want to inherit the family business. Therefore, the butler did not suggest sending Lin Xiaoyuan home. After Lin Xiaoyuan settled down, she felt that she was the inexperienced one there. She used to think that Jiang Yu needed tutoring or something. Now, it seemed that his family was so rich, so why would they need her? ¡°You can do whatever you want in the villa. I¡¯ll go and get busy first.¡± Jiang Yu left after giving his instructions. After Lin Xiaoyuan had finished washing up, she felt curious and began to wander around the villa. She had not taken a good look at the scenery of the villa before. She accidentally came to the hot spring pool in the villa. From afar, she could see a man sitting in the middle of the hot spring. Lin Xiaoyuan thought that she had seen something wrong. How could an ordinary person sit like that in the middle of the water? At this moment, Jiang Yu was meditating and cultivating in the middle of the water. The hot spring was natural and was a good place for cultivation. It was much more comfortable than the cold waterfall during the day.

Chapter 15 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation [Host, if we had known that there was such a good place to cultivate here, we wouldn¡¯t have had to make another trip to the mountain. Why would we have to suffer?] [This hot spring is in the villa. It¡¯s natural, comfortable, and pure. It¡¯s really a good place to cultivate!] Jiang Yu frowned slightly and impatiently said, ¡°Can you stop talking?¡± Wasn¡¯t cultivation all about silence? Why was the system talking non-stop? Wasn¡¯t it worried that something would happen to his cultivation? [I¡¯m just afraid that you¡¯ll be bored. That¡¯s why I¡¯m here to help you relieve your boredom.] The system was so happy that it seemed to be dancing with joy. Jiang Yu couldn¡¯t be bothered with it and continued to cultivate by himself. As his body¡¯s strength became stronger and stronger, the water gradually rose with him as the center. Very good. Jiang Yu chuckled and continued his training. Little did he know that Lin Xiaoyuan, who had accidentally walked in, had seen everything. She was stunned. This¡­ Would the hot spring in the villa create such a big splash? Then Jiang Yu was now¡­ Seeing that Jiang Yu¡¯s entire body was about to be submerged in the water, Lin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t stay still anymore. She rushed over and planned to go into the water to save Jiang Yu. ¡°Jiang Yu!¡± However, when she approached the edge of the springs, she was swept by the surging water. Jiang Yu suddenly came back to his senses from his cultivation. When he saw Lin Xiaoyuan struggling in the water, he quickly caught her. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Jiang Yu panted heavily after his cultivation was interrupted. His entire body was still burning hot. Why did this woman come here? If he had known earlier, he would have asked someone to guard the door. It was not a good thing to be interrupted in cultivation. Just like in many cultivation novels, if one¡¯s cultivation was interrupted, one would go berserk. ¡°I¡­¡± Lin Xiaoyuan was at a loss for words as she was held in the man¡¯s arms. It took her a long time to react and she said anxiously, ¡°Are you alright? Just now, the w-water reached so high¡ª¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Jiang Yu didn¡¯t know how to explain himself. He couldn¡¯t tell her that he was cultivating. ¡°Then what happened just now was¡­¡± Lin Xiaoyuan was very confused, but when she saw Jiang Yu¡¯s expression, she vaguely felt that she had messed up. She shouldn¡¯t have barged in. Thinking of this, Lin Xiao lowered her head and said in embarrassment, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Although I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re doing, I¡¯m sorry for disturbing you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Jiang Yu sighed. She had to go back tomorrow, anyway. There was no need to explain some things to her. But now¡­ Lin Xiaoyuan realized that she was still in the man¡¯s arms. The two of them were very close to each other. Their clothes were wet, and their graceful figures were faintly discernible. She was only eighteen, but her body was fully developed. Her mature body coupled with her youth was a different kind of temptation to men. However, Jiang Yu had no interest in these things at the moment. He calmly sent her to the edge and followed her to the ground. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll get the butler to get you a set of clothes.¡± As soon as Jiang Yu came up, his muscular chest appeared in front of Lin Xiaoyuan. She was stunned and her face turned red. He looked very thin in his clothes before, but she didn¡¯t expect him to have such a good figure¡­ ¡°Hey! Stay awake!¡± Jiang Yu shook her. He didn¡¯t seem to have that much charisma. Why was this woman staring at him in a daze today? ¡°¡­ Ah, okay.¡± Thinking of her reaction just now, Lin Xiaoyuan¡¯s face turned even redder. She was actually smitten with her classmate! After arranging Lin Xiaoyuan, Jiang Yu returned to his room and started browsing the system store. Now that he was already at the second level of the Body Refinement realm, the things in the mall should have changed. ¡°There are many things that have been added. You can take a good look and add some equipment.¡± At this moment, the system was like a warm reminder: [You can take a look at the new cultivation technique.] Cultivation techniques? This is a good thing. Jiang Yu quickly browsed through it and took a fancy to the meditation technique at a glance. ¡°This is it!¡± He had always been quite interested in meditation. The books had written that it could be cultivated just by sleeping. He wanted to see what kind of thing it was. After purchasing it, Jiang Yu immediately began meditating. It was already very late, and it was time to go to bed. The system couldn¡¯t help but sigh, [My host knows how to improve. He doesn¡¯t need me to urge him at all.] This was much better than its previous hosts. Jiang Yu tried his best to calm himself down. Soon, he grasped the gist. ¡­ The next day, Jiang Yu was woken up by the butler. He had meditated for almost the entire night. He did not do much, but he was still very tired. ¡°Young Master, there¡¯s an old Daoist priest outside the door. He said that he wants to go to the hot spring to take a look no matter what¡­¡± How did he attract the Daoist priest? ¡°No,¡± Jiang Yu¡¯s heart tightened. ¡°However, that old Daoist priest is very old. We don¡¯t dare to force him to leave¡­¡± What if he was injured? What would happen if they were scammed? Jiang Yu pondered for a while and decided to get up and check the situation. Over at the hot spring¡­ He had taken a lot of pills yesterday. Could it be that the Daoist priest had sensed something and decided to come over? ¡°System, do you think there are other cultivators in this world?¡± The world was so big, so it was not impossible for more cultivators to exist. [Of course there is.] The System said indifferently, [However, these Immortal Cultivators definitely can¡¯t compare to you. Their talent is too different from the Postnatal Realm.] He had taken a lot of pills in the hot spring yesterday, so his aura should not have dissipated yet. If the Daoist priest came over¡­ He would definitely sense something. Jiang Yu really couldn¡¯t figure out what would happen when he arrived at the bottom of the sea. ¡°What are the grades of the pills in the store?¡± If the Daoist priest had come here for the medicinal pill¡­Then what should he do? These medicinal pills were easy to obtain for him, but what about others? Jiang Yu realized that he had never considered this question before. The system snorted and said disdainfully, [Those are all very good medicinal pills. Even the lowest-grade medicinal pills can be regarded as divine pills by local cultivators!] Jiang Yu more or less understood how big the gap was. ¡°Then is it very difficult for them to obtain such a medicinal pill?¡± [What else?] The system said angrily. [The rarer something was, the more valuable it was. If it was very easy to obtain, those people would not treat this kind of low-level medicinal pill as a divine pill.] And it was precisely this kind of low-level pill that could be bought in such a simple way in the system store, and there were quite a number of them. Not only that, if he failed the mission, he would be ¡°punished¡± with many crystals. What kind of system was this? [I¡¯m just an ordinary cultivation system.] The system said calmly, [Please don¡¯t worship me too much. I¡¯ll be embarrassed.] Jiang Yu had to admit that his system was indeed something. [To them, medicinal pills that are very hard to come by are being distributed to me like water. Really¡­] Jiang Yu didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment. He could only say that his system was very bold. [That¡¯s why you have to thank me for letting you enjoy so many good resources.] The system reminded him, [You have to cultivate well!] If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 16 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Jiang Yu didn¡¯t reply. Was he not diligent enough? ¡°Then give me more missions. Didn¡¯t I say this to you before too? Give me more missions like this.¡± Not only did it not receive any praise, but it also seemed to have been reprimanded by its host. The system was unhappy, [Host, you have to be grateful. Not everyone can have a good system like me.] As they chatted, Jiang Yu arrived at the entrance of the villa and saw an old man standing at the gate. Despite the old man¡¯s tattered clothes, they did not conceal his sage-like aura. This was¡­ [He should be considered one of the more powerful ones in the local cultivation world.] The system could tell at a glance and let out a disdainful laugh. [Although his aptitude is not bad, his luck is not good. He has never found the right method and has only reached this realm in his entire life.] ¡°What realm?¡± Jiang Yu asked. Actually, he could see it too, but he just had to ask the system to be sure. [You know the answer, yet you still asked me.] The System grumbled, [In short, it¡¯s much worse than yours.] At this moment, the old man still refused to leave, no matter how the bodyguards persuaded him. ¡°Daoist priest, this villa has been booked by our young master. Without his permission, no one is allowed to enter.¡± ¡°Then call your young master over! You¡¯re talking to the King of the Realm!¡± ¡°Sir, if you weren¡¯t an old man, we would have attacked you long ago!¡± ¡­ Hearing the commotion at the door getting louder, Jiang Yu spoke in time, ¡°Stop! Why are you making so much noise? Don¡¯t forget that you¡¯re the Jiang family¡¯s bodyguard. If anything happens to me, you¡¯ll embarrass the Jiang family!¡± The bodyguards immediately fell silent and the Daoist¡¯s gaze was instantly drawn to Jiang Yu. ¡°Wow. This is really a once-in-a-century encounter.¡± He couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, ¡°But this is the first time I¡¯ve seen such a powerful and pure physique for someone so young,¡± The old man couldn¡¯t tell what level this young man¡¯s cultivation had reached. But judging from his pure body, this person in front of him must have a high cultivation level. And since the man was still so young, the Daoist priest thought he could not miss such a good opportunity! [Host, be careful. He has bad intentions towards you.] The System immediately warned him, [He has a strange look in his eyes.] He looked like he had taken a fancy to him. Jiang Yu could naturally tell. The Daoist priest looked at him as if he had found a rare treasure. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know what to do.¡± Jiang Yu took a few steps forward and maintained a suitable distance from the Daoist priest. ¡°Sir, why do you have to enter my villa?¡± However, the Daoist priest did not answer his question. Instead, he said excitedly, ¡°I want you to be my disciple! Are you willing?¡± Despite the question, it sounded more like a command than a request. His tone made Jiang Yu feel a little uncomfortable. Putting aside the fact that his cultivation was not inferior to the old Daoist priest and did not need to acknowledge him as his master, even if his cultivation was not strong, he could not accept such a tone. ¡°No need. I¡¯m fine with training on my own,¡± Jiang Yu calmly rejected. ¡°It¡¯s troublesome to have another master for no reason.¡± Perhaps this was the first time the old Daoist priest had been rejected. The man was so shocked that he almost jumped up, ¡°What? You dare to reject me!? You actually dare to reject me!¡± Was it strange to reject him? There was no need to agree to something that he did not want to do. ¡°Let me tell you, as long as you become my disciple, your cultivation will greatly increase, much stronger than what you are now!¡± Well¡­ Jiang Yu felt that the credibility of his statement wasn¡¯t¡­ credible. At least from what he could gather, the old Daoist priest didn¡¯t have such ability. ¡°Is there a problem? I¡¯m in charge of my life,¡± Jiang Yu retorted expressionlessly. ¡°It¡¯s my right to refuse your offer.¡± The Daoist priest was in disbelief, but he could not refute his words either. He didn¡¯t want to, so he couldn¡¯t force him. The old Daoist priest was a little anxious. He could not let such a good seedling run away like this. ¡°You¡­ Is there any way to make you agree? I can help you with whatever you need. With my ability, as long as it¡¯s not too much, I can do it for you.¡± Jiang Yu shook his head and pointed at the villa behind him. ¡°Then let me ask you first. Do you know how much the villa behind me is worth?¡± What kind of question was this? The old Daoist priest felt that this question had nothing to do with him. He had already cultivated, so why would he care about money? ¡°Then let me tell you. I used four million to rent it for a year. What else do you think I need?¡± Jiang Yu said with a straight face. ¡°I don¡¯t need to be your disciple,¡± Four million was a stark contrast to the old Daoist priest¡¯s ragged appearance. Even the old Daoist priest didn¡¯t expect this outcome. He was instantly dumbfounded. This young man was too rich! There was a theory that said food can bring out good cultivation results. No wonder this boy¡¯s body could be so pure at a young age, and it was no wonder his cultivation could be so fast. There was no way for a young master to cultivate with a poor old man like him. The old Daoist priest gave up very quickly, while the butler, who was watching the whole scene from the side, became dumbfounded. He didn¡¯t expect the young master to use money to shut the old Daoist priest¡¯s mouth. That¡¯s true. Money can make the world go round. What can¡¯t be solved with money? Apart from being shocked, the butler was also a little relieved. Now that the young master finally knew how to use money, he was one step closer to inheriting the family property. The butler turned around and picked up his phone to report the situation to Father Jiang. ¡°Mr. Jiang, the young master finally knows the benefits of having money¡­¡± Jiang Yu didn¡¯t have the mood to care about what the butler did. He only confronted the old Daoist priest in front of him. ¡°So do you understand? I don¡¯t need to be your disciple. I can live well on my own. If you understand, please leave immediately.¡± The old Daoist priest immediately felt extremely uneasy. He suddenly remembered his main purpose for coming here and quickly added, ¡°Can I go in and take a look?¡± He had clearly felt the thick spiritual energy here. What was inside? He had to find out! Perhaps¡­ It could allow his cultivation to advance further. Jiang Yu naturally knew why he was here. After thinking for a while, he agreed. ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll show you around.¡± So what if there was spiritual energy? This villa was his for the year, and the could do anything about it. When the Daoist entered the manor, he immediately felt his entire body wrapped in a strong spiritual energy. Based on his senses, he walked in the direction of the rich spiritual energy and finally stopped in front of the hot springs. ¡°This is the place!¡± This was the place where Jiang Yu cultivated last night. Jiang Yu knew that he would come here. But, so what? The old Daoist priest pushed the door open. The moment he walked into the hot spring area, the dense spiritual energy immediately disappeared without a trace. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± He shouted in shock. From his senses, this should be the place with the densest spiritual energy. How could it suddenly disappear into thin air? His honed sense could not be wrong! The spiritual energy must still be hidden here! Therefore, the old Daoist priest began to search the entire area. Seeing this, Jiang Yu asked, ¡°What are you looking for?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 17 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Jiang Yu naturally knew what attracted the old Daoist priest to this place. The only thing he needed to find in his villa was naturally spiritual energy. However, the old Daoist priest¡¯s identity was unknown, and he did not know where he came from. Naturally, he could not reveal too much information. Moreover, his current cultivation had not reached a very powerful level. It was best not to let everyone know. ¡°Spiritual energy, of course!¡± The old Daoist priest said matter-of-factly. He even looked at Jiang Yu inexplicably with a look that said, ¡®How come you don¡¯t even know this?¡¯ Then, the old Daoist priest felt something was amiss. It doesn¡¯t seem like this kid¡¯s cultivation was low. How could he not know about spiritual energy? Or was it not very obvious? No! Forget that! The most important thing now was to find the main source of that spiritual energy! He clearly felt that the spiritual energy in this room was the densest. How could he not feel anything the moment he entered? ¡°What is spiritual energy?¡± Jiang Yu continued to play dumb, forcing the Daoist priest to become even more impatient. ¡°Please don¡¯t ask me right now!¡± Could it be that he was really a fool? The Daoist priest thought for a moment and asked, ¡°What else is there in this room other than the things that are placed now?¡± Perhaps the thing with the spiritual aura had been taken away. Jiang Yu was still confused. ¡°Nothing. I just soaked in the hot spring here yesterday. I didn¡¯t touch anything, nor did I bring anything over.¡± ¡°Moreover, this is just an ordinary hot spring. How can it have the magical spiritual energy you mentioned?¡± The old Daoist priest widened his eyes in disbelief. ¡°How is that possible?!¡± The sense that he was most proud of was wrong? Jiang Yu still looked like he didn¡¯t understand anything. He waved his hand and said, ¡°Old man, wake up. There¡¯s nothing here. If you still think that you¡¯re not wrong, then¡­ My family¡¯s neurology department is good. If you would like to go, I can give you a 20% discount.¡± The system couldn¡¯t help but laugh. Its host¡¯s words were very vicious. The old Daoist priest couldn¡¯t do anything. Did he have to say such vicious words? ¡°You¡­¡± The old Daoist priest was so angry that he almost vomited blood. This brat¡¯s cultivation is so high, yet he doesn¡¯t know anything. He doesn¡¯t know cultivation! He¡¯s simply a waste! After his anger subsided, the old Daoist priest quickly calmed down. No, there must be something wrong with this villa. He had finally entered, so he could not leave so easily. ¡°What do you think? Did you find what you need? Maybe I don¡¯t have what you¡¯re looking for.¡± Jiang Yu pretended to be dumb again. ¡°Please return home. I still want to enjoy the hot spring.¡± The old Daoist priest didn¡¯t plan to leave. ¡°Young man, can you let me stay?¡± He asked after some thought. ¡°I can do anything you asked me to do.¡± He paused for a moment before continuing, ¡°Or, if there¡¯s anything you need my help with, I can do it as long as you let me stay.¡± As long as he stayed here, he would definitely find what he needed. However, Jiang Yu shook his head, ¡°I do not need that. I already have enough bodyguards and servants. They can help me with everything. I don¡¯t need an outsider like you. Sir, you¡¯re already so old. Hurry up and go home to retire.¡± The old Daoist priest felt that this kid really had the talent to anger people. Whatever he says can ignite his rage. ¡°Young man, be more respectful. I¡¯m an old man and I can¡¯t take anger lightly.¡± The old Daoist priest gritted his teeth and continued to think of a way to stay. ¡°I have plenty of money at home. I can do whatever I want.¡± Jiang Yu snorted coldly and revealed a disdainful expression. However, this trick was useless against the old Daoist priest. He thought for a long time and suddenly thought of a way. This young man¡¯s cultivation was not low, but it might not be comparable to his. If he could defeat him, he might be able to stay. Thinking of this, the old Daoist priest hurriedly said, ¡°Young man! Do you dare to fight against me? As long as I win, you have to let me stay. I can still teach you my techniques. If I lose, I¡¯ll leave this place. How about it?¡± [Oh.] The system seemed to have heard something funny and burst out laughing, causing Jiang Yu¡¯s head to hurt. This electronic laughter was really easy to give people a headache. ¡®Can you not laugh so wretchedly?¡¯ Jiang Yu couldn¡¯t help but complain, ¡®My head hurts when I listen to you.¡¯ [I¡¯m sorry, host. This Daoist priest is too funny.] The System didn¡¯t hide the mockery in its heart. [It seems that this man is the frog at the bottom of a well1.] He was already old and thought that his cultivation was very powerful. Little did he know that the man in front of him was many times stronger than him. ¡®It¡¯s quite normal.¡¯ Jiang Yu didn¡¯t have any contempt for the old Daoist priest. After all, the world has yet to recover its spiritual energy. Many cultivators can¡¯t even reach the level of this Daoist priest in their entire lives. In his opinion, he has the right to be arrogant. [I still think that the less capable people are, the more they like to show off.] The system snorted coldly, [Hurry up and defeat him! Do you want him to stay in your villa?] ¡®That¡¯s definitely not happening.¡¯ After saying that, Jiang Yu faced the old Daoist priest and clenched his fists. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s fight.¡± This scene shocked the bodyguards. What was that? Their young master was going to fight with an old man? What if he injured him and the man scammed him? The old Daoist priest also made a gesture to accept the battle. The match between the two was about to start. Unlike the bodyguards¡¯ moves, the old Daoist priest attacked Jiang Yu agilely without the slightest inconvenience of old age. This shocked the bodyguards. ¡°Damn it! Is he really an old man? Why do I feel like he¡¯s more agile than me?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure he is only an old man. However, many old people are flexible.¡± Jiang Yu could tell what move the old Daoist priest was planning to use at a glance and immediately countered it. ¡°Wha¡­ What?¡± The old Daoist priest was stunned for a long time before he realized that he had lost. This¡­ He didn¡¯t even realize what had just happened, and his body hadn¡¯t suffered any substantial damage, but he had lost. ¡°You¡¯re the old man, I¡¯m not going to hurt you. Please leave immediately.¡± This time, the old Daoist priest could not stay any longer and left. Meanwhile, the system was laughing maniacally in Jiang Yu¡¯s head. [Host, you¡¯re too amazing. You have a talent for acting.] Acting? Jiang Yu rubbed his chin and said meaningfully, ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve done this, and after that, I¡¯ll probably be a celebrity.¡± The butler was petrified on the spot. Celebrities. The entertainment industry. Those dirty places¡­ Does the Young Master want to go? Couldn¡¯t he just obediently listen to what his father had planned for him and inherit the family business? Inheriting the family business was a good fortune that not everyone could experience. Not only that, he wouldn¡¯t have to worry about his income¡­ If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 18 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Didn¡¯t the Young Master already know the benefits of money? Why wasn¡¯t he interested in inheriting the family business at all? The butler was puzzled. If he had such a large sum of money to inherit, he would wake up smiling in his dreams. Why does the young master despise that idea? ¡°Young Master, there¡¯s no need to be an actor¡­ Should we find something practical to do? For example¡­ Learning about finance¡­¡± Jiang Yu immediately glanced at him and smiled meaningfully. ¡°Butler, I¡¯ll pretend I didn¡¯t hear you this time, but if you say it again next time, I can ask my father to send you back.¡± The butler was speechless. He immediately shut up and left. If he was sent back by Young Master, he would not get a good ending from Mr. Jiang. But¡­ He should have persuaded the young master to go back¡­ Feeling that he was not pleasing both sides, the butler suddenly could see his bleak future. [Host, are you not going to consider going back to inherit the family business?] The System couldn¡¯t help but tease, [If you go back and inherit the family business, you¡¯ll have more money. Moreover, it won¡¯t disturb your cultivation.] Jiang Yu paused, and his face darkened. ¡°Do you think being the CEO has nothing better to do? If I were to go back and inherit the family business¡­¡± Jiang Yu snapped, ¡°I should be learning from seniors in the company¡¯s office building now, not cultivating in this villa.¡± Alright then¡­ The system indicated that it did not know the survival system of this world. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me about inheriting the family business in the future. I don¡¯t like it.¡± Jiang Yu¡¯s tone suddenly became serious. He had been instilled with the idea of inheriting the family business since he was young, so he had always rejected it during the process of growing up. This rejection reached its peak after his father replaced his college entrance examination papers. Why? Was it wrong of him not to want to inherit the family business? Why was everyone trying to persuade him to do that? Did they all think that it was a shortcut to success? Perhaps it was indeed a shortcut for those people, but for him, it was just pain. The system quickly changed the topic. [I¡¯ll give you a new mission.] Jiang Yu¡¯s eyes lit up as soon as he heard about the new mission. All his previous worries were swept away. A new mission? What kind of mission?! After the system made some adjustments, the mission immediately appeared in Jiang Yu¡¯s mind. [Mission: Sword control technique reaches level 1. Failure will result in a top-tier sword and a spiritual pouch (Note: Can be controlled by Reiki to store weapons temporarily.)] ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Yu stared blankly. This mission was really¡­ [So, how is it? The punishment for this mission is not bad, right?] The system said proudly, [Therefore, you have to work harder and reach the first level of the sword control technique as soon as possible.] ¡®How is he supposed to work hard?¡¯ Jiang Yu muttered in his heart. This was probably a prodigal system. The harder others worked, the more generous the rewards would be. However, when it came to him, it became¡­ The more he failed, the more generous the rewards. The punishment for failure was a top-grade sword. Wouldn¡¯t it be easier to cultivate after obtaining this top-grade sword? After thinking about it, Jiang Yu came to a conclusion. This system was a good seedling for squandering. ¡°Remember what you said.¡± After saying that, Jiang Yu opened the shop and found the only sword available in the shop. ¡°It¡¯s a basic sword,¡± Jiang Yu guessed. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s better than the ones on the market.¡± [No, no, no. You¡¯re wrong to think that way.] The system explained, [Even if it¡¯s just a basic sword like this, it¡¯s already very rare among ordinary cultivators.] In conclusion, he had a lot of cheats even though he was new. This was all thanks to a prodigal system. ¡°What kind of punishment gives you a top-notch sword?¡± Jiang Yu asked casually. [Don¡¯t even think about it.] The system gave a short answer. Beginner was already so rare, and intermediate was even rarer than a beginner. Then top-tier¡­ It was probably a unique existence. Jiang Yu didn¡¯t ask any more questions. He immediately took out the sword control technique manual and started cultivating. Although he was born into a wealthy family and had seen many people perform sword arts, he had never personally held a sword. This was the first time he held this sword, so he didn¡¯t feel anything special. [When your sword control technique improves, you¡¯ll slowly be able to sense the difference between swords.] [Of course, you haven¡¯t reached that level yet,] The system explained carefully. Jiang Yu snorted, then activated the sword control technique and followed the instructions written on it. However, after a series of tries, he did not understand the essence of the technique at all. The system knew nothing about sword techniques, so it thought that Jiang Yu¡¯s swordplay was quite beautiful. [Good luck, host! If you persevere, you will definitely be able to break through very quickly!] What kind of nonsense was it lying about? Jiang Yu was quiet and kept the sword, ¡°No.¡± He didn¡¯t even feel any spiritual energy fluctuation. In other words, the sword technique he was using was just for show and had no offensive power at all. It was later that the system realized that there was no breakthrough in his sword control technique. [That shouldn¡¯t be the case, host. As long as you come in contact and do the technique, you should be able to improve your qi. Why is this sword control technique like this?] Jiang Yu rolled his eyes, ¡°Why are you asking me? How do I know? Didn¡¯t I just practice according to the books you gave?¡± The butler had been watching Jiang Yu in the dark. Seeing that he was practicing his swordsmanship, he hurriedly went forward to fawn over him, ¡°Young master, I have an idea. I can help you practice your swordsmanship.¡± ¡°Oh? Tell me.¡± Since he did not have any solutions at the moment, it was best to listen to the butler¡¯s suggestion. Although the butler may not know anything about immortal cultivation, it might still work. ¡°You can ask a sword master to teach you.¡± ¡°There are so many sword-dancing masters in the country,¡± the butler said confidently. ¡°Young Master, you can choose whoever you want. We have plenty of money anyway.¡± In fact, the butler still wanted to highlight the importance of money so that he could guide Jiang Yu to inherit the family business. However, Jiang Yu naturally didn¡¯t understand the meaning behind his words. ¡°That¡¯s a good suggestion. Go and make the arrangements. Find me a good sword master.¡± The butler immediately went to do as he was told. It was easy to find an outstanding sword dance master. Wasn¡¯t the park master in the neighborhood one? The butler immediately invited him over. ¡°Hey, you. You want to practice your sword, right?¡± The elderly uncle said, his face full of arrogance. ¡°You¡¯ve found the right person this time. I¡¯m the champion of the community sword dance competition. Let me teach you how to perform the sword dance vividly.¡± Community competition? Jiang Yu¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Why did he feel that it wasn¡¯t true? Jiang Yu¡¯s heart sank as soon as the uncle made his move. This dance was not even as good as his! He was even more pretentious than him! ¡°Young Master, what do you think? Is there anything I can learn? The champion of the community competition also knows some kung fu.¡± The butler praised in amazement. Jiang Yu¡¯s expression turned ugly. He did not stop immediately, but let the uncle finish the last part of the ¡°sword technique¡±. After it ended, Jiang Yu felt even more speechless and disappointed.

