Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 240
Chapter 240 Welcome Comrade Jiang Li to the Immortal Realm for Inspection
Li Er’s painting shows him, his wife, and his daughter together. It is simple and plain, but also real.
It is hard to imagine that this is the idea of a powerful person in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
Xi Zhi saw the truth in this painting.
She turned Li Er’s painting over and saw a more real picture.
Various beauties gathered around Li Er. These beauties included cat demons, dog demons, fox demons, rabbit demons, dragons, phoenixes, etc., retaining some of the characteristics of their original forms, such as ears and tails.
None of these beauties were human.
Xi Zhi looked at Li Er as if he were a scumbag.
“…Listen to my quibbling.”
“I understand. Liking female demon beasts isn’t something all men desire, but it’s certainly something a significant number do.”
“Fairy, your disdainful look is unconvincing.”
“Anyway, you’ve passed the test, and you can receive the Painting Immortal inheritance,”
Li Er said tentatively. “I really need the Painting Immortal inheritance. Can it be exchanged for something else?”
“What for?”
Xi Zhi wasn’t surprised. She could tell Li Er was nearing the immortal’s Tribulation Crossing stage. Such a powerful individual wouldn’t be idle here; they must be seeking something.
Jiang Li was an exception. Xi Zhi thought Jiang Li was just running around with nothing to do.
“It’s said that those who reach a high level of painting have the ability to add the finishing touch. Can you help me draw a thousand-year-old crystal glass coral tree?”
“Sure.”
Li Er was overjoyed, quickly using his spiritual sense to simulate the coral tree’s shape.
Xi Zhi glanced at it and then stopped. She pulled out a brush from her bosom, licked it with the tip of her pink tongue, moistened the tip, and began to paint in mid-air, creating a lifelike coral tree.
She spread her palms and blew gently, transforming them into a real coral tree.
“This isn’t permanent; it can only last a hundred years.”
“A hundred years is enough. Thank you, fairy.”
Li Er felt he could have a peaceful wedding anniversary.
Speaking of wedding anniversary, when was it?
Xizhi came to Jiang Li again.
“Your painting is quite impressive.”
Xizhi saw that Jiang Li’s painting was a ladder to immortality paved with top-grade spiritual stones, flanked by celestial artifacts. An immortal held a banner that read, “Welcome Comrade Jiang Li to the Immortal Realm for Inspection.”
Aside from the fact that it bore no resemblance to the real ladder to immortality, there was nothing wrong with it. Going to the Immortal Realm was Jiang Li’s greatest joy.
“Even a celestial immortal returning to the Immortal Realm wouldn’t have your grand display.”
“After all, I’m a bit stronger than a celestial immortal,” Jiang Li said modestly.
“Well, then, I’ll pass on my master’s legacy to you.”
Jiang Li shook his head, stopping Xi Zhi’s advance. “Don’t think I don’t know. The Painting Immortal left you here to teach. After a certain number of times, you will dissipate. How many more times can you teach? Three or four? Don’t waste them on me. What I just said was all a joke, don’t take it seriously.”
“You still have a conscience.”
Xi Zhi couldn’t break the rules set by the Painting Immortal. Anyone who passed the three tests would receive the Painting Immortal’s legacy, unless the other party explicitly relinquished it.
The little fox finally understood what she wanted. On the white paper, a domineering white-haired fox woman reigned supreme, her ministers in submission. The elegant Queen Qin Luan sat beside her, awaiting her favor.
The little fox not only wanted to regain her throne as the ruler of Qingqiu, but also wanted Qin Luan.
Aguna imagined entering the bridal chamber with Qin Luan, but unfortunately, she couldn’t draw the scene, so she could only depict the two of them in bed, with the red veil drawn.
Aguna also wanted Qin Luan.
The little fox and Aguna, with Xi Zhi’s affirmation, knew this was their true desire.
However, since they had failed once, they were not considered to have passed the test.
