“You actually found it?” Su Wei and his Pill Furnace were both surprised. The Kylin blood was hard to come by in the Nine Provinces. Where did he find it?
Once the Kylin blood was found, it was vital to start alchemy immediately. If too much time passed and it became stale, a pure-blooded pill couldn’t be created.
Jiang Li took out a drop of Kylin blood, suspended it in the palm of his hand, wrapped it in Spiritual Power, and handed it to Su Wei.
Su Wei rubbed his hands together excitedly. He had never had the chance to refine a pure-blooded pill using Kylin blood before.
“Stand back, let me do it!” The Red Crow Furnace and Su Wei were eager to do alchemy, but ultimately Jiang Li determined that Su Wei should do it, and the Red Crow Furnace obediently served as a Pill Furnace.
Although the Red Crow Furnace’s alchemy skills could indeed be better than Su Wei’s, it was far too whimsical in its methods. There was no telling what it would come up with. Jiang Li saw that Su Wei’s child disciple was casually treating the “Great Revitalization Pill” as a ball to kick around.
The system, which hardly ever provided valuable information, had actually given him a drop of Kylin blood. Jiang Li didn’t want the Red Crow Furnace to refine it into some strange medicinal pill.
Jiang Li had spoken, and the Red Crow Furnace wouldn’t dare disobey. It dutifully assumed its responsibility as a Pill Furnace.
A pure-blooded White Kylin had a unique ability. It could know anything, as long as that thing happened in the Nine Provinces.
However, this ability had its limits. Before reaching the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, this ability could only be used once. After reaching the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, it could be used three times.
Jiang Li wanted to make the White Marsh Emperor a pure-blooded White Kylin so that it could find the Heavenly Immortal-level Heavenly Demon.
There were, of course, many things that Jiang Li wanted to know, but none of them were as important as the Heavenly Demon. The Heavenly Immortal-level extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon hidden within the Nine Provinces was a thorn in Jiang Li’s side. He could not rest easy until it was dealt with.
Leaving aside the rank of the Heavenly Demon, the matter of the God-hidden Cult alone was enough to plunge the Nine Provinces into the abyss of the demonic path, causing chaos.
And at the Heavenly Immortal rank, the only possible challengers in the entire Nine Provinces were Jiang Li and the doubtful Heavenly Immortal Red Dust Fairy.
The creation of the pure-blooded pill required seven days. Jiang Li patiently waited.
On the sixth day, the system suddenly issued a mission.
[Mission issued: Nightfall. You want to take a bath in the lake, but unexpectedly, a mysterious white-haired woman is also bathing in the lake. The two of you meet and scream. The opponent, whose strength remains unfathomable, wants to teach you a painful lesson. Please dodge the white-haired woman’s lesson.]
[This mission is not recommended to be abandoned]
[No reward]
[You can spend 500 Origin points to get a system hint.]
[You can spend 50,000 Origin points to acquire information about the mysterious white-haired woman.]
“Spend 500 Origin points.”
[System hint: You can show her that you have Kylin blood.]
“…Spend 50,000 Origin points.”
[White Snow Spirit: Current White Marsh Emperor, Body Integration Realm.
Father is the previous White Marsh Emperor, and Mother is a pure-blooded Kylin. Both parents died at the hands of the Heavenly Demon. Expressing your hatred for the Heavenly Demon could increase her goodwill.]
[As she is of mixed Kylin blood, she is not recognized by mystical beasts. The Eight Great Vassal Kings do not obey her orders and have plans to usurp the throne. Disrupting the forces of the Eight Great Vassal Kings can increase her goodwill.]
[She has been poisoned by the Vassal Kings and is grievously injured. Her strength is at less than one percent of its normal level, and the antidote is hard to come by. Offering her an antidote can increase her goodwill (System hint:
you can purchase this from the shop).]
[Making a pure-blooded pill requires Kylin blood. Offering her Kylin blood can
make her very fond of you. Offering her a pure-blooded pill can make her like you.]