Chapter 19 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation He had thought that there would be something surprising about the whole set of sword techniques. Unexpectedly, they were all just for show. Jiang Yu wanted to ask this old man, after practicing the sword for his entire life, could it be that he didn¡¯t even have a bit of cultivation? ¡°Young Master, how is it? As expected of the champion of the community. His swordplay is indeed different from ordinary people,¡± The butler asked excitedly. ¡°Of course.¡± The ¡®grandmaster¡¯ raised his chin, seemingly very proud, ¡°The results of my years of training are not something that others can achieve in a day. Don¡¯t you think so, Young Master Jiang?¡± The tone of his words made people very uncomfortable as if he was deliberately provoking them. The system was already angry, [What is this person being so arrogant for? Did he think he was so great? Be it in terms of physique or cultivation, he can¡¯t compare to you. Host, don¡¯t let him bully you!] Jiang Yu naturally wouldn¡¯t get angry because of these words. His expression didn¡¯t even change. He just said indifferently, ¡°Butler, send the guest out.¡± Such a reply made the butler and the grandmaster¡¯s faces stiffen. ¡°Uh¡­ Young Master, you¡­¡± It¡¯s hard to say¡­ Young Master, aren¡¯t you satisfied with this master? No way! He was a community champion after all! No matter what, he was still stronger than the young master, who was only a newbie! The grandmaster felt insulted. He did not expect to be rejected. The man¡¯s expression was even more unsightly, ¡°Young Master Jiang, you are a newbie. My current abilities are enough to teach you. Even if you invite a more powerful master, he might not be able to teach a newbie like you.¡± Even though he said so, the grandmaster still felt a sense of being looked down upon. It had been a long time since anyone dared to deny him. However, Jiang Yu didn¡¯t agree with his words and only explained, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Master. It¡¯s not that you¡¯re not capable enough, but it¡¯s not what I want. I¡¯ll convert the time spent today into cash for you. Butler, bring some gifts to reward the Master.¡± After all, he had made a trip here, so they couldn¡¯t let him return empty-handed. With that, the grandmaster¡¯s expression finally eased a bit. Seeing this, the butler finally sighed and went to the warehouse to get something. He didn¡¯t expect the Young Master to reject the community champion. Where should he find a sword master for him? Could it be that the young master was aiming to enter the national team? The butler didn¡¯t think that he had the ability to do so. Moreover, the teachers he found might not satisfy the Young Master. He should just mind his own business. After the butler left, Jiang Yu originally planned to show his last courtesy and send the grandmaster off. However, the other party suddenly launched an attack on him. Jiang Yu quickly dodged. The other party¡¯s sword was sharp, and he could feel a different aura from it. It was completely different from before. Could it be that everything he did just now was an act?! ¡°You¡­ You do have some skills. Then let¡¯s see how many moves you can take from me!¡± The grandmaster seemed to have discovered some treasure, his eyes flashing. He then continued to launch some fierce attacks at him. Jiang Yu hurriedly reacted. Unfortunately, the other party had a weapon, so he could only continuously dodge without being able to counterattack. As a result, he gradually fell into a disadvantage. What should he do? If this continued, he would lose! After a few exchanges, Jiang Yu intended to directly face the sword¡¯s edge, but the other party stopped attacking at this time. ¡°You have no will to live. My sword has been blessed. If you block it like that, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll have to go to the hospital.¡± The grandmaster didn¡¯t intend to hurt anyone, he just wanted to test the ability of this brat who didn¡¯t even bat an eye at him. The result was beyond his expectations. ¡°Then why did the Master hide his true ability just now?¡± Jiang Yu retorted, ¡°In the face of ordinary people, a master should not need to hide his or her feelings. In this world, there are very few cultivators.¡± ¡°Because of this, I don¡¯t need to expose my identity as a Cultivator in normal times.¡± The grandmaster looked at him meaningfully, ¡°I just didn¡¯t expect that level of skill at such a young age. Your cultivation level isn¡¯t low. Your physique is also extremely good.¡± Since the person in front of him was a self-cultivator and knew swordsmanship, his matter would be easy to handle. Jiang Yu took out the sword manual given to him by the system, ¡°Master, please take a look at this sword manual. How do I practice?¡± He couldn¡¯t understand the words, so he could only practice according to the existing pictures. In the end, of course, there was no effect. Since this master was also a cultivator and knew swordsmanship, he should be able to understand it. However, after the grandmaster carefully looked at the instruction, he shook his head, ¡°I don¡¯t understand the words on it, so I can¡¯t help you with this. However, if you want to learn swordsmanship, I can teach you a set.¡± Since he couldn¡¯t learn from the sword manual, there was no problem learning something else. Therefore, Jiang Yu practiced with Master. Jiang Yu learned very quickly. In just an hour, he had already grasped the essence of the sword technique. After the butler saw that the two of them were getting along harmoniously, he quietly left. Since there was no conflict, then he did not need the things he took just now, right? He knew that the master must have some ability. How could he not even teach the young master? After a round of practice, Jiang Yu had already memorized the entire set of sword techniques. However, he still did not feel any spiritual energy fluctuations. What exactly went wrong? [Host, you actually have the foundation of the sword control technique.] The System suddenly reminded him, [Actually, as long as you find the trick, you can level up very quickly.] ¡°The problem is that I can¡¯t find it now,¡± Jiang Yu couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes. Then, he personally sent the master away and began to question the system. ¡°Do you not want me to complete the mission at all? If no one can understand the words in this manual, how can I cultivate it? Teach me! Can you understand these words?¡± This time, the system fell silent. What its host said was right¡­ It itself couldn¡¯t understand the words in it. Just as Jiang Yu was in a dilemma, the time was up. Jiang Yu received his ¡°punishment¡± again. He obtained a top-notch sword and a spirit pouch. Jiang Yu wasn¡¯t very interested in swords. He didn¡¯t know swordsmanship anyway, so it was useless for him to have such a good sword. He was now interested in this spirit pouch. By using spiritual energy, one could put things into a spiritual bag and carry them around. Jiang Yu gave it a try and put the sword into his spirit pouch. It was such a heavy sword, but it didn¡¯t weigh anything when he put it in. It was quite convenient. Jiang Yu consumed some more spiritual energy and took out his sword. [What do you think? My stuff is awesome, right?] The system said proudly, but Jiang Yu ignored it and continued to play with the spirit bag. However, although this thing was convenient, it consumed a lot of spiritual power. Jiang Yu had only played it a few times before he felt that his body was unable to take it anymore. However, he was not done playing. ¡°My spiritual energy is being consumed too quickly,¡± Jiang Yu couldn¡¯t help but complain, ¡°How many times have I played with this? How can I have no spiritual power?¡± [Host, you¡¯re still too weak now. When your cultivation level is high, you¡¯ll be able to take and use the spirit bag at will. You won¡¯t be affected at all.] If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 20 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Every word the system said seemed to be provoking Jiang Yu as if it was telling him that he should hurry up and train. Jiang Yu pondered in his heart. Wouldn¡¯t the result be the same whether he trained or not? The final result would be a failure, and he would receive a strange punishment, which was also a reward. However, it was right. When his cultivation level increased, this bit of spiritual power would be nothing to him. But now¡­ He hadn¡¯t played with this spirit pouch enough! So, how should he replenish his spiritual power now? Jiang Yu thought for a moment, then opened the system store and bought a large number of Spirit Restoring Pills in one go. Then, he ate them one mouthful after another. The system didn¡¯t know what to think. Was this how the Spirit Restoring Pill was used? He was just playing with the spirit bag. There was no need to waste his spirit energy like this, right? What a waste! However, on second thought, he still had a lot in stock. Jiang Yu definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to finish them in a short time. It still had ways to replenish them later on. Since that was the case, the system let him take them! If the host took more, he might break through at any time. Even if he didn¡¯t break through, the host would still receive help at the end of the mission. Therefore, there was nothing bad about the host being a mess. Meanwhile¡­ At the same time, The old Daoist priest walked a long way before returning to the Daoist Temple. As for this Daoist Temple, it was naturally the one where the Daoist priest and the young girl were previously. However, at this moment, the young girl was lying on the bed. Her breathing was weak, and he did not know what was going on. She was clearly fine when he left. This was¡­ Another Daoist sighed, ¡°She insisted on eating that pill. She wanted to break through. I didn¡¯t give it to her, so she secretly took them herself. As a result, her body suffered a backlash.¡± The old Daoist priest had already guessed what he would say next. ¡°Although she has successfully broken through, her vitality has been greatly damaged. She needs to recuperate for a long time and won¡¯t be able to cultivate for a short time.¡± The Daoist priest shook his head regretfully. Although the girl¡¯s body was weak, her consciousness was still clear. She apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Master. I was wrong. I won¡¯t dare to do it again.¡± She thought that the consequences of taking the pill would not be so serious. She did not expect her body to be so weak that it could not even withstand this little bit of strength. ¡°You¡¯re too bold,¡± The old Daoist priest was both angry and distressed, ¡°Even we don¡¯t dare to take pills easily during cultivation. You¡¯ve learned your lesson this time.¡± However, things had already turned out like this. The old Daoist priest had no other choice but to take care of the girl. ¡°I found spiritual energy,¡± The old Daoist priest suddenly said, ¡°But when I entered the source seemed to disappear without a trace. I can¡¯t find them no matter what.¡± ¡°How could that be?¡± The other Daoist priest was shocked, ¡°After the appearance of the spiritual qi, it can¡¯t disappear so quickly, right? Is it true that you didn¡¯t find it?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure,¡± The Daoist shook his head, ¡°The spiritual energy dissipated almost instantly. I have no choice but to believe it.¡± At this point, the old Daoist priest thought of Jiang Yu. That kid¡¯s physique was excellent, his cultivation was not low, and his skills were not bad. It was a pity that he could not take him in as his disciple. But when he thought of the kid¡¯s way of life, the old Daoist priest sighed regretfully. How could such a good seedling be blinded by money? If he could come to the Daoist temple and cultivate properly, he would be able to achieve something in the future. After thinking about it, the old Daoist priest finally stopped thinking about this matter. Looking at the girl who was in great pain, he took out the last low-grade Spirit Restoring Pill. ¡°Take this and remember not to mess around in the future.¡± ¡°Pills are something that can be used well to break through. If not used well, it can be fatal. If you continue to act recklessly like this and something happens, even the gods can¡¯t save you.¡± When the young girl heard this, she nodded with tears in her eyes, but she rejected the low-grade Spirit Restoring Pill. ¡°This is already the last pill. It¡¯s too wasteful to use it on me. I¡¯ll be fine after resting for a while.¡± Moreover, this time she suffered a backlash, it was indeed her own fault. Why waste this Spirit Recovery Pill? ¡°Now that you need it the most, it¡¯s for you.¡± The old Daoist priest did not allow her to refuse, ¡°Eat it. You must recover quickly. Are you going to disobey your elders?¡± In the end, the young girl took the Spirit-restoring Pill. After taking the medicine, the girl¡¯s complexion became much better. However, her strength had not recovered yet, and she still needed to rest for a few more days. However, her consciousness was much clearer now. The Daoist priest kept warning her not to do such dangerous things again. This time, the girl listened. On the other side, Jiang Yu consumed the Spirit Restoring Pill like a madman. When he felt that he had eaten enough, he continued to play with the spirit pouch. When his spirit energy was exhausted, he continued to eat. It left the system speechless as it watched this repeated process. [What are you doing? Even though I have plenty of them in stock, the Spirit Restoring Pill isn¡¯t something you can use like this.] Many people couldn¡¯t even get a single Revival Spirit Pill, yet its host was wasting them like this. ¡°You have more stock, anyway, so what if I waste some?¡± Jiang Yu said it so matter-of-factly that the system couldn¡¯t refute it. Who asked his system store to have such a setting? It wasn¡¯t like they could limit the purchase. Moreover, it was a good thing for Jiang Yu to consume more Spirit Restoring Pills. He might break through in his cultivation at any time. After that, Jiang Yu purchased a large number of Spiritual Recovery Pills and stuffed them into his stomach. All of a sudden, Jiang Yu felt his entire body gradually heat up. He was all too familiar with this feeling. It was a sign of a breakthrough! This time, the breakthrough came very quickly. Before Jiang Yu could even understand what was happening, he felt his body being filled with spiritual energy. The system shouted in shock, [What is this? You broke through just like that?] Wasn¡¯t its host¡¯s luck too good? This was no longer just a matter of talent. He was really lucky! ¡°I actually broke through.¡± Jiang Yu was also very surprised. Recalling what he had just done, he felt that this mechanism was even more unreasonable. It fully demonstrated what it meant to be more successful as a prodigal. He had already squandered so many Spirit Restoring Pills. It was fine if there was no punishment, but he was even allowed to break through. Jiang Yu¡¯s heart was filled with shock. [You¡¯re lucky. It¡¯s good that you¡¯ve broken through. You¡¯ll soon move on to the next mission.] The system then warned, [But next time, you won¡¯t be so lucky.] It was impossible for every mission to be so weak! In fact, Jiang Yu had thought the same way at first. In the end, he realized that every mission was nothing! ¡°I feel that the same thing will happen again and again,¡± Jiang Yu coldly retorted, ¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯m lucky. It¡¯s just that your mission can be completed even if it¡¯s ruined.¡± The system was speechless. Can you not be so straightforward? [Ahem, in any case, you still have to work hard.] The system easily brushed this off. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, even if I fail, I will still work hard.¡± If he did, wouldn¡¯t he have to go back and inherit the family business? This was the nightmare of his life. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 21 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation In order not to go back and inherit the family business, he had to go all out! In the middle of the night, Jiang Yu still hadn¡¯t fully grasped the sword control technique. He could only repeat the movements in the book repeatedly. He could not understand the words in the sword manual, so he could only imitate the movements according to the diagrams. At first, his imitation was not very accurate, but after doing the movements a few times, he became more and more familiar with them. However¡­Why didn¡¯t he feel anything?! Jiang Yu was so angry that he wanted to throw the sword away. [Calm down, calm down. Why are you angry at the sword? Throwing the weapon away won¡¯t help you break through.] The System sighed and reminded him, [You have to calm down when you cultivate. Otherwise, how can you have a breakthrough?] ¡°You don¡¯t have to say it.¡± Jiang Yu took a deep breath and quickly calmed his heart. He looked at the sword in his hand and waved it twice, but there was still no reaction. ¡°¡­¡± Was this really a top-notch sword? He didn¡¯t feel anything in his heart, but the sword should at least have some sort of reaction. Jiang Yu suddenly recalled the bitter training mentioned in cultivation novels. From the time he came into contact with the technique to the time he started cultivating, everything had been smooth sailing for him. There had been no obstacles at all. Even the system¡¯s punishment was just rewards in disguise. It was the first time he had encountered a block like today. Perhaps, he also needed to be like those cultivators, calm down, persevere, and cultivate unhurriedly. Jiang Yu felt much more comfortable in this way. He brandished the top-notch sword again and continued to train according to the sword manual. In fact, Jiang Yu didn¡¯t know how long he had been practicing. The night turned into day, and the day turned into night. Suddenly, one night, he felt a different fluctuation in his body. Jiang Yu carefully examined it and found that this was the subtle connection between him and the top-notch sword! [Oh my. Not bad. You¡¯ve achieved such results in just a few days. If you continue to practice, I believe you¡¯ll definitely succeed.] The system¡¯s words of encouragement made Jiang Yu a little at a loss. ¡°You don¡¯t have to say it. I understand.¡± Now that he had finally developed a subtle connection with his own, he had to increase his training. As a result, Jiang Yu continued to train hard, almost to the point where he forgot to eat and sleep. And cultivators didn¡¯t need to eat too much. During the process of cultivation, Jiang Yu almost did not feel hungry. He focused all his attention on his sword. The system was also looking forward to his training. The sword slowly floated up, but it was very slow, and he could not maintain it for too long. In just a minute, the top-grade sword fell back to the ground. Jiang Yu tried several times, but the result was the same. [Looks like you still have to strengthen my training.] The system then suggested, [Why don¡¯t you eat a few more Spirit Restoring Pills? Cultivating like this every day will consume a lot of spiritual power.] Jiang Yu naturally wouldn¡¯t refuse. He had plenty of money, and there were quite a few Return Spirit Pills in the store. He could eat as much as he wanted. Although he had improved, it was still difficult for him to calm down and not rush the process. Jiang Yu wanted to eat until he was fat, but he was stopped by the system. ¡°What are you doing? Didn¡¯t you say that I can eat all these Spirit Recovery Pills? And I have the money for it.¡± [You¡­] The system began before sighing helplessly, [In the past, many cultivators relied on Spirit Recovery Pills to cultivate, and many suffered from the backlash. You haven¡¯t reached your breakthrough yet, but you¡¯ve already eaten too many Spirit Recovery Pills. If you suffer a backlash now, you¡¯ll have to recuperate for a long time. Wouldn¡¯t that waste more of your time?] Backlash? Rest? Jiang Yu didn¡¯t seem to have thought about this problem. He had always been consuming pills to cultivate, and there had never been any backlash. However, if he did as the system said, he might suffer the consequences. If that were to happen, he would need to recuperate¡­ Actually, Jiang Yu was not worried about recuperating. He was more worried about going home to recuperate. Once his father found out he was injured, he would definitely be brought back to the Jiang family. As for whether he could still come out to train when that time comes¡­ Well, that was still a big question. He might even be forced to inherit the family property. The thought of sitting in a lifeless office and reading memorials like an emperor in the future, as well as going to various wineries to socialize and negotiate business¡­ Jiang Yu felt suffocated just thinking about it. ¡°No! Absolutely not!¡± ¡°I¡¯d rather kill myself than let me go back and inherit the family business!¡± Jiang Yu roared. [In that case, just cultivate honestly and with your feet on the ground.] The system urged and was very satisfied with Jiang Yu¡¯s response. As expected of the host it had chosen. Even if there was a shortcut, he would put his own well-being first over his impulsiveness. Therefore, Jiang Yu placed down the Spiritual Recovery Pill again and he waved the top-notch sword to strengthen the connection between him and the weapon. Practice was repetitive, boring, the same day after day, year after year. Of course, Jiang Yu didn¡¯t think that he would need to spend a year cultivating. Although he did not know how many days had passed doing this same move. It wasn¡¯t until the butler came over with his phone and said that it was a call from Lin Xiaoyuan. After saving her, Jiang Yu sent someone to send Lin Xiaoyuan down the mountain. After that, the two of them no longer contacted each other. This phone call today was¡­ Jiang Yu stopped his sword dance and took out his phone. It was then he realized that half a month had passed. He immediately picked up the phone and asked what was going on. ¡°Jiang Yu, I¡¯m holding a last banquet sometime before I enter university. Do you want to come?¡± In fact, Lin Xiaoyuan hesitated for a long time before making the call. After all, her classmates had conflicts with Jiang Yu, so it was understandable if didn¡¯t want to come. However, he had saved her, so it was reasonable for her to invite him. Jiang Yu himself wasn¡¯t interested in banquets. However, he had already cultivated for more than half a month and had stayed in the mountains for a long time. He could take this opportunity to go out and get some fresh air. ¡°Alright, tell me the address and I¡¯ll come.¡± The answer surprised Lin Xiaoyuan. She quickly agreed and told Jiang Yu the address. After hanging up the phone, her face was still a little red, and the corners of her mouth could not help but smile. [Y-y-y-you¡¯re going out on a date?!] The system heard their conversation and said meaningfully, [I think that girl likes you. She¡¯s a straight-A student. She¡¯s beautiful and kind.] ¡°Shut up. I don¡¯t have any feelings for her, I doubt she would have any for me either,¡± Jiang Yu said coldly. Would he still have the time to flirt after the recuperation of spirit qi a year later? [Do you really not have any feelings for her?] The system obviously didn¡¯t believe him. [I remember that night, the two of you were quite flirtatious at the hot spring. I thought you would have some reaction to her.] ¡°That was just an accident.¡± Jiang Yu¡¯s expression turned even uglier. ¡°Speaking of which, this system of yours only chats with me every day to arrange tasks. Don¡¯t you have anything else to do?¡± For a cultivation system, it sure has a lot of free time on its metaphorical hands. [I have nothing to do for the time being.] The system said, very proud of itself, [The mission of the ¡®Imperials¡¯ is to supervise your cultivation. However, you are very ambitious, and the Daoist priest has saved me a lot of trouble.] ¡®Then it should stop bothering him and just observe,¡¯ Jiang Yu thought but did not reply out loud. He suddenly felt a little hungry and called the butler to prepare a meal.

