Villain Cultivator

Chapter 189 '“ InspirationÂ

Ju Shoufen and Ma Ping jumped up from their seats. They read the recipe with enthusiasm.Â

But after finding out about the required ingredients, their face darkened. Each ingredient was extremely rare to the point that none of them could ever dream of having one of them.Â

Ju Shoufen passed the recipe back to Cao Mao, "Even if we have the recipe, we can't concoct the pill without the right ingredients. Where are we going to find the hearts of 4 heavenly beasts? They're divine creatures, you know. And look at the two catalyst ingredients. A 1,000-year-old dantian core of a virgin man and woman? All undying 1,000-year-old cultivators are mostly immortals or dao gods. We can't get those ingredients no matter how hard we try."

The recipe required 6 core ingredients and 108 rare herbs. The core ingredients were the hearts of 4 heavenly beasts '“ the vermillion bird, the white tiger, the black tortoise, and the azure dragon. These divine creatures were born as gods, so cultivators in the mortal realms were no match for them.Â

As for the dantian cores, it sounded easy, but the virgin yin and virgin yang energy in those dantian cores were irreplaceable. Without these cores as the catalyst for the pill, the four hearts of the divine beasts could not be tamed.Â

Ma Ping also gave up his hope. He bitterly laughed, "Thanks for the goodwill, kid. It's fine. Even without a dantian, I can still live for a few decades or so."

Looking at their reaction, Cao Mao snickered. He slowly summoned several boxes of herbs on the ground. Then, six items, which should have never existed in this mortal world, were placed on the table in front of Ma Ping.Â

A silver marble with the size of a human's head was covered in white flame. The vermillion bird's heart was still beating even without a body. Fortunately, it was sealed inside a special glass container, so the heat and the divine essence stayed inside the glass box.Â

A bloody heart at the same size as the silver heart was also inside another glass container. It pulsed and emitted black and white gas, forming a yin yang pentagram around the thumping heart. This thing belonged to the divine white tiger.Â

A blue crystal, the heart of the black tortoise, was in a crystal box. It did not move or beat like the others, but it circulated blue water to keep itself afloat. The water was also considered a deadly poison since it could potentially mutate anything it touched into a crystalized life form.Â

A hexagon rainbow jewel was as big as the silver heart. Even if it was contained in a sealed box, the domineering aura of the azure dragon intimidated all elders. They felt as if the dragon was glaring at them by just looking at the heart.Â

As for the two balls, it was also sealed in a red box and a blue box. The red box leaked virgin yang aura while the blue one leaked out virgin yin.Â

All ingredients were presented before everyone!

"H-H-How!?"

"T-This'¦ Really!? I'm not dreaming, right!?"

Ju Shoufen and Ma Ping staggered as if they were about to faint. Their vision blackened for a moment before they regained their sight. Their hands and legs were shaking in excitement, nervousness, and disbelief.Â

Ma Ping slapped his face over and over again to the point that his cheeks reddened.Â

Ju Shoufen picked a handful of stones and threw them at Cao Mao with her Qi.Â

"OW, OW, OW!! GRANDMA JU, WHY!!!?"

"'¦ Just testing if I'm dreaming."

"DO IT WITH YOUR OWN BODY, PLEASE!!"

"'¦ Well, if you can retort, I'm not dreaming then."

"DID I JUST ACCEPT ALL PUNISHMENT IN YOUR DREAM OR WHAT!!??"

"Actually, no. I haven't slept for 30 years."

"'¦"

Despite being shocked, Ju Shoufen still had the mood to troll Cao Mao.Â

A minute later, everyone regained their senses. All elders admired the hearts and the cores from a distance, but none of them dared to touch the sealed boxes.Â

These sealed containers were like the Pandora box. Once opened, all hell would break loose.Â

Ju Shoufen mustered her courage to reach out for the azure dragon's heart, but she retracted her hands. Then, she shook her head.

