Cultivation System: All I Want Is To Fail My Mission!

Chapter 31: Getting To The Root

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Yao ‘er was the young girl’s name. She was a very talented cultivator, but the spiritual energy in her body was exhausted and it was difficult for her to cultivate. Therefore, they had to constantly look for places with abundant spiritual energy to help her cultivate.

Previously, they had sensed a large amount of spiritual energy in the villa, so they wanted to go there and investigate.

Jiang Yu didn’t pay any attention to the old Daoist Priest’s accusation. He picked up the roasted chicken drumstick and started eating.

Although he had snacks in his spiritual pouch, he didn’t bring roasted meat.

“You… We roasted this, what right do you have to eat it?!”

Yao ‘er was furious and tried to snatch the drumstick from his hand.

Jiang Yu wasn’t greedy and gave them the remaining drumsticks.

“Thank you for your hospitality,” Jiang Yu mumbled, angering Yao ‘er even more.

“Yao ‘er, calm down,” Her master stopped her. Then he turned to Jiang Yu again, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

At the same time, the system was berating Jiang Yu in his head.

[Host, why did you expose your identity? I don’t know if these two are friends or foes. What if they plot against you in the future?]

‘Didn’t you say that their cultivation isn’t as high as mine?’ Jiang Yu asked in confusion. ‘Then what am I afraid of?’

[You… You must be wary of others!]

The system was speechless.

Its host was usually smart, so why was he becoming weird now?

‘I know. I don’t need your warnings,’ Jiang Yu finished the drumstick, took out a tissue from his spirit pouch, wiped it, and threw it back into the trash can.

This action stunned the three people on the other side.

The old Daoist Priest naturally knew about the spirit pouch.

Most people didn’t have this item. Even if they did, they couldn’t use it as they please, especially when they didn’t have enough spiritual power.

Using a spirit pouch required a large amount of spirit energy, but this kid, who was not even twenty years old, could use the spirit pouch at will.

This kid’s cultivation was at least on par with his!

Meanwhile, the master did not pay attention to this. He only asked, “So, how do you cultivate? You look young, but your cultivation level is quite high.”

Now that the spiritual energy in the world was exhausted, it was impossible to cultivate to such a level in a short time. No matter how high one’s talent was, it was almost impossible.

How did this kid do it?

Jiang Yu paused and said with a relaxed expression, “I relied on luck and didn’t cultivate much myself.”

Of course, he couldn’t reveal the system or those free pills. Wouldn’t he be asking for trouble otherwise?

“Tsk! Liar!” Yao ‘er had a look of disdain on her face. Was this guy trying to fool them?

So what if his cultivation was high? None of his words were on point.

“Yao ‘er! Don’t spout nonsense!”

“It’s rare enough for him to cultivate to such a level in such a short period.”

“Humph!”

Yao ‘er was still unconvinced. The little girl pouted and tilted her head to the side. She was quite cute.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yu took out some desserts from his spirit pouch and continued eating.

The Master deliberated and continued to ask, “You rely on luck… How… What do you mean?

Who could be so lucky? They had spent most of their lives cultivating, but this kid was already on the same level as them before he was even twenty years old.

Moreover, according to him, he hadn’t cultivated much yet. How was that possible?

The Master had a feeling that Jiang Yu was still lying, so he continued to ask indirectly.

“I accidentally ate a pill and became a cultivator. Of course, I only found out later.”

He didn’t understand what he meant, and the Master didn’t know what he meant.

“Can you elaborate? I don’t understand. What pill did you take?” The Master asked anxiously. “Then how did you obtain the pills?”

Based on his description, he must have eaten the Clear Heart Pill. Otherwise, how could he suddenly become a cultivator?

The problem was… Clear Heart Pills was priceless. Where on earth did this kid get it from?

It was also possible that what he ate was not a Clear Heart Pill and that he was still lying.

The Master was still suspicious.

After several questions, Jiang Yu sighed helplessly and said, “Why don’t you believe me? I told you, I obtained this pill by accident.”

“I failed the college entrance examination a month ago and wanted to commit suicide. In the end, I found a pill by the roadside. Anyway, I didn’t want to live anymore. It didn’t matter what the consequences were after I ate it.”

What?

“So, you became a Cultivator just like that?” The old Daoist Priest opened his mouth in shock, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Was this real? If so, this kid must be very lucky!

“Now it seems that it is.”

Jiang Yu seemed to be reminiscing, “After eating the pill, I checked the information and realized that I had started cultivating.”

“What pill did you eat?” The Master asked anxiously. When he saw Jiang Yu take out a mid-grade Clear Heart Pill from his spirit pouch, he was even more shocked.

He originally thought that it was just a low-grade Clear Heart Pill.

A low-grade Clear Heart Pill was very rare, let alone a mid-grade one… What kind of luck did this kid have?!

“Pills? What kind of pill is that?” Yao ‘er was both curious and a little afraid.

She recalled the excruciating pain she felt after taking the pill. She did not want to experience it a second time.

“I checked the information and said that this is a mid-grade Clear Heart Pill. It doesn’t seem to be available on the market.”

“Where did you get it?” asked the Master.

“When I woke up after taking the pill, I saw the pill by my bed. I took it and kept it since then. I don’t know where it came from.”

Why did it still sound so bizarre?

The Master didn’t believe him, but seeing Jiang Yu’s evasive eyes, he knew that he didn’t want to reveal anything about where he got his hands on one, so he didn’t ask further.

But one thing was sure since there were still mid-grade Clear Heart Pills in the world, there was a way to obtain them. It was only a matter of time before he got it.

The Master kept this in mind and continued to ask, “Then when you took it back then, did you feel uncomfortable?”

He wanted to make sure that this kid was not taking the Clear Heart Pill.

These medicinal pills were so difficult to obtain, but he managed to obtain two at once. It didn’t seem very believable. Perhaps what he took really wasn’t the Clear Heart Pill.

“If you’re talking about feeling very uncomfortable, I don’t think so.” Jiang Yu thought about it and shook his head. “I did have a headache. I went home and took a nap. When I woke up, everything was normal. I didn’t feel anything uncomfortable. Later, I found that my body was stronger and my skin was much better than before.” It had indeed cleared the impurities in his body.

The Master pondered and thought about what else he could ask, but there seemed to be nothing suspicious.

Except for the fact he refused to reveal where he had obtained the medicinal pill.

Why wouldn’t he reveal it? Did he not want to share the pills? Or was there another reason?

However, it was inappropriate to expose too much in the current situation.

“Is there anything else you want to ask? I’ll try my best to answer whatever I can.” Jiang Yu appeared very calm.

The Master and the old Daoist Priest finally shook their heads.

Jiang Yu was relieved.

He had finally managed to fool them.
