After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Chapter 279



With Lin Feng in tow, Jiang Chen traveled swiftly, crossing a hundred li in just a few days.

For thousands of mad cultivators were in pursuit, the two dared not stop along the way.

It was only when they were close to the secret realm’s exit that they finally shook off the thousands of mad cultivators and rested in a half-collapsed ice cave.

Lin Feng seized the time to heal his injuries with medicinal pills.

Jiang Chen sat nearby, meditating with closed eyes, occasionally letting out a slight sigh that was enough to make Lin Feng shudder.

……

Several days later.

Seeing that Lin Feng’s injuries had improved, Jiang Chen returned two bottles of spirit fire to their rightful owner.

While holding the small green bottles in his hand, Lin Feng was filled with mixed emotions.

It confirmed what Old Man Tianji had said.

Jiang Chen really could help him stabilize his destiny… He managed to regain the opportunities he had lost!

“…Thank you,” Lin Feng finally managed to say after a long silence.

“Thank you?”

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, his face showing a fierce light as he said, “Lin Feng! Remember this, what I need is for you to keep getting stronger! Not to be like trash and getting beaten wherever you go!”

Lin Feng didn’t understand this.

He should keep getting stronger? Did his strength somehow benefit Jiang Chen?

“Perhaps what he means is that he hopes one day to have a grand battle with you, the Son of Destiny!” Old Man Tianji speculated.

Lin Feng thought this made sense.

Jiang Chen’s strength was progressing too quickly.

Looking at the world, perhaps only he, the Son of Destiny, could keep up with him!

With this thought, Lin Feng couldn’t help but regard Jiang Chen more highly.

He had once considered him a stepping stone, and it was still the case.

However, the thought of rising by stepping on this stepping stone seems almost impossible at the moment.

The only way was to keep growing until the day he surpassed Jiang Chen!

With these thoughts, Lin Feng wanted to say that if one day he fought Jiang Chen and won, he would spare his life.

But remembering what happened last time at the Buddha Temple, where he was stabbed by Jiang Chen for saying this, he wisely kept his mouth shut.

‘Maybe Jiang Chen isn’t so bad. To spare his life would be an insult to him,’ Lin Feng guessed in his heart.

With this thought in mind.

He straightened up and looked Jiang Chen in the eye, saying, “If one day we fight and I win, I will ensure you die a swift death!”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up.

Lin Feng is finally enlightened! He finally understood Jiang Chen’s painstaking efforts!

“Haha! I like what you’re saying,” Jiang Chen laughed while patting Lin Feng on the shoulder.

“I was thinking of beating you up again, but since you’re so eloquent, I’ll let you off.”

Lin Feng was speechless.

“Even though you’re useless and not much good for anything, but rest assured, as long as you obediently act as my dog, I’ll make sure you stay alive!” Jiang Chen added.

This made Lin Feng’s mouth twitch.

A dog?

Him?

The Son of Destiny?

That must be a joke!

At this moment, he was merely a dragon trapped in shallow waters, but one day, he, the Son of Destiny, would rise!

“Jiang Chen, I admit. I’m not as strong as you right now, and your cultivation progress has far exceeded my expectations. But there’s one thing you’re not better at than me,” Lin Feng said confidently.

“Oh? What’s that?”

“Alchemy!”

“…Alchemy?”

“That’s right, alchemy! I’m already a sixth-grade pill refiner master, and with the seventh-grade spirit fire I’ve obtained, I will soon advance to the seventh grade!”

“You’re getting carried away!” Jiang Chen’s gaze turned cold.

Lin Feng was startled but stood his ground, “Can I ask, how many seventh-grade pill refiner masters are there in the Central Domain? Do you know how many years a common pill refiner master needs to go from beginner to seventh-grade?”

Jiang Chen, of course, knew these things.

There were countless cultivators in the Central Domain, but pill refiner masters were rare.

Only a dozen or so seventh-grade pill refiner masters were in the Ancient Pill Tower.

And for someone to become a common pill refiner master, even with good talent and fortune, it would take at least decades!

“I’ve only been in the Ancient Pill Tower for a few months, and I’m already a sixth-grade pill refiner master! In this regard, I live up to the name Son of Destiny!” Lin Feng stood up, gesturing grandly.

