Training the Villain to Become a Big Sister Obsessed - Chapter 129

“Lanyan, you’re back.” Zhao Chen  came forward, frowning slightly as she asked with concern, “Did something happen?”

Lanyan Jun  shot a look at Cang Wu before he could speak. Cang Wu smiled and pursed his lips.

He wouldn’t say anything.

“No, we just took a little extra time while searching for the Seed of Life.” Lanyan Jun glanced around the cave. “Where is Huaisheng?”

Lingguang, who had followed them in, said: “She left. Her body was mostly recovered, and she calmed down, so she wanted to go seek opportunities in the Land of the Ruins.”

“That’s good.” Lanyan Jun nodded, relieved.

The current Huaisheng would be no match for Chong Yan; she would be utterly crushing herself against a rock.

“Such a beautiful Older Sister.”

A soft, sweet voice drew Lanyan Jun’s attention. In the seven days they were gone, Bai Chuan’s  younger sister had woken up.

“Bai Li?” Lanyan Jun walked over and half-crouched in front of her.

Bai Li’s skin was excessively pale from long-term lack of sun exposure; her blood vessels were clearly visible beneath her skin. Even though she was awake, her body was still weak.

“Older Sister knows me?” Bai Li was a little confused, then blinked and looked at Bai Chuan.

Bai Chuan smiled, touched her head, and pointed to the people: “Besides Older Sister Zhao Chen, Lady Lanyan Jun and Older Sister Cang Wu are also our benefactors. A-Li, do you remember?”

Lanyan Jun was touched by this side of Bai Chuan. The Bai Chuan they had seen before was a thief with sticky fingers, who never considered others’ circumstances or lives for her own gain, bullied the weak, and was greedy for life and afraid of death. Yet, in front of her sister, she was a polite older sister.

“I remember.” Bai Li looked at Lanyan Jun and Cang Wu’s faces, etching their appearances into her memory.

She then stood up, assisted by Bai Chuan’s hand, and very formally bowed with clasped hands to Lanyan Jun: “Thank you, Older Sister, for saving my life.”

Bai Li was about thirteen or fourteen years old, but her height only reached Lanyan Jun’s chest, and her frame was extremely thin and frail.

“You’ve just recovered from a serious illness, you don’t have to be so formal,” Lanyan Jun carefully supported Bai Li’s wrist and helped her up.

Cang Wu walked over. Seeing Bai Li’s weak appearance, his gaze coldly fell on Bai Chuan: “She’s so frail. You still brought her here?”

The Land of the Ruins was good, but it was also dangerous. A person as young and weak as Bai Li would struggle to survive here. Bai Chuan was leading her into a fire pit.

Bai Chuan opened her mouth, intending to explain: “I…”

“Bai Chuan and I are not blood sisters.” Bai Li defended Bai Chuan, her voice rising slightly, “She saved me and even gave me a name. Even though you are also a benefactor, you can’t talk about Bai Chuan like that.”

Bai Chuan reached out and stroked her chest, her tone a little scolding: “I will tell them these things myself. Don’t get so agitated.”

Bai Li took two deep breaths to calm down, then raised her head and looked directly at Cang Wu: “Bai Chuan is a good person.”

“A good person?” Cang Wu raised an eyebrow at Bai Chuan.

Bai Chuan lowered her eyes, feeling guilty.

Bai Li’s delicate eyebrows suddenly knitted together. Lanyan Jun saw the situation going south, quickly pulled Cang Wu behind her, and asked with a smile: “A-Li, how did you get here?”

A-Li?

Cang Wu gritted his teeth, watching the woman’s back.

Facing Lanyan Jun, Bai Li’s tone softened. She shook her head: “I don’t remember.”

As she spoke, her body suddenly went limp. Bai Chuan quickly helped her to the edge of the bed to sit down: “You rest well. I’ll talk to them.”

Bai Li lay on the bed watching her, still clutching a piece of Bai Chuan’s robe corner. Bai Chuan’s robe was the lowest grade, offering only the simplest cleaning effect, and the material was quite coarse.

Bai Li touched the cloth corner between her fingers, a flash of regret and heartache in her eyes.

If it weren’t for her, Bai Chuan wouldn’t have to live such a hard life.

