Everyone was utterly stunned.
"Holy shit! This is... just too insane! The precious pills I treasure every day are actually made like this?"
Chu Yuan's jaw dropped. Although his cultivation had long surpassed the Foundation Establishment stage, he still regularly consumed Foundation Establishment Pills because high-level cultivators used them to stabilize their cultivation!
Normally, he treated the low-grade pills supplied by the academy as priceless treasures, but now... the refining process turned out to be this crude and straightforward?
Even Jiang Yunhuang's eyes widened in disbelief.
Though he knew the alchemy furnace was extraordinary, this was his first time witnessing it produce pills firsthand—and the sight was simply... outrageous!
"Boom—"
The moment the furnace opened, countless milky-white pills poured out, each the size of a longan fruit, piling up like a collapsing flood.
Foundation Establishment Pills—each worth billions in cash in the mortal world—were now scattered across the ground, forming a small hill five to six meters high.
Nearly every pill bore intricate alchemical patterns.
"Thud—"
Lin Chong, unable to handle the spectacle, collapsed onto his seat.
[Ding! Host has successfully pulled off an unrivaled flex, earning 5 million flex points.]
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Not only did he crush the Son of Destiny, but he also raked in points!
Pure bliss!
"Why don't you count them? See if there are at least a hundred thousand here?" Jiang Che taunted.
Lin Chong: "..."
Was there even a need to count?
This output definitely surpassed the alchemy furnaces of the Destiny Association. And this batch wasn't just a million—it had to be at least one and a half million pills!
In other words, compared to the Destiny Association's top-tier alchemy furnace, he had used only a quarter of the time but produced fifteen times the yield!
An efficiency sixty times greater!!!
This was truly eye-opening.
Could it really be, as Jiang Che claimed, that his furnace was the genuine article, while the Destiny Association's were all knockoffs?
Instantly, Lin Chong's face burned with humiliation.
"This alchemy furnace was a gift from my master. I suppose the ones in your Destiny Association must be cheap imitations."
Jiang Che waved his hand, storing the furnace back into his system space.
Then, with a flick of spiritual energy, he lifted the millions of Foundation Establishment Pills from the ground and tossed them into the Cultivator Academy.
In an instant, the academy's skies rained pills.
The Sons of Destiny inside were stunned for a moment before erupting into frenzied scrambling.
Even some of the academy's teachers couldn't resist joining in.
Jiang Che gazed down at the scrambling crowd, a trace of transcendence flashing in his eyes.
Even seventh or eighth-level Sons of Destiny were still puppets in his hands.
Just a little incentive, and these so-called chosen ones would become his loyal dogs.
[Darling, isn't this a bit too flashy?]
Mo Lianxing whispered cautiously.
[Darling, if word of this alchemy furnace reaches the Nine Heavens and the myriad races learn you possess such a treasure, even the Jiang family might not be able to protect you.]
"Heh, my dear, have you fallen for me?" Jiang Che smirked.
[Darling!!! I'm being serious here! I know you have many tricks up your sleeve, but you mustn’t underestimate the Nine Heavens—especially the Destiny Association.]
[If you were to rank all the forces in the Nine Heavens, the Destiny Association would undeniably take first place. If they weren’t powerful... do you think the myriad races would let them monopolize a money-making machine like the alchemy furnace?]
Once a heartless little thing, Mo Lianxing had now completely sided with Jiang Che after being thoroughly "enlightened" by his nightly... teachings.
Young Master Jiang might be average in other areas—his cultivation talents all system-gifted—but his ability to charm women was second to none.
Whether it was an untouchable ice queen or a tsundere maiden, none could resist him.
"My dear, I'm not worried. After all, I have you, don’t I? Speaking of which, your soul has reached the Creation Realm, hasn’t it? If some unbeatable expert descends, you can just step in, right? Your husband here... is counting on you, my love."
Mo Lianxing: "..."
Once again, she’d been reduced to hired muscle.
But Jiang Che wasn’t wrong. Her soul had indeed reached Creation Realm strength, allowing her to unleash attacks comparable to the peak of the Nirvana Stage. Though it would drain her soul energy, Jiang Che’s Azure Dragon Ring was stocked with Soul Nourishment Pills.
[Darling, your wife will protect you unconditionally!]
"Perfect, perfect. Such a tea-like attitude—here, have a Saint-Grade Spirit Stone as a reward!"
[Hehe, thank you, darling! Thank you! From now on, I, Mo Lianxing, am your devoted bodyguard!]
Jiang Che: "..."
Well, her money-grubbing nature hadn’t changed one bit.
Mo Lianxing carefully accepted the water-attribute Saint-Grade Spirit Stone, nearly moved to tears.
In her past life, she had schemed, deceived, and fought tooth and nail in the cultivation world, only to die with a measly three top-grade spirit stones to her name—treasures she had guarded like fragile eggs.
But now, as Jiang Che’s woman, top-grade spirit stones were commonplace, and he had even gifted her a Saint-Grade one!
Truly, she, Mo Lianxing, was the Daughter of Destiny!
While others relied on system daddies or ring-bound elders for their fortunes, her ultimate fortune was just one... well, one thing—Jiang Che!
As long as she clung to Jiang Che’s... leg, her future was set.
...
"I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll spare your lives. But if anyone dares make trouble? My guardian, Sword Elder, won’t go easy on you."
Jiang Che was nothing short of a world-class actor.
Beside him, the illusory Martial God elder—Sword Elder—stepped forward, drawing his blade. The pressure of a Martial God’s aura forced everyone to their knees.
The Destiny Association members were overjoyed. They had expected to perish alongside their leader today, given that their opponent had a Martial God-level guardian.
"Thank you for your mercy, Young Master Jiang!"
"Young Master Jiang is truly magnanimous!"
Jiang Che could barely suppress his grin. He adored this feeling of throwing his weight around.
And Mo Lianxing’s words had just inspired another brilliant idea.
If more powerful experts descended in the future, he could have Mo Lianxing pose as one of his guardians while conjuring illusions of dozens more at the same—or even higher—level.
It was like having an arsenal of weapons—pistols, rifles, machine guns. If the enemy pushed too hard, you just needed to pull out one pistol and shoot one down.
Did it matter if the rest were real or not?
With one real threat hidden among many fakes, who would dare take the gamble?
Plus, this way, he wouldn’t have to splurge on one-time kill items from the system.
Truly, the title of Master Schemer of Blue Planet belonged to none other than Young Master Jiang.
'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.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
