Jiang Che was not a man who enjoyed killing.
After all, Lin Yu no longer posed any threat to him; sparing him wouldn't hurt, right?
Truthfully, apart from his penchant for spouting nonsense and his constant refrain of "You have brought death upon yourself," Lin Yu hadn't actually done anything truly evil.
"Lin Yu really is the protagonist of the original novel, isn't he? So explosive! Much better than Su Han."
Jiang Che began to tally up the system rewards.
[Legendary Treasure Chest, Advanced Longevity Elixir, SSS-grade Traditional Chinese Medicine Skill]
The Legendary Treasure Chest didn't need much explanation.
Ordinary Chest, Fine Chest, Excellent Chest, Epic Chest, Legendary Chest, Peerless Chest, Supreme Chest.
Previously, after angering Su Han to death, an Epic Chest had spawned, from which he had received the SSS-grade Master Chef skill. Now, with a Legendary Chest, he was sure to get something even better.
As for the Advanced Longevity Elixir, it was a basic reward.
[Advanced Longevity Elixir: One pill adds thirty years to your life. A bottle contains 20 pills, with no diminishing returns and can be stacked.]
With the Advanced Longevity Elixir, this meant he directly gained an additional 600 years of life. Normally, items like Longevity Elixirs would have limitations; the first time might add 30 years, but subsequent uses would likely reduce the effect.
However, the system's Longevity Elixirs were ridiculously overpowered, allowing for infinite stacking. What was the difference between that and immortality?
Thinking about eternal life, Jiang Che couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. A life without money or power would be painful, but what if he could bring eternal lifevision to his entire family?
Next, he turned his gaze to the last reward.
The SSS-grade Traditional Chinese Medicine Skill was clearly Lin Yu's specialty, but now... this skill belonged to Jiang Che.
"Merge Skill!"
For skills, Jiang Che was always happy to accept them; after all, having more tricks up his sleeve never hurt!
Instantly, a wealth of knowledge about Traditional Chinese Medicine flooded Jiang Che's mind, including techniques for massage, acupuncture, concocting medicine, pulse diagnosis... He was now extremely proficient, even surpassing many seasoned TCM practitioners.
"Heh... I've become a little divine doctor now?"
Jiang Che shrugged, and at the same time, he understood why Lin Yu's medical skills were so terrifying, even capable of curing end-stage kidney failure!
Because the skills of a destined protagonist were simply overpowered; acupuncture enhanced with internal energy could basically cure any illness.
And with his new reward, Jiang Che naturally felt a bit itchy to try it out.
So... he turned his gaze to Yu Wan'er, who was sitting on the sofa munching on chips and watching TV, her two bare little feet swaying leisurely, looking very carefree.
On either side of Yu Wan'er sat Ye Mengyao and Bai Qiangwei.
"Come, come, let this old TCM practitioner take your pulse."
I'm an old TCM practitioner, here to cure the miserable!
Jiang Che curled his lips into a smile!
"Pervert! Haven't you had enough?"
Yu Wan'er threw the bag of chips in her hand directly at Jiang Che, but how could it hit him, given his advanced martial skill level?
"You... didn't you say you were going to take my pulse? Why are you touching my foot?"
Yu Wan'er kicked her little legs.
"You didn't know, did you? There are pulses on the feet too..."
Yu Wan'er: "......"
Ye Mengyao and Bai Qiangwei giggled, and the room was filled with laughter... and the adorable, childish scolding.
Jiang Che did indeed examine Yu Wan'er. She was short due to a congenital factor, and Jiang Che had initially thought it was due to malnutrition, but now it seemed Yu Weiwei had taken good care of this little loli.
This was just as well. If Yu Wan'er were any taller, she wouldn't have that certain charm.
At that moment, the door of the Jiang family mansion opened!
Gu Lingfei returned from work.
The woman glanced around the room, then turned her head away.
She had already become immune to this kind of scene.
"Sis Feifei, I got something good for you!"
Jiang Chuextracted a big treasure from his pocket!
Elixir of Eternal Youth!
Although Gu Lingfei wasn't yet his woman, it wouldn't be long before he won over this domineering older sister. Actually, Jiang Che wanted Gu Lingfei to take the initiative herself.
"Oh, Chu Chu, I don't need your things. Your Sis Feifei has seen it all!"
Jiang Churlipped, "Oh? Really? Have you seen something that can preserve eternal youth?"
Jiang Che's wordsleft Gu Lingfeicrepling, equally stunned was Chen Ningshuang, who was wiping the floor.
Yu Wan'er, Ye Mengyao, and the others weren't particularly shocked, as Jiang Che had already given them the elixir.
"Chu Chu, are you reading too many novels? What kind of thing can make one's youth eternal?"
Gu Lingfeiobviously... didn'tonsider believing!
But Jiang Che did not explain, merely taking out the Elixir of Eternal Youth.
He then presented it to Gu Lingfei, "Sis Feifei, you're so beautiful now. Your beauty should forever be preserved at this moment."
He even stretched out his hand, playfully brushing a strand of Gu Lingfei's hair.
Gu Lingfeireced two steps, her face instantly flushing red.
This haughty, icy CEO, in front of Jiang Che, seemed like a naive little girl.
And Jiang Che, seizing the opportunity, forcefully opened Gu Lingfei'smouth, feeding her the Elixir of Eternal Youth.
"How is it? Any sensations?"
The effect of the Elixir of Eternal Youth was immediately apparent; not only did it preserve eternal youth but also had beautifying effects.
"This... this..."
Gu Lingfei touched her face in disbelief. The feeling was strange; without explicitly saying it, she could clearly sense that her appearance had stopped aging!
Could it really preserve eternal youth?
Thinking of this possibility, Gu Lingfei couldn't contain the joy in her heart.
She was 27 years old, in the prime of a woman's life, the most beautiful moment, like a ripe fruit on a tree waiting to be picked.
The love of beauty is a woman's nature, even the cool CEO Gu Lingfei was no exception.
"That's right, Sis Feifei, this is a treasure I got at great cost. It can preserve your looks at this moment forever. You can feel it, can't you?"
Jiang Che'swords completely flustered Gu Lingfei.
"But... what about them? Wan'er and Mengyao..."
"They've already used it. My women... I naturally ensure their eternal youth."
Jiang Chepointed at Ye Mengyao, Bai Qiangwei, and the others.
Yu Wan'er, Ye Mengyao, Qin Qiaoqiao, Bai Qiangwei, and Bai Jie had all taken the Elixir of Eternal Youth.
"Y-you... why did you give this to me?" Gu Lingfeifelt her heart in disarray.
She accurately picked up on the key phrase... my woman...
Could it be that Chu Chu had designs on her?
But... but I'm your sister! Although we aren't blood-related...
lanned to earn money steadily and take life at a slower pace. But he never expected... his father's remarriage, and the stepmother bringing along a dependent, would completely disrupt his life's plans...
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
