The tasks in this plane were threefold: First, ensure the male lead, Chu Jun Mo, met a terrible end; second, protect the seven major factions; and third, protect the original host's sole disciple, Chu Jun Mo.
Ming Li: Can I get some high-difficulty, challenging missions?!
System: ...Heh! The system quietly rolled its eyes. It's simply because Host is too strong, isn't it!
Topic: What to do when my Host always feels the missions are too easy?
As Ming Li finished gnawing on the spiritual fruit in her hand, she sensed a group of people with profound cultivation powers approaching her. It was Shi Yu Yang and his companions.
Upon arriving at Demon Restraint Mountain, Shi Yu Yang and the others saw their ancestor lying comfortably under a tree, gnawing on a spiritual fruit.
They approached Ming Li, cupped their fists, and spoke in unison: "Ancestor, we seek your guidance!"
Ming Li's tone was level: "Come, let this seat see how much you have improved these past few centuries!"
Everyone: "Ancestor, forgive us!"
With that, a group of people took out their spiritual artifacts and attacked Ming Li.
Ming Li's figure instantly vanished from her original spot.
Two minutes later.
Shi Yu Yang, your speed is too slow! You need more practice with speed back there! And those two large hammers of yours, you need to train them well too!
Shi Yu Yang: ...
The Fire Cloud Sect disciple, I'm saying, is the fire from your Fire Cloud Sect this weak now? So little fire, are you joking with me! If you're feeling depleted, go back and take some Ascending Fire Pills to replenish!
Huo Hao Lin: ...
And this one from the Water Yang Sect, can your water be more concentrated? Are you practicing precipitation here?
Shui Huan Qian: ...
I'm saying, Medicine Spirit, your hidden weapons are discovered the moment you bring them out, can they still be called hidden weapons? You should go back and get some more concealed ones! And your poison, it's too trashy!
Yao Ling Zi: ...
This beauty from Peach Blossom Immortal Island, excuse me, do you have an eye twitch? Why are you blinking so much? And your formations and seductive arts are also not good!
Ling Ji: ...
The one from the Beast Taming Sect, you're not even as capable as your spiritual beasts, are you serious?!
Long Shen: ...
This one from the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, can you go back and properly study the Ten Thousand Sword Manual before fighting me, what is this mess?!
Duan Qian Jue: ...
The system witnessed this scene and silently sighed in its heart: My Host, when she's sharp-tongued, is simply inhuman! Look at how demoralized they are.
In the end, the group was beaten so badly by Ming Li, it was beyond description.
Each of them stood before Ming Li with faces like bruised pigs, wishing at that moment they could burrow into a crack in the ground.
Ming Li spoke with a tone of disappointment: "I've only slept for a few hundred years, hhh! I've only been in seclusion for a few hundred years, how did you all become so weak?"
As she spoke, Ming Li took out several books inscribed with mysterious ancient runes from her spatial dimension and distributed one to each person.
Ming Li took out a spiritual fruit from her spatial dimension and said while chewing, "If you're still this weak next time, I don't think you should hold onto your current positions."
Everyone: ...Ashamed, ashamed. Wait! What did the Ancestor just say? She slept for! Several! Hundred! Years!
Did the Ancestor let slip a secret? Would they be silenced?
They could only exchange glances, then look up towards Ming Li's direction, only to find that she was no longer there.
Everyone silently breathed a sigh of relief, then looked down at the books in their hands, and then, they were shocked again.
Damn! This is the long-lost "Thousand Kylin Technique"!
This is the "Dual Flame Art" recorded in ancient books!
This is... "Phantom Arts Compendium"!
Ancient pill recipes! An entire book of ancient pill recipes! Oh my, oh my! I'm rich! I'm rich!
This is the "Myriad Formations Manual"!
"Myriad Beast Art"!
"Ancient Sword Techniques"!
Shi Yu Yang carefully stored the items into his spatial ring and then said to the other six people: "Our Ancestor is too generous, you guys are really getting a good deal!"
His tone was undeniably proud.
The others didn't say anything, but quickly stored the items in their respective spatial rings or bracelets.
After the six had put away their things, they looked at each other, politely cupped their fists, and said in unison: "Then, I shall take my leave to go into seclusion and cultivate."
With that, the six of them left, some riding swords and others riding flying spiritual beasts. In an instant, only Shi Yu Yang remained at the scene.
Shi Yu Yang: "Don't leave in a hurry! Stay and listen to me brag!"
Hearing this, the departing group stumbled, nearly falling from the sky.
Everyone: ...Phew, thankfully we had the foresight to leave early, otherwise this guy could definitely keep us bragging for three days and three nights.
Meanwhile, after Ming Li left, she headed to the Spiritual Mist Mountain Range to find materials for Chu Jun Mo's body reconstruction.
Within the Spiritual Mist Mountain Range.
Ming Li was currently engaged in combat with a ten-thousand-year-old seventh-tier Wind Fire Pig.
While fighting the seventh-tier Wind Fire Pig, Ming Li said to the system beside her: "I must say, you two look quite alike."
The system glanced at the ugly Wind Fire Pig and said: "Host, how do we look alike? It's so tall and ugly, while I'm so cute and adorable. We're not even on the same level."
Ming Li: "You two are both red pigs, aren't you similar?"
System: ...My Host is definitely face-blind! Absolutely!
The system dejectedly ran to a corner to draw circles. Halfway through, it suddenly remembered it should light candles, so the system laboriously ran to its small storeroom to fetch candles.
Ming Li ignored the system and continued fighting the seventh-tier Wind Fire Pig.
After fighting for a while, Ming Li found it uninteresting and unleashed a finishing move. The seventh-tier Wind Fire Pig fell with a thud, unable to get up.
Ming Li walked over leisurely and took the Blazing Sun Grass that the Wind Fire Pig had been guarding.
Looking at the completely dead Wind Fire Pig, Ming Li said: "Extra meal tonight."
Upon hearing this, the system was overjoyed. Because it had absorbed the Koi System and upgraded, it was now a system that could eat.
Night fell.
Ming Li found a spacious spot and started a fire. She didn't care that it was deep within the Spiritual Mist Mountain Range, fraught with danger, and began roasting meat.
Soon, the aroma of roasted meat permeated the entire forest, attracting some carnivorous spirit beasts and people.
As Ming Li and the system were enjoying their roasted meat, they were suddenly interrupted by a gentle male voice.
"Young lady, the depths of the Spiritual Mist Mountain Range are perilous, especially at night. Although we don't know why you are here, we are willing to stay and protect you."
With that, a group of people surrounded her.
Ming Li's mouth twitched violently.
Where did these idiotic fools come from?!
