Chapter 104: Heh Heh! You’re the One!
Lin Lingling had no idea what had gotten into Chen Huai’an.
The mont they got ho, he locked himself in the spare bedroom and didn’t co out.
"Whatever. Not my problem.
After all that chaos, I’m gonna drop dead if I don’t sleep."
She cautiously glanced at Baji on the couch—
Only for their eyes to et.
Both of them shuddered simultaneously.
【Why is this human brat staring at ? Gonna snitch on ?】 – Baji, trembling.
‘Why is this big demon glaring at ? Gonna eat ?’ – Lin Lingling, legs weak.
The mory of that monstrous shadow on the wall made Lin Lingling’s scalp go numb.
She bolted for the master bedroom.
Baji watched her disappear, then let out a long sigh of relief.
It imdiately jumped onto the windowsill, joining the Big Green Fish in absorbing the mysterious spirit plant’s Qi.
This place was like serving an unpredictable emperor—one wrong move, and it was over.
It had to escape.
As soon as possible.
…
anwhile, inside the spare bedroom—
Chen Huai’an had already logged into My Virtual Girlfriend.
A system notification popped up.
【Demonic Cultivator Fragnt x1 obtained.】
【Spider Silk Armor received.】
"Huh? Demonic Cultivator Fragnt? What the hell is that?"
"And where’s the Spider Silk Armor? I don’t see any package at the door."
Usually, rewards arrived outside his apartnt in a mysterious package.
He had checked—nothing there this ti.
Just as he finished speaking—
Shwoop—!
A package suddenly appeared on his bed.
【Spider Silk Armor – Delivered to Immortal Chen.】
Chen Huai’an stared at the package.
His mouth twitched.
"Wow. Not even pretending anymore, huh?
All those ‘delivery packages’ before—just for show?"
He tore it open.
Inside was a vest-like garnt—
Similar to a bulletproof vest, but far lighter.
The outer material was silky smooth, yet beneath it, he could feel rigid armor plates.
A strong gut feeling told him—
These plates were made from the Human-Faced Spider’s exoskeleton.
Between the plates, silver threads held everything together.
He tugged at them—super elastic.
So this was the "spider silk" part.
Killed a demon, got armor out of it.
Even though the thing had been blown to dust…
Not a single resource was wasted.
"Good stuff.
Wearing this should lower my chances of getting turned into minced at."
Without hesitation, he put it on.
Then, he made a ntal note—
The Spider Silk Armor now joined the Blackscale Sword as part of his "sleeping essentials."
He checked the new Demonic Cultivator Fragnt.
【Demonic Cultivator Fragnt: A token obtained from slaying a demonic cultivator.】
【Collect 10 fragnts to unlock the Righteous Cultivator Faction Shop.】
"Oh, so that Human-Faced Spider was a demonic cultivator?"
Chen Huai’an smacked his fist into his palm.
That made sense.
He didn’t particularly care about righteous or evil paths.
After all, in novels and gas, the so-called Righteous Dao wasn’t always so righteous.
It’s not about the sect, it’s about the heart.
But—
If being evil ant looking like so horrendous monster…
Then yeah, he’d rather be a handso, righteous cultivator.
"Wait, didn’t I also kill a demonic cultivator in the ga before?
Why didn’t I get a Demonic Cultivator Fragnt then?"
Three possibilities—
Only real-world kills counted.
The in-ga enemy hadn’t actually died from the lightning strike.
The fragnt drop rate was random.
Either way, he ntally noted it down for future reference.
In the ga, Li Qingran and Yue Qianchi were still ditating.
For so reason, Yue Qianchi had wrapped herself up tightly in blankets…
Wasn’t she hot?
Chen Huai’an didn’t dwell on it.
Instead, he opened his character panel and navigated to Talent Abilities.
Several options appeared:
【Golden Needle Acupuncture Lv2: Spring Renewal Needle (Small Mastery), ridian-Opening Needle (Initial Mastery)】
【Green Lotus Sword Manual (Initial Mastery)】
【Tideborn Technique (Conditions Not t)】
"Just as I thought—I can cultivate the Tideborn Technique!"
