I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

After successfully learning the Evergreen Technique, An Lin’s system refreshed and new missions appeared.

There was an update under the metal category cultivation methods.

Stage One Divine Weapon Origin Energy—Condition: Successfully nurture a weapon spirit.

Trying to make a weapon develop a spirit was an extremely abstruse task. It could be really hard, or it could be really easy.

The Evil-Slaying Sword in An Lin’s possession was a half-step immortal weapon, and its quality was definitely sufficient. However, nurturing a weapon spirit was more about luck and chance than anything else.

For example, a weapon might suddenly develop a spirit after being with its owner for a long time.

Or perhaps the weapon and owner might suddenly develop a connection when facing a powerful enemy, thereby giving rise to a weapon spirit.

Or perhaps one could let their weapon be tainted by the blood of countless beings, birthing within it a bloodthirsty spirit.

There were all kinds of strange ways to nurture weapon spirits. However, there wasn’t a single way which was reliable. It all had to do with luck and fortune and was not something that could be rushed.

Thus, An Lin turned his attention to another section of the system—Moves!

That’s right, the moves section finally updated, with two new missions appearing no less!

Intermediate Rank God of War Immortal Spell, Origin Energy of the Netherworld—Condition: Defeat a sinister devil and absorb its devil essence.

Seeing the term ‘sinister devil’, An Lin’s heart sunk.

This sinister devil wasn’t referring to a particular human, nor was it referring to a particular race.

This was a peculiar category of beings which often appeared beyond the borders of the Tai Chu Continent. These were twisted devils who had boundless negative emotions bottled up within them.

Ordinary humans stood no chance against these devils. Once they neared these beings, their minds would be snatched and they would be reduced to nothing more than walking corpses.

With the power that An Lin possessed, he would simply be seeking death if he ventured out of the Tai Chu Continent.

However, there was a place called the Abyss of Evil within the Tai Chu Continent. Apparently, there was a tiny number of sinister devils which roamed that abyss, and their strength was relatively weak. This was perhaps a suitable location for An Lin to complete his mission.

He turned his attention to the second mission.

Intermediate Rank God of War Sword Technique, Six Strikes of the War God—Condition: Sign a contract with two spirit beasts.

This mission…

An Lin glanced toward Xiao Chou, then also thought of Da Bai. Instantly, he determined that this was the mission which he had the greatest chance of completing.

An Intermediate Rank God of War Sword Technique was definitely going to be super powerful.

One had to realize, the Mountain Quaking Fist which An Lin commonly used was only an Elementary Rank God of War Immortal Spell. Even so, it was already top-notch amongst the various types of immortal spells. As for a God of War immortal spell of the intermediate rank, it was definitely going to be even more powerful!

Thinking of this, he became eager with anticipation.

These were all the new missions given by the system. After reading through them, An Lin turned his attention away from the system and cast his glance back toward Yi Xi.

There was still one matter which he needed to inquire about.

“Elder Yi Xi, there’s still something I want to ask you about,” An Lin said to the thick-browed fatty.

“What is it?” Yi Xi was in a fairly good mood right now, and he wore a grin on his face as he spoke.

An Lin was a bit nervous. “How many spirit stones does the second-rank immortal pill, Ultimate Creation Pill, cost?”

Yi Xi was startled by this question. “The Ultimate Creation Pill? What do you want to do with such a pill?”

“Uh… I owe someone for this immortal pill, so I want to inquire about its price,” An Lin answered sheepishly.

“That um… Is a million spirit stones enough?” An Lin added.

He looked through his storage ring and found that he only had one hundred vital stones left. This was equivalent to one million spirit stones.

Yi Xi cracked up as if hearing a joke, and his belly quivered as he laughed. “A million? Hahaha… Even if you add a zero to the end, it’s probably still not enough!”

An Lin’s jaw dropped and he was paralyzed with shock.

Even ten-million spirit stones is probably not enough? It’s actually that outrageously expensive?!

To Tycoon An, this was a massive blow!

