"Damn it, what kind of place is this? What kind of garbage is this? It's given me diarrhea every day!" Long Aoqi was furious. His stomach was churning, and he had been having diarrhea for several days.
Every time he picks spiritual fruits and herbs from the Monster Mountain Range, he gets diarrhea after eating them, but he needs to replenish his energy, so he has no choice but to eat them.
Although a Foundation Establishment Stage 9 cultivator can go without food or water for several days, to truly achieve abstinence from grains, one still needs to reach the Golden Core stage.
However, there are very few low-level magical beasts within a hundred miles, and it is very dangerous for him to hunt them for food. He can only dig up some spiritual herbs and fruits to fill his stomach.
Lin Fan poisoned everything nearby that could be eaten. To survive, he had to find food, but eating it would cause him diarrhea, leaving him completely exhausted, creating a vicious cycle.
"Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon this person, what is this little hardship! When I become the Great Emperor, I will make these despicable people who bullied me pay ten times or a hundred times the price."
Long Aotian roared in anger, his stomach churning violently, his eyes bloodshot and filled with ferocity.
He originally intended to lie in wait, hoping to find an opportunity to sneak into the Silver Horned Lion King's cave, steal his companion spirit treasure, and use the immense energy of the demonic beast spirit treasure to break through to the Golden Core realm. If he could also refine the Silver Flame, it would be a double-edged sword as a trump card.
Lin Fan and Chu Yunying hid in the shadows and watched. They were aware of Long Aotian's every move, but they were in no hurry to deal with him.
"Silver Horned Lion King, please come out for a chat!" A clear and melodious voice came from the sky, as sweet and pleasant as a nightingale's song, full of imposing presence, belonging to a Nascent Soul Realm expert.
Lin Fan gazed at the figure in the sky. She wore a phoenix crown and silver robe, and her face was covered by a thin veil, so he couldn't see her face clearly, but he could still guess that she was an unparalleled beauty.
Yue Wushuang, the sect leader of the Hundred Flowers Sect, and Leng Xingyue are known as the Twin Pillars of the Northern Region, also called the Twin Pearls of the Moon. The two are evenly matched in both appearance and strength.
According to the original plot, Yue Wushuang only appeared when Long Aotian, who was at the ninth level of the Golden Core stage, came to the Monster Mountain Range to find the Silver Horned Lion King's companion spirit treasure.
As expected of a protagonist who is fed by the heavens, even Yue Wushuang was arranged to appear ahead of time in order to make him stronger.
"Senior Brother, that woman is a Nascent Soul Realm expert. Should we leave first?" Chu Yunying whispered.
The divine sense of a Nascent Soul Realm expert is very sharp; with careful observation, their whereabouts can be easily detected.
"Don't be afraid, she's not here to cause us trouble. She wants to find that Silver Horned Lion King. We can just sit back and watch the fight," Lin Fan comforted her.
Knowing the tropes of novels well, he could predict the plot. The lion king with the cornered eye would definitely refuse to negotiate with her; the two would fight, and since their strength was roughly equal, they would both be severely injured.
As expected of the protagonist of a novel, he always finds beautiful women by his side wherever he goes.
"You wretched woman, you've crossed the line! Go back to where you came from!" The Silver Horned Lion King charged out, his voice booming like thunder!
"Lion King, please forgive me. I want to discuss a deal with you," Yue Wushuang said calmly, holding a cyan longsword, her spiritual power radiating outwards, its sharpness unstoppable.
"I have nothing to trade with you," the Silver-Horned Lion King said coldly.
Humans and beastmen are inherently mortal enemies. Beastmen enjoy hunting humans, while humans hunt beastmen, using their flesh, blood, and bones for their own purposes.
The two races are sworn enemies, and the fact that they didn't fight when they met shows that the Silver Horned Lion King has already exercised great restraint and tolerance.
“I am willing to exchange two Divine Essence Pills for your companion spirit treasure,” Yue Wushuang said.
"Get out! I don't practice the laws of human rulers, and I have no need for such scum." The Silver Horned Lion King coldly shouted.
It opened its mouth wide and let out a thunderous roar that shook the heavens. Nearby monsters lay prostrate on the ground, trembling in fear.
Yue Wushuang's clothes fluttered in the wind, and her noble demeanor made her look down at the Lion King like a queen.
Two kingly auras erupted and clashed fiercely, immediately igniting a breathtaking battle.
A series of fierce gusts of wind swept through, sword energy crisscrossed, silver light flashed, and thunder roared.
The nearest mountain peak had its top shaved off, and the earth and rocks crumbled like falling meteors, demonstrating the terrifying power of a Nascent Soul Realm expert.
"Senior Brother, Long Haotian has made his move," Chu Yunying nudged his arm and whispered.
“We see it, let’s follow.” Lin Fan said.
Long Aotian quietly made his way towards the Silver Horned Lion King's cave, with two people sneaking around behind him.
The Silver-Horned Lion King's lair was a hidden wonder, spacious and bright, filled with a vast amount of jewels and gold, as well as numerous human skeletons.
A little lion is lying on a crystal, sucking on its paw, as if it is dreaming.
That silver crystal was the Silver Horned Lion King's companion spirit treasure. Once the lion cub reached adulthood, it could break through to the fifth-tier magical beast level simply by refining the energy of this crystal.
Long Aotian crept closer, and when he stood next to the little lion, Lin Fan flicked his finger, sending out a powerful burst of internal energy that struck the little lion's head.