Chapter 22 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation On the night before they set off, A thought suddenly crossed Jiang Yu¡¯s mind. It seemed like he had missed the class reunion. He didn¡¯t have any feelings for that class. Most of the people there were only interested in profit, and he wasn¡¯t close to anyone. Naturally, he didn¡¯t have any regrets. Then what was he going to do at the banquet? Looking for a sense of existence? Jiang Yu suddenly regretted agreeing to this ordeal. Was he stupid?! [Host, training will not make you stupid. When your body is purified, your intelligence is already higher than ordinary people.] The system¡¯s sudden voice sounded a little creepy in the night. However, Jiang Yu was already used to the system¡¯s presence and wasn¡¯t frightened. He just couldn¡¯t be bothered with it. ¡°Sleep.¡± Jiang Yu said gloomily as he turned over. Thinking of his class, he actually felt a little irritated for a moment. If he had known earlier, he wouldn¡¯t have agreed. [Host, if you can¡¯t sleep, why don¡¯t you meditate? You have nothing to do anyway, and meditation doesn¡¯t consume your strength.] The system reminded him. Jiang Yu felt that it made sense, so he lay flat on the bed and slowly entered a meditative state. Something else suddenly appeared in his mind. For example, his father strongly wanted him to inherit the family property, Lin Xiaoyuan¡¯s different attitude towards him, the spiritual energy that the old Daoist priest felt, and the fact that the sword master was also an immortal cultivator¡­ It seemed that many things had changed recently. What did the revival of spiritual energy mean after a year? Jiang Yu didn¡¯t have any guesses for the time being, but he urgently needed to improve. Before the recuperation of his reiki, he wanted to improve his physical fitness as much as possible. He couldn¡¯t protect everyone, but he could protect the people he cared about. ¡­ The next day, Jiang Yu opened his eyes on time, and he didn¡¯t feel tired at all. He immediately tidied himself up and dressed informally. After all, this was just a class reunion and not a morning negotiation. There was no need to dress so elegantly. So when he was about to leave the villa, the butler, who was still recommending all kinds of clothes to him, stopped him in shock. ¡°Young Master, where are you going? You haven¡¯t changed into the clothes I prepared for you!¡± ¡°I¡¯m going down the mountain,¡± replied Jiang Yu calmly. ¡®What? Going down the mountain, wearing that? Young Master, are you kidding me?¡¯ ¡°Young Master, aren¡¯t you going to attend a banquet?¡± The butler shouted in disbelief. ¡°No matter what, you have to wear a suit. It¡¯s too casual to wear this. It doesn¡¯t suit your identity¡­¡± The butler trailed off when he noticed Jiang Yu¡¯s cold gaze. The butler immediately began to reflect on whether he had said anything wrong. There didn¡¯t seem to be anything wrong with what he said just now. ¡°I¡¯m not going to a meeting. Why should I wear a suit? How annoying.¡± It was uncomfortable to wear those clothes. Besides, it was just a class reunion, so there was no need to dress so formally. In the end, the butler didn¡¯t insist and left with Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu went down the mountain accompanied by his bodyguards. Of course, he did not actually walk down the mountain. He went down by sitting in the backseat of the car. It should¡¯ve been a quick and smooth drive, but someone up there must¡¯ve had some other plan. The car had not driven for long when it stopped halfway. The driver got out of the car to check and said that the engine was broken. ¡®Is this a sign? Will there be a bloody disaster today?¡¯ Jiang Yu wondered. [Aiyo, host, what has your little brain been thinking about all day? What bloody disaster? That¡¯s impossible.] The system immediately retorted, [You are a cultivator! It¡¯s impossible for you to get injured that easily!] ¡°You¡¯d better shut up. It¡¯s so noisy.¡± Jiang Yu stuffed his ear with his fingers. ¡°I¡¯m in the car. This car is very sturdy. Bullets can¡¯t even penetrate the walls. What danger can I be in?¡± At this moment, the butler was a little nervous and said, ¡°Young Master, please don¡¯t get out of the car.¡± What was going on? Something in the butler¡¯s tone seemed to say something else. Just as he was about to ask, Jiang Yu saw a car suddenly blocking their way. He looked back and saw a car parked behind them. His car was surrounded. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Jiang Yu not to notice that something was wrong. ¡°Tell me, what happened?¡± He asked in a deep voice. ¡°How many things are you hiding from me?¡± If he had not gone out today, he would not have known. He had only been cultivating in the courtyard of the villa for half a month, and there were more bodyguards in place than before. He was in a hurry to attend the banquet today, so he didn¡¯t ask. He had wanted to ask about the situation once he returned. However, with how things were heading¡­ He had to figure out the situation now. The butler had planned to keep it a secret, but Mr. Jiang did not want him to tell him the real situation of the company. ¡°Recently, Mr. Jiang has acquired a company. The other party has gone all out and wants to fight to the death. Mr. Jiang has also been targeted, so Mr. Jiang sent some people to protect you, Young Master.¡± No, that doesn¡¯t sound right. His father had bought more than one company, especially in recent years. Coupled with the importance he attached to inheriting the family business, Jiang Yu felt that things weren¡¯t that simple. However, now was not the time to think about this. He looked at the men who were rushing out. Then he smiled. ¡°Hmph, alright. Since that¡¯s the case, let this Young Master come and introduce himself,¡± Jiang Yu got out of the car immediately. The butler was very shocked and even suspected that he had heard wrong. Was he going deaf? Surely the Young Master did not want to beat up more than ten men on his own¡­ Right? The Young Master could win unscathed in a one-on-one battle like the fight in the villa. But it was a whole other story when you¡¯re up against more than ten people at once! Could the Young Master do it alone? However, by the time the butler reacted, Jiang Yu was already out of the car. When they saw Jiang Yu, they burst into laughter. ¡°So you¡¯re Old Man Jiang¡¯s precious son! As long as we kidnap you, we can squeeze that company for anything. Brothers, go!¡± Jiang Yu rubbed his wrist. He was not worried at all. After all, he was an immortal cultivator and was stronger than these ordinary people. Besides, his cultivation level was not low. This would be an easy win. They rushed forward like a swarm of bees. The bodyguards all had some skills and were very strong. If Jiang Yu didn¡¯t cultivate, he really wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand them. Jiang Yu immediately grabbed the first person who rushed up and threw him fiercely, directly throwing the others down. As for the person who was caught, he was naturally thrown out. ¡°Humph! A bunch of trash wants to kidnap me? When you get to the station, don¡¯t forget to tell me all the information about your employer.¡± Jiang Yu clapped his hands and ordered the remaining bodyguards to arrest them and send them to the police station. The butler stood beside the car, his eyes wide open in shock. He did not make a sound for a long time. This¡­ How did the Young Master become so powerful? He didn¡¯t seem to be that strong before he started practicing the sword¡­ Or was his memory getting the better of him? The Young Master had been cultivating in the villa¡¯s courtyard for fifteen days. How could he become so strong in such a short amount of time? The butler suddenly felt that he had missed something very important. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 23 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Now that the Young Master had become so powerful, wouldn¡¯t it be even more difficult to get him back to inherit the family business in the future? The butler thought that he should find an opportunity to report this to Mr. Jiang later. All the bodyguards were shocked by Jiang Yu¡¯s strength. ¡°Oh my god, Young Master is so powerful. Why would he need our protection? Young Master should protect us.¡± ¡°I heard that the Young Master locked himself in the courtyard for fifteen days. I don¡¯t know what he did to become so powerful.¡± ¡°Should we learn from the Young Master in the future? As the Young Master¡¯s bodyguard, we could not be weak either,¡± ¡­ ¡°There¡¯s a camera in the car, right?¡± Jiang Yu turned around and asked the butler. The butler came back to his senses and quickly said, ¡°Yes, Young Master. What are your plans?¡± ¡°Of course, we¡¯ll send the record to the police station.¡± Jiang Yu calmly returned to the car and instructed the butler, ¡°Tell someone to send those people to the police station first. There are cameras in the car that can prove that I was acting in self-defense.¡± The butler was once again shocked by the words he had heard. Since when did the Young Master know how to use the law to protect himself? Mr. Jiang would be pleased to know that his son was abiding by the law. After that, Jiang Yu was sent to the agreed address. Before entering the hotel, Jiang Yu looked up at the hotel¡¯s signboard and revealed a meaningful smile. However, when he walked into the hall, the originally lively scene instantly became silent. As for why it wasn¡¯t completely quiet¡­ Because those people were talking about him. ¡°How can he still have the nerve to come? I remember that his score was not even half of the total score, right?¡± ¡°Anyway, he didn¡¯t get a bachelor¡¯s degree, so he can¡¯t get into a university. I really don¡¯t know where he got the face to appear here.¡± ¡°I heard that Lin Xiaoyuan had a conflict with her classmates during the celebration because of Jiang Yu. Could it be that Lin Xiaoyuan has taken a fancy to him?¡± ¡­ Jiang Yu looked over and found his seat according to what Lin Xiaoyuan had said in advance. The moment he sat down, the man sitting at the same table as he immediately looked in disgust, ¡°Tsk! You have the face to come!¡± Jiang Yu looked at the person sitting across from him. He knew that he was the most handsome boy in class, and probably even in the whole school. His family background was outstanding, his grades were excellent, and everyone knew that he liked Lin Xiaoyuan. Of course, this school hunk would look down on those who did not study well, especially those who were his competitors. ¡°Is there a problem with me coming? Someone invited me, so I came,¡± said Jiang Yu calmly. ¡°Who would invite a waste like you? Stop bragging! You probably asked around and begged people to find this place!¡± Jiang Yu couldn¡¯t be bothered with him and slowly ate the fruit plate by himself. Unfortunately, the school hunk still had no intention of letting him go, ¡°I advise you to leave quickly. There¡¯s no place for you here! A person like you should be moving bricks at the construction site!¡± Suddenly, the school hunk stopped before he laughed mockingly as a thought entered his mind, ¡°Oh, I forgot. With your skinny appearance, let alone moving bricks, you¡¯ll probably faint after a few hours under the sun, hahahaha.¡± Lin Xiaoyuan didn¡¯t know how to defend Jiang Yu. She didn¡¯t know what to say about the results, but she had seen Jiang Yu¡¯s physical fitness with her own eyes. He could break a huge rock with his bare hands, so how could he not even move a brick? ¡°Excuse me, you¡¯ve gone too far.¡± Lin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t help but say. The school hunk¡¯s expression was a little ugly, and it became even worse. ¡®Humph! Why did Lin Xiaoyuan speak up for him?! She didn¡¯t even speak up for me.¡¯ ¡°Humph! I don¡¯t even need to say it, trash is trash! I want to see what he can do in the future!¡± Jiang Yu ate an orange and said casually, ¡°I can still inherit hundreds of millions of assets.¡± As soon as he said that, everyone at the table was shocked. Then, they burst into laughter. ¡°Hahahaha, what is it? Did I hear wrongly? He said that he could inherit billions of assets? Wasn¡¯t he the poorest kid in class?¡± ¡°Does he think that he¡¯s a millionaire just because he¡¯s rented the villa for a year? In this day and age, he¡¯s no longer a millionaire. What is he bragging about?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I can also book a villa for a year. This is not something worth bragging about.¡± After a short moment of surprise, the school hunk mocked, ¡°Jiang Yu, there¡¯s no need to pretend to be rich. A few million is already your limit, right?¡± He didn¡¯t expect that this kid would still be able to take out a few million to squander in the villa. According to his father, his family shouldn¡¯t be able to hold on for long. However, looking at Jiang Yu¡¯s expression, he probably didn¡¯t know about the situation at home. Thinking of this, the school hunk laughed even more wildly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. You can be proud for now. Your father can¡¯t possibly support you forever. You don¡¯t know anything about your own family¡¯s situation. It¡¯s troublesome to have a son like you.¡± Jiang Yu stopped eating and looked at the man meaningfully, but he didn¡¯t show any emotion. However, he had already sensed that something was wrong. His father must have something he didn¡¯t tell him. Although he did not want to inherit the family business, and he did not want to inherit it at all, he was still close to his father. ¡°You don¡¯t have to tell me about my family¡¯s matters. My family¡¯s situation is not worse than yours now. You don¡¯t have to say that I might be moving bricks in the future.¡± Jiang Yu calmly picked up his chopsticks and started to eat. The school hunk was furious, but he didn¡¯t continue. Anyway, in his opinion, Jiang Yu wouldn¡¯t be able to be smug for long. The atmosphere of the banquet became very tense ever since Jiang Yu¡¯s arrival. After Jiang Yu finished eating, he didn¡¯t even greet Lin Xiaoyuan and planned to leave. At this moment, the hotel manager went straight to Jiang Yu¡¯s side. ¡°Young Master, what else do you need?¡± No one expected the manager to take the initiative to talk to Jiang Yu. It turned out that those people who mocked Jiang Yu for being poor were also incomparably shocked at this moment. What was going on? Jiang Yu was the Young Master of this hotel? This hotel was owned by Jiang Yu¡¯s family! In an instant, the food in their hands no longer smelled good. ¡°No need, I have to go back,¡± Jiang Yu waved his hand and turned to leave. ¡°Jiang Yu¡­¡± Lin Xiaoyuan wanted to say something to him, but she had no chance at all. She could only watch from afar. At this moment, the school hunk came up to talk to her, ¡°Xiaoyuan, he¡¯s just a rich playboy. He doesn¡¯t know anything. He¡¯s just a rice worm who relies purely on his family for a living.¡± Lin Xiaoyuan was speechless. She didn¡¯t even look at him and said impatiently, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense if you don¡¯t know anything!¡± She believed in her own judgment about what kind of person Jiang Yu was. After leaving the hotel, Jiang Yu went straight back to the villa. ¡°What a waste of time. I might as well cultivate.¡± [You won¡¯t disappoint me, host.] The system agreed. ¡°There¡¯s no time to lose. Let¡¯s start.¡± Jiang Yu opened the system store and purchased many more Spirit Recovery Pills with one click. However, at this moment, Father Jiang came and saw Jiang Yu eating a big round pill. He thought that he was sick and asked worriedly, ¡°Son, are you feeling unwell?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 24 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation No. Even if his son was suffering from a common cold, the pill wouldn¡¯t be that big, right? ¡°I don¡¯t have a cold. This is a pill for cultivation.¡± Jiang Yu replied casually, completely oblivious to Father Jiang¡¯s shocked and speechless expression. What¡­ What nonsense was he talking about? Cultivation? This was no longer a feudal society, right? Was there such a saying? ¡°Son, are you sure that you¡¯re not lying to me?¡± Father Jiang asked worriedly, ¡°It¡¯s okay if you¡¯ve cheated. But son, are you under too much pressure?¡± Did he push his son too hard? Was convincing him to inherit the family business lead him down this path? The more Father Jiang thought about it, the more he felt that it was the case. He began to reflect on himself. Perhaps he shouldn¡¯t have pushed so hard. There was still time, so he could make amends. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m fine,¡± Jiang Yu said but didn¡¯t explain. Even if he were to explain the matter of cultivation to his father now, he probably wouldn¡¯t believe it. However, he would have to talk about it in the future. The table that was once full of large pills was soon cleaned. Jiang Yu finished them all without a change in his expression. Father Jiang was completely shocked. ¡°You¡­ Son¡­¡± Father Jiang suddenly wondered if he should take his son to the hospital for a checkup. Was it really alright to eat so many medicinal pills in one sitting? At this time, Jiang Yu grabbed his wrist and asked, ¡°Dad, did something happen at the company?¡± In fact, while he does appear blank, he was also carefully observing his father¡¯s condition. However, Jiang Yu¡¯s expression changed a little when he touched on the topic. Father Jiang thought that his son didn¡¯t know medicine, so he naturally wouldn¡¯t think in that direction. ¡°No,¡± he said evasively. ¡°The company is doing well. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Then, the older man hurriedly tried to persuade him, ¡°How is it? Have you decided to take back the family business? I welcome you anytime¡ª¡± ¡°Dad,¡± Jiang Yu interrupted him, ¡°I just went to a classmate¡¯s party. I know something. Don¡¯t hide it from me. What happened to the company?¡± Seeing that Father Jiang was still planning to bluff, Jiang Yu bluntly pointed out, ¡°One of my classmates said that my family won¡¯t be able to hold on for long. Dad, at least let me know the real situation of the company.¡± Knowing that he couldn¡¯t hide it anymore, Father Jiang sighed, ¡°The company has indeed encountered some problems recently that are not easy to resolve.¡± ¡°If I don¡¯t solve the problem, everything your classmate said will be true¡­¡± Jiang Yu¡¯s heart tightened as he hurriedly asked, ¡°How much time do we have left?¡± If the time was too short, he would not even be able to help. Jiang Yu heard his father¡¯s answer anxiously, ¡°One year at most.¡± It was just the right time for him to reach the Revival of Spirit Qi in this world. Jiang Yu heaved a sigh of relief. It wasn¡¯t just the company¡¯s problem. Father Jiang was constantly exhausting his body because of the company¡¯s matters. Jiang Yu could feel that his body was already very weak. Was there anything he could help with? ¡®Can my father eat the Spirit Restoring Pill?¡¯ Jiang Yu asked the system. If it was possible, one Spiritual Recovery Pill should be enough to cure his illness, right? However, the system gave him a negative answer. [No, even if a low-level cultivator consumes a Spirit Restoring Pill, their body will suffer a certain backlash. The body of an ordinary person generally cannot withstand it.] ¡®Then what can I do now?¡¯ Although his father forced him to inherit the family business, he still loved him. This man was his father. He couldn¡¯t just watch his body deteriorate like this. The system helplessly gave the best solution at the moment. [At least for now, there¡¯s no other way but to wait for the recuperation of reiki to slowly guide him to improve his body.] At least after the recuperation of reiki? That was a crucial day. Jiang Yu pondered. He had to ask his father to take care of his health during this time so that nothing unexpected would happen. [Of course, he can also let him take some Chinese medicine to recuperate. Immortal cultivators have their own methods. If you can¡¯t use immortal cultivators¡¯ things, then you can just drink ordinary Chinese medicine.] The system suggested. That was true. Before Father Jiang left, Jiang Yu repeatedly reminded him to take care of his body. Mr. Jiang was gratified and at the same time, he was persuading him, ¡°Son, since you¡¯re so worried about me, why don¡¯t you come back and inherit the family business?¡± ¡®Despite being related, their minds seemed to be disconnected.¡¯ His tone returned to normal, ¡°Dad, take care. I won¡¯t see you out.¡± ¡®This brat!¡¯ Father Jiang had no choice but to leave. He quietly coughed a few times. Jiang Yu lay on the bed and became even more determined to cultivate. Not only did he not want to inherit the family property, but he also wanted to protect his father¡¯s health. [You don¡¯t have to worry too much. I can feel that his body is indeed very weak, but it¡¯s not weak enough for him to collapse.] The system¡¯s heartless tone made Jiang Yu want to hit someone. [After all, your family is rich. He eats and drinks well every day.] Jiang Yu¡¯s face darkened, ¡°Take back your words.¡± It was not its father who was in trouble, so it was easy for it to say that. No, this robotic system didn¡¯t have a father or waist. The system was speechless. Although this was the truth, it did not feel comfortable hearing it. After that, Jiang Yu continued to cultivate. He wanted to stay in the hot spring room for a while, but he heard Mother Ye¡¯s voice at the corner. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Jiang. This villa is yours now.¡± What? Jiang Yu thought he had misheard. He had only been here for less than a month, yet his father had moved so quickly! ¡°Young Master Jiang has always been very good here. Don¡¯t worry! I¡¯ll report to you immediately if there¡¯s any abnormality!¡± Forget it, other than the butler, there was another spy. After Mother Ye hung up, Jiang Yu appeared and said meaningfully, ¡°Mother Ye, what do you plan to say to my dad?¡± Mother Ye¡¯s body shivered and she smiled embarrassedly, ¡°Young Master Jiang, I didn¡¯t intend to say anything. Now that Mr. Jiang has bought the villa, I have to say something nice to him.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Jiang Yu¡¯s lips curled up into a smile. Mother Ye suddenly felt a little cold. Did she say something wrong? If she had known earlier, she wouldn¡¯t have picked up the call here. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Young Master Jiang. I won¡¯t tell Mr. Jiang.¡± Even if she did, he wouldn¡¯t know. Mother Ye prayed in her heart that this Young Master would leave quickly. ¡°I hope you keep your word.¡± He didn¡¯t really care about Mother Ye¡¯s actions. If his father knew, then so be it. Didn¡¯t he care when he mentioned cultivation? However, when he thought of the company¡¯s current situation, Jiang Yu sighed heavily. The company was already in such a state, yet he still took out funds to buy the villa. He really doted on his son. In that case, he would have to speed up his cultivation. When the day of the recuperation of spiritual energy came¡­ Jiang Yu arrived at the hot spring and was about to take off his clothes when the butler rushed over and said, ¡°Young Master, someone has come to visit.¡± Who would come so early in the morning? Jiang Yu immediately frowned and refused, ¡°No.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± The butler looked very troubled, ¡°Young Master, you should go and take a look. He doesn¡¯t seem to be an ordinary person.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 25 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Jiang Yu¡¯s brows were tightly knitted together, and he was a little irritated, ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°He¡­ He is the chairman of the Wang Group. He said he was going to tour the villa.¡± Tour? ¡°Are you sure he meant a tour?¡± He asked further. The butler nodded again. This word was really ¡°appropriate¡±. Jiang Yu sneered and decided to meet Chairman Wang. As for his identity, Jiang Yu instantly recognize him. Wasn¡¯t he the school hunk¡¯s father? The Jiang Group was one of the best in the city, comparable to his family. He had come to the villa and deliberately said ¡®tour¡¯ to show that his purpose was definitely not simple. This villa now belonged to the Jiang family. As the director of the Wang family, he had personally made this trip for something else¡­ The more Jiang Yu thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Or could it be that something had really happened to his father? At this moment, the system was thinking about something else. [Host, you must be careful. There are cultivators among them.] Cultivators? Could it be that there was more than one person? Or was Chairman Wang a cultivator himself? Jiang Yu confirmed with the butler again, ¡°How many of them are here?¡± ¡°Two. The other person looks older and he doesn¡¯t look like a bodyguard,¡± It really sounded like a cultivator. ¡®How is his cultivation? Can you feel it?¡¯ The system thought for a while and did not give a definite answer. [I¡¯m not sure. There¡¯s some distance between us right now, so I can¡¯t sense it. Moreover, I can¡¯t rule out the possibility that some powerful cultivators are intentionally hiding their cultivation level.] If that was the case, it would be too terrifying. But since that was the case, he should go and meet him! Jiang Yu curled his lips into a smile and ordered, ¡°Invite them in.¡± It was rare to meet a cultivator in the native world. It¡¯s a good thing that said person was also related to his enemy. He wanted to see what their purpose was! Jiang Yu was walking towards the main door. At this time, Chairman Wang was chatting with the immortal cultivator and occasionally saying some strange things. ¡°This mountain villa feels like a good place to cultivate. It gathers the spiritual qi in the mountains. If I can cultivate here, my cultivation will greatly increase.¡± Chairman Wang¡¯s eyes lit up. No one knew what he thought of, but his smile became even brighter. ¡°Elder Yang, you said that you felt a large amount of spiritual energy in this direction, correct?