“There are many immortal clans in the Four Seas Immortal Sect. The Bai family is insignificant; perhaps no one has ever heard of us. The last time the Land of the Ruins opened, the Family Lord exhausted all means to send five disciples with good aptitude from the Bai family here, hoping we would gain opportunities and return to the Four Seas to strengthen the Bai family. But at that time, a great demon caused chaos in the Land of the Ruins. In the end, only one of us was left—me—but I was also seriously injured.”

“With my spiritual energy exhausted, I stumbled into this cave, trying to avoid the scorching heat of the Three Days Above the Sky, and saw the dying A-Li. Knowing my life was nearly over and that I probably couldn’t return to the Four Seas to report back to the Family Lord, I gave the last Vigor-Nourishing Pill (Yangyuan Dan) to A-Li.”

“I just didn’t expect to survive, and A-Li also woke up. She couldn’t remember her past or her name, so I named her Bai Li. Since then, we’ve been staying in Cloud Hidden Mountain. A-Li is frail and needs Vigor-Nourishing Pills, but it’s hard to find Pill Cultivators in the Land of the Ruins, so I had no choice but to…”

Bai Chuan glanced at Lanyan Jun as she spoke, omitting the parts where she used a different appearance to steal magical artifacts and Qiankun Pouches.

“I took those magical artifacts so I could find someone in Cloud Hidden Mountain to trade for some pills.”

Vigor-Nourishing Pills were the most common item among cultivators in the Four Seas. Even larger immortal sects would issue entire bags of them to their disciples. Yet, surprisingly, they were difficult to find here in the Land of the Ruins, which was rich in resources and pure spiritual energy.

“Then does A-Li’s body still need Vigor-Nourishing Pills now?” Lanyan Jun asked.

A little joy appeared on Bai Chuan’s face. She said excitedly: “A-Li used a Marrow-Cleansing Pill (Xisui Dan). She’s been reborn, and now she can cultivate in the Land of the Ruins…”

“No, she cannot.” Zhao Chen walked over, having been listening all along.

“Cannot?” The smile on Bai Chuan’s face slowly disappeared. “Why? That medical cultivator said A-Li’s meridians were blocked, and she could cultivate as long as she cleansed her marrow and remade her body.”

Zhao Chen pursed her lips, then spoke after a long pause: “Didn’t you know she has no spiritual meridian or root?”

Bai Chuan looked at Bai Li on the bed in disbelief. She quickly reached out and touched Bai Li’s wrist, carefully injecting spiritual power to investigate.

Spiritual meridian, spiritual root…

“She has them, she has both.”

Bai Chuan turned, her eyes seeking help from Lanyan Jun.

Zhao Chen couldn’t possibly be wrong.

Lanyan Jun took a step forward, her fingertip resting on Bai Li’s forehead. Spiritual power slowly probed inward.

The gentle spiritual power followed Bai Li’s meridians, searching deeper. It did indeed find a complete and intact spiritual meridian, which was connected to a pure Water Spiritual Root.

She really did have them…

Suddenly, Lanyan Jun’s gaze sharpened, and her spiritual power probed even deeper. The spiritual meridian was laid out there like a piece of paper—it was a fake spiritual meridian. Investigating the spiritual root, she found that it, too, was fake, just like the meridian.

Withdrawing her hand, Lanyan Jun looked at the expectant Bai Chuan and whispered: “Her spiritual meridian and spiritual root are both fake.”

“How could that be…” Bai Chuan couldn’t believe it, so Lanyan Jun guided her hand to inspect it again.

If a person was born without a spiritual root, they could still cultivate one later, but without a spiritual meridian, no amount of effort would allow them to cultivate.

“How can she not have a spiritual meridian?” Bai Chuan murmured aloud.

“I checked before, and she should have had a spiritual meridian,” Zhao Chen’s voice was low. “Perhaps her spiritual meridian was taken by someone?”

“Heh, extracting a spiritual meridian?” A mocking laugh came from the side. “How daring to imagine that.”

“The meridians grow from flesh and blood, and the spiritual meridian connects to the divine soul. Forcibly extracting a spiritual meridian would likely cause the soul to be completely annihilated.”

A fox with its tail raised high walked over. Its narrow fox eyes casually swept over Bai Li. “Her divine soul is incomplete. The spiritual meridian is on the other half of her divine soul. To be capable of soul-splitting like this, this girl’s identity is not simple.”

