An Lin returned to the university to continue his money-making career.
He would still go to some classes, but most of them were focused on pill refinement, spell techniques, and dao realm classes. Pill refinement classes could help improve his cooking, which was very important. Spell technique classes would allow him to learn many useful spell techniques and gradually teach him how to invent spell techniques of his own so that was quite important too.
As for dao realm classes, this was mostly because he liked to watch Celestial Immortal Ming Yuan's lectures. Celestial Immortal Ming Yuan always talked about abstract things animatedly and with vigor.
Those three types of classes basically comprised all the classes that An Lin had to attend. As for the others, he would ditch as many of them as possible. Since he was already this powerful, there was no need for him to attend those classes. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝓷oν𝑒Ɩ - 🅽🅽novel
It was a busy, yet uneventful life.
Before he knew it, a month had passed.
During that time, another two powerful beings at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage came to transcend their tribulations. One of them succeeded, while the other one failed.
That wasn't the important point though. The point was that he discovered a strange object at the center of the tribulation transcendence grounds, an object that he had never seen before.
The light of the sunset peered down through the clouds.
The clouds looked as if they had been scorched with a hint of red intermingled with the color gold, creating an extremely vibrant spectacle.
The Heavenly Court was also colored by this vibrant light, but on the Heaven Defying Dao Plaza, there was an even more vibrant object on the ground.
This was a crystal with six corners, glowing with golden and blue light.
This crystal was about the size of a hand and shaped like a lotus flower. It contained a mysterious power that even An Lin was unable to glean any information from it, and it seemed to possess the power of vitality and destruction.
An Lin thought for a moment to himself before his eyes turned snowy white.
Divine Inspection Technique!
Soon, a string of information appeared in his mind.
[Enlightenment Crystal of Life and Death: A crystal materialized from the residual dao intent ascension of countless tribulation transcendences from cultivators at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage. This is an item of divine-rank rarity.
[It can be worn to help its host observe the dao of yin, yang, life, and death.
[As the item has very strict conditions for materialization and has a very low probability of materializing, it has already been thirty thousand years since one was last born on this continent. ]
An Lin was ecstatic. He didn't think that he would encounter this type of treasure.
Most cultivators would find a place they liked to transcend their tribulations, and there were no groups who would transcend their tribulations one after the other at the same location. Even at the Heaven Defying Dao Plaza, which was the designated tribulation transcendence venue for the Heavenly Court, there would be a gap of a few years between each tribulation transcender, so never had there been a situation where cultivators piled to one spot and transcended their tribulations one after the other.
It was also due to this wave of cultivators transcending their tribulations that An Lin was able to obtain this Enlightenment Crystal of Life and Death. Not taking into account other matters, just the fact that this item had a divine-rank rarity made it a priceless object!
He eagerly refined the Enlightenment Crystal of Life and Death before wearing it on his own body.
As soon as he wore the object, it began to resonate with his body.
Rich life energy instantly swept through his entire body.
Not only did he develop a deeper understanding of the dao of life, but even his vitality had also received a boost. This was a wearable hack!
Ding Dong!
Right at this moment, the system suddenly flashed.
An Lin's heart jolted in shock, and he immediately opened the system to find that the cultivation method tab was flashing!
He eagerly opened the tab to find a new mission.
"Detected that host has just refined an Enlightenment Crystal of Life and Death and has the chance to observe the dao of yin, yang, life, and death.
"Now assigning the following yang-type cultivation method.
"Enter the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation and use an engulfment spell technique to absorb the essential power of yang from the Sun Tree.
"The specific method to do so would be to find the guardian of the Sun Tree, then engulf their energy through mouth-to-mouth contact...
"Mission Success: Receive stage one of the Yang God cultivation method.
"Mission Failure: Host's IQ will drop a hundred points.
"Time limit for completing the mission: One month.
"Note: Yin and yang type cultivation methods are extremely rare, so this mission cannot be rejected."
An Lin's eyes widened upon seeing this mission, and he stood rooted to the spot.
Even though he was supposed to be happy that a yin-yang cultivation method had finally popped up... But why the f*ck was it asking him to kiss the guardian of the Sun Tree?!
What about his moral principle?
Last time, the system had made him kiss the Zombie Goddess.
This time, he had to f*cking kiss some guardian of some Sun Tree.
Even more unbelievable was the fact that he could have rejected the mission involving the Zombie Goddess last time.
The exact words were: "The Yin God cultivation method is extremely rare and powerful, please value this opportunity."
Now, it had become: "Yin and yang type cultivation methods are extremely rare, so this mission cannot be rejected..."
F*ck off!
He had to f*cking lose a hundred IQ points if he failed this mission!
He was a super genius with an IQ of over a hundred and sixty, but if he failed, he would be reduced to a f*cking person with a mental disability! That was f*cking terrifying just to think about!
An Lin felt immense pressure on his shoulders.
He paused for a moment before returning to his dorm room. The one month period was already ticking down...
Within a dorm room.
Not his dorm room, this was Xu Xiaolan's dorm room.
Xu Xiaolan stared at An Lin with her clear eyes."You're telling me you have something very important that you have to do at the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation?"
An Lin nodded earnestly.
"What is it?" Xu Xiaolan was a little concerned.
"Well... I have to go and absorb the fundamental power of yang from the Sun Tree. It's quite a complicated procedure, so I won't explain it, " An Lin replied.
If he were to explain this, Xiaolan was probably going to explode.
Xu Xiaolan brushed some hair behind her intricate ear as she stared at the man before her with intensely."And you don't need any helpers?"
An Lin shook his head."There's no need for that. I have my invincible Gundams. At the very most, I'll take Little Tian with me and use his spatial powers to help me travel faster."
Xu Xiaolan heaved a faint sigh as her lips puckered with a lack of confidence."But... Will I really be ok? Two hundred thousand spirit stones per dish? I don't have the conviction to charge prices like that..."
That's right! Even though An Lin was heading to the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation, he couldn't just throw money-making out the window!
Hence, Xu Xiaolan was the only one that could inherit his restaurant.
An Lin held onto Xu Xiaolan's warm and slender hand with an earnest expression."I believe in you! Among all the people I know, you are the only one with cooking skills that can rival mine! I've sold so many, so why can't you? Also, please have more faith in the frying pan!"
A hint of confidence crept onto Xu Xiaolan's face at the mention of the frying pan.
An Lin continued, "I've already spread the word that your cooking skills are not inferior to mine, so business should continue as usual. If that old Chef God gets pissed off and wants to challenge you, just ignore him and I'll bash him for you when I get back!"
A smile appeared on Xu Xiaolan's face at the sight of An Lin's gentle and earnest expression, and she nodded lightly."Alright, An Lin. Then I'll be awaiting your return!"
Thus, An Lin's restaurant had an official successor.
The next morning, he set forth for the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation with Xue Zhantian in tow.
