Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 170: Why give it to me in the first place?

Shen Qing Feng had a very ugly look on his face when he heard this, but it wasn’t as if he could just disqualify him now.

Though there was indeed a strong part of him that really wanted to do this because of how Lin Fan had acted.

Still, he held himself back in the end as he said through gritted teeth, "You’ll go into the finals."

It was just a few simple words, but it seemed like it took all of his restraint just to say this without beating up Lin Fan who was acting like this.

When I heard these words, I said with a sigh, "Alright, we’ll do as Elder Shen says."

This was my way of giving face to Shen Qing Feng since there really was no need for me to go into the next round.

In the first place, the only reason that I came was because I needed to join this tournament for the side mission that the system gave me. There was no need for me to actually do well since the mission only told me to join the tournament and nothing else.

So even if I was disqualified, that was still more than enough to complete the mission.

The only reason that I decided to go along with them was because Shen Qing Feng was a friend of our Great Elder.

It didn’t seem like he was a normal friend, it seemed like they were close friends who had been friends with each other for many years now.

In that case, I also had to give the Great Elder some face and go along with what Shen Qing Feng said.

Though it was a bit annoying having to continue in this tournament.

I was a prodigal, I was supposed to watch from the side lines and not participate in the main tournament.

I really didn’t know what the system was thinking by giving me this reward.

No, there was also something else that I wanted to ask the system...

Shen Qing Feng’s lips twitched twice when he heard this, but he chose to ignore me in the end.

After all, he knew that if he kept talking to me, the only thing that would happen is that he would get angrier and angrier.

So Shen Qing Feng just decided that it was better to ignore me and continue as per normal.

He turned around and announced to everyone, "Lin Fan will move on to the finals."

Though there were strange looks that came in response to this, there was no one that objected to this.

After all, even if they wanted to object to this, it wasn’t as if they could.

Those that were knowledgeable about alchemy knew what kind of crazy feat he had performed. Those that weren’t knowledgeable about alchemy could at least see the tribulation clouds that formed, showing that this pill wasn’t a normal one.

Just like that, it was decided that Lin Fan moved into the finals.

However, the person in question wasn’t happy about this.

Still, I had no choice but to accept it.

Instead of wasting time and effort with things that I couldn’t change, there was something that I wanted to do instead.

I went to the residence that had been prepared for me and told the lackeys that I was going into isolation for a bit.

They were surprised and concerned for me, but I just told them that it was because I had gained some new insights during the competition. I just wanted to condense these insights and improve myself...which was a complete lie.

But in this cultivation world, it was the kind of lie that they bought.

Later on, when the elders and senior disciples came back, they bought the same excuse.

However, in reality, I had gone into isolation just to question my system properly.

"Why did you give me this reward in the first place if you were just going to have me destroy the things that I make?"

That was the question that I had for the system because it was the one that told me to destroy the pill line pill that I had refined earlier.

This wasn’t a mission like before, it was a simple request from the system to destroy the pill.

Well...it couldn’t be considered a simple request from the system either since it had said...

"Destroy the pill now."

It was a single notification that had been written in large letters that appeared in front of my face.

It was as if the system was screaming at me to destroy the pill.

It was almost as if the system was desperate for me to destroy the pill.

I didn’t understand why the system had acted this way, but I trusted the system to a certain extent, so I followed its orders and destroyed the pill. However, that didn’t mean that I wasn’t curious as to why the system told me to do this.

Which was why I was questioning it now.

The system remained silent for a bit before finally saying, "That pill was something that shouldn’t be left in this world. It went beyond the limits of this world and if it was left in this world, it would have broken the balance of this world. If the balance of this world is broken, it could cause chaos that would lead to this world breaking apart."

"Huh?" There was an incredulous look that appeared on my face after hearing this.

I just stood there in silence for a few seconds before asking, "Then why would you give me this in the first place?"

The system just said, "This is to help the host complete the side mission."

I really didn’t know what to say in response to this.

This seemed like putting the carriage before the horse...

I didn’t need to win the tournament after all, so there was no need to actually do this.

But the system just said, "Host, please trust the system when the system says that this is for your own good."

I was very confused when I heard this, but I eventually gave a nod in agreement.