¡± The man called Elder Yang had a full beard, and even his hair was very messy. It seemed that he had not tidied it for a long time. He only revealed a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes, as if he was examining something. Just that pair of eyes alone made the bodyguards at the door a little scared. This person looked strange, and his eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. ¡°It¡¯s here. My senses can¡¯t be wrong. Moreover, with such a large amount of spiritual energy gathering, it¡¯s even more impossible for me to be wrong!¡± Old Master Yang said in a deep voice. This made things even more interesting. Some time ago, Jiang Yu had just booked this villa, and then he sensed a huge fluctuation in spiritual energy. Could it be such a coincidence? After thinking about it, Chairman Wang couldn¡¯t believe that the person who could cause such a large spiritual fluctuation was Jiang Yu. Wasn¡¯t he just a pleasure-seeking son of a rich family? How could he possibly know how to cultivate? ¡°If you know what¡¯s good for you, get out of my way! Anyway, this villa will belong to me in the future. If you listen to me now, I can consider letting you work in my company in the future. Otherwise, you can just wait to lose your jobs!¡± The bodyguards were confused. What could make this person say such big words? The Jiang Group was still doing well. How could it go bankrupt? Therefore, the bodyguards ignored him and continued to stick to their posts. Chairman Wang was not in a hurry. He thought that he was giving these ¡°ignorant¡± people a chance. Since they didn¡¯t want it, then don¡¯t blame him when he fires them! However, Jiang Yu did not appear for a long time. Finally, the butler came to inform everyone, including the bodyguards, to move aside. ¡°Where¡¯s Jiang Yu? Why didn¡¯t that kid come to see me? I¡¯m his elder, but he¡¯s so disrespectful!¡± ¡®What kind of elder are you?¡¯ The butler muttered in his heart, but he still said calmly, ¡°The Young Master is busy and unable to receive you at the moment. Please tour the villa yourself.¡± The butler didn¡¯t know what Jiang Yu was planning, but he wouldn¡¯t disobey an order. ¡°Humph! What a coward!¡± Chairman Wang thought that the kid was afraid to meet him and did not take it to heart. He raised his chin and walked into the villa with his nose in the air. He pointed at the beautiful scenery in the villa and made suggestions for improvement, which made the original owner of the villa, Mother Ye, very unhappy. But since Chairman Wang was a guest, she couldn¡¯t say anything. The two of them arrived at the miniature mountain area. ¡°This place is pretty good, but it¡¯s a pity that Old Man Jiang bought it! I should have made my move earlier!¡± Chairman Wang said fiercely, but then he revealed a relieved smile. ¡°But it doesn¡¯t matter. The Jiang Group can¡¯t hold on much longer. I originally wanted to kill Jiang Yu and send that old man to the hospital. Then, the Jiang Group would completely collapse. Who would have thought that that little brat would have such skills¡­¡± Under the guidance of the system, Jiang Yu successfully found Chairman Wang¡¯s location. He hid in the dark and eavesdropped on their conversation. However, after hearing Chairman Wang¡¯s words, Jiang Yu was shocked. He knew that he and Wang Xinyuan did not get along, but he did not expect that their fathers had such a grudge that they wanted to kill him. If someone can walk to the point of killing people, presumably, they have accumulated resentment for a long time. [Host, you have to be careful to hide your aura. That long-bearded man is very dangerous. He might notice you.] The system reminded him nervously, [Your cultivation levels might be on par, but it¡¯s best not to have a direct conflict with him. You might not have the advantage either.] Jiang Yu nodded. He was already trying his best to hide his aura. However, he hadn¡¯t practiced this method for a long time, so his performance wasn¡¯t stable. If he wasn¡¯t careful, he would easily be exposed. Old Master Yang had cultivated for many years and was very sensitive to the dangers nearby. He quickly sensed the presence of another cultivator around him. ¡°Chairman Wang, be careful. Someone is eavesdropping,¡± Old Yang said warily, ¡°This stranger¡¯s cultivation level might not be that far off from mine.¡± In Chairman Wang¡¯s opinion, Old Master Yang¡¯s cultivation was not low. How could there be someone in this villa with higher cultivation than him? ¡°You¡¯re worrying too much. If there were cultivators stronger than you in the villa, wouldn¡¯t you have found them long ago? Why did this person have to wait until there was a large amount of spiritual energy fluctuation to let other people discover it?¡± Chairman Wang did not take it seriously at all. He knew that Old Master Yang was too cautious, and he might have been overthinking things again. ¡°It¡¯s best to be careful. Don¡¯t underestimate the enemy.¡± Old Master Yang still firmly believed in his senses. The aura only appeared for a moment before disappearing. He could roughly guess that this cultivator¡¯s cultivation should be about the same level as his. Otherwise, how could he hide under his nose? It was just that he wasn¡¯t skilled enough in using it, so he had been exposed for a few seconds. This villa was extremely suitable for cultivation. It was normal for there to be another cultivator here. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 26 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Chairman Wang didn¡¯t care, so Old Master Yang couldn¡¯t continue to persuade him. However, he still maintained his vigilance. Others might not understand cultivators, but he knew very well. ¡°So, how powerful is he?¡± Jiang Yu asked nervously, ¡°He found out someone was eavesdropping so quickly. Is he much better than me?¡± [That man is not much stronger.] The system said calmly and disdainfully, [He has cultivated for so many years but has only cultivated to this extent. Host, you only need one more breakthrough and you will be stronger than him.] ¡°Is that so?¡± Jiang Yu said without hesitation, ¡°When he leaves, I¡¯ll continue cultivating, and you can give me another mission.¡± As expected, he could only improve when he had a mission. The system had already arranged everything for Jiang Yu¡¯s cultivation. [Don¡¯t worry. With me around, you will definitely become a world expert.] Jiang Yu had been hiding his aura and following Chairman Wang. They had almost gone around the entire villa and even teased the maids from time to time, which made Jiang Yu very angry. ¡°This mountain is quite a place to raise women.¡± Chairman Wang reached out to one of the maids, and the woman pushed his hand away without thinking. ¡°How dare you reject me!¡± Chairman Wang was immediately angry. In the company, which woman would not lean toward him? In the end, someone dared to reject him, and it was a measly maid no less! This made Chairman Wang feel very proud. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡± The maid was so frightened that she took a few steps back and looked at Chairman Wang warily, ¡°This is Young Master¡¯s manor, not a place where you can do whatever you want.¡± How dare a maid talk to him like this! Chairman Wang laughed out loud, ¡± This villa will soon belong to me, and all of you will soon be my people. What are you so proud of now?!¡± It seemed that Chairman Wang was prepared to use force. Jiang Yu couldn¡¯t just stand by and watch anymore. He directly stood up and shouted, ¡°Chairman Wang, this is my home. Aren¡¯t you being too arrogant for a guest?¡± Hearing Jiang Yu¡¯s voice, Chairman Wang suddenly lost interest. This kid didn¡¯t come out to greet him or later, when they were about to leave, but he just had to appear when he was doing something. It probably didn¡¯t mean anything, right? However, he was not going to argue with a little kid. ¡°Arrogant? This place will be mine in the future anyway. I just came to inspect it in advance. Is there a problem?¡± Chairman Wang¡¯s confident tone made Jiang Yu very unhappy. He had already heard from his father that the company was not doing well. Combined with what he had just heard, it was probably related to the Wang family. ¡°Up until now, the villa is still in our hands,¡± Jiang Yu said meaningfully, ¡°It¡¯s not certain whether it will still belong to you in the future. Don¡¯t talk big before it¡¯s decided. You¡¯ll be the embarrassed one.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not decided yet, but it¡¯s not far away.¡± The older man shrugged, ¡°With your family¡¯s situation, you won¡¯t be able to last for a year. You¡¯d better think about how to find a way out.¡± ¡°Please leave! You¡¯re not welcome here,¡± Jiang Yu snapped. ¡°I don¡¯t want to hear his bullsh*t!¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave now,¡± Chairman Wang agreed with a smile. He looked at Jiang Yu provocatively and turned to leave. However, Old Master Yang did not follow. His eyes were staring at Jiang Yu as if he had sensed something and was very vigilant. Although he did not know what level this young man¡¯s cultivation was at, his physique was indeed very good and was very suitable for cultivation. In the future, he would soon become a powerful person. Of course, if he did not cultivate, everything that happened after that was just his guess. He really couldn¡¯t tell whether Jiang Yu was a cultivator or not. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you leaving?¡± Jiang Yu pretended to have a bad temper, ¡°If you don¡¯t leave, then I can only send someone to chase you away.¡± This old man was very dangerous. If he were to see through his true situation, it would be very troublesome. [Don¡¯t worry, host. You¡¯ve hidden your strength very well. He won¡¯t be able to tell, but it¡¯s best not to have too much contact with him soon. After all, he¡¯s already over fifty years old.] Jiang Yu naturally understood the system¡¯s warning. But suddenly, Old Master Yang attacked him! Jiang Yu was shocked and immediately dodged. At the same time, he controlled his spiritual energy fluctuation and didn¡¯t let the other party touch him. If he were to encounter him, he would probably understand his own strength clearly. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Jiang Yu immediately called his bodyguards over and hid behind them, ¡°I can sue you for hurting me on purpose!¡± ¡°Humph! You are quite agile,¡± Old Yang said, clearly referring to his guesses, but remaining vigilant. The punch he threw was fast. If this young man was not a cultivator, he would not have been able to dodge his fist. However, he did not feel any spiritual power from this child. What was going on? ¡°Thank you for the compliment. I¡¯ve been recuperating recently. Otherwise, my body will be too weak and I¡¯ll always be bullied by you people,¡± Jiang Yu casually dropping Wang Xinyuan, the bully, into the conversation, ¡°Your boss¡¯ son has always looked down on me in the past. I failed the college entrance examination. If I don¡¯t exercise, my physical strength won¡¯t be comparable to others.¡± It sounded quite reasonable. However, Old Master Yang was still very vigilant. No matter what, even if this man was not a cultivator, he must be the one who eavesdropped them! ¡°You better not be lying to me.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Old Man Yang was about to leave. At this moment, the butler brought the sword dance master who had been invited earlier, ¡°Young Master, the master is here and is asking if you want to replace him?¡± The butler remembered that the two of them hit it off quite well last time. Why did he suddenly ask about this? He had thought that the two of them had already succeeded in teaching the Young Master how to dance with the sword. Jiang Yu waved his hand. ¡°The Master was able to hide his cultivation so well that even the system did not notice it at the beginning. His cultivation might be stronger than the man in front of him.¡± Old Master Yang knows that the master is the best! He had won a community competition, and basically, everyone in the area knew his name. This was an amazing award to ordinary people, but to him, it was just for show. ¡°Humph! As expected of a good-for-nothing,¡± It seemed like he was worrying too much. He had such a good physique, yet he only hired a showy master. No wonder he couldn¡¯t cultivate. At this moment, the suspicion in Old Master Yang¡¯s heart had already been dispelled by more than half. It was only luck that he had such a good physique. After Old Master Yang left, Jiang Yu asked the bodyguards to settle the master down while he called the butler into his room and asked him in detail. ¡°Tell me the truth. How serious is the situation at the company?¡± Jiang Yu said seriously, ¡°You¡¯ve seen Chairman Wang¡¯s attitude today. I don¡¯t want to know nothing when my family is in danger.¡± The situation must be far more serious than what his father had told him. Seeing that he could not hide it anymore, the butler did not plan to keep silent. He said truthfully, ¡°The Wang and Jiang families have been holding grudges for many years. The conflict has existed since you were young, Young Master.¡± No wonder Wang Xinyuan had always disliked him and thought he had nothing better to do. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 27 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation His father had never told him about these things. Jiang Yu¡¯s expression became even darker. His father didn¡¯t tell him about these important things and yet wanted him to inherit the family property? Sometimes, he really couldn¡¯t understand his father¡¯s thoughts. ¡°So, how has the situation been recently?¡± He asked, not before adding, ¡°Don¡¯t hide anything from me this time,¡± And the butler had no such intention to begin with, ¡°The situation isn¡¯t looking good. The Wang family wants to take advantage of Mr. Jiang¡¯s illness to annex the company. They also want to¡­ Take the opportunity to assassinate Mr. Jiang,¡± What was that? ¡°Assassination?!¡± Jiang Yu subconsciously shouted. ¡°When did this happen?¡± He didn¡¯t know any of this at all! ¡°Before your college entrance examination, Young Master.¡± The butler¡¯s expression became even grimmer, ¡°At that time, Mr. Jiang didn¡¯t tell you the truth because you were preparing for the exam, Young Master. At that time, he was seriously injured and was rescued in the hospital for an entire night. It was just that you were busy preparing for the exam at that time and didn¡¯t notice it.¡± Jiang Yu recalled that his father wasn¡¯t as strict with him as before. He didn¡¯t even talk to him for a few days. At that time, his assistant said that he had gone on a business trip. He did not think too much about it, but he remembered that his father had looked haggard when he came back. He thought that his father was tired from work, so he didn¡¯t think too much about it. Now that he thought about it, how could it be such a coincidence? His father¡¯s poor health was probably the root cause of his illness. He hadn¡¯t noticed before! ¡°Humph! How dare they hurt my father? I won¡¯t let them off!¡± Jiang Yu clenched his fists. He was indeed rebellious, but that did not mean that he did not love his family. If anyone dared to touch a single hair on his family, he would pay them back a hundredfold. ¡°Young Master, don¡¯t be agitated.¡± Afraid that he would do something rash, the butler quickly stopped him and persuaded him, ¡°Now, Mr. Jiang has his plans. Young Master, you don¡¯t have to worry. Besides, Mr. Jiang doesn¡¯t want you to know about this. Don¡¯t tell him that I told you¡­¡± Jiang Yu naturally understood this. However, he couldn¡¯t just do nothing. Moreover¡­ Who was the person who hurt his father? Their bodyguards were all retired special forces soldiers. His father was protected by layers of protection, and ordinary people could not hurt him. Who could do so? Jiang Yu quickly thought of the cultivator around Chairman Wang. [The mission is to be a successful one!] The system¡¯s sudden voice startled Jiang Yu. It was too sudden to issue a mission at this time. However, it was just right. It was time for him to cultivate and breakthrough. ¡°Butler, you can go out first. I¡¯ll call for you again if there¡¯s anything.¡± Jiang Yu¡¯s expression was still serious. The butler was a little worried and asked in a low voice, ¡°Then this matter is under your control, Young Master¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t tell father.¡± If he sold out the butler, how would he know about his father? Anyway, his father would never tell him the truth. Thinking of this, Jiang Yu couldn¡¯t help but sigh. A year later, the world would undergo a drastic change with the revival of spirit qi. The only thing he could do now was to cultivate harder and slowly guide his father¡¯s body to recover in a year. As for the Wang family, he would not let any of them off! After the butler left, the system informed Jiang Yu of the mission details. [Mission: Your spiritual power has broken through to the first level of the Foundation Establishment stage. If you fail, you will be rewarded with 999 Spirit Nurturing Pills.] Level one Foundation Establishment? Spirit Nurturing Pill? If he remembered correctly, it had been half a month since he reached the previous stage. He had not reached the first level of the Foundation Establishment stage yet. [Host, don¡¯t be anxious. There¡¯s a huge gap between the current cultivation of the first level of the Foundation Establishment state. It¡¯s normal that you can¡¯t get a breakthrough in only half a month. Moreover, many people can¡¯t reach the first level of the Foundation Establishment state even if they cultivate for their entire lives.] The system did not seem worried at all. Its voice was even a little cheerful. [According to your physique, it won¡¯t take long for you to experience a breakthrough.] Ever since he started cultivating, his breakthrough speed was indeed very fast. But was it possible that his talent would end just like that? Jiang Yu¡¯s lips twitched and he probed, ¡°What if I can¡¯t break through to the first level of the Foundation Establishment realm in my lifetime?¡± The system was speechless. Where did his previous confident and ambitious host go? How could he ask such a question? [Impossible!] The system was very certain. [Your cultivation speed is unprecedented and will never be seen again. It¡¯s not like we¡¯re pulling up seedlings to help them grow. You still have a lot of room for a breakthrough. I can feel it.] In fact, if he had not broken through the space, the system would be the first to escape. It didn¡¯t want a useless host! Of course, the system didn¡¯t voice out these thoughts. Otherwise, Jiang Yu wouldn¡¯t know what to think if he knew. ¡°Then what is the Spirit Nurturing Pill?¡± Jiang Yu opened the system store and found that he still could not buy the pill. He could only buy them once he broke through. What he could buy now was still the top-notch Spiritual Recovery Pill. [It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s just a pill that can recover spiritual power, a pill that is even more advanced than a top-grade Spiritual Recovery Pill. But the effect of the Spirit Nurturing Pill is 100 times that of a top-grade Spirit Restoring Pill.] Jiang Yu gasped. How much spiritual energy would he recover? Moreover, the punishment for this mission was the Spiritual Nurturing Pill. In other words, if he failed the mission, he might not be able to experience a breakthrough even if he ate all 100 Spiritual Nurturing Pills. What kind of level was the first level of the Foundation Establishment stage? [Why are you thinking so much? Just practice!] The System urged, [Don¡¯t forget that strange Immortal Cultivator. He¡¯s your opponent. You can¡¯t be worse than him!] The host it brought must not be worse than a native Immortal Cultivator! Jiang Yu immediately started cultivating. He first bought a large number of Spirit Recovery Pills from the system store and ate them in large mouthfuls. The butler had been waiting outside the door and was a little curious. He looked into the window and found that his Young Master was eating some chocolate beans. But he remembered that the Young Master didn¡¯t order any chocolate beans. Where did all these come from? Could it be those¡­ The butler sighed. Immortal novels were harmful to people. He wondered how much money the Young Master had spent on these fake immortal pills. He had to report it to Mr. Jiang later. The Young Master was cheated of money again. Meanwhile, Jiang Yu could feel that his body was full of spiritual power after taking the pill. It was as if something had broken through, but something was missing. Did he experience a breakthrough? Jiang Yu didn¡¯t know and asked the system. ¡°What¡¯s my situation now?¡± The system did not remind him that the mission was completed, so he probably hasn¡¯t. However, the feeling he had just now was very similar to the feeling he had when he had broken through. [No breakthrough.] The system explained, [Host, you have broken through to the second level of the East-rising Purple Qi, but you still haven¡¯t broken through to the first level of the Foundation Establishment.] These were two different skills. Jiang Yu was speechless. By a strange combination of factors, another skill had actually broken through. What was this? ¡°Then should I continue to take pills now?¡± How much more did he have to eat? As he was thinking, Jiang Yu suddenly heard a system notification. [Mission failed. Punishing 999 spiritual pills.] Jiang Yu sighed. He had never completed a mission before. But what else could he do? Eat some pills. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 28 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Seeing that the table that he had just cleared was covered with pills again, he continued to eat expressionlessly. He did not know if there was a limit to the number of pills he could consume. There would be side effects if one ate too many tonics, so what would happen if one ate too many pregnancy pills? [Don¡¯t worry, host. There are no side effects.] The system even began to hum a song, [Your physique is very good, you can withstand a large amount of spiritual energy.] ¡°So ordinary people can¡¯t handle it? For example, what would happen to my father if he ate the Revival Spirit Pill?¡± Jiang Yu asked curiously. [Non-immortal cultivators will suffer a backlash if they take the medicinal pill while they are still in the water. They will faint if they take a light blow, but they will recover after resting for a few days.] The system tried to persuade him, [Don¡¯t even think about giving the pill to your father. You should focus on your cultivation. It¡¯ll be more reliable to guide your father¡¯s body to recover.] Jiang Yu didn¡¯t reply, but an idea suddenly popped up in his mind. How about letting his father cultivate together with him? However, Jiang Yu soon gave up on this idea. His father would probably think that he was talking nonsense. Jiang Yu finally finished all the pills on the table, but he felt his stomach swell and even hiccupped. After eating the medicinal pills, he naturally had to continue cultivating. He came to the bedside to meditate and felt his spiritual power quickly shuttle through his body. He originally thought that he would slowly break through like this. However, Jiang Yu didn¡¯t expect that after some time, the circulation of his spiritual power would suddenly slow down. He felt puzzled and wanted to ask the system. However, before he could ask, the spiritual power in his body disappeared in an instant. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± At that moment, he really couldn¡¯t feel any spiritual power. [Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s compressed spiritual energy. You¡¯ll be able to feel it in a while.] The system explained calmly as if it was watching a show from the side. Jiang Yu was puzzled. This thing can be compressed? [The strength of the compressed Spiritual Power is ten times that of your previous power. After the Spiritual Power in your body is converted and compressed, your body can store more of them.] It sounded good, but wouldn¡¯t it be even harder for him to break through? Before Jiang Yu could ask the next question, he suddenly felt a burst of purple spiritual power appear in his body. [This is the compression of spiritual energy.] The system automatically opened the system store for Jiang Yu. [Host, you can continue to consume the pill now.] Jiang Yu checked the store and wondered if he could buy some Spirit Regeneration Pills. Otherwise, it would be too slow if he only relied on high-grade pills alone. However, he saw that the pill in the store was still gray. In other words, this product had not been unlocked. He had yet to break through to the first level of the Foundation Establishment stage. Jiang Yu felt dejected, but he quickly pulled himself together. He bought many high-grade Spirit Restoring Pills and ate them like crazy before continuing his cultivation. The system was very pleased. Now, the host already knows that he has voluntarily taken the pill to cultivate. [Don¡¯t worry, host. It¡¯ll be soon.] What nonsense was it saying? If it was easy to reach the first level of the Foundation Establishment stage, he wouldn¡¯t have taken so many pills. How many tiny dots were there? After consuming the pill, Jiang Yu continued to cultivate. He felt that the East-rising Purple Qi in his body was gradually becoming more proficient. Finally, the day of cultivation was over. Jiang Yu could feel that he was much stronger than before, but breaking through¡­ He really didn¡¯t feel it. Could it be that even after such training, he still did not break through yet? No way! [Calm down. Continue cultivating.] The system reminded him, [You haven¡¯t broken through yet. You¡¯re still far from the first level of the Foundation Establishment stage.] ¡°Impossible!¡± Jiang Yu remained skeptical about this. ¡°Doesn¡¯t that mean that I¡¯ve already broken through?¡± The spiritual energy had turned into compressed spiritual energy. Was this something that could be achieved without a breakthrough? [Of course not.] However, the system did not give an explanation. [Anyway, you should continue cultivating. If the mission is completed, there will be a notification.] Jiang Yu wanted to ask back, but he suddenly felt a wave of heat coming from his lower abdomen. He subconsciously lowered his head and touched his abdomen with one hand, but he saw a different scene. This was¡­ [Oh, host, you¡¯ve entered the Foundation Establishment stage.] Jiang Yu ignored the System¡¯s voice and focused on what he saw. He saw a purple light spot appear on his body. The light spot wasn¡¯t big, but Jiang Yu could feel the spiritual energy contained within it. [That¡¯s all your spiritual energy.] The system explained, [After that, all the spiritual power you recover will gather in your abdomen.] However, Jiang Yu wasn¡¯t only concerned about this. How could he see the situation inside his body? ¡°Did I learn x-ray vision?¡± Jiang Yu asked, ¡°Then can I see the cultivation of others?¡± [Maybe.] The system was not sure either, [Logically, you can see your own state, and you can also see other people¡¯s state.] That would be too convenient! Jiang Yu suddenly laughed, leaving the system speechless. [Host, don¡¯t be happy just yet. You haven¡¯t broken through to the first level of the Foundation Establishment stage yet. If you don¡¯t hurry up, the mission will fail again.] However, Jiang Yu didn¡¯t care, ¡°It¡¯s fine. I have to rely on medicinal pills to cultivate anyway. If I fail, I¡¯ll get more free medicinal pills.¡± That way, he would also save some money. After that, Jiang Yu continued to cultivate in his room. The butler didn¡¯t see him for several days, wondering if the Young Master didn¡¯t need to eat. He peeked through Jiang Yu¡¯s room and saw that the Young Master was just sitting on the bed with his eyes closed. The butler sighed. Cultivation novels were really harmful. However, after the butler left, Jiang Yu would practice the sword control technique. Although he had the task of breaking through to the first level of the Foundation Establishment stage, he did not forget to cultivate his sword control technique. A few days later, Jiang Yu¡¯s sword control technique was greatly improved, and he could already ride a sword and fly. However, he still had not broken through to the first level of the Foundation Establishment stage. However, he could see that the purple light spot in his abdomen was getting bigger and bigger, and the spiritual power it contained was also getting richer and richer. He did not know when he would be able to break through. Jiang Yu thought to himself that it was time for him to go out for a walk since he had stayed in the villa for so many days. [Yes, hurry up and go out to take a look. Find other Feng Shui treasures.] The system reminded him, [There must be other places suitable for cultivation in this city. It¡¯s not just this villa.] Perhaps this place was more suitable for cultivation. Therefore, Jiang Yu decided to go out. The moment she pushed open the door, he bumped into the butler who was eavesdropping. ¡°Young¡­ Young Master.¡± The butler was so scared that he shivered and quickly asked, ¡°Young Master, where are you going?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going out for a walk.¡± Jiang Yu said nonchalantly, pretending not to notice what the butler was doing, ¡°Don¡¯t let any outsiders in while I¡¯m away,¡± Jiang Yu couldn¡¯t be bothered with him. During this time? How many days will the Young Master be out? ¡°Young Master, I¡¯ll go with you. Many people are watching you outside now. They want to use you to threaten Mr. Jiang. We have to protect your safety.¡± ¡°No need. Do you think I need your protection?¡± Jiang Yu asked calmly. Thinking of Jiang Yu¡¯s performance the last time he went down the mountain, the butler swallowed his saliva. It seemed like he really didn¡¯t need it.

