The Undercover Villain Transmigrates, The Female Protagonists Are Worried

Time flies, another three months have passed...

Inside the thatched cottage, Qin Tianjiao flipped through the small book in his hand, pondering whether Chu Haoran would still challenge him.

"System, if this time passes and that Chu Tianjiao doesn't show up, how will my task be counted? If he doesn't come, the responsibility lies entirely with him!"

[Ding! If the opponent fails to challenge within the specified time, it is considered an automatic forfeit, and the host can directly receive the system reward.]

"Well... but it's not fair... the difference in rewards between defeating and killing is significant. I could have killed him for a big reward. I feel the system is lacking fairness and justice."

[Ding! Please wait, the system is evaluating...]

[Ding! Task reward updated... If the opponent fails to challenge within the specified time, the host can receive the maximum reward. The Son of Fortune will be listed as a dishonest person by this system, and a kill order will be issued.]

"Damn..."

The system's update made Qin Tianjiao couldn't help but exclaim how awesome it was!

Other systems always boast about their hosts, being domineering and threatening elimination...

Our system not only doesn't deduct rewards but also directly places a bounty on the Son of Fortune... It's so satisfying! I can use this system until the end of the universe!

Hehehe~ Only such a system is worthy of this Saint Child...

Qin Tianjiao exited the system and came to the quiet room, sitting cross-legged on the cushion at the center of the spiritual energy array.

Yesterday was a day worth celebrating!

Yesterday was also a day of sorrow!

He was only one step away from completing the breakthrough!

However, tragically, he couldn't break through and could only wander back and forth at the doorstep like the ancient sages...

Ridiculed harshly by the Jade Lake Sect Master all night, without entering the Unfettered Realm, he couldn't break through her defense!

Learning from the pain, Qin Tianjiao decided to go into seclusion!

The spiritual energy here had condensed into spiritual liquid.

The Five Elements Eight Trigrams mark on Qin Tianjiao's forehead began to rotate rapidly, continuously drawing in the abundant spiritual energy, like a thousand rivers flowing into the sea, merging into his Spirit Sea. The vast spiritual tide above the main peak of Jade Lake made numerous disciples choose to cultivate around the main peak.

The golden Spirit Sea shook its leaves continuously, combing through the incoming spiritual energy.

Every surge of the golden tide in the Spirit Sea produced a thunderous roar!

Qin Tianjiao's Spirit Sea was hundreds of times larger than that of a cultivator of the same realm! Even the Jade Lake Sect Master with the same Sacred Body was only half of his at the same realm!

The larger the Spirit Sea, the more spiritual energy it could store, the more profound the accumulation. However, correspondingly, each upgrade consumed countless times more than others!

Chu Haoran was right. Without Qin Tianjiao's background, even if he had a large Spirit Sea, without the necessary resources for advancement, it would be in vain.

*Crack... Crack...*

Qin Tianjiao cracked open a Flat Peach, keeping the pit... A massive amount of spiritual energy rushed into his Spirit Sea like a flood...

Boom!!!

Second level of the Life and Death Realm...

"Ah... I need to save these Flat Peaches... I should only use two as a last resort..."

*Crackle... Crackle...*

Qin Tianjiao took out the spiritual fruits given by the Five Poisons Sect's Elder and started eating them. Although they couldn't compare to Flat Peaches, they were still eight-hundred-year-old spiritual fruits, good enough for a bite...

*Tonk tonk tonk...*

A few fruits, followed by a few sips of the master's brewed spirit wine... A massive amount of spiritual energy kept pouring into Qin Tianjiao's Spirit Sea...

Time flew by...

Only a few days left until the end of the three-year agreement.

"Master... After our investigation, the Five Poisons Sect, Great Xia Dynasty, Jade Lake Sacred Land, and several ancient families of Great Xia are aggressively buying and hoarding our Spirit Treasures...

They are not buying from us but directly repurchasing those circulating in the market at high prices. There might be a significant conspiracy behind this!"

The speaker was none other than Mingyue, the Elder who served as the judge at the Tianjiao Conference three years ago.

As a junior brother of Qingfeng, his status was similar to that of a senior elder of the Jade Lake Sect, albeit with less authority because Qingfeng was a diligent person...

"Hmm... Could it be that these families have conspired together? But what's the point of doing this? When the time comes, we will have to pay them back with interest, so they will still lose..." Qingfeng said with some confusion.

"Master, regardless of their motives, the immediate priority is to make a decision. Should we stop selling the Spirit Treasures?" Mingyue asked.

In fact, he was against the whole Spirit Treasure affair and especially against letting a young man like Chu Haoran handle such a significant matter. But seeing millions and millions of Spirit Stones being transported to the Azure Cloud Sect's warehouse every day...

"No worries, calculate how many units we have sold in total, how much the principal plus interest will be. As long as our stock of Spirit Stones is sufficient, we have nothing to fear from any conspiracy. It shows that we are doing something that scares them...

You will be in charge of this matter, do not inform Chu Haoran. From now on, he will only be responsible for sales, and you will be in charge of supervision."

After contemplating for a while, Qingfeng said, the more urgent the other side was, the more it showed that the Azure Cloud Sect was doing the right thing!

The path to victory is bound to be rugged...

"Yes, Master!"

Chu Haoran was unaware that Qingfeng had made other arrangements. Besides purchasing elixirs, he was mostly in seclusion...

And his cultivation was advancing rapidly!

With only a few days left until the end of the year, he was determined to break through to the Great Completion of the Life and Death Realm!

Before New Year's Eve, he planned to reach the Jade Lake Sacred Land and battle Qin Tianjiao!

...

"Brother, are you also going to watch the battle at Jade Lake?"

"Yes, how can I miss such a grand event where Azure Cloud Sect's Chu Haoran challenges the top Tianjiao of the Great Wilderness?"

"This Chu Haoran is truly strong! Who knew him at the Tianjiao Conference three years ago? I heard he's already a peak expert in the Life and Death Realm!"

"Yes... it's a dog-eat-dog world... it took me three years just to reach Transcendent..."

Countless conversations like this took place. Numerous young cultivators, even some renowned experts, wanted to witness the New Year's grand battle of the young Tianjiao!

Three years ago, Qin Tianjiao emerged at the Tianjiao Conference, but since then, he had no achievements. On the other hand, Chu Haoran was unknown three years ago but now was known throughout the world!

In the quiet room where Qin Tianjiao was in seclusion, he sat cross-legged on the cushion, the mark on his forehead continuously rotating. With his head lowered, eyes closed, a faint snoring sound could be heard... There were even some glistening tears at the corners of his mouth...

The Innate Dao Fetus Sacred Body, a constitution that could cultivate even while eating, sleeping, or using the restroom!

At this moment, his golden Qi Sea had expanded hundreds of times compared to before his seclusion!

The Great Dao runes kept leaping on the sea's surface, resembling small fish leaping out of the sea. In the void above the Qi Sea, flashes of black thunder occasionally appeared!

These fish-like runes were hit by the black thunder, transforming back into runes and falling into the golden Qi Sea. Some transformed into a golden dragon hovering in the void!

At this point, there were already thousands of small golden dragons soaring above the Qi Sea...

When all these Great Dao runes leaped over the Dragon Gate, transforming into Great Dao dragons, Qin Tianjiao would break through Life and Death straight to freedom!

Qin Tianjiao slowly opened his eyes, and the power of the sun and moon in his Ancient Dual Pupils shone brightly, embodying both life and destruction!

Ah, the effects of the Spirit Medicine given by the Elder are still not enough. If only there were treasures that could ripen Spirit Medicine!
