PROLOGUE

Six again?

Young Master, you already have four horse carriages.

Mine is still in the relay station.

Shaking dice

also requires luck.

I am very lucky.

Why do I always get one then?

Because you're stupid.

Wang Lu

is very friendly with Hai Yunfan lately.

However, he keeps ordering you around.

Are you forever going to be

a study assistant?

Don't worry. Even though you're stupid,

the design of Taoyuan Village is not

based on intelligence quotient, but emotional quotient.

The best way

to measure emotional quotient

is not in how many people you please,

but in how you face those who hate you.

I'm guessing that this designer must be

someone who's not very popular in Lingjian Sect.

Chief.

Lots of documents require your signature before they can be executed.

If you don't do the work, the entire village cannot operate.

-That's right, Chief. -Chief.

-Chief. -Chief.

-Come out. -What's with the fuss? Why is it so loud?

Chief has personal matters. He has no time for you.

Scram, all of you!

-Let's go. -Let's go.

I'm so infuriated.

"I know who burned your house."

They figured it out so soon?

Are you looking for me?

Were you the one

who threw this letter away?

Who exactly is the arsonist?

The arsonist

wants to marry her cousin.

Sir, why do you say that?

I don't get it.

In that case,

I might not be able to help.

Goodbye.

Sir.

Please wait, sir.

So?

What did you find out after staying in Chief's house for so long?

Well, based on what you said,

I've already gotten a breakthrough.

However, the next thing I'm going to do

might interrupt Wen Bao's quest chain.

Or even more people.

You won't blame me, right?

Tell me about it.

This is the situation.

Today, after a serious talk at Liu Erniang's home,

I finally figured it out.

In conclusion, Liu Erniang likes her cousin, Chief.

That's why she burned her own house

to find an excuse to stay in Chief's home.

This caused Chief's wife to be jealous of her and vice versa.

And Chief is caught in between them.

It's just a story of being in a dilemma.

Xiaohai.

You're so young.

But you're already helping to mediate relationship problems

of middle-aged people.

You surely have a lot of admirers.

You must be joking, Wang Lu.

However, it's not complicated at all.

It's also easy to resolve.

The easiest way to resolve it

is to gather all the villagers

to build the house together.

If Liu Erniang has a house,

she has no reason to stay at Chief's house anymore.

She can move back to her house and the problem is solved.

Out of 100 points for this quest,

you might only get 40 points at most.

That is just a temporary solution.

Actually, I've long thought of a better way to deal with Chief.

Do you want to hear it?

Go ahead, Wang Lu.

It takes no effort at all.

I wonder what kind of treasure is inside.

Farewell.

Sir.

You...

That's my...

Wang Lu!

Thank you.

That man's fetish is quite unique.

But he's just in time.

TAOYUAN VILLAGE

However,

you made Zhu Qin help Chief to empty his chamber pot.

Isn't that too filthy?

How would I know it would smell so bad?

Besides, he's lucky enough

to not get punished for cheating.

I really hope I won't be enemies with you in this lifetime.

Xiaohai, don't worry. You're so gentle.

Even if you're my enemy,

I'll also be gentle to you.

Actually, Wang Lu,

I came to say goodbye.

Chief has agreed to let me leave the village.

Congratulations.

You must be the first person to leave Taoyuan Village.

Your prize must be really nice.

I'll be happy if someone else says that.

Since it's you, you must be laughing at me.

With your wits,

I know that you'll be able to leave on the first day.

You're not making any moves.

You want to pass in flying colors, right?

You're thinking too much.

I have obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I wish you success.

However, before I leave,

I have a piece of heartfelt advice.

I hope you won't mind.

Go ahead.

Your study assistant

might be named Zhong, which means loyal,

yet he's naturally traitorous.

And his thoughts are getting wilder lately.

I'm afraid he won't stay with you forever.

I hope I'm thinking too much.

Wang Lu, I'm glad to have met you.

See you at the finish line.

Okay, wait for me at the finish line.

We'll still be co-disciples in the future.

Well, those are Young Master's thoughts.

By the way, I told you last time

about the quest for Butcher Zhang and Tailor Li. Did you do it?

I did.

I did, but they are too slow to be instigated.

Does Wang Lu have any new quests lately?

In the past few days,

he didn't do anything aside from waiting.

I don't know what he's thinking either.

He hasn't done anything in a month.

I think he has already exhausted his talents.

Otherwise, he won't let Hai Yunfan leave the village alone.

And you.

I heard...

I heard things are going smoothly for you lately.

Everything is going well at school,

but I don't get why Young Master insisted I stay.

You really don't know why?

I think

he wants to cut off your connections,

so that you'll be his study assistant forever.