"These ingredients are beyond my abilities. I can't do it."

Cao Mao frowned, "But you were once a garden master."

"At best, I can spend months to concoct a perfect heaven-grade pill. You know, I never successfully created any immortal-grade pill in my life. How am I going to create a divine pill?"

Grades of items are generally categorized into 9 tiers.

Low-grade

Medium-grade

High-grade

Earth-grade

Sky-grade

Heaven-grade

Immortal-grade

Divine-grade

And Primal-grade

The first three grades were common items in the mortal world. The Earth-grade to Heaven-grade items were rare, and the last three were non-existence. Only dao gods or mythical creatures possessed the highest quality items.Â

However, all six items on the table were all divine-grade ingredients. They were out of Ju Shoufen's league.Â

"I can't. I don't think I can do it in one try. I'll definitely waste all these precious materials."

Ma Ping's eyes were wet. They had the recipe, and they had the ingredients. However, they didn't have a capable alchemist to finish the job.Â

The recovery dream was so close. Yet, it was so far.Â

Ma Shoucheng, Ma Ping, and Pang Lingming sighed in regret. They also wished they practiced alchemy.Â

No one noticed the fiery fire in Ju Shoufen's eyes. She had an inspiration about how she could increase her alchemy skills within a short period, but she required Cao Mao's help.Â

She glanced at Cao Mao and sent a voice transmission to his mind in secret.Â

'Brat, I heard that you can distort time in your dream space. Is that true?'

Cao Mao frowned and glanced at Ju Shoufen in disapproval. It was not the time to talk about his secrets.Â

Still, Ju Shoufen had an inspiration that she wanted to try. She insisted on questioning Cao Mao.

'Just nod or shake your head. I won't tell the Ma Clan about your secrets. I just want to confirm something. Well, can you distort time in your dream?'

Cao Mao nodded.

'Good. Then, only you and your yin slaves can share your dream. Correct?'

Cao Mao nodded again.

'The only way to become your yin slave is to copulate with you. Correct?'

Cao Mao furrowed his brows and paused for a moment. He nodded again nonetheless.Â

'I see. Do you yin slaves lose their memory and their freewill?'

Cao Mao shook his head. He texted back to Ju Shoufen.Â

[It depends on me. But most of the time, I gave them freedom.]Â

'Very well. So, are you into small girls?'

Cao Mao's expression distorted. He turned to Ju Shoufen and gave her a WTFBRUH look.Â

'You know what, I want you to collect all these ingredients with you for now. Tonight, follow me out of the city. I need to talk to you in private.'

"'¦"

.

.

After the meeting, Ma Shoucheng, Ma Ping, and Pang Lingming had another private talk among the Ma Clan's men. They agreed to send Pang Lingming back to the holy land, so the latter could get in touch with an expert alchemist there.Â

Ma Ping and Ma Shoucheng hadn't given up yet. They wanted to invite a top alchemist there to help them.Â

Meanwhile, Ju Shoufen dragged Cao Mao with her. She flew outside of the city with him in tow.Â

When Ju Shoufen reached her destination, she dropped Cao Mao on the ground. Then, she sat cross-legged, circulating her yin essence to perform a certain ability.Â

Cao Mao was confused why Ju Shoufen brought him out of the city. He got paranoid, thinking that the elder wanted to steal the ingredients and the recipe.Â

But his worry was for nothing.Â

Ju Shoufen took a deep breath, resolving her heart. Then, she revealed her intention, "Brat, make me your yin slave."

"'¦ Excuse me?" Cao Mao doubted his ears if he heard the right words.Â

"Make me your yin slave and get me to that dream world of yours. Is that clear?"

"But why?"

"I need to use that time distortion dream that you have. Make me your yin slave and get me in there, so I can practice alchemy to the fullest!"

