Lu Chuan, how long have we been falling off the cliff?"
Lin Qingxue, covered in blood, regained consciousness from her meditation. After a long period of treatment, she only temporarily stabilized the toxins in her body.
"Martial aunt , it has been three days."
"How are your injuries? Do you need me to help you heal?"
"Martial aunt , please prioritize your own safety. As far as I know, the higher the cultivation level, the more severe the effect of this dragon poison. My cultivation is shallow, so I am temporarily fine."
Lin Qingxue nodded and focused her attention again to seal her meridians.
The dragon poison had already penetrated her meridians, and if not suppressed, it would endanger her life. This poison not only caused irreversible damage to the cultivator's dantian, but also had a strong aphrodisiac effect.
Lin Qingxue was already a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, so the onset of the toxin was even more intense. She dared not even open her eyes to look at Lu Chuan. Despite her firm Dao heart, she had no spare energy to resist the continuous emergence of evil thoughts from the depths of her heart.
She could only rely on regulating her breath to suppress the spread of the toxin.
Lu Chuan glanced at Lin Qingxue and confirmed that she had entered a meditative state again.
"Sigh, what should I do?"
He secretly opened the system, which read:
Mission: Dual cultivation with the protagonist's master
Rewards: Chaotic Immortal Physique (a Body Refining quality possessed only by ancient immortals, capable of cultivating all spiritual energy. Immune to illusions, toxins, and other adverse effects.) Foundation Building Late Stage cultivation
Title: Despised Ancestor of the Riding Sect
Lu Chuan rubbed his forehead speechlessly. The mission was of extremely high difficulty right from the start.
After falling off the cliff, he awakened memories of his past life. In his past life, he was an ordinary person on the Blue Star.
During his student days, he was caught up in intense competition and was recruited by a large corporation after graduating from university.
He should have had a bright future, not necessarily one of wealth and glory, but at least a happy and fulfilling life.
A sudden car accident destroyed Lu Chuan's life. The beautiful future became an impossible dream. He became a vegetable lying in a hospital bed, relying on a ventilator to stay alive. His perception of the outside world was weak, and he could only occasionally hear faint voices.
"It's better to be dead than to live like this," his family, who had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, cursed in front of his hospital bed.
This became the final straw that crushed Lu Chuan.
If only he hadn't gone out that day, his family wouldn't have despised him, his girlfriend wouldn't have abandoned him, and he would have surely lived an incredibly wonderful life.
In his regret, Lu Chuan gave up on the idea of living.
"Congratulations, host, on awakening the memories of your past life. This place is actually a novel world, and in this world's script, you are a villain who tries to hinder the growth of the protagonist and will eventually die at the hands of the protagonist."
A system appeared before Lu Chuan, which only he could see.
Lu Chuan was speechless. After finally awakening his memories from his past life, he realized that he was actually a doomed villain.
"Fortunately, host, you have me, the great villain system. As long as you complete the tasks, you will be able to stage a comeback. The protagonist's opportunities, the protagonist's harem, and the protagonist's achievements will all be yours."
"Do you see that beauty? Her name is Lin Qingxue, the future mentor of the protagonist."
"Your first task is to cultivate with her."
Lu Chuan understood that the system before him was a villain system, and he himself was a mid-story villain in a novel.
Born into a prestigious family with exceptional talent, but at odds with the protagonist, he would engage in open and hidden battles with the protagonist in the middle of the novel. If he wasn't careful, the protagonist would seize an opportunity and take him down.
Lu Chuan made up his mind to change this future. In his previous life, he couldn't control his own destiny, but this time he would seize the opportunity.
In the world of cultivation, improving one's own strength is the most important factor. Before he had the ability to completely defeat the protagonist, he needed to establish good relationships with the people around the protagonist.
Time returned to the present.
They were under a cliff that had just been discovered as a Secret Realm. Both of them were seriously injured and had highly toxic dragon venom in their bodies.
The Secret Realm exploration was supposed to only involve righteous sect members, but somehow cultists had infiltrated.
Their goal was to eliminate all the righteous sect members in the Secret Realm and even sacrifice themselves to break the seal in the Secret Realm, releasing dozens of red dragons.
Each red dragon had the strength of a human Nascent Soul cultivator. As one of the highest cultivators in the Secret Realm, Lin Qingxue stepped forward to protect her disciples and allow them to retreat.
Lu Chuan, as the designated senior brother of the next generation of the Immortal Gate, followed behind Lin Qingxue in order to gain some credit.
As a result, they were surrounded by the red dragons and had to jump off the cliff in order to survive.
With their spiritual energy depleted and their bodies heavily injured, they also had dragon venom coursing through their bodies.
According to the plot development, Lin Qingxue's strength would greatly decline due to this injury, and soon after, the Demon Sect would invade the Immortal Gate, and she would die protecting the protagonist.
"Cough... cough..."
Lu Chuan organized his thoughts, but when he didn't know how to speak, he heard coughing from nearby.
There was a large pool of blood in front of Lin Qingxue, and she was coughing up blood continuously. She covered her mouth with her hand, trying to minimize the bleeding, but couldn't suppress it. The bright red blood dripped from her slender fingers.
"Senior Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
"Cough... don't come close... cough..."
Unable to hear clearly, Lu Chuan approached and only then did he notice that her originally fair skin had turned red, and her eyes had an indescribable allure. The weak and delicate image caused by her weakness made Lu Chuan stare in a daze.
