The male supporting character was actually myself.

In the script, after the protagonist subdues Zi Ling, he travels to Thousand Ice Island and also captures the Butterfly Demon, the Goddess Ye Qing, and even takes the Ice Feather Clan princess with him. It seems we've already followed the protagonist's route ahead of time?

The little cat girl lay on his bed, swinging her two soft white paws back and forth. "Ever since the script was gone, I've been mistaken for a cat demon again. I'm so panicked and don't know what to do!"

Jiang Chen took out a small plate of dried fish from the food maker and handed it to her, comforting her, "What's the panic? I'm here for you."

I suspect that since the main system is disconnected and unable to control the mission world, it must have lost the ability to plan the protagonist's route in advance.

In other words, the entire mission world has actually broken free from control and is developing freely.

The protagonist's initial trajectory will certainly remain unchanged, but we are a variable. From the moment I died, I changed the future development of the entire world.

Therefore, when faced with a changed situation, he should be able to adapt to the circumstances.

However, without a script, the lead actor shouldn't be as difficult to deal with as in the past.

Let's just follow this route and try to save as many as we can.

"Huh? Is that so?" The catgirl jumped up excitedly, stuffing dried fish into her mouth and tossing her silver hair. "As expected, my host is the best! I'm going back to sleep now, goodnight host!"

She skipped and hopped around, munching on dried fish, before closing the door to her host's room. Then she quietly slipped into the next room, which Chi Ling had left a door open for her.

"Heh, I thought you had something to say, but it turns out you just went begging for food again." Chi Ling had just finished swallowing the precious Xuanling Pill and was lying on the bed enjoying the comfort with his eyes half-closed. He glanced at her and muttered, "Even beggars don't know how to beg for anything useful. Next time, remember to be cute and ask for his dumplings!"

"That's the real good stuff; these dried fish... they're just for satisfying the palate."

The cat girl popped a fish into her mouth. "I don't need to suffer through cultivation. Dried fish is enough for me."

"He who eats another's food is bound to him," Chi Ling sighed after finishing the fragrant and delicious dried fish. "You're still too young. It's normal that you don't like cultivating. I didn't like it before either."

But to avenge the grudge that was sealed for 100,000 years, I still need to try my best to recover to my peak condition and then find Shili Tang to have a fair fight!

"From now on, if you need anything, just mention my name, and I'll protect you."

Chapter Fourteen: The Auction in White Elephant City

"Okay, sure!" The little white cat stuffed another dried fish into her mouth, agreeing readily, but in her heart she was thinking, "What a silly goose!"

I guess I'll have to rely on my host, the great one.

After all, in the original storyline, you were taken advantage of as soon as you met the protagonist, and with sweet talk and the system, you were directly taken in and added to the harem.

In the early stages, the protagonist always summons the fox spirit when there's trouble and when there's nothing else to do.

Is she protecting him?

They'd probably be so rich they'd be helping the seller count the money.

The next morning, after having breakfast, Jiang Chen and Bai Yu, along with a cat, a fox, and a ghost, flew on their swords straight to Thousand Ice Island.

Just as they disappeared into the horizon of Caiyun Town, Qin Xiuer, holding a beauty in his arms, had just woken up from a sweet dream in Baixiang City.

Last night's passionate encounter was unforgettable, and he also became extremely fond of the system for conquering beautiful girls.

After successfully winning over Lu'er, Qin Xiuer received two secret manuals as a reward and prepared to look through them to see how to cultivate them.

After all, one must have strength in the world of cultivation, otherwise how can one rely solely on women for protection?

One book, "The Thunderclap Technique," and one book, "The Heart-Cleansing Sutra."

Based on the titles, he guessed that one was about cultivating the mind and the other about refining the body. He first clicked on "Thunderclap Technique" to see what was written inside, but unexpectedly, a dialog box popped up from the system: Do you want to use/learn "Thunderclap Technique"?

Qin Xiuer paused for a moment and then chose yes. Immediately, it was as if some memories that did not belong to her were loaded into her mind, and she had actually mastered this skill!

It's just like playing a game; you just allocate skill points to increase stats.

He then clicked to learn the "Qingxin Sutra," and with these two skills, he could be considered a cultivator who knew some minor spells.

The cultivation levels are divided into ten levels: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Out-of-Body, Divine Separation, Body Integration, Mahayana, Tribulation Crossing, and Supreme God.

As long as you keep completing the tasks to conquer the beautiful girls and accumulate cultivation points, you can simply click to break through when you reach a certain level. It couldn't be easier.

The century-long cultivation reward he received previously only allowed him to reach the Foundation Establishment level.

There is still a long way to go before one reaches the Golden Core stage, where one can fly on a sword.

Qin Xiuer opened the task in the guide and carefully looked at the interface.

Romanceable character: Yang Qianqian.

Identity: The only daughter of the lord of Baixiang City.

Difficulty: Four stars.

(Obsessed with cultivation and martial arts, especially admiring the various martial arts techniques within the Thirteen Provinces)

Walkthrough progress: 0/100

Favorability: 2

Rewards: 1 Earth-level Secret Manual; 100 years of cultivation; 100 points

It seems this young lady lives in a very remote place, so she yearns for "Central Plains martial arts".

But it's only slightly more difficult than Lulu's.

When raising Lu'er's favorability, it only took a little over an hour to max it out by staying by her side. The system's automatic strategy shouldn't be too difficult for Yang Qianqian either.

