Chapter 8: Reaping Rewards and Uncovering Opportunities in the Ancient Tree:
"Is this the destined protagonist? With the fortune golden crown blessing him... it seems he is indeed the child of destiny for the Azure Cloud Sect."
"Three sources of fortune, and there's also a mysterious expert in the necklace helping him."
"First, he's expelled from the inner sect, mocked and looked down upon by everyone, then with the help of a beautiful master, he rises to the top and slaps everyone's face?"
"A classic tale of trash rising to greatness..."
Lin Ang, having spent many years in the outer sect, knew very little about Lu Ming. He only remembered that Lu Ming seemed to be a talented disciple of the inner sect who was later expelled to the outer sect for unknown reasons. During these years, Lu Ming had maintained a low profile in the outer sect.
So, it turned out... All this was Lu Ming's act, deliberately hiding his abilities, waiting for the sect assessment to shock everyone and rise to fame in one fell swoop.
According to the normal development pattern, with so many sources of fortune, Lu Ming would make a breakthrough into the Spirit Condensing Realm in a month. He would then dominate the sect assessment, overshadowing all the other disciples and winning the favor of the female lead.
"Following the original destiny... I would fail the sect assessment in a month and die in obscurity, becoming a stepping stone for this child of destiny."
"But now I have made a breakthrough into the Spirit Condensing Realm, changing my fate. I will definitely succeed in entering the inner sect."
"In a typical novel plot, I would become the strongest peer, destined to clash with the ."
"Interesting."
Normally, for Lin Ang to rise in the Azure Cloud Sect, he would inevitably become a target for the child of destiny's persecution
It was crucial to eliminate the child of destiny early to prevent him from continuously rising with his endless fortune.
However, with Lin Ang's system, he could view others' fortunes!!
All-knowing and all-powerful!
He could stay one step ahead of the child of destiny, and continuously reap rewards!
He would steal the child of destiny's path, leaving him no road to follow!!
Until the child of destiny's fortune finally reaches zero and transforms himself into a mere supporting character, and then to cannon fodder!
Furthermore, as the saying goes, destiny could be violated. The birth of each child of destiny was arranged by the heavens. Blindly attacking the child of destiny could lead to a backlash of fortune and punishment from the heavens.
A spiritual crop must be allowed to grow before it could be harvested wave after wave.
Thinking of this, Lin Ang smiled faintly and left the pill shop.
Lu Ming's current fortune seemed to be in discovering an ancient inheritance on Longhu Mountain, right?
Next target, Longhu Mountain!
As Lin Ang left, Lu Ming walked out from the pill shop holding a black medicine bottle, a smug smile on his face. His beautiful master, skilled in alchemy and possessing strong sensory abilities, had immediately recognized that the black medicine bottle contained a second-grade pill.
The beautiful master's voice floated gently, "Xiao Ming, that person seemed to be aware of you..."
"I'm a bit worried."
Hearing this, Lu Ming glanced at Lin Ang's departing figure. After thinking for a moment, he replied casually, "His name is Lin Ang, and he is also an outer sect disciple like me. A few years ago, he gave up his bloodline to save his fiancée. Now he's just a cripple."
"At the sect assessment in a month, he will surely be kicked out of the Azure Cloud Sect. Master, you are overthinking this."
"Let's go, choose some more herbs, and then head to Longhu Mountain to seek opportunities...!"
With the help of his beautiful master, Lu Ming was confident that the opportunity on Longhu Mountain would be his!
As for Lin Ang, Lu Ming didn't care much. As the protagonist, his goal was to rise in the entire Azure Cloud Sect, and eventually aspire to the Holy Land. A minor, insignificant 'supporting role' like Lin Ang wouldn't be on Lu Ming's mind.
...
Longhu Mountain was located in the southern part of the Azure Cloud Sect It was vast, stretching hundreds of miles with towering mountain ranges that seemed like serpent-like dragons and crouching tigers, unfathomable in depth. The mountain was filled with demonic beasts and spiritual herbs. Even though Lin Ang had now reached the Spirit Condensing Realm, it took him two hours of flight to get there.
At the entrance of the Longhu Mountain was a plain stretching dozens of miles. Members of various hunting teams, sect disciples, and even scattered cultivators gathered here from all directions, entering Longhu Mountain in search of recent opportunities.
"Dammit, it's been half a month, where's the opportunity??"
"I spent half a month and didn't even find a single first-grade spiritual herb... Could it be that someone else already took the opportunity??"
"With Longhu Mountain being so vast, finding an opportunity is like looking for a needle in a haystack..."
Complaints and curses arose from the distant crowd.
According to Lu Ming's fortune, the hidden opportunity in Longhu Mountain was in the Blackwood Forest.
Standing on an ancient tree at the entrance of the valley, Lin Ang determined his position.
In the next instant, he turned into a stream of light and entered the valley, heading toward the Blackwood Forest.
Half an hour later.
Lin Ang arrived at the Blackwood Forest, a vast ancient forest in a remote location with very thin spiritual Qi. It was indeed a place few would think to search...
After some searching, he finally found it!
At the end of the Blackwood Forest, Lin Ang discovered an ancient towering tree, its branches and leaves covering a hundred meters around. The trunk of the tree revealed a large tree hole, resembling a small room. This was where the opportunity was!!
