Cultivating Immortality: I Can See the Script of Life

Go back inside the house.

Wan Yi rubbed his hands together, eagerly bringing up the panel and opening the script for "The Dead Are the Greatest".

This had become a habit of his; every time he saw Qian Zhuo, the protagonist, he would routinely check if the script had been updated.

Based on his experience, as long as the plot progresses even a little and the protagonist is seen again, the script will likely unlock more content.

And this might lead to new opportunities or help avoid some dangers in advance.

Upon closer inspection, the plot had indeed been updated.

Wan Yi immediately focused his attention and began reading every single word.

[Screenplay: Respect for the Dead]

[Plot: Qian Zhuo encountered Wu Wei, who came to cause trouble again, and felt unlucky. He had only sold Wu Wei a defective product, yet Wu Wei remembered it for so long.]

However, three years later, Wu Wei will definitely participate in the next outer sect competition, and then he can kill him in the competition to avenge this grudge.

That evening, Qian Zhuo received a message from Zuo Shiyi asking him to help dispose of the body of a senior sister from the sect. However, when he went to dispose of it, he discovered that the senior sister, Chen Zizhi, was actually still alive.

Chen Zizhi claimed that she was a direct descendant of the Chen family and that she possessed methods set up by her elders. Once she was killed, her elders would know the identity of the murderer.

Under threat, Qian Zhuo had no choice but to lock the seriously injured Chen Zizhi in the cellar of the mortuary, intending to use the Spirit-Binding and Mind-Controlling Jade to enslave her.

The Spirit-Binding and Mind-Controlling Jade is a damaged Purple Mansion Spiritual Treasure. Even though it has become his natal Spiritual Treasure, it still requires a massive amount of spirit stones to activate.

The next morning, Qian Zhuo planned to go to Yinshan Society to collect spirit stones, but heard that the Chen family was conducting a large-scale search for Chen Zizhi's whereabouts...

After reading the updated plot, Wan Yi was stunned on the spot.

Qian Zhuo actually has a damaged Purple Mansion Spiritual Treasure hidden away?!

Damn it, how could that bastard's luck be so incredible?

This bastard has only mediocre talent, just a green talent, yet he managed to find a Purple Mansion Spiritual Treasure as his natal spiritual treasure.

The protagonist's halo is way too overpowered.

However, Wan Yi quickly began to analyze.

Qian Zhuo is, after all, the protagonist. Even if his talent is ordinary, he must have other outstanding qualities, otherwise how could he be worthy of being the protagonist?

This Spirit-Binding and Mind-Controlling Jade is probably Qian Zhuo's secret weapon.

Perhaps he stumbled upon the legacy of the Purple Mansion True Man somewhere, which is how he obtained this spiritual treasure.

Even the "Azure Terracotta Warrior Suppressing Evil Mystic Art" that he gave himself before probably came from the same lineage.

No wonder he, a mere outer disciple, possessed a mid-grade true technique that the sect had not yet recorded.

Wan Yi glanced at the plot again and couldn't help but purse his lips.

The plot development is so clichéd it couldn't be more clichéd.

He could guess what would happen next even with his ass.

Chen Zizhi must have held a high position in the Chen family. Qian Zhuo used the Spirit-Binding and Mind-Controlling Jade to enslave her, thus not only winning the heart of a beauty but also using Chen Zizhi's connections to board the Chen family's big ship and rise to prominence.

As for Zuo Shiyi, once he discovers that Chen Zizhi is not dead, he will definitely not let it go and will target Qian Zhuo in every way.

At that time, Qian Zhuo will rely on the Chen family's connections and the Purple Mansion Spiritual Treasure to resolve Zuo Shiyi's attacks one by one, and then his cultivation will advance rapidly. Sooner or later, he will deal with Zuo Shiyi and reach the pinnacle of life.

Can't you come up with something new?

It's all the same old, tired plot.

I'm so envious.

The thought of Qian Zhuo possessing a Purple Mansion Spiritual Treasure made Wan Yi envious.

He also wanted a Purple Mansion Spiritual Treasure to recognize him as its master.

