Chapter 43: Great Fortune and Great Opportunity

Jiang Xincheng did not easily let go of Liu Yifeng and Liu Yijun’s cousin. It seemed like he freed him, but he actually used hidden force to enter his Meridians and Dantian. Within a year or so, Liu Yifeng and Liu Yijun’s cousin would become useless. By that time, Liu Yifeng, Liu Yijun, and their cousin would wish they were dead.

To those who wanted to kill him, Jiang Xincheng would not show any mercy. In this life, Jiang Xincheng absolutely would not be as weak as he was in his previous life. If someone cut him once, he would cut off their head. If someone wanted to kill him, he would make them suffer a fate worse than death.

After this incident, Jiang Xincheng and Lin Anan grew closer. There was a faint sign that they might become a couple. But in his previous life, even at the time of Lin Anan’s death, Jiang Xincheng was just a little brother that she took care of. Their relationship never developed beyond that.

That result was not what Jiang Xincheng wanted. Having lived a second life, Jiang Xincheng already knew what he wanted.

After seeing Lin Anan, Xuanyuan Ningshuang, and the others back to their dorm, Jiang Xincheng returned to his rented room and started cultivating again.

He operated Devouring the Cosmos, drawing the endless pure Primordial Force from the world into his body. Bit by bit, he increased his strength. Every minute and every second, he could feel his power growing. Inside his Dantian, the Primordial Force mist continuously expanded.

After several days like this, Jiang Xincheng felt that his Cultivation Foundation was completely solidified. He began to take the Lotus Leaf Elixir, using the power of the pill to rapidly advance his strength.

One Lotus Leaf Elixir went down his throat. The abundant medicinal power surged fiercely inside Jiang Xincheng’s body. He absorbed it at lightning speed.

This top-grade first-level Lotus Leaf Elixir contained a huge amount of medicinal power. After all, even among first-level pills, the Lotus Leaf Elixir was one of the hardest Spiritual Elixirs to refine. It could also help a Primordial Warrior break through the bottleneck of the Tendon Training Realm.

So even though Jiang Xincheng had already stepped into the Tendon Training Realm, the Lotus Leaf Elixir still had a great effect on him. Feeling the rapid increase of Primordial Force in his body, Jiang Xincheng smiled slightly. Indeed, using pills was the best way to improve strength. With this one Lotus Leaf Elixir, he had advanced as much as he would have in nearly a month of hard training.

Without thinking further, Jiang Xincheng sat cross-legged. With single-minded focus, he operated Devouring the Cosmos, increasing the Primordial Force in his body at an extremely fast pace.

After an hour, he completely absorbed this Lotus Leaf Elixir. Jiang Xincheng’s strength was now much closer to the Mid Tendon-Training Stage. He took another Lotus Leaf Elixir and continued cultivating.

Time passed unnoticed during cultivation. In the blink of an eye, several days had gone by. Apart from eating, Jiang Xincheng spent all his time on cultivation. Such diligent training gave him ample reward.

His Primordial Force realm finally reached the peak of the Early Tendon Refining Stage. The next step was to break through the bottleneck of the Early Tendon Refining Stage and step into the Mid Tendon-Training Stage.

But before stepping into the Mid Tendon-Training Stage, he had one more thing to do.

It was now Year 5 of the New Era, a time when Mutated Yuan Crystals were appearing one after another. Although ninety-nine percent of these Mutated Yuan Crystals contained deadly poison, and a Primordial Warrior would meet with disaster if they mistakenly took one, there were also some Mutated Yuan Crystals that were not harmful to the human body. Instead, they were greatly beneficial to Primordial Warriors. For a Primordial Warrior, they could even be a great fortune and a great opportunity.

For example, this month in Nanhai City, a certain teenager would, because of one Mutated Yuan Crystal, have his cultivation talent raised by one grade. His cultivation speed would soar dramatically. From an unknown ordinary Primordial Warrior, he would step by step cultivate to the Cloud Condensation Realm, becoming a Primordial Warrior expert who, in the previous life, was several times stronger than Jiang Xincheng.

In his previous life, when Jiang Xincheng was older, he was responsible for guarding the library of the Xuanyuan Family, the first family of the Shenxia Alliance. With nothing to do every day, he read books. He read almost all the books in the Xuanyuan Family’s library.

These books included not only Origin Force Cultivation Methods, Origin Force Combat Skills, alchemy methods, forging methods, but also some Tales of the Unusual. They recorded interesting events related to Primordial Warriors and Primordial Force cultivation that happened in the Hua Nation from the appearance of Primordial Force until New Era Year 65.

And in June of Year 5 of the New Era, such an interesting event happened in Nanhai City. A child from a poor family unintentionally obtained a Mutated Yuan Crystal. After mistakenly taking it, his cultivation talent jumped from lower-middle grade to middle grade. His cultivation speed increased dramatically, thus setting him on the path to becoming an expert. He became a minor expert in Nanhai City.

Even so, many Primordial Warriors who read this Tale of the Unusual still felt it was a waste. After all, that Mutated Yuan Crystal could transform a Primordial Warrior’s cultivation talent, giving them a rebirth-like change. Yet it was used on a Primordial Warrior whose cultivation talent was only lower-middle grade. This Primordial Warrior’s lifetime achievement was only the Cloud Condensation Realm.

But if this magical Mutated Yuan Crystal was used on a Primordial Warrior with higher cultivation talent, after their cultivation talent was raised by one realm, that Primordial Warrior’s achievement would be even greater.

In his previous life, Jiang Xincheng only read these Tales of the Unusual when he was bored, simply to pass the time. He never imagined he would be reborn. So for him, these Tales of the Unusual were no longer just tales. They were a great fortune and a great opportunity. How could Jiang Xincheng miss such a huge piece of luck?

It was now almost June of Year 5 of the New Era, the right time to go to Nanhai City and search for the Mutated Yuan Crystal.

Having decided, Jiang Xincheng did not hesitate anymore. He immediately bought a train ticket to Nanhai City and boarded the train that very night.

Jiang Xincheng bought a sleeper berth. With the 100,000 Credit Points he obtained from Zhuo Qiang, Jiang Xincheng’s quality of life had soared several levels. Jiang Xincheng was not someone who was unwilling to spend money. After having money, he immediately bought himself several decent sets of clothes, unlike before when he wore whatever was available.

After all, he intended to pursue Lin Anan. How could he remain as shabby as before?

Jiang Xincheng was also confident that he would not lack money in the future. With his strength and decades of experience from his previous life, if he still lived in poverty and hardship, that would be a joke.

Jiang Xincheng bought the lower berth, number 127, in carriage 3. Carrying a travel bag, he boarded the train and went straight to his seat. He sat cross-legged and began cultivating Primordial Force.

The journey from Tianhai City to Nanhai City took more than ten hours. How could he waste such a long time?

But as soon as Jiang Xincheng sat down, he saw an extremely fair-skinned young woman with a pretty face and an extremely graceful figure walk over gracefully. She sat on the opposite lower berth and casually closed the door of the train compartment cubicle.

After putting away her things, the young woman’s charming eyes swept around and fell upon Jiang Xincheng across from her. Especially noticing Jiang Xincheng’s not-cheap clothes, a seductive smile crossed her face. With a fragrant breeze, she sat down next to Jiang Xincheng. “Little brother, you’re cultivating so hard. Are you interested in having some fun? Sister’s skills are very good.”
