"There's no rush."
Li Zhōujūn looked at the anxious Yīn Zhìháng and smiled. Then he examined him from head to toe and clicked his tongue in amazement. "All the meridians in your body are shattered. The person who did this to you was pretty ruthless."
When Yīn Zhìháng heard Li Zhōujūn's words, his eyes immediately reddened. He said aggrievedly, "That Yè Tiānmíng was originally just the son of a butcher, but who would have thought my younger sister would fall for him? My Yīn family was a prominent cultivation lineage in North Yong City. How could I let my sister lower herself to marry the son of a butcher?
I went to warn Yè Tiānmíng to stay away from my sister. After all, there were many scions of great lineages who liked her as well. If Yè Tiānmíng wanted to pursue my sister, those scions naturally wouldn't let him off either. But he couldn't tell good intentions from bad and cursed me for looking down on people through the bottoms of my eyes.
How could I endure that? I beat him up on the spot. But who would have thought that he would later rise to prominence and annihilate my entire Yīn family?
He even lied to my sister, saying that I had colluded with an evil cult and coveted the position of family head, while the evil cult had its eyes on our family treasure, which was why the Yīn family had perished. That position was going to be passed on to me sooner or later anyway. What was there for me to covet?!"
"He's a tragic villain." Seeing tears welling in Yīn Zhìháng's eyes, Li Zhōujūn couldn't help sighing inwardly. This kid had it too rough.
"This pill is called a Meridian Reforming Pill. It can help you condense your meridians anew." Li Zhōujūn took out a pill and handed it to Yīn Zhìháng.
"Thank you for bestowing this pill, Senior!"
Yīn Zhìháng raised both hands high and devoutly accepted the pill Li Zhōujūn had given him.
At the same time, Li Zhōujūn tapped Yīn Zhìháng between the brows with one finger, imprinting a cultivation art called the Sunflower True Scripture into his mind.
This cultivation art was something Li Zhōujūn had found by chance while he was soaking in the Dao Tian Sect's Scripture Pavilion back when he couldn't cultivate. It was an exceptionally powerful cultivation art, and, just like the Sunflower Manual from his previous life, it required castration to cultivate.
"To practice this art, one must first castrate oneself. As the saying goes, when the old man lost his horse, who knew it wasn't a blessing in disguise? Young man, this seat is rather curious to see how far you can go in the future." Li Zhōujūn chuckled.
Yīn Zhìháng visualized the cultivation art in his mind and felt that it was an exceedingly powerful technique tailor-made for him.
As for the matter of his manhood, Yīn Zhìháng no longer cared about it. As long as he could take revenge, what did this count for?
"Thank you, Senior!"
Yīn Zhìháng immediately knelt on the ground and slammed his head heavily against the ground before Li Zhōujūn.
Li Zhōujūn smiled faintly and did not stop him.
[Ding: Congratulations, host, on completing the mission of aiding a Fate Defier!] [Ding: The system is issuing the reward: 'Nascent Soul Perfection cultivation!']
"Nascent Soul Perfection cultivation. Not bad." Looking at the system's reward, Li Zhōujūn thought to himself.
Nascent Soul Realm Perfection placed one absolutely at the level of an old ancestor on the Azure Continent. Founding a sect would be entirely within one's capabilities.
Even in the Dao Tian Sect, he would be at the level of an elder.
[Ding: The system is issuing a new mission. Host, help Yīn Zhìháng take revenge! Host will receive the 'True Immortal Special Effect'!]
"Uh, system, you're going too far. You're asking me to directly go down there and fight the protagonist?" When Li Zhōujūn saw this mission from the system, he immediately fell apart.
He really didn't want to confront the Son of Heaven's Mandate head-on.
After all, these Sons of Heaven's Mandate were practically unkillable cockroaches—stinking and hard as nails.
They could jump off a cliff and stumble upon a fortuitous opportunity; even when chased by a beauty, they could still take her into their harem.
Even dying didn't necessarily mean they were truly dead. They could find a way to grow stronger and return even after being ground to dust and scattered to the winds.
