Transmigration with Cheat Codes Chapter 11.2: [Partial Enlightenment]

With a muffled sound, the medicine was successfully refined. Judging from the intensity of the dense black smoke that billowed out, this was probably one of the best efforts Meng Jintang had made in recent days.

Due to the skill proficiency required to produce "Unwillingly Crimson" exceeding Meng Jintang's personal capabilities, even if she devoted time to alchemy every day, according to the game's normal probability, she might not succeed even after trying a hundred times. However, with the input of a cheat code that increases luck...

After only thirty-six failures, she managed to produce a low-grade version of the detoxification potion that had a strange taste, a black appearance, emitted a burnt smell, and due to the limitations of the maker's talent, its efficacy could only be exerted to one-third of its full potential. Nevertheless, it was still usable, albeit with some effort.

Meng Jintang was speechless.

Given that the premise of transmigration predetermined that no matter how frustrating the game might be, Meng Jintang thought that she might be discouraged from playing the game the moment she saw this line. =_=

The mountain peak where the unidentified withered bones were located had treacherous terrain, making it difficult for birds to land.

The first time Meng Jintang came here, she was limited by her insufficient personal strength and had to use both hands and feet to climb up. But now, unless she encountered a nearly perpendicular section, she could step on rocks for leverage and effortlessly scale the cliff.

Arriving near the cave once again, Meng Jintang used her long sword as a makeshift shovel and carefully mixed the painstakingly refined antidote into the soil. However, she was uncertain whether this would truly be effective...

[System: Successfully completed hidden quest [The Gratitude of the Ape], Hanshan Sect's friendliness increased by 2 points, and the achievement [Friend of the Apes] is unlocked.]

A new system prompt appeared, and besides the increase in friendliness, Meng Jintang didn't receive any additional rewards. Perhaps the previous hidden quest, [Burial in the Desolate Mountains], was the reward for completing [The Gratitude of the Ape].

Meng Jintang turned around and gazed at the vast forest between the mountains. The sky was already turning dark at this moment, and in the far distance, there seemed to be flickering lights, perhaps the glow of a distant fire.

The source of the firelight was precisely in the East.

That place was quite a distance away from the sect's headquarters and existed in an area with many dangerous high-level wild monsters.

As the sun was about to set, and the new moon was about to rise, the young woman in a green robe stood quietly at the mountaintop. Her gaze was focused on the distance.

Suddenly, she shook her robe and soared into the air, gliding like a flying bird towards a distant treetop. Meng Jintang's qinggong technique included the word "Swooping," and her movements truly resembled the wind gently swirling around, carrying an indescribable gracefulness.

For a considerable number of martial artists in the martial world, the Han Mountain area was remote and rarely visited by people. Whether they wanted to escape danger or engage in secretive plots and schemes, it was a particularly safe haven.

The former Dian Cang Sect traitor had the same idea. As for the group of Ghost Cry Gang members currently camping on the mountain slope in the dead of night, they obviously shared the same thoughts as the previous one.

The name "Ghost Cry Gang," with such a distinct martial arts flavor, originated from the Appraisal skill of Meng Jintang, the leader of Hanshan Sect.

While the previous Dian Cang Sect traitor leaned towards the attire of an ordinary martial artist, the bandits in the current mountain stronghold expressed their viciousness through their appearance, limbs, and clothing.

The peripheral patrolling members all wore tight-fitting clothes that exposed their arms and legs.

This dressing style could be attributed to the carefree nature of martial artists, the compatibility issues with long sleeves and pants during the sweltering summer, or the preference to spend their ill-gotten gains on revelry rather than outfitting themselves.

Alternatively, it could be a deliberate design choice by the game developers to create a simple and vivid character image for a minor enemy with a bandit-like appearance, making it clear at first glance that these were bad guys.

As for the bandit leader, who stood a bit closer to the center, he was clad in more defensive equipment like leather armor. This indicated that he held a higher position among the gang members and was more skilled in combat, prioritizing protection during battles.

The night wind blew, and faint cries could be heard coming from within these encampments.

On the backside of the hill, two bandits were carrying a young boy while simultaneously punching and kicking him, loudly scolding him.

One of the bandits sneered and said, "You little brat won't behave? You've been fooling around with our strategist for days. Let's give you another beating. If you don't die, we'll take you back; if you do die, we'll bury you right here. There are plenty of people in the town; it’s not like there are no other tongues to be caught."

"Catching tongues" was a term used in the martial world, but in the Ghost Cry Gang, they were engaged in the business of murder and arson. Whenever they arrived at a new place, they would capture some locals to gather information.

The young boy was covered in bruises and wounds, his eyes closed, and he lacked the strength to speak. Every inch of his body, beyond his clothing, bore fresh and old injuries, and not a single spot of healthy skin could be seen.
