Eighty-One Flavored Rehmannia Pill

In Li Ang's view, the best way to change the plot was still to find a way to kill the protagonist.

Since simple, brutal methods like acting directly or hiring someone to commit murder would not work, he could be more tactful—play the role of an old grandpa who handed out fortuitous encounters and give some warmth to a disposable supporting character.

That did not count as Li violating the rules. After all, Li Ang had not directly changed the plot; he had merely given Xiao Chenyu a fortuitous encounter. Even the system could not find fault with that.

There were actually many uncertainties in doing this, because Li Ang could not be sure whether Xiao Chenyu would use the Demonic Dismemberment Technique in his duel against Tang San.

So Li Ang had only been thinking of giving it a try.

To his surprise, things progressed even more smoothly than he had expected. Xiao Chenyu really did use the Demonic Dismemberment Technique during the duel and severely wounded Tang San.

The only imperfection was that Tang San had taken a blow equivalent to one from a Five Ring Soul King and had not immediately croaked!

Under normal circumstances, a full-force strike from a Five Ring Soul King should have had no trouble killing a One Ring Soul Master with only level eleven Soul Power.

But Xiao Chenyu's opponent was Tang San. As the protagonist of Douluo Dalu, the luck-blessed child favored by heaven and earth, escaping danger and turning misfortune into fortune was standard procedure for him.

To say nothing else, Tang San's vitality was truly tenacious. Xiao Chenyu had beaten him into such a miserable state, yet he had not died on the spot.

That was precisely why the plot-rewrite progress was still only 1.1%. If Tang San had truly gone GG, the plot of Douluo Dalu should have completely collapsed.

Of course, Li Ang had not expected to settle Tang San in one go. Honestly, being able to use Xiao Chenyu to severely wound Tang San and alter the original plot to some extent had already left Li Ang overjoyed.

This showed that Li Ang's previous line of thinking had been entirely correct. Strengthening the villains from the original story and having them deliver crushing blows to the protagonist's group—this was the proper way to use the system.

Ignoring the crowd at the scene, who had already fallen into chaos, Li Ang took one last look at the unconscious Tang San. Then he deactivated his Sixth Soul Skill and recalled the two clones he had stationed at Notting City's Primary Soul Master Academy.

Although the current situation looked like an excellent chance to finish Tang San off for good, Li Ang still restrained his restless urge.

After all, stirring things up from behind the scenes was the choice most beneficial to Li Ang.

Besides, after this test, Li Ang discovered that Tang San's Protagonist Halo was no joke.

Li Ang suspected that even if he disregarded everything and went in for the finishing blow now, he would likely still fail. He might even get himself killed in the process.

Under the influence of the protagonist's luck, perhaps the moment Li Ang jumped out, Tang Hao would crawl out of the bushes nearby...

After imagining the possible scene, Li Ang decided it was better to be cautious. There was no rush to stir things up; he should take the long view.

After recalling his two clones, Li Ang, who had been leisurely enjoying the service of maids in the Xiao Clan's mansion, opened his eyes.

"Cough, cough. You lot, leave first. This old one needs to cultivate for a while. Without my permission, no one is allowed to enter!" Li Ang said solemnly as he casually pushed the two maids from his lap.

The several maids in the room were all bewildered, having no idea what had gotten into this lord.

They knew that Li Ang was a powerful Soul Master, but ever since he had moved into the Xiao Clan's mansion, none of them had ever seen him cultivate.

All day long, he either dragged the maids into playing games or had them perform their talents. He was a complete old lecher.

Of course, bewildered as they were, the maids did not dare disobey Li Ang's orders. At his words, they hurriedly left the room.

Once he saw that he was the only one left in the room, excitement could not help but appear on Li Ang's usually composed old face.

Why had he traveled all the way to a backwater like Notting City, lowering the quality of his daily life by several levels?

Was it not all to save his two overworked kidneys?!

Now that he had finally accumulated enough points, how could Li Ang not be excited?

Excitedly opening the System Shop, Li Ang quickly found the item he had long wanted to exchange for.

Item: Eighty-One Flavored Rehmannia Pill (treats kidney deficiency, sugar-free)

Exchange Price: 1000 Points

Although this Eighty-One Flavored Rehmannia Pill looked rather unreliable,

Li Ang had spotted it at first glance among the System Shop's countless heavenly treasures.

The reason was simple: this Eighty-One Flavored Rehmannia Pill was genuinely effective. After taking it, not only could it treat kidney deficiency and grant Li Ang a pair of healthy kidneys, it could also prolong his life.

Most importantly, after taking it, Li Ang could regain his youth.

After all, what Li Ang lacked now was not merely healthy kidneys. Although Titled Douluo in Douluo Dalu normally lived much longer than ordinary people,

under normal circumstances, they only lived for around a hundred years.

At ninety-nine years old, Li Ang truly did not have many days left to live. At most, after a few more decades, he would croak.

In the past, Li Ang could have accepted that. He had enjoyed everything there was to enjoy in this life, so even if he croaked, it would have been worth it.

But now that the system had come online, Li Ang was ten thousand times unwilling to just croak like that.

Therefore, after obtaining the system, the first thing Li Ang did was search the System Shop for treasures that could prolong his life. Of course, it would be even better if they could also cure his two overworked kidneys.

And as it turned out, Li Ang really did find one.

The Eighty-One Flavored Rehmannia Pill perfectly met all of Li Ang's needs. Its only flaw was that it was somewhat expensive, requiring 1000 points.

But at this moment, Li Ang opened the System Shop without the slightest hesitation, spent 1000 points, and exchanged for it.

As a flash of white light passed by, Li Ang's points in the system instantly decreased by 1000. At the same time, a pitch-black pill the size of a longan appeared in his hand.

Judging by its appearance, this thing honestly looked terrible. It came without any special effects.

Forget about immortal aura, falling blossoms, or golden lotuses blooming from the earth—it did not even smell fragrant. It looked utterly ordinary.
