The Eternal System
System 13: Searching for Pill Ingredients
A day had passed since Lian Ping's arrival to Li Chen's house. Posters, even rumors had spread about his match against Lian Ping which was still 29 days away.
He who was walking in the middle of the city heard the rumors and the glare pointed sharply at him. How not? Just getting the news of his strength back, there was now news that he was going to fight against Lian Ping.
People did not view Li Chen as a brave fighter or swordsman, but rather as arrogant and arrogant.
“See that, he's the young master of the Li” family
“Cih, just got his ability back. Now he intended to show it off by challenging the young master of the Lian” family
Li Chen who heard the bullshit-filled gossip tried to ignore it.
“(Hah... getting the power back is not the same as I thought. I think the world will indeed look at you always wrong if it does not give a good impression at the beginning)”
He walked alone out of Feng City and reached a dense forest. His footsteps did not stop and continued to enter the forest. The birds that were chirping and also the cool breeze from how green the variety of plants that existed really made Li Chen's head contents feel calm just by breathing fresh air.
“Haah. Not many people, just nature and also a breath of fresh breeze”
Shortly after, his footsteps stopped. He was silent in the middle of the forest and was confronted by his system that appeared right before his eyes.
Ting!
[Mission of Choice ]
[Combining cultivation pill training ]
[Find the green lotus flowers - used to live in the middle of the forest and near the waters of rivers or lakes ]
[Mission completion reward: status points and cultivation pill compounding furnace ]
After reading the mission, Li Chen became reminded of the original purpose he had come to in the middle of the forest.
“Although this system helps a lot in training the body and also the cultivation level, but I can't let my guard down. Lian Ping would definitely want to do everything possible to win from me, and of course by using cultivation” pills
“If I want to win from him, I should at least raise my level. Without any mystical beasts near Feng city, all I could rely on was absorbing the natural energy in the open freely like this, and concocting cultivation” pills
Li Chen understood the situation that could not be said to be comfortable with the help of that system. He walked according to the system's guidelines, which said the green lotus flowers were near the water.
The deeper he walked into the forest, the more sound came from the rushing water flowing far in front of him.
Zraassh
The sound grew louder as he walked. His fairly calm footsteps grew even faster as if he could not wait to find the green lotus flower.
“That water sound is getting clearer..”.
From the walking position turned into running, Li Chen who came out from the side of the forest also reached the midpoint of the forest. He was greeted by the view of a lake that was so big and beautiful will be clear color that can give the same reflection as a mirror.
“Wah... I never thought in the middle of this forest there is a lake that is so beautiful”
Not only is the clear lake water worth admiring, but the other forest animals that look very happy are on the lake shore calmly.
And when Li Chen was looking at the scene, his two eyes suddenly stopped when he saw the green lotus flower that was right in the middle of the lake.
“Green lotus flowers!”
“But, he was right in the middle of that lake. What do I have to do to get it?”
Li Chen turned his head left and right to look for a way to obtain that green lotus flower. However, there was not a single boat or thing that he could use to pick up the flowers that were in the middle of the vastness of the lake.
His eyes closed and both hands folded in front of his chest. How long Li Chen who was thinking of a way, suddenly opened his eyes so wide.
“Ah, I know...”.
He took a few steps back for a moment. And before long, he ran and jumped high up in the air.
Wush!!
His right hand was pulled back and gathered a certain amount of Ki energy inside. He clenched his hand tightly and swung down near the shore of the lake.
“Judges of the earth!”
Duaarr!
The powerful blast from the blow made the water, which had previously looked very deep and full, appear to have had its own pits dry as a result of the attack.
It was not that Li Chen missed, but indeed it was his initial goal. Normally, a water will follow the shape of the existing container. And the container of the lake is the deep ground of the lake from the surrounding surface.
By hitting the center of the water strongly, another water will come to cover the hole that has not been filled. The previously calm water became fast moving.
Zraasshhh
And as per Li Chen's estimation, the green Lotus flower floating above the surface of the water walked following the direction of the water below. When he reached nearby, Li Chen landed and picked up the flower.
“Can!”
Zraass!
The rushing water was starting to want to drown him. Li Chen who had obtained what he was willing to immediately jumped back so as not to be carried away by the strong currents of the lake water.
“Hehe, if taking a lotus flower stuck in the middle of the lake alone can not, then I do not deserve the position of director in my previous life” said Li Chen who prides himself
After obtaining the green lotus flower, Li Chen's system reappeared and gave a notification of the previous mission.
Ting!
[ Mission of choice ]
[Combining cultivation pill training ]
[Find green lotus flowers - finish ]
[You get : status points and the cultivation pill concocting furnace ]
[The items can be entered into a special bag ]
“Core compounding materials and compounding places have been obtained. Now, we just have to try the process to concoct this cultivation pill”
Li Chen turned around and intended to walk away from the location of the lake. However, suddenly there was a voice that echoed in one forest as if it was calling itself.
“Who dares to come to my forest and call an item that does not belong to them?!”
Li Chen's footsteps came to a halt when he heard the voice. He looked left and right and got nothing but a normal view of nature.
“Whose voice is it?!”
Dumm!!
Soon, one of the woods felt like an earthquake. The sound of the vibration was so powerful, and even followed by the sound of rushing water behind.
“U-uwa! W-what is this suddenly?! Why did an earthquake happen?!
Li Chen who was confused turned back. There, the lake that previously looked spacious and calm swimming changed its shape like a mountain of water.
And from its growing shape over time, it suddenly turned full-fledged into a water snake lizard that had two hands on its body.
His so large body was fused together and even made of water, like a spirit beast. His gaze back then did not look so friendly, and even stared intently at Li Chen who was picking up the green lotus flower.
“Man...”.
Li Chen who saw the figure of the creature was also assisted with a system panel that appeared before him.
[Name : Haishe ]
[Lake and forest guard Sheng ]
[Mystic level animals - Legend ]
“He-hey, so this is what the mystical animal is called?!”
