The Strongest System - chapter-111

Amidst the rosy morning glow, the skies were white like the flipped belly
of a fish. Rays of the golden sun slowly brightened up the world as the
skies turned orange.

The earliest bird caught the worm. Most disciples would wake up early to
breathe in the soothing morning breeze of nature to prepare for their
day’s practices.

‘WHICH MOTHERF*CKER STOLE FROM THE MEDICINAL FIELDS?!?”

In a peaceful morning as such, a sudden roar shattered the stillness in
the air.

Ever since Danding Peak was robbed more than a month ago, the disciples
who were in charge of keeping a watch thought of a multitude of ideas to
keep it safe. At the same time, dozens of disciples would lay in wait
every night in hopes of catching the herb stealing ba*tard.

But more than a month had passed, and yet, the bandit did not appear.
Thinking that he was probably too scared to return, they sent off the
disciples from their nightly watch.

Little did they expect that just as they sent off the disciples keeping
watch, the bandit struck once again.

Abominable. Detestable. Exasperating!

If they ever discovered who this guy was, they’d make sure to rip him
apart.

After cleaning up the mess, the disciples of Danding Peak discovered that
this time round, a little of every variety of herb was stolen. Compared
to that barren plot they discovered back then, there were remnants of his
conscience this time round. But this was still unforgivable.

…

At this moment on Nameless Peak…

Zhang Ergou was standing guard at the foot of the peak sneakily, peering
into the distance. From a distance, a figure appeared. Focusing his
vision and identifying the identity of the man, Zhang Ergou ran back up
the peak.

“Master! He’s here! Ye Shaotian is here!” Zhang Ergou shouted.

Lin Fan, who was lying down idly thinking about his pill cultivation
processes, shot up in an instant. He then hurried beside the furnace, lit
up a fire and pretended as though he was in deep concentration.

…

On the outside, Zhang Ergou and Feng Bujue were cultivating nonchalantly.
Upon Ye Shaotian’s arrival, Zhang Ergou leaped forward and greeted,
“Ah! You’re here, Senior Brother Ye!”

“Hmm,” Ye Shaotian nodded coldly.

During this period of time, Ye Shaotian was enjoying life without a care.
Not only did his cultivation base increase tremendously, even that once
less than satisfactory night activity was now vigorous like a dragon.

Each time he consumed Biggra, it was a sleepless night. Not only did he
and Junior Sister Ruo achieve the epitome of life, so did the surrounding
outer sect disciples.

Because every time Ye Shaotian conducted a night activity, those outer
sect disciples would be too distracted to sleep. Those loudly pitched
“Mmm’s” and “Ahh’s” rang through the entire outer sect.

In the eyes of these outer sect disciples, Ye Shaotian was just plainly a
beast in human’s skin.

Not only was the duration extremely long, but god*mn it, it was bloody
vigorous.

At first, some of the unknowing outer sect disciples would bring their
partners over to the vicinity. But there was once when Ye Shaotian began
his night activity while some of them were enjoying their own with their
partners. Everyone was dumbstruck. Especially when they saw the
contemptuous looks of their partners upon hearing the sounds resonating
out from Ye Shaotian’s house, they felt utterly disgraced.

In the end, everyone swore to never bring their partners around there
anymore.

…

“Is Junior Master Lin around,” Ye Shaotian asked. He saw Feng Bujue nod
his head coldly.

Feng Bujue just took a quick glance, and returned to whatever he was
doing.

Just the fact that these two were not caught in a fight was beyond luck.
And it was all to Lin Fan’s credit.

While Ye Shaotian was still cocky, he was nowhere near as arrogant as he
was.

“Senior Brother Ye! Master Lin is right within the house! Let me lead you
there!” Zhang Ergou had arranged this beforehand with Lin Fan, and he
knew exactly what he needed to do.

“Hmm,” Ye Shaotian nodded again.

Arriving at Lin Fan’s wooden house, Zhang Ergou counted the time. Just
as he was about to speak, a voice rang from within.

“Oh no! We’re almost out of Seven Star Grass! Seems like I could only
bear the danger and head out to the danger grounds for more of it!”

“Junior Disciple Ye is still waiting for the pills! I can’t let him
down!”

Zhang Ergou, who was about to speak, shut his mouth immediately, and
sneakily stole a glance at Ye Shaotian.

Ye Shaotian stood stupefied, a look of shock spreading across his face.

