The male supporting character was actually myself.

She used to ignore him and always gave away the pills he painstakingly refined.

Now that he's desperate, could he possibly... do something really perverted?

Jiang Chen ignored her wild thoughts. In any case, whether she could successfully obtain the annual elixir and maintain her beauty depended entirely on her mood, and this fish would never betray her.

He waved his finger and laughed, "Then let's start by changing our identities. From now on, Zhou Zhixue is dead, and I've sent her to the depths of the Yu River for a water burial, leaving no trace of her remains."

Your name is Third Dream. I met you by chance. You are a peasant girl with spiritual roots and the talent to cultivate seductive arts. Your family was slaughtered by the Night Demon, and you were so frightened that you forgot many things. Your background is pitiful.

I will send you to the Hehuan Sect to become a disciple and specialize in the art of seduction.

You must cultivate diligently. If you cannot advance and prolong your lifespan soon, you will be exhausted and die within a few years.

Fortunately, cultivation in the Hehuan Sect is relatively simple. As long as you have a good-looking appearance and can seduce enough men to replenish your yin energy, and with the superior cultivation technique that Lin Xucheng gave you, your starting point is much higher than others, making the cultivation process much simpler.

This is a win-win situation: it allows you to take a shortcut to survival with your new identity, and it also lets you accumulate strength to take revenge in the future, turning the tables and using Lin Xucheng as your cultivation furnace to pave your way to immortality!

Should I join the Hehuan Sect and become a true enchantress?

Zhou Zhixue was stunned upon hearing this. Just moments before, she had even mentally prepared herself to be humiliated in every way, but she never expected that Liu Jiangchen would actually be making plans for her!

Despite the renowned reputation of the Hehuan Sect, it was a legitimate sect. Moreover, due to the unique cultivation methods, female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect were quite popular. In addition, since she already possessed a high-level cultivation method that suited her well, the Xiaoyao Sect's Punishment Hall did not abolish the cultivation method of seduction techniques...

"Thank you for your planning, Senior Brother Liu. I will definitely work hard in my cultivation. In the future..." Her cloudy eyes were filled with hatred as she said in a hoarse voice, "When my third dream returns, it will be the day that Linxu City becomes a furnace!"

Isn't it just practicing seductive arts?

Isn't it just about seducing men to replenish their yin energy?

I'll do anything to survive under a different identity! Hehe, Lin Xucheng, you must cultivate diligently and strive to break through two more levels. After all, the higher your level, the more you can help me achieve my path to immortality through dual cultivation!

Two hours later, the woman who followed Jiang Chen on his sword to the Hehuan Sect was none other than the captivatingly beautiful Third Dream.

She had created a pair of amorous peach blossom eyes for herself, a high and straight nose, eyebrows like distant mountains, red lips like flames, and slender fingers; her black hair was simply tied up in a bun, yet it carried a hint of lazy allure. Even though she had changed into a cloth dress specially bought by Liu Jiangchen for farm women, it could not hide her slender and perfect figure.

Based solely on her alluring charm that was only partially revealed, the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect immediately accepted her as his personal disciple.

Firstly, Third Dream is indeed a rare talent. Before becoming an apprentice, he had already by chance cultivated a superior skill. Moreover, his background is simple and pitiful, so he doesn't have to worry about worldly burdens.

Take her under your wing and nurture her properly; in time, you will surely be able to cultivate her into a bewitching woman who brings disaster to the country and the people. What a magnificent strength of the Joyful Union Sect!

Secondly, of course, we must give face to the person who introduced us.

That was Liu Jiangchen, a genuine alchemist who was a rare find in the entire cultivation world. He had unintentionally rescued a girl from the Night Demon and sent her all the way to the Hehuan Sect. He not only had to accept this favor, but he had to accept it beautifully.

The sect leader of the Hehuan Sect directly accepted Third Dream as his personal disciple, which not only yielded a promising talent but also earned him a great favor. Furthermore, the connection between Third Dream and her savior would allow them to maintain frequent contact, making it easier to ask for elixirs or similar items in the future.