Even if it's just broken, it'll do!

While he admired her, Wan Yi also knew that this made Qian Zhuo an even greater threat.

That bastard has his eye on me.

But since we know that Qian Zhuo possesses a Purple Mansion Spiritual Treasure, we absolutely cannot act rashly.

Even if Qian Zhuo is driven to the brink of despair, who knows if that bastard will suddenly unleash his full power under such circumstances, causing his Purple Mansion Spiritual Treasure to display its divine might.

The thought sent a chill down Wan Yi's spine.

He was just a lowly early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Even if the Purple Mansion Spiritual Treasure was broken, as long as it leaked a trace of its power, it could crush him into mincemeat without him even having a chance to resist.

We must survive!

But then Wan Yi frowned again.

Leaving it unattended and letting Qian Zhuo successfully win the heart of the beauty and get on the Chen family's good side is also unacceptable.

The reason is simple: Wan Yi has been targeted by Qian Zhuo.

Even though Qian Zhuo still thinks he is foolishly practicing the flawed "Azure Terracotta Warrior Suppressing Evil Mystic Art" and waiting to be turned into a corpse puppet.

But if this goes on for too long, it will definitely be exposed.

Qian Zhuo will eventually discover that Wan Yi is deceiving him, and then he will be doomed.

This bastard already had a Purple Mansion Spiritual Treasure, making him difficult to deal with. If he were to get involved with the Chen family and have them as a backer, he would have even less room to resist and would eventually be toyed with and turned into material for the Chen family's corpse puppet.

We must kill him.

Wan Yi's mind raced as he considered countermeasures.

Soon, his eyes lit up and he came up with a brilliant idea.

Got it!

We can make a fuss about Chen Zizhi!

The script states that Qian Zhuo needs to consume a massive amount of spirit stones to activate the Spirit Binding and Mind-Controlling Jade.

He couldn't come up with that many spirit stones right now, so he could only temporarily imprison Chen Zizhi in the cellar of the mortuary.

This is your chance!

I can take advantage of the time difference and report him while Qian Zhuo is collecting spirit stones.

If the Chen family knew that Chen Zizhi was imprisoned by Qian Zhuo in the cellar of the mortuary, they would be in serious trouble.

The Chen family will definitely send someone to rescue Chen Zizhi immediately.

Even if Qian Zhuo possesses a Purple Mansion Spiritual Treasure, he is only at the Fetal Breathing cultivation level, and he is certainly no match for the Chen family.

Even as the protagonist, he was able to unleash his full power and defeat the Chen family.

However, once the damaged spiritual treasure is exposed, the Purple Mansion True Man will be the one to come.

He refused to believe that Qian Zhuo could continue to unleash his full power and defeat the Purple Mansion True Man with this broken spiritual treasure.

Even in the best-case scenario, Qian Zhuo would simply escape.

Therefore, without Qian Zhuo's threat, I am safe.

Wan Yi felt that the plan was perfect.

In this way, he could remain behind the scenes and let Qian Zhuo and the Chen family fight each other without having to take action himself.

All you have to do is sit back and watch them fight each other.

In addition to this, Wan Yi had another purpose.

He wanted to take this opportunity to see just how strong the protagonist's destiny was, and whether he could be killed by it.

If Qian Zhuo, the protagonist, can be eliminated by the Chen family, then when I face such protagonists in the future, I won't just dare to steal their opportunities, but I can also be more daring in scheming against them.

But if Qian Zhuo really had that kind of luck to survive in dire straits, he could turn danger into safety even if he was targeted by the Chen family.

Then I'll have to change my strategy.

Before you have absolute strength, you must keep your mind at ease, try your best to befriend the protagonist, and absolutely avoid making enemies with them.

With this in mind, Wan Yi already had a complete plan.

He decided to remain still for now and wait until Qian Zhuo went to Yinshan to collect spirit stones. Then he would secretly leak the news of Chen Zizhi's imprisonment to the Chen family, hide in the shadows, and quietly watch as a bystander to see how this dog-eat-dog drama would turn out.
