Chapter 17: I Want to Calm Down

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Famous?!”

Hearing the words of Fang Chaoqun, Jiang Lin felt his heart skip a beat.

[Breaking news! Why did Black Tortoise City’s female pig repeatedly shriek at midnight? Why is the 80-year-old aunty glowing with beauty? Is the truth behind this twisted human nature or corruption of morals! Now, taking you into today’s headlines—the Dragon Gate Sect’s Fairy Lin Qingwan tragically lost her innocence in the poisonous hands of a devilish flower thief…]

Snatching the Black Tortoise City Daily newspaper from the hands of Fang Chaoqun, and looking at the headline on the newspaper, Jiang Lin almost had a heart attack, his mind in a trance.

A short while ago, the system told Jiang Lin that he had completed the “City Villain” achievement. Jiang Lin was puzzled, but he didn’t expect it to be because of this!

“Congratulations, Brother Jiang! I knew that Brother Jiang entered the Dragon Gate Sect in female disguise, having grand intentions! I didn’t expect that Brother Jiang would go for Fairy Lin Qingwan, not to kill her, but to kill her heart. Brother Jiang had Fairy Lin in the palm of his hands. I guess that Fairy Lin’s dao heart must be damaged! Brother Jiang’s performance in the Disrupt the Grand Tournament of Sects must be in the top 10!”

“No! This is slander! This is a rumor! Who wrote this story? I’m sending them a lawyer’s demand letter!”

Jiang Lin slapped the table angrily and stood up, closed his eyes, and raised his head. In his heart, he silently shed two streaks of tears…

“Brother Jiang… What is a lawyer’s demand letter? Is a lawyer a profession? What does it do? What kind of letter is it? A love letter1?”


“Brother Fang, please stop making jokes. I’m serious.”

“Hmm???”

“Forget it… Brother Fang, I want to calm down1. Can Brother Fang go out first? I will bear in mind Brother Fang’s aid here, and I will definitely give Brother Fang a share of the reward for this quest.”

“Gee… we’re friends that have stolen undergarments together—sharing or not, don’t be a stranger—but since Brother Jiang is so insistent, then I won’t hold back.” Fang Chaoqun patted Jiang Lin on the back. “Then I’ll let Brother Jiang think of Lady Jing. For Brother Jiang to think of her so much, I believe Lady Jing must be as beautiful as a heavenly fairy. I will leave Brother Jiang alone.”

Fang Chaoqun placed a roasted chicken on the table, and walked out with a smile.

Resuming his seat, Jiang Lin pulled a long face.

Just this morning, when the system quest came out, Jiang Lin decisively chose option one, and the moment the Dragon Gate Sect disciples rushed in, Jiang Lin immediately tore off his clothes and pounced on Lin Qingwan with only his pants on.

Jiang Lin was already prepared to be stabbed by Senior Sister Lin at that time.

Jiang Lin thought that as long as his senior sister’s longsword pierced his heart, it wouldn’t be too much of a problem for him to move closer through his senior sister’s longsword, and then hold Senior Sister Lin’s cheek in front of the Dragon Gate Sect’s disciples, playing the image of a man who died for love; it also wouldn’t be a problem to kiss his senior sister a few more times before he died.

Then he would just resurrect himself a little further away.

But when the sword that his senior sister had raised was less than 0.01 centimeters from Jiang Lin’s heart, Jiang Lin didn’t expect Senior Sister Lin to drop the longsword in her hand!

At that time, when Jiang Lin pounced on his senior sister and hugged her successfully, Jiang Lin was dumbfounded, and he even felt as if the heartbeat of his senior sister in his arms was accelerating!

Those disciples of the Dragon Gate Sect were even more afraid to come forward when they saw their aloof and cold Senior Sister hugging him.

Jiang Lin felt that they had to have thought that he had taken Lin Qingwan hostage, so they didn’t dare to act rashly, but in reality, it was Lin Qingwan’s blushing, delicate face that had everyone frozen in place.

Although almost everyone was dumbfounded at the time, Jiang Lin could no longer think about it at the moment, and he hurriedly transformed into the River King, put on all attack speed items, and auto-attacked her frantically.

Initially, Jiang Lin was waiting for his senior sister to kill out of annoyance, but his senior sister stayed in place, just like Nana Ebina1, and Jiang Lin jumped out the window in a hurry after saying sorry…

After that, the Dragon Gate Sect disciples who came back to their senses chased Jiang Lin out, and Jiang Lin encountered Fang Chaoqun, who was hitting on the other sect’s junior sisters. In the end, Fang Chaoqun pulled Jiang Lin into the small, dilapidated courtyard.

This was the truth of the matter. It was fine to say that he had been frivolous with his senior sister, but how did she lose her innocence?!

Jiang Lin had already figured out his current predicament.