Your study assistant

might be named Zhong, which means loyal,

yet he's naturally traitorous.

And his thoughts are getting wilder lately.

I'm afraid he won't stay with you forever.

Is it because my overpowering personality shows

and that made others think I don't treat Wang Zhong well,

so Xiaohai thought too much about it?

Should I be nicer to him?

There you are. Are you tired? Do you want to rest?

Have you completed the quest?

Yes.

Wang Zhong, are you angry?

I often say you're stupid, but I was just kidding.

Don't mind it, okay?

Fine.

Fine, I'll change.

Let me ask you something.

Are you trying to ruin my future

by being your servant forever? Is that why you insisted on me staying?

I knew it.

Since I was little, you've never treated me as a human being.

I just never thought you'd be so cruel to me

for the sake of your vanity.

You should know what crossing the Jin Bridge means.

It means I have potential too.

I can cultivate immortality just like you.

I never thought

you would ruin my future

just so I will remain as your servant.

Young Master.

This kowtow

is for taking me in.

This kowtow

is for teaching me.

And this kowtow

is for taking me to the Jin Bridge.

From now on,

I don't owe you anything.

Wang Zhong.

You're in such a hurry to pack.

Someone must be waiting for you outside.

Wang Lu.

You don't treat me as a human being,

but someone else does.

He's all grown up and thinks highly of himself.

I can't make him stay anymore.

I even prepared a bunch of strategies for you.

THE WATER DISSIPATED AFTER THE RAIN AND THE LAKE IS VERY CLEAR...

You've been with me for seven years.

But I am no better than a stranger.

It's okay. Never mind.

I've done my preparations.

It's showtime.

-And this? -You don't want it?

Isn't that Wang Lu?

He didn't do anything in Taoyuan Village for the past few days.

He didn't do anything?

Hai Yunfan, the first to complete the quest, did so due to his guidance.

But all the single quests in the village have been initiated.

What else can he do even if his isolation cultivation ends?

Even so, he's still Wang Lu.

Let's take a look.

Mrs. Huang, let me help you. Rest for a while.

-All right, thank you. -All right.

The quest for Mrs. Huang was completed.

She wouldn't acknowledge anyone as her godson anymore.

Why is he carrying water for her?

Young man, here. Have some water.

Mrs. Huang, do you want me to give this water to your son?

Sure.

-Snow turns rivers and mountains white. -"Snow turns rivers and mountains white."

-It turns my well into a black hole. -"It turns my well into a black hole."

-Yellow dogs turn white in the snow. -"Yellow dogs turn white in the snow."

-Sir, this is from Mrs. Huang. -"White dogs look bloated in the snow."

Okay, thank you.

Hadn't his study assistant completed Scholar Huang's quest already?

The one who left this morning.

Could Scholar Huang have a hidden quest?

Hey, what are you doing?

Sir, this couplet has bothered you for half a month.

I finished it for you. Please check.

He's that incredible?

The rhythm is great.

The words are elegant. It's very moving.

Amazing. You're amazing.

It's such a shame.

I've stopped accepting students.

Otherwise, I'd take you in.

There's no need, sir.

You don't need to do so.

-However, I have a small request. -All right.

Fang.

Fang.

My feelings for you are true.

Fang, I'm begging you.

Give me another chance.

-Fang. -Scram!

What are you looking at?

Scram, all of you!

Okay, don't be mad.

I'll visit you again tomorrow.

Fang has already beaten up over ten of her suitors badly.

-Wang Lu. -Can Wang Lu get her?

-Fang. -Scram!

I have Scholar Huang's sweat handkerchief.

But I want to use it in exchange for your signature steamed meat with rice flour.

Sure.

So Fang has a crush on Scholar Huang.

I see.

MEDICINE, 1

CLOTH, 1

WINE, 1

MAKEUP, 1

He completed it.

-He's that incredible? -He's that incredible?

He has completed the quests of 120 people

by connecting all the clues.

Is there a difference if he did that?

He gets an additional drumstick.

Why didn't I think of that?

Come out.

How do you know there's one more person?

The quests in the entire village seem independent from each other.

However, you can use them to complete a story.

As long as you analyze it carefully,

you'll realize

that there's only one goal in these quests.

To find the hidden person.

That's you.

That's right.

The final challenge starts now.

Fulfill the wish of the 121st person.

Tell me. What is your wish?

It's very simple. Make me happy.

That simple?

This is for you.

You think too much.

Tell me if you were happy just now.

I was happy.

I can't say you cheated.

Go, you've passed.

Even if I don't know who you are,

but you asked me to make you happy.

That means you're unhappy.

I want to share a story with you.

Do you know how I came here?

I met a goddess.

