Training the Villain to Become a Big Sister Obsessed - Chapter 101
Is she dead?
Lanshan Jun thought unconsciously. She couldn’t perceive the outside world, nor could she perceive her own existence; only her consciousness remained.
In this state, Cangwu must be worried sick.
If this truly was the fault of that fox, and she was this affected from merely a scratch on her fingertip, how much more serious must it be for Xiao Jiu?
And Lingguang and the others…
Lanshan Jun thought through all the people around her, straining to recall everyone and everything she could. She could feel her consciousness slowly becoming blurred.
Her sixth sense immediately warned her: if her consciousness disappeared, would she, this person, cease to exist?
“Lanshan.”
Lanshan Jun’s soul trembled. She heard Lan Yan’s voice—or, more accurately, she perceived Lan Yan’s presence.
“Lanshan, you don’t belong to this world. Even Heaven isn’t favoring you. Headmaster Xuan just said that dual souls cannot coexist in one body and require a new physical body. And then you happened to be afflicted with Reincarnation. What a coincidence,” Lan Yan said with the triumphant smile of a victor, seeming to gloat.
Reincarnation.
Lanshan Jun knew what this was: a secret drug with the Bodhi Heart as its main ingredient.
“I’ve been poisoned with Reincarnation, but you haven’t?” Lanshan Jun tried to communicate with Lan Yan using her consciousness, unsure if the other party could receive it.
“Of course not.” Lan Yan laughed, and when she had laughed enough, she said, “You protected me so well. How could I possibly be poisoned? Oh, right, you might not know this: Reincarnation poisons not only the body but also the soul. You hid me in the Sea of Consciousness, so Reincarnation naturally couldn’t poison my soul.”
“One mountain cannot hold two tigers, Lanshan. Accept your fate. Reincarnation is an insoluble poison.”
“If I die, you won’t be able to live using this body. Cangwu will kill you again,” Lanshan Jun stated with conviction.
“Who said I wanted to use this body? They are already preparing to reshape a physical body. This body is useless. I will be reborn, and you will rot and perish along with this body.” Lan Yan was ecstatic. She felt incredibly lucky; not only did she get to live a second life, but now she also had the chance to regain a physical body.
When that happens, she will not only have the Divine Weapon in hand but also the Artifact, the Chaos Map. All her friends will be young hall masters and young masters with status and power across the Four Seas. She should be the protagonist.
“It will be the same.”
“What?”
“No matter which body you use, it will be the same. I live, only then can you live. If I die, Cangwu will hunt you down and kill you, even if you run to the ends of the earth.”
Lan Yan was silent for a moment, then let out a cold scoff.
Beside the bodies being warmed by spiritual power, Zhaochen keenly noticed a subtle anomaly. Lanshan Jun and Xiao Jiu’s bodies were lying together, but the vitality of the two bodies was slightly different. Xiao Jiu, who possessed the Four-Directions bloodline, actually had less vitality than the mortal Lanshan Jun.
Zhaochen’s expression was truly serious. Elder Yu spoke up to ask her, “What’s wrong?”
Zhaochen, being of the Slaughter Xuanwu bloodline, couldn’t see with her eyes, but she “saw” more than ordinary people.
“Elder Yu, could you check Lanshan’s Spiritual Platform again?”
Elder Yu looked at Lanshan Jun upon hearing this, deep in thought.
“Glazed Serried Leaves?” Lingguang asked, puzzled. “How did you know it was this thing?”
Cangwu handed the scroll in her hand to her. After reading it, Lingguang’s expression was joyful: “It really is!”
This matter was indeed difficult to explain, so Cangwu had already changed the content of the scroll, clarifying that the Glazed Serried Leaves were the countermeasure to the Bodhi Tree.
“Glazed Serried Leaves! Glazed Serried Leaves!” Lingguang’s eyes lit up. “The Vermilion Bird Hall has Glazed Serried Leaves! It was the congratulatory gift presented by the Liu family during the Vermilion Bird Grand Feast!”
“Let’s go, let’s go! Hurry out! I’ll send a message to Qingcheng right now and have her go to the Vermilion Bird Hall to retrieve it.”
With Lingguang’s reminder, Cangwu also remembered. No wonder the name had sounded familiar when she first heard it.
