Villain Cultivator

Chapter 597 – Xie Qingtian's Warning, Rich Man Miaomiao

Miaomiao, Sun Bin, and Xie Qingtian reached the peak's grand hall. Everyone entered Sun Bin's office.

Finally, they were alone.

Sun Bin grumbled while he facepalmed, "You're a headache, Mao Miaomiao."

Miaomiao wryly smiled and bowed to apologize, "I'm sorry."

"That ability of yours will come back to haunt you one day. Do you know that many immortals and deities are cravings for the Time-Space Dao or related power? They will jump you as soon as they realize that you can use it."

"I'm more amazed that you knew it was me, though."

Sun Bin sat cross-legged on his cushion and rested his chin on his palm, "I would have been a fool had I never figured that out! I heard about your deeds from Sun Wu. Obviously, I know about your abilities."

"That's nice of you."

Sun Bin adjusted his posture. He straightened his back and sighed, "Anyway. That's not why I want you here. Well, Grand Elder Xie. He's yours."

Xie Qingtian nodded at the elder. He sized up Miaomiao.

"I heard that you killed my son."

Miaomiao feigned ignorance. He tilted his head to the side, "Didn't he just save you?"

Although this was his first time that Miaomiao had met Xie Qingtian face-to-face, he remembered the latter as he saw Xie Qingtian in the other timelines.

Xie Qingtian also didn't bother introducing himself. He chatted as if he knew Miaomiao for a long time, "That [Xie Tian] who saved me was a stranger from another timeline."

"Well, things are complicated."

"You bet it's complicated."

Xie Qingtian and Miaomiao stopped speaking. The latter awkwardly waited for the former to start, but Xie Qingtian continued to inspect Miaomiao's appearance, cultivation base, and treasures.

"Umm," Miaomiao had a bad feeling about this.

"I also heard that you wanted to make me your Dao Sentinel."

Miaomiao sweated profusely. He reluctantly nodded, "That's true."

"Let me ask you honestly. Are you an idiot, or are you insane?"

"Maybe both?"

"Ha! I believe you. No sane person would have asked me to be their Dao Sentinel! But do you really think that I will accept your invitation?"

"You won't?"

"Obviously, why should I submit to a fucking mortal, let alone the murderer of my child?! Fuck, looking at you ruins my mood."

"And why are you looking at me? Why are you looking for me by the way?"

"You…"

Miaomiao's carefree attitude annoyed Xie Qingtian, but he wasn't mad. After all, he was testing this perverted guy.

As Xie Qingtian was tired of testing Miaomiao's character, he got to the point.

"Currently, I'm serving Lady Nüwa as her Knight Piece. I can't possibly serve two masters. I also have quite a high standard. I won't work under a mortal."

"Even though I pretty much saved your life?"

"It was my son's counterpart that saved me, not you."

"But Xie Tian is my Dao Sentinel. His achievement is my achievement."

"He is he, you are you."

"Fine," Miaomiao sighed. It seemed that convincing Xie Qingtian to work for him would be troublesome. "Is that all you want to say to me?"

Xie Qingtian grinned, "No."

"What do you want, then?"

"Be my disciple and work for Lady Nüwa and Heavenly Dao!"

"I refuse."

The corner of Xie Qingtian's mouth twitched. Miaomiao replied too fast.

Miaomiao raised his brows, "Is that all you want to say to me?"

"No," Xie Qingtian coughed. "First off, do you know anything about the Grand Chess?"

"Well, no."

"Okay," Xie Qingtian was relieved. At least he had something to brag about.

He turned to Sun Bin, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation. Xie Xingtian gestured with his eyes, telling him to leave.

Meanwhile, the entire conversation shocked Sun Bin. He stared at Miaomiao and Xie Qingtian in disbelief, but he kept his mouth shut.

"P-Please excuse me."

Sun Bin left the room in a hurry as he was afraid of Xie Qingtian.

As soon as Xie Qingtian and Miaomiao were alone, the former revealed the secrets of the sages, which related to the Grand Chess.

