Chapter 20: Dogsh*t Luck

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Every word the system said seemed to be provoking Jiang Yu as if it was telling him that he should hurry up and train.

Jiang Yu pondered in his heart. Wouldn’t the result be the same whether he trained or not? The final result would be a failure, and he would receive a strange punishment, which was also a reward.

However, it was right. When his cultivation level increased, this bit of spiritual power would be nothing to him.

But now… He hadn’t played with this spirit pouch enough!

So, how should he replenish his spiritual power now?

Jiang Yu thought for a moment, then opened the system store and bought a large number of Spirit Restoring Pills in one go. Then, he ate them one mouthful after another.

The system didn’t know what to think.

Was this how the Spirit Restoring Pill was used? He was just playing with the spirit bag. There was no need to waste his spirit energy like this, right? What a waste!

However, on second thought, he still had a lot in stock. Jiang Yu definitely wouldn’t be able to finish them in a short time. It still had ways to replenish them later on.

Since that was the case, the system let him take them! If the host took more, he might break through at any time.

Even if he didn’t break through, the host would still receive help at the end of the mission. Therefore, there was nothing bad about the host being a mess.

Meanwhile… At the same time,

The old Daoist priest walked a long way before returning to the Daoist Temple.

As for this Daoist Temple, it was naturally the one where the Daoist priest and the young girl were previously.

However, at this moment, the young girl was lying on the bed. Her breathing was weak, and he did not know what was going on.

She was clearly fine when he left. This was…

Another Daoist sighed, “She insisted on eating that pill. She wanted to break through. I didn’t give it to her, so she secretly took them herself. As a result, her body suffered a backlash.”

The old Daoist priest had already guessed what he would say next.

“Although she has successfully broken through, her vitality has been greatly damaged. She needs to recuperate for a long time and won’t be able to cultivate for a short time.”

The Daoist priest shook his head regretfully.

Although the girl’s body was weak, her consciousness was still clear. She apologized, “I’m sorry, Master. I was wrong. I won’t dare to do it again.”

She thought that the consequences of taking the pill would not be so serious.

She did not expect her body to be so weak that it could not even withstand this little bit of strength.

“You’re too bold,” The old Daoist priest was both angry and distressed, “Even we don’t dare to take pills easily during cultivation. You’ve learned your lesson this time.”

However, things had already turned out like this. The old Daoist priest had no other choice but to take care of the girl.

“I found spiritual energy,” The old Daoist priest suddenly said, “But when I entered the source seemed to disappear without a trace. I can’t find them no matter what.”

“How could that be?” The other Daoist priest was shocked, “After the appearance of the spiritual qi, it can’t disappear so quickly, right? Is it true that you didn’t find it?”

“I’m sure,” The Daoist shook his head, “The spiritual energy dissipated almost instantly. I have no choice but to believe it.”

At this point, the old Daoist priest thought of Jiang Yu.

That kid’s physique was excellent, his cultivation was not low, and his skills were not bad. It was a pity that he could not take him in as his disciple.

But when he thought of the kid’s way of life, the old Daoist priest sighed regretfully.

How could such a good seedling be blinded by money?

If he could come to the Daoist temple and cultivate properly, he would be able to achieve something in the future.

After thinking about it, the old Daoist priest finally stopped thinking about this matter. Looking at the girl who was in great pain, he took out the last low-grade Spirit Restoring Pill.

“Take this and remember not to mess around in the future.”

“Pills are something that can be used well to break through. If not used well, it can be fatal. If you continue to act recklessly like this and something happens, even the gods can’t save you.”

When the young girl heard this, she nodded with tears in her eyes, but she rejected the low-grade Spirit Restoring Pill. “This is already the last pill. It’s too wasteful to use it on me. I’ll be fine after resting for a while.”

Moreover, this time she suffered a backlash, it was indeed her own fault. Why waste this Spirit Recovery Pill?

“Now that you need it the most, it’s for you.” The old Daoist priest did not allow her to refuse, “Eat it. You must recover quickly. Are you going to disobey your elders?”

In the end, the young girl took the Spirit-restoring Pill.

After taking the medicine, the girl’s complexion became much better. However, her strength had not recovered yet, and she still needed to rest for a few more days.

However, her consciousness was much clearer now.

The Daoist priest kept warning her not to do such dangerous things again. This time, the girl listened.

On the other side, Jiang Yu consumed the Spirit Restoring Pill like a madman. When he felt that he had eaten enough, he continued to play with the spirit pouch. When his spirit energy was exhausted, he continued to eat.

It left the system speechless as it watched this repeated process.

[What are you doing? Even though I have plenty of them in stock, the Spirit Restoring Pill isn’t something you can use like this.]

Many people couldn’t even get a single Revival Spirit Pill, yet its host was wasting them like this.

“You have more stock, anyway, so what if I waste some?” Jiang Yu said it so matter-of-factly that the system couldn’t refute it.

Who asked his system store to have such a setting? It wasn’t like they could limit the purchase.

Moreover, it was a good thing for Jiang Yu to consume more Spirit Restoring Pills. He might break through in his cultivation at any time.

After that, Jiang Yu purchased a large number of Spiritual Recovery Pills and stuffed them into his stomach.

All of a sudden, Jiang Yu felt his entire body gradually heat up. He was all too familiar with this feeling. It was a sign of a breakthrough!

This time, the breakthrough came very quickly. Before Jiang Yu could even understand what was happening, he felt his body being filled with spiritual energy. The system shouted in shock, [What is this? You broke through just like that?]

Wasn’t its host’s luck too good?

This was no longer just a matter of talent. He was really lucky!

“I actually broke through.” Jiang Yu was also very surprised. Recalling what he had just done, he felt that this mechanism was even more unreasonable.

It fully demonstrated what it meant to be more successful as a prodigal.

He had already squandered so many Spirit Restoring Pills. It was fine if there was no punishment, but he was even allowed to break through.

Jiang Yu’s heart was filled with shock.

[You’re lucky. It’s good that you’ve broken through. You’ll soon move on to the next mission.]

The system then warned, [But next time, you won’t be so lucky.]

It was impossible for every mission to be so weak!

In fact, Jiang Yu had thought the same way at first. In the end, he realized that every mission was nothing!

“I feel that the same thing will happen again and again,” Jiang Yu coldly retorted, “It’s not that I’m lucky. It’s just that your mission can be completed even if it’s ruined.”

The system was speechless.

Can you not be so straightforward?

[Ahem, in any case, you still have to work hard.]

The system easily brushed this off.

“Don’t worry, even if I fail, I will still work hard.”

If he did, wouldn’t he have to go back and inherit the family business? This was the nightmare of his life.