Awooooo
The little lion roared and suddenly stood up, its two big, dark eyes brimming with tears. Although it was a cub, the little lion was taller than Long Aotian and stood up, looking directly down at him.
They stared at each other, both bewildered, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
The little lion was confused because it couldn't understand why a human had appeared in its home.
Long Aotian didn't understand why the little lion had woken up. He had clearly put a sleeping potion in it to make the little lion sleep a little longer.
The excruciating pain brought the lion cub back to its senses. It roared angrily and lunged at Long Aotian.
Caught off guard, Long Aotian tried to escape, but the little lion held his pants tightly in its jaws. The two struggled fiercely, and the sound of tearing fabric could be heard.
With his pants ripped, Long Aotian ran around naked. Chu Yunying cursed under her breath for being vulgar and quickly looked away, not daring to look any longer.
The little lion's cultivation was also at the peak of the second realm, almost on par with Long Aotian. Moreover, this was its territory, so it fearlessly pounced on Long Aotian.
Long Aotian countered with a hand seal, forcefully repelling the little lion, but his stomach started churning, and he almost couldn't hold it in and had diarrhea.
He straightened up and tightened his anus, but the little lion chased after him relentlessly, not giving him a chance.
"I can't hold it in any longer!" Long Aotian's face turned red from holding it in, and he roared angrily in his heart. His stomach churned like a giant dragon, and his anus loosened, causing him to urinate profusely, with filth splattering out.
The little lion was the first to be hit, and by the time it tried to dodge, it was too late. It could only watch as the filth flew towards it, its two bright eyes filled with despair.
It habitually stuck out its tongue and licked its face, immediately emitting an unbearable stench that made it vomit.
Awooooo
The little lion's eyes were bloodshot, and its body glowed with a scarlet light. Its aura rose steadily, breaking through the bottleneck in one fell swoop and directly reaching the realm of a third-tier magical beast.
Watching it relentlessly pursue Long Aotian with its berserk bloodline activated, Lin Fan chuckled. He then tiptoed to the side of the half-life spiritual treasure.
"Junior Sister Chu, let's quickly put this away." Together they made hand seals and put the silver crystal into their storage rings.
Then they secretly left the cave, and Long Aotian and the little lion's figures gradually disappeared into the distance.
At this moment, the battle between the Nascent Soul stage experts ended, and Yue Wushuang fell from the sky like a bird with broken wings, crashing heavily to the ground.
The Silver-Horned Lion King's horn was severed. Its massive body crashed heavily into a mountain, shattering the entire mountainside, sending ice shards flying and triggering an avalanche everywhere.
Lin Fan glanced at Yue Wushuang, looking in the direction she was falling. He thought he couldn't let her meet Long Aotian. If he could change their trajectories, Long Aotian would lose a powerful ally in the future.
"Senior Brother, the exit isn't over there!" Chu Yunying reminded him, puzzled as to why he was changing direction.
"Junior Sister Chu, if you have urgent business, you can take your companion spirit treasure back first. I have other important things to do." Lin Fan lightly tiptoed, and his figure disappeared in a blur.
Chu Yunying looked in the direction he had gone with complicated emotions. She knew about Yue Wushuang.
In his previous life, Long Aotian also met Yue Wushuang in the Monster Mountain Range. The two had some indescribable things happen between them, and thus Long Aotian received Yue Wushuang's strong support.
They stole Long Aotian's destiny. She didn't want Lin Fan and Yue Wushuang to have any entanglement, but she couldn't stop Lin Fan's decision.
The senior brother told her to go back, his tone carrying a hint of command. He didn't want her to risk her life, so she stomped her foot, looking somewhat aggrieved. But she still took advantage of the riot in the Monster Mountain Range to conceal her presence and leave.
The nearby magical beasts rioted; they had received orders from the Silver Horned Lion King to search for Yue Wushuang's whereabouts.
Yue Wushuang was too badly injured and fell into a coma. Her face was pale and there was a hideous wound on her body. Blood kept seeping out and staining the surrounding snow red.
The surrounding magical beasts, drawn by the scent of blood, rushed towards Yue Wushuang and lunged fiercely at her.
Lin Fan appeared just in time, repelled the demonic beast, then picked up Yue Wushuang, used his spiritual power to seal her acupoints to stop the bleeding, and then carried Yue Wushuang away to the deeper part of the demonic beast mountain range.
Outside was the territory of the Silver Horned Lion King, and those magical beasts were frantically searching for Yue Wushuang. They had no choice but to hide in a deeper area.
They found a cave, where Lin Fan put Yue Wushuang down and took out some medicinal powder that demonic beasts disliked, scattering it around the area. He also scattered the Silver Horned Lion King's dung along with it to intimidate the high-level demonic beasts.
The Hundred Flowers Sect and the Azure Sky Sect have long been at odds over resources, and are hostile to each other with fierce competition. Saving her this time should ease the tension between the two sects.
If Yue Wushuang is a grateful person, it might not be impossible for him to facilitate a reconciliation and alliance between the two groups.
Ding: The host has dampened the arrogance of the Chosen One and changed his course. Reward: Myriad Flowers Manual, cultivation level raised to the fifth level of Golden Core Realm.
This damn system really doesn't miss any opportunity. This time it wasn't too outrageous; at least it played a role. He's used to it.
The fact that this reward included not only one's own cultivation level but also the Myriad Flowers Manual is quite intriguing.
