Though beauties are easy on the eyes, Jiang Cheng is a 'career-oriented' man who values efficiency.
Hurry up and kill, finish killing so I can level up.
Don't dawdle!
"Ding, due to the host's current behavior, here's a gentle reminder from the system: you may provoke the opponent, but requesting them to kill you verbally will be seen as a desire for suicide."
If you want to commit suicide, the system can assist.
Poof!
The system's prompt almost made Jiang Cheng spit blood.
He originally thought he'd go out and find people to kill him everywhere.
Even if he has to pay them, so be it!
If he finds the world's number one expert, wouldn't he become the strongest very quickly?
Turns out this approach is considered suicide?
"What did you say?"
Ji Linghan stared dumbfoundedly at the young man in front of her, wondering if she heard wrong.
She swore she'd never seen such a handsome person in her life; that face was simply heaven's favoritism, flawless.
It even subtly harmonized with certain Daoist principles.
It was only natural; Jiang Cheng's appearance was fine-tuned by the system to match the celestial desolation indestructible body.
But for such a handsome person to seemingly have a problem with his mind.
Asking her to kill him?
"Nothing."
Jiang Cheng quickly waved his hand, full of smiles, pretending that he hadn't just spoken.
Just kidding, dying from provocation means dying in vain.
On the opposite side, Ji Linghan suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed.
"You, you're just a normal person, how did you come here?"
She is a cultivator, and with a slight inspection using her divine sense, she could see Jiang Cheng had no spiritual qi at all.
"Why can't a normal person come in?"
Jiang Cheng asked with interest, actually just trying to extract some information.
"This is a forbidden land, the pressure is immense, a normal person entering would die with ruptured heart arteries."
Why didn't he feel anything from the beginning?
Could it be system protection?
"Alas..."
Jiang Cheng sighed longingly, adjusting his expression.
"Girl, I've sat here for a thousand years, just waiting for the arrival of a destined person. Congratulations, you're the lucky winner!"
Chuckling!
"A thousand years?"
Despite having been in a state of being hunted, Ji Linghan was amused by this statement.
"Blow it on, a normal person living to hundreds is rare, yet a thousand!"
She naturally did not believe it, to retain youth, cultivators at least need to ascend to saint realm.
This person has no spiritual power at all, how could it be possible.
Jiang Cheng stood with hands behind his back, looking up at the sky.
Asked again, "With a cave this deep, can a normal person survive falling down?"
Isn't asking back the way to take the initiative?
Ji Linghan thought, indeed.
Even she, a cultivator who exceeded body tempering, condensed vein, and energy introduction, reaching the gathering yuan realm, felt pain all over after falling, would a normal person end up in pieces?
"Then why do you have no spiritual qi?"
Jiang Cheng had long prepared an excuse.
"I am the Master Taichu from a thousand years ago, who roamed in one direction. In the past, during a duel with an arch-enemy, I was unfortunately deceived, my cultivation sealed, and eventually trapped here!"
"Girl, if you take me out, I shall grant you a providence!"
He himself hasn't even left the newbie area yet, so where would such providence come from? But to deceive Ji Linghan into taking him up, it was worth racking his brains.
Ji Linghan hadn't heard of Master Taichu, but considering how vast Feiyun State is.
With seven prefecutres under its jurisdiction, her Qinglan Prefecture alone spans hundreds of thousands of miles, sect clans scatter across it; it's impossible to know every expert's name.
Moreover, since it's a figure from a thousand years ago.
Surviving a thousand years, at least a celestial fate realm expert!
Cultivation begins with body tempering and has condensing vein, energy introduction, spirit formation, gathering yuan, soul splitting, spirit platform, celestial fate, daoist palace and many other realms.
Celestial fate realm exceeds the ceiling of Qinglan Prefecture, Ji Linghan couldn't imagine how powerful the divine techniques of someone in that realm would be.
The person in front of her hardly seemed like it.
"Senior..."
Though she didn't quite believe it, caution is wise, she still unconsciously changed her address.
"I can't fly up either."
"Ha? You can't fly yet?"
"I can fly, but this is a forbidden land, without reaching soul splitting realm, one cannot overcome the pressure here."
Jiang Cheng was instantly disappointed; this 'tool' person wasn't strong enough.
It seems, he still needs to find a way to 'enlighten' her bit by bit.
In due time... she will fulfill the expectations to kill him.
"Found it!"
"Over here!"
Suddenly, urgent shouts of excitement came from above the cave entrance, followed by four figures jumping down.
"Little wretch, I want to see where you can still escape to!"
The leading woman with a harsh expression, holding a silver sword, pointed directly at Ji Linghan with a wrathful face.
Behind her were three other male disciples, who formed a surrounding stance upon entering.
So truly well-trained, the calmly unfazed Jiang Cheng silently complained.
"Yao Yunxuan, do you really want to drive me to death?"
Ji Linghan stepped forward, conveniently shielding Jiang Cheng behind her.
This little detail made him feel much better about this 'tool' person.
"Hmph, Ji Linghan, weren't you quite tough before?"
"Last year during the Seven Sects' competition, you defeated me in front of everyone. Do you think that was impressive?"
"Now your Feixian Sect has been exterminated, why don't you keep being impressive!"
