Chapter 22 - Hoping It Lasts

Chapter 22 Hoping It Lasts

Bai Lian glanced at the system interface.

[Name: Bai Lian

Gender: Female

Age: 18

Spiritual Root: Water-element Heavenly Spiritual Root

Cultivation: Peak Foundation Establishment

Morality: None]

She was starting to feel that the word “morality” was still a little appropriate.

She was originally a great person, but she was reduced as a person with no morality by the system.

[It takes a long time for humans to understand themselves. Host, please continue to work hard and realize your life value.]

Looking at the system notification that suddenly appeared, Bai Lian’s face darkened.

She decided not to argue with this system.

Although the process was filled with danger, her strength had improved a lot.

Basic skills:

(Hard Body Skill: 142

Soft Body Skill: 141

Lightness Skill: 135 (Flowing Cloud Boots+35) Focus: 151]

Every aspect had increased by about 60 points compared to when she first recovered her memories. It could be said to be a comprehensive development of virtue, intelligence, physique, and beauty.

Skill:

[Music Theory 2, Chess 3, Medicine 2, Painting 1, Calligraphy 3, Flowering 2, Tea Path 3, Alchemy 2, Cooking 1, Array 3, Talisman Crafting 1, Artifact Refining 1]

All twelve skills had completed breakthroughs from 0 to 1. Although it wasn’t a shocking achievement, it was enough to make her happy.

There was a new addition to the move column (Butterfly Dance on the Mountain).

The current Bai Lian could already fight those poor early-stage Golden Core cultivators without any Dharma treasures when she used all her methods.

She could fight ten opponents with Jiang Ning’s strength without panting!

“Wonderful!”

Bai Lian felt that if she could survive under the dual persecution of the system and the world, a good future might not be impossible.

She had the Profound Truth Pill. As long as she found a safe place that no one knew about, she could immediately transcend the first lightning disaster of the three calamities of the immortal cultivators and achieve the Golden Core Great Dao.

In addition to the attribute points obtained from the system mission, it was definitely not impossible for her to challenge a Nascent Soul cultivator in a year.

In that case, she wouldn’t have disgraced the reputation of a natural saint.

But…

Survival was a problem!

Putting aside the fact that the system was a little schemer with impure motives, its will was the most terrifying.

After all, without conflict, the game plot wouldn’t be able to unfold, right?

The producer of “Battle of the Gods”, Deep Blue, crazily added a lot of crises to the game.

In the most terrifying storyline, the supreme expert who knocked An Lan down to the mortal world came to find him and sank the entire East God Continent with a slap.

Of course, this was many years later.

If Bai Lian’s cultivation path was not smooth, she would have long exhausted her lifespan. There was no point in worrying about this

now.

She closed the system interface.

“I’ve been hanging around the protagonists every day. Perhaps I’ve also gotten a little bit of the protagonist’s halo.”

Bai Lian nodded silently.

The battle with the system would be a long battle that was difficult to determine. However, she hoped that it would last. If things went well, a thousand years later, she could still rule the world.

She originally wanted to give up and wait for death. Now that she saw a glimmer of hope of becoming stronger, she felt that she could really do it.

“Perhaps I can try to challenge some high-level missions that don’t look especially scary.”

At this moment, Xiao Jinse looked up and said slowly, “After meeting Senior Sister Wenren, Senior Sister Bai seems to be in an especially good mood?”

At the mention of Senior Sister Wenren, Xiao Jinse pursed her lips.

If Senior Sister Bai was happy, she should be happy too.

However…

Xiao Jinse really couldn’t be happy. She only felt that something was wrong.

Just as Bai Lian was about to speak, a new mission option appeared in front of her eyes. There were only two options.

[Mission 1: “Yes, I remembered my happy conversation with Junior Sister Wenren.” (Mission Reward: High-grade Dharma artifact, Joyous Lock)]

(Mission 2: “I remembered something happy.” (Mission Reward: Lightness Skill+2)]

A basin of cold water was splashed on Bai Lian’s surging enthusiasm. Was this the system’s response to her declaration of war?

Bai Lian gritted her teeth.