Chapter 29 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation However, the butler doesn¡¯t seem to be at ease if the Young Master went out like this. The butler thought that he would send a few more bodyguards to tail after the Young Master. When Jiang Yu disappeared from his line of sight, the butler immediately sent someone to follow him and report the matter to Father Jiang. ¡°Mr. Jiang, the Young Master has left the villa. I¡¯ve sent someone to follow him. He¡¯s not in any danger for the time being.¡± Father Jiang was helpless when he heard that his son had gone out again. However, he could not restrict his movements and could only protect his safety from afar. ¡°Send someone to watch over him. Don¡¯t let him do anything out of line.¡± However, not long after the butler hung up the phone, the old man received a call from the bodyguard. ¡°Not good¡­ The Young Master, he¡­ He went deep into the mountains and forests. There was no signal in this place, so we didn¡¯t dare to follow him.¡± What was that? ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re not following the wrong person?¡± The butler was shocked again. What was Young Master doing in such a place? ¡°How could I follow the wrong person? The Young Master did go inside. If we followed him, we wouldn¡¯t be able to contact you.¡± It was bad. Should they follow or not? Thinking of the scene he saw that day, the butler sighed helplessly. ¡°All of you, wait outside! Wait until Young Master comes out!¡± If he didn¡¯t come out after a long time, they would have to hurry in and look for him! The butler thought for a long time before calling Father Jiang again. When the other party heard the news, he gripped his phone tighter and scolded him. ¡°What did you say? That son of mine ran into the deep forests in the mountains?!¡± The butler held the phone far away, yet he could still hear Father Jiang¡¯s furious voice. He was almost deaf. ¡°Yes¡­ Yes, the bodyguard had just received the news that there was no signal there. Even if they went in, we wouldn¡¯t be receiving any news.¡± Then, the butler hurriedly said, ¡°But don¡¯t worry, Mr. Jiang. Last time, Young Master knocked down more than ten bodyguards with his bare hands. Young Master won¡¯t be in danger!¡± Father Jiang was speechless. Even if he knew that his son was powerful, as a father, how could he not be worried? ¡°Tell me the location, I¡¯ll go find him myself!¡± Even if it was deep in the mountains, he had to go! Hearing this, the butler was scared half to death and hurriedly persuaded, ¡°Mr. Jiang, calm down first. Not to mention we¡¯re deep in the forest. Think of your situation, you¡¯re also in danger now! Aren¡¯t you willing to give those people a chance to target you?¡± With that, Father Jiang calmed down a little and stopped being impulsive. The Wang family had tried everything to take his life. If he went out now, he would simply be courting death. Why was his son so troublesome?! Feeling that the man on the other side of the phone had calmed down, the butler continued to persuade him, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Jiang. The Young Master is very powerful now. He¡¯s not at a disadvantage even when facing wild beasts. Young Master has grown up. You don¡¯t have to worry about him all the time.¡± At the thought of this, Father Jiang sighed again. ¡°No matter what, he¡¯s only eighteen years old. He¡¯s easily impulsive. How can I not be worried?¡± Forget it, let him venture outside. It was only this year anyway. A year later, when he understood the dangers of society, he would obediently come back to inherit the family property. Jiang Yu suddenly sneezed. [Host, are you feeling cold? The temperature in this deep forest was very low. Be careful not to catch a cold.] The system reminded him, but Jiang Yu shook his head. ¡°But I don¡¯t feel cold at all.¡± Someone must be talking bad about him behind his back! Perhaps it was his father! [Host, you should bring more clothes out. The temperature will drop at night here. Don¡¯t fall sick at a place like this.] The system was still very worried, but Jiang Yu shook his head. ¡°You worry too much.¡± Did the system forget that he still had a spirit bag? Arriving at an open space, Jiang Yu opened the spirit pouch. There were all kinds of food, clothing, and even sports cars inside. The system was shocked. When did the host put so many things inside? As a system, it didn¡¯t know about it at all! Fortunately, the host¡¯s spiritual power is very strong now. It¡¯s already strong enough to put so many things into the pouch. Jiang Yu took a bag of snacks and started eating, ¡°I¡¯m a little hungry. I¡¯ll eat something first.¡± He continued to walk deeper, but he found that the deeper he walked, the lower the temperature. Until he saw a patch of snow. ¡°It¡­ It¡¯s snowing here!¡± Jiang Yu found it unbelievable. He didn¡¯t seem to be far from the villa. Could it snow on this mountain? But this mountain wasn¡¯t that tall. The system explained, [After a year, spiritual power will recover. The global climate will change. The mountains are the places with the richest spiritual power, so it¡¯s very easy to be affected. It¡¯s normal for it to snow.] Jiang Yu immediately took out a down jacket from his spirit pouch and put it on. The system was shocked by Jiang Yu¡¯s preparations. He even prepared a down jacket. ¡°Fortunately, I prepared a down jacket. Otherwise, I would have to go home.¡± Putting on his down jacket and gloves, Jiang Yu continued walking until he arrived at an empty space. At a glance, there was nothing but white snow. Jiang Yu suddenly wanted to ski. He took out the sleigh from his spiritual pouch. After everything was ready, he began to ski. The system could only praise the host¡¯s thoughtfulness. He had brought everything for the four seasons. After Jiang Yu finished a few rounds of skis, he suddenly began to use his spiritual power to practice on the snow. This was a good opportunity for cultivation. The system suddenly reminded him, [Host, you need to ski without leaving any traces on the snow.] How could he do that? Jiang Yu looked back and found the deep marks on the sleigh. Well, that would be difficult. [Not leaving any traces on the snow means that your body is extremely pure and your spiritual power has reached a new height. Therefore, host, since you¡¯re here, why don¡¯t you hurry up and cultivate!] That was easy to say. Jiang Yu snorted coldly and began to try to use his spiritual power to ski. It wasn¡¯t easy to use spiritual power here. He even felt that his heart was willing but his strength was insufficient. He can¡¯t use his strength. He had used too much force and had fallen. The cold snow fell on his face and chilled him to his bones. Fortunately, his body was rich in spiritual power, so this bit of cold was nothing to him. After several rounds of training, Jiang Yu was already able to skillfully use his spiritual power to drive the sleigh. However, he still left traces on the snow. At this moment, the system issued the mission. [Cultivate movement technique. If you fail the mission, you will be punished with a top-notch movement technique.] If Jiang Yu was given a mission at this time, he would have to cultivate. [Host, try to find a way again. Just like how you used Qinggong to float on water, you will definitely be able to do it.] ¡°That¡¯s easy for you to say!¡± Jiang Yu said coldly. What should he do? He practiced a few more times and felt a little tired, so he found a place to rest while thinking about how to make the snow not leave any traces. However, the smell of roasted meat suddenly wafted into his nose. What was going on? Was there someone else in the mountains? Following the fragrance, Jiang Yu looked over. Before he could see them, he heard their voice. ¡°Master, when will the roast meat be ready? I¡¯m already very hungry.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 30 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation A girl¡¯s voice? Jiang Yu was puzzled and lightened his footsteps at the same time. ¡°Soon, soon. Wait a little longer. You won¡¯t be able to eat much.¡± The man¡¯s voice sounded like a middle-aged man. Curious, Jiang Yu took a few more steps forward and saw three people sitting in front of the fire, roasting a lot of meat. Because of his cultivation, Jiang Yu¡¯s vision had improved a lot. He could even see the oil stains on the meat and the crispy skin. *Rumble* The stomach protested first. The system was speechless. [Do you want to be discovered?] Jiang Yu expressed that he didn¡¯t want to either. But how could he control his body¡¯s reaction? The snow was already very quiet, so the sound in Jiang Yu¡¯s stomach was very obvious. Hence¡­ It wasn¡¯t a surprise that he was discovered so quickly. ¡°Who¡¯s there?!¡± Wait¡­ This voice was¡­ Jiang Yu frowned. Since he had already been discovered, he decided not to hide. It was only then that he noticed that the person sitting in the middle of the three was the old Daoist priest who had gone to his villa. What a coincidence. Jiang Yu walked out openly and even greeted the old Daoist priest, ¡°Hello, we meet again.¡± Seeing that it was Jiang Yu, the old Daoist priest was also very surprised. He didn¡¯t expect him to come to this deep mountain forest alone. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Realizing that there was no bodyguard behind him, the old Daoist priest probed, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that something will happen to you?¡± ¡°What can happen to me? Isn¡¯t it just going up the mountain?¡± Jiang Yu bypassed the old Daoist priest and walked directly toward the bonfire. ¡°Who is he?¡± The other Daoist priest, whom the girl called Master, asked as he looked at Jiang Yu warily. This person¡¯s figure and physique¡­ He was not like an ordinary person at all. ¡°He is the owner of the villa that had a large amount of Spiritual Energy.¡± ¡°But he¡¯s not a cultivator,¡± the old Daoist priest explained. He wasn¡¯t? Her master frowned even more. He never misjudged people. How could this man not be a cultivator?! ¡°Hmm? I feel like you¡¯re not old either,¡± The girl was curious and wanted to approach Jiang Yu, but she was stopped by her master. ¡°Don¡¯t come near him! This man is at least a cultivator,¡± Her master said warily. Although he didn¡¯t know what method he used to make the old Daoist think that he wasn¡¯t a cultivator, the young man couldn¡¯t escape his eyes. What was his purpose in hiding his identity as a cultivator? ¡°Impossible!¡± The old Daoist priest was the first to object, ¡°How can he be a cultivator? I thought the same thing back then. I almost got sent to a mental hospital because of what he said!¡± He was just an ordinary man. At most, he had some talent, but he was not a cultivator like they were. But the main reason to write him off was because he would have sent the old Daoist to the mental hospital just mentioning the word ¡°cultivating¡±? As such, the girl¡¯s master found it even stranger. The girl leaned closer to the man and observed him for a while before saying, ¡°Master, I feel like he might really not be a cultivator because I don¡¯t sense any cultivator aura from him.¡± Was that so? Did he make a wrong judgment? At this moment, Jiang Yu was ¡°gathering¡± information from the system. ¡®What level are they on?¡¯ This was what Jiang Yu was most concerned about. If his level was higher than his, then he would not be able to escape today. [Don¡¯t worry, the master is at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment stage, not much better than you.] The system explained calmly, [With your strength, it won¡¯t be long before you¡¯re stronger than them.] He was also at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment stage. It seemed that their cultivation levels were about the same. [But I think you need to pay attention to this girl.] The System reminded him, [I can feel that this girl is very talented. When the world¡¯s spirit qi recovers, she will cultivate very quickly.] Was that so? Jiang Yu looked at the young girl who was going to be able to get the title. Right now, the young girl still had the appearance of a cute girl. As for the spiritual power in her body, he could not feel much. However, the system would not be wrong about her. The girl¡¯s physique seemed very pure. Perhaps she was suitable for cultivation. ¡°No, he must be an Immortal Cultivator. And his cultivation isn¡¯t low.¡± The old Daoist priest was very shocked. ¡°That day, I clearly¡­¡± Could it be that this kid was lying to him? This time, facing the three of them, Jiang Yu openly admitted it. ¡°That¡¯s right, I am a cultivator.¡± The old Daoist priest and the young girl were very shocked. ¡°You¡­ How dare you lie to me!¡± The old Daoist priest was so angry that his face turned red. He had been fooled by a child! Jiang Yu ignored him and sat down by the fire. He picked up a skewer of chicken drumsticks and grilled them over the fire. ¡°I don¡¯t know you, so of course I have to be wary of you. Who would tell their true situation to a stranger?¡± The old Daoist priest had nothing to say, but he was very angry. The girl was also shocked and said in disbelief, ¡°How is that possible? How could there be other cultivators in this world besides me? You must be lying!¡± Only then did Jiang Yu size up the girl. The young girl seemed to have been raised to be very naive. All her emotions were written on her face, and she did not hide her hostility towards him at all. Even if such a person became an immortal cultivator, she would be easily schemed against in the future. ¡°Your master knows better than you whether or not I am a cultivator,¡± Jiang Yu shrugged and wanted to pick up a chicken drumstick to eat, but he suddenly felt a gust of wind. He immediately put down the chicken drumstick and took a few steps back. He turned around and realized that the old Daoist priest had attacked him. ¡°You have to pay the price for lying to me!¡± The old Daoist priest launched another attack, but Jiang Yu neutralized them one by one, which shocked everyone. What level had Jiang Yu¡¯s cultivation reached now? He could defeat a cultivator that was so much older than him? Could it be¡­ Jiang Yu was also a very talented person? After a few exchanges, the old Daoist priest was already a little tired, but Jiang Yu didn¡¯t seem to be affected at all. [You¡¯re so weak, host, yet you¡¯re still the stronger one.] The system said proudly, [As expected of someone I nurtured.] How did it become the one who nurtured him? Jiang Yu muttered in his heart. However, when he thought of those free pills, he couldn¡¯t refute the claim. The system had helped him a lot. ¡°Stop fighting!¡± The master shouted, ¡°What he said makes sense. You don¡¯t know him, so it¡¯s normal for him to hide his strength from you.¡± ¡°Sit down, young man. I have something to ask you.¡± Jiang Yu didn¡¯t think much of it. It just so happened that he also wanted to understand the situation in the next few days. ¡°The spiritual energy that appeared before appeared on your body¡­?¡± The master looked at the old Daoist priest. This matter was very important to the girl¡¯s recovery. ¡°That¡¯s right. At that time, I only felt a moment of spiritual energy, so I didn¡¯t investigate. Now it seems that this kid was lying to me!¡± The old Daoist priest was still angry. If this kid hadn¡¯t lied to him, he wouldn¡¯t have needed to search for so long. It was time to find a solution to Yao ¡®er¡¯s physical condition. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 31 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Yao ¡®er was the young girl¡¯s name. She was a very talented cultivator, but the spiritual energy in her body was exhausted and it was difficult for her to cultivate. Therefore, they had to constantly look for places with abundant spiritual energy to help her cultivate. Previously, they had sensed a large amount of spiritual energy in the villa, so they wanted to go there and investigate. Jiang Yu didn¡¯t pay any attention to the old Daoist Priest¡¯s accusation. He picked up the roasted chicken drumstick and started eating. Although he had snacks in his spiritual pouch, he didn¡¯t bring roasted meat. ¡°You¡­ We roasted this, what right do you have to eat it?!¡± Yao ¡®er was furious and tried to snatch the drumstick from his hand. Jiang Yu wasn¡¯t greedy and gave them the remaining drumsticks. ¡°Thank you for your hospitality,¡± Jiang Yu mumbled, angering Yao ¡®er even more. ¡°Yao ¡®er, calm down,¡± Her master stopped her. Then he turned to Jiang Yu again, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated. At the same time, the system was berating Jiang Yu in his head. [Host, why did you expose your identity? I don¡¯t know if these two are friends or foes. What if they plot against you in the future?] ¡®Didn¡¯t you say that their cultivation isn¡¯t as high as mine?¡¯ Jiang Yu asked in confusion. ¡®Then what am I afraid of?¡¯ [You¡­ You must be wary of others!] The system was speechless. Its host was usually smart, so why was he becoming weird now? ¡®I know. I don¡¯t need your warnings,¡¯ Jiang Yu finished the drumstick, took out a tissue from his spirit pouch, wiped it, and threw it back into the trash can. This action stunned the three people on the other side. The old Daoist Priest naturally knew about the spirit pouch. Most people didn¡¯t have this item. Even if they did, they couldn¡¯t use it as they please, especially when they didn¡¯t have enough spiritual power. Using a spirit pouch required a large amount of spirit energy, but this kid, who was not even twenty years old, could use the spirit pouch at will. This kid¡¯s cultivation was at least on par with his! Meanwhile, the master did not pay attention to this. He only asked, ¡°So, how do you cultivate? You look young, but your cultivation level is quite high.¡± Now that the spiritual energy in the world was exhausted, it was impossible to cultivate to such a level in a short time. No matter how high one¡¯s talent was, it was almost impossible. How did this kid do it? Jiang Yu paused and said with a relaxed expression, ¡°I relied on luck and didn¡¯t cultivate much myself.¡± Of course, he couldn¡¯t reveal the system or those free pills. Wouldn¡¯t he be asking for trouble otherwise? ¡°Tsk! Liar!¡± Yao ¡®er had a look of disdain on her face. Was this guy trying to fool them? So what if his cultivation was high? None of his words were on point. ¡°Yao ¡®er! Don¡¯t spout nonsense!¡± ¡°It¡¯s rare enough for him to cultivate to such a level in such a short period.¡± ¡°Humph!¡± Yao ¡®er was still unconvinced. The little girl pouted and tilted her head to the side. She was quite cute. Meanwhile, Jiang Yu took out some desserts from his spirit pouch and continued eating. The Master deliberated and continued to ask, ¡°You rely on luck¡­ How¡­ What do you mean? Who could be so lucky? They had spent most of their lives cultivating, but this kid was already on the same level as them before he was even twenty years old. Moreover, according to him, he hadn¡¯t cultivated much yet. How was that possible? The Master had a feeling that Jiang Yu was still lying, so he continued to ask indirectly. ¡°I accidentally ate a pill and became a cultivator. Of course, I only found out later.¡± He didn¡¯t understand what he meant, and the Master didn¡¯t know what he meant. ¡°Can you elaborate? I don¡¯t understand. What pill did you take?¡± The Master asked anxiously. ¡°Then how did you obtain the pills?¡± Based on his description, he must have eaten the Clear Heart Pill. Otherwise, how could he suddenly become a cultivator? The problem was¡­ Clear Heart Pills was priceless. Where on earth did this kid get it from? It was also possible that what he ate was not a Clear Heart Pill and that he was still lying. The Master was still suspicious. After several questions, Jiang Yu sighed helplessly and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you believe me? I told you, I obtained this pill by accident.¡± ¡°I failed the college entrance examination a month ago and wanted to commit suicide. In the end, I found a pill by the roadside. Anyway, I didn¡¯t want to live anymore. It didn¡¯t matter what the consequences were after I ate it.¡± What? ¡°So, you became a Cultivator just like that?¡± The old Daoist Priest opened his mouth in shock, not knowing what to say for a moment. Was this real? If so, this kid must be very lucky! ¡°Now it seems that it is.¡± Jiang Yu seemed to be reminiscing, ¡°After eating the pill, I checked the information and realized that I had started cultivating.¡± ¡°What pill did you eat?¡± The Master asked anxiously. When he saw Jiang Yu take out a mid-grade Clear Heart Pill from his spirit pouch, he was even more shocked. He originally thought that it was just a low-grade Clear Heart Pill. A low-grade Clear Heart Pill was very rare, let alone a mid-grade one¡­ What kind of luck did this kid have?! ¡°Pills? What kind of pill is that?¡± Yao ¡®er was both curious and a little afraid. She recalled the excruciating pain she felt after taking the pill. She did not want to experience it a second time. ¡°I checked the information and said that this is a mid-grade Clear Heart Pill. It doesn¡¯t seem to be available on the market.¡± ¡°Where did you get it?¡± asked the Master. ¡°When I woke up after taking the pill, I saw the pill by my bed. I took it and kept it since then. I don¡¯t know where it came from.¡± Why did it still sound so bizarre? The Master didn¡¯t believe him, but seeing Jiang Yu¡¯s evasive eyes, he knew that he didn¡¯t want to reveal anything about where he got his hands on one, so he didn¡¯t ask further. But one thing was sure since there were still mid-grade Clear Heart Pills in the world, there was a way to obtain them. It was only a matter of time before he got it. The Master kept this in mind and continued to ask, ¡°Then when you took it back then, did you feel uncomfortable?¡± He wanted to make sure that this kid was not taking the Clear Heart Pill. These medicinal pills were so difficult to obtain, but he managed to obtain two at once. It didn¡¯t seem very believable. Perhaps what he took really wasn¡¯t the Clear Heart Pill. ¡°If you¡¯re talking about feeling very uncomfortable, I don¡¯t think so.¡± Jiang Yu thought about it and shook his head. ¡°I did have a headache. I went home and took a nap. When I woke up, everything was normal. I didn¡¯t feel anything uncomfortable. Later, I found that my body was stronger and my skin was much better than before.¡± It had indeed cleared the impurities in his body. The Master pondered and thought about what else he could ask, but there seemed to be nothing suspicious. Except for the fact he refused to reveal where he had obtained the medicinal pill. Why wouldn¡¯t he reveal it? Did he not want to share the pills? Or was there another reason? However, it was inappropriate to expose too much in the current situation. ¡°Is there anything else you want to ask? I¡¯ll try my best to answer whatever I can.¡± Jiang Yu appeared very calm. The Master and the old Daoist Priest finally shook their heads. Jiang Yu was relieved. He had finally managed to fool them.