Lin Qingxue had been suppressing the evil fire for a long time, but the dragon venom had entered her dantian. Now, the desire fire was burning within her. If she couldn't find an outlet soon, she would die.
The only solution was to sever the connection between her dantian and meridians, but for a cultivator, this was no different from disabling their dantian.
She struggled to maintain her composure and squeezed out a sentence, "I told you not to come, didn't you hear?" After speaking, she closed her eyes tightly.
Just by looking at Lu Chuan, her body's desire for the opposite sex almost overwhelmed her rationality.
There was no time left, she had to destroy her dantian!
Her anger seemed weak, the panting between words and the exposed skin from her torn clothes made Lu Chuan have impure thoughts.
Sensing that something was wrong with Lin Qingxue, Lu Chuan knew that she was about to do the same thing as in the original book, which meant that his dual cultivation mission would be impossible to complete, and the probability of being killed by the protagonist would increase.
That kind of thing is not allowed! He must take control of his own life.
"Shishu, stop." Lu Chuan quickly grabbed Lin Qingxue's hands, looked into her eyes, and could feel the heat of her breath on his face.
With a perfect fairy-like face, passionate eyes, and continuous panting.
Lin Qingxue could no longer suppress her desires and followed her instincts to push Lu Chuan down.
The dragon poison penetrated her dantian, and the detoxification process was very long...
Although Lin Qingxue's spiritual energy was almost depleted, her physical strength was still stronger than Lu Chuan, who was at the Qi Refining Late Stage.
Lu Chuan struggled to cope, feeling comfortable but also exhausted to the point of fainting.
When he woke up from his coma, the first thing he heard was the sound of the system prompt.
"Congratulations, host, on completing the mission. The mission reward has been issued.
Cultivation has been restored to the Foundation Building Late Stage.
Obtained the Chaotic Immortal Physique (cultivation speed is a thousand times that of an ordinary person, can absorb all spiritual energy for oneself, immune to all worldly toxins...)
The points store is now open. As the host has completed the mission for the first time, an additional reward of ten points for the villain value has been given."
"What are the points for?" Lu Chuan asked curiously. "And what does the ellipsis mean?"
"The Chaotic Immortal Physique is exceptionally powerful, and its full potential has not been fully understood. There must be other uses, but I don't know.
As for the villain points, as long as you complete missions or do things that a villain should do, the points will increase.
Increasing points can be used to purchase items in the points store.
The points store has been opened for the host."
Eastern Emperor's Bell - one million points
Xuan-Yuan Sword - eight hundred thousand points
Cultivation advancement to the Land Immortal realm - five hundred thousand points
Nine Transformation Spirit Pill - one hundred thousand points
A screen similar to Bixixi appeared in front of him, and the items in the points store were dazzling, with Divine Weapons, realm advancements, various elixirs, but the prices were too high.
"Can you recommend something I can afford..." Lu Chuan complained to the system in his mind.
The interface refreshed, and this time, everything that appeared was within Lu Chuan's acceptable range, various spiritual herbs and Spirit Treasures, and even items from the Blue Star.
The ones that attracted Lu Chuan the most were these.
A set of cheongsam - five points
Skin-changing card - one card - five points
A box of instant noodles - one point
The interface looked like Bixixi, but did she also get noodles and clothes from there? Will using the skin-changing card result in a ban?
Just as Lu Chuan was about to ask the system what it meant, Lin Qingxue's voice came, so he had to close the system first.
"You're awake, how do you feel?"
"Very comfortable." After awakening the memories from the Blue Star, Lu Chuan's originally indifferent personality changed, and he blurted out.
Hearing Lu Chuan's answer, Lin Qingxue realized that she had asked an ambiguous question and a blush appeared on her face. She turned around and leaned back against Lu Chuan to hide her embarrassment.
"I didn't ask about that feeling. How are the toxins in your body?"
In theory, the evil fire had been extinguished and the toxins would no longer spread.
The only worry was that the enhanced toxins in Lin Qingxue's body had been transferred to Lu Chuan through their dual cultivation.
"I'm fine. Shishu, how about your recovery?"
"For now, I'm fine. You don't need to worry."
After understanding the situation, the two fell into silence.
Lin Qingxue closed her eyes and meditated, while Lu Chuan looked around.
There were pieces of torn cloth all around, with blood stains on them. Lu Chuan wondered if the blood came from wounds or from Lin Shishu's first time.
"Don't tell anyone about our dual cultivation." As if knowing what Lu Chuan was thinking, Lin Qingxue lightly lifted her vermilion lips.
"I won't tell anyone about our matters. I have forgotten what happened under the cliff, I only remember that Lin Shishu saved me from the hands of the Red Dragon."
After receiving Lu Chuan's assurance, Lin Qingxue visibly relaxed and her voice became warm again. "Lu Chuan, I know you can't bear to see me destroy my dantian and ruin my path to immortality. You have done me a favor, and I will repay it when we return to the sect."
"Shishu, there's no need to be so polite. What kind of relationship do we have? Ouch..." Lin Qingxue twisted Lu Chuan's waist to cover up her shyness.
"Now that we have recovered almost completely, let's think about how to return to the Immortal Gate."
The current top priority was to get out of the Secret Realm. The opening of the Secret Realm had a time limit, and they couldn't leave before it closed. They could only stay in the Secret Realm until the next opening.
They might be trapped for a few days, or they might never be able to leave.
