Chapter 28 The Unlucky Long Mingyue
Chapter 28 The Unlucky Long Mingyue
"Host, host, look, you've received a new reward!" The system immediately noticed Long Mingyue's reward.
Lin Liuyi was also curious about what kind of reward the new reader had given, "A small bottle?"
"It's a fasting pill!" The system couldn't wait and took its half first.
What? It's the legendary Bigu Pill! Lin Liuyi quickly withdrew his reward.
A small jade bottle, no bigger than the palm of her hand, appeared on her table. Lin Liuyi nervously uncorked it and poured out five round little pills.
There were no legendary red markings, but when she leaned closer to smell it, she noticed a faint herbal scent.
"Fa Cai, do you think I can eat this?" She was really curious, but also a little worried.
"Yes, host. I've tested it. The energy in the Bigu Pill is relatively low, so you can definitely afford it." The system was also happy. Although the Bigu Pill didn't contain much energy, it saw hope.
With the Bigu Pill, how could there be a shortage of other elixirs and miraculous herbs!
Lin Liuyi decided to believe the system's words. She picked up a pill and put it in her mouth. She thought it would taste bitter and astringent like Chinese medicine pills, but unexpectedly, it tasted like a light grassy fragrance, like eating a grassy candy.
At this moment, Lin Liuyi understood why everyone in cultivation novels loved to consume pills – it's like eating candy, who wouldn't be happy!
"By the way, how long does this 'Fa Cai' fasting pill last?" Lin Liuyi realized she had forgotten to ask the most important question.
"This fasting pill should last for 7 days for a cultivator, but according to my measurements, it should last for about a month after you take it!"
The system casually stated its research conclusions.
"What! Does that mean I won't be able to eat for a month?!" Lin Liuyi didn't know whether to be happy or sad. She was happy that the fasting pill could last for so long, but she was sad because she wouldn't be able to eat delicious food for a month, including her fried chicken, cola, stinky tofu, spicy strips, jianbing guozi, and youtiao!
"That's great! I haven't been eating at all!" The system didn't know what was bothering Lin Liuyi.
"We're different. I'm a living, breathing human being!"
But there was nothing she could do; she had already finished all the fasting pills.
After giving Long Mingyue the Bigu Pill as a reward, she leisurely went home. She had gotten rid of her scumbag fiancé and even obtained a secret manual that resembled a powerful person's autobiography. Today was truly her lucky day!
At that moment, she was unaware that her ex-fiancé had already held all his grudges against her.
"Long Mingyue! How dare a mere Long family look down on me! Father, you must avenge me!" Jiang Kuan lay in bed, filled with rage upon hearing the news of his engagement being broken off.
When has Jiang Kuan ever been humiliated like this? He'll remember Long Mingyue!
"Don't worry, I've already sent a message to the patriarch. How dare the little Dragon family bully my son like this? The patriarch will definitely stand up for you!" Patriarch Jiang was also indignant.
"Father, I can't wait that long. Just have someone kidnap Long Mingyue! Since she doesn't want to be my wife, then let her be a lowly concubine in the Jiang family!" Jiang Kuan said through gritted teeth.
"Kuan'er, he has humiliated you so much, how can you still think about her!" Chief Jiang was extremely disappointed in him.
"Father, I can't swallow this insult! Doesn't she despise me? I'll break her spine and make her a lowly concubine, groveling at my feet!" Jiang Kuan said bitterly, his eyes red.
Seeing that his son was so determined and almost driven to madness, he immediately agreed and arranged for someone to secretly kidnap Long Mingyue.
Long Mingyue was in a good mood right now, wanting to take the opportunity to go to Jiuyu Mountain outside the city for training. She had been at the Foundation Establishment stage for some time now, and if it weren't for waiting for the ancestor to recommend her to the Wuji Sect, she would have gone out to train long ago.
The Wuji Sect is the number one sect in the Tianxuan Continent. It only accepts cultivators who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage before the age of eighteen. She completed the Foundation Establishment stage just in time, so she was able to enter the Wuji Sect. It wouldn't hurt to wait a little longer.
As soon as she left the house after bidding farewell to the elder, she felt someone following her.
I don't know what those people mean, or who sent them. Could it be that that good-for-nothing ex-fiancé felt embarrassed by the broken engagement and sent people to cause trouble?
Thinking this, Long Mingyue quickened her pace as she left the city, wanting to shake them off.