Chapter 32 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After exchanging names, Jiang Yu learned that the Master was a teacher from a nearby Daoist Temple. His surname was Lu. Jiang Yu didn¡¯t reveal his true identity, and they didn¡¯t pursue this matter, so he didn¡¯t ask further. On the contrary, Yao ¡®er was very curious about his identity. She asked without any hesitation, ¡°So, you¡¯re just an ordinary person? How could an ordinary person stay in the village for such a long time? You must be a young master!¡± ¡®This girl is quite smart, which could be a little troublesome.¡¯ ¡°My life has nothing to do with you.¡± After saying that, Jiang Yu stood up and said goodbye, ¡°I still want to go to the forest to take a look around. I won¡¯t stay any longer.¡± They still had to go deep into the mountains. Master Lu felt that Jiang Yu wasn¡¯t as simple as he looked. If he really was cultivating by accident, there was no need for him to come to a place like this. After thinking for a while, he still warned him, ¡°It¡¯s best not to let others know that you have the Clear Heart Pill. Although there are few cultivators in this world, most of them are dependent on large factions. If they know that you have the pill, you will be in great danger.¡± Jiang Yu didn¡¯t think that he was lying. Wasn¡¯t there a ready-made cultivator by Chairman Wang¡¯s side? He was most likely the culprit behind the attack on his father. ¡°I understand. Thank you.¡± Jiang Yu expressed his gratitude and left immediately. The Daoist Priest and the others watched him leave thoughtfully. ¡°So, do you believe what he said?¡± The old Daoist Priest was hinting at something, ¡°Those Clear Heart Pills are very rare. I feel that what he said isn¡¯t entirely true.¡± ¡°Some of it is real, some of it is fake. All we can do is wait and see, but at least he won¡¯t be an enemy.¡± After Master Lu finished speaking, he distributed the chicken legs. ¡°Eat it. It¡¯ll get cold if you don¡¯t eat them.¡± Once Jiang Yu was far enough, he found an open space and took out the RV he had brought him from his spirit pouch. [Host, why did you bring this?] The system was shocked by his courage. He dared to bring such a big RV with him. If the spirit power was insufficient, the touring car might fall out of the spirit pouch. ¡°If I don¡¯t bring this, where can I sleep?¡± Jiang Yu rolled his eyes, ¡°What? Don¡¯t tell me you want me to sleep in the snow?¡± Wouldn¡¯t he be frozen into a popsicle the next day? [When you left the villa, you didn¡¯t expect it to snow here. If it doesn¡¯t snow, you can sleep on the ground, you know¡­] The system muttered. It felt that the host was not out to cultivate. He was out to travel. Deep in the mountains and forests, the air was fresh, the birds were singing, and the flowers were fragrant. It was very suitable for relaxation. ¡°Since I can bring the RV here, why can¡¯t I?¡± After entering the RV, Jiang Yu lay on the bed and felt all the muscles in his body relax. ¡°I won¡¯t mistreat myself for training.¡± The system was speechless. ¡®Alright, on account of the host¡¯s hard work in cultivation, I won¡¯t argue with him.¡¯ The system thought. After lying down for a while, Jiang Yu took a shower, changed his clothes, and prepared to sleep. He had already covered himself with the blanket when he suddenly remembered that he hadn¡¯t cultivated yet and hadn¡¯t completed his mission. ¡®I forgot to practice my body technique.¡¯ At this moment, the system reminded him, [You don¡¯t have to practice anymore. If you fail the mission, the movement technique will be sent to you. You should read the book and practice properly.] Come on¡­ He was forced to win. ¡°Actually, if you give me some time, I might be able to complete the mission.¡± Jiang Yu said casually, but it caused the system to complain. [I don¡¯t think so. That will only delay the punishment.] After all, humans were very lazy. ¡°There¡¯s no need to conclude so early.¡± Jiang Yu didn¡¯t seem to mind. ¡°You can give it a try next time. Give me more time and see if I can complete the mission.¡± Although¡­ This feeling of winning while lying down was not bad. The punishment was soon issued. Jiang Yu flipped open the book after receiving the movement technique. There were still a bunch of words that he couldn¡¯t understand and a bunch of pictures that he seemed to be able to understand. ¡°Hmm¡­ Can you translate this book? Are you showing me the Heavenly Book?¡± Jiang Yu felt his heart breaking down. If he couldn¡¯t understand the words, he could only imitate the movements from the pictures. [I don¡¯t understand either. Don¡¯t look at me. You can also treat this as a training session.] ¡®The soup for the soul truly tastes wonderful,¡¯ Jiang Yu thought. He had no choice but to comprehend the movement technique according to the pictures. The night passed. Jiang Yu had cultivated for the entire night, so he naturally rested right after. He felt that he hadn¡¯t fully comprehended the movement technique, so he could only practice more. After leaving the RV, Jiang Yu put it away and went to a slope in the snow to learn. In the beginning, he was unable to completely master the movement technique, and he stumbled like yesterday. Slowly, he mastered some techniques, and the mark on the snow became lighter and lighter. After practicing for a while, Jiang Yu came to a rock and began to meditate. It could be said that he spent the rest of the day cultivating. What Jiang Yu didn¡¯t notice was that Daoist Priest and his group were approaching and saw him cultivating. ¡°Is he sleeping? Why isn¡¯t he leaning against something? Can someone really fall asleep while sitting down?¡± Yao ¡®er was very confused, but soon, she saw Jiang Yu get up and start to ski with the sleigh. However, his movement technique was different from ordinary people¡¯s. Master Lu watched for a while and couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°This is a movement technique that only exists in legends. I didn¡¯t expect him to be able to do it. He does have some power!¡± The old Daoist Priest nodded repeatedly, regretting not taking him as his disciple. At the same time, he sighed. It was a waste of talent for someone like Jiang Yu to be his disciple. Only then did Yao ¡®er believe that Jiang Yu¡¯s strength was extraordinary. Just as she was about to go up and ask for guidance, she realized that Jiang Yu had already disappeared. It had only been a blink of an eye. How could he have disappeared? This time, Yao ¡®er was even more certain that Jiang Yu was very strong. Seeing the girl¡¯s disappointment, Master Lu did not try to persuade her. He thought that this was an opportunity for her to grow. In the future, Yao ¡®er would probably cultivate even harder. Meanwhile, Jiang Yu kept cultivating on the way, and his movement technique improved significantly. At this moment, the system issued a new mission. [New Mission: Body Tempering. If you succeed in the mission, you will receive cold medicine. If you fail, you will receive a high-grade Body Tempering Pill.] Even though he knew that his system was different from the rest, Jiang Yu still couldn¡¯t help but sigh at how brainless the system was. ¡°The reward for completing the mission is cold medicine. Are you serious?¡± He should at least be rewarded with something valuable. He didn¡¯t have the urge to complete the mission at all. [This is an automatically generated mission. It has nothing to do with me.] The System explained, [And I am programmed to give you generous rewards the more you mess up. It¡¯s to prevent you from not improving even if you mess up.] Jiang Yu suddenly understood why the previous owners of this system were so strong. Even if the host wanted to ruin the game, they would still be forced to become a strong player. ¡°Then I might as well ruin it.¡± Jiang Yu said teasingly. At the same time, he took out cold medicine from his spirit pouch and prepared to cultivate. He couldn¡¯t ruin it, he still had to save people.

Chapter 33 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation As for how to cultivate through the cold¡­ Jiang Yu pondered for a moment and began to take off his clothes. He could not feel the cold while he wore so many layers of clothing, so naturally, he could not cultivate well. However, as soon as he took off his coat, Jiang Yu felt a bone-piercing cold. He immediately wanted to put his coat back on. This was too cold. If he cultivated like this, he would be frozen into a popsicle first! [Host, don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t let you freeze into a popsicle. I will save you before you freeze into one.] Yo ho, this system actually knows how to save people? Jiang Yu felt that it was incredible that it felt almost like an imposter. ¡°Why weren¡¯t you kind before?¡±Jiang Yu deliberately asked back, obviously not believing its words. If it could save him, it would be good enough if she didn¡¯t harm him in the first place! [The previous missions didn¡¯t involve life-threatening situations, so of course I didn¡¯t need to save you.] The System said matter-of-factly, [You didn¡¯t need to cultivate in such a dangerous environment before, but it¡¯s different this time. The cold will freeze you to death.] ¡®Then why did it issue such a mission!¡¯ Jiang Yu muttered in his heart, but he also expressed his understanding. He had read about cultivation in cultivation novels before. There were cases of cultivation in cold and freezing weather. This was indeed a way to increase one¡¯s cultivation. ¡°I hope you mean what you say.¡± Jiang Yu took off his last shirt and started cultivating. The cold wind was bone-piercing. Jiang Yu instantly felt that his body was already numb, but he gritted his teeth and persevered. As time passed, he felt the temperature of his body drop. His skin was even hurting from the cold, and purple veins had already appeared on his arms. If he did not break through soon, he would really be frozen into an ice human. However, the final result of his mission was a failure. The system hurriedly urged, [Hurry up and eat the Body Tempering Pill. Otherwise, your life will be in danger!] ¡®If my life is in danger, don¡¯t you know how to save people?!¡¯ Jiang Yu shouted in his heart, but he still took out the Body Tempering Pill from his spirit pouch before his body froze and swallowed it. The moment the pill entered his stomach, he felt a wave of high heat in his gut that quickly spread to his entire body. Even his fingers became very hot. Jiang Yu almost couldn¡¯t withstand the alternating cold and heat. [Hey, hey, hey! Host, don¡¯t faint! If you want to sleep, you have to get into the RV before then. Otherwise, no one would know if you are frozen into ice in the snow!] The system kept muttering in his mind, and Jiang Yu only had one thought. Didn¡¯t it say that it would save him? Why did he have to return to the RV by himself now?! ¡°Do you still remember what you said?¡±Jiang Yu said through chattering teeth, ¡°You say you¡¯ll help me!¡± His hands and feet were frozen stiff, and Jiang Yu felt that he couldn¡¯t exert any strength at all. However, if he didn¡¯t exert any strength, he might freeze to death here. Absolutely not! He still had his father to save. Although he did not want to inherit the family business, it was his father¡¯s life¡¯s work. Even if he did not want to inherit it, he had to protect it well! Jiang Yu didn¡¯t know where he got the strength from, but he slowly climbed into the RV. At the same time, the heat in his body spread to every part of his body, covering up all the coldness. Jiang Yu couldn¡¯t withstand the extreme impact of ice and fire and fell asleep. However, the system heaved a sigh of relief. ¡®Life is saved by the man himself,¡¯ Jiang cursed in his heart before slowly succumbing to the darkness. Even the system¡¯s words could not be trusted completely! ¡­ Jiang Yu woke up with a ringing phone. When he heard the familiar ringtone, the first thing that went through his mind was, ¡®Isn¡¯t there no signal in the mountains? How could I still receive a call?¡¯ Before he could regain consciousness, his hand moved first to take the call. When he heard a familiar voice, Jiang Yu finally woke up. Why was his father calling? ¡°Son, where are you now? I went to the villa to look for you, but the butler said you went out.¡± What was that? He actually came to the villa! Jiang Yu was anxious and angry, not knowing what to say for a moment. ¡°Dad, recently¡­ You shouldn¡¯t have walked around so carelessly. You¡¯re not in good health. I¡¯m scared something will happen to you.¡± His father probably did not want him to know that he had been attacked. Jiang Yu didn¡¯t tell him what the butler had told him. He only told him to be careful. Father Jiang was very gratified when he heard this. His son knew how to care about him, so he didn¡¯t think about anything else. ¡°I¡¯m fine. But where are you now? Not in the mountains I presume?¡± If he wasn¡¯t in the villa, did he go to the city, or did he go into the mountains? If he went up the mountain, did his son encounter any animals like bears? Knowing that his father was concerned about him, Jiang Yu didn¡¯t say anything worrying. He just gave his father a vague reply, ¡°I¡¯m on the mountain. Don¡¯t worry. There are no bears. It¡¯s very safe.¡± The butler must have told his father about him going out! Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have asked so precisely. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I can rest assured.¡± Father Jiang said softly. Despite what he said, he did not seem to be at ease. Jiang Yu knew that he was still worried. How could a father not worry about his child? Jiang Yu didn¡¯t say anything else. He only reminded his father to take care of himself before hanging up the phone. No matter how many times he said it, his father would still worry about him. In his father¡¯s eyes, he was always a child who needed to be protected. A year later, when he was strong enough, he would prove to his father that he did not need to be protected all the time! Putting down his phone, Jiang Yu looked at his surroundings. He was in the RV. He recalled what the System had said before he fainted. ¡°Explain to me, what exactly is going on? Didn¡¯t you say that you would save me?¡± Jiang Yu asked threateningly. Why did he crawl back to the RV alone? [I¡¯ve already saved you by reminding you to eat the Body Tempering Pill!] The system hurriedly defended itself, [Besides, I don¡¯t have a physical body, so I definitely can¡¯t move your body.] ¡®What kind of rescue was that? It was a matter of glib talk!¡¯ That was fine. ¡°The Body Tempering Pill is too powerful. Aren¡¯t you afraid I¡¯ll explode and die after eating it?¡± Jiang Yu thought he didn¡¯t have much to consume, so why did he have such a big reaction? [Who told you to eat so much?] The system snorted coldly, [With your current cultivation, the Body Refinement Pill won¡¯t affect your body unless you eat a lot.] He had eaten less than ten pills, what more? ¡°It¡¯s not my fault,¡± Jiang Yu retorted, ¡°There must be something wrong with your method! The way to save me is not just to eat Body Tempering Pills, right?¡± [You can only buy Body Tempering Pills now.] Alright, it had nothing to say. In short, he was still too weak. Jiang Yu stopped bickering with the system and checked his body¡¯s condition. He found that his body was severely affected by the cold. After the power of the Body Refinement Pill faded, his body felt an extreme chill. If this continued, he would catch a cold. Therefore, Jiang Yu consumed another Body Tempering Pill. He didn¡¯t feel anything. He simply took a few more pills and finally felt his body slowly heating up and feeling warm, so he didn¡¯t continue taking them. But this time, Jiang Yu did not show any signs of fainting.

