Cultivating Immortality: I Can See the Script of Life

Wan Yi's eyelids twitched upon hearing this.

Is the protagonist really that ruthless?

They're already trying to refine someone just by encountering a supporting character?

This script doesn't seem right!

That makes sense. The script is called "The Old Demon of Biyang," so what kind of good thing could the protagonist be?

With a wave of his sleeve, Fang Xiu enveloped Ding Xiu in a white light and vanished into thin air.

Immediately afterward, he moved his feet and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

As he left, the force that had bound everyone vanished instantly.

Everyone felt a sense of relief, and many people's legs went weak, causing them to collapse to the ground, panting heavily, with cold sweat pouring from their crotches.

The middle-aged Taoist, who had just been indifferent, suddenly changed his attitude and bowed deeply in the direction Fang Xiu had left, his waist almost bent at a ninety-degree angle, saying respectfully, "Disciple Ji Guanyu respectfully sees off Uncle-Master Fang!"

His fawning demeanor was completely different from before.

Wan Yi secretly grimaced at this.

This change of expression is faster than turning the pages of a book; it's truly the style of the Demonic Sect—bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

After Ji Guanyu finished bowing, he straightened up, the respect on his face instantly vanishing, replaced by his previous indifference. He glanced at the still-shaken crowd and said expressionlessly, "Next."

Wan Yi then had some time to ponder.

The previous supporting character had barely appeared for three minutes before being captured by the protagonist to be refined into a human pill.

So, the fate of a supporting character isn't considered a life, but rather an ingredient for alchemy?

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.

what about me?

I'm a supporting character too, a supporting character in "Respect for the Dead," which sounds ominous.

Will I also end up being refined into pills or killed?

This future is truly bleak.

Just then, Wan Yi caught a glimpse of a new section of content at the bottom of the panel out of the corner of his eye.

[Script already included: "The Old Demon of Biyang"]

Huh? What's this?

Wan Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly focused his attention on the panel.

The next second, a detailed script introduction slowly appeared.

[Screenplay: The Old Demon of Biyang]

[Plot: On his way back to the sect, Fang Xiu discovers that a celestial material with a Bing Fire Dao Body has appeared at the Ascension Assembly. He then steps forward to steal the celestial material, intending to refine it into a human pill to increase his chances of advancing to the Purple Mansion realm in the future. However, he is ambushed by Song Jiayan, who is secretly watching the Ascension Assembly, and the celestial material is taken away.]

Fang Xiu was furious, but because Song Jiayan's immortal foundation allowed him to escape, he couldn't catch up. He could only change course and visit Ji Chang, using the promise of completing the pill formula as bait to lure them into a joint attack on Song Jiayan, determined to retrieve the immortal ingredients...

Wan Yi's eyes widened.

Script details?

Is this the perception of destiny's trajectory through the "Great Luo Insight"?

This is practically like having a god's-eye view!

Wan Yi was overjoyed and quickly sorted through the plot.

The plot has just reached the point where Fang Xiu kidnaps Ding Xiu, and later there will be a sneak attack by Song Jiayan, and Fang Xiu gathering reinforcements to surround and attack...

These are all things that haven't happened yet, how could I possibly see them in advance?

A bold idea popped into my head.

So, wouldn't I be able to use this foresight to seize opportunities and gain some benefits?

I can't participate in the script for "The Old Demon of Biyang," but I might be able to participate in other scripts.

But then Wan Yi had another worry.

I wonder if the plot is fixed, or if it will change because of my intervention?

Also, that's just a bit of the plot. What happens next?

How can I see more?

Wan Yi stared at the panel until his eyes were almost sore, wishing he could stare a hole through it.

However, the panel remained stuck on the existing storyline, completely unmoved, with no new content whatsoever.

Wan Yi recalled the process of triggering the script.

I only triggered the script details for "The Old Demon of Biyang" by seeing Fang Xiu's panel.

It seems that we need to observe the protagonist's panel to trigger the script details.

That makes sense, since the script revolves around the protagonist, and observing the protagonist's panel to trigger the script makes sense.

I have already met Fang Xiu, the protagonist of "The Old Demon of Biyang".

But the protagonist of his own script, "Respect for the Dead," is still nowhere to be found.

