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

The crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers as the little boy, who had been unconscious for several days, unexpectedly spoke.

The villagers exclaimed in amazement.

"Little Wang woke up! He was poisoned by the Desert Scorpion venom!"

"In the past few decades, although only a few people have been attacked in this desert, anyone who is poisoned by this scorpion venom is bound to die. The fairy is truly a miracle worker."

"The fairy has descended to earth, beautiful and kind-hearted. Grandpa Wang must be overjoyed."

The successful awakening of the little boy brought relief to Luo Li.

Su Lianlian was amused by the boy's words and asked, "You're alive, is there anything wrong with your body?"

When the grandfather saw his grandson wake up, he knelt directly in front of Su Lianlian, tears streaming down his face in excitement.

While crying, he said, "Thank you, fairy. The fairy is truly a blessing for my grandson. I have no way to repay you, no way at all!"

"Please get up, I only did what I should do," Su Lianlian replied.

Luo Li helped the old man up and said, "The scorpion venom has been neutralized. After a few days of rest, he will be able to live a normal life."

Seeing the successful awakening of the little boy and that everything was normal, Wu Dian frowned and felt unhappy.

Su Lianlian couldn't help but think that there might really be high-grade pills. According to Luo Li, it could be the Pill Pattern Heavenly Origin Pill.

How is that possible? The Pill Pattern Heavenly Origin Pill sells for thousands of Spirit Stones in the market. How could Su Lianlian spend thousands of Spirit Stones to save a stranger who has nothing to do with her?

There must be a problem.

Wu Dian suddenly said, "This is just a temporary recovery. The boy will die soon."

His voice wasn't loud, but everyone present heard it clearly.

From the enthusiastic cheers to complete silence, it only took a few seconds.

The grandfather was worried. He didn't know if what Wu Dian said was true or false. The words of the immortal were beyond the understanding of an ordinary old man like him.

Wu Dian continued, "How could Su Lianlian casually produce a pill with a Pill Pattern? It must be a fake pill. The boy only had the poison neutralized, but the medicine will still cause his body to explode and die."

Su Lianlian didn't want to pay attention to Wu Dian. This person was really unreasonable.

"Wu Dian, don't go too far!" Luo Li spoke up.

She had long been fed up with Wu Dian. He acted like he knew everything, but his thoughts were extremely dirty. He wished ill upon others and was completely despicable. No wonder he could be with Sima Dong.

"You see, you're getting anxious," Wu Dian sneered.

"It seems that what I said hit a sore spot. If Su Lianlian really has the Pill Pattern Heavenly Origin Pill, let me appraise it. I have studied the basics of alchemy, and I can tell the grade of the pill at a glance."

Su Lianlian was annoyed by Wu Dian's provocation.

It would be better to set off early, complete the sect mission, and return to the Immortal Gate as soon as possible to cultivate on her own or find Lu Chuan.

"Take it," Su Lianlian said, throwing the pill to herself.

Wu Dian carefully observed the pill he caught.

Even though only three-quarters of it remained, the faint patterns on the pill were still visible. The pill was transparent and spiritual, and upon closer inspection, one could feel the sacred light emanating from it. The fragrance was strong yet refreshing, truly an extraordinary pill.

"This... This is really a Pill Pattern... How is this possible? I have never seen a basic pill like the Heavenly Origin Pill reach this level of quality.

The one who refined it must be a grandmaster! This level of craftsmanship can only be achieved by someone at the Soul Formation Realm or above. Su Lianlian, where did you get this pill from?"

Su Lianlian remained expressionless and used her spiritual energy to retrieve the three-quarters Heavenly Origin Pill, replying, "I found it on my way."

Lu Chuan saw everything with his spiritual sense and unexpectedly felt a bit shy and secretly delighted.

He was shy because the pill he casually refined for practice unexpectedly had such a use. Not only did it gain the recognition of Wu Dian, a small antagonist, but it was also regarded as the work of a powerful expert.

In fact, I'm only at the Foundation Building Stage, sorry.

The old man still couldn't understand the situation and asked Luo Li, "Immortal, how is my grandson?"

Luo Li said, "He's fine. Your grandson has already overcome the danger."

The crowd erupted in excitement once again, with the villagers laughing and cheering. However, this time, a few people in the crowd were cursing Wu Dian.

"It seems that immortals also have good and bad sides. That immortal over there wishes for something bad to happen to Little Wang."

"That's right, thank goodness for this selfless fairy who saved him. It seems like she used some precious pill."

Wu Dian, as a cultivator at the Foundation Building Stage, had exceptional hearing even among Transcendent individuals. Even if the villagers were only whispering, he could hear them clearly.

Lu Chuan, including his two subordinates, naturally heard as well and all looked towards Wu Dian, whose face had turned red.