Seeing his hunch confird, Chen Huai’an grinned.
It didn’t specify what conditions were needed…
But he had a good guess—
All ridians must be opened.
Even if that wasn’t 100% correct, opening all his ridians would only benefit him.
"Alright! Ti to level up my ridian-Opening Needle!"
He checked the details:
【ridian-Opening Needle (Initial Mastery): Unblocks ridians but has a high risk of causing disability.】
【Upgrade to Small Mastery: Requires ¥1999 in in-ga purchases.】
"¥1999? That’s actually a steal!"
Before, he hadn’t paid attention.
But now?
Now, he knew better.
"Top up!"
He swiped his card, loading ¥1999 into the ga.
But—
The upgrade didn’t unlock.
"Oh—right. I actually have to spend the money."
No problem.
Ti to spend!
His gaze swept the ga interface.
He noticed that Li Qingran and Yue Qianchi were still using a Mid-Tier Spirit Gathering Formation.
He clicked his tongue.
"Chen Huai’an, have so dignity!
How could you let Qingran baby cultivate with trash-tier formations?!
Ti to step up my ga—5.3 more hours of Advanced Spirit Gathering Formation!
And let’s stack them!"
Clink, clink, clink!
Ten Spirit Crystals materialized, surrounding the existing Mid-Tier Formation.
Li Qingran and Yue Qianchi snapped awake.
"Enemies?!"
Yue Qianchi’s eyes sharpened as she scanned the room—
Only to freeze in shock.
"HOLY SHIT—!
That’s an Advanced Spirit Gathering Formation?!
The Spirit Qi is insane!"
Before, when the Mid-Tier Formation appeared, she had been briefly mortified…
But the pure joy of cultivating in it had made her forget the embarrassnt.
Who cared if she was seen?
Li Qingran’s Master was supposedly so Supre Elder—
A thousand-year-old cultivator pursuing The Dao.
Surely, he had no unseemly thoughts about a young woman like her.
Hell, even if she offered herself, he’d probably reject her outright.
Back at the sect, she rarely even used Low-Tier Spirit Gathering Formations.
The only reason her cultivation had progressed so smoothly was thanks to Su Qinian funneling all the peak’s Spirit Qi into Falling Sunset Summit.
Otherwise, she’d never have reached Golden Core Mid-Stage.
She had expected no cultivation opportunities on this trip.
But just before bed?
Her Master had casually summoned a Mid-Tier Formation.
Now, at midnight?
He just dropped an Advanced one on top of it.
Yue Qianchi gulped.
Advanced Spirit Gathering Formations…
Were those even sothing she was worthy of?
"Junior Sister, your Master is unreal."
She gave Li Qingran a thumbs-up.
Then, after a mont—
"By the way, Junior Sister—does your Master have a Dao Companion?"
"Dao—Dao Companion?"
Li Qingran blushed.
But then—
She suddenly tensed, eyeing Yue Qianchi suspiciously.
"Senior Sister… why do you ask?"
Yue Qianchi smirked playfully.
"I an, look at —I’m a beauty.
If your Master doesn’t have a Dao Companion…
Maybe I could—"
"NO!!!"
Li Qingran crossed her arms, her face burning.
"ABSOLUTELY NOT!"
…
anwhile—
Chen Huai’an had just finished upgrading his skill.
【ridian-Opening Needle: Small Mastery achieved.】
A new upgrade appeared—
【Upgrade to Great Mastery: Requires ¥6666 in in-ga purchases.】
"Hmm… That’s very reasonable!
Top up!"
But how should he spend the money this ti?
Extending the Spirit Gathering Formation again?
Nah—
Li Qingran and Yue Qianchi still had to travel.
He browsed the in-ga shop—
Until his eyes landed on sothing perfect.
He grinned wickedly.
"Heh heh…
This is perfect.
You’re the one!"
