Chapter 101: Stand Up
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The three little pet beasts had gained a lot, but Lin Bai had also gained quite a lot.
He found that this system was quite shrewd. When he imparted a low amount of cultivation, it could trigger a hundred times return. On the contrary, when the imparted cultivation amount was high, it could not trigger it at all.
But even so, he had gained a total of two hundred years of cultivation by imparting cultivation to the three pet beasts. He had crossed the bottleneck and reached the grandmaster realm.
A grandmaster who was only a little over twenty years old would probably scare people to death.
It could be said that it was unprecedented. Even in the ancient times, there were very few people as monstrous as Lin Bai.
It was said that during the ancient times, spiritual energy was very abundant. Due to the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, everyone was born with spiritual energy and opened up spiritual meridians. It could be said that there were no ordinary people. When they were children, they were already in the Houtian state. At that time, it could be said there were countless talented people. It was not an exaggeration to say that even compared to that time, Lin Bai’s cultivation speed was far ahead of everyone else.
Sensing the abundant spiritual energy in his body, Lin Bai nodded his head in satisfaction. Looking at the empty pill bottle on the ground, he could faintly smell a lingering fragrance. This time, it was really thanks to Fool Li.
Otherwise, it would take him some time for him to cultivate and break through to the grandmaster realm.
“Let’s go.”
Lin Bai beckoned the three little ones to leave. However, not long after he left, a small black shadow appeared on the spot. It picked up the empty medicine bottle and sniffed it carefully before disappearing.
Just as he was about to return to the refining room, he heard voices and laughter coming from not far away.
“Hey, look at this fool. He is so funny. He believes whatever I say. I reckon that if I ask him to jump off the cliff, he might jump off without hesitation.”
“Exactly. I lied to him that the mud was a pill that could replenish his body and cure his illness. Yet, this fool actually ate it. Don’t you think it’s funny?”
“I didn’t expect this fool to know how to brag. He said that he had some high-grade pills in his hands, but he gave them to eldest senior brother as a welcome gift. He is simply crazy and stupid.”
Lin Bai originally wanted to leave, but a few keywords floated over. The person they were talking about seemed to be Fool Li, and he couldn’t help but frown as he walked over.
These were a few people from the Alchemist Association. Based on their clothes and wooden tokens, they were probably third-grade alchemists. They formed a circle, and Fool Li was laying on the ground.
They spoke out to coax him, “Fool Li, as long as you crawl through here, we’ll give you very powerful divine grade medicinal pills.” After saying that, he pointed at his crotch and casually grabbed a handful of soil from the ground.
Fool Li said very naively, “Divine grade medicinal pill? Are you talking about the kind that can make you an immortal after eating it?”
Everyone looked at each other, then burst into laughter. “I’m dying of laughter. Did you guys hear that just now? This fool even knows about the medicinal pill that make one become an immortal. Looks like he still knows quite a lot.”
The person in the lead stifled his laughter and said, “That’s right. If you eat it, you’ll be able to attain the Great Dao and become an immortal. Hurry up and crawl through it. We’ll give it to you after you crawl through it.”
Fool Li was crazy and foolish. However, there were times when his mind was slightly enlightened. He looked at the black soil in their hands, immediately, he shook his head and said, “You’re lying. This isn’t some divine grade medicinal pill. I ate it just now and it tasted terrible.”
After that, he seemed to have thought of something. He clapped his hands and laughed loudly, “You’re the fools. You actually believed the stories in the legends. Attain the Great Dao and become an immortal? The divine pill hasn’t been refined at all!”
He danced around the few of them and hummed an unknown ballad. The lyrics didn’t form words, and the sentences didn’t form sentences. No one knew what he was singing. When the few of them saw that they were actually being teased by a fool and ridiculed, they immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation. They threw the soil in their hands out.
“Are you playing with us? ! Today, you have to crawl under the crotch today no matter what!”
The other people moved together and pushed Fool Li to the ground. His face was covered in dirt, and his body was even dirtier.
Fool Li shook his head desperately. “I’m not crawling under, I’m not crawling under.” Even a rabbit would bite someone when it was anxious. He bit the wrist of the person next to him.
“Ah!”
That person screamed and suddenly let go of his hand. Looking at the teeth marks on his hand, even blood was seeping out. His face darkened, and he said angrily, “You’re courting death!”
He waved his hand and a stream of spiritual power burst out. If it hit Fool Li, he would probably suffer a lot of injuries.
“Don’t hit me!” Fool Li covered his head with his hands skillfully and then squatted on the ground. His whole body curled up to protect his important parts, but most of it was exposed.
Although his body was dirty and couldn’t be seen clearly, some old wounds could be vaguely seen. Clearly, he had been beaten up a lot in the past,
“Whoosh!”
However, a divine light shot out from the side and blocked in front of Fool Li, canceling out the spiritual power.
“Who is it!” Everyone hurriedly turned their heads back.
The familiar pain didn’t fall on his bodies. Fool Li slowly let go of his hands and opened his eyes. After seeing clearly who it was, he suddenly jumped up from the ground and rushed toward Lin Bai as if he had seen his savior. “Eldest senior brother!”
“Eldest senior brother?”
Those people looked at each other. They looked at Lin Bai with strange eyes. They did not know where he had come from.
“Why haven’t I seen this person before? Does this fool really have an eldest senior brother?”
Fool Li hid behind Lin Bai and carefully stuck his head out. He pointed at them and said, “Eldest senior brother, they bullied me just now and even lied to me that they had refined a divine grade medicinal pill.”
Lin Bai did not know whether to laugh or cry as his gaze landed on those people. Putting aside the fact that he owed Fool Li a favor, if it was not for that bottle of medicinal pills, he might not even have been able to break through now.
“Who are you? What’s your relationship with this fool?”
Lin Bai said indifferently, “Even strangers who don’t know each other won’t be able to bear it when they see you guys bullying a mentally retarded fool.”
They smiled coldly. “So it seems there are no relationships between you two. Why are you still trying to be a hero and standing up for a fool?”
One of them seemed to recognize Lin Bai.
“I remember now. The last time alchemy master Chen brought someone back, it seemed to be him. I heard that he was going to compete with alchemy master Zhong’s disciple.”
The leader of the group immediately showed a contemptuous expression. “Who did I think it was? He just entered the Alchemist Association. If you know what’s good for you, then leave quickly. Otherwise, we’ll give you a beating too.”
These people were on Zhong Haoran’s side, so they were not afraid of Chen Yan. After all, Zhong Haoran and Chen Yan had an old grudge, which caused the people on both sides to not be on good terms. Occasionally, there would be an argument.
Lin Bai was too lazy to argue with them. He brought Fool Li and was about to leave.
“Wait, you can leave. Fool Li must stay!”
