《An Ancient's Leisure》Chapter 18
Advertisement
As Johnny was making breakfast, Mary Rose sat at the table with a notepad and pen. She quickly wrote down, Likes glasses.
Then Mary Rose looks up at Johnny. “You know that Lucy says she's a natural blonde.” She starts to say.
Johnny stops. “Really? How do you know?” He asks.
“Her hair was dressed so nicely when we met her, so I asked her about it later.” Mary Rose says with a smile.
“Really? Hmm.” Johnny says before shaking his head and continuing to cook.
Mary Rose raises an eyebrow. “Do you not like blondes?” She asks, her pen ready.
Johnny lets out a bitter smile. “It’s not that I don’t like them… It’s just that… Never mind…” He says, unsure of how to answer.
Mary Rose smiles. She quickly writes down, Doesn’t like blondes.
“What about brunettes?” Mary Rose asks, listening eagerly.
Johnny smiles. “Of course I like brunettes, I mean I like you don’t I?” He says with a chuckle.
Mary Rose nods, and writes, Likes brunettes.
Mary Rose looks up once more. “Are you a boobs or an ass man?” She asks seriously.
Johnny lets out a laugh. “What?” He says, unsure why they were talking about this.
Suddenly the doorbell rang.
Johnny goes to the door and opens it. Outside were several boxes and a delivery man.
“Sign here.” He says.
Johnny signs, and the man leaves.
Johnny gathers his spiritual energy and picks up all the boxes, bringing them inside, before closing the door.
Mary Rose sees this and raises an eyebrow. “What are those?” She asks.
“Just some ingredients.” He says before going back to the kitchen.
…
…
Johnny soon hired a few people to fix the house. Then he went to a hotel with Mary Rose.

After arriving, Johnny quickly sat down on the couch and began to think. What cultivation technique should I settle on? He begins to wonder. Something thick and meaty, and slow. I hate advancing in levels, so something very difficult to advance in… He thinks, processing his options. Emperor’s Domination? No, too full of itself. The Star Gathering technique? Maybe… But that’s going to be a really, really long time. The Ultimate Yang technique? No, no. That’s gross. I hate yang energy. So bright and gross. The Demon God technique? That’s a definite maybe. But Mary Rose would certainly disapprove. Hmm… Mary Rose… Mary Rose… She chose the Flow Goddess, so of course I have to match. That’s it, I’m choosing the Great Entropy technique. And it works out because I’m lazy. This is a technique that you’re not allowed to force, so it can only build up naturally. Johnny thinks, settling the matter.
Johnny quickly arranges the technique seed in his body, then, he just let it flow naturally.
The technique gathered the fifth stage energy in Johnny’s body, and began to arrange and settle it, until Johnny’s cultivation officially settled on the first stage.
Johnny raises an eyebrow. First stage? All that energy and you’re going to settle it as the first stage? And it’s not even complete first stage. Johnny thinks before letting out a sigh. He could already tell that this was a supreme technique; he was sort of excited to advance in it. Alas, he could not force it. The technique would grow on its own in the most natural way possible, following the flow of the world and Johnny’s inner being. Thus, Johnny quickly forgot about the matter.
…
…
“What are you going to do with all these?” Mary Rose asks as Johnny pulls out several dried herbs, animal parts, and minerals.

Johnny smiles. “I’m going to make some money!” He says.
Mary Rose quickly begins to smile as well. “That’s great! Do you need any help?” She asks, excited at their future profits.
“No, it’s okay. This shouldn’t take too long. A few batches of several things, a few hours at most.” Johnny says with a wave of his hand.
Eventually, Johnny set up three large cauldrons on the balcony on top of propane elements. Then, he began to work. He filled the cauldrons with water, turned on the elements and let it boil. Then he began throwing in ingredients, carefully timing their entrance into the concoction.
Then, when it was all done, Johnny began scooping the different colored liquids into jars. Eventually over a hundred jars were filled.
Johnny quickly calls a number.
“Yes, senior.” Leo says on the phone.
“Hey, Leo. Are you busy?” Johnny asks.
“Not busy. What’s the matter, senior?” Leo asks.
“I have several things that I need to sell in the mortal realm. I was hoping you could help me out.” Johnny says with a mischievous smile.
In truth, these things weren’t that great. But in the mortal realm, they would be considered treasures.
Johnny had made three concoctions; a beauty potion, a strength potion, and an aphrodisiac potion.
Johnny made these things because their essence were rooted in flaws. The pursuit of beauty and strength, the pursuit of pleasure? These were the things people of the mortal realm fought for, and all of these, were things that would damn them to mortality.
For Johnny, and his perspective, supporting these ideals was certainly not a good, and it was definitely against the flow of entropy. But Johnny didn’t care too much about it; entropy has always been a thing that humanity has fought against. With a limited world view, entropy was most certainly the devil, and this great beast was very used to mortals fighting against it. But life worked in mysterious ways, and eventually, entropy would always end up getting what it wants.
All Johnny really wanted from this was some bad karma. So, he didn’t hesitate to make these.
Eventually, Leo agreed to the matter. “I’ll be over soon.” He says before ending the call.