Seeing An Lin’s expression, Yi Xi explained, “With one million spirit stones, the most you can get is the cheapest third-rank immortal pill. The Ultimate Creation Pill, however, is a second-rank immortal pill. Moreover, it’s the hardest second-rank pill to refine.

“First of all, the pill refinement rank of the refiner must have reached the Supreme Level. In all of the Kingdom of the Nine States, only a handful of people have reached this rank. What more, the refinement of this pill requires extremely rare treasures that you can only dream of. In fact, some of these treasure can’t even be found in Dou Shuai Palace. Furthermore, this pill has to be refined in a special type of environment…”

As he spoke, Yi Xi’s expression became curious. “Presumably, you were dead as a doornail at that time. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have needed such a pill. However, what I’m more curious about is, who gave you such a pill?”

One had to remember, An Lin was only a cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Stage. The Ultimate Creation Pill, on the other hand, was a second-rank immortal pill which perhaps even ten-million spirit stones would not be able to buy. Which supreme being was so generous? Yi Xi was extremely curious.

“It was Chang’e.” An Lin didn’t cover up the truth. At the university, this was already common knowledge.

This time, it was Yi Xi’s turn to be shocked. His eyes widened until they were even larger than Xiao Chou’s eyes. “Chang’e actually helped you… What’s with this world…”

Then, a thought suddenly occurred to him and he exclaimed, “Who’s Chang’e’s husband?!”

An Lin was baffled. “Huh?”

Yi Xi pressed, “Are you her son?!”

An Lin: “…”

One had to admit, Yi Xi’s train of thought was quite spectacular.

Toward his speculation, An Lin denied it outright.

However, even An Lin himself was unable to explain why Chang’e was so nice toward him. Did she really go to such great lengths because of Su Qianyun’s pleading?

Sigh. No matter what, he had to repay this debt.

An Lin was considering whether he should thank Chang’e in person sometime and conveniently gift her his Realm-Piercing Nail or something.

An Lin didn’t end up using the free immortal pill coupons given to him by Heavenly Emperor Zi Wei and Celestial Maiden Tianyu.

After all, he still hadn’t decided which pills he wanted. He was thinking that it would be a good idea to leave these coupons for future needs.

With no more pills to refine, An Lin and Xiao Chou left Dou Shuai Palace.

Xiao Chou suddenly jumped off his shoulder while next to a lotus pond, transforming back into his original form.

“What’s wrong?”

“I’m about to rank up!”

A look of delight spread across An Lin’s face and he started to stand guard next to Xiao Chou.

Xiao Chou took out the Mysterious Blood Immortal Fruit given to him by An Lin and started chowing down on it.

After finishing it, he sat down cross-legged and started to meditate.

Boom!

Vital energy of the heaven and earth swarmed about, forming a swirl of vital energy which started surging into Xiao Chou’s body.

The wind howled about, and claps of thunder could occasionally be heard.

It had to be said, the stir caused by breaking through to the Spirit Nurturing Final Stage was quite large.

As the swarm of vital energy grew more and more violent, a great number of black flames suddenly erupted from Xiao Chou’s body.

These black flames enveloped his body, and it seemed like they were going to swallow all matter. Glancing at it, it was as if one’s mind was also going to be sucked in and engulfed by them. The earth surrounding Xiao Chou became scorched black, and the plants also started to wither and die.

An Lin was alarmed by this sight. Clearly, he didn’t understand why such flames would suddenly erupt from Xiao Chou’s body.

All of a sudden, Xiao Chou’s eyes opened and two golden rays burst out from them. They cut through the black flames and like two rays of sunshine, sliced open the thick layer of dark clouds.

A mysterious aura swept through the surroundings, causing the white lotuses in the lotus pond to darken.

Glancing over, An Lin found that all of the lotuses in the pond had turned black. They appeared sinister and chilling, yet magnificent at the same time.

The black flames subsided, and the radiance in Xiao Chou’s eyes also dimmed.

He stood up and stretched. His aura had become powerful and vast.

“Success!”