Having already dug the pit beforehand, Jiang Chen stopped paying attention to Third Dream's situation in the Hehuan Sect.

Anyway, with only one pill a year to keep her in check, and she had to seize the time to cultivate and advance so as not to die before avenging her great grudge, and being immersed in the Hehuan Sect's environment of constantly finding ways to seduce men, she probably wouldn't stray too far from the right path.

I need to hurry up and study the secret manual that the sect leader lent me.

In the original story, the alchemist was set up to provide the male protagonist with elixirs for the rear, and the right path to immortality is to find ways to benefit the world.

Always hoarding precious elixirs and trying to sell them at high prices to make money while refusing to help those in need—can that be called cultivating immortality?

If it weren't for the rarity of spiritual herbs and the enormous consumption required to refine them, Jiang Chen would have even considered providing the sect with a batch of Foundation Establishment Pills, so that ordinary disciples who had not yet established their foundations would have the opportunity to receive one and glimpse the path to immortality...

Three days passed in a flash, and Jiang Chen took the manual to the sect leader to return it.

Presumably to prevent the proliferation of secret manuals, in the background setting of the cultivation world, such precious books can only be studied but not copied. This ensures that the secret manuals are always controlled by a few people, and others rarely see them. If necessary, they can be taken down by the protagonist and turned into tools for him to show off and slap people in the face.

"Sect Master, alchemist Liu Jiangchen requests an audience." The boy came to report. Sect Master Yan Xuzi was reading a wordless scripture when he heard this. He looked up at the sky and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Tell him I don't have time. Tell him to come back in three days."

The fluffy little dumpling looked unhappy and squatted on his shoulder, whispering in his ear, "Is this sect leader out of his mind? Why is he ordering people around like dogs? He told us to come in three days, and when we came, he refused to see us and told us to come in three days again. Is he out of his mind?"

Jiang Chen bowed and turned to leave. After walking out of the main peak, he patted the sullen white cat's head twice. "Silly boy, this is obviously letting me have a couple more days. He probably thinks three days isn't enough."

His desire for me to surpass Lin Xucheng as quickly as possible was crystal clear.

Fluffy dumpling: ⊙(?◇?)？

Then be generous and just give it to my host! It's just a book... Humans are really more greedy than me!

[Mission: Refine one Dragon's Roar Pill within one day. Reward: One-time use B-grade item x1]

The next morning, Jiang Chen had just finished his night of cultivation when he heard the long-awaited notification from the main system to issue a task.

At the same time, the fluffy little dumpling rubbed its eyes, took out the script, and hummed, "Host, the script has been updated, meow~"

As Jiang Chen had predicted, the new plot unfolded exactly as he had imagined—the male protagonist, Lin Xucheng, not only endured the physical and mental torment at the summit of Lingya Peak, refining his cultivation through sheer perseverance, but also encountered a fortuitous adventure.

The little princess of the demon race, Feng Li'er, who will only appear later in the story and whose true form is a Xuan Bird, is a master of the Nascent Soul Realm who makes an early appearance. In the story, Feng Li'er is a gluttonous and silly girl who especially likes to eat pills like candy.

Hearing that there was an approachable alchemist with low cultivation level hidden in the Xiaoyao Sect, Feng Li'er couldn't resist her craving and tore through space to travel to the Xiaoyao Sect's territory, thinking of capturing Liu Jiangchen and locking him up to refine pills for herself.

However, by sheer coincidence, the place she emerged from by tearing through space was the summit of Lingya Peak, where she encountered Lin Xucheng, who was being punished by facing the wall in confinement. The two then embarked on a hilarious and absurd encounter.

As a spoiled and overprotected princess, Feng Li'er is simple-minded and easily deceived.

So, not long after they became acquainted, Lin Xucheng, taking advantage of his protagonist aura, tricked and deceived her. Not only did she contribute her efforts and resources to modify the peak formation to make it suitable for cultivation, but she also took the initiative to undress and have sex with him.

