Chapter 239 Ling Feng's Encounter
Su Ziyuan never expected that after she rejected Bai Ke's offer of a job, he would still treat her so sincerely.
She was very clear about the current situation in Tian Ce Palace. Even though Bai Ke had performed exceptionally well in the previous training missions, his chances of winning were only fifty-fifty.
Unfortunately, compared to Lin Xiu, who had long been entangled in countless interests and deep roots within the Tian Ce Palace, Bai Ke's foundation was still somewhat lacking.
Su Ziyuan, whose identity is in doubt, obviously knows many things that even Bai Ke doesn't know, which is why she didn't rashly choose to take sides.
To be fair, if Su Ziyuan were to disregard everything else and simply follow her heart, she would choose Bai Ke without hesitation.
However, the selection of the Holy Son involves a great deal of issues, and even Su Ziyuan's identity can only remain silent, quietly waiting for the final winner to emerge victorious.
During the recent training mission, Bai Ke left a deep impression on her, which greatly changed her previous impression of Bai Ke.
If possible, Su Ziyuan secretly thought that the Holy Son Election would also take into account the candidates' subordinate forces, so she could secretly lend a hand once or twice.
As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Su Ziyuan's gaze towards Bai Ke softened considerably, the wariness and distance she had previously harbored vanished.
Just as Su Ziyuan was thinking rapidly, Bai Ke was not idle either. Heaven knows why the system suddenly sent him an emergency notification at this moment.
Bai Ke focused his mind on the penguin icon in his mind's eye, skillfully entered the system space, and then a series of system notifications appeared.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully gaining the favor of the important figure Su Ziyuan. The system has specially rewarded you with 100 evil points."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully ruining the opportunity of the protagonist Ling Feng, which is in line with the villain setting. This system will reward you with 500 evil points."
"Ding! The system has detected that the host has one unused lottery chance. The reward amount will be increased and the level of the treasures the host can obtain will be upgraded."
Three system notifications flashed by, leaving Bai Ke, who had just entered and was still confused about the situation, completely bewildered.
Good heavens, just who is this Su Ziyuan? I only went out to make some friends and maybe even meet some people, how did my evil points suddenly increase so much...?
As a major villain in all the worlds, Bai Shao finally gained nine underlings, a cause for universal celebration, yet the system only rewarded him with 20 evil points.
Look, he only gained a small amount of Su Ziyuan's personal favor and his evil value increased by 100 points. That's such a huge difference...
Having transmigrated to this point, Bai Ke is no longer the naive person he once was, and he is well aware of the purchasing power of the evil points awarded by the system.
Clearly, Su Ziyuan is the most important person to Ling Feng, the first protagonist of destiny discovered by Bai Ke. Otherwise, the system would not have repeatedly rewarded him with so many evil points.
Back when the inner disciples were becoming apprentices, Bai Ke ruined Ling Feng's chance to become an apprentice and also damaged Su Ziyuan's favorability. The evil points rewarded by the system were truly astronomical.
Unfortunately, while spending money is like water flowing away, making money is as difficult as climbing to the sky. Even after Bai Ke desperately accumulated evil points over such a long time, he still couldn't earn as much as he did by ruining Ling Feng's opportunities.
I only exchanged a few polite, innocuous words with that little girl Su Ziyuan today, and I immediately gained 600 evil points.
Bai Ke sometimes wonders why he's bothered traveling the world when he has Ling Feng, a walking ATM... Constantly monitoring him is probably just making his evil level rise exponentially...
Just as Bai Ke couldn't help but have wicked thoughts, Ling Feng, far away in the Wanbaotang alchemy room, felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart, and his originally steady spiritual power became chaotic.
When Ling Feng came to his senses, he didn't have time to check the cause of the throbbing pain in his heart. Seeing the alchemy furnace gradually turning red and heating up, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly scrambled out of the alchemy room.
Perhaps it was truly fate, for the moment Ling Feng's toes stepped out of the alchemy room, a violent heat wave instantly rose from within.
Then came a violent explosion. Ling Feng's face turned pale, and he stared blankly at the shattered alchemy furnace in the room.
"Ling Feng! Why did you explode the alchemy furnace again? It's always you! Tell me how many times you've exploded the furnace this month? If this keeps up, all my savings will be blown up by you!"
A man in white appeared in the courtyard in an instant, then looked at the mess in front of Ling Feng with a distorted expression.
A barely perceptible glint of greed flashed in his eyes, and his scrutinizing gaze swept over Ling Feng's unharmed body before quickly withdrawing.
Since taking Ling Feng as his disciple, he has gradually figured out some of Ling Feng's special characteristics, the biggest of which is that this kid seems to have exceptionally good luck.
It's perfectly normal for alchemy apprentices to explode their furnaces; who hasn't exploded their furnace when they first started learning alchemy?
But... but this kid always came out unscathed. No matter how violent the explosion was, even when he himself might have been injured, Ling Feng remained completely unharmed.
This piqued his curiosity, and based on his observations over a long period, Fang Shiqing concluded that Ling Feng must be the legendary person with unparalleled luck.
Fang Shiqing had heard about such people when he first stepped into the world of cultivation; they seemed to be the darlings of heaven, with unparalleled luck.
After learning that Ling Feng actually had such abilities, Fang Shiqing had been intentionally or unintentionally testing Ling Feng by sending him to do some highly dangerous experiments.
After a while, he really discovered Ling Feng's usefulness. He was perfectly capable of handling experiments with uncertain risks with Ling Feng.
However, today's pill was clearly a very simple Guiyuan Pill, which Ling Feng could have refined long ago with his abilities!
With his luck and extraordinary talent, he should have produced many more, so why did the furnace explode all at once?
Fang Shiqing was very angry and kept scolding Ling Feng. Ling Feng lowered his head and dared not utter a word, but he was secretly angry and bitter.
This batch of Guiyuan Pills should have been a sure thing, and he was thinking of making this batch of pills to share the good news with his master. But who knew that at the moment the pills were completed, an inexplicable palpitation instantly swept through his body.
As a result, the originally normal spiritual energy channels became disordered, leading to another explosion in the furnace. He did not take his master's reprimand to heart.
However, the feeling of losing something just now was so frustrating that Ling Feng couldn't figure it out and felt extremely aggrieved.
"Hmph! It must be that Bai Ke who's behind this. Let him be arrogant for a while longer. Once my cultivation breaks through, it will be the time for him to bow down and submit. Xin'er, you are destined to be my woman!"
