While I was chanting a curse, the system said I was Xiao Yan?

Having witnessed Yunshan and the man in black robes working together to capture a second-tier magical beast, and understanding their power, you realize you are not yet capable of participating in such a conspiracy. Improving your strength is the only right path forward.

Side Quest: The Mystery of the Phantom (Part 1) Completed.

[Mission Reward: Healing Medicine Recipe x1, already issued.]

[Side quest triggered: The Path of the Alchemist.]

[Successfully crafted a healing medicine according to the prescription. Quest reward: Qi-restoring pill prescription x1]

A prescription for a healing medicine appeared in his mind. It didn't require many ingredients, but it did contain coagulation herbs, vitality fruits...

Tianyan frowned, having absolutely no idea what those medicinal herbs were!

Then another task appeared.

[Side Quest Triggered: The Path of a Battle Master]

Head to the Monster Mountain Range for training and slay ten Tier 1 monsters.

[Reward: Mid-tier Profound-level Battle Skill: Explosive Step]

Warcraft Mountains?

He opened his eyes and looked out the car window at the bustling streets of Tokyo. There were towering buildings, heavy traffic, and people everywhere. There wasn't even a decent forest. Where did this "Monster Mountain Range" come from?

"Yamada."

"exist!"

"Where are we now?"

"We've just entered Tokyo city, Lord Tenyan."

Yamada glanced at him in the rearview mirror: "Where are you going?"

Tianyan did not answer, because his gaze was fixed on the system interface.

The system issued a notification the instant Yamada said "Enter Tokyo city".

Current location: Warcraft Mountains.

Tianyan remained silent for three seconds.

Then he laughed.

Tokyo.

The region with the most, most vicious, highest density, and most diverse types of cursed spirits in the world.

In the system's eyes, isn't this place the 'Monster Mountain Range'?

"interesting."

Tianyan withdrew his gaze and said to Yamada, "Let's find a pharmacy up ahead and stop for a bit."

"A pharmacy?" Yamada paused, then asked, "Do you need medicine for your injury?"

"I'm not buying medicine."

Tianyan thought for a moment and then rephrased it: "It's about buying... medicinal herbs, Chinese herbal medicines."

Although Yamada looked confused, he nodded and drove the car into a commercial street in the city, stopping in front of a shop.

Tianyan got out of the car and looked up at the store.

The shop is small and the storefront is a bit old. There are several glass jars filled with medicinal herbs in the window, and next to them is a yellowed poster that reads "Nourishing and Health-Preserving, Strengthening the Body".

He pushed open the door and went inside.

The shop was filled with a strong aroma of Chinese medicine, a mixture of licorice, dried tangerine peel, and some indescribable bitterness.

Behind the counter stood a bald old man wearing reading glasses and a white coat, weighing medicinal herbs on a scale without even looking up.

"Welcome! What would you like to do with your purchase?"

Tianyan walked to the counter and read aloud the prescription from his mind.

The old man paused for a moment, looked up with a bewildered expression, and sized up Tian Yan. He was young and had half the charm of the old man in his youth.

He doesn't seem crazy!

He waved his hand: "I've never heard of any of them. You're not kidding me, are you?"

Tianyan sighed. Just as he expected. Although he hadn't had high hopes, the names of those medicinal herbs did indeed not exist in this world.

After apologizing, he glanced at the cabinet next to him, where some medicinal herbs were displayed for customers to choose from. He walked over and touched them one by one, and sure enough, the system gave him a notification.

Epimedium, Cistanche deserticola, Cynomorium songaricum, Cuscuta chinensis, Lycium barbarum...

Although he wasn't a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, he had heard of the names of these medicinal herbs.

Aren't these all aphrodisiacs?!

Is this a healing medicine?

What kind of injury is being treated?

Tianyan read the prescription and the system prompts again to make sure he hadn't misread a single word.

"...Alright then."

He sighed inwardly.

Who cares, as long as it works. I don't know what I'll achieve in the end, but at least it shouldn't harm my health...

A short while later, he returned to the counter carrying a large pile of medicinal herbs.

The old man looked at the medicinal herbs in front of him, sized up Tianyan, and then a lewd smile slowly crept onto his lips.

"Young man, you're so young, why are you taking this supplement?"

Tianyan's eye twitched slightly: "...It's a gift for a friend."

"friend?"

The old man chuckled and poured the herbs from the scale into a paper bag: "Alright, alright, I understand."

As he wrapped the medicine, he shook his head, muttering to himself, "Young people these days are so weak. Back in my day..."

Listen to the old man start to ramble on about his romantic escapades in his youth.

Tianyan took a deep breath and decided not to explain further.

He paid, took the package of herbs, and turned to leave.

Then his gaze fell on a small shelf next to the counter.

The shelves are filled with small bottles and jars of sildenafil, tadalafil, and the like.

Below are several magazines with colorful covers and titles such as "Weekly XX" and "XX Club".

The cover of the top book features a sweet-smiling, voluptuous mature woman, with a line of large text printed next to her.

"The highly anticipated S-class newcomer, Sayuri Shiraishi! Her debut work is released to great acclaim!"

Tenyan paused for a moment. Wasn't that Hojo?!

Then, without thinking, I picked up the magazine and started flipping through it.

[To quickly improve your strength, you came to the Monster Mountain Range. By chance, you came across a cave where you not only found many rare herbs but also received a legacy left by your predecessors—a very rare flying combat technique. As the Flame Emperor, you were overjoyed; now you could finally take flight!]

[Hidden quest triggered: Bring the loot out of the cave.]

[Mission Reward: Advanced Mystic-Rank Flight Combat Skill: Eagle Wings]

Tianyan stood in front of the counter, holding the packet of aphrodisiac in his hand, staring at the adult magazine, frozen in place as if struck by lightning.

"What?"

He was screaming wildly in his mind.

"Treasure hunting in a cave?! What treasure am I looking for?! I just glanced at a magazine cover!"

"What kind of cave is this?! What kind of treasure hunt is this?!"

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. No matter what, he figured he might as well take advantage of this free benefit!

It is a high-level Xuan-rank combat skill, and an extremely rare flying combat skill. According to the original work, only those at the Dou Ling realm or above can use their Dou Qi to condense into wings and fly through the air.

Flying combat techniques allow users to acquire the ability to fly even when their strength is insufficient, making them a highly practical combat technique.

Tianyan's lips slowly curved into a smile. The system's reward this time had greatly boosted his strength.

After all, this is a noble ability to fly, naturally making one superior to others!

Without hesitation, he paid and left the shop with the magazine, basking in the old man's admiring gaze that said, "This young man has the same style as I did in my youth."

Hearing the system's prompts, he was ready for takeoff!