When she reached the outer edge of Nine Feather Mountain, she discovered that the auras of those people were still hidden behind her. She realized that she was in big trouble, as it seemed that the people following her were no weaker than her in cultivation.
Indeed, Chief Jiang felt that capturing a little girl didn't require a very strong person, but to be on the safe side, he still sent a guard at the third level of Foundation Establishment to lead the group.
In his opinion, this was already a waste of talent. However, he did not know that Long Mingyue had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage. No, even if he knew, he would not care about Long Mingyue, since the leading guard had already reached the third level of Foundation Establishment.
Long Mingyue realized that no matter where she went, she couldn't shake off the people behind her. If she went any further, she would reach the inner perimeter of Jiuyu Mountain.
The inner area was too dangerous, and with her current strength, she couldn't guarantee her safety, so she decided not to leave.
"You've been following me for so long, aren't you coming out yet?"
Upon hearing Long Mingyue's words, the leader of the Jiang family's guards also appeared with the others. Clearly, he had also considered that they were about to enter the inner perimeter of Nine Feather Mountain. He had heard that the inner perimeter was a hundred times more dangerous than the outer perimeter, and he dared not gamble that he had the strength to move safely within the inner perimeter.
"Miss Long, since you've already guessed who we are, then surrender now," the lead guard said arrogantly.
"Surrendering is not my style, Long Mingyue! Take this!" Long Mingyue struck first, drawing her sword to attack.
The lead guard easily dodged the attack and began to retaliate. "Miss Long, stop resisting! Surrender obediently!"
Long Mingyue and the guards fought back and forth, exchanging magical attacks. The others were manageable, but the leading guard was quite troublesome.
Little did they know that the leading guard was also anxious. With his Foundation Establishment Level 3 strength, taking down a Qi Refining stage weakling would have been a piece of cake. Who knew that Long Mingyue would be so difficult to deal with? It seems that the clan leader has good judgment in choosing people. It's a pity that she can no longer be used by my Jiang family after the engagement is broken off.
With this in mind, the leading guard no longer cared about the clan chief's demand to capture Long Mingyue alive, and his attacks became even more ferocious.
Long Mingyue was already several levels below her opponent, and when the opponent's attack became even stronger, she was caught off guard and was struck by the opponent's palm, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Miss Long, stop resisting. The young master said that as long as you behave, he will take you as his concubine when we get back!"
"Be a concubine? What utter bullshit! I'd rather die than be someone's concubine! That Jiang Kuan is a toad trying to eat swan meat, he should take a look in the mirror and see what he is! Bah!" Long Mingyue was so angry at the guard's words that her blood boiled and she cursed loudly.
"Miss Long, watch your words! It's your good fortune that the young master has taken a liking to you!" The guard frowned. Although their young master was indeed useless, Long Mingyue's insults were far too vulgar.
"Guards, take Miss Long away!" The guard waved his hand, intending to grab Long Mingyue and take her back.
Long Mingyue's internal energy was disrupted by that palm strike. Seeing that those people were about to grab her again, she turned and ran towards the inner perimeter of the mountain.
She would rather die than be taken back to be that fool's concubine!
"Boss, she ran towards the inner perimeter, what should we do?"
"Fools, you couldn't even stop them!" The guard was exasperated. If he hadn't been unsteady on his feet earlier, would he have needed these people?
"Chase her! We must bring her back!" In the end, the guards followed Long Mingyue inside.
Entering the inner perimeter of the mountain for the first time, Long Mingyue didn't know where to go. She needed to find a quiet place to regulate her internal energy, so she randomly chose a direction.
The guards who caught up also lost their way, but fortunately, the lead guard was able to lock onto Long Mingyue's aura with his strength and kept chasing after her.
Long Mingyue had already quietly entered a cave. Without even looking, she knew it was the dwelling place of some powerful creature. Fortunately, she carried the concealment talisman given to her by her ancestor and quietly hid herself at the very edge of the cave, hoping not to be discovered.
She sat quietly, regulating her inner energy. Soon, a gust of wind swept in, and she saw a Wind-Breaking Eagle fly back into the cave. It was a sixth-level eagle!
Her eyes widened, and she held her breath. She hadn't expected the inner perimeter of the mountain to be so dangerous. She had just entered and already encountered a sixth-tier demonic beast. You should know that the outer perimeter of Nine Feather Mountain only had some non-tiered demonic beasts, at most third-tier.
She had jumped to the sixth level in an instant, but she was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. She was definitely no match for this Wind-Breaking Eagle. Thinking of this, she tried her best to hide herself even more deeply.
