Chapter 120: Cultivate Hard and Improve Everyday

Was this the barrier array formation again?

An Lin rubbed his head in pain as Lin Junjun’s words sounded from above. “Uh… hehe, what I just said was, ‘sorry for the intrusion, goodbye now’.”

“Oh? Wasn’t there a second part to that?” Lin Junjun asked with a hint of a smile on her face.

“A second part?”

An Lin’s eyes turned white again as he activated the Divine Inspection Technique, before looking around with feigned confusion. Suddenly, he emitted a powerful stream of energy from his fingers, striking a certain point in the air.

Boom!

Another opening appeared in the barrier array formation.

An Lin’s body fell into free fall once again as he turned back in triumph. “The second part was, ‘the white crane you drew is hilarious’, hahaha…”

Lin Junjun glared at the patch of air where An Lin was, her chest rising and falling in rage.

Keep calm… keep calm…

However, in the end, her heart and liver still throbbed with rage.

“An Lin… I’ll remember you!” she spat out through gritted teeth.

Having resumed his free fall, a strong sense of gravity loss enveloped him as he accelerated downwards.

He didn’t do anything to prevent this, instead allowing his body to accelerate further.

Gale-force winds howled by his ears and the scenery changed with every breath he drew.

Gradually, he was able to feel the presence of the mountain, as well as the power of the wind.

An invisible force began to act from below, counteracting his fall and gradually reducing the speed at which he plummeted.

Although his descent was still extremely fast, at least he was no longer accelerating.

An Lin was still confident that he could save himself from being smashed into mincemeat at this speed.

However, when he fell to roughly thirty thousand feet from the ground, the air resistance seemed to decrease for some reason.

An unknown force was slowly weakening the wind resistance.

Terminal velocity was broken and he began to gain speed yet again…

Holy f*ck, what kind of situation is this!?

The sudden acceleration of his fall sent An Lin into a state of panic.

A wisp of smooth wind, almost as if it were in liquid form, emerged around his body, further reducing the air resistance.

To use the wind as a tool to fly in the wind…

An Lin’s eyes lit up as a flash of enlightenment struck him.

Whoosh!

When he reached roughly one thousand meters from the ground, the speed of his fall had already far surpassed the sound barrier, leaving a trail of white smoke in his wake.

An Lin stared down at the ground as it drew closer and closer, panic rising in his heart again.

“Why is there still no notification from the system? I’m going to die soon…”

At speeds as high as this, he felt like a human bomb.

The terrifying impact from hitting the ground would not only shatter all his internal organs, but he might also just die straight away.

At this speed, a distance of one thousand meters would be covered in one or two seconds.

“Ding Dong!”

Immediately after hearing this sound, An Lin summoned the huge black brick which he had prepared earlier, propelling his body upwards.

However, his alarming downwards momentum could not be easily halted.

Boom!

A huge impact shook the very earth itself as pieces of debris flew everywhere, creating a massive crater in the ground.

As the dust began to settle, a man’s painful moaning could be heard.

An Lin crawled out of the giant crater shakily, dust and soil covering his face. He felt like his whole body had fallen apart at the seams.

But luckily, he had survived!

The Wind Spirit Technique began to flow into his body.

In this moment, An Lin completely grasped the intricacies of the technique, thereby successfully reaching the first stage.

The Wind Spirit Technique was actually a technique which contained the essence of Qi.

Controlling speed, manipulating movement, short term flight… It had many uses.

An Lin smiled with satisfaction before opening the system interface again.

Following his successful attainment of the Wind Spirit Technique, a series of new missions had appeared on the system interface.

In the ‘Cultivation Technique’ category, there was,

Stage One Evergreen Technique–Condition: Consume five wood-type immortal pills in succession.

An Lin was slightly taken aback after seeing this condition.

Five immortal pills… this was a mission only a filthy rich cultivator could complete.

But luckily, he was filthy rich himself!

It looked like he’d have to make a trip to Dou Shuai Palace upon his return to the Heavenly Court.

He could also learn a water-type cultivation technique,

Stage One Divine Liquid Creation Technique–Condition: Absorb all the energy essence from a Soul Formation Stage horned dragon.

The Soul Formation Dragon mentioned here was also known as the Dragon King of the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas.

In An Lin’s current situation, not only did he not have a vendetta against the Dragon Clan, but he was also not powerful enough to complete the condition, so that one could only be laid to rest for now.

Lastly, there was also an update on the ‘Cultivation Base’ category.

Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage–Condition: Cultivate hard and improve every day.

An Lin: “…”

Very good, fantastic.

Could somebody tell a cultivator like him, who’d materialized a beast core…

Exactly how he should cultivate!

What the f*ck!

If the system could manifest itself in human form, An Lin would definitely whip its ass for three days and three nights!

This was clearly a case of setting a trap for him, then leaving him to fend for himself once he fell into the trap.

An Lin’s heart throbbed dully, even his breathing became a bit difficult due to rage.

He had only managed to lift his spirits through great effort, but now his mood had been soured again.

So be it…

If the time came, he could just ask Xiao Chou how he cultivated.

If worst comes to worst… he can just renounce his humanity.

He pulled out his sensory talisman and began to detect for Xiao Chou’s location.

They hadn’t gone far and were still close to the Cloud Mountain.

An Lin held the sensory talisman in his hand as he searched for Xiao Chou on his flying brick.

After flying for a while, he detected an aromatic scent.

This was a very mysterious scent, it seemed to encompass a series of different scents…

A shiver ran through his whole body, this had to be the scent of the Rainbow Cow!

He immediately increased his speed. “Wait for me, Rainbow Cow, hahaha…”

Sure enough, he saw a fire in the distance as well as Luo Ziping and the others!

The black brick made a landing and An Lin leaped off before immediately enquiring, “You guys are eating Rainbow Cow, right?”

Everyone nodded before turning their sympathetic gazes upon him.

A feeling of uneasiness rose up in his heart at this sight.

“Is… there any left?” Tears began to well up in his eyes.

Miao Tian couldn’t help but burp with satisfaction at this moment.

Sun Shenglian smiled coldly. “Team leader, you’re too late.”

“That’s ok, you can make some soup from that stuff, it should still be quite delicious.” Miao Tian laughed while pointing to a pile of bones on the ground.

An Lin winced before collapsing to the ground with a hopeless expression. “My Rainbow Cow, how could you guys do this…”

There was only a pile of bones on the ground, but the scent of the Rainbow Cow still permeated throughout the air, this was like torture from the pits of hell to him!

This was like someone enjoying simmer-fried ribs and spicy chicken wings in front of you whilst you starved, and you could only look on in hopelessness.

Despair…

Luo Ziping tried to ease An Lin’s pain with words. “Big Brother An, at least you experienced the thrill of bungee jumping, sacrifices must be made in life sometimes.”

It would have been fine if Luo Ziping didn’t mention this.

But upon his reminder, An Lin immediately thought back to how he was abused by Lin Junjun, after which he experienced the panic of falling from a hundred thousand feet cliff followed by the despair of the system message: ‘Cultivate hard and improve every day’…

He was not only in despair this time, but even the rims of his eyes had turned red!

Xiao Chou was also going to console An Lin upon seeing his despair, but at that moment, a massive wave suddenly rose on the surface of the lake beside them.

Bam!

A massive figure leaped from the lake, bringing with it a vast expanse of water droplets.

An extremely strong aura rippled out in all directions, placing An Lin and his group under an invisible sense of pressure.

“Who has summoned me?”

The creature’s voice was extremely loud, resembling a clap of thunder.