After pulling up his pants, Lin Xucheng didn't immediately turn his back on her. Instead, he told Feng Li'er where to find the "candy beans" that smelled sweet and delicious, which she loved to eat, and encouraged her to tear through space and take him away from Lingya Peak.

As it happened, Liu Jiangchen was out and not at her residence, so the two of them rummaged through her belongings and put all the pills into their pockets.

Having obtained a freshly made top-grade Dragon Roar Pill, Feng Li'er, in order to thank him for taking her to find delicious food, casually gave Lin Xucheng the Enlightenment Stone, a divine artifact used to assist in cultivation—a treasure of the demon race.

After that, she was like a curse, and from time to time she would bring various treasures and tear through space to find him to "play games". In the near future, she would even get pregnant and cause Lin Xucheng to directly board the bus of the demon race.

When the Demon King heard that his youngest daughter was pregnant, he was overjoyed after divination revealed that the child in her womb had the appearance of a great emperor.

The demon race, whose folk customs are inherently open and rough, do not care about morality. The demon king personally went to the Xiaoyao Sect to ask for people, and the sect leader Yanxuzi had no choice but to open Lingya Peak and release Lin Xucheng.

Lin Xucheng, who successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm with the help of the Enlightenment Stone, once again showed off and slapped his face. However, he did not marry Feng Li'er. Instead, he made a ten-year agreement with the demon race by using the excuse of his low strength. He promised that he would definitely cultivate to the Divine Transformation Realm and marry Feng Li'er in glory after ten years.

So, after taking advantage of the other party's escape, Lin Xucheng immediately kicked Feng Li'er, who was pregnant and had many inconveniences.

Iron-willed Hanhan was secretly delighted to return to the demon clan to nurture her pregnancy, give birth, and raise her child, waiting for a glorious marriage and to grow old together with her beloved; while the male protagonist, Lin Xucheng, under the halo of glory, entered the secret realm to seize treasures, swept all the way to the fishpond to catch fish, tirelessly enjoying the spring breeze for ten miles and nights without stopping until he ascended to heaven...

"So he's just a big harem guy!" The little white cat rolled its eyes after reading the new plot. "The key to the mission the main system gave us is the Dragon Roar Pill that the demon race loves the most. We went through all that trouble to refine it, only to have the male lead exchange it for Enlightenment Stones. We're really losing out..."

Before it could finish speaking, its big, bright eyes darted around and it chuckled, "Host, you've already considered this possibility, haven't you thought of a countermeasure yet?"

Jiang Chen stood up, stretched his limbs, and gave a slight smile. "Let's execute Plan A first. If even the sect leader can't withstand the protagonist's halo, then we'll have to activate Plan B!"

A moment later, in the quiet room on the main peak.

"I heard from the boy that you have urgent business with me? Is it about Lin Xucheng?" Sect Master Yan Xuzi, with his long hair loose and wearing a white robe, was lounging on the couch, holding a book in his left hand and a spiritual fruit in his right, and asked lazily without even raising his head.

He stepped forward to pay his respects without mentioning the secret manual at all. With a flick of his finger, he transferred a huge pile of books from his storage ring, almost burying the sect leader.

"What is this?" Yan Xuzi frowned slightly as he looked at the large pile of books.

"The Self-Cultivation of a Monk", "Cultivation Begins with Doing Good Deeds", "The Cycle of Cause and Effect in Daily Good Deeds"...

Jiang Chen bowed deeply and replied earnestly, "These are books I've recently collected to cultivate morality and ethics. Sect Master, you are wise to know that Lin Xucheng committed this grave mistake entirely because of his own evil and wicked heart."

The punishment of facing the wall for reflection that you gave him will not only fail to make him repent and start anew, but will most likely cause his personality to become more distorted and hate the sect.

How about...

He pointed to the large pile of books and smiled slightly. "I request that the sect leader temporarily release Lin Xucheng from Lingya Peak today and personally supervise him to diligently copy moral books that cultivate truth, goodness, and beauty to cleanse his inner sins. Only in this way can the problem be solved at its root."

metropolitan:……

Can copying a few random books written by ordinary people in the mountains really change a person's mind and turn them into a good person?