She was exceptionally beautiful.

Her elegance deeply attracted me,

but she said I don't have enough talent.

There's only a minimal chance for me to succeed in cultivating immortality.

However, she encouraged me

and made me go on until today.

She told me that I would surely succeed if I work hard.

Why don't I remember encouraging him?

I still remember.

She guided me using a true or false question.

Look at you.

You say you're unhappy,

but you actually smile easily.

So be happy.

I'll get going. Good luck.

You punk.

The challenges ahead will only get more difficult.

Be careful.

I'm looking forward to see you in the mountain.

It has been hundreds of years since Lingjian Sect

has seen someone as interesting as you.

How's the Bingfeng Valley challenge going on?

Sect Leader.

The first challenger who came out of Taoyuan Village

has stayed over ten days in the Bingfeng Valley.

There were many dangers along the way,

but since he got the cursed doll reward

and he's naturally smart,

you can say that he was not in any real danger.

I think he's quite a budding talent.

How about the others?

There were a few challengers who luckily found a shortcut.

Even though they started a bit late,

they should be able to catch up soon.

There seems to be someone ahead.

Xiao...

Mr. Hai Yunfan.

Hai Yunfan.

If I remember correctly,

you were the first to leave Taoyuan Village.

Why are you still here?

I'm not that bright.

I'm not as fated for immortality as you.

Go ahead, Zhu Qin.

I am humbled.

I am humbled.

Hai Yunfan, to be honest,

the first time I saw you,

I knew you were extraordinary,

impressive

and dying.

My mistake.

I wanted to say

that the dense Wang Lu has always come between us.

Because of him, we weren't able to become close.

This valley is exceedingly harsh.

Isn't it better for us to team up?

I've encountered some difficulties earlier.

So, I'm not in a good condition.

I can't drag you down from winning.

What did you encounter?

You were the first one to leave Taoyuan Village.

You must have gotten a generous reward, right?

Not really.

Just some ordinary consumables.

It's fine if you don't want to travel together.

Just leave your treasure.

What kind of monster is this?

This is a mutant from the Xiyi Continent,

Wangyue Rhino.

A third-tier level nine monster.

Hide quickly.

Third-tier level nine?

Isn't that the same as a cultivator in Foundation Establishment Stage?

Foundation Establishment Stage?

Cursed doll.

Cursed doll.

Cursed doll.

Wait.

Hai Yunfan, it is too strong.

Leave it to us.

Wang Zhong, join me.

That challenger earlier

used the cursed doll thrice.

Its power should already be reduced to second-tier level one now.

What's going on now?

Which fool tampered with my Bingfeng Valley?

Isn't the third-tier level nine Wangyue Rhino enough?

Does it have to be raised to fourth-tier level two?

And kill a cultivator in Foundation Establishment Stage with one stomp?

The only person aside from the sect leader who has the authority

to change to Immortality Map is...

Wang Wu!

Get here right now!

What did you do?

Sect Leader.

You've finally changed your mind.

Give me overtime fees.

You told me before

that you'll make changes to make it more humane.

Is this the humane changes you were talking about?

Even I can't help you this time.

Nice.

The fight is quite intense.

When the pretty boy, Hai Yunfan was the only challenger,

this rhinoceros was in third-tier level nine.

Now that the three of them formed a team,

the monster's level would naturally increase a bit.

As they say, more people means more power.

What kind of logic is that?

The more the challengers,

-the higher the monster's level will be? -That's right.

In the next challenges,

I've added this loving design based on the "more people, more power" logic.

From now on, the Immortality Map

can isolate the possibility of being beaten by sheer numbers.

This way, our humane policy will reach new heights.

So? Do you agree with me now?

Sect Leader.

I definitely won't clean up the mess for Wang Wu anymore.

Figure it out yourself.

What a bunch of undisciplined people.

Fine, there's no hope for them.

After the three of them teamed up together,

they can't even win against a minor monster.

They can just die in the cold.

Wang Wu.

They're ordinary people without any immortal cultivation.

How can they increase their power in such a short span of time?

I think these guys have potential.

If they don't stand a chance,

wouldn't the Immortality Conference be in vain?

Don't worry.

Someone will surely pass.

And that person

is so powerful that no force can stop him.

Are you talking about...

What do you think?

CERTIFICATE OF MERIT

The reward for this challenge.

Why do you think I designed the Taoyuan Village challenge?

It's to give these punks random rewards.

Ask yourselves.

All these years, we couldn't get any new disciples.

Isn't it because the monster in Bingfeng Valley is too powerful?

And you're blaming me?

Let me ask you again.

Are those equipments the treasures from Wuxiang Peak?

I'm so poor that I need to rob people.