You must understand that I am now in the Biyang Sect, a demonic sect, and I am a prospective member of the demonic sect.

In "Respect for the Dead," the protagonist, whether a righteous cultivator or a demonic cultivator, will likely not have a good ending, even if he is just a supporting character.

The righteous sects will attack me, and the demonic sects will attack me too. I'm caught in a dilemma!

Fortunately, I was able to see the plot in advance.

If you can find the main character of "The Dead Are the Greatest", figure out the plot, and make plans in advance, you might be able to defy fate, escape this damned supporting role, and never have to worry about being killed off again!

"Wan Yi".

Ji Guanyu's icy voice suddenly rang out.

Wan Yi's heart skipped a beat.

Alright, it's my turn!

He dared not delay and quickly stepped forward, a respectful smile plastered on his face: "Greetings, Immortal."

Ji Guanyu didn't even lift his eyelids before reaching out and placing his hand on him to examine his aptitude.

After a moment, he withdrew his hand and said calmly, "Medium aptitude, Yin-Yang attribute is Yin, Five Elements attribute is Earth, a potential candidate for raising corpses and refining puppets."

"Let's go to the Corpse Puppet Palace."

Raising corpses and creating puppets?

That sounds really unlucky!

Wan Yi dared not ask any further questions and quickly bowed, replying, "Yes, sir."

……

After the division of the hall was completed, Wan Yi received a disciple jade token and then gathered with seven other immortal materials who also looked bewildered.

These people, like him, were all assigned to the Corpse Puppet Hall.

Aside from this broken jade token, they didn't even provide a basic disciple's robe, let alone any cultivation techniques.

It's estimated that they'll recruit people first, and then distribute the equipment once they arrive at their destination.

Surely they wouldn't be so stingy as to only issue a dog tag.

At that moment, a wisp of black smoke fell from the sky and crashed down in front of them.

As the black mist dissipated, a female cultivator with pale skin and bloodshot eyes stood before the crowd.

She was completely wrapped in a black robe, with only her chin showing, and she looked sinister.

"Those from the Corpse Puppet Hall, follow me."

The female cultivator's voice was icy cold, devoid of any warmth.

Wan Yi followed closely while glancing up at the scene.

Name: Feng Yousu

[Talent: Average Aptitude (Green), Natural Beauty (Green), Corpse Puppet Body (White)]

[Cultivation Level: Mid-stage Qi Refining]

[Fate: Supporting Role in "Respect for the Dead"]

Wan Yi was startled.

Goodness, we've already run into a supporting character from the same script?

Like himself, a supporting character in "Respect for the Dead"

Does that mean the protagonist of "Respect for the Dead" is in the Corpse Puppet Hall?

Wan Yi then noticed the [Corpse Puppet Body].

This talent looks strange. Could it be that Feng Yousu isn't a living person, but a corpse puppet?

Feng Yousu led them to the Corpse Puppet Hall simply to carry out her master's mission.

Before he could figure it out, Feng Yousu opened her mouth and exhaled a breath of black gas, which enveloped the eight people and flew up.

Wan Yi felt a bone-chilling cold seep into his very bones, making his teeth chatter and feel as if he were running naked in the dead of winter.

The surroundings were completely obscured by black mist, and nothing could be seen; one could only rely on the feeling of weightlessness to make sense of things.

I was indeed flying in the sky.

The immortals beside them weren't much better off; they were all shivering from the cold, and one of them couldn't help but sneeze, but he didn't dare to make a sound and was trying his best to suppress it.

But Feng Yousu didn't care at all and recited the disciple's instructions verbatim: "Our Holy Sect has six lineages, each specializing in alchemy, weapon crafting, talismans, formations, puppetry, and beasts."

"The six outer halls and the six inner peaks correspond one to one."

"Once you enter the Corpse Puppet Hall, you will be responsible for raising corpses and refining puppets for my Holy Sect. Only after you have absorbed a breath of spiritual energy and stepped into the Qi Refining Realm can you be promoted to the inner sect."

"We will distribute the cultivation techniques and cave dwellings to you later."

"If you have any questions, keep them to yourself and don't ask too many."

After saying that, she shut her mouth, her whole body was ice cold, and she couldn't even feel her breathing. She was like a corpse, which made Wan Yi's heart tremble.