In less than an hour, the group had left the Vermilion Bird Hall. Lingguang quickly sent a message to Song Qingcheng. On the other side, Song Qingcheng had just arrived at Fuyu Isle to tell her mother about the situation and naturally brought up the request after seeing the message.
“Glazed Serried Leaves?” The Fuyu Isle Master frowned slightly.
Seeing her mother’s expression, Song Qingcheng felt a faint unease in her heart. “Although the Glazed Serried Leaves are precious, Lanshan saved Huanhuan back then, and the Hall Master has always repaid kindness. She should take it out to save a life.”
The Fuyu Isle Master sighed and shook her head. “If there truly were Glazed Serried Leaves, the Hall Master would naturally let you take it to save a life.”
Song Qingcheng was slightly stunned: “What do you mean, Mother?”
“A few days ago, the Hall Master wished to use the Glazed Serried Leaves to create a body double for Huanhuan. Only when attempting to use it was it discovered that the Glazed Serried Leaves were fake.” The Fuyu Isle Master’s eyes deepened. “Worthy of the person who single-handedly supports the entire Liu family—Liu Banxin certainly has the audacity to present a fake Glazed Serried Leaves at the Vermilion Bird Grand Feast.”
Song Qingcheng frowned. So many people were present at the Vermilion Bird Grand Feast, and the Liu family presented the Glazed Serried Leaves right before everyone’s eyes. How could they have managed to deceive everyone in front of so many people?
The Fuyu Isle Master saw her confusion and offered an explanation: “The Glazed Serried Leaves, like the Bodhi Tree, are naturally occurring spiritual objects, without roots or seeds. The difference is that the Bodhi Tree loves water and often grows on the banks of rivers, making it traceable. The Glazed Serried Leaves, however, require extremely harsh growing conditions, making them essentially untraceable and therefore much rarer. A hundred years ago, Qingyun Academy sent messages to the Four Halls and all the immortal sects and families that the Glazed Serried Leaves were extinct. Some believed it, some didn’t, but indeed, there has been no news of Glazed Serried Leaves since then. Even records in books are very sparse, and those who have seen what it looks like are even fewer.”
Song Qingcheng listened, pursing her lips. Her hand touched the jade communication token, her thoughts complex. How was she supposed to reply to Lingguang?
With no Glazed Serried Leaves available, even reconstructing a new body would be useless.
The next moment, the jade tokens at Song Qingcheng and the Fuyu Isle Master’s waists flickered simultaneously, followed by an urgent voice echoing outside the main hall—
“Isle Master! Sea demons are attacking the isle!”
“How could this be!?” Song Qingcheng’s eyes showed surprise. Fuyu Isle is the greatest immortal sect in the Four Seas. Are these sea demons insane?
The Fuyu Isle Master’s expression remained unchanged. She flicked her long sleeve and said calmly, “Go and see.”
Song Qingcheng bit her lip, sent a message to Lingguang, and then followed her mother’s footsteps.
“The Glazed Serried Leaves are fake. They became extinct a hundred years ago.”
When Lingguang received the message, her expression instantly froze.
Mohuaisheng and Mu Fuan, seeing her face growing increasingly distressed and her eyes starting to turn red, also became anxious: “What’s wrong?”
Without Song Qingcheng by her side, Lingguang choked back her tears: “The Glazed Serried Leaves at the Vermilion Bird Hall are fake. The Glazed Serried Leaves became extinct a hundred years ago.”
Just as the Spirit King had said.
Cangwu’s hand clenched into a fist, her knuckles cracking.
With the hope that had just ignited now shattered, Cangwu expressionlessly turned and transformed into a streak of light, heading towards Elder Yu’s Cloud Courtyard.
Lingguang and the others followed her.
The group arrived at the Cloud Courtyard just as Elder Yu was examining Lanshan Jun’s Spiritual Platform.
Zhaochen tilted her head and asked, “Did you find it?”
Cangwu watched Lanshan Jun with a cold face. Lingguang couldn’t speak. Mohuaisheng and Mu Fuan exchanged glances, and finally, Mohuaisheng spoke up: “We found it.”
Zhaochen was about to sigh in relief and smile when she heard him add, “The Glazed Serried Leaves have become extinct.”
The curve of her lips slowly flattened. Zhaochen murmured, “How could this be…”
As the words fell, Elder Yu withdrew her spiritual power, her brows slowly furrowing.
Cangwu finally spoke: “Elder Yu, how is my Senior Sister?”
