If Only Life Were Like the First Meeting
[You fainted the moment the Hundred-Blade Ring was successfully completed.]
The bill for overdrawing my Divine Sense and body to refine the Hundred-Blade Rings has arrived.
A Crow flew out of your body, shook its head helplessly, and stayed by your side.
[Nineteen years old, with one year of work experience.]
[Trait being generated...]
[Congratulations on obtaining the Trait: Company Invisible Person (Level B) -- In the company, your presence is very low, and everyone subconsciously ignores you. Even when company benefits are distributed, they forget about you.]
[Current Equipment Trait (13/13): Heavy Tomato User (S-tier) / Salty Fish (S-tier) / I'm the Client (S-tier) / I’ll Make Three Points (Grade A) / Early Leave (Grade A) / Artisan Spirit (Grade A) / Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement (Grade A) / Bully at Bully at Home (A -Grade A) / Friend of Women (Grade A) / I Love Working (B-tier) / Overtime (B-tier) / Flattery (B-tier) / Workwear Thug (B-tier)]
Should we replace it?
Lu Ping stared at the Trait and paused for a moment.
Has a very low profile?
That's an amazing skill!
In the world of cultivation, especially in a world where old silver coins are everywhere, what does having a low profile mean?
It means it's safe!
It means you can hide in the shadows and cause trouble without any restraint!
As for being forgotten about distributing welfare?
Does Lu Ping really need those perks?
He's now a man who holds the legacies of two Nascent Soul monsters.
However, this scenario limitation is too absurd.
In the company, is it like Bully at Home on their own people, and only works on their own team?
Moreover, she's nineteen years old.
Lu Ping sighed softly and chose not to change it.
[You choose not to change.]
[When you wake up, three days have passed, and the cave abode's Restriction are still faintly glowing.]
[You check your own status.]
[The Spirit Refining Technique is indeed powerful.]
[The depletion of his Sea of Consciousness caused by overdrawing his power to refine the Hundred-Blade Rings has As-If-First recovered in just three days.]
You look around at the place you've lived in for almost a year.
Please pack away all your personal belongings.
[Then, you used the As-If-Original Seal to erase your own traces.]
[You pushed open the Stone Gate of the cave abode and went to Weizhao Peak.]
Ye Zhi is in the courtyard, assembling the joints of a Mechanism Beast.
[When he saw you walk in, he glanced at you and stopped moving.]
You give him a mysterious and unfathomable feeling.
[When you first met, you were merely a Golden Core capable of killing Nascent Soul.]
[But at this moment, the faint fluctuations of Divine Sense emanating from you gave him the illusion that he was facing Nascent Soul of the same level.]
After a moment, Ye Zhi spoke, his voice filled with solemnity.
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Lu, on another step forward on your path to immortality."
[Options pop up.]
[A: It is said that one has encountered a bottleneck in spiritual practice and needs to travel and seek fortuitous opportunities.]
[B: Tell Ye Zhi that you wish to resign from your position as Guest Elder of the Thousand Mechanisms Sect.]
[C: Submit the "Application Form for Paid Leave for Guest Elder the Thousand Mechanisms Sect," requesting reimbursement for travel expenses to Teleportation Array.]
Lu Ping looked at Little A and Little B, and hesitated for a moment.
Let's preserve the Thousand Mechanisms Sect's connections for now.
Ye Zhi is actually a pretty good person.
Lu Ping chose A.
[You chose A.]
[You realize that your Law Treasure is just beginning to take shape, and you're getting a little carried away.]
[Quickly suppress your aura, then bow to Ye Zhi.]
"Senior Brother Ye, I feel like I've recently hit a bottleneck in my cultivation."
"I want to travel and see if I can find any fortuitous opportunities."
Ye Zhi withdrew his gaze and did not ask any further questions.
[The Thousand Mechanisms Sect has no strict rules regarding its Guest Elders.]
"Be careful when you're out and about."
[After leaving some of the Pills you refined for Ye Zhi, you bid farewell to Ye Zhi and left the Thousand Mechanisms Sect Mountain Gate.]
[You went directly to the Yi Wood City Teleportation Plaza.]
[After paying a hefty teleportation fee, the Array Patterns lit up.]
[Yi Wood City.]
[Qingyang City.]
[Qingling Border Region.]
[A few days later, you returned to that familiar valley.]
[You found a secluded spot outside the valley and began to wait quietly.]
[Day 3.]
A violent surge of Spiritual Power suddenly erupted from the depths of the valley.
The battle was extremely fierce, yet also extremely short.
[You are currently at the Golden Core Stage, and you have also experienced the great battle at Demon-Severing Cliff.]
[Have you ever seen someone use their Body Integration Realm?]
You understand more than before.
The battle in the valley should have been at the Body Integration Realm.
[You are wearing the standard uniform of the Greenwood Sect Master.]
[A blue background with gold patterns, tailored to fit well, with a jade Body Integration hanging at the waist as a symbol of status.]
[You even used a Dust-Cleansing Incantation to make yourself look more otherworldly.]
[You leave your hiding place and head towards the center of the battlefield.]
[Jiang Mutian stands beside the three corpses.]
[White robes stained with blood, a sword wound on the shoulder, a palm print on the abdomen, and a small bloodstain on the neck.]
[In a way, this is the third time you've seen her.]
[From the initial amazement at their first meeting to the calculated machinations at their second.]
[But this time, you find that you can actually face her calmly.]
Jiang Mutian remains aloof and stunningly beautiful.
[Her brows and eyes were like those covered in fresh snow on a mountain peak; even stained with blood, they couldn't suppress the aloofness and nobility in her bones.]
The crimson stain on her white dress resembled a withered plum blossom in the snow.
[The injuries and the effects of the medicine did not diminish her elegance; instead, they caused a crack to appear in her coldness, revealing a poignant and broken beauty.]
[You inexplicably think of the phrase, "If only life As-If-First."]
[The thought arose, but you immediately extinguished it.]
[Salty Fish, in effect.]
[Jiang Mutian heard footsteps and turned around.]
[Workwear Thugs, in effect.]
[Friend of Women, in effect.]
Jiang Mutian's raised hand paused slightly.
The Killing Intent in her eyes faded somewhat, replaced by doubt.
[She's looking at you.]
[A Golden Core Early Stages.]
[Wearing the shabby uniform of a minor sect from the Border Region.]
[Yet they dared to swagger onto the battlefield, where a battle had just taken place during the Body Integration Realm.]
[Without further ado, you took out a Jade Bottle from your Storage Ring and handed it over with both hands.]
"Senior, this is the antidote for 'Severed-Fate Hehuan Powder'."
[The moment those words were spoken, the surrounding air immediately plummeted to freezing point.]
Jiang Mutian's eyelids twitched.
[As a powerful cultivator in the Body Integration Realm, her Divine Sense is incredibly sharp; she can see through your bone age and cultivation level at a glance.]
However, she found herself somewhat unable to see through this junior Golden Core cultivator before her.
[You not only knew what poison she had been given, but you even prepared the antidote in advance.]
Is this a setup?
[Or is it the Avatar of some old monster?]
[The Sword Qi at Jiang Mutian's fingertips did not dissipate; instead, it became even more concentrated, its murderous intent intensifying.]
[Options pop up.]
[A: He lied and said he was just passing by collecting herbs.]
[B: Use your skills to fool Ye Zhi and start your performance.]
[C: Retorted confidently, "What? Is it unreasonable for a dignified Third-Grade Alchemist like me to carry some antidote for the Hehuan Powder with me?"]
