A Cunning Pervert in the Cultivation World Chapter 357: Reward (3)

"...Eh?"

Li Feng paused, his movements ceasing.

He blinked. Once. Then, he blinked again.

His gaze remained fixed on the screen, and after rubbing his eyes vigorously, he looked a third time, just to be absolutely certain his mind wasn't deceiving him.

Yet, the outcome persisted, unwavering.

[Rank 6 Divine Pregnancy Pill!]

"...Could this be some sort of pill that alters destiny?"

A sliver of hope persisted within him, refusing to be extinguished entirely.

Perhaps the reality wasn't as straightforward as it appeared.

Maybe there existed a deeper, yet misunderstood, function at play.

With measured slowness, he proceeded to open the detailed description.

[Name: Divine Pregnancy Pill]

[Rank: 6]

[Description: Upon consumption by any woman at or below the Soul Formation Realm, this pill guarantees conception of a healthy child following intimacy between a man and woman.]

[Note: This pill is intrinsically linked to the host; only the host possesses the ability to impregnate any woman who consumes it. Furthermore, the offspring born will inherit the combined aptitudes of both parents, ensuring they will be no weaker than either side. In certain cases, they may even surpass their parents, possessing the potential to awaken even greater talents!]

[Remark: A legendary divine pill from antiquity, tragically lost to the annals of history after its creator faced a heavenly tribulation for forging such a reality-bending creation.]

"Blast it! It really is a pregnancy pill!"

Li Feng shot to his feet, a surge of anger coursing through him.

While it was undeniably a miraculous item, worthy of the title 'divine pill,' there was a significant caveat...

"What on earth was that alchemist thinking, concocting something like this?"

Li Feng voiced his frustrations aloud.

After all, the refinement of a pill possessing such caliber demanded extraordinary mastery.

The individual responsible for its creation could not have been a mere cultivator; they must have been a genuine powerhouse.

A sudden contemplation then dawned upon Li Feng.

He recognized that the higher one's cultivation ascended, the more challenging it became to procreate.

This was not new information to Li Feng; he had experienced it firsthand.

Despite countless encounters and indulging himself with numerous women, not a single one had ever conceived.

The creator of this pill must have been driven by a profound desperation for offspring.

Li Feng released a lengthy sigh and resumed his seat on the bed, his eyes lingering on the system notification.

"...I'm still far too young to become a father."

Even factoring in the combined years from his previous existence, he was well into his fifties.

Yet, internally, he still felt the vigor of youth.

So many endeavors remained unfulfilled, vast expanses of the world yet to be explored, and, naturally, an unending roster of women he had yet to encounter.

It wasn't a matter of disinterest in fatherhood.

Had it not been for this, he might not have so casually sown his seed with every woman he encountered.

Had any of them become pregnant, he would have accepted it as an unforeseen circumstance and provided support.

However, this pill presented an entirely different scenario.

Its utilization signified a deliberate choice to embrace parenthood.

He would be compelled to assume full accountability, knowing with absolute certainty that his partner would conceive his child.

Regardless of his proclivities, a stark distinction existed between an accidental conception and one that was guaranteed.

Li Feng reclined against the bed, his gaze fixed on the ceiling as the room settled into a profound silence.

He shook his head slowly.

"I'm overanalyzing this."

After all, possessing the pill did not necessitate its immediate application.

He could simply preserve it for future use, perhaps when he genuinely desired to have a child.

Sitting upright, he turned his attention to the system interface.

Despite his initial complaints regarding... this specific pill, its very existence, if revealed, would undoubtedly incite widespread conflict.

"In a world where lineage dictates everything... this item is tantamount to defying fate itself."

The guaranteed birth of a healthy and exceptionally gifted child from a powerful individual would translate to the perpetuation of that faction's dominance for another generation.

Should a cultivator at the Soul Formation realm be the mother, it essentially ensured the emergence of another Soul Formation Realm cultivator – one potentially more formidable than herself.

If such influential powers were to discover this pill, they would unquestionably spare no expense in its acquisition.

Although his understanding of the Soul Formation realm remained somewhat vague, he was certain it represented a tier significantly above Nascent Soul.

After a period of deliberation, Li Feng concluded that the situation was not as dire as he had initially perceived.

This pill effectively guaranteed him at least one descendant.

As for the recipient, he offered a casual shrug.

After all, he harbored no immediate intentions of bestowing it upon anyone.

With these thoughts coalescing, a subtle smile graced Li Feng's lips.

Ultimately, the outcome was far more favorable than his initial assessment suggested.

His attention then shifted to the final reward obtained from enduring Yue Lan's initial trial.

In addition to the substantial 20,000 Favor Points and ten complimentary Gacha draws, there was one last bonus, which was...

[x1 Wishing Card]

"A Wishing Card? What exactly is that?"

Li Feng tilted his head, a look of bewilderment crossing his face as he accessed its description.

[Name: Wishing Card]

[Rank: ???]

[With this card, the Host possesses the ability to summon their future self from an unspecified point in time, entirely dependent on the Host’s fortune! The duration of this summoned self’s presence is largely dictated by how far into the future they originate from!]

"...Hold on? I can summon myself?"

Li Feng blinked, unable to suppress the thought that the system truly was filled with all manner of peculiar features.

A look of intrigue soon graced his features.

After all, he harbored a significant curiosity regarding his future self's potential existence.

Although he had caught a fleeting glimpse of a possible future, that vision seemed to exclusively pertain to Yue Lan’s destiny.

What he genuinely desired to witness was his own eventual path.

Perhaps he could even seek counsel on decisions that might lead to future regrets... or indeed, embarrassing situations he ought to steer clear of.

However, one particular detail prompted him to tilt his head once more.

"But... an indeterminate time? What exactly does that entail?"

[Ding!]

[It signifies that the future iteration of the Host you are capable of summoning is entirely unpredictable! It could manifest as a version of you from merely an hour into the future, a century hence, or even a vastly more extended period!]

Li Feng cast a peculiar glance towards the system.

For what purpose, he mused, would he possibly require summoning a version of himself from a mere hour into the future? Merely to exchange pleasantries?

With a resigned sigh, he gave his head a shake.

"Ah well, regardless. The substantial quantity of Favor Points and the ten complimentary Gacha pulls are already more than satisfactory."

Li Feng found himself quite content with the rewards bestowed upon him.

He then resolved to investigate the new puppet blueprint in greater detail, alongside the updated dual cultivation section and the Dark Source.

Just as his eyes began to widen with astonishment at the newly revealed effects of the Sovereign Harmonious Guiding Art, the door softly clicked open, and Yue Lan entered.

Yue Lan’s face was adorned with a gentle smile as she carried a tray laden with steaming hot tea.

"Li Feng, do come and sample this mind-calming tea I just received from the Elder."