Chapter 34 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation So, did he faint because he ate too many Body Tempering Pills? [I already said that you ate too much. Don¡¯t doubt me.] The system explained confidently, but Jiang Yu expressed his doubts. How credible were its words now? Jiang Yu felt that most of them were not trustworthy. The system was speechless. It didn¡¯t lie to anyone before. Why doesn¡¯t the host trust its words? [Host! Believe me! There was no mistake! I¡¯ve helped you so many times! It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know this!] The system explained anxiously. Jiang Yu recalled his previous experiences and realized that it did help him a lot. However, he had also been tricked by it many times too! ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to reluctantly rely on your words. Again,¡± ¡­ In the next few days, Jiang Yu continued to cultivate in the mountains. Of course, he would also drive the RV forward to see what else was in the mountains. A few days later, Jiang Yu discovered an ice lake deep in the mountains. The scenery here was not bad and was suitable for sightseeing. However, what attracted Jiang Yu wasn¡¯t the scenery, but the spiritual energy. ¡°I can feel that the spiritual energy in this area is very pure. It¡¯s very suitable for cultivation.¡± [Host, take advantage of this opportunity to quickly cultivate! Don¡¯t let other cultivators find out.] The system urged. Jiang Yu was quiet for a while. ¡°Since the spiritual energy here is abundant, it¡¯s only a matter of time before I¡¯m discovered. I can¡¯t absorb all the spiritual energy here on my own.¡± If he absorbed all of nature¡¯s spiritual energy, wouldn¡¯t he explode and die? [I didn¡¯t mean that you should absorb all the spiritual energy here.] The System hurriedly explained, [What I mean is that the spiritual energy here is very pure and rich. If you cultivate now, you will improve very quickly. In the future, when more people cultivate, the spiritual energy will not be so pure. It will not be so easy for you to break through again.] There was no difference between a place where people cultivate and ordinary places in the city. ¡°You don¡¯t have to tell me. I also plan to cultivate here.¡± Jiang Yu parked the RV and continued cultivating in the snow. At this time, Jiang Yu was no longer as afraid of the cold as before. He could even stand bare-chested against the chilly wind. Jiang Yu wondered if he would be able to wear short-sleeved shirts when he went out in winter in the future. It would become a unique sight on the street. Just as he was fantasizing about the 100% head-turning rate, Jiang Yu suddenly received a new mission from the system. [New Mission: Cultivate Movement Technique. The punishment for mission failure is a spiritual pet.] How could he have forgotten that his movement technique had not been completed yet?! How did the system still remember? [I remember clearly which missions you completed and which you didn¡¯t. Don¡¯t even think about avoiding any of them!] The system said smugly, its tone making Jiang Yu want to hit someone. However, this mission¡­ Jiang Yu propped up his chin with both hands and said thoughtfully, ¡± don¡¯t want to complete this mission. I want to fail it.¡± This time, he wanted to fail. [What do you mean? Hurry up and get up to cultivate!] The system urged him, but Jiang Yu gave a very appropriate excuse. ¡°The punishment is a spiritual pet. It just so happens that I also want to raise a pet. As long as the mission fails, won¡¯t my wish be fulfilled?¡± He had always wanted a pet. In that case¡­ [Then suit yourself!] The system chose to turn a blind eye. [But let me remind you, there isn¡¯t much space left in the spirit pouch. You have too many things inside, and it won¡¯t be able to fit anymore.] Among them, not only did it include the messy things that Jiang Yu had packed, but it also included the pills that the system had given him because he had failed the mission. He hadn¡¯t even taken them yet. Since the spirit pouch was about to be full, Jiang Yu only had two choices. One was to increase the space of the spirit pouch, and the other was to get rid of the things in it. Apart from some necessities and valuables, Jiang Yu discovered that the rest were all medicinal pills. He had never discovered that his spirit pouch actually still contained so many medicinal pills. No wonder the space was about to run out. Since that was the case, what else could he do? Take them! Jiang Yu took out a batch of medicinal pills and started taking them in the RV. The system was still cheering him on. [Host, you can do it! He had to hurry up and finish it before your body could break through!] Perhaps it was because he wanted to break through, but Jiang Yu ate faster and faster. He even ate the Body Tempering Pill as if he didn¡¯t care about his life. His appearance shocked the system. [Hey, hey, hey! Stop for a moment. If you continue eating like this, you might lose your life!] After a few days of unconsciousness, the system was still a little scared. What if the host really died from eating too many pills? It could not let a rare cultivation physique fall just like that! However, Jiang Yu didn¡¯t listen to the system and continued consuming them. In the end, Jiang Yu finished off most of the pills. He even hiccuped for eating too much. [Do you feel uncomfortable in any way? Just like the other day, you will faint if you eat too many Body Tempering Pills. So, how do you feel?] Jiang Yu thought for a moment and shook his head. After a while, Jiang Yu still did not feel any negative effects. It seemed that his physique was better than before. Similarly, the system also found it amazing. The impact had been so great a few days ago, but it had not affected him at all today. But even so, Jiang Yu was still in great pain. ¡°It¡¯s just that these medicinal pills can¡¯t be finished. It¡¯s very uncomfortable.¡± The system was speechless. Did it hear wrong? What nonsense was this kid talking about? [Host, repeat what you said just now.] The system was speechless, [You have to know that these pills are priceless to ordinary people. If others heard what you said just now, they would beat you up.] If he couldn¡¯t finish the food that others couldn¡¯t find, wouldn¡¯t he be attracting hatred? ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if I say it now. There¡¯s no one else in this deep forest. They can¡¯t hear me.¡± Jiang Yu waved his hand nonchalantly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. When they come in front of me, I¡¯ll be careful. I won¡¯t let myself be beaten up. Besides¡­ If we really fight, do you think I¡¯ll lose?¡± The system was silent. It seemed that its current host would not lose. The system should be more worried about whether the host would beat the other party into the hospital and cause a dispute. [Anyway, host, it¡¯s better to avoid trouble.] Jiang Yu naturally understood this. After resting enough, Jiang Yu took out the remaining pills and continued to eat them. The speed at which he ate them made the system worried for him. But in the end, Jiang Yu finished all the medicinal pills and continued to cultivate. Jiang Yu found it very strange. He had eaten so many medicinal pills, but he didn¡¯t break through. It seemed that he had reached the late stage of cultivation, and just eating medicinal pills was no longer enough. [That¡¯s for sure. How can cultivation rely on eating pills alone? Although you failed the mission and will be punished with many pills, I never said that you don¡¯t have to cultivate.] Pills were only supplementary items, and the main thing was that he had to rely on himself to get the medicine. Jiang Yu didn¡¯t need the system to lecture him. He naturally understood these principles. ¡°But you¡¯re punishing people with so many pills. It¡¯s really easy for them to lose their motivation.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 35 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The system expressed that it could not be blamed for this. [This is how I am set. I can¡¯t change it. Moreover, if the host does mess up, these pills can at least make you better. Not every host is as motivated as you.] The system seemed to have recalled some distant memory, and its voice was no longer as cheerful. ¡°In that case, you¡¯re lucky to have me as your host,¡± Jiang Yu¡¯s mood suddenly became much better, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I have to work harder. I can¡¯t let you down.¡± The system looked at its host despairingly. Why did these words sound so narcissistic coming from him? However, it agreed with the second half of its host¡¯s words. [You have to work hard.] [Because you failed this mission.] Although Jiang Yu had planned to fail the mission, the failure came too quickly. He was more or less unwilling to fail like this. But¡­ ¡°Alright, hurry up and give me the spirit pet.¡± It was not a loss to get a pet. After a while, an egg appeared in front of him. This made Jiang Yu quiet again. So¡­ Does that mean he had to hatch the spirit pet himself? Did the system think he was a hen? [Spiritual pets are hatched from eggs. As for how they hatch, it depends on you.] Jiang Yu was speechless for a while. Finally, he took the pet egg and played with it in his hand. He wondered what would happen if he broke the egg now. Would it be the same as a regular egg? The system was speechless by its host¡¯s train of thought. What was its host thinking all day? How could a pet egg be the same as a regular egg? ¡°How should I hatch it? Don¡¯t make me imitate a hen,¡± Jiang Yu asked. [Definitely not.] The system quickly refuted before explaining, [This pet egg belongs to you. When it hatches, its strength will depend on your cultivation level. The higher your cultivation level, the stronger the spiritual energy it feels, and the faster it hatches.] Was that so? Seeing that the egg in front of him didn¡¯t have any reaction, Jiang Yu put away the pet egg and decided to leave the mountain temporarily. He had enough of staying in the mountains these few days. It was time to go to other places. More importantly, his RV ran out of gas. The system was the one sighing, ¡®Finally, the host is moving somewhere else.¡¯ Jiang Yu drove the RV out of the mountains. Fortunately, when they arrived at the gas station, the RV still had some gas. Jiang Yu didn¡¯t have to walk to the gas station. However, to everyone else, it appeared as if a car just appeared out of thin air. After filling up the RV with oil, Jiang Yu didn¡¯t return to the villa immediately. Instead, he stayed at a nearby hotel. He immediately booked the hotel¡¯s luxury suite. Jiang Yu would think about how to hatch the pet egg later. However, when he went upstairs, he saw Wang Xinyuan with his arms around a girl going up the elevator. ¡°Come, follow me back to my room. I will love you well.¡± The meaning behind his words was clear as day. Perhaps it was because Wang Xinyuan was so immersed in his beauty that he didn¡¯t notice Jiang Yu, who used the same elevator with him. Otherwise, he would definitely mock Jiang Yu. [Tsk tsk, didn¡¯t this kid say that he liked that other girl? Why is he still fooling around with other women? Are all men this unreliable? Is this how you show your interest in someone you like?] The system could not help but mutter. ¡®He¡¯s just a scumbag. Don¡¯t worry too much.¡¯ How could such a person know what true love was? Jiang Yu guessed that Lin Xiaoyuan probably rejected him, so he randomly asked out girls to relieve his loneliness. He had no interest in such things. After returning to his room, Jiang Yu placed the pet egg on the table and went into the bathroom to take a shower. He hadn¡¯t had a good bath in the mountains these days. However, after he left the bathroom, Jiang Yu discovered that there was already a crack on the shell. What was going on? Why did it hatched so quickly? ¡°Explain it to me,¡± Jiang Yu tells the system. [This is very normal. Your spiritual power is enough, and the opportunity has arrived. Naturally, it will hatch. It¡¯s not difficult to hatch a pet egg.] Therefore, Jiang Yu sat in front of the table and stared at the pet egg, watching as its eggshell cracked bit by bit. Finally, a small parrot appeared. ¡°A parrot? You didn¡¯t give me an ordinary parrot egg, did you?¡± Jiang Yu asked curiously. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental to hatch a parrot without any spiritual energy fluctuations?! [How could I give you an ordinary egg?! Don¡¯t talk nonsense!] Then the system quickly explained, [Moreover, spiritual pets are all random. I can¡¯t decide which pet to give you. Since your egg hatched into a parrot, it can only mean that there is a lot of fate between the two of you.] Alright then¡­ Actually, Jiang Yu only wanted a pet. He didn¡¯t care what the pet was. Jiang Yu didn¡¯t touch the recently hatched parrot. He just watched quietly from the side and occasionally poked its little head with his finger. [Don¡¯t look at it just because it¡¯s just born. It has top-notch talent and needs you to use various medicinal pills to catalyze it.] This wasn¡¯t a difficult thing for Jiang Yu. After all, he already had a lot of medicinal pills. Since he had failed the mission, the system had given him some extra money. Now, he could use it all to feed the parrot. What Jiang Yu didn¡¯t expect was that this action triggered a new mission. [New Mission: Raise pet level to level 2. Failure will result in the pet¡¯s talent being activated.] Jiang Yu was speechless again. Why is raising a pet part of the mission? Moreover, the punishment mechanism was still the same as when he was cultivating! The system coughed. [*Cough* *Cough* This is a spiritual pet. You can¡¯t keep it like an ordinary pet. You have to help it cultivate and raise its spiritual level.] Jiang Yu took a deep breath, only feeling that the burden on his body was a little heavier. ¡°What¡¯s a Talent Activation Pill?¡± Was it not enough to just feed him other pills? He had to feed it special Pet Talent Activation Pills? In response, the system explained, [Pet eggs are of the highest quality. After hatching, the pet has very high potential, but there are different directions in the growth process. This pill can choose the strongest direction for the pet to strengthen.] That sounded¡­ surprisingly pretty good? Jiang Yu tried to feed the remaining pills to the parrot. However, because it was just born, it ate very slowly, which immediately made Jiang Yu give up. In any case, if he failed, he would be given a Pet Talent Activation Pill. Why was he painstakingly feeding it? Perhaps, he would fail the mission before he even ate a few pills. Therefore, Jiang Yu decided to bring his pet downstairs to try his luck. However, as soon as he went downstairs, Jiang Yu saw the cultivator who had been with Chairman Wang. He immediately became vigilant. Why was he here? At the same time, Old Man Yang suddenly sensed a familiar aura. He hurriedly looked around and observed for a while, but he didn¡¯t find anything unusual. Naturally, he didn¡¯t find Jiang Yu either. ¡®Could it be¡­ Or was he being paranoid?¡¯ At this moment, Jiang Yu was hiding behind the stairs, deep in thought. According to the old Daoist Priest, most of the current cultivators were attached to large factions. However, the place he was in was only a small city and not a good place for business development. Why would cultivators appear here? If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 36 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation As for Chairman Wang, other than having some status in the small city, he doesn¡¯t have any power. Nowadays, there are very few cultivators in the world. How could people like them find a Boss in a small city? It was unreasonable. So, what was his motive? [Host, what are you going to do?] Sensing Jiang Yu¡¯s thoughts, the system hurriedly asked, [Although this cultivator is not as strong as you, please be careful before you take action.] ¡°I know.¡± Jiang Yu already had a plan. He opened the system store and exchanged for many pills that could hide his aura. Then, he took them and followed after Old Master Yang and the others as they left. This pill did not last long, and it wasn¡¯t cheap either. Every time Jiang Yu felt that the effect of the drug was about to wear off, he would take a new one. Along the way, even the system did not know how many pills he had consumed. In short, the system could describe Jiang Yu¡¯s behavior in one word: squanderer! [Host, you could have rushed over and fought him directly. Why did you have to be so sneaky?] The system could not stand it anymore. The host that it had personally nurtured was hiding from someone inferior to him. ¡°Don¡¯t you know? This is called casting a long line to catch a big fish,¡± Jiang Yu whispered, ¡°There must be someone else behind him.¡± There was no point in dealing with him alone. There was a bigger conspiracy behind this whole thing. The system nodded in a half-understanding manner and didn¡¯t interfere anymore. However, when it saw Jiang Yu buying pills like someone who never held money before, it couldn¡¯t help but complain. Jiang Yu ignored the system and continued to follow the target. After following them for a while, Jiang Yu discovered that Old Man Yang was meeting several cultivators separately and had even gathered them together. He didn¡¯t know what the old man was planning. [A bunch of ants.] The system said disdainfully, [These people¡¯s cultivation levels aren¡¯t that high. Host, it won¡¯t be a problem for you to finish them all off now.] Of course, Jiang Yu would never do such a thing. If he did that, how would he be any different from this group of cultivators? ¡°I won¡¯t do anything illegal.¡± Jiang Yu replied indifferently, which shocked the system. [Host, they didn¡¯t consider whether what they did was illegal or not. Why are you thinking so much?] In the system¡¯s mind, there was only the concept of giving someone a taste of their own medicine. The so-called concept of the legal system did not exist. Jiang Yu didn¡¯t want to explain too much to it. ¡°To cut the explanation short, this is basically the order of modern society. It¡¯s understandable that you don¡¯t understand such concepts. In short, I can¡¯t kill people casually.¡± Thus, the system no longer interfered. Jiang Yu hid behind the wall and listened to the conversation between Elder Yang and the other cultivators. ¡°There aren¡¯t many cultivators in the world right now. We have to work together, or we¡¯ll be easily defeated.¡± Old Master Yang said solemnly, ¡°We must wait for the recovery of spiritual energy¡­¡± Jiang Yu couldn¡¯t hear the specific content of their conversation clearly, but he could see the other cultivators nodding their heads in the end. They probably agree to join the old man. Damn it, what were they trying to do?! ¡°A year later, the spiritual energy will recover, but now, the spiritual energy is also increasing bit by bit. I¡¯m guessing that he wants to gather all the cultivators together. As for his purpose, it¡¯s not easy to guess.¡± There were so few cultivators in the world now. How could he gather all the cultivators just for Chairman Wang? They must have other motives. After pondering for a while, Jiang Yu continued following them and observing the situation. No matter what, the other party definitely had no good intentions. Just based on the fact that he had hurt his father for no sense of morality, Jiang Yu decided that he would ruin their plan no matter what! Along the way, Jiang Yu kept taking the pills to conceal his aura. The cultivator felt that something was wrong all along, but he couldn¡¯t pinpoint what was bothering him. He quickened his pace, and his heart became more and more flustered. When they arrived in the suburbs, there was no one else around. Even though Jiang Yu had taken a pill and concealed his aura, Old Master Yang could still detect his presence. Old Master Yang turned around and saw Jiang Yu hiding behind a tree. He was shocked, ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± He remembered this boy. When he was at the villa last time, he felt that there was something wrong with this person, but he could not detect anything unusual. Now, this person actually dared to follow him! ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s me.¡± Seeing that the other party had recognized him, Jiang Yu no longer hid his strength and completely exposed it. Old Master Yang didn¡¯t know what level Jiang Yu¡¯s cultivation had reached, but he could clearly sense that this person was a cultivator. ¡°You lied to me last time!¡± Old Master Yang clenched his fists and took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. ¡°Is it strange that I lied to you? I don¡¯t know you, so, of course, I have to be on guard.¡± Then Jiang Yu clenched his fists and threatened, ¡°Speak! What is your motive?¡± Old Master Yang shook his head and pretended to look confused. ¡°I don¡¯t understand what you mean.¡± ¡°How long are you going to pretend?¡± Jiang Yu sneered and immediately attacked. There was no need for him to show mercy to such people. Since he already knew that they had a plan, there was no need for him to hide his powers anymore. Old Master Yang didn¡¯t expect Jiang Yu to make a move and defended himself out of reflex. However, the moment he received the attack, Old Master Yang felt the strong spiritual power in Jiang Yu¡¯s body, which was stronger than anyone he had met. ¡°How is it? Are you going to tell me or not?¡± The two sides had only exchanged a few blows before Old Man Yang was defeated. This was¡­ This boy had such strength! Old Master Yang widened his eyes in disbelief. How could a man not even twenty years old be stronger than him, who had cultivated for half his life? ¡°Tell me, what exactly are you planning?¡± Jiang Yu almost couldn¡¯t suppress the anger within him. ¡°Why do you attack innocent people?!¡± He didn¡¯t say that it was his father, in case he couldn¡¯t get information out of him. Old Master Yang noticed the difference in strength between them. He thought for a moment, before he finally said, ¡°I¡¯m just completing my mission.¡± ¡°Chairman Wang provided me with resources. In return, I help him deal with his enemies. That¡¯s all.¡± Therefore, as Chairman Wang¡¯s enemy, Elder Yang injured his father. Jiang Yu could sense that he wasn¡¯t lying about this. However, there must be more to that plan. ¡°What else?¡± Jiang Yu interrogated, looking as if they were going to fight again. [Host, eat a Spirit Recovery Pill first. The spiritual energy in your body is insufficient.] The system¡¯s sudden reminder annoys Jiang Yu. He felt that it was too noisy. He impatiently took out a Spirit Restoring Pill and consumed it. Seeing this, Old Master Yang was shocked. For a moment, he thought that he had seen wrong. That pill was clearly¡­ Where did this kid get it from? He had searched everywhere for those pills but could not find them. ¡°I¡¯m asking you a question. What do you want?¡± Jiang Yu¡¯s entire body was emitting a gloomy aura. In addition, his strength was very strong to begin with. Old Master Yang actually felt a little scared. He was afraid of a young man at his age. Ridiculous! ¡°I¡­ That¡¯s all I have to do with Chairman Wang. I don¡¯t know what else you want to know. I don¡¯t know anything else.¡± It looked like he wouldn¡¯t say anything unless he use some tricks. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 37 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Jiang Yu thought to himself, Old Master Yang is already so old. What hasn¡¯t he seen before? Ordinary things would not lure him. No matter what, he had to take something valuable. Old Master Yang was working under Chairman Wang, so he definitely didn¡¯t lack money. He couldn¡¯t buy any valuables. Jiang Yu slowly lowered his head after thinking about it. He looked at his palm in a daze for a while and suddenly had an idea. Didn¡¯t he have a lot of pills in the system store? Any one of them would be enough to shock him. Then if he gave him more, perhaps he could¡ª [Host, please, the pill is not for you to use like this.] The system suddenly interrupted his thoughts, [Isn¡¯t it a waste to give away such a precious pill?] Moreover, the host was planning to give them to his opponent. Wasn¡¯t this just adding to his troubles? ¡®Don¡¯t make it sound so bad, okay? This is called making the best use of everything. If a medicinal pill only has healing value, isn¡¯t it too narrow-minded to think it can only be used as a cure? You should see the bigger picture.¡¯ The System was speechless. What the host said didn¡¯t sound wrong¡­. Other than healing, pills should have other uses. If he could subdue this cultivator, he would have much less trouble in the future. After all, the spirit qi hadn¡¯t completely recovered yet. Jiang Yu took advantage of this time to slowly clean up his opponents. So what if he lost some medicinal pills? Jiang Yu immediately took out a low-grade Spirit Recovery Pill. Old Master Yang was a little surprised when he saw this. Of course, he was also a little tempted. Although the low-grade Spirit Restoring Pill was not of much help to him now, he might need it to save his life one day. ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll give you some Spirit Recovery Pills. You leave Chairman Wang and work for me instead.¡± ¡®There¡¯s no market for this Spiritual Recovery Pill. No matter how much money you spend, you can¡¯t buy it anywhere else. Then, there¡¯s no need for Elder Yang to follow Chairman Wang.¡¯ Jiang Yu thought to himself. ¡°Humph! You underestimate me too much! You want to bribe me with a few Spirit Restoring Pills? Do you really think I¡¯m a villain who goes back on my word?¡± Hearing this, Jiang Yu let out a long sigh and took out a box of Spirit Restoring Pills. ¡°If that¡¯s not enough, I can give you more. I still have a mid-grade Spiritual Recovery Pill and a high-grade Spiritual Recovery Pill here¡­¡± He purposely mentioned the names of many pills and their grades, which shocked Elder Yang. This kid had so many cultivating pills? ¡°These pills are very precious. I¡¯m sure you know that. As long as you can leave Chairman Wang¡¯s side, I can give them to you.¡± Seeing Jiang Yu¡¯s pained expression as he revealed his stock, Old Master Yang became a little hesitant. He had never seen so many Spirit Restoring Pills in his life. Although he could earn money by following Chairman Wang, there was no market for pills. It was useless for him to have so much money! In the spirit of the contract, Old Master Yang steeled his heart and refused, ¡°I¡¯ve already said that I¡¯m not a despicable person who goes back on his word. These medicinal pills can¡¯t bribe me. You¡­¡± Then, he saw Jiang Yu take out another box of pills. ¡°What about these? Is it enough?¡± Jiang Yu chuckled, ¡°If not, I¡¯ll add more. The pills are precious, but if you can leave Chairman Wang, it doesn¡¯t matter if I give you more.