Immortality Starts With Investment [XIANXIA LITRPG]

Chapter 203: Manjusaka


Ye Chen turned to look at Su Yuxuan. Seated in meditation, her body suddenly surged with an immense amount of vital energy. Her cheeks and lips, which had been pale due to the exhaustion of her vital energy, were now exceedingly rosy. Her entire demeanor subtly transformed.

When Su Yuxuan opened her eyes, they were particularly profound. Clearly, Su Yuxuan had finally succeeded in refining her own heart. Simultaneously, a prompt sounded in Ye Chen's mind.

"Su Yuxuan: One hundred times!"

Su Yuxuan's ratio had increased.

Ye Chen had already speculated about this improvement. Previously, when he gave the Eye of Destruction, Su Yuxuan's ratio did not increase.

First, because the Eye of Destruction did not enhance innate talent, being an attack Divine Ability. Second, because Su Yuxuan had transformed the Eye of Destruction into a spell.

This time, however, Su Yuxuan had directly used the Exquisite Heart as a heart. But was a fifty-fold increase too little? The Exquisite Heart should not be so underwhelming.

As he pondered this, Su Yuxuan had already stood up, ignoring Old Monster Wang's wails, and looked at Ye Chen with serious eyes, bowing slightly as she spoke, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for saving my life."

Ye Chen asked, "Did you inherit all the capabilities of the Exquisite Heart?"

Su Yuxuan shook her head, "After all, it's not my own heart. Even with a blood spirit root, it's impossible to inherit it perfectly. Both recovery and perceptual abilities have declined."

Ye Chen nodded, understanding the situation. Because it was not a perfect inheritance, the increase was only fifty-fold.

Su Yuxuan had more she wanted to say to Ye Chen. But at that moment, Old Monster Wang wailed and roared again, "Su Yuxuan, do you want your family to be completely obliterated?"

At that moment, Su Yuxuan's family, held in Old Monster Wang's grasp, were all wailing, pleading for mercy, and cursing at Su Yuxuan.

Hearing this, the corners of Su Yuxuan's mouth subtly curved upward. She slowly walked towards Old Monster Wang. Approaching the souls of her family, her expression complex as she looked at her loved ones.

Old Monster Wang immediately sighed in relief: "Make him stop, then enter the furnace immediately. Otherwise, with a single thought from me, your brother will have no chance of reincarnation."

Her physical body was destroyed, irrecoverable. At this moment, Old Monster Wang only wanted to possess Su Yuxuan's body. And Su Yuxuan's brother's soul was her only leverage.

However, Su Yuxuan did not move; she just quietly looked at her brother's soul.

Just as Old Monster Wang was about to rebuke her, she saw Su Yuxuan slowly extend her hand, touching her brother's ethereal head.

"Little brother, when our family wanted to sell me for money, you were the happiest, jumping up and down. Are you still happy now?"

In Su Yuxuan's hand, the little boy's soul trembled. Old Monster Wang's face changed, sensing something was amiss. The next moment, the boy's soul exploded with a loud bang.

Old Monster Wang's head shook, watching Su Yuxuan in disbelief. She knew her disciple was cunning. But she hadn't expected that Su Yuxuan, who was merely a mortal back then, had deceived her, leading her to always believe she could control Su Yuxuan.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

Su Yuxuan's gaze swept over. The other family members' souls also exploded in succession. She lowered her head, giving Old Monster Wang a pure smile: "There's no need to trouble you, Master. As for this body, Senior Brother quite likes it, so it's not convenient to give it to you, Master. In that case, I can only ask you to die..."

The next moment, Su Yuxuan's eyes emitted a red light. Two beams filled with a destructive aura burst forth.

In despair, Old Monster Wang was completely annihilated, both body and spirit.

Ye Chen stood there watching, curling his lips. Su Yuxuan had nearly died earlier, yet not a single honest word had left her mouth. That story about her brother trying to help her escape in the middle of the night—pure fiction. Sure enough, no matter the situation, not a single word from this little demoness could be trusted.

After killing her master, Su Yuxuan was visibly more relaxed. She cheerfully ran up to Ye Chen, looking up at him with sparkling eyes.

"Senior Brother, it's so wonderful that you're alive! I am so delighted."

Ye Chen replied perfunctorily, "Mm, mm, mm." In truth, he didn't believe a single word. He had a feeling that if he really had died, with how sturdy his body was, Su Yuxuan would've immediately used his corpse for refining without a hint of hesitation.

"My task is done. I'll be leaving shortly with the Green Cloud Sect elders and disciples. What about you? Planning to take over the Misty Sect and become the next Sect Master?"

Ye Chen asked casually, inquiring about her next move. But Su Yuxuan shook her head.

"I'll destroy the Misty Sect when I return. As for what comes next? How about I join Green Cloud Sect? That way, I can stay by Senior Brother's side forever."

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow at that. Su Yuxuan joining Green Cloud Sect? That actually didn't sound too bad. After all, her feedback ratio had reached one hundred times now.

Keeping her around might just give him a chance to offer up a kidney and trigger an even crazier critical hit. But this girl, her mouth was full of lies. Ye Chen wasn't so quick to trust.

Just then, a cold female voice echoed from all directions within the ruins: "Can't even live a few more years, yet still dreaming of love, clinging to some man and waiting to die? Is this what female cultivators have become?"

Ye Chen's expression shifted.

Someone was nearby? And he hadn't noticed at all?

Su Yuxuan also frowned, scanning the surroundings warily. In the next moment, the blood mist that had lingered in the ruins for many years began to churn like a torrential flood, swirling violently and forming a vortex before the two of them.

After a long while, the ruins gradually cleared. A phantom-like female figure emerged before them.

Ye Chen immediately narrowed his eyes. The figure was so illusory, it seemed as though a mere breeze could scatter her. And yet, an overwhelming sense of danger radiated from her presence.

Then, in the next instant, Ye Chen's eyes widened sharply. Because at that very moment, his system chimed in:

"Matching gift recipient detected."

"Manjusaka: Five hundred times!"

Five hundred times? Just a soul—and it already had five hundred times the multiplier? Even higher than Li Feihuang, who possessed both an Earth Spirit Root and the Fire Phoenix Spirit Body? And this was merely a soul. If she had a physical body, wouldn't that multiplier skyrocket instantly?

To Ye Chen, this was practically the perfect portable granny! Could a portable granny be gifted to someone else? If he gave her to Su Yuxuan, would he get feedback for a new portable granny with fifty thousand times the multiplier?

The idea alone stirred Ye Chen with excitement. He no longer cared whether this woman was a demonic overlord or held hostile intentions. This portable granny—he had to secure her.

Based on every cultivation novel he'd ever read in his previous life, these ancient powerhouses all wanted to restore their bodies and regain their strength. They all sought a genius to attach themselves to.

And he, Ye Chen, possessed the Heavenly Spirit Root, Heavy Pupils, the Primordial Supreme Heart, and the Myriad Star Body. In the entire cultivation world, who could possibly be more of a genius than him?

Even if she harbored ulterior motives and tried to possess him, he might actually consider just letting her. Who knew? It might even trigger a critical hit and grant him an Immortal Body.

Thus, standing before this future portable granny named Manjusaka, Ye Chen brimmed with confidence, convinced he could definitely win her over.

"Senior, do you wish to restore your physical body? I, Ye Chen, would be honored to lend you my aid."

However, the soul named Manjusaka stood loftily in midair, casting a cold glance down at him.

"Don't speak to me. Men are all scum."

Ye Chen froze. Then his fists clenched.

Damn it. Misandrist, huh?
