Quest Maker of Soul Land

Willingly dying at the hands of his only teacher to repay all his debt, Jason simultaneously plans his reincarnation and finds himself in the body of an 'evil' cultivator named Ja Sun wanted by one of the three strongest power of the Douluo Continent— Spirit Hall. But hope isn't lost. His trait from his previous life never left his side and now he will make missions in the Douluo Continent and live another life, this time, a life not owed to anybody. *** Note: I do not own the cover art. Timeline: The events of this fanfics take place eleven years before the start of the main novel. Of course, I do not own the Douluo Dalu universe. Since I am writing about the timeline never covered in the major timeline to completion, many things may be a part of the fanfiction but not mentioned in canon. *** Ps: After seeing a few complaints, I realized to add two warnings. The mc is definitely a trained fighter and not innocent since he can kill but he doesn't go around killing that much even when others love to do it. I know, it's strange since it's a cn novel but honestly we have enough men who love to cut roots. And, the character of the individuals from main novel will be slightly AU. For instance, Xiao Wu would only hug and keep chirping Ge, Ge. (Spoilers) The fem mc and others, well, I tried to put more personality, make their tongues sharper but it turned out AU. I accept that and realized that it needed to be mentioned, too. Hope you all enjoy the fanfic. *** Read 60 advance chapters and support the novel @ Patre on.com/Fanharem

***:

There were many things the couple had considered. First, Ah Yin's cultivation remarkably increased near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well but it wasn't as exaggerated as a thousandfold increment. After all, she was no longer a spirit beast even if her lineage was the same. Still, given that they had three weeks, Ah Yin wished to sneak into that location or at least close to the pond to cultivate for a few hours every day.

Understandably, this was a hard task to achieve. Aside from the hourly tempering in the poison under Bibi Dong's supervision to improve the body using poison instead of medicine, she also had the task of going out with Jun'er to scout their surroundings daily. And with the use of Tang Yuehua's domain, there was another item in her daily task. The last one, Ah Yin was actually looking forward to. After all, Tang Yuehua's Calm Circle would help improve their progress towards the Realm of Self.

Compared to her, Ja Sun was practically free now that Tang Yuehua can cultivate on her own. He had a fruitful experience in combat and relatively high accomplishment that even Bibi Dong looked up to him somewhat. His standing in the group, however, remained at the bottom which ensured that anyone would think thrice before asking for his help. After all, you ask for Ja Sun, his insults would follow, too. Now that Tang Yuehua could be considered a Spirit Master without any blockade in her path, even she wasn't safe anymore.

So, Ja Sun could sneak away and observe the surroundings of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to understand the nature of the array.

For a few days, there was one method feasible for Ah Yin and Ja Sun to be free relatively from their other responsibilities in the group. It was to make others busy. Especially the one who called the shots— Bibi Dong.

"What... is this?"

For reasons known only to Ah Yin, she proposed Ja Sun to be the one who dealt with Bibi Dong.

Astonished, in the tent, Bibi Dong questioned while looking at the pure white stalk extending to a lovely rose. The stem floated without any spiritual pressure and a sense of impending demise loomed whenever Bibi Dong gazed at this flower. A thought already in her mind but she couldn't confirm it or name it. Unlike Ja Sun, Bibi Dong wasn't a pursuer of odd knowledge, after all. Her situation wouldn't allow it.

"This is... an Immortal Herb. And a venomous one, to be exact: Bloody Swan Kiss. Its poison is simply taking one aspect of the body to the extreme and that is excitement. A single drop of poison extracted from the herb can cull a town in the manner that everyone infected would grow violent and aggressive. No, if stated in a detailed manner then—"

"Pure ecstasy takes over the body that corrodes rationality and it results in conflicts within but at a disastrous pace and scale. Not only that, the poison can be carried over by the fluids of the infected. In case of non-consenting acts of... body, the innocent victims will also be infected. A child will be able to attack an adult... I do recall seeing such a poison in the passing in the records of the Spirit Hall." Bibi Dong completed what Ja Sun had in mind and looked curious instead of horrified.

"Where did you find it?"

A question that Ja Sun expected long ago.

"Within the miasma. No, let me rephrase myself, the miasma actually avoided the rose so it was a lucky encounter. Ah Yin and I cannot use it so—"

A sly expression entered Bibi Dong's gaze as she completed his sentence once again, "So you want to gift this to me?"

Ja Sun's lips twitched. Bibi Dong is hard to deal with, which he already understood. She had a few mysteries, some he understood, while a few still made him scratch his head curiously.

"No... we were hoping that we could trade this herb with you. Then we would divide the gains between ourselves."