He knew of Seven Star Grass. It was a type of herb only found in the
danger grounds of the sect. The danger grounds were a place of sheer
cliffs and precipice, home to the Rock Snakes. Rock Snakes were violent
like wild beasts. Even though their cultivation bases were in the middle
of postcelestial, they lived in big groups.

Even if a fully cultivated postcelestial were to drop down within the
nest of snakes, that would be his burial ground for sure.

What Ye Shaotian did not expect was that the Junior Master Lin he was
always wary of would risk such a danger just to cultivate these pills for
him.

And just then, Lin Fan’s voice came through yet again.

“This furnace! It only cultivated three pills! How would this be? I’ve
promised five to Junior Disciple Ye! How can I not live up to my words?”

“The Seven Star Grass consists of extremely potent Yang properties. Since
I no longer have any Seven Star Grass, then let me use my own Essence
Blood to compensate for it! While it may weaken me for a few days, I
can’t disappoint Junior Disciple Ye!”

The voice within the house came intermittently, and Ye Shaotian’s eyes
were filled with utter disbelief.

He had never expected to hear these words, and he could not comprehend
it. For the sake of cultivating Biggra for him, Junior Master Lin would
self-sacrifice to the state of using his blood essence. This…this….!

To a martial artist, blood essence was the most important thing apart
from the Cultivation Foundation. The loss of Blood Essence would not only
cause one’s body to weaken immensely, but it would also lead to
instability of the Cultivation Foundation and possibly dire consequences.

“Because of my accidental kick, I caused Junior Disciple Ye to lose his
dignity in the outer sect. As a Junior Master, I have sinned greatly…”

“Ding! Ding!”

Just at this moment, sounds of tools banging came from within the shed.
Terrified, Ye Shaotian burst into the room without hesitation.

“JUNIOR MASTER LIN! NO!” Ye Shaotian screamed at the sight of Lin Fan
wielding the tools in his hands, ready to make an incision.

He had not expected that there would be someone who cared for him so
dearly in the sect. Ye Shaotian had always maintained an arrogant and
domineering attitude. Thus he was never liked by anyone. Even those
people he knew were only faking their emotions towards him, plotting and
scheming against him.

To cultivate his mystical skill, Ye Shaotian allowed his cultivation base
to drop in the past three years to look at the true nature of those
around him. Naturally, now that he regained his cultivation base, of
course he had to go back to bullying those who had mocked him initially.

“Ju…junior disciple Ye! Why…! Why are you here!” Lin Fan showed a
face of shock, as though he had not seen this coming.

“Junior Master! How can I, Ye Shaotian, bear to see you make such a
sacrifice! To consume your own Blood Essence just for the sake of
cultivating pills for me!” Ye Shaotian was deeply touched by Lin Fan.

Emotions were raw and real. Even the most arrogant man would have his
moments of emotional attachments.

“It’s fine! It’s just Blood Essence. As long as I can regain the
confidence of my dear Junior Disciple, it will all be worthwhile in the
heart of Yours Truly” Lin Fan waved his hand like it was nothing.

“Junior Master! I sincerely apologize! I thought that you had some plot
against me! But to think that you had such deep care for me! I am deeply
remorseful for my thoughts!” Ye Shaotian cried out emotionally.

Ye Shaotian had heard all of Lin Fan’s thoughts. That heart of his
which had not felt emotions for a long time was shaken by Lin Fan.

“No, Junior Disciple Ye. You don’t have to feel reproachful. So long as
I can cure my Junior Disciple’s unspeakable flaw, I feel heartened as a
Junior Master. Alright, just wait there for a little moment and let your
Junior Master cultivate out these last two pills for you” While Lin Fan
felt that his acting was great, he wanted to push it up a notch.

“No! Junior Master Lin! Three pills are more than enough!” Ye Shaotian
shouted alarmingly.

There was no one who would treat him with sincerity. Ruo Mengyu was the
only one. And today, he had found the second person.

Ye Shaotian was always a fragile man who had often thought that life was
lonesome and dreary. But now that there was a man who was willing to look
at him wholeheartedly, how could he let this man endure such torments!

Zhang Ergou looked at the two men within the house and retreated silently.

He needed to calm down. Master was…way too shameless! At the same time,
Zhang Ergou could only feel pity for Ye Shaotian.

Senior Brother, you’re naïve, way too naive. After the events of
today, he’ll probably never be able to escape Master’s palms.
