The Villain Starts From Dual Cultivation With The Protagonist's Master

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is my grandson. He has been unconscious for three days."

The old man knelt down and pleaded for help from Luo Li and the others.

"I have searched for nearby doctors, but to no avail. I can only seek help from you immortals to save my grandson."

Behind the old man, two villagers carried a boy of about ten years old. His face was pale and he was unconscious.

Wu Dian glanced at the boy and ignored the kneeling old man, continuing to chat with his two subordinates.

Unable to bear seeing an elderly person kneeling, Luo Li went forward to help him up and asked, "Please get up first. What happened to your grandson?"

"Immortal, it's like this..."

Su Lianlian was also drawn in by the sudden event and listened to the old man's account.

Like most of the young and middle-aged people in the village, the old man's son and daughter-in-law did business in Wu Country and could only come back to reunite during holidays.

The old man and his grandson relied on each other in the village. In order to supplement their income, the old man raised more than a dozen sheep and usually relied on finding grass in the wasteland to feed them. Occasionally, he would also take the sheep to graze near the village.

Four days ago, the grandson wanted to lighten the burden on his grandfather and went out to graze the sheep without telling him. He didn't return all night.

The old man found his unconscious grandson not far from the village. The boy's body was soaked in blood, fortunately only from the sheep. There were also sheep bones and the corpses of two sheep nearby.

The grandson was brought back home and had a high fever that didn't subside. He started talking nonsense. The old man searched for all the doctors nearby, but without exception, they were helpless and only knew that the boy had been poisoned.

Just then, Luo Li and his group arrived in the village, igniting new hope in the old man.

Recalling the past, tears streamed down the old man's face uncontrollably.

Having exhausted all options for medical treatment, the only hope for his grandson was the cultivators before him.

Luo Li approached the unconscious boy and saw that his face was as pale as paper and his body was emaciated. When she touched his arm, it was as cold as a stone.

At this critical moment of life and death, if he wasn't treated soon, the child would probably not survive the day.

Wu Dian, who had been watching the scene, suddenly spoke, "This child has been poisoned by scorpion venom. Although the poison is not strong, it is complex in nature. Moreover, the optimal treatment time has already passed, and none of us are skilled in medicine. There's no hope, let's prepare for the funeral."

Upon hearing Wu Dian's words, the old man knelt down and cried, knocking his head on the ground.

"Immortals, all-powerful immortals, I beg you to save my grandson. He is my only descendant. If he dies, I don't want to live either!"

Luo Li furrowed her brows. Undeniably, what Wu Dian said was true.

Unable to bear seeing the grief of the old man with white hair, Luo Li decided to help this grandfather and grandson and searched her memories for knowledge of medicine.

When she was a princess in the mortal world, her father had required her to take medical courses.

The book mentioned a type of large scorpion that inhabited the desert on the western side of the Eastern Continent. They had spiritual cores in their bodies and were considered a type of Spirit Beast. An adult scorpion was about the same level as a cultivator in the Foundation Building Stage. Their venom was not strong, but general detoxification pills were ineffective against them. Only the Heavenly Origin Pill had an effect.

Thinking of this, Luo Li took out a bottle of pills from her storage ring.

Wu Dian's voice rang out again.

"Stop. Are you trying to kill this child directly? The poison is not enough, you want him to experience his body exploding before he dies."

"As long as a small amount is taken, it can detoxify within the range that the child can tolerate," Luo Li argued.

She couldn't just watch the old man's grandson die in front of her. As long as there was a glimmer of hope with the Heavenly Origin Pill, she had to try.

Wu Dian sneered, "It's a waste of effort. Ordinary pills can't do it. At least a Seventh Grade Heavenly Origin Pill is needed. How could an Alchemist spend time and energy to refine high-grade basic pills? Even if there is one, you can't afford it."

The grades of pills range from Ninth Grade, with higher grades having better effects. Legend has it that Ninth Grade pills and above have a perfect pill aura.

Ordinary pills are usually Third or Fourth Grade, and the higher the grade, the more difficult they are to refine, with a high failure rate and higher requirements for spiritual herbs.

That's why Wu Dian asserted that no Alchemist would spend a lot of time and energy refining Heavenly Origin Pills with high-grade spiritual herbs.

Su Lianlian shook her head. Although she didn't agree with Wu Dian's approach, she had to admit that there was no solution in this situation, as she was well-versed in the study of poisons.

Ordinary detoxification pills have little effect on this kind of poison. The scorpion venom in children is complex and belongs to a neurotoxin. It causes the poisoned person to have continuous high fever and hallucinations. The Heavenly Origin Pill used by cultivators can restore spiritual consciousness, so cultivators can take the Heavenly Origin Pill to remedy this kind of poison.