"Then shouldn't Ah Yin be present in this trade?" Bibi Dong inquired.

"She let me represent her interests, too," Ja Sun replied calmly.

"I didn't know you both already trusted each other this much, congratulations," Bibi Dong smiled but something told Ja Sun that her comment seemed more personal than usual.

He once again took a look at the mission.

[Objective: Successfully Trade the 6th Grade Bloody Swan Kiss for Bibi Dong's Life-support Storage Essence Tool and pump your fist privately in an enclosed location.

Mission Rank: E

Rewards: Deadly Plants

Time Limit: 3 hours.]

Ja Sun had a similar essence tool that could support life but it was for temporary use only and may end up damaging the Immortal Herbs. All the storage rings, belts, and pouches he had in possession came from looting except the blood-binding ring in his hand that came from Qian Daoliu. But clearly, this kind of ring was extremely hard to come by or he couldn't have easily robbed storage spirit tools.

Although the mission was ranked E, Ja Sun knew that it wouldn't be as easy as one of the easiest S-ranked missions he had the fortune of completing successfully.

"Well, it's nothing much," Ja Sun replied.

Bibi Dong nodded. Both of them sat cross-legged in front of each other. After a moment of silence and observing the Bloody Swan Kiss in Ja Sun's hand, Bibi Dong finally spoke up.

"You suppose that the venom is useful to the mixed poison generated by Death Spider Emperor but if the records are correct then even I wouldn't survive absorbing this herb successfully. So... what would you want for something so useless to the current me?" She smiled calmly. The Bloody Swan Kiss was definitely useful to her. It may even bring her unknown yet pleasant benefits due to its toxic nature, but since Ja Sun approached this situation as a way of trade then she didn't mind bringing her game on the table.

The best way to gain profit in a barter exchange was by lowering the value of the goods held by the opposite party.

However, much to Bibi Dong's unawareness, Ja Sun was already experienced in absorbing natural treasures into his body despite its difficulty. He even had the best refining array for it— War God's Cauldron.

Smilingly, Ja Sun continued, "Of course, I wouldn't let you risk your life unknowingly." He continued with a sincere expression, "I have experience in this method. An array I learned from the notes taken from Lou Gao back in Gengxin City. It allows a spirit master to absorb essence from heavenly treasures and develop the body's foundation. Of course, there are differences between a heavenly mineral and an Immortal Herb, but with Ah Yin next to us, I have complete confidence in assisting you."

"So..." Bibi Dong hummed, "I am to trust you with my life?"

She observed Ja Sun with her eyes narrowed and thoughts unknown yet unfazed by the doubt that would be in every rational individual when proposed such a fatal idea, Ja Sun sighed softly and replied with an incomprehensible expression, "Did I disappoint you before?"

While saying so, he touched the left stump over his shoulder and revealed a melancholic expression.

Bibi Dong's lips trembled for a moment and she scowled, "Son of a bitch, you know it's unfair."

However, carefully hiding the crafty glint in his gaze, Ja Sun continued, "What is?"

"This!" Bibi Dong shouted, furious and frustrated, no longer being able to act as a trader since Ja Sun made it personal. "You just cannot expect my sympathy for a lost arm."

"I'm not asking for sympathy," Ja Sun frowned.

'Only the resulting profit gained from it.' He added internally.

Bibi Dong clenched her jaws and asked once again.

"What do you want to trade for it?" She practically hissed.

"Your life-supporting Storage Essence Tool," Ja Sun remarked calmly and Bibi Dong fell stunned.

"That's it?"

"That's it."

This deal... was a little too good. After all, Spirit Hall had a few more such storage spirit tools still in its vault.

However, she could not have comprehended that Ja Sun and Ah Yin didn't want to involve Qian Daoliu and extensively the Spirit Hall for such a Heavenly piece of land. It was best to solve their issues within themselves. After all, the poisonous fog already acted like an effective cloak for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

However, still doubtful, Bibi Dong inquired, "And only my storage ring? Nothing that's within it, right?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because I don't have one of those," Ja Sun replied.

"You used your left arm as an excuse for just a simple offer?" Bibi Dong frowned.

Ja Sun nodded before hesitating and shaking his head, "Well, I admit... that I wanted you to still owe me a few more favors."

"Why?" She inquired curiously.

"I just felt like it," He smiled. Actually, it wouldn't hurt if he made Bibi Dong feel like she owed him even more.

"You already have the Supreme Pontiff's Writ. What more do you wish to achieve?"

"Can't it just be a personal favor? Instead of a favor to the Successor of the Spirit Hall, you, as an individual would owe me one."