Although the Dragon Gate Sect couldn’t be considered a first-class sect in Wutong Province, it was considered to be in the middle to the upper level, especially since Senior Sister Lin was already among the Dragon Gate Tiers before she was 20 years old, and was an elite of the younger generation in Wutong Province.

In the latest promising talents roll of Wutong Province, Senior Sister Lin was ranked eighth, and Senior Sister Lin’s appearance was also in the top 10 of the beauty roll of Wutong Province. With both strength and beauty, there were countless suitors!

It could be said that Jiang Lin felt that he only needed to run out into the street, and shout, “I am Jiang Lin, come kill me if you’re a brother,” and then Jiang Lin would have many more half-brothers…

What should he do now?

Eating a chicken leg and drinking tea, Jiang Lin thought about it, and kept pacing in the middle of the room.

It was impossible to absolve himself; he was a member of a demon sect, so no one would believe him.

So, all he could do was…

Suddenly, a gleam of wisdom flashed in Jiang Lin’s eyes!

That was right! All he could do was to die again!

Although Wutong Province was the smallest state of the nine provinces, Wutong Province had something that no other province had, and that was the Mysterious Trails Mystic Realm!

Although there were many mystic realms in this world, there was only one mystic realm like the Mysterious Trails Mystic Realm known to exist.

[Mysterious Trails Mystic Realm] appeared once every 10 years, and lasted for one month at a time. The location of each appearance was different, like a mystery, hence the name Mysterious Trails Mystic Realm, but the mystic realm appeared in Wutong Province every time.

The mystic realm was rich in materials and highly abundant in spirit energy, and a day of cultivation there was equal to 10 days of cultivation outside. There was a rumor that the mystic realm was the main battlefield of the ancient gods and great powers, and because the battle was so intense, a large area of land was split from the world, and became the mystic realm.

So if you were lucky enough, meaning if you had European blood, it was possible to pick up SSR weapons and whatnot. Still, the durability of such equipment was basically gone, and it generally could only be used as materials. Even if it was useful, one basically couldn’t unleash much of its power… After all, everyone on the ancient battlefield was too powerful.

Regarding the attribution of the Magic Mysterious Mystic Realm, the sects of other provinces naturally also had it in mind, but Wutong Province’s territory was small, while its strength was considered mid-level; it was a matter of a province’s face, so in the case of the Mysterious Trails Mystic Realm, all the sects were on the same side.

And although the Mysterious Trails Mystic Realm was rich in products, it was not to the extent that it was nature-defying, so the other provinces didn’t need to fight with the whole Wutong Province for a mystic realm. Besides, the other provinces’ sects each had their ideas, and they couldn’t unite as Wutong Province did for the sake of the mystic realm, or the dignity of the province, so the Mysterious Trails Mystic Realm was held by Wutong Province all the time.

Every two months before the mystic realm appeared, signs would show up that would identify the location of the mystic realm, and the sect closest to the mystic realm would be able to host the mystic realm.

Cultivators above the Immortal Abode Tier and below the Uncut Jade Tier could go there, but not everyone could enter.

The mystic realm would select the “destined” people to enter on its own, and those who were rejected from entering the mystic realm would rarely be able to enter again.

As for what the criteria were for this “destined person”, no one could say clearly. For example, there was a man of Nascent Soul Tier from a great sect who wanted to enter the Mysterious Trails Mystic Realm but was rejected, while some entered, but their tiers would be suppressed to the early stages of Immortal Abode Tier.

And even if you were a “destined person,” you could never enter the mystic realm more than three times.

But no matter what, the Mysterious Trails Mystic Realm that appeared every 10 years had become a grand ceremony for the younger generation of Wutong Province, and the sects that held the Mysterious Trails Mystic Realm each year were quite fortunate.

Charging three medium-grade spirit stones per person as an entrance fee was secondary to the fact that Wutong Province’s Mysterious Trails Mystic Realm was like the World Cup on Earth, driving a boom in tourism near the sect, and bringing in long-lasting revenue.

After holding a grand tournament, there were even some small sects that directly turned into a tourist attraction, collecting tickets and selling products, and they were simply having the best time.

So!

Jiang Lin decided that he would die a splendid death in front of the Mysterious Trails Mystic Realm where all of Wutong Province’s elites would gather!

Correct! He was going to die in front of everyone, and the more tragically he died, the better!

When everyone in Wutong Province knew he was dead, would they go looking for trouble with a “dead man”?

“I’m such a genius!”

Jiang Lin clapped his hands and made his decision. As for Senior Sister Lin’s sore point, he would think of a solution when the time came.

After finding a solution to the problem, Jiang Lin felt a lot more at ease, and could focus on the things his system gave him.

His 18-year-old body came to this world… and turned into eight years old… then he was picked up by the master back to the demon sect, and from then on became a member of the demon sect.