Learning Ju Shoufen's goal, Cao Mao had a complicated expression. He admired how smart and diligent Ju Shoufen was, but her demand troubled him. Although he was a sex maniac, he refused to convert old women with sagged boobs.Â

No matter how sick Cao Mao was, he couldn't get his boner up in front of an elderly woman.Â

"I'm sorry, senior. I'm not into old women."

Ju Shoufen sneered, "Oh, really? Then, how about this?"

Suddenly, Ju Shoufen's presence and aura expanded. But within a few seconds, the aura condensed within her dantian, and her appearance changed.Â

Her withered skin rejuvenated. The skinny arms and legs gain flesh, fat, and muscle. The white hair gained color, and her wrinkle sullen face became smooth.Â

From a haggard-looking old woman, Ju Shoufen transformed into a young girl, who seemed to be in early teen. She had the same face as Ju Chen, but she looked a lot younger. If Cao Mao didn't know Ju Shoufen beforehand, he might have believed that this girl before him was only 14 or 15.Â

"Well, can you do it with this body?"

Cao Mao's jaw dropped, "Senior. Was your name Genkai in your previous life?"

"Gen-who?"

"Never mind."

The transformation reminded Cao Mao of an old Japanese anime. The mentor of the protagonist of the series was an old woman, who could transform into a young girl when she used a certain combat ability.Â

And now, Ju Shoufen revealed a similar ability. Her yin essence and her aura were terrifying when she was in her younger form. A trace of green fire circulated around her, which killed Cao Mao lust.Â

"Err, I don't think I can have sex with you when those scary-looking fireballs are orbiting around you."

Ju Shoufen laughed, "You don't have to worry about it. These fireballs are the byproduct of my transformation skill. Eh, I should say it's the other way around'¦ Never mind that. Just treat me like one of your yin slaves and do what you must."

"I also don't think that I can corrupt your mind with our strength difference. Also, I'm not in the mood'¦"

"Eh, you're annoying!"

Ju Shoufen stripped her clothes, revealing her underdeveloped body of a pre-teenager, "You only have one chance. I won't ask you again. Will you fuck me!?"

"'¦"

For the first time, someone asked Cao Mao that she wanted his D, but he didn't want to do it.Â

Badump!

While Cao Mao was hesitating, his left eyebrow twitched, and his heart thumped.Â

At the same time, Ju Shoufen gave him inspiration.Â

"Don't you want me to be your dao guardian? I'm a lot stronger than Ju Chen. You can use me to help you in combat if necessary!"Â

"Huh?"

So far, he had been treating his yin slaves as cock sleeves. He never used them as combatants, including when he summoned all of them into his Isolation Training Space.Â

Cao Mao had been trying to solve everything by himself. Only after Ju Shoufen reminded him that she could be useful as a fighter, he realized that he never used his yin slaves properly.Â

'Right. I was only trying to boost their strength, but I never used them in real combat.'

Several questions came to his mind.Â

What would happen if Cao Mao activates combat clones and let the yin slaves fought with them?

What would happen if the yin slaves die in the space?

What would happen if he let the yin slaves team up and fight against the clones'¦ or Xie Tian?

When Cao Mao wondered if he could use Ju Shoufen to help him fight against Xie Tian to gain his skills, he couldn't stop his excitement.Â

Cao Mao chuckled. He believed he had a way to defeat Xie Tian in the Isolation Training Space now.Â

'Is it possible to cheat? Or rather, is my skills and yin slaves designed to be used like that?'

Ding

<You have overused your heavenly fate blessing.>

<Your heavenly fate power will be dormant for a year.>Â

He didn't notice the system messages, which informed him that his plot armor was at work.Â

Cao Mao took off his clothes and summoned a pill. He gave it to Ju Shoufen.

"Senior. Eat this pill and try not to resist the effect. When I have sex with you, do your best to relax and let the strange essence get into your dantian. Oh, if possible, please maintain that form. My boner will be killed if you revert back to the old form during sex."