"So you would have the favor of both, the Successor of the Spirit Hall and Bibi Dong?" She chuckled for a moment and Ja Sun nodded.

"Don't let Ah Yin hear this or she will be mad at you for weeks," Bibi Dong shook her head.

"Not really," Ja Sun shrugged and Bibi Dong flinched for a moment. Just for a moment though and then acted as if nothing happened. Still, she nodded.

"Fine, deal. But you cannot use your left arm as an excuse against me for a year."

"So... if I would have asked for anything else, even more than your storage ring, using my arm as an excuse, I would have been successful?" Ja Sun raised his eyebrow.

However, with a smile, Bibi Dong took out a platinum ring from her blood-binding Storage Essence Tool and tossed it towards Ja Sun, saying, "You can try it next year and observe the results."

'Huh, nice to know... maybe I can finally have her give me a massage or something,' Ja Sun nodded.

"Do you wish to absorb this Bloody Swan Kiss now?" Ja Sun inquired.

"Will it take long?"

"Possibly a week," Ja Sun easily extended a day's work to a week. Any capable man should be able to do such a thing if he wishes to continue the art of laziness.

"Then let me relay a few instructions to others then we can begin. Oh, by the way, did you find anything else inside the fog?" She inquired as Ja Sun nodded.

"The Bloody Swan Kiss was protected by a 10000-year-old Nine Point Jade Serpent whom I lured away with the illusion of my skull bone."

Bibi Dong accepted the explanation and left the tent while Ja Sun pumped his fist and exchanged the rewards only for it to be a small tome regarding more deadly herbs.

---

"Nnngh," A soft groan echoed but unlike the sound of someone groaning like a bum while waking up from a beauty sleep, this seemed to be much... sweeter.

Outside the tent, red-faced, everyone except Ah Yin, Bibi Dong, and Ja Sun sat quietly with the campfire illuminating their expressions with its flickering flames.

"He just has one hand, right?" Oscar inquired once again. Despite Jun'er's kinks and how wild she acts when they get their personal moments, such illicit moans are hard to come by.

"And there are two women inside. With how the sounds are... I think that bastard is only focusing on Teacher and leaving our Little Yin to feel like a third wheel," Xie Xan traced his chin and replied thoughtfully. It was at this moment two fists landed on the back of their heads. It was Hu Lana, equally embarrassed despite her experience. After all... there were three individuals inside the tent. And even though Bibi Dong specified that this was going to be a cultivation session, she left out which kind of session it would be that ended up fuelling the group's wildest imagination.

"If teacher finds out what the two are you speaking your life will be difficult," Hu Lana hissed as Oscar and Xie Xan rubbed the back of their heads with a sour expression.

"Come on, Lana, aren't you the least bit curious how Ka-ul managed to... you know, persuade two of them to agree? I thought that this was only prevalent in noble families and upper sects," Xie Xan mumbled and Hu Lana flinched. She definitely was curious.

"You're all perverts!" Liu Erlong turned to her side, lying on a warm mattress as everyone gazed at her back.

"Um, actually it's not too strange. Even my father had three wives, each from the Strength, Speed, and the Attack Clan respectively..." Yuehua pursed her lips, barely able to keep a straight expression.

"Three?!" Jun'er gasped, "You must have like... a dozens of cousins, right?"

"Is that your question?" Hu Lana gazed at Jun'er strangely.

"I was just curious," Jun'er pouted and hugged Oscar as another long and dragging moan filled with their surrounding.

"Anyway," Yuehua coughed, "I do have a lot of cousins. But only two half-brothers that you all have met. Tang Xiao and Tang Hao."

They nodded. It was an effort to distract themself from the noise but even Liu Erlong ended up groaning in frustration and sat up.

"What are you guys talking about?" She inquired in a grunt.

"Relatives," Xie Xan replied.

"Great," Liu Erlong rolled her eyes. It could be said that in this group... only Yuehua and Liu Erlong had parents still alive, only their fathers. One respected her father enough and the other one hated him to his core.

"Not parents, just siblings and stuff. Check it out, I used to have a cousin named Martinez in Nuoding City. He had this great sandwich recipe that included a ton of spicy mixture called Slasa."

"Oh, what happened to him?" Liu Erlong inquired.

"He... died hunting a spirit beast," Oscar sighed and left everyone, including Jun'er, speechless. Why praise a dead man so eagerly? They questioned.

"Mmmgh!" A whimper from the tent only made things worse.

"So... you're saying that you don't mind this at all but got offended that I praised a flower instead?" Ja Sun inquired once again as Ah Yin looked at him strangely.