“Strange, why does Lanshan have a Sea of Consciousness?” Elder Yu said, then went to examine Xiao Jiu.
A moment later, she withdrew her hand, and Elder Yu’s gaze turned towards Lanshan Jun.
“Reincarnation uses the Bodhi Heart as a medicinal catalyst to cause the soul to fall into a state of unconsciousness. With the soul trapped, the Sea of Consciousness should also disappear. This is indeed the case for Xiao Jiu. However, Lanshan still possesses a Sea of Consciousness, and there is even a layer of restriction within it.”
“So, is there a soul currently present within Lanshan’s body?” Zhaochen couldn’t help but ask.
Elder Yu nodded: “It can be said so.”
“Could it be because Xiao Jiu was more seriously injured than Lanshan?” Lingguang speculated.
After all, one only had a scratched fingertip, while the other was severely bitten.
Cangwu’s eyelashes fluttered. She recalled the two Senior Sisters fighting under the Heavenly Tribulation when ascending the three thousand steps, and even earlier, there seemed to have been two “Senior Sisters” appearing.
One protecting her, and one trying to kill her.
Her gaze fell, cold as ice, and Cangwu curled her lips into a sneer.
She understood. It was Lan Yan.
“There are no Glazed Serried Leaves. What should we do?” Lingguang asked.
“Glazed Serried Leaves…” Elder Yu said softly. “Perhaps you can go to one place to check.”
The group simultaneously looked up.
“Changze Mountain,” Elder Yu’s voice was even quieter, stirring up some memory. “Changze Mountain once belonged to the territory of the Valley of Spiritual Medicine. Glazed Serried Leaves once grew there. And even before Reincarnation became the secret drug of the Valley of A Thousand Poisons, the Valley Master of the Valley of Spiritual Medicine was already researching an antidote for this drug. Although the Valley of Spiritual Medicine is gone, there might still be antidote formulas left behind by the medical cultivators of the Valley.”
“Alright, we’ll go.”
Cangwu agreed without hesitation. As long as there was even a sliver of a chance, she would not give up.
“I must take Senior Sister with me.”
“Why? Lanshan won’t be in danger at the Academy, and bringing her with you will be inconvenient,” Mohuaisheng tried to persuade her.
Lingguang nodded in agreement: “That’s right. I know you’re worried about Lanshan, but all the back-and-forth travel isn’t good for her body either.”
“I will not leave Senior Sister,” Cangwu insisted stubbornly.
Having guessed the possible existence of Lan Yan, Cangwu would even less likely leave her Senior Sister alone.
“Enough. I will go with you,” Elder Yu waved her hand. “Even if it’s just to visit an old friend.”
With Elder Yu present, no one spoke further. Lanshan Jun and Xiao Jiu were also brought onto the Cloud Boat.
Inside the cabin of the Cloud Boat, Cangwu held the woman’s cold hand. Spiritual power entered her again and again, yet she failed to find the familiar aura.
Cangwu had already sent messages to the Eastern Lord and the Valley Master before entering Yunmeng Marsh, respectfully requesting that they find a way to save her Senior Sister, but there had been no reply until now.
“Senior Sister, I will definitely bring you back.” Cangwu lowered her head and buried her face in the woman’s palm.
“How disgusting.”
In the Sea of Consciousness, Lan Yan watched all of this with a grim expression. Now that Lanshan Jun’s soul was trapped, she was no longer restrained. If she wanted, she could strike a palm towards Cangwu’s brow right now.
At such close range, Cangwu wouldn’t have time to react, and her blood would surely splatter! Then she could finally get her revenge!
Just thinking this made Lan Yan feel exceedingly satisfied, but she still restrained herself and didn’t act.
She had to wait, wait until the new physical body was created. Then she could break free from this body, and she would possess a clean, flawless new physical body.
As for Lanshan Jun’s words—that Cangwu would surely kill her?
Hmph. So what if Cangwu’s swordsmanship was superior to hers? So what if Cangwu had the Azure Dragon bloodline? Without a sword in her hand, and without a sharp weapon on her person, how could she defeat her, who held both the Divine Weapon and the Artifact?
Soon, Cangwu raised her head and rubbed her brows.
Lan Yan glared at the shimmering golden and silver object between her fingers with wide-open, furious eyes.
What was that! That was the Divine Weapon, Endless! That was the Artifact, the Chaos Map!
