The next morning, Jiang Li got up early.
The premium spirit herbs on the back mountain, I'm coming for you.
Jiang Li left his living quarters and quickly headed for the back mountain.
By now, quite a few miscellaneous disciples were already searching for herbs on the back mountain.
Apart from the Nether Cave, the back mountain was the place miscellaneous disciples of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect frequented the most.
After all, finding even a single precious spirit herb represented an opportunity.
Whether it was sold or consumed, it would greatly enhance one's strength.
And in the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, strength was paramount.
Only with formidable power could one truly have the right to survive.
Otherwise, one could only be bullied with impunity, just like the former Jiang Li.
Jiang Li paid no attention to the disciples searching for herbs on the periphery, instead walking towards the edge of the cliff on the back mountain.
According to the Life Script System, the premium spirit herbs were located below the cliff on the back mountain.
Jiang Li passed by one miscellaneous disciple after another and reached the cliff's edge.
Eh, isn't that Lin Dong?
Jiang Li's pupils contracted. Didn't they say three days later! Why was he here now?
Moreover, the aura emanating from Lin Dong made Jiang Li's eyelids twitch wildly. This Lin Dong was too uncanny; he couldn't discern Lin Dong's strength at all.
Lin Dong's aura seemed to be concealed by something.
Jiang Li couldn't sense any trace of aura from Lin Dong.
Could he have become a cripple? How was that possible? Right, he could use the Life Script System to check.
Let's look at Lin Dong's Life Script.
[Name]: Lin Dong
[Cultivation Realm]: Body Tempering Fifth Layer
[Destiny]: Protagonist of Destiny (Purple-Gold), Turns Peril into Fortune (Purple), Abundant Aid (Purple), Endless Romance (Purple).
[Affinity]: -10
[Life Script]: Protagonist of "Rebellion of Heaven and Earth". Originally the young master of a small mortal dynasty, he began his destined path after being captured by the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect.
[Turns Peril into Fortune]: No matter how great the danger, he will always resolve it and gain benefits from it.
[Abundant Aid]: Often receives inexplicable opportunities and benevolent assistance.
[Endless Romance]: Full of romantic luck, easily gains favor with women...
[Recent Turning Points]:
In 10 minutes, while gathering herbs on the back mountain of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, he accidentally fell off a cliff and obtained a premium spirit herb.
Six days later, during the Outer Sect entrance examination, he killed opponents multiple times, attracting the attention of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect's Saintess, and received a reward of top-tier martial arts.
What, unbelievably... Jiang Li's heart lurched.
Body Tempering Fifth Layer... Are you kidding me...
I stole his cultivation technique, and he still upgraded? Is this the protagonist of destiny...
And, he can still kill opponents in the Outer Sect examination, this Lin Dong...
Could he have encountered another fortuitous encounter? Jiang Li was filled with doubt...
And what's with the affinity of -10? Was it discovered that I stole his Saint-tier cultivation technique?
Impossible. If it were discovered, the affinity would have reached -999 long ago. It seems to be the interference of the Heavenly Dao's will, allowing him to sense something...
Jiang Li's mind raced with thoughts.
Forget it, who cares. I'll take his spirit herb first...
Then Jiang Li walked towards the cliff's edge.
At this moment, Lin Dong saw Jiang Li approaching and felt a faint sense of irritation...
Why? I don't know this person, and he hasn't provoked me.
Lin Dong thought to himself, with so many miscellaneous disciples in the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, it was impossible for Lin Dong to know them all.
Moreover, Lin Dong was not a sociable person; he only knew how to cultivate diligently.
Could it be because he's handsomer than me?
Lin Dong looked at Jiang Li's delicate and handsome face and couldn't help but think.
However, even if you are handsomer than me, your strength is definitely not as strong as mine.
Last night, while eating out, Lin Dong tripped and unexpectedly found a Heaven-tier cultivation technique on the ground. Combined with the Blood Spirit Pills he had secretly saved up, he had broken through to the Body Tempering Fifth Layer in just one night.
Lin Dong was now extremely confident in his future. With the boost of a Heaven-tier cultivation technique, reaching the pinnacle of martial arts was only a matter of time.
As Lin Dong was lost in thought, something on the ground suddenly tripped him again, and Lin Dong's body was about to fall off the cliff.
At this critical juncture, a pair of strong arms firmly grabbed Lin Dong.
"How can you be so careless? You almost fell!" Jiang Li said to Lin Dong with feigned "surprise."
Lin Dong suddenly snapped back to reality. It was this person who saved me... I almost fell...
Immediately, with Jiang Li's help, Lin Dong regained his footing.
Lin Dong looked at the cliff, a chill creeping into his heart. He had almost died. Fortunately...
Then, with a look of lingering fear, Lin Dong said to Jiang Li, "I don't know what to call you, my brother. Thank you for saving my life!"
Jiang Li waved his hand and smiled, "You can call me Jiang Li. We are fellow disciples; we should help each other in times of difficulty!"
Hearing this, Lin Dong was deeply moved. He felt extremely guilty about his earlier aversion to Jiang Li.
What a good person, and I was actually jealous of his handsomeness. I'm such a scoundrel.
Thinking of his own cousin, he probably wished I would die here...
"Brother Jiang, my gratitude is beyond words. I will repay your life-saving grace with a tenfold return in the future!" Lin Dong said solemnly.
Jiang Li looked at Lin Dong before him and muttered inwardly, don't you dare. If you knew I had intercepted your Saint-tier cultivation technique... you'd probably want to kill me.
Huh... the affinity has actually reached 50 points...
After pulling Lin Dong up, Jiang Li checked Lin Dong's script using the Life Script System and found that Lin Dong's affinity for him had reached 50 points.
Is this protagonist's affinity so easy to gain? What a pity... I'm not interested in you...
Then, after exchanging a few pleasantries with Lin Dong, Lin Dong moved to another spot to search for herbs.
...
This should be the spot, Jiang Li thought, looking at the place where Lin Dong had almost slipped.
Then, Jiang Li began to descend along the cliff.
The protagonist could fall directly, but he didn't think he had the qualification to jump down.
If he died, wouldn't that be a huge loss...
Fortunately, after changing to the [Kunlun Creation Art], Jiang Li's physical fitness had been strengthened to an extremely powerful level.
His stamina and endurance had also become incredibly strong.
Rock climbing was a minor issue.
Half an hour later, Jiang Li finally reached the bottom of the cliff.
The bottom of the cliff presented a picturesque scene of clear waters and lush mountains.
It was like a completely different world from the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect above.
