The Strongest God System 3
Chapter 189: Taking the Test

Day Night

"If Life according to a True Cultivator is power, longevity and immortality, power, laws and rules. What does Life mean to Mortal?"

Lin Chen was sitting on the floor of the front porch; both of his feet were touching the barren dry ground. "Why can't I remember it? If only I had his memory, I could break through the Realm God easily."

"Yin'er doesn't know how either, and I can't ask the others, because all this time I've only ever entered the Realm God Realm!"

Lin Chen felt longed for Black and White, even though he had already taken their memories, he felt that there were memories that were deliberately discarded and made him have to think for himself, he said, every path of life has its own answer.

Tuk, tuk, yuk... Tuk, tuk, yuk...

Lin Chen could hear the sound of a quick knock like a rushed person, but it was not a knock on the door, but rather a knock coming from within the well.

"Yi'er, please help me finish him."

Xue Ying who was repairing the wall, turned to look at Lin Chen who was sitting on the porch of the stage house. "Good, Brother."

Xue Ying knew the power his elder brother had sealed, but it should be able to destroy half the city with just a foot. So, killing the evil creatures hiding in the well should be very easy.

Still asking for his help? Xue Ying was inexhaustible by the decision of his elder brother who tried to live like a Mortal to the point of sealing all the power.

After all, for a Cultivator who craved strength so much, strength was life, if the cultivation base was sealed or even disappeared, it was not much different from death.

Boom up!

The well cover made of wood and stone was thrown into the sky when there was an explosion inside; the wind blew fiercely with the temperature starting to fall like a cold snowstorm; a terrifying aura that shook the soul also began to feel.

Black smoke began to appear out from within the well, giving off a murderous aura that was enough to make ordinary humans lose their minds; its sinister form also added to its effects. It was shaped like a bending ball and on each side had eyes, there were probably dozens of glowing red eyes.

Whoooooooshes! Whoooooooshes! Whoooooooshes!

The ball changed shape and unleashed an attack that formed like an iron pipe in all directions, hitting the ground and leaving a deep enough mark.

Lin Chen who saw him just silently looked at him, there was interest in his eyes when he saw the creature that kept releasing attacks. "There are thirty eyes and each eye represents one life, is he from the Demon Race?"

One of the attacks led to Lin Chen sitting down sipping a cup of warm coffee.

Lin Chen did not move at all, only quietly as the attack pointed at him.

"Master!" The Kuxing Goddess stood in front of Lin Chen, catching the darting attack.

The Kuxing Goddess tightly gripped the attack and drained her power. It was seen that the black part of the strange creature began to emit a white light, sending the power of the Goddess Kuxing who continued to move until it hit her.

"Kraahhkk!" The strange creature let out a loud scream feeling the pain that resulted in one of its eyes exploding.

Xue Ying had already captured all the attacks, but did not drain his strength as it was still observing what creatures were hiding within this well. "Absorbing the Life Essence of the humans living here, eating the aura of the earth and sky, as well as resulting in anyone living here having bad luck."

"If left for too long, everyone in Fanren City will suffer a calamity," Xue Ying—ia continued, looking back to her right at Lin Chen who was still sitting quietly. "Sister, it looks like this creature is named Yegui, and not only is it in Fanren City, but in other cities there is, even more powerful."

"Yegui?" Lin Chen frowned; it was a very strange name, it could even be said it was not a name, as it had the meaning of Wild Ghost.

Yan Xue walked out of the house, carrying a tray on which were four bowls of noodles. "Gege, please eat."

"Thank you, dear." Lin Chen received the bowl given by Yan Xue; he immediately ate it quietly without thinking of Yegui who was thrashing trying to escape Xue Ying's grasp. "Is there any other information?"

Xue Ying was silent for a moment as he stared intently at Yegui's spy for information. "Yegui was propagated to take the Essence of Life in order to have sufficient strength to awaken ... The king?"

Xue Ying confused the intent of the 'King' here, because the information from Yegui was not so clear.

"Kill it if no information is obtained" said Lin Chen.