Wu Dian clenched his fists, his blood boiling. No matter how Immortal Gate spoke of him, he was the second-in-command of Sima Dong's small group. He could be considered superior to others.

But now, in the mortal world, he was being looked down upon by a group of ordinary people with no cultivation. Lu Chuan and his two subordinates seemed to be silently mocking him.

However, they hadn't actually said anything. Wu Dian could only seethe with anger and frustration. "What are you looking at? Get ready to depart. We need to reach the borders of Wu Country before nightfall."

After giving some instructions to the villagers, Lu Chuan and his group set off, walking briskly through the desert.

Leading the way were Wu Dian and his two subordinates, with Lu Chuan walking in the middle to maintain the pace. Su Lianlian and Lu Chuan were not in good physical condition, so they could only do their best to keep up at the back.

After leaving the village, Lu Chuan vaguely felt that something was amiss. The sand beneath his feet seemed to be trembling, as if something was moving beneath him.

The more Wu Dian thought about it, the angrier he became. The words of those villagers and the victorious faces of Lu Chuan and Su Lianlian lingered in his mind.

It was all because of Lu Chuan and Su Lianlian that the villagers would slander him. If they had just ignored that child, he wouldn't have been insulted.

Damn it, I must make these two pay the price.

When we reach the town, I'll have to disband our group. I can only create some accidents along the way, preferably ones that will kill both of them.

Not only will this give Sima Dong an explanation, but Su Lianlian definitely still has some Peerless Grade pills on her. At the very least, she has three-quarters of a Heavenly Origin Pill, worth seven to eight hundred Spirit Stones. The average disciple of Wang Immortal Gate would only have a few hundred Spirit Stones in a few years. If I succeed, I'll be set for life.

The only obstacle is Meng Qing, but I have a chance to get close to him, discuss our mutual interests, and I believe he will stand on my side. He might even give me some advice.

The group walked quickly. Cultivators could use spiritual energy to enhance their physical abilities, easily surpassing the limits of ordinary people.

The desert was desolate, and after leaving the small village, they hadn't seen another person.

Suddenly, without any warning, a dark shadow emerged from the ground and pounced towards Wu Dian.

As a cultivator at the Foundation Building Stage, Wu Dian reacted in an instant, using his hands to resist. However, he was still knocked down and felt something piercing into his body.

"Boss!" Wu Dian's two subordinates shouted.

Wu Dian saw clearly that the thing attacking him was a completely black scorpion. It had stabbed him with the stinger on its tail, injecting venom into his body.

"You damn creature dares to ambush me!"

Wu Dian gathered himself and shouted as he drew out his spiritual sword, cutting off the scorpion's tail in one strike.

The scorpion writhed in pain, its entire body moving. Wu Dian took the opportunity to kick it away and stand up.

The slightly chubby subordinate said, "Boss Wu Dian, that's a huge bug!"

The slightly thin subordinate noticed that the bug's aura was extraordinary and shouted, "It's a Desert Giant Scorpion at the Qi Refining Stage!"

Wu Dian took out a Heavenly Origin Pill and swallowed it. "Don't be afraid, it's just one. The six of us won't have any trouble dealing with it."

The giant scorpion climbed up from the ground, no longer attacking, but instead crouching down and tapping the ground with its four pairs of legs.

Wu Dian thought the scorpion was showing fear and laughed, saying, "What are you doing? Are you scared?"

Lu Chuan saw the scorpion's abnormal behavior and tried hard to recall his knowledge about desert giant scorpions.

Suddenly, his face changed drastically. "Quick, stop it! It's calling for its companions!"

Desert giant scorpions are social Spirit Beasts. How could they act alone at the Qi Refining Stage? Their adult forms could easily reach the Foundation Building Stage. This one was just a juvenile, and its family must be nearby.

Su Lianlian looked around. The ground was shaking like an earthquake, and sand was being thrown up high into the air. The wind blew the sand, dyeing the sky a sandy yellow, obstructing their vision. She drew out her spiritual sword and said, "It's too late."

Wu Dian realized that something was wrong. His smile disappeared, and he swung his spiritual sword at the scorpion.

"You beast, die!"

In that instant, the sand in front of the scorpion sank, and a four-meter-long giant scorpion emerged from underground, blocking Wu Dian's attack.

With a full-force strike at the Foundation Building Stage, the giant scorpion only suffered a wound, and its tough exterior momentarily numbed Wu Dian's arms.

More giant scorpions emerged from the ground, three in succession, attacking Lu Chuan and the others.

"Enemy attack!" Wu Dian's two subordinates barely held off the assault and shouted.

Lu Chuan was also affected by everyone's emotions and became nervous.

This part wasn't in the original work.