Qin Luan hesitated to begin painting, unable to grasp what he wanted.
Xi Zhi was helpless; she didn’t possess the Buddhist power of telepathy, and even telepathy probably wouldn’t be able to reveal a person’s innermost thoughts.
Qin Luan could only ponder this issue after leaving the secret realm.
After the three tests were completed, only Song Ying received the Painting Immortal inheritance.
Xi Zhi, pleased with this brilliant girl, presented her with a brush.
Song Ying used the brush to draw a fluttering butterfly. The butterfly flapped its wings, swayed for a distance, and then dissipated.
“Is this the way of painting? How magical!”
Xi Zhi was secretly astonished. To achieve this level of skill just after receiving the inheritance, Song Ying’s talent in painting was probably second only to Yu Yin.
When Yu Yin received the inheritance, she drew a pockmarked Jiang Li and then gave him a beating.
After leaving the secret realm, a sect inquired if anyone had received the Painting Immortal inheritance and could become a direct disciple of their master, who had reached the Fusion Stage.
Song Ying naturally refused to acknowledge it. Regardless of whether the other party was sincere or not, she already had her own sect. Wouldn’t joining another be considered a betrayal of her master and ancestors
? Furthermore, joining another sect would mean she could no longer stay with Qin Luan.
Recognizing her true feelings, Song Ying felt a surge of crisis.
Seeing no one claiming to have inherited the Painting Immortal’s legacy, the sects didn’t take it seriously. After all, the last time someone received the legacy was five hundred years ago.
[Do you want to claim your reward?]
“Come.”
A mind-controlling Gu appeared before Jiang Li.
The Gu Clan’s mind-controlling Gu was obtained by Taoist nun Xuan Ai, who was later killed by Jiang Li with his Heart Sword. There were no more mind-controlling Gu
in Jiuzhou, indicating that the system-given Gu came from another world. Jiang Li kept it just in case, figuring he might need it someday. A
manual featuring a scene of sexual intercourse appeared in Jiang Li’s hands. He flipped through it and found the “Yin Yang He Huan Gong” to be unoriginal. The positions and theories of yin and yang harmony were commonplace.
“An orthodox but uninteresting dual cultivation method. The one written by the Ma Zhuo couple is much more interesting.” Jiang Li tossed the dual cultivation method into his storage ring, where it gathered dust.
Few people knew that the unhealthy book the Ma Zhuo couple peddled contained a genuine cultivation method for the protagonist, one that could be practiced according to the book’s description. Anyone who discovered this would receive a dual cultivation method meticulously written by a Fusion Stage cultivator.
The Ma Zhuo couple insisted it was fate.
Jiang Li hoped they could stick with this story even after being captured by the Great Zhou.
The system’s reward also included a tub of medicinal bath to aid in awakening the Celestial Spiritual Root.
According to the system, by taking the Realm Breaking Grass and then soaking in the bath, one could awaken the Celestial Spiritual Root in the late Jindan stage.
Jiang Li, unskilled in pharmacology, took the tub of medicinal bath to Su Wei.
After studying it for a while, Su Wei nodded gently. “It can indeed allow those in the late Jindan stage to awaken their Heavenly Spiritual Roots early, but it is only limited to the late Jindan stage. It will not have any effect on cultivators in the middle Jindan stage.”
“Also, the medicinal materials used here are extremely expensive, not something that ordinary sects and families can afford. Emperor Jiang, please forgive me for being blunt, but this method of awakening Heavenly Spiritual Roots early will probably be difficult to promote in Jiuzhou.”
Su Wei had dealt with Jiang Li many times, and after knowing the function of this bucket of medicinal bath, he guessed Jiang Li’s intention.
If they could find a few more Heavenly Spiritual Roots, it would definitely enhance Jiuzhou’s strength, and perhaps even create another Mahayana stage cultivator. What a pity
. Jiang Li could only give up with regret.