Liu Jiangchen is such an innocent kid!

Yan Xuzi initially wanted to refuse to let him take all the books, but hesitated when he saw the dazzling aura of fortune emanating from the other party.

Why today of all days?

Liu Jiangchen is not an impulsive person by nature, so could there be a deeper meaning behind his actions?

"Fine, whether it works or not, at least I tried and did my best." After thinking for a moment, Yan Xuzi finally decided to listen to advice and eat his fill. Anyway, it was only a day's delay, which was not a big deal.

"Thank you for your trouble, Sect Master!" Jiang Chen praised his wisdom a few times before taking his leave.

Yan Xuzi flipped through the books and couldn't help but laugh, "Fine, fine, let's just treat it as an insult to that kid! Copying this stuff all day? That would be torture for him."

After tidying up a large pile of books, he activated the Lingya Peak and said coldly, "Lin Xucheng, do you know your mistake after a few days of facing the wall in repentance?"

"Sect Master!" Lin Xucheng, who was tightly closing his eyes to resist the torment of his body and mind, heard the other party's voice and hurriedly stood up and bowed. "Disciple knows his mistake! Please, Sect Master, show leniency for this first offense!"

After reaching the summit, he realized how naive and ridiculous his previous idea of ​​turning his solitary contemplation into a period of seclusion had been. The constant gale was consuming his spiritual energy. Forget about cultivating and improving his cultivation level, just circulating his techniques to resist being blown apart by the gale was enough to make him suffer.

What's more, his inner demons would occasionally jump out to tempt and torment him, leaving him physically and mentally exhausted in just a few days, almost causing his mental state to collapse.

At this moment, the sect leader took the initiative to ask, and if they showed a better attitude in admitting their mistakes, they might be able to escape imprisonment!

"Hmm, it seems that facing the wall in self-reflection is effective, allowing you to calmly consider your mistakes." Yan Xuzi waved his hand, causing the floating stone steps to reappear, and said coldly, "Come here, today I will personally supervise your serious study."

If one's performance satisfies the deity, the punishment of facing the wall in repentance may be waived.

"Thank you, Sect Master!" Lin Xucheng hurriedly kowtowed in thanks, then practically ran up the stone steps to escape the terrifying summit.

This is clearly a quiet room. On the large desk, there is an incense burner with curling smoke and a thick stack of white paper, with the Four Treasures of the Study placed beside it.

Yan Xuzi held a scroll in his left hand and tapped the table with his right finger, pretending to be profound, and said: "Reading enlightens the mind and nature. You have done so many immoral things, which clearly shows that you have not received a proper education in the mortal world."

Sit down and start copying from the first book.

While copying from books to learn, you must honestly confront your mistakes in order to thoroughly correct them one by one.

Chapter Ten: The cat is just a conveyor of the protagonist's halo...

Copying books?

Lin Xucheng was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. He had thought he was being called over to listen to the sect leader's sermon, and he was secretly delighted to hear a Nascent Soul Realm expert personally give a sermon, which was an incredible opportunity.

But it turned out to be a misunderstanding; all they wanted me to do was copy the book.

"Yes! I will follow the Patriarch's instructions!" Although somewhat disappointed, Lin Xucheng still hurriedly performed the disciple's salute, then sat down and began grinding ink to prepare to carefully copy the book.

Forget about copying any books, he'd be happy to be sent to sweep the streets or empty chamber pots as long as he could stay far away from the top!

Lingya Peak is simply not a place for humans to live!

Since he could sit in the sect leader's quiet room and have the sect leader personally supervise his copying of books, it meant that the sect leader still valued him, the Nine-Sound Divine Child. If he performed well, he might even be chosen as a closed-door disciple, which would be far better than following that old man Qiu Bai...

As he fantasized about wonderful things, the halo around him began to shine and slowly spread, trying to envelop the sect leader.

Yan Xuzi narrowed his eyes slightly, coldly watching as the dazzling aura of fortune remained unbroken, unable to affect his emotions.
