Where is the righteous fairy we were promised?

However, just seconds after Lin Wanqing entered the room...

Jiang Ning's previously aroused and distressed expression instantly transformed into a calm and composed demeanor, as if nothing had happened.

He shuddered and easily shattered the binding talismans on his body.

"Crack!"

The leash collar around Jiang Ning's neck also shattered into countless dust particles in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ning stood up casually and patted off non-existent dust from his body.

Then, Jiang Ning popped a crystal-clear pill into his mouth.

[Anti-Aphrodisiac Pill: Priced at 3 Life Points in the System Shop, it can neutralize most aphrodisiacs used by cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage.]

[Note: During the detoxification process, the medicinal power can be absorbed into one's own body to enhance one's cultivation.]

Jiang Ning let out a long breath and took out another sound recording bead.

A surge of magical power emanated from his fingertips as he lightly tapped the surface.

The next moment, the recording bead emitted the roar that Jiang Ning had previously recorded.

"Wanqing... Wanqing..."

"Untie my brother..."

"Your brother Ning knows he was wrong..."

Please...

Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction and placed it at the door.

This sound recorder can play for half a day, just enough for Lin Wanqing to vent her anger.

Then, Jiang Ning took out a long banana and leisurely ate it as he walked.

"system."

【Please give your instructions, host.】

"Check Lin Wanqing's favorability rating."

[Bound to the Chosen One: Lin Wanqing.]

[Current favorability: 20. 】

Jiang Ning walked to the open space at the stern of the boat, looking at the ever-changing scenery outside, and a "villain-exclusive" smile appeared on his lips.

"Just a little revenge, and you won't lose favorability?"

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

"They seem easier to coax than before."

054 - As You Wish

【ding dong——】

[Please note, host, you are free to choose the reward for this mission.]

[The following are the optional rewards: 1. Ancient Immortal Vine Leaf, 2. Spirit Bird Feather, 3. Fragment of Langhuan, 4. Ruyi Talisman, 5. Azure Jade Spirit Branch.]

Please select two items as rewards for this mission.

[If you do not wish to make a choice this time, you can also choose a reward and accumulate it for the next mission.]

[Click to view details of each reward.]

[Note: Regular lottery draw chances have been distributed.]

[Current number of draws: 14 (including 10 regular draws, or 1 guaranteed rare reward).]

Jiang Ning raised his hand to support his chin, looking at the transparent light screen reflected in front of him.

He didn't rush to check the descriptions of the rewards for each task.

Instead, he deliberately waited for a while.

After seeing that the task rewards no longer changed.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but purse his lips.

It wasn't that he was dissatisfied with the mission rewards.

Instead, he had originally hoped that the mission rewards would be upgraded.

After all, this is a series of missions that combine four tasks.

Shouldn't we give them a big, exceptional reward?

Even though the system had already explained it very clearly to him last time.

Given the current level of the subsystem, the quality of the rewards after completing the task is unlikely to be high.

No matter how many times you complete the task, the quality of the reward will always be within the range of [White: Common] and [Green: Excellent].

But, if we don't take this opportunity to extort some money from the system...

This is not in line with Jiang Ning's character!

Jiang Ning immediately coughed twice, giving himself a mental "hint".

"Ahem, system..."

"We have known each other for many years. Although we were not destined to meet in our past lives, we have always been connected in our hearts."

"Now that your host has stood me up, I've suddenly had an idea..."

"I am now upgrading the subsystem level, and the rewards for this mission will be distributed according to the [Possession Level]."

"System, what do you think?"

The system wisely did not respond to Jiang Ning's attempt to exploit the bug.

Jiang Ning tried several more times in his mind, but still couldn't convince the system to accept his proposal to get something for nothing.

Left with no other choice, Jiang Ning could only sigh deeply and say with considerable melancholy:

"In this world, even the system can't be fooled anymore."

Why should the transmigrator's cheat code help the host cheat in every possible way?

"Our boss is so inflexible, he won't even let me in through the back door..."

Seeing that the system still didn't respond, Jiang Ning muttered strange things like "the system's heart is no longer what it used to be" and "the world is going downhill".

After several attempts, Jiang Ning finally gave up on the idea of ​​getting something for free.

Instead, they began to carefully examine the detailed information about the rewards for each task.

[Four Ancient Leaves of Immortal Vine (500 Years Old): One of the main ingredients of the Tier 2 Elixir - the Youth-Preserving Elixir.]

[Spirit Bird Feather x4: One of the main materials for crafting earth-type magical artifacts, which can greatly increase the "Counterattack" and "Sharpness" attributes.]

【Lucky Charm x4: A special one-time use item that slightly increases the user's luck.】

[Fragments of the Langhuan Manual x4: Unknown fragments of ancient books, which may contain complete or incomplete "elixirs," "cultivation methods," "magic spells," or "ancient secrets."]

[Golden Essence Pill x4: When taken by those with a metal-attribute spiritual root, it can increase their cultivation to a certain extent, without leaving any pill poison residue.]

Before long, Jiang Ning had finished looking at all the optional rewards for this mission.

Then, he discovered one of the more interesting task rewards.

——【Fragments of Langhuan】

Jiang Ning knew in his previous life that the fragments of Langhuan were actually a legacy left to the Southern Wilderness by the Ancient Heavenly Venerable.

And that ancient Heavenly Venerable was the last Longevity Heavenly Venerable of the Southern Wilderness Realm two thousand and twenty-four years ago!

It is said that since the time of the Heavenly Venerable, no cultivator in the Southern Wilderness Realm has been able to attain immortality.

Jiang Ning himself was also stuck at the Great Perfection of the Dao Integration Stage.

He never managed to take that step until his death.

Perhaps the main characters can work together to achieve immortality and then break through to a wider world of cultivation.

Unfortunately, Jiang Ning died before he could attain immortality.

However, Jiang Ning was also well aware that there were indeed other cultivation worlds outside the Southern Wilderness Realm.

Moreover, it is even higher than the cultivation ceiling in the Southern Wilderness Realm.

After all, three of the chosen women and two of the chosen protagonists came from other cultivation worlds.

Jiang Ning simply didn't know how to break through the barrier.

Zhong Wanli was extremely possessive of him and would not allow him to even think of leaving the realm.

Therefore, until Jiang Ning's downfall, he had not come into much contact with these kinds of secrets.

This left Jiang Ning with a very limited understanding of the other three cultivation worlds.

All that is known are the three mysterious cultivation worlds, named "Eastern Pole," "Western Barbarians," and "Northern Imperial."

Besides that, there are fragmented background stories about the protagonist and the chosen one.

Returning to the story of the Ancient Celestial Venerable, this powerful figure actually possessed an extremely unique identity.

Because the year he attained immortality was the first year that the Southern Wilderness Calendar was put into use.

For more than two thousand years since then, the cultivation world of the Southern Wilderness has been researching how to attain immortality.

But in the end, only one widely accepted guess came to mind...

That long-lost "Eternal Green Secret" is very likely the key to transcending tribulations and ascending to immortality!

Jiang Ning expressed skepticism about this speculation and declined to comment.

But Jiang Ning knew that the Ancient Celestial Venerable did indeed have a library that had never been discovered before—the Langhuan Pavilion.

The so-called fragments of Langhuan most likely originated from Langhuan Pavilion.

In his previous life, Jiang Ning had obtained some fragments of the Langhuan manual.
