After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Chapter 133

Lin Feng had just run away, and chasing him now was pointless.

It was to deal with such situations that he insisted on making Lin Feng join the Jiuyan Sect.

This was called being prepared!

Jiang Chen decided to let this Son of Destiny run for a while, and when he settled down somewhere, he would go and capture him.

Next, he prepared to go into seclusion.

Although his combat strength was strong now, his cultivation was only at the mid-stage of Human Origin.

This time in seclusion, he had decided that he would not emerge until he made a breakthrough!

After learning that Jiang Chen was going into seclusion, Jiang Lianyue and Qingning also chose to go into seclusion.

Once sure that no one would harm her big disciple in the short term, Xiao Hongyi began to study the Way of the Pill and rarely went out.

Only Zhang Hu was constantly going out, searching for poisonous materials for Xiao Hongyi to use in her pill refining.

Every time he returned, he was poisoned.

……

Time flew like a shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, several months had passed.

Jiang Chen opened his eyes and clicked his tongue.

He had failed his goal!

Several months of seclusion and his cultivation had not advanced in the slightest.

Having been reincarnated nine times, although suppressed by the heavens, his cultivation had once reached the Heavenly Origin realm before he was expelled from the sect.

But now, at the early stage of Human Origin, he already felt the suppression!

Without a doubt, it must be that the heavens sensed the collapse of the plot and the “weakness” of Lin Feng, the Son of Destiny, so they strengthened the suppression on him, trying by all means to turn him into a stepping stone for Lin Feng!

“System, give me some strength! The heavens are underestimating you!” Jiang Chen muttered helplessly.

Of course, the system’s silence was the only response he got.

To this, Jiang Chen was accustomed.

After all, it had never spoken to him since he obtained the system.

He got up and left the pavilion, stretching lazily in the open space outside.

In front of the pavilion was a grove of towering ancient trees, occasionally inhabited by the figures of spiritual birds.

Today was no different. The spiritual birds played, shuttling through the ancient forest, chirping non-stop.

Having achieved nothing after months of seclusion, Jiang Chen was already irritated, so he picked up a piece of broken stone and threw it casually at one of the colorful-feathered spiritual birds that were foraging on a branch.

“Chirp!”

Although he missed, the stone startled the bird, causing it to let out a sharp cry.

“Haha,” Jiang Chen laughed, feeling refreshed.

Everyone in the Jiuyan Sect was crazy, and bullying spiritual birds was also a kind of fun.

But after the laughter, he felt… An unprecedented emptiness…

He, a mighty villain, had stooped to bullying birds!

“Sigh.”

Jiang Chen shook his head and sighed, preparing to quickly go find Lin Feng.

Otherwise, his villain persona might collapse if this continued! But just as he turned around.

【Host’s actions conform to the villain’s character setting, reward: Epiphany Critical Hit!】

“This works too?”

Jiang Chen was astonished.

Bullying birds also fits the villain’s persona?

He wanted to ask the system if there was some misunderstanding about his persona.

After a brief shock, Jiang Chen quickly realized.

This must be an unruly and uncontrollable system!

Surely the system also sensed that it was being underestimated by the heavens, which is why it triggered the reward so easily this time.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Jiang Chen stood still, immersed in epiphany.

The next second, Xiao Hongyi descended from the sky while holding a pill cauldron.

Although she was refining pills, she still spared a trace of her spiritual sense to ‘protect’ Jiang Chen at all times.

Seeing Jiang Chen lost in epiphany and unaware of his surroundings, she naturally hurried over.

With nothing else to do, she placed the pill cauldron on the ground, multitasking as she shouted towards the ancient forest, “Zhang Hu, where’s the hundred-year-old vine?”

“Coming!”

Zhang Hu’s voice indeed rang out.

He rushed out of the ancient forest, his left hand covering his head, his right hand holding a black-gray withered vine.

After receiving the vine and throwing it into the pill cauldron, Xiao Hongyi flicked her delicate fingers, and a phoenix fire emerged from her fingertips, igniting the contents of the cauldron.

Soon, the phoenix fire extinguished, and several blackish-gray pills flew out, landing in the palm of her hand.

“Peak Master’s talent in pill cultivation is truly beyond my reach!”

