Chapter 123: The Damn System Finally Did Something Useful for Once

[Page 1 of 3]

Su Ji’an laughed. “When have you ever known me to do anything without confidence? Just wait for our Immortal Guest House to reopen. Once we expand and make it flourish, I’ll be relying on you to support me.”

Zhao Qianxue pressed her lips together, but in the end she could only sigh. The disappointment in her eyes was impossible to conceal. “That’s just like you. Whenever something happens, you always insist on bearing it alone... Little Ji’an, am I really so useless?”

Su Ji’an consoled her earnestly. “Don’t say that about yourself. You’re still useful.”

At once, Zhao Qianxue’s cheeks flushed crimson. “You only know how to spout nonsense... In your eyes, am I good for nothing but my looks?”

“I was talking about your talent for business. You’ve managed our Immortal Guest House so efficiently all by yourself. What else did you think I meant?” Su Ji’an pretended to be astonished.

“I can never win an argument with you. But you must be careful in everything you do... I’ll wait for you to come and get me.” Zhao Qianxue’s mood eased considerably.

“After a while, I’ll get you some pills for cultivation. Raise your cultivation first,” Su Ji’an said before ending the communication.

He had been planning this for a long time. The cultivation resources for advancing from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Spirit Severing Realm would eventually be unlocked anyway.

Once the players of Azure Star grew stronger, such resources would become necessities.

His cultivation had already reached the threshold of the Golden Core Realm.

He estimated that if He Hansu shared her cultivation with him one more time, he would be ready to break through into the Nascent Soul Realm.

But for now, killing those bastards from the Myriad Treasures Pavilion was his most urgent priority.

He had been far too gentle when he looted the Myriad Treasures Pavilion before.

Immediately afterward, Su Ji’an opened the Myriad Heavens Player Summoning interface.

The players from Azure Star were still incapable of dealing with the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

The players he had already summoned from the myriad heavens were each occupied with their own missions.

[The three players summoned this time all come from the same plane. You may choose one to summon.]

[...]

[Yan Chixia]

[Nie Xiaoqian]

[The Black Mountain Old Demon]

Su Ji’an was stunned for a moment. At long last, that useless system had managed to be reliable for once.

At least it had selected a world of immortality. Even if it was not especially powerful, it was sufficient for his present needs.

Yan Chixia was the first to be ruled out. The man’s righteousness was simply too strong; he likely would not willingly work for Su Ji’an.

As for Nie Xiaoqian... that was not his preference.

It seemed that, among the three selected this time, the Black Mountain Old Demon was the most suitable.

The only problem was that Su Ji’an could not quite determine how powerful the Black Mountain Old Demon actually was.

In that world, all the gods and Buddhas had vanished. Even Buddhist statues could become lethal weapons. The underworld and the mortal realm had fallen into disorder, while ghosts and monsters ran rampant.

It was a classic case of the tiger having left the mountain, leaving the monkeys to proclaim themselves kings.

The Black Mountain Old Demon’s combat strength seemed to be nothing extraordinary.

Perhaps, at most, he was at the Mahayana Realm. In truth, he might even be weaker.

[Player summoned successfully. The player has randomly descended into the wilderness near Spirit Show Village and received a suitable identity. Please edit this player’s exclusive mission.]

Su Ji’an immediately began editing it.

[From this day forward, make the destruction of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion your life’s purpose. Begin by burning, killing, looting, and plundering its branch establishments. Loot no fewer than ten branches of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion each day. If you can wipe out the pavilion’s upper echelons in one sweep, the mission will end ahead of schedule.]

[...]

[This mission will receive the full support of the mission system.]

The main issue was that he could not determine the Black Mountain Old Demon’s cultivation level.

If the other party truly possessed Mahayana cultivation, Su Ji’an would simply arrange for him to assassinate the master of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

In any case, Su Ji’an could add subsequent missions later. There was no need to make the preliminary mission overly complicated.

Still, even if the Black Mountain Old Demon was only at the Spirit Severing Realm, that would fall within his expectations.

Ransacking more than a dozen branches of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion in a single day should not be difficult.

Even if the pavilion’s actual losses were not that great, it still could not withstand such treatment.

There was no way it could reopen its establishments as quickly as he could rob them.

[Please set the deadline for the player to complete the mission.]

[Loot no fewer than ten branches of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion each day, and completely destroy the Myriad Treasures Pavilion within three years.]

The system mission Su Ji’an had received likewise required him to destroy the Myriad Treasures Pavilion within three years.

Although some time had already passed, the two deadlines were not far apart.

[Please set the contents of the player’s beginner gift package.]

Su Ji’an thought for a moment, then placed ten Grand Teleportation Talismans and fifty Swift Movement Talismans inside the beginner gift package.

They were mainly means of travel and methods of preserving one’s life.

The other party probably would not need psionic armor.

He could slowly supplement the package with other items later.

[Mission generated. Awaiting player acceptance.]

[Current remaining spiritual energy: 133,535]

Su Ji’an then summoned Shen Qing’er and had her assume the role of his mount.

Naturally, matters would not end so simply. Once his fury had reached its depths, there was no longer any need for restraint.

He had not originally intended to rush the destruction of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. After all, it would cost him a considerable amount of money.

But those bastards who had gone after Zhao Qianxue deserved to die together, every last one of them.

Through the player channel, Su Ji’an had already learned where they were headed.

After looting two shops in Cold Mountain City, the people from the Myriad Treasures Pavilion had continued on to Autumn Lake City, the nearest city.

If he hurried to Autumn Lake City now, he probably would not make it in time.

“Then we’ll head straight for Liyang City, the closest city to Autumn Lake City...”

Su Ji’an’s gaze narrowed slightly. He decided to bring Yu Ming along this time.

Once they arrived, he would first have Yu Ming test the other party’s strength before deciding whether to join the fight himself.

In his view, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion should not send a Void Refinement cultivator to deal with the Immortal Guest House, but caution was still necessary.

After Shen Qing’er and Yu Ming arrived, Su Ji’an took out two suits of psionic armor and handed them to them.

“Put these on.”

Shen Qing’er and Yu Ming returned to their respective rooms to change.

Although Shen Qing’er had her doubts about Su Ji’an’s orders, she absolutely could not reveal them.

She felt the strange texture of the psionic armor in her hands. It looked like immortal clothing, yet it possessed none of the spiritual resonance such garments should have.

And yet, it seemed to contain a mysterious and unfathomable power.

Her curiosity about Su Ji’an’s identity grew stronger.

Regardless, she desperately needed to break free of his control.

Shen Qing’er could hardly wait to confirm her father’s identity and avenge the blood feud.

Although she could not see through Su Ji’an’s cultivation, she deduced that it was probably not very high.

Otherwise, when he killed Bai Jing before, he would not have needed to use a Binding Talisman so extravagantly.

[...]

Su Ji’an and the others reached Liyang City in a matter of moments.

At that time, the Immortal Guest House in Liyang City remained safe and untouched.

Su Ji’an instructed them, “Yu Ming, take these Binding Talismans and hide them inside the Immortal Guest House...”

Yu Ming’s expression remained blank. When it came to Su Ji’an’s orders, he would carry them out without the slightest deviation.

Immediately afterward, Su Ji’an led Shen Qing’er into hiding.

Next, they would wait in ambush, patiently awaiting the arrival of the people from the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