Xue Ying nodded his head; he pulled out all the pipe-shaped attacks from Yegui he had already caught; yegui moved quickly due to the pull of his hand, then he clenched a second, then he clenched a second, there was a silhouette of green hands that gripped Yegui until it was destroyed.

Waves of air spread in all directions, causing dust to fly until it blocked the view.

Goddess Kuxing released her energy to create a protective barrier that serves to keep dust from falling into the bowl.

Lin Chen continued to eat quietly; not thinking of the dust flying in the wind.

The killed Yegui brought about a change to the Lin Residence: the bone-chilling cold aura began to dissipate significantly; the barren land also underwent a change, as well, the cracks in the ground began to close and the color was no longer brownish yellow; the dry trees in the courtyard also began to improve and there were leaves growing.

The residence that a few hours before looked unkempt and creepy, was now like a noble residence, even the spiritual aura here was very dense and pure.

But to Lin Chen who was living like a Mortal, the spiritual aura in the Lin Residence didn't mean much.

Lin Chen opened the Inventory System, took out a Jade Bottle containing 9 Color Heavenly Water and directly poured it into the ground or trees. Instantly also the grass started to grow and the dried tree continued to improve within, even the leaves had filled the tree branches.

"Sister, didn't Big Brother say he wouldn't use force. How can Big Brother take the Heavenly Water?" tanya Xue Ying approached—coming to pick up a bowl of noodles and sit next to Goddess Kuxing.

Lin Chen let out a long sigh, not expecting that Xue Ying did not know of such a simple thing. "The artifact embedded in my soul, you should know, it used no power at all." He could not directly say System, as there was Yan Xue and the Kuxing Goddess.

"Aah!" Xue Ying flinched after recalling about her who was the System. He forgot about it because his brother's strength was so high—so the System looks useless, only used to buy materials and train others.

"Tomorrow the day after tomorrow the shop will open, and tomorrow I will have to go to the Medicine Pavilion to get permission." Lin Chen placed the empty bowl on his left side, then laid back with both hands crossed behind his head.

"You two stand guard here." Lin Chen planned to go with Yan Xue, and let both Xue Ying and the Kuxing Goddess stand guard at the Lin Residence.

The two nodded simultaneously; accepting it without any rejection to Lin Chen's decision.

***

The news of the Gui Residence being bought by newcomers was already widespread; many were curious about the new owner of the Gui Residence and wanted to see it, despite seeing it from afar for not daring to get too close.

But after seeing the many leaves that filled the streets in front of the Gui Residence or that had now changed its name to Lin, people were very curious and finally started to approach. How surprised they were when they saw the tree that was previously dry, had now grown thick.

"How could the Gui Residence turn out to be like this? They haven't even lived one day, but they've brought significant changes to the Gui Residence." The middle-aged woman spoke while covering her mouth with a hand fan.

"There is only one answer, the owner of this house is an Immortal!" One of them answered the curiosity of the middle-aged woman.

Share the lightning striking, this is very shocking news if there really is an Immortal staying in Fanren City.

At that very moment, everyone's attention was distracted by the two houses opposite the Gui Residence, the residence was empty for a dozen years because its inhabitants feared being disturbed, including two other residences flanking the Gui Residence.

Qin Sanzhong said there was only one empty residence on the main street, although there were actually five empty residences. Lin Chen knew that, but did not think too much about it, after all the Gui Residence was the largest residence and he got it for a cheap price.

Kreeks... _. door open sound.

Lin Chen and Yan Xue walked out of the Lin Residence; wearing a sky blue male hanfu and Yan Xue wearing a pink hanfu that was getting darker and there was a floral pattern.

Yan Xue clasped Lin Chen's left hand. "Gege, there's a lot of people looking at us."

Lin Chen kissed Yan Xue's head. "Let it go, now let's go, I don't want to get bad."

Xue Ying nodded his head, then walked in the same step so as not to fall behind or go ahead.

The talk resumed quietly as it looked at Lin Chen and Yan Xue who were coming out of the Lin Residence; seeing from the appearance of the two, they were very confident that the new owner of the Lin Residence was an Immortal!