Zhang Hu said with admiration on his face. “This Dry Bone Pill is a sixth-grade pill, and yet you’ve managed to refine it in just a few months! Looking at its quality, it’s superior! Peak Master, you’ve become a sixth-grade pill refiner!”

“Don’t make a fuss over nothing.” Xiao Hongyi put away the pills with an expressionless face.

The phoenix fire is an innate fire of the highest quality, reaching the ninth grade.

Using the phoenix fire for pill refining after observing those secret pill scriptures at the Ancient Pill Tower in nine cycles of reincarnation naturally allowed Xiao Hongyi to advance by leaps and bounds.

With a flick of her sleeve, the pill cauldron vanished into thin air.

After glancing at Zhang Hu, she asked in puzzlement, “What happened to your head?”

Mentioning this made Zhang Hu furious.

Century-old vines are often used by spiritual birds to build nests, and he had just managed to climb an ancient tree. But as soon as he got hold of the vine, a stone suddenly flew towards him and hit him on the head!

Blood gushed out instantly!

If he hadn’t quickly stabilized himself with his vital energy in a moment of urgency, he might have fallen from the tree!

After telling Xiao Hongyi about this, Zhang Hu indignantly said, “That person has no public morals! Throwing stones around carelessly and even using their cultivation! Peak Master, you must stand up for me!”

Xiao Hongyi glanced at Jiang Chen and immediately identified the culprit.

After all, she had been using her divine sense to protect Jiang Chen and was well aware of his every move!

Zhang Hu hadn’t considered Jiang Chen because the ancient forest was dense and vast, and it was common for male and female disciples of the Ninth Peak to enter in pairs, indulging in each other’s company.

Of course, Xiao Hongyi wouldn’t mention this to Zhang Hu.

In her view, Zhang Hu deserved to be hit by Jiang Chen’s stone!

Why did Zhang Hu have to climb the tree that Jiang Chen was throwing stones at?

Moreover, couldn’t he have avoided the stone just the same if Zhang Hu had a smaller head?

If one were to really investigate, it would also be Zhang Hu’s parents’ fault!

‘Yes, that’s it.’

Xiao Hongyi nodded to herself, feeling that her reasoning was sound.

Seeing Zhang Hu still standing there with a wronged expression, she tossed him a jade slip and said, “This is a high-grade movement technique. Learn it quickly!”

“A high-grade movement technique?!”

Zhang Hu was shocked after he got the jade slip!

Such a level of movement technique, even for true disciples, would require a lot of merit points to exchange!

It was not in vain that he had been poisoned several times recently while searching for poisons for Xiao Hongyi.

He was indeed on the rise!

“Peak Master, with your support, I will serve you with even greater dedication and share your burdens!” Zhang Hu’s eyes brimmed with tears, deeply moved.

“Very good!”

Xiao Hongyi nodded in satisfaction, and the freshly refined Dry Bone Pill reappeared in her hand.

She placed the pill in Zhang Hu’s hand and said unequivocally, “The Great Elder of the Ancient Pill Tower’s first disciple is named Xiao Shan. Don’t misunderstand, although he shares my surname, I have no relation to him! Go to the Ancient Pill Tower and find a way to poison this person for me!”

“Ah?”

Zhang Hu was stunned.

To poison the first true disciple of the Ancient Pill Tower? And the target was a pill refiner?

The difficulty of this task was too great!

He didn’t even know this person!

At this moment, he finally understood.

No wonder Xiao Hongyi had given him so many good things recently, including this high-grade movement technique.

All these items were not rewards but meant to increase his chances of successfully poisoning someone!

In short, he had become a tool for poisoning.

“Peak Master, can I not go?” Zhang Hu asked with a downcast face.

“You can,” Xiao Hongyi nodded agreeably, “then you can just take this pill and test the poison on yourself.”

At these words, Zhang Hu turned pale with fright.

“Peak Master, to be honest, I have a deep-seated hatred with that Xiao Shan!” he said earnestly.

At the same time, a surge of energy burst forth from Jiang Chen’s body, leaving Zhang Hu in disarray.

Feeling the robust and majestic energy, he exclaimed, “Earthly Origin realm! Eldest Senior Brother has had an epiphany and has directly reached the Earthly Origin realm!”