However, children are not cultivators, and they cannot withstand the dosage of the Heavenly Origin Pill that can detoxify. The medicinal properties are too much for a child to bear. Whether it can detoxify or not is unknown, but it will definitely cause the child's body to explode and die. Reducing the dosage will not achieve the detoxification effect.

Unless there is a Supreme Grade pill that can fully exert the medicinal properties of the spirit grass, just a little bit can detoxify. But how could such a pill exist...

It actually exists.

Su Lianlian remembered that two days ago, Lu Chuan gave her seven or eight bottles of Peerless Grade Heavenly Origin Pills with pill patterns. As long as she takes one-fourth of a pill, it can detoxify without affecting the child's body.

That idiot said he would give her two bottles as well, and she just needs to take one pill from her own share and feed it to the child.

Without hesitation, Su Lianlian opened her storage ring and took out a Heavenly Origin Pill.

Wu Dian saw Su Lianlian still taking out the pill after listening to his words, and sneered, "Su Lianlian, why do you want to get involved? Do you have a higher-grade Heavenly Origin Pill? Don't make me laugh."

A Heavenly Origin Pill above the Seventh Grade has a market price of around seven hundred Spirit Stones. According to Wu Dian's knowledge, Su Lianlian did not come from a cultivation family, so how could she casually take out a high-level pill to save a stranger?

At this time, Lu Chuan, who was wandering around the village, returned to the crowd. He saw the kneeling old man, the withered-faced little boy behind him, and the solemn expression on Luo Li's face. He recalled this small episode from the original story.

Luo Li, who was eager to save the child, faced Wu Dian's ridicule and wanted to take a risk and feed the Heavenly Origin Pill to the child, but Su Lianlian stopped her.

The doomed child, Luo Li wanted to save him but was powerless, and could only accept reality. After that, she regained her medical skills and encountered another female protagonist...

"Meng Qing, don't you like Su Lianlian? Why don't you advise her? If she learns from the ignorant Luo Li and becomes a murderer, you will be an accomplice."

"I'm not interested in her. What does it have to do with me?" Lu Chuan coldly snorted.

Wu Dian sneered, "Brother, you are as indifferent as ever. Even if you pursued her for several years, don't you have any emotional foundation?"

Lu Chuan imitated Meng Qing's appearance and ignored Wu Dian, standing aside. He closed his eyes and pretended to cultivate.

He extended his spiritual consciousness to observe Luo Li's reaction.

Lu Chuan wanted to know if this plot would unfold after his intervention.

Su Lianlian walked towards the little boy with the Heavenly Origin Pill refined by Lu Chuan. Passing by Luo Li, she said lightly, "Leave this to me."

Luo Li saw the pill in Su Lianlian's hand, transparent and clear, as if it was emitting a faint light. There were also several patterns on it. Just passing by, the strong fragrance left by the pill was incomparable to the Heavenly Origin Pills she bought in the market.

Luo Li sighed softly, "This is... a Ninth Grade Heavenly Origin Pill!"

The hearing of cultivators far surpasses that of ordinary people. Even Wu Dian, who was far away, heard these words.

Wu Dian was about to speak, but his two lackeys spoke first, "Luo Li, stop joking. Are you still hypnotizing yourself? How could it be a Ninth Grade Heavenly Origin Pill? Let me tell you, if Su Lianlian kills that child, you will be an accomplice too. Who let you not stop her and boast about it."

"Are Ninth Grade pills something we can casually take out? Luo Li, you are really humorous."

Indeed, that pill is not a Ninth Grade pill. The faint patterns on it are not something a Ninth Grade pill can have. Luo Li muttered to herself, "It's not Ninth Grade..."

Wu Dian and his two lackeys showed expressions of disdain on their faces, ready to mock her. But Luo Li's muttering continued.

"The patterns on the pill are not something a Ninth Grade pill can have. They are Pill Patterns. That Heavenly Origin Pill is not Ninth Grade, but a perfect pill beyond the Ninth Grade."

Wu Dian didn't believe it.

Su Lianlian had already divided the Heavenly Origin Pill into four parts and fed one-fourth to the little boy.

The villagers didn't understand what kind of pill or grade it was. They only knew that the fairy was feeding the child a miraculous pill. They all looked at the unconscious little boy, waiting for a miracle to happen.

Wu Dian and his lackeys also stared at the little boy. They didn't believe that Su Lianlian, an ordinary disciple of the Immortal Gate, could really take out a high-grade pill.

After swallowing the Heavenly Origin Pill, the little boy's face showed a painful expression and he began to cough violently.

The villagers and Luo Li's faces were filled with worry.

Seeing this scene, Wu Dian felt relieved. It seemed that he had overthought it.

The sound of coughing echoed in the silent village.

Then the little boy spat out a mouthful of black blood. His face, which was pale and lifeless, became slightly rosy. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Su Lianlian, saying, "Am I dead? Sister Fairy, are you here to take me back to the underworld?"