So what if she had perked up her butt?

It didn’t mean that she was asking for a beating

Damn, she was really inhumane!

She chose option two.

Bai Lian turned around and smiled at Xiao Jinse. “Junior Sister, I remembered something happy.”

Eh?

Xiao Jinse was slightly stunned. “Something happy?”

“Yeah.”

Bai Lian reached out and touched Xiao Jinse’s head.

Xiao Jinse narrowed her eyes. She enjoyed the feeling of the numb electric current flying on the back of her neck.

Bai Lian continued, “Junior Sister, didn’t I say before that your spiritual root level can increase? Just now, I thought of a way.” “Really?”

Xiao Jinse looked at Bai Lian in disbelief.

Then, she waved her hands in panic. “No, Senior Sister Bai, it’s not that I don’t believe you, but this matter…”

Bai Lian touched her second junior sister’s head again. “I know, this is indeed a little shocking, but facts speak louder than words. Let’s do it now!”

“Yes!”

Xiao Jinse nodded hard.

There was a light in her eyes. She felt that the starlight at the corner of Senior Sister Bai’s eyes was shining into her heart.

She was already very satisfied to be able to cultivate. Who would have thought that her aptitude could really increase?

Senior Sister Bai would always be god!

Bai Lian smiled.

Speaking of which, her master, An Lan, had torn apart Xiao Jinse’s grandfather. She had really helped her a lot.

Otherwise, how could it be so easy to gain Second Junior Sister’s trust?

How should she put it? It sounded a little immoral, but it was a good thing that the old man in the bracelet had died!

On the wooden bed at the top of Qiong Ming Peak.

Xiao Jinse was only wearing a tight-fitting single layer of clothes. Her body was curled up, and her cheeks were beautiful.

Bai Lian sat opposite her with a pile of grass in her right hand.

The most conspicuous was the Dragon Leaving Grass.

This was the mission reward Bai Lian had obtained for Xiao Jinse when Yan Yue criticized Xiao Jinse. Now, it could be used to increase Xiao Jinse’s aptitude.

“Junior Sister, I’ll help you cultivate. You just have to do as I say.”

“Yes.”

Xiao Jinse nodded in panic.

Although it was in front of her most respected Senior Sister Bai, she still couldn’t let go.

It was too embarrassing.

“There will be a little burning pain. you just have to endure it.”

Xiao Jinse shook her head. “I’m not afraid of pain.”

Bai Lian smiled at her. “If Master was here, it would be very easy. After all, it’s my first time.”

Xiao Jinse said, “I believe in Senior Sister Bai.”

There was a stubbornness in her eyes.

Bai Lian’s heart warmed. What goes around comes around.

Fortunately, the system wanted her to be a villain, not raise a villain.

“Let’s begin!”

Bai Lian slowly stretched out her hand to Xiao Jinse.

The moon was high in the sky.

Looking at Xiao Jinse, who was sleeping soundly on the wooden bed after being exhausted, Bai Lian revealed a relieved smile. She knew that the system wouldn’t let go of this good opportunity, so she had long prepared pills to meditate with. She successfully survived three missions and obtained culinary skills+1, focus+2, and flower buds+1.

However, there was still a small problem midway.

Bai Lian’s attribute was water, and Xiao Jinse’s attribute was fire.

It was not easy for fire and water to mix.

In the end, Xiao Jinse’s spiritual root still grew into a medium-grade fire-element spiritual root, and even her cultivation level increased to the third level of Qi Refinement.

Bai Lian pushed the door open and left the room.

At this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in her vision.

“Jade Rabbit!”

The little rabbit sat near the courtyard door. When it saw Bai Lian come out, it immediately jumped up happily.

It bowed very humanely and rubbed against Bai Lian’s skirt. Bai Lian happily fed the remaining spiritual herbs to Jade Rabbit.

Compared to those people who were scheming, Jade Rabbit was much simpler. After eating and drinking its fill, Jade Rabbit left reluctantly.

Bai Lian sat down on the huge rock on the top of Qiong Ming Peak. She had just received a message from a jade slip that An Lan was coming back.
