Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World Novel

Chapter 54


I strolled over to the Cai Family area. The moment they saw me, they turned hostile.

“What are you here for? To gloat?” One of them asked.

“What do you think I am for. Of course I am going to gloat. Why don’t you call that Cai Yanlin out and tell him to show his face now. Is he so shy all of a sudden? He used to bully me so much, right? Tell him to show his face now. Let me see how he will react when his dear friend won the martial gathering.” I snickered.

Step. Step.

Cai Lien walked up to me.

“It was a good fight. I am just here for Cai Yanlin. I hope that you do not take any offense.” I said. I did not want to get into any unnecessary problems right now. A person in the fifth layer at this age? She was bound to get to great places, considering her talent.

“I was wondering where I heard your voice. Now I understood where I found it so familiar. To think that I would come across the guest from the auction house after this long. It seems that this really is a small world after all.” Cai Lien smiled.

“The who? I think that you have me confused for someone else.” I took a step back defensively. This woman had a mad memory! To think that she would remember a voice from back then! I needed to stay away from her.

“No. I knew that I recognized it then. I recognize it now. You are the fifth VIP member of the Shianxi Auction house. They only give that to respected guests. You must be the alchemist who is behind the pills that have been popping up so frequently.” she said.

“This woman has a mad intuition. I shouldn’t stay here any longer. It will only get me in trouble.” I realized.

“I came here for Cai Yanlin. It seems that he is too much of a coward to show up. I think I will go now.” I tried to leave.

“Wait. I am not here to cause trouble. I need your help with something. I can pay handsomely. That is what you are mostly after, isn’t it? Money? Let us talk in private.” She suddenly said, coming forward and holding my hand.

I turned around. I could feel the glares of everyone trying to tear me apart. She was one of the beauties of the city. Of course they would hate it when she held a man’s hand.

“Let us talk in private. I don’t want to lose the life that I am just building for myself.” I quickly said, dragging her to a corner of an alley. After confirming that no one was there, I looked at Cai Lien.

“Are you mad? Do you want to kill me? I already got into so much trouble by being engaged to Bai Zhiqui. Do you want your family to kill me as well? Now tell me, what is that you want? And it better be good.” I shouted at her.

“You might now know, but during the marital gathering, I talked to Bai Zhiqui. I asked her help to refine a pill. It is very important, and there are not many alchemists in the Kaishi city, much less one that can refine a pill of the Foundation Establishment stage. All the pills in the city come from outside, except for the ones that come from the Bai Family.

Bai Zhiqui refused my request. But she told me that I could ask you instead. I was confused at first, but when I heard your voice, I connected the dots. Are you willing to help me?” she asked.

“First of all, this is too big an ask. I am not even sure I will be able to refine your pill. And second, why the hell should I?” I asked.

“I said that I would pay a price, didn’t I? The Liu Family is in a precarious position. As long as you refine this pill, then the Cai family will not touch the Liu Family.” Cai Lien declared.

“Are you powerful enough to say this for your clan?’ I raised my eyebrows.

“Trust me. If this pill is refined, then the Cai family is willing to do everything it can to repay its debt.” Cai Lien said.

“I do not know what the pill is, and I do not have the ingredients. Nor do I have the recipe. You do know that I need a pill recipe for something like this.” I said.

Cai Lien flicked something at me. I caught it and took a look. It was a spatial ring!

“Everything that you need is in there. If you need anything more, you can ask me. I need this done by the end of the month. If not, then it is too late. You can forget I even asked you anything. Come on then. It is getting a little late. The prizes will be distributed.” Cai Lien said as she walked out of the alley and back into the huge crowd.

I stood there in shock.

“She is so rich that she gave me everything in a spatial ring? What the hell is this, and why is it so goddamn important?”

I shook myself and ran back to the arena. The rewards were far too important. There was also the foundation tempering pill, and the martial art that I could pick. These were too important to pass upon. I needed a good movement skill and this was coming in clutch.

I looked at the ring. Things were just beginning to start. The judge was standing with a list in his hands. He was reading out names, while the city lord was sitting on a chair at the center of the ring. Right next to him was Master Mu, and to the other side was a woman, presumably his wife.

“Number ten, Liu Heng, come onto the stage.” the judge called out.