Then again, between the sudden awakening of the system a year ago and now, having done large and small quests, he had made some accomplishments; he currently had 13,000 Infamy.

There were still three bottles of body tempering liquid, and finally the fist recipe, “Return My Drifting Fist,” which was given to him for the City Villain achievement.

Seriously, when the system gave Jiang Lin this fist recipe, Jiang Lin’s heart was pounding…

Internal enlightenment and self-identification.

Closing his eyes, he opened the system shop, which had various martial arts techniques.

The fist recipes were Tai Chi, Fist of Seven Damages, Pegasus Meteor Fist, Rozan Shou Ryuu Ha, and so on… It was like an illustrated handbook.

One of them was already lit up on the logo cover of Return My Drifting Fist, which indicated that he had obtained it.

The grades were N, R, SR, and SSR, and Tai Chi was SSR. The price of it was naturally very touching… only 999,999 Infamy.

There were even more recipes for swords, including the Jade Maiden Sword Technique, the Dugu’s Nine Swords, and the Starburst Stream, and the Ichi no tachi1, to name a few.

The grades were also divided in the same way as the fist recipes. The entire store was divided into four grades of N, R, SR, and SSR.

Apart from fist and sword recipes, there were also some secret kungfu techniques and whatnot. Jiang Lin gasped when he saw the Fiery Red Lotus, and couldn’t help but exclaim in horror.

In addition to the secret recipes, there were quite a few weapons, ranging from exceptionally fine swords to Fiery Happiness and the Icy Deadly Sadness1, just about everything.

Not only that, but Jiang Lin also saw Ganjiang and Moye, Excalibur, Gae Bolg, and the last one, Enuma Elish, which blinded Jiang Lin as it was clearly labeled “only available in the lottery”…

As for the grade of Enuma Elish, it was even marked with a “???”.

In addition to these weapons and secret techniques, the mall also sold some materials, potions, and household goods, but the price wasn’t low. Jiang Lin saw that a body tempering liquid cost 500 Infamy per bottle and buy 10 bottles to get one free.

Leaving the mall, originally Jiang Lin had thought that the 13,000 Infamy he had in his hands was quite a lot, but he hadn’t expected it to be so dull.

The lottery page required drawing charms on the system’s lottery, which reminded Jiang Lin of a certain game produced by DogEase1 in his previous life.

1,000 Infamy for one draw, one free draw for 10 in a row. There was a daily change for an increase in drawing probability for a certain item; like today, the likelihood of drawing the Enuma Elish increased.

Although the words Enuma Elish were tempting, Jiang Lin only took a glance at it.

Didn’t those card pool probability increase screw him over enough back in the day? Would he believe this? Wicked game developers!

So, Jiang Lin turned around to leave without hesitation.

A few breaths later…

A rune representing 10 consecutive draws fell into the furnace.

“With most haste, by the law1…”

11 flashes of light emerged from the fireplace accompanied by a familiar sound…

A moment later, in Jiang Lin’s backpack were five bottles of body tempering liquid, three catties of multicolored soil, two Earth Shrinking Talismans, and a bottle of immortal sword maintenance liquid…

Finally, Jiang Lin still wanted to try his luck, thinking of a drawing in singles to get a miracle, and he drew three pentagrams, receiving three more body tempering liquids…

At this point, Jiang Lin had no more Infamy points…

Returning to reality, he took out a dozen bottles of body tempering liquid and three pounds of earth he had on him, and laid them out on the table, pulling a long face.

What the hell was with multicolored soil! Was he going to fire his ceramic? And in the store, it only cost 300 Infamy per catty! 10 catties to get one catty for free… He simply made a huge loss!


Then he looked at the body tempering liquid (can build up a martial artist’s physique) on the table.

The problem was that he was a sword cultivator!

“Why don’t I dual cultivate with the sword and the body?”

He couldn’t just waste it. Even though in the later stages of cultivation, the true martial qi and the spirit energy in one’s body would collide, and he couldn’t be a pure martial artist like Chen Jia, it could strengthen his body and strengthen his kidneys!

After carefully thinking about it, Jiang Lin thought it was feasible to ask Chenjia how he cultivated as a martial artist.

“Brother Jiang! Brother Jiang!”

Just when Jiang Lin was thinking about how he would fool Chen Jia into teaching him the martial artist’s cultivation method, the voice of the Fang Chaoqun sounded up at the door.

With a swipe of his long sleeves, all the items on the table were stored in the system’s item bar, and Jiang Lin opened the door.

“Brother Fang, what’s wrong?”

“Brother Jiang, stop thinking about sister-in-law Jing Jing. Black Tortoise City has just sent out a notice that the qualification test for entry into the Mysterious Trails Mystic Realm has been brought up to this afternoon. So, let’s hurry up and go to the test. If there are no surprises, those who qualify will enter the Mysterious Trails Mystic Realm tomorrow!”
