My Text-Based Cultivation Game

Logically speaking, Yunyang, a new disciple who has just entered the peak, should have many things to do, such as getting familiar with the peak, meeting his senior brothers, and receiving instruction from his master.

In fact, the Fourth Elder's intention in handing Yunyang over to Nangong Zi was to have Nangong Zi take on most of the miscellaneous tasks with Yunyang.

But Nangong Zi couldn't worry about anything else now; she had to immediately question the old man about whether it was true that Yunyang had broken through from a mortal to the Foundation Establishment stage in less than half a year.

While we're at it, let's also extort a few jugs of the old man's brewed wine.

Since Yunyang wanted to build his own cave dwelling first, Nangong Zi left it at the foot of Chunyang Peak in a rare, picturesque spot, telling Yunyang to build it first and deal with other trivial matters later.

Oh wow! The Spirit Brew Master is here!

Finally, only my closest family members are left.

After Nangong Zi left, a small red dot immediately appeared above Su Muxue's head.

At the same time, a message appeared in front of Yunyang:

Do you wish to inquire about what just happened at the Third Elder's monastery?

I've wanted to ask this for a long time.

In fact, Yunyang had wanted to ask about this matter back in the dojo pavilion, but Su Muxue hurriedly pulled him away, clearly not wanting to reveal it in front of Senior Sister Nangong.

Moreover, it was obvious that Nangong Zi was also curious about this, which is why she jokingly asked Yunyang about Su Muxue's background on the way back.

"So what's the situation with Lan Youran? Why did his attitude change so drastically after you gave him that jade pendant?"

Yunyang asked Su Muxue.

"He's gone mad."

"Possessed by demons?"

"!!!"

Yunyang's confusion startled Yun Mengyao, who was observing her surroundings.

Yunyang, being an outsider and having cultivated for less than a few days, naturally had no concrete concept of demonic possession. His understanding of demonic possession only existed in modern literature.

"Becoming a demon" means turning into a demonic cultivator.

Simply put, it means becoming a villain.

But it's different for Yun Mengyao, a native of the area.

As a renowned and righteous sect in the cultivation world, Xuantian Sect is naturally irreconcilably opposed to the evil and demonic paths. Having occupied the Nine Provinces for countless years, Xuantian Sect has naturally spread the various evil deeds committed by evil and demonic cultivators.

You may not know who your second uncle's third maternal uncle's cousin is, or why the widow Wang's house at the village entrance screams every night, but you cannot be unaware of the cruelty and evil of evil cultivators and demonic cultivators.

Upon hearing the mention of demonic cultivators, Yun Mengyao, who had been exposed to such things since childhood and heard storytellers on the street every day about the ferocity and cruelty of demonic cultivators, instinctively shuddered in fright.

Su Muxue patted Yun Mengyao's head to comfort her.

"He's become a demon? He's become a demonic cultivator?"

"good."

Although Yun Yang didn't have as clear an understanding of the matter as Yun Mengyao, he was well-versed in cultivation novels and knew that there couldn't possibly be demonic cultivators in a proper cultivation sect.

"so……"

"He is a spy for the demonic path within the Xuantian Sect."

"??!"

Su Muxue said the most frightening thing in the calmest words.

Now I know why I didn't want to say it in front of Nangong Zi.

"Then what about the jade pendant you gave him?"

"A secret order from the Thousand Paths Sect of the Demonic Cult."

"Hiss~"

Yunyang gasped.

Su Muxue actually possesses a secret order from a demonic sect.

Does this mean Su Muxue is also a member of the Demonic Sect?

Su Muxue glanced at Yun Yang's suddenly changed gaze and sneered inwardly.

What? You think you're part of the demonic sect and should distance yourself from it?

Does he no longer care about his status as a righteous cultivator?

But then she saw Yunyang lean close to her ear and ask like a thief, "So... are we spies too? Wow! Are we going to become demonic cultivators?"

Yun Mengyao: "??!"

Good heavens! The young master is going to become a demonic cultivator!!!

"Demonic cultivation my foot!"

Su Muxue poked Yunyang's head in an annoyed tone.

Why do you actually want to become a demonic cultivator?

"I was just kidding him. The jade pendant I gave him was a fake."

"A fake? You fooled him like that?"

"The spiritual imprint in the secret order of the Thousand Paths Sect was made by an old ancestor in their sect who was close to the Nascent Soul stage. Theoretically, only a cultivator at the mid-Nascent Soul stage has the basic ability to imitate it."

"and you……"

"uh-huh."

Su Muxue laughed triumphantly.

Wow, you really are an all-powerful little elf!

A Qi Refining cultivator being able to imitate something that only a Nascent Soul cultivator could make—think about it realistically, that's simply impossible!

This game system definitely had its code secretly modified behind the scenes!

"but……"

Just as Yunyang was complaining, Su Muxue, who was standing next to him, twirled a stray hair behind her ear with her index finger and asked casually, "You just now... even if I became a demonic cultivator, would you still be willing to follow me into the demonic path?"

"Huh?" Yunyang was taken aback by the question, and naturally asked in return, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Is there nothing wrong...?"

Su Muxue murmured.

I don't know when it happened, but I've started to get used to having someone around who seems to support me unconditionally no matter what happens.

Yunyang Ke in his previous life...

Past lives and present lives?

No, Su Muxue shook her head. He is who he is in this life, and he shouldn't be confused with him in his past life.

He is who he is.

At that moment, Su Muxue suddenly felt much more at ease.

This is……

Are there any signs that the inner demons in your heart have been resolved?

Well, it's already like this, let this inner demon go.

Su Muxue's favorability +500

Although in fact...

Yunyang scratched his head. In his opinion, what's the difference between righteous sects and demonic cultivators? In the end, isn't it strength that matters most?

If one were to follow the path of demonic cultivation, perhaps...

This game is rated 18+.

Hey, do you think there's a Hehuan Sect in this game?

I had absolutely no intention of delving into the Hehuan Sect; I simply wanted to see if such a sect truly existed.

Just as Su Muxue's favorability rating increased, for some reason, an inexplicable anger suddenly welled up in her heart.

Hmm? Why do I suddenly feel like punching Yunyang?

Will the lingering thoughts of inner demons resist?

Yun Mengyao, who was standing to the side, suddenly felt a little full for some reason, but it didn't matter. It was good that her young master hadn't become a demonic cultivator.

"Wait a minute," Yunyang said, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "We're not demonic cultivators, but the demonic cultivator spies in the Xuantian Sect think we're demonic spies too. So, is this a spy within a spy within a spy?"

And then some strange words started popping up again.

Although the word was a bit strange, Su Muxue understood what Yunyang meant.

"Pretty much. He said a lot of things, like how he had been cultivating for many years without making any progress, but all he wanted to do was make peace, and then use me to splash the dirty water of demonic cultivation on you or your Pure Yang Peak later."

As she spoke, Su Muxue smiled disdainfully. He, a mere Golden Core cultivator who had lived for hundreds of years, thought he could outwit her, an empress who had lived for countless years and was a reborn empress?

To put it bluntly, I can pretty much guess what Lan Youran is planning to do next.

"In that case, what could make an undercover agent feel more at ease than becoming an undercover agent himself?"