Jiang Li felt as though fifty thousand mud horses were rushing through his heart.
Damn it! No wonder the previous system mission recommended completion. It had been waiting for him here!
You’re playing a dating simulation game, aren’t you!
Jiang Li frowned. If he did not know that providing the pure-blooded pill would make the White Marsh Emperor fall for him, he would certainly have given it to her.
However, knowing that she would fall for him if he offered the pure-blooded pill made him uncomfortable.
It made him feel as though the White Marsh Emperor was being manipulated, as if she was just a tool of the system.
Rarely had Jiang Li ever felt a hint of disgust toward the system.
The system was divided into two parts; one was used for normal function, which was very convenient for Jiang Li, saving him a lot of trouble.
The other part was the regular system-mandated missions, which were part of the system’s original timeline. That meant that Jiang Li’s life path had been pre-determined by the system upon his arrival in this new world.
Jiang Li could predict that, on the system’s timeline, he would have been at the Foundation Establishment Stage, unable to afford the 50,000 Origin point cost. However, he could afford the 500 Origin point hint and would have taken out the Kylin blood, winning the White Marsh Emperor’s goodwill, leading to an ambiguous relationship, and perhaps even more.
He could have accepted that because he wouldn’t have been able to see the contents of the 50,000 Origin point purchase, thus he wouldn’t have known that doing so would have increased the White Marsh Emperor’s goodwill.
Jiang Li couldn’t understand the system’s existence, and he could choose not to think about why the system had pre-determined his life. He didn’t care, since he was already at the Mahayana Realm, the strongest in the Nine Provinces. The system couldn’t affect him; he could simply choose not to do the missions.
What he couldn’t stand, however, was that the system also pre-determined others’ lives. Even worse, the system had turned their goodwill into a commodity!
What was the system, exactly? Jiang Li had pondered this question before and reached no conclusion.
Now, as he pondered this question again, he still couldn’t figure it out.
“White Marsh Emperor, I have a question for you.”
Seven days later, Jiang Li sought out the White Marsh Emperor at the White Marsh Dynasty.
White Snow Spirit’s hair was as white as snow, and she wore a short sleeved short skirt, with a tall and elegant figure that could topple empires. She was sitting in a pavilion, meeting Jiang Li. Her hands were overlaid on her white, round thighs. The light penetrated through her white hair, making her entire person seem transparent, as though she were walking out of a painting.
Mystical beasts were unreserved, their clothing vastly different from those of the reserved Human Tribe. They were condemned by the scholars as uncultured, yet many cultivators enjoyed the unreserved aspects of the mystical beasts.
“Please speak, Human Emperor.”
White Snow Spirit was slightly surprised. She had interacted with Jiang Li on multiple occasions, and it was rare for him to appear so serious.
“If I give you a pure-blooded pill, enabling you to become a pure-blooded White Kylin, will you fall for me?” Jiang Li asked directly, without hiding anything.
White Snow Spirit blinked, processing what Jiang Li was saying. Then, her face turned red and she looked slightly angry, “Human Emperor, this is not a funny
joke.”
“I’m not joking.” Jiang Li shook his head earnestly. He opened a small wooden box, and the fragrant scent of the pill filled the air.
It was a pure-blooded pill refined with Kylin blood!
This was a pill that White Snow Spirit had always dreamed of having. However, she didn’t look pleased. Instead, she was angry at Jiang Li’s actions.
“You mean to say that you’ll only give me the pure-blooded pill if I fall for you? You’re overdoing it!”
“You’re misunderstanding.” Jiang Li explained, “I heard from someone that you were poisoned by a Vassal King five hundred years ago and suffered a serious injury. If there was a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator back then who had seen your body and could present a pure-blooded pill, you would have fallen for him. Is that true?”
Seeing that Jiang Li was speaking as though he had witnessed it himself, as though he wasn’t joking, White Snow Spirit put herself in that scenario and thought about it. With a resigned nod, she admitted, “I don’t know who you heard that from, but if it were as you said, I suppose I might have fallen for that young cultivator..”