The most important thing now is to find an opportunity to get her within three meters of me...

The reason I have these two points of goodwill is because yesterday, when she rode the white elephant through the street, the people on both sides cheered, so the journey was very slow, and I was sitting in the teahouse at just the right distance.

Based on the time spent in contact and the automatic increase in favorability, it will only take two hours to fully raise the favorability!

It's a pity that there are no cinemas or theaters in the cultivation world where one can sit for an hour or two.

"Brother Xiu, you're awake so early?" Lu'er stretched lazily, hugged his arm and said coquettishly, "Sleep a little longer, after breakfast we'll go see the auction in White Elephant City together."

Although this place is remote, we should be able to find some useful materials and local specialties.

An auction?

Upon hearing this word, Qin Xiuer immediately had a sudden realization.

How could I forget such an important occasion after transmigrating into the world of cultivation!

Auctions are a great place for novel protagonists to show off and slap their faces. Add to that the exciting elements of finding bargains with a cheat code, being favored by beautiful women, and killing to steal treasures, and it becomes a place full of legendary charm.

"Lu'er, do you have any cultivation techniques or secret manuals on you that you can auction off?"

He is now very self-aware; with his current cultivation level, he should avoid murder and robbery. So, if he wants to shock the public, he has to auction off valuable treasures.

Lu'er was only successfully won over and became loyal and devoted to him (no, not infatuated), not stupid. So she hurriedly reminded him, "Brother Xiu, you can't do this."

All the techniques I have learned are the inner sect techniques of the Qingfeng Sect, and none of them may be passed on to outsiders.

Even letting Brother Xiu take a look is not allowed, let alone auctioning it.

If discovered, not only will I be punished, but those who practiced the technique will also be held accountable.

At that time, being skinned alive would be the lightest punishment; a more severe punishment might be having one's golden core destroyed, one's cultivation ruined, and being expelled from the sect.

Anyone who secretly transmits the inner sect's cultivation techniques will surely be ground to dust as a warning to others!

As she spoke, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

They finally encountered an ancient ferocious beast that could trick them, but Chi Ling managed to escape.

If I could kill Chi Ling and swallow her golden core, I would gain nine-tenths of her cultivation and, combined with the Qingfeng Sect's cultivation method, I could definitely break through and advance to become a High God. Then I could ascend to the Upper Realm and live a carefree life as an immortal!

Why bother with all that arduous cultivation here?

Qin Xiuer secretly felt it was a pity.

Given the status of the Qingfeng Sect, it's highly likely that its inner disciples cultivate Heaven-level techniques.

The Xuan-level reward the system gave me was indeed a bit lacking.

"Fine, let's go to the auction and see what it's like."

Seeing him get up, Lu'er hurriedly got up to help him dress while gently comforting him, "Brother Xiu, don't worry, I have a lot of spirit stones here, and we haven't reached the point where we need to auction off cultivation techniques."

Besides, how many wealthy people in this remote place could afford good cultivation techniques?

They'd probably fight tooth and nail for even a mere Yellow-rank item!

"Isn't Yellow Level the lowest level?" Qin Xiuer was completely bewildered.

"Brother Xiu, you don't know this, do you? Heaven and earth are mysterious and mysterious, and any cultivation technique that can be graded is very rare. For a prestigious sect like Qingfeng Sect, inner disciples cultivate Earth-grade techniques, and only those who receive the true teachings can learn Heaven-grade techniques."

Outer disciples can only learn Xuan-level techniques at most, while menial disciples can only practice ordinary techniques.

Nevertheless, they are the envy of many disciples from smaller sects.

After all, the Qingfeng Sect's ordinary cultivation techniques are all of the upper three grades, and as long as one cultivates diligently, there is a chance to be promoted to an inner disciple.

Having gained a basic understanding of the world's setting, Qin Xiuer, who possessed two Xuan-level cultivation techniques, was in a good mood.

After washing up and having breakfast, Lu'er first went to the silk shop to pick up the custom-made clothes for him to change into. Then the two went to the most famous treasure pavilion in White Elephant City, where a grand auction was to be held today.

When they arrived, the entrance to the Treasure Pavilion was already packed with people.

The news of an auction of this caliber was released months ago.

The prominent figures in White Elephant City had already received VIP invitations, and the organizers had clearly reserved some seats, which would be sold at high prices on the day of the event.

"I heard that all the items being auctioned at the Treasure Pavilion today are rare treasures!"

"A 100,000-year-old fire crystal is just an appetizer, don't you think? Haven't you seen that all the famous people from within a thousand miles have come?"

"Tsk tsk, I heard the grand finale is a Yellow-level cultivation technique! It came from the Thirteen Provinces!"

"Oh my, those are some good things! It's a pity, we can only listen and watch. How can we have enough spirit stones to fight with the wealthy and powerful gangs?"

"I heard that Young Master Qian was waiting in the VIP section early on. It seems she is determined to win."

……

Amidst the clamor of discussion, Qin Xiuer's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing news of her target. "Lu'er, can you find a way to get VIP tickets?"

Chapter Fifteen: Hidden Truth!

"The VIP seats?" Lu'er raised her chin slightly and said with a smug smile, "Brother Xiu is waiting here. I'll be right back!"

Just as she obtained two VIP tickets under the name of a Qingfeng Sect disciple, elders from various gangs gathered far away on Tiangang Mountain.
