Endless Transmigration: These Shitty Lives are Killing Me-Chapter 26: Show Off

[Author's Note: I'll mention Primer Clan/Miteer Family as Miteer Family alone from now on]

Back to the story~!

--- Chapter 25 ---

Baek Ain closed his eyes and stood before the elders of the Miteer Family with a smile. Each of these elders could defeat him instantly without further retaliation, but they could only witness his worth because of Yafei's presence here.

So what if Yafei's Aunty wasn't giving her blessing for their marriage? In the end, it's still Yafei's decision.

However, this situation is also better for him.

He could show them something worth investing in and someone to depend on in the future.

"My name is Baek Ain."

"I'm 14 years old, an orphan from Wu Tan City. I trained very hard every day and met Yafei by chance."

"And just a few days ago, I reached peak Dou Grandmaster Realm."

A strong aura released from Baek Ain's body, and the Dou Qi Armor covered his upper body, making the elders of the Miteer Family's eyes widen in disbelief.

Everyone except the Teng Shan only heard about Baek Ain's achievement of defeating the Beast Tamer. They didn't know how young or talented he was, but seeing it now.

They could only swallow their surprise in excitement.

A 10-Star Dou Grandmaster at 14, That's unheard of in the Jia Ma Empire.

Sensing their hopeful gazes, Baek Ain smirked inside because his showing off wasn't over yet. He flicked his finger and called Gnome's beast flame, increasing the temperature in the garden.

Upon seeing the small brown flame, even Teng Shan couldn't contain his disbelief.

"B-Beast Flame! A strong one at that..."

"How unbelievable."

"However, a beast flame isn't applicable unless you are an al-!" The female elder was about to criticize Baek Ain, but he suddenly pulled several medicinal ingredients and an alchemist furnace.

"Y-You..."

Baek Ain smiled at her and returned, "Exactly, elder."

"I'm also an alchemist."

[Eastern Alchemy's Mastery]

[Alchemist's Instinct]

[Herbology]

Baek Ain used Parallel Thinking and purified all the medicinal ingredients at different temperatures, splitting them a portion to portion because his alchemy is about precision.

He threw them into the furnace and mixed them quickly, creating a milky white substance. Clenching his hand to condense the mixture, he stopped and pulled the pearl-like pill out.

From beginning to end, it took only a few minutes for Baek Ain to finish this pill. "This 3rd tier pill is called "Anti-Aging Pill." that moisturizes wrinkled skin, making it healthier and tight again."

"The effect is pretty much permanent, but I recommend you eat more collagen, as in the beef bone soup, to maintain your beauty." He handed the pill to the female elder, smiling at her kindly.

Women's striking points are their beauty.

An attack on that field will get you loyal customers. No matter how old or young they are. That's why skincare products were prevalent in Baek Ain's previous life.

"W-Well, I suppose..." Yafei's aunt cleared her throat and shamelessly accepted the pill.

'Hehe, Got you.' Baek Ain laughed inside when seeing the dangerous fish take the bait.

Teng Shan walked to Baek Ain and asked, "Ain, you could make 3rd Tier Pills?"

Baek Ain shrugged and answered, "I could make up to 5th Tiers Pills, but the success rate isn't very viable. My usual rate is 60% for 5-Tiers Pills because of their harsh requirements."

"WHAT?!"

"S-SIXTY PERCENT?!!"

People in the Jia Ma's Alchemist Association would puke a mouthful of blood if they ever heard Baek Ain's words. Let's not talk about Baek Ain's age.

His 60% success rate on making 5-Tier Pills are like a gift from heaven itself. Yes, it's that kind of miracle.

"I mean... Aren't you curious how new pills have spread all over the empire in the last three weeks? Who do you think makes them in such a short amount of time?"

Realization hit the elder faster than ever.