What was clearly visible from the appearance was in terms of height, Lin Chen had a height of 225 cm and Yan Xue was 187 cm tall. Unlike the residents in Fanren City, the average height of the locals is 175 cm.

But just from the height did not mean Immortal, adding to their confidence all was the fact that Lin Chen was still alive despite living in the Lin Residence.

Without wasting any time, everyone started going to the Property Office to purchase the remaining residence beside the Lin Residence; they wanted to stay around the Immortal, who knew bringing their own luck.

*15 Minutes Later

Lin Chen and Yan Xue had already arrived in front of the brown-colored nine-story building, and there were some red-colored parts of the wood in a second.

"Drug Pavilion." Lin Chen climbed up the stone stairs, entering the Medicine Pavilion together with Yan Xue.

It was quite difficult for them to arrive at the Medicine Pavilion, as they became the center of attention and stirred up a crowd that was curious about the owner of the Lin Residence.

Lin Chen immediately went to the reception desk which was guarded by a young lady wearing a red Cheongsam, standing behind the table.

"Welcome, can anyone help?" ask receptionist—ia looks a little difficult to talk to Lin Chen, because the height is only 155 cm, different 70 cm.

"I just bought the Gui Residence and plan to open a herb shop, according to the gatekeeper, I need to get permission here if I want to open it."

The receptionist woman gasped when she heard him, not expecting that the person who was being warm-hearted would come to the Medicine Pavilion. He walked out of the reception desk and said, "Please follow me, I'll take you both to take the test."

The receptionist woman has been given a message by the Manager, if the new owner of the Gui Residence comes, then serve well and do not let the wait long.

To take the test yourself usually have to make an appointment, and the test will be carried out a week after meeting with the person giving the test, then the results will come out three days after the test is taken.

Lin Chen was taken to a special room on the fourth floor and stopped in front of the room with the red twin doors.

Tuk... Tuk... Tuk... _. knocking sound of the door.

"Lake in." There was a reply from within the room that sounded heavy and slightly hoarse, like the voice of an old man.

The door opened slowly, looking like an old man wearing white clothes, his hair and beard were quite long and white. The old man was checking the books neatly arranged on the bookshelf, and on the other side of the room many herbs were quite valuable.

Lin Chen cupped both hands with the intention of greeting. Even he had to make this kind of greeting just to understand the meaning of Life from Mortal. "My name is Lin Chen, I came here to take a test and get permission to open a shop in the Gui Residence."

The old man named Lao Mingxan closed the book and put it back in its place. "Open a drug store? Lin Chen's? Uh! I heard it from the gatekeeper if you'd come here."

Lao Mingxan had indeed been waiting for Lin Chen's arrival, but not because of the words of the gatekeeper, but rather because of curiosity towards the new owner of the Gui Residence.

"This test is very easy, usually you have to answer questions, such as the name and usefulness of the herbs in the picture. But since I haven't prepared it yet, then directly start from the second test ..." Lao Mingxan walked to the other side of the room, approaching the cupboard containing herbs and spices.

"You must answer correctly all the herbs here, but not in their whole form, but in their powdered form."

Lin Chen nodded his head, walking towards the table that was in the middle of the room. On the table were several small bowls of different-colored powders.

Lin Chen raised one of the bowls. "Ginseng or renshen, potent to cure various human diseases, restore qi (vital energy), and warm the body ..."

"Walnut or hetao, can sharpen the mind and improve concentration and memory. Cinnamon, is great for warming the body, promoting blood circulation, and harmonizing the upper and lower body energy ..."

"Jahe, very good for digestive health, neutralize toxins in food, to nourish the lungs and blood circulation throughout the limbs..."

Lin Chen continued to explain all the powder that was on the table without even a single wrong; everything he answered correctly and only needed once alive to be able to get an answer.

Lotus seed, hawthorn berry, goji berry, jujube, licorice root, orange peel, green bean and others. The total powder that Lin Chen managed to answer was 100 out of 100.

Lao Mingxan was speechless; he had never found anyone capable of answering everything in less than half an hour and everything was perfect.
