CHAPTER 43: CULTIVATION PAGODA.

"Thirty years in Handan, thirty years in Kunlun... the Buddha is blind, the life is bitter," Bai Long said coldly.

"You should thank your mother and her slutty little pussy hole. If not for her... I might have really taught you a good lesson that you would remember for ages."

His eyes narrowed, as sharp as heaven slaying blade.

"But since I’m now your mother’sman, how could I possibly lay hands on her bastard son? Consider this mercy, boy. Now, get out of my sight. Your very presence pollutes the air around me."

Thud!

The spirit leopard released Bai Huan from its jaws, dropping him like trash.

"You... You... You will regret this moment!" Bai Huan growled through bloodied teeth, eyes glowing with hatred.

The audacity to take his words lightly.

Slap!

Bai Long’s palm cracked across his face again.

"You’re still barking? Tch... Lucky dog, don’t tell me you want to see your mother getting fucked by my dick, hehe, if that’s why you are staying here, I am more than happy to show you how I fill the very hole that birthed a shameless son like you."

Bai Huan reluctantly left the room knowing his weakness.

If Bai Long could kill him now, he would’ve granted Bai Huan a thousand painful deaths. But the signs were too clear; the brat’s luck was unnatural, growing even as he lost everything.

Luck: 4,800 (+)

That could only mean one thing, he had protection. From within the sect. That made things delicate.

No matter what, Bai Long had his own plans.

In this world, strength is everything. But background... background determines how long you get to keep your head.

’How long can I walk wearing someone else’s skin?’

Bai Long thought.

’It’s time to tie myself to power and gain a background. Hehe, however, that doesn’t mean I won’t use borrowed clothes... Anything and everything is merely a puppet under my control, people are like sheep and I am the shepherd controlling the main sheep.’

A shepherd who controls all the sheep is a fool, a shepherd who controls the main sheep is wise.

Besides, Bai Huan was still on track to build a harem, and Bai Long had already stolen two of them.

The next one would trigger a daily sign-in bonus, a juicy perk too good to ignore.

’System,’ Bai Long whispered in his mind, ’tell me the name of Bai Huan’s sect. His peak, his master...’

’Especially the master. If I have to guess... she is a woman. Sweet, powerful and elegant.’

’Deduct whatever points are needed. Give me an in-depth strategy to tame her.’

[Ding! 5,000 points deducted: Strategic Domination Plan generated]

[2,000 points deducted: Intelligence Acquisition Complete]

[Target Identified: Bai Huan’s Sect: The Great Autumn Holy Land. A Diamond-Rank Sect, located two mountain regions east, within the Hidden Valley of Sei Gei.]

[Peak Affiliation: Hidden Mist Peak]

[Master: ’Fairy Leng Xin’: Age 300, cultivation level first stage of nascent soul realm. Estimated temperament: calm, graceful, disciplined... but untested in carnal trials.]

[Analysis: 100% accuracy confirmed. Bai Huan’s master is a pure, untouched fairy.]

"Hehe, untouched fairy... A Jade beauty indeed."

[ Here is the detailed plan to tame her...

1) Join the sect, don’t hide your power and inheritance but don’t reveal it fully. Conceal your cultivation two levels lower as a back-up and don’t reveal the reverse dragon scale and always stay high profile.

2) Actively challenge Bai Huan for the position of Bai Huan and join the rival peak, to annoy Leng Xin.

3) Humiliate Bai Huan in every way possible, steal his luck, and gain more attention from Fairy Leng Xin.

4) Learn to fully use the borrowed knife and the borrowed identity. Learn sect politics and once you know her situation you can easily control her.

In conclusion, your goal is to make her realize that her decision to choose Bai Huan, hoping he would become the Holy Son, was merely a dream and can never be fulfilled.

You can either manipulate the person’s mind or the situations surrounding them to force them to take the path you have built for them. ]

’Hehe, Indeed, once you act all high, there would be people coming to you... Hehe, Young Master is destined to have a lustful creepy image in front of everyone and some people will think they man manipulates someone like Bai Long using a woman...’

Tch, Tch, Tch, all thoughts are but one dimension, and Bai Long can see through all the tactics that can be used against him, and not just that but he can use anything to his own advantage.

Anyway, with Bai Huan gone, Bai Long once again enjoyed the flesh of Fenghua and left the room.

It was time to test the power of the Cultivation pagoda.

* * *

Inside his own quarter,

Bai Long was alone.

He took out the pagoda from the system space. It was a monumental mini figure with a three-story, glowing ominously.

There is no way this is merely a subspace.

"System, what is this?"

[Host, this is a cultivation pagoda, a treasured artifact of the ancient cultivation world. It contains a vast array of resources and tools to aid in your cultivation path. With it, you can cultivate faster and stronger than others.]

Bai Long’s eyes widened with excitement. "This is amazing! How do I use it?"

[To activate it, you need to offer a sacrifice; 10 drops of blood essence ]

Bai Long frowned. "Ten drops of blood essence!? That’s like 100 years of life span..."

But he didn’t have much choice, he took out a knife and cut his thumb dropping the blood essence to the pagoda, making it flow deep red.

Woosh~

A magical energy was released through the surroundings and Bai Long was sucked inside the pagoda and it vanished into thin air.

Inside the pagoda, Bai Long saw a lot of things.

First of all, the space inside is huge, like a small kingdom with its own sun, moon, rivers, mountains and forests.

Secondly, the pagoda is filled with spiritual energy. The air itself was thick with Qi, and the ground was rich in spiritual essence. It was the perfect environment for cultivation.

Thirdly, there were various facilities and structures inside the pagoda that were designed to aid in cultivation. There were meditation halls, alchemy halls, weapon forging halls, and even training grounds.

Fourthly, there were three golems made from shadow to help him.

And lastly, this is a base floor, and there are three more floors that contain inheritance.

The first floor contains the inheritance to become an Alchemy master, the second floor contains the Array master and the third floor contains the inheritance to make him a Rune Master.

However, it isn’t easy. In order to move to the upper floor he has to walk on soul stairs that can damage or even erase his soul.

Soul stairs are like gravity stairs given that each step increases the pressure on the soul, rather than the gravity.

"So, system... You are saying each of these golems is an alchemy master, an array master, a rune master, a weapon forging master!?"

[ Yes ]

"Hehe, so, they can make pills and weapons for me. Can I take them outside!? What is their strength!?"

[Their strength can reach up to the soul-wondering realm, and they can help the Host practice martial arts techniques and spiritual arts.]