Grand Chess was a competition for territory and supremacy between sages. As all sages, including monster sages, served the Heavenly Dao, they could not harm or kill each other. Because they were unable to harm each other, many conflicts between sages escalated and they were fed up with the Heavenly Dao's restrictions.

Heavenly Dao listened to their troubles, so it created a lower dimension under the Zenith Heaven Realm for them to play. All living creatures of various races, immortals, and deities were their game tools to be used. All sages got to pick one person from this dimension as their game piece.

However, the sages were greedy. They made a new game of their own to solve personal conflicts and grudges.

They called it the Grand Chess. A sage could pick eight representatives from the lower dimension as their main chess pieces while the chess pieces could designate as many pawns as they wanted to. Then, the sages could relay their orders to their king pieces.

Miaomiao had heard something similar before, and he had some doubts.

"How did you know this? Did Adam tell you?"

Xie Qingtian grinned, "I've recovered the memory of my counterparts from the destroyed dimensions. Well, yeah. Lord Adam told me about the sages. After all, it relates to this game and the next game."

"What else did he tell you?" Now, Miaomiao was curious.

"Heavenly Dao has already voided this game. There won't be a conclusion to the Grand Chess, but it will serve as a preparation for the next game."

Xie Qingtian finally revealed the content of the next game. He spoke for three hours, revealing everything to Miaomiao.

Miaomiao stared at Xie Qingtian in a daze. He heard something incredible and horrifying.

…

Hours later.

In the end, Xie Qingtian refused to be Miaomiao's Dao Sentinel. He said that he needed to go somewhere else, and he wouldn't be here for a few years.

Both men parted ways. Miaomiao left the grand hall and found Sun Bin, who had been waiting for him for hours.

"Are you done?"

Miaomiao nodded, "Yes, elder."

"Good," Sun Bin passed Miaomiao a paper scroll. "This is the detail of the upcoming sect's annual promotion exam. You will need to enter it to defend your status. After you successfully prove that no candidate can defeat you, you can apply for the outer disciple exam. But bear in mind, you will have to fight several outer disciples to pass this test."

Miaomiao's expression turned dark, "Do I have to take the exam?"

"Yes. If you don't, Grand Elder Mu will probably kick you out of the sect or impose an impossible mission on you. You don't want to be sent out to the Dark Forbidden Zone alone, do you?"

"… I understand."

Miaomiao was still unable to digest the heavy information regarding the next game, aka Pangu Online 2. And now, he got another headache.

Why didn't everybody leave him alone?

What could he do to gain the freedom he needed?

There was only one solution. Miaomiao simply needed to be invincible to the point that no sage could order him around!

Slaughter all enemies-Ho!

Ravish all peerless beauties-Ho!

Conquer all dimensions-Ho!

Enslave all allies-Ho!

Protagonist-Ho!

He psyched himself and flew from the peak, heading toward the Cherry Boy City.

But then, he remembered that he had just moved house. He couldn't travel to the demon king's castle in the desert.

'Crap.'

As Miaomiao needed to go back there to peacefully cultivate, he visited Sun Bin and requested him to bring him to the location.

Fortunately, Sun Bin was kind. He ordered a deacon to escort Miaomiao to the demon king's castle.

…

Miaomiao safely returned to the demon king's castle, and the deacon left.

As time was money, Miaomiao rushed to his room, planning to consolidate his cultivation base and tackle the next hurdle – Improving all moons in his dantian into proper planets!

He ignored Xie Fan, Tugu, and Ta Dun, who had come to welcome him back. He slammed the door shut and locked it.

But as Miaomiao was about to sit on the bed and concentrate on cultivating, Dion gave him a system prompt.

Ding

Miaomiao clicked his tongue, "No."

"On a second thought, let me see the task!"

Heavenly Merit was necessary for Miaomiao now. Every merit was equal to a free planet, so he could not overlook this opportunity.

Ding

…

Heavenly Dao Quest: Preparation for Pangu Online 2 (1)

Task: Publish the recipe of low-grade sex-change pill to the public or sell at least one million sex-change pills of any quality.

Reward: One Heavenly Dao Merit Marble.