"My answer will be the same even if you ask me a hundred times," she stated softly before focusing on the task at hand. Compared to her, Ja Sun was having an easier time because of the beautiful green pendant under his clothes constantly supplying him with enough Spirit Energy to maintain a dark golden Cauldron-shaped array surrounding Bibi Dong. Within the range of the cauldron, Bibi Dong's body was filled with sweat. Instead of a pungent and musky scent, she actually gave off a sickeningly sweet scent not because of her own bodily difference but due to the white rose hovering above her head with a soft pink stream of mist continuously escaping and entering Bibi Dong's body.

Her clothes stuck to her curves and her hair was completely wet. Despite biting her lips, she would let out moans, and just like how they sounded, the sensation coursing through her body wasn't too different.

Pleasure and unbridled excitement. It filled her body and threatened to corrode one firm lock that she didn't want to be destroyed just yet, and for the safety of those around her, she continuously absorbed all the poison in her body with the purple spider web pattern flashing on her forehead like the continuous beat of her heart. She also felt Ah Yin's pure life-attributed spirit energy helping her countering the effects of the poison.

If she had enough space to think something else then it would only be filled with shock. Not because of how quickly her spirit energy was growing, but because her stubborn thoughts regarding the Arrays as a profession now crumbled into bits and pieces as she felt the benefits first hand.

Her entire body seemed to be within a hot furnace that lit her body in flames but it was comfortable and not painful at all. Her entire body glowed in a warm pink haze as she absorbed the effects of the Bloody Swan Kiss when...

It stopped.

Breathless yet euphoric as all the poison entered her system seamlessly and promoted the growth of her body and Spirit Energy simultaneously, Bibi Dong's eyes opened to see Ja Sun's tired expression. Ah Yin was relatively fine.

The Bloody Swan Kiss still wasn't fully absorbed. Its effects were potent even when compared to a 9th Grade Immortal Herb. After all, this was one of the deadliest poisonous herbs to ever exist.

"I..." Bibi Dong parted her lips before realizing her own situation. She looked down. Clothes stuck so close that she might not even wear anything in the first place but for the moment, she didn't mind it.

"Thank you," Bibi Dong whispered sincerely and cupped her fists, "The effects of the Bloody Swan Kiss are truly a heavenly experience. Although its effects are the greatest on the Death Spider Emperor and my body's resistance to deadlier poison, the immediate effect on my spirit energy is also quite a pleasant surprise. I think... I can breakthrough two ranks if I absorb the Bloody Swan Kiss entirely and reach rank 69."

"If my Spirit Energy was enough, I would have helped you in absorbing all of it in a day. But we can only go through it slowly," Ja Sun sighed in exhaustion. He did have plenty of Spirit Energy to spare, but this way, Ah Yin and he could separately visit the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well again.

Bibi Dong nodded before hesitating.

"Could you leave?"

Ja Sun glanced at Ah Yin and inquired, "Do you?"

"No, I'm a little tired," she shook her head.

"Me, too," Ja Sun nodded and then looked at Bibi Dong whose lips twitched. She couldn't just go out looking like this but she didn't have the nerve to actually make Ah Yin and Ja Sun go out after all their help.

"Then turn around!" Bibi Dong clenched her jaws as the couple in front of her shrugged casually and turned around. However, still fearful of Ja Sun's tendencies, Bibi Dong quickly set a large sheet as a curtain and finally removed her clothes before taking out a towel to dry herself.

The effects of the Bloody Swan Kiss permanently improved her already blessed talents. When she completely absorbs it, the situation would be even better. Her rate of cultivating Spirit Energy would also reach greater heights. The short-term improvement of two spirit ranks was simply icing over the cake and she would even be one of the youngest Spirit Sages ever. But thinking of Ja Sun and Ah Yin, Bibi Dong knew that she wouldn't be holding the record for a long time anyway.

However, as she dried herself, she couldn't help but think the pleasurable feeling coursing through her body and scowled deeply once she felt her body warming up for a completely different reason now.

'I don't have time for this. The best situation is to ride the momentum of the advancement I will attain this week and break into rank 70 altogether. Every second counts now...

But Ka-ul wouldn't have any hand in why I'm getting these sensations, right?

Even he isn't this shameless... right?'

Once she changed into a fresh set of clothes, she immediately began cultivating spirit energy while the group entered the tent only to quickly leave because of the scent which only caused further misunderstanding. However, discreetly creating a clone, Ja Sun left for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to study it. Ah Yin and Ja Sun weren't afraid that the other one would stab their partner in the back by taking away more Immortal Herbs. The two had gone through enough and also shared enough secrets to become each other's closest partner in crime.