“If you want her body to stop being so weak, find the other half of her divine soul and merge the two.”

Lanyan Jun saw the fox and remembered the agreement they had.

The nine-tailed fox’s eyes stared coldly at Lanyan Jun.

“You, come here.”

Lanyan Jun guiltily raised her hand and smoothed the corner of her eyebrow, following the fox.

The nine-tailed fox had also made a nest for the frail little fox. The little fox’s leg injury had healed, and its breathing was more stable than before.

“You said Wu Luo’s  last fragment of spiritual consciousness is on it. I have already healed its injury, but it still hasn’t woken up.”

“Check again using the Primordial Chaos Map (Hundun Tu).”

Lanyan Jun nodded and activated the Primordial Chaos Map.

Originally, her spiritual power mixed wind and water, then slowly faded until only wind was left, its color a pale blue. Now, it was interspersed with barely noticeable gold.

The Primordial Chaos Map was becoming easier to use, and Lanyan Jun’s state of mind was becoming more and more peaceful.

After examining the little fox, Lanyan Jun was a little surprised: “Only spiritual consciousness?”

This little fox only contained a fragment of Wu Luo’s spiritual consciousness, and none of its own divine soul. Simply put, it was just an empty shell and definitely couldn’t wake up.

This situation could be seen even without the Primordial Chaos Map…

Lanyan Jun looked up at the nine-tailed fox: “You knew this already, didn’t you? You want to complete Wu Luo’s spiritual consciousness and put it into this fox?”

Other than this reason, she couldn’t think of anything else that would be worth the trouble for this nine-tailed fox to preserve this empty shell.

“Why not?” the nine-tailed fox countered. “Before I can create a new body for Wu Luo, I naturally have to find a good place for her spiritual consciousness.”

Lanyan Jun was speechless.

“Let’s begin. You complete Wu Luo’s spiritual consciousness, and I will give you the Seed of Life,” the nine-tailed fox truly believed what Lanyan Jun had said—that she and Cang Wu were only delayed for a few days while searching for the Seed of Life.

“Alright,” Lanyan Jun nodded.

Wu Luo’s spiritual consciousness was already being nurtured in the Primordial Chaos Map. All she had to do was take the fragment from the little fox, complete it within the Primordial Chaos Map, and then place it back into the little fox.

Although she knew what to do, Lanyan Jun was still a little nervous inside.

After the last fragment of spiritual consciousness was taken into the Primordial Chaos Map, Lanyan Jun also released her own spiritual consciousness into it.

Within the Primordial Chaos Map was a void. Countless points of light floated and pulsed, slowly gathering together.

These were all fragments of Wu Luo’s spiritual consciousness.

Lanyan Jun’s spiritual power was entirely golden in the Primordial Chaos Map. She released her spiritual power to wrap around these light points, causing them to fuse together.

Lanyan Jun dared not be careless in the slightest. Being inside the Primordial Chaos Map, she completely let down her guard and naturally didn’t notice the figure slowly approaching from behind.

The Spirit King (Lingwang) wore a black robe, her eyes greedily scanning the back of the person before her.

She slowly raised her hands and looped them over the woman’s shoulders, intending to pull her into an embrace…

The corner of Lanyan Jun’s eye caught a flash of dark color—it was a corner of a robe, woven with silver threads in a hidden pattern, looking luxurious and noble.

Lanyan Jun’s eyelids jumped. She instinctively turned her head: “Who!?”

The moment she saw the face—

“Cang Wu?” Lanyan Jun was confused for a moment, then instantly realized, “Spirit King!”

The unfused light points instantly scattered, hiding from the Spirit King and moving behind Lanyan Jun.

“Ah, you recognized me?” The Spirit King was very happy. She raised her arms, wanting Lanyan Jun to see more clearly. “Am I better than her?”

Lanyan Jun took a step back in fear: “You, how are you here?”

Was that person telling the truth? Could the Spirit King really come here?

The Spirit King saw the fear in her eyes, and her face instantly darkened: “You fear me? Why are you afraid of me?”

Her expression changed again and again. The Spirit King then put on a smile and looked at her: “What do you want me to call you? How about Senior Sister?”

“Senior Sister, I am also Cang Wu.”