¡± Old Master Yang was shocked again. How many pills did this kid have? He thought that he only had one box, but he took out another box, and now he took out another box¡­ Seeing that he was still hesitating, Jiang Yu took out more medicinal pills. He did not believe that so many pills could not tempt him. The system watched the whole scene in pain. This kid was really relying on his money to squander. However, he was rich and willful, so the system couldn¡¯t say anything. Old Master Yang looked at so many pills and finally couldn¡¯t hold on any longer. He agreed immediately, ¡°Alright, I promise you!¡± This kid clearly had many medicinal pills in his hands, yet he pretended to be in pain to part from them. However, he had never seen so many pills in his life. Where did this kid get them from? ¡°I¡¯ve invested a lot to get you to my side. If you decide to follow me in the future, you can get more pills. Don¡¯t go back to Chairman Wang.¡± Jiang Yu said, rubbing his fists. His words made Old Man Yang subconsciously ask, ¡°So, you still have pills?¡± It was already very heaven-defying for a person to have this many pills. If this kid still had more¡­ What kind of person was he? ¡°Yeah, I still have quite a lot.¡± Jiang Yu¡¯s straightforwardness scared Old Man Yang out of his wits. ¡®Quite a lot¡¯?¡­ What did that mean? If he had known that this kid had so many good things, he would not have followed Chairman Wang in the first place. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. As long as you need medicinal pills, you won¡¯t be spared.¡± Old Master Yang nodded hurriedly, suddenly convinced by Jiang Yu¡¯s words. Not only was this kid very strong, but he also had so many stocks of these pills. It was an advantage to follow him. After settling Old Man Yang¡¯s matter, Jiang Yu brought Old Man Yang back to the villa. However, what Old Master Yang didn¡¯t expect was that Jiang Yu had more medicinal pills than he had seen. Old Man Yang was shocked when he saw the room filled with Spiritual Pills! He treated the precious pills as treasures, and this young man casually piled them on the ground. How could he?! ¡°This is only a small portion. There are many where that came from in the warehouse.¡± Jiang Yu said casually. He was also a little annoyed. If he had known earlier, he would have asked the butler to clean up this room. It wouldn¡¯t look good if it was piled up here like this. ¡°There¡­ There¡¯s still more?¡± Old Master Yang almost fainted. Where did this youth who wasn¡¯t even twenty years old get so many rare medicinal pills? Thinking about it, Old Master Yang couldn¡¯t help but ask directly, ¡°Where did you get these pills?¡± He had lived for most of his life, but he had never had a way to obtain such a large number of medicinal pills. Could it be because of this kid¡¯s father? ¡°About this matter, please keep it a secret. I can¡¯t say the reason,¡± Jiang Yu said without thinking. With that, Old Master Yang became even more curious. However, since the other party wasn¡¯t willing to tell him, he couldn¡¯t ask too much. He had so many pills in his hands now, anyway. Even if he used them up, he could still ask Jiang Yu for more, right? Right? Seemingly knowing what he was thinking, Jiang Yu said bluntly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯re on my side. As long as you¡¯re asking for a reasonable amount, I will provide them for you.¡± Since Jiang Yu was so generous to rope him into his side, he probably wouldn¡¯t mistreat him in the future. With that, Old Master Yang was temporarily at ease. But soon, another guest came to the villa. It was Yao ¡®er and her Master. Jiang Yu didn¡¯t want to interact with the two of them. He planned to chat for a while before sending them off. However, from the looks of it, the two of them seemed to have something to ask of him. ¡°Mr. Jiang, we¡¯re here today to ask for your help.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Jiang Yu responded, but he didn¡¯t have any intention of helping. If it was just a small matter, it would not matter if he helped. But if it was something else¡­ ¡°There¡¯s something wrong with my disciple¡¯s cultivation. She needs some pills, but we can¡¯t find any other way to get them.¡± Master Lu said thoughtfully, but Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes. How did these two people know that he had medicinal pills in his hands? He didn¡¯t remember telling them. ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± Jiang Yu quickly rejected, ¡°I don¡¯t have any pills with me right now. Please go back.¡± If the matter of him having medicinal pills were to be leaked, he might even cause some trouble. ¡°No way! I clearly saw it!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 38 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The young girl immediately became anxious. One had to know that this pill was very important to her. If she could not get it, wouldn¡¯t her cultivation be¡­ As for the pills, they clearly saw Jiang Yu had them. He probably didn¡¯t want to sell it to them. ¡°Jiang Yu, this pill is really important to my cultivation. I don¡¯t care how much money you want, as long as you can sell it to us.¡± They had looked for too many people, but none of them had any medicinal pills. Now, Jiang Yu was their only life-saving straw. ¡°But I really don¡¯t have it.¡± Jiang Yu replied calmly, ¡°I don¡¯t know where you got the news from. If you misunderstood me because of the pill I took last time, I¡¯ll apologize in advance. The pill I took last time was also the last one I had.¡± Yao ¡®er was speechless. Was that so? Then what should they do? Seeing this, Old Man Yang also started to speak up for Jiang Yu. ¡°That¡¯s right. The medicinal pill from last time is already the last one in his hands. He can¡¯t give it to me even if he wants to.¡± Old Master Yang knew that Jiang Yu had a lot of them in his hands, but it was his freedom to sell them or not. He had no right to interfere. However, he was a little curious. Since Jiang Yu had the pills, why didn¡¯t he sell them? He could obviously make a lot of money with this opportunity. Seeing this, Yao ¡®er could only compromise temporarily. The world was so big, there would always be a place where she could find some. After this matter was over, Yao ¡®Er and Master Lu were not in a hurry to leave. They had another purpose for coming here. [Host, there¡¯s a new mission.] ¡®Speak,¡¯ Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows. The mission was probably related to the two people in front of him. Otherwise, the system could have told him after they left. [You need to compete with Yao ¡®er. If you win, you will get a practice wooden sword. If you lose, you will get an ancient forged ancient sword.] So it was a competition. Right at the same time, Yao ¡®er came in front of him and said arrogantly, ¡°I want to compete with you!¡± It turned out that there was a reason why they didn¡¯t leave. Jiang Yu was still vexed over what excuse he should use to issue a challenge to the young girl, but now, she had saved himself the trouble. However, what made him even more curious was, why did the young girl want to compete with him? He didn¡¯t agree immediately. Instead, he asked, ¡°What¡¯s there to compete with me for? I¡¯m just an ordinary person. If you have the time to compete with me, why don¡¯t you go cultivate instead?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care! Or what? Are you scared to go against me? If you refuse, I¡¯ll take it that you¡¯re a coward!¡± A coward? There was no such thing. If they were to really compare, this young girl was not his match at all. The system also seized the opportunity to explain, [Host, Yao ¡®er¡¯s cultivation is much weaker than yours. You will win this competition!] It was good that he could win, but unfortunately, the reward was not attractive at all. If he won, he would only be given a wooden practice sword. Who would want to win? It just so happened that he did not want to expose his true strength in front of outsiders. Therefore, Jiang Yu shrugged. ¡°You¡¯re right. I really don¡¯t dare to. I admit defeat.¡± The system was speechless. Yao ¡®er was speechless. Master Lu was speechless. The battle hadn¡¯t even started yet. Wasn¡¯t he admitting defeat too quickly?! [Host, you don¡¯t have to do this¡­] The system did not know what to say, but according to the agreement, it gave him the ancient forged sword. Now, its host was really in a bad state. Jiang Yu was very satisfied with his reward. He smiled at Yao ¡®er and said, ¡°Now that the competition is over and you have won, you can leave now.¡± However, Yao ¡®er¡¯s expression became uglier and uglier. This was the first time someone dared to reject her challenge. The other party seemed to have admitted defeat so easily because he did not want to compete with her at all. To put it bluntly, he was looking down on her! ¡°Stop right there!¡± Yao ¡®er rushed forward and attacked Jiang Yu, ¡°How can you be a man if you admit defeat before the competition has even started?! You truly are a coward!¡± Anyone who heard this would be furious. However, the person opposite her was Jiang Yu, so he wouldn¡¯t get angry so easily. Sensing the killing intent behind him, Jiang Yu slightly dodged the attack. ¡°Miss, I¡¯ve already admitted defeat. There¡¯s no need for you to continue pestering me.¡± He couldn¡¯t make a move. If he did, his foundation would be exposed. However, Yao ¡®er was not prepared to give up and continued to attack. As Jiang Yu thought about it, he might as well just enter the manor and leave them outside. But this time, Old Master Yang took the blow for him. ¡°Miss, the Young Master doesn¡¯t want to compete with you, so why are you bothering him?¡± Compared to Old Master Yang, Yao ¡®er¡¯s cultivation was still a little inferior. She was pushed back a few steps. In the end, it was Master Lu who caught her to soften her fall. ¡°I want to compete with him. Why are you interfering?¡± It was normal for a young girl to say such rude things. ¡°Elder Yang, please send the guests off. I¡¯ll go back and rest first. I¡¯m very tired today.¡± Jiang Yu didn¡¯t intend to waste any more time on unimportant people. Old Master Yang nodded and blocked the entrance of the manor. ¡°Stop right there!¡± Yao ¡®er stomped her feet angrily, but this time, Master Lu stopped her. ¡°Since Mr. Jiang doesn¡¯t want to compete, we¡¯ll visit again next time.¡± ¡°Master!¡± Yao ¡®er did not expect him to say this, but in the end, she still left with him, albeit unwillingly. Seeing this, Old Master Yang heaved a sigh of relief and returned to the villa. At this time, Jiang Yu hadn¡¯t gone far. He hurriedly chased after him and asked, ¡°Young Master, you have so many pills. Why don¡¯t you sell some to them? This way, you can also take the opportunity to raise the price¡­¡± Old Master Yang suddenly shut his mouth. How could he forget that the young master¡¯s family was not short of money? Compared to money, these pills were probably more valuable. ¡°Do you think I look like I lack money?¡± Jiang Yu¡¯s expression suddenly turned cold, ¡°There are many people secretly eyeing the pill now. If I sell them, there will be forces coming to find me very soon and I don¡¯t want to be involved.¡± Old Master Yang nodded quickly and suddenly felt even more regretful. Jiang Yu had money and pills. Wasn¡¯t he much better than Chairman Wang? Why didn¡¯t he meet Jiang Yu earlier? Recalling what he had done previously, Old Master Yang only hoped that Jiang Yu wouldn¡¯t be too calculative. Moreover, he had to do more for him. ¡°Young Master, I understand. I will never tell anyone about the pill in the future.¡± He had just arrived, so he had to show his loyalty. Meanwhile, Yao ¡®er was taken away and followed behind Master Lu reluctantly. ¡°Master, why did you stop me? I just want to have a competition with him but look at him, he doesn¡¯t even agree to it! I can¡¯t even test his strength.¡± They wouldn¡¯t be able to understand Jiang Yu like this. However, Master Lu shook his head solemnly. ¡°There¡¯s no need. Remember to be respectful when you see him in the future.¡± This man was not someone they could afford to offend. Although he looked to be in his twenties, his potential was already very obvious. They must not become enemies with this person. When Yao ¡®er heard this, she became even more reluctant, ¡°Master, Why? He has already admitted defeat, so why should I respect him?¡± She didn¡¯t think highly of him. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 39 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Anyway, remember to be respectful to him. Do you hear me?¡± Although Yao ¡®er was reluctant, she had no choice but to agree. However, she was even more curious about Jiang Yu. What kind of person could make her master so afraid? After going back to the villa for a night, Jiang Yu continued to wander around with his RV. He did not bring Elder Yang with him today. He just wanted to wander around the city and see if there was anything worth working on. He stopped the RV and had not walked for long when he noticed that something was wrong. There were footsteps behind him. Even the system alerted him, [Host, be careful. There are people following you. There are quite a number of them.] Was that so? Jiang Yu was still very calm. At least from what he could see, he did not feel any obvious spiritual energy fluctuations. Could they be ordinary people? Then he had to control himself and not be too harsh. [From the looks of it, they¡¯re just a few ordinary people.] The system said disdainfully, [I don¡¯t know where they got the guts to provoke you. Host, you have to teach them a lesson quickly.] Of course. Jiang Yu smiled slightly and continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened. However, he took a detour around the main road and walked to a remote location. It was not easy to attack in a crowded place. Finally, Jiang Yu came to a small alley in the middle of the street and stopped. Seeing that he had nowhere to go, those people appeared one after another and laughed arrogantly. ¡°Hahaha! You brat, you¡¯re courting death. You chose to come to such a remote place.¡± Jiang Yu turned around and realized that he didn¡¯t recognize any of them. ¡°Who are you? Why are you following me?¡± There was no enmity between them, so there was no need to find trouble with him, right? Jiang Yu rubbed his wrist, but he didn¡¯t show any fear on his face. ¡°Do we need you to know that we want to find trouble with you?¡± The other party was extremely arrogant. Looking at Jiang Yu¡¯s tender appearance, they became even more excited. This kid was definitely easy to beat up. ¡°Kid, if you know what¡¯s good for you, then let us beat you up to satisfy our craving. That way, you can suffer less. Otherwise, don¡¯t blame us for crippling you.¡± Jiang Yu stared at them as if they were fools. Where did these people get their confidence from? Did they think that he was so easy to bully? Moreover¡­ ¡°Do you know who I am? How dare you attack me? Besides, even if I¡¯m just an ordinary person, you¡¯ll be punished if you hurt me,¡± Jiang Yu said indifferently. He did not reveal his identity directly. At the moment, it was best not to reveal his identity at all. However, the other party just laughed very loudly. How arrogant! ¡°Punishment? What are you talking about? As for whether we know you are, what do you think? However, I can also let you know who we are and let you die with that knowledge!¡± The leader, the one who had been responding to Jiang Yu¡¯s question, laughed very impudently. Not only did he look down on Jiang Yu, but he also looked down on everyone in the city. ¡°I have a lot of cultivators in my family. I can easily kill many people. Who do you think you are?¡± As if thinking that Jiang Yu didn¡¯t know anything, the man explained, ¡°You know what a cultivator means, right? However, looking at your ignorant appearance, you probably didn¡¯t know a thing. Let me explain it to you¡­¡± Jiang Yu didn¡¯t feel very angry, but he felt his fist harden. These people deserved a beating. How many cultivators in a family dared to be so arrogant? [Host, I support you. Hurry up.] The system seemed to be unable to hold it in any longer and urged, [You¡¯re my host. How can you be looked down upon by these people? Hurry up and do it! Let them know how powerful you are!] Jiang Yu would naturally make a move, but not now. He still wanted to see this group of people act arrogantly like clowns. ¡°But there are more cultivators in this world than just your family, right?¡± ¡°You all are so arrogant,¡± Jiang Yu said leisurely.¡±If you offend a more powerful cultivator one day, won¡¯t you cause trouble for your family?¡± However, the other party seemed to have heard a joke and laughed heartily. Jiang Yu wondered if his words were that funny. In the end, he concluded that this group of people was too stupid. ¡°More powerful cultivators? Are you talking about yourself?¡± That person had a look of disdain on his face, ¡°Don¡¯t joke. There are very few cultivators in the world. It¡¯s absolutely impossible for someone as tender as you to be one.¡± Alright, there was no need to continue. These people were not afraid of causing trouble at all. Today, he would teach them a lesson. Jiang Yu rubbed his fists and prepared to make a move. The other party rushed over at the same time without any order. Jiang Yu sneered. These people could not hurt him at all. However, before he could make a move, two people suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked the attack for him. A few of them were forced back by a wave of swords. They looked up and realized that the person fighting with them was actually a little girl. ¡°You¡¯re bullying him in broad daylight. You are going too far!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Yao ¡®er launched another attack. Initially, Jiang Yu was still puzzled. However, after he saw Yao ¡®er¡¯s swordsmanship and her clear moves, he narrowed his eyes. This young lady was not as simple as she looked. [Host, this person has some ability. Even if we can¡¯t be friends in the future, we shouldn¡¯t be enemies.] The system said, [Last time, they asked you for pills. Why don¡¯t you¡­] Jiang Yu didn¡¯t say anything and just continued to watch her. The girl¡¯s swordsmanship was very straightforward. In just a few moves, the group of men on the opposite side had no strength to fight back. ¡°Do we continue fighting?¡± Yao ¡®er pointed the tip of her sword at a man¡¯s neck, ¡°I don¡¯t mind fighting a few more rounds with you. Of course, if you want to die, it¡¯s not a difficult task to accomplish.¡± Who would¡¯ve thought someone would help Jiang Yu? He didn¡¯t expect this woman to have a sword with her. How could they defeat her with their bare hands? ¡°You¡­ Just you wait!¡± Those people did not have the intention of giving up, but they turned around and ran away. Jiang Yu reckoned that they would return to find trouble with him again. However, he was not worried at all. These small fries were very easy to deal with. He was afraid that the cultivators from their family would follow them. In that case, he would not be able to hide his strength. After the girl stopped, she didn¡¯t speak to Jiang Yu. Master Lu left with Yao ¡®Er. [Host, what¡¯s going on with them? Do people do good deeds without boasting their names?] The system was puzzled. Logically speaking, the two of them had wanted to ask Jiang Yu for medicinal pills the last time, so they couldn¡¯t do things without asking for anything this time. Jiang Yu already guessed this. Meanwhile, those people ran back to their families dejectedly and cried at the family head. ¡°Patriarch! You have to stand up for us! Someone bullied us. Look at how badly we¡¯ve been beaten up. They were too arrogant!¡± The family head was already having a headache because of some things. When he heard this, he was instantly furious.

Chapter 40 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Who are they? How dare they touch my family!¡± The head of the family was famous for protecting his family¡¯s shortcomings. These ¡°kids¡± had also known and seen this fact, so they exaggerate and make use of them. ¡°It¡¯s Jiang Yu from the Jiang Group! For some reason, he lured us into an alley today and gave us a good beating.¡± That person cried so hard. Actually, the entire family knew what kind of reputation this person had outside their family. However, the family head was protective of him, so they had nothing to refute him. Without a word, the family head immediately sent someone to cause trouble for Jiang Yu. Of course, they couldn¡¯t openly go to the Jiang family to cause trouble. Although there were some problems within the Jiang family, in other people¡¯s eyes, they were still very stable. One had to know that the head of the Jiang family was also famous for protecting his own people. They did not need to go head-on with them. All they wanted to do now was to quietly beat up Jiang Yu. Therefore, they looked him up and found that Jiang Yu was not living at home but in a villa on the outskirts of the mountain. Those people thought that since he was in a villa and a quiet environment no less, it should be very easy to make a move. The people sent by the family head were all cultivators. It was easy for them to deal with ordinary people. However, when they arrived at the villa, they were shocked by the spiritual energy there. As cultivators, they were very sensitive to the spiritual aura. They could sense the spiritual aura of a place very keenly. The amount of spiritual energy in this villa was unprecedentedly pure. ¡°This¡­ How can there be such pure spiritual energy here? There¡¯s quite a lot of it. I¡¯ve been to this villa before, but it wasn¡¯t this good before!¡± ¡°If I had known that the spiritual energy here was so rich, I would have thought of ways to buy this place.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not right. I¡¯ve been to this place many times in the past. There wasn¡¯t such rich spiritual energy. It only became like this recently, right? Is he that powerful?¡± ¡°But¡­ Is Jiang Yu also a cultivator? If that¡¯s true, then his cultivation should be far above our level¡­ How can we fight him like this?¡± ¡­ The group of people discussed one after another. They were very confident, but now it went under the bridge rather quickly. They were cultivators, so they knew what rich spiritual energy meant. A place with rich spiritual energy was either natural or raised by cultivators with high cultivation. It was obvious that the current situation of the villa belonged to the latter. Therefore, Jiang Yu must be an expert. Thinking of this, everyone looked at each other and was instantly afraid. ¡°So, are we still going to fight?¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we go back and explain the situation to the family head first?¡± One of them said shakily. ¡°If Jiang Yu was really an expert, we wouldn¡¯t be able to defeat him.¡± ¡°Go back to what? If we went back before we could fight, we would be fired!¡± ¡°But it¡¯s not good for us to make a move now. The spiritual energy here wasn¡¯t that dense before.¡± ¡°Perhaps it was just a coincidence that someone with high cultivation passed by. In fact, Jiang Yu is probably just a good-for-nothing boy. Let¡¯s wait and see.¡± ¡­ They discussed and finally decided to wait and see. They originally wanted to climb over the wall of the villa and settle scores with Jiang Yu immediately. However, before they could get in, they saw two people coming to the entrance of the villa. The first was a young girl, but the man next to her looked a little old. However, they could sense that both of them had a certain level of cultivation. This made them even more confused. Why did these two people come to find the weak Jiang Yu? Or did Jiang Yu have something on him? ¡°I heard that one of the people who attacked Young Master was a girl. Could it be her?¡± One of them suddenly said, ¡°Her cultivation is not lower than ours. We can defeat her, right?¡± He had thought that it was just a simple mission to teach someone a lesson. He did not expect so many unexpected things to happen. So, what should they do now? No one said anything and continued to watch. Yao ¡®er was a little worried, ¡°Master, will he agree? The last time we helped him, he didn¡¯t even react. Seriously!¡± They just wanted to get a pill. Why was it so complicated? ¡°Let¡¯s try. It¡¯s better than doing nothing.¡± Master Lu was also betting on his luck. He knew that Jiang Yu was a loyal person. Since it had already come to this, he should give them a medicinal pill in return. Even though they had forced him to do so. ¡°Also, Yao ¡®Er, don¡¯t forget what I said before. Medicinal pills are hard to come by, not to mention that he has so many of them in his hands,¡± Master Lu suddenly said. Yao ¡®er was speechless. Although she was very reluctant, she had to admit that she had nothing to say about the pill. After a while, the butler came to open the door. When he saw that it was the two of them, he sighed. ¡°I¡¯ll go and inform the Young Master.¡± The butler knew that this was not the first time these two people had come here. Every time, he would reject them on behalf of the young master. After they had come so many times, the butler could not bear to see them. Jiang Yu wasn¡¯t surprised when he received the news. ¡°Wait a moment, I¡¯ll be there soon.¡± When they arrived at the entrance of the villa, the two of them didn¡¯t directly express their intentions, but Jiang Yu already knew their purpose. ¡°This is a Body Tempering Pill. Here you go.¡± Jiang Yu bought a low-grade Body Tempering Pill from the system store and handed it to Yao ¡®er. This kind of medicinal pill already had no effect on him. However, for the people of this world, low-grade Body-Tempering pills could also be of great help to their cultivation. Seeing this, the system teased, [Host, since you¡¯re so rich, you should at least be more generous. No matter what, you should at least give them a mid-grade. She saved your life, and you¡¯re giving her a low-grade pill. Aren¡¯t you looking down on her?] Jiang Yu resisted the urge to roll his eyes, ¡®Is this a question of whether I¡¯m generous or not?¡¯ If he gave a high-grade medicinal pill, wouldn¡¯t this matter be disadvantageous to himself if it got out? For the current master and disciple, a low-grade body-forging pill was enough for them to digest. Their bodies would not be able to withstand high-grade medicinal pills. ¡°Thank you.¡± With the pill, Yao ¡®er finally smiled. Master Lu also heaved a sigh of relief. Jiang Yu was very helpless. He knew how rare such pills were in this world. He could also foresee what would happen if other people discovered he had stocks of them. However, there was finally one less problem. However, when those people saw this, they were even more shocked. That pill¡­ ¡°How¡­ How could he have such a thing? And he gave it to someone else so easily?¡± ¡°Our family can¡¯t buy those even if they want to,¡± someone said with trembling lips. This kind of medicinal pill was priceless, yet Jiang Yu gave it away so casually! ¡°Don¡¯t be agitated. Be careful not to be discovered.¡± However, none of them could completely calm down. If they knew that the medicinal pill in Jiang Yu¡¯s hand was the ¡°worst¡±, who knew what they would think when they see his other pills?