How can I use my own money?

Of course I'll use the treasures in our vault.

Are you sure that...

Yes.

He has arrived. Look.

Isn't this map too random?

What is that?

Xiaohai.

Be careful.

You...

-Luyun shoes? -Are you nuts?

That's a fifth-tier immortality treasure.

How can you just let anyone use it?

Blame him.

He wouldn't let me near the vault.

I can only use magic to let treasures randomly fall down.

Who knew an immortality treasure would be among them.

I think

this person definitely has unimaginable points and character.

-You're still talking? -I'll stop.

Look.

How are you doing?

Wang Lu, you ran so fast.

So this is an object for speed.

-Xingchen Saber? My goodness. -Xingchen Saber?

Isn't that the sixth-tier immortality treasure that Sect Leader usually uses?

How can such a valuable object end up in his hands?

Someone without any immortality cultivation shouldn't be able to use it.

I'm more curious than all of you.

If you don't clean up this mess, I'll...

Wang Wu!

Are you kidding me?

I passed the challenge in one strike?

This must be at least an Orange weapon.

Such a powerful weapon can just be given to an outsider?

I really like

the designer of this game.

A one-time-use weapon?

My gosh!

You've disintegrated.

You died an awful death.

What will I tell the sect leader when I go back?

I'll blame it on someone else.

Liu Xian?

No, he's too smart.

Hua Yun?

Hua Yun is good. She's stupid enough.

What did you do?

What's wrong with you?

You want to ruin Bingfeng Valley, Chizhue Mountain, Youming Path and Qingyun Peak?

Will you let others participate or not?

I passed the challenge in one strike?

Not only you, everyone passed.

You passed all four challenges in one strike.

Do you think you're so great now?

Should I have a grand celebration for you?

So instead of the game designer,

I designed that strike myself.

-Awesome. -"Awesome"?

How did I come up with the idea to design this arduous but fruitless challenge?

What?

You're the designer of the Immortality Map?

You punk.

How else can you wield

the Xingchen Saber, a sixth-tier immortality treasure?

What are you doing?

Hey.

Respect yourself.

The Sect Leader's Golden Seal is with you? I knew it.

How else could you wield the immortality treasure?

There were so many treasures to choose from,

yet you chose this.

I exchanged this with my hard-earned points.

That's why I'm announcing that there was an anomaly in the challenge.

I'll take the tool back.

Just like that?

I'm holding the Sect Leader's Golden Seal.

It's like I'm the Sect Leader himself.

The imperial grounds

and the treasure vault.

I want you to obey me today.

Hey.

She's crazy.

Who the hell are you?

You snatched away my...

Sect Leader's Golden Seal?

Feng Yin, do you know it was so dangerous earlier?

When I passed by Bingfeng Peak, I saw a lady in black.

She took your Golden Seal. I followed her all this way.

I didn't expect that you'd get it from her.

Excellent skills.

Don't misplace things again. I'll put that away for you.

Stop.

I wouldn't lose my Golden Seal.

You should find your lost virtue instead.

Based on my initial calculations,

due to the defect in your design for the Taoyuan Village,

these are the current damages.

The four abodes are wrecked.

The Xingchen Saber, a sixth-tier immortality treasure

is completely destroyed.

The Sword Spirit, Yin Shuang is gravely injured.

The Luyun Shoes, a fifth-tier immortality treasure, is greatly damaged.

The Tool Spirit, Lu Yun'er locked herself up.

And other miscellaneous incidents.

The total damage

in top-grade spirit stones is 200,000 pieces.

This is already 90 percent off based on our internal sect discount.

Don't bargain with me.

Based on your current salary,

it's about 20 years' worth.

In the next 20 years, you won't have any salary then.

Feng Yin.

I won't let you go even if I turn into a ghost.

When you turn into a ghost, think carefully.

Did you turn out this way because of me?

If you don't give me my salary, I'll rob people down the mountain.

I only have this life, no next life.

I'll support you.

If you really want to increase our sect's wealth,

I'll feel really glad.

If you need it,

I can even make letters of marque and reprisal for you.

Goodbye.

You lost your virtue too?

Go to the Xuanyun Hall at once.

No.

If you're late for 15 minutes, you're fined with another year's salary.

Feng Yin, this way, please.

XUANYUN HALL

Didn't they agree that those who pass the Immortality Path would be their disciple?

Why are they adding another challenge?

Lingjian Sect is so fussy.

Wang Lu, what are you thinking?

I'm thinking about which master I should choose later.

The interview is very simple.

Please pass through this Qiankun Mirror one by one.

Place your hand on top of it for a moment.

The Qiankun Mirror will determine your capability and Spiritual Root.

Let's start.
