Dong Chuan and Lei Yun, along with several others, were assigned to chop down a spirit tree. Nearby, Wang Jian was tasked with measuring the harvested wood, while Meng Fei supervised with a stern expression.
They wasted no time, each person taking up an axe or machete, striking at the thick, stubborn trunks. The sound of wood splitting echoed through the forest as chips flew. The thicker and harder the tree, the more effort it demanded.
As they continued, Meng Fei barked out orders, making sure no one slacked off. Li Yun, knowing he needed to stay unnoticed, kept his movements steady but avoided drawing attention.As they continue to chopped the wood, Li Yun was always watching Meng Fei to see where Meng Fei can obtained the pouch that has Meridian Tempering Pill. After an hour of work, Li Yun notices a pouch concealed behind a large stone covered in grass.But there was a problem,Meng Fei was getting closer to the spot. Before Meng Fei could reach it, Li Yun pretended to stumble and struck the large stone, slicing open his hand. Blood dripped onto the grass.
"Useless"! Meng Fei shouts and waves him off and said "Get up and stayed out of the way"
Li Yun quickly got up and stepped aside, swiftly hiding the small pouch in his shorts and keeping out of Meng Fei's sight as quickly as possible.
After he got away, he quickly open the small pouch and what he found inside is a single Marrow Cleansing Pill, wrapped in aged silk.A faint medicinal fragrance burst forth, clearing his mind in an instant.
The moment his skin touched it, a faint golden shimmer flickers across his panel.
> Congratulations! You have unlocked your first achievement — Stealing the Destiny of Others!
Be prepared. With this achievement, you can steal one fate from anyone whose destiny you have already taken.
But before he could pocket the item, a shadow fell over him. Meng Fei stood a few paces away, eyes narrowing.
"What's in your hand, Li Yun?" His tone was sharp.
Li Yun pretended not to hear, his body shifting just enough to hide the small pouch in his sleeve.
Meng Fei's gaze darkened. "Get up and stay out of the way, useless!" He reached out and roughly shoved Li Yun aside. Li Yun let himself stumble and fall, blood dripping from his lip, selling the act.
Meng Fei sneered before turning away to shout more orders.
Li Yun quickly got up and slipped out of sight, his mind racing. He found a quiet spot and opened the pouch. Inside, wrapped in aged silk, was a single Marrow Cleansing Pill.
He closed it at once and hid it again. Something this valuable could not be exposed.