Jiang Chen did not object to this as it was the truth.

He had experienced nine cycles of reincarnation and had dabbled in the Way of the Pill, but ultimately his talent and fortune were limited, and his current proficiency in the Way of the Pill was barely at the sixth grade.

“So Jiang Chen! Do you dare bettle me?!” Lin Feng suddenly shouted.

“You’re getting a bit too carried away!”

Jiang Chen stood up, the Flame Blood Dragon Sword appearing in his hand, and said menacingly, “What, have I been too nice to you? Do you think I can’t wield my sword anymore?”

Lin Feng shuddered again and quickly tried to calm him, “Calm down, Brother Jiang, calm down! I’m talking about a battle in the Way of the Pill, not what you’re thinking.”

A battle in the Way of the Pill?

Jiang Chen paused.

“Indeed, the Way of the Pill!”

Lin Feng hurriedly explained, “In a few months, the Ancient Pill Tower will hold an alchemy conference, and I will, as the first true disciple, accept the challenge of all pill refiner masters!”

“I see,” Jiang Chen realized.

The plot of the alchemy conference was also in the original story, but it was different from this life.

In the original story, Lin Feng was always a disciple of the Jiuyan Sect, but under Old Man Tianji’s guidance, he achieved great heights in the Way of the Pill.

He attended the Way of the Pill conference at the Ancient Pill Tower as a Jiuyan Sect disciple, then proceeded to show off and slap faces all the way.

But in this life, Lin Feng had joined the Ancient Pill Tower and was facing challenges from other pill refiner masters.

In essence, the nature of the alchemy conference hadn’t changed. It was still a stage set for Lin Feng to show off and slap faces.

Considering his own proficiency in the Way of the Pill was indeed not high, Jiang Chen had no desire to embarrass himself.

But then he thought there was no need to be modest.

First of all, he possessed the Phoenix Fire, which made alchemy much more efficient.

Secondly, the system rewarded him with Buddhist Sect techniques when he went to the Buddha Temple.

Then, the system rewarded him with ghost techniques when he went to the Ghost Controlling Sect.

Analyzing this pattern, the system reward will surely be something related to the Way of the Pill if he goes to the Ancient Pill Tower!

Either way, he will definitely make a trip to the Ancient Pill Tower sooner or later.

Through nine cycles of reincarnation, not only has the Ancient Pill Tower issued a kill order against him, but that Great Elder of the Ancient Pill Tower was also the indirect instigator of the Jiang family’s downfall!

That person must die!

The Son of Destiny cannot be killed, but what about others?

“Hmph.”

Jiang Chen let out a cold laugh.

The grievances of the past nine lives must all be avenged in this life, and no one can escape!

There’s also the most important point.

The Alchemy Conference, as a grand event of the Central Domain, will also be attended by people from the ‘Imperial Pavilion’, the surveillance and suppression institution of the Imperial Dynasty in the Central Domain.

If Lin Feng truly dominates the scene with the Way of the Pill, the people from the Imperial Pavilion will surely take notice.

At that time, just like in the original story, they might connect this Son of Destiny with the Imperial Dynasty.

This must be avoided.

Although Jiang Chen hopes for Lin Feng’s rise, it doesn’t mean he will be unrestrained!

He must be cautious, especially when it comes to matters involving the Jiang family!

“I’ll accept your challenge!” After sorting out his thoughts, Jiang Chen replied.

“Really?”

Lin Feng was overjoyed, seemingly already envisioning the scene where he defeats Jiang Chen in the Way of the Pill, winning both respect and submission.

“Of course, who doesn’t know that I never speak falsely?” Jiang Chen nodded.

Although Lin Feng doubted Jiang Chen’s character, he was sensible this time and did not expose him.

After repeatedly confirming that Jiang Chen would not change his mind, Lin Feng no longer spoke and continued to recover from his injuries.

Jiang Chen, on the other hand, fell into contemplation.

The Heaven’s Pride Ranking appeared ahead of schedule, and the Alchemy Conference was also convened earlier.

All this proves that the plot development of this life has accelerated by who knows how many times compared to the original story and the previous nine lives.

‘Perhaps the Grand Sect Competition is already upon us?’ Jiang Chen murmured to himself.