Time Limit: Before the Annual Promotion Exam.

…

"…"

Miaomiao rubbed his eyes and slightly shook his head repeatedly. Then, he reopened his eyes to see whether he was hallucinating or not.

Unfortunately for him, the system message was real.

"Dafuq? Dion?!"

"…"

Miaomiao scratched his head with both hands. The task was easy since Miaomiao could easily print pills by using his clones as laborers. However, the ulterior motive of Heavenly Dao disturbed him.

Why would Heavenly Dao want to transform macho men into women?

Did Heavenly Dao interest in the genre?

No way, right?

Ding

"Oh, that explains a lot."

Miaomiao nodded in understanding. Indeed, those virgin cultivators might never find a girlfriend in this Dark Forbidden Zone, where no refined maiden would bother visiting here.

"Do you want me to balance it out?"

"Good! Give me a few days. Let me establish a sweatshop in my dantian first."

<…>

…

Isolated Training Space

Miaomiao gathered Dian Wei, Chang'e, Diaochan, and Xu Chu. Then, he suddenly used the shadow clone technique to create a thousand clones of himself.

The girls giggled and fidgeted, thinking that Miaomiao wanted to do the gangbang play.

But they were disappointed a second later.

"I'm going to build a sweatshop to make a million sex-change pills! I need you girls to help them."

The expressions of the girls turned ugly. They gave him a thumbs down and booed.

But Miaomiao revealed the benefits of doing so.

"After we have a million pills, I can get another Heavenly Merit Marble, and I'm planning to exchange it with another stellar planet. You know what I can do with it."

Xu Chu, Chang'e, and Diaochan froze on the spot. They glanced at Dian Wei, whose moon had already evolved into a planet.

Currently, Dian Wei's cultivation base soared, and her beauty got more refined as the semen element and sperm planet nourished her body. Moreover, she had the aura of a pseudo-deity.

Feeling a threat of Dian Wei's rapid progress, they turned to Miaomiao. Their eyes were burning with passion and enthusiasm.

"I'll do it!"

"I'll definitely link my moon to the new planet!"

"I won't lose!"

The commotion also attracted the attention of the other residents. Queen Gu, Eurobeat, Meowmeow, and others overheard the conversation.

"I want fish planet, munya!"

"Munya… C-Can munya help? My saintess dao can buff your workers, munya."

"I want sperm planet, too. Master, let me help!"

Miaomiao was speechless. The bribe was super effective.

Since everyone was so cooperative, Miaomiao put his cultivation plan aside. He began building a factory, which would be the permanent pill sweatshop.

…

Day 270

Miaomiao in the real world slowly exhaled, but his breath now smelled like semen. His bloodshot eyes imprinted the images of the sunlight and the brick room as he was tired of looking at pill cauldrons, which were filled with white fluid and semen pills.

Miaomiao was mentally exhausted. He didn't want to smell the scent of his semen element Qi ever again. Also, he hated sex now.

"I want to be a monk. I don't want to have sex anymore. I'm tired of the smell of semen."

He inwardly cried, but his smiling face spoke otherwise.

Miaomiao gazed at his system inventory.

1.5 million medium-grade sex-change pills were in the first slot. The second slot contained 300,000 high-grade sex-change pills while the third one had 5,000 earth-grade pills. The fourth had even 100 sky-grade pills!

Miaomiao's alchemy skill improved as he made so many pills!

He added them into his system shop to check the default price. He calculated how many years of lifespan he would get from this sick trade.

…

[Mao Miaomiao's Shop]

Medium-Grade Gender-Swap Pill (One Year) (1)

Price – 1,000 Years of Lifespan

High-Grade Gender-Swap Pill (Five Years) (1)

Price – 5,000 Years of Lifespan

Earth-Grade Gender-Swap Pill (Ten Years) (1)

Price – 10,000 Years of Lifespan

Sky-Grade Gender-Swap Pill (100 Years) (1)

Price – 100,000 Years of Lifespan

...

Miaomiao was in a good mood that he had temporarily forgotten about the previous headache that Xie Qingtian had given him.

"I'm rich!"