They stared at the young man in front of them with shocked expressions, shaking because an unknown alchemist had been creating new pills one after another in the last three weeks. They tried to uncover his roots and presence but found no result as Yafei erased every track with her influence.

All those pills were "expertly." created by this young man.

The chaos in the Jia Ma Empire's economy makes every noble clan spend an ungodly percentage of gold in just three weeks. They used 1-year' budget to buy Baek Ain's pills, making him a billionaire instantly.

Even though Baek Ain hasn't reached the Miteer Family's wealth yet, he'd be at that level soon. Baek Ain's proposal to marry Yafei doesn't sound so bad now.

They wouldn't mind such a genius entering their Miteer Family.

Also, Miteer Family finally possessed a peerless alchemist who wouldn't lose to people from the Jia Ma Alchemist Association.

[Ding! You have finished "Showing-off your abilities." quest]

[Re-evaluating reward because the host exceeded the quest's objective]

[Rewarding 4 Drops of Geocentric Cleansing Milk and a big chunk of purple meteorite]

Baek Ain pumped his fist silently and felt a tap on his shoulder. It was Yafei's aunt.

"You passed my requirement, not her late parents."

"They left me with some words regarding Yafei's future partner."

"Right here, You have to endure one attack from me." She said solemnly.

"Aunt Hwa! That's unfair for Ain. You're a 4-Star Dou King!" Yafei complained on the side.

Baek Ain waved his hand to stop Yafei and responded, "Go ahead then."

Lei Hwa nodded in admiration and walked ten meters away from Baek Ain, manifesting a pair of energy wings. It is what makes Dou King famous in this world, a state where Dou Qi condensed to an attachment on the cultivator's back.

[Steel-like Enhancement]

[Sixth Sense]

[Lightning Impulse]

Baek Ain wanted to use Golden Crow's Possession but decided the idea was too dumb because Yafei's aunt won't kill him. He shouldn't reveal too much of his cards.

'Let's see how my defense prevails against a Dou King.'

Baek Ain's hazel-gold eyes focused on Lei Hwa's figures and saw her disappear from his vision. He moved instinctively and felt a painful smack on his stomach.

BAM!

SWOOSH! BOOM!

[Ding! Unrecorded Body Refining Technique have leveled up]

[Unrecorded Body Refining Technique has leveled up]

[Unrecorded Body Refining Technique has leveled up]

[Unrecorded Body Refining Technique has leveled up]

[Unrecorded Body Refining Technique has reached level 14]

Baek Ain's body flew away like a broken kite and smacked against a sturdy wall nearby. He groaned in pain slightly and adjusted his body, standing up firmly.

He looked at Lei Hwa with a bloody smile and said, "Thank you for the teachings."

"..." Lei Hwa looked at her hand in defeat.

When her hand was about to contact Baek Ain's stomach, he shifted his body and relaxed his muscle, which lessened the damage. Even Dou Spirit Fighter couldn't do such a thing.

"Bring him to the medical ward. He lessened the damage but still took it straight ahead."

"I can still-!" Baek Ain suddenly fainted.

'Ke Er, Liu Kai. Your daughter has brought a splendid son-in-law.' Lei Hwa thought while shaking her head gently.

...

...

A few hours later, Baek Ain awakened with a massive headache. He looked around and spotted Yafei resting her head on the bed.

"Fei?" He called her name.

Yafei pouted and said, "Ain. You're so reckless."

Baek Ain scratched his cheek and replied, "Well, I know your aunt won't do anything bad to me. She worries if you choose the wrong person, after all."

"However, how come you never tell me your parents have passed away?"

"About that?" Yafei sighed while giving him a sad look.

"I didn't tell you because my parents died in an accident."

"I was young. I couldn't remember much."

Baek Ain nodded knowingly and mumbled, "I see..."

"Don't worry. We'll be a big happy family from now on."

A gentle smile appeared on Yafei's beautiful face, feeling warm when hearing Baek Ain's words.

"Mm."