[Ding: Host, don't be timid. With the system's Fifty-Fifty ability, even if the Heavenly Dao came, it could still be made Fifty-Fifty! And this True Immortal Special Effect is something one can only encounter by chance. It can completely let the host show off without leaving a trace!]
"All you know is how to make me show off all day..."
Li Zhōujūn's lips twitched.
To be saddled with such a system was truly a love-hate affair. After all, he was a refined and easygoing person. What was the point of having him go around showing off all day?
"I suddenly changed my mind. I plan to help you take revenge." Li Zhōujūn looked at Yīn Zhìháng, who was kneeling on the ground, and smiled.
Yīn Zhìháng was overjoyed when he heard this. "Thank you, Senior!"
As he spoke, Yīn Zhìháng bowed to Li Zhōujūn again.
Suddenly, Yīn Zhìháng felt that something was wrong. After all, he was merely a tiny ant. Why would a powerful expert be willing to help him take revenge for no reason?
Was it simply because the expert liked the look of him?
That reason was far too forced.
Could it be that this Senior had some ulterior motive toward him?
But he was penniless and had nothing. What could this Senior want?
Could it be... that this Senior had a preference for men, and he happened to...
At this thought, Yīn Zhìháng felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help clenching the area around his back garden.
When he looked at Li Zhōujūn again, he saw only a refined young man whose smile was as refreshing as a spring breeze, with a gigantic wolf's shadow behind him, grinning maliciously at him.
But when he thought of how his great revenge was about to be achieved, Yīn Zhìháng gritted his teeth. What did this little suffering count for compared to revenge?
"Senior, if you want to do something to me, then go ahead. I won't resist." Yīn Zhìháng lay directly on the ground, assuming the posture of someone waiting to be slaughtered.
Li Zhōujūn: "???"
"What are you thinking? I'm not that kind of person you're imagining. Get up!"
Li Zhōujūn suddenly realized what was going on. This brat thought he was helping him because he wanted that from him?
The thought made Li Zhōujūn both angry and amused.
"Huh?"
Seeing that he had misunderstood, Yīn Zhìháng stood awkwardly from the ground and rubbed his nose, saying unnaturally, "But this junior truly doesn't understand. What else could this junior possibly possess that would be worthy of Senior's regard?"
Li Zhōujūn said speechlessly, "I helped you simply because I followed my heart. If you truly want to repay me, cultivate properly and work for me in the future."
"This junior understands!"
Yīn Zhìháng said solemnly.
He had heard before that the great cultivators who roamed the mortal world would draw their swords to aid those who encountered injustice, seeking to let the Great Dao in their hearts flow freely.
Who would have thought that he would meet such a great cultivator today, one who roamed the mortal world?
"Tell me about Yè Tiānmíng's circumstances in detail." Li Zhōujūn asked him then.
"All right." Yīn Zhìháng began slowly, "Yè Tiānmíng was originally an ordinary mortal. For some reason, he suddenly gained Qi Refining cultivation.
But my younger sister had already become Elder Zhao Hui of the Kaishan Sect's disciple and was cultivating in the Kaishan Sect, with boundless prospects ahead of her. Naturally, my Yīn family couldn't possibly let Yè Tiānmíng be with my sister either. So my father invited Yè Tiānmíng to the Yīn family, intending to give him some cultivation resources and make him stay away from my sister.
Who would have thought that Yè Tiānmíng would be unmoved by soft or hard words, stubbornly insisting that he would marry no one but my sister? My father flew into a rage and wanted to kill Yè Tiānmíng outright. Who could have expected Yè Tiānmíng to erupt with Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivation and slaughter my entire Yīn family? My father, the head of the Yīn family, had only just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. How could he possibly have been Yè Tiānmíng's opponent?
And so, my entire Yīn family was wiped out by him. He even deliberately spared my life so that I would live on in agony.
He also spread rumors that I had invited the wolf into the house and caused the Yīn family to be annihilated.
It wasn't until some time ago that I learned he had already joined the Kaishan Sect, backed by a Golden Core expert, and was together with my younger sister. My heart turned to ashes, and that was when I decided to jump off a cliff and end my life..."
