My Villain's System

Lin Xian had no idea Wei Lan was making certain plans against him. He continued absorbing the energy within the herbs as fast as he could. According to his calculations, he would absorb the herbs in not even two days like Wei Lan had said in the way the system had told him to.

Time is ticking. After absorbing the herbs for 10 hours, Lin Xian's body shook slightly. It also hears notifications from the system.

[Host Has Breakthrough Fifth Stage of Spirit Realm]

Lin Xian constantly absorbed energy and didn't pay too much attention to system notifications.

After another 10 hours, the same thing happened again.

[Host Has Breakthrough Six Stage of Spirit Realm]

Lin Xian was getting excited because the herbs he held still had a lot of energy to help him break through to the next stage.

Another 10 hours passed, and the system notification sound sounded again.

[Host Has Breakthrough Seventh Stage of Spirit Realm]

Lin Xian didn't stop because there was still quite a bit of energy within the herbs. He knew that the amount of energy would not be able to allow him to break through another stage.

On the other hand, Wei Lan kept looking at Lin Xian, who was absorbing the energy within the herbs.

"Looks like only three stages, Lin Xian was able to increase his cultivation with those herbs. Seeing that makes me even more curious about Lin Xian's Profound Vein. For a cultivator of Lin Xian's level, those herbs could increase cultivation by more than five to six stages; for me, it could be three. Up to four stages."

"I predicted this too, and that's why I feel Lin Xian was only able to break through three to four stages with those herbs," Wei Lan thought as she looked at Lin Xian with a smile.

Not long after, Lin Xian finished absorbing all the herbs. He opened his eyes with a smile and didn't need to stabilize his cultivation because the effects of the herbs were very light for the Villain God's Profound Veins.

"It won't take long for you to catch up to mine, Xian'er," Wei Lan said.

"Hehehe, you better work harder, Wei. I won't lose to you. And neither with Liu Xue." Lin Xian replied with a confident smile.

"Hmmm, you've gotten arrogant just because of that. Just looking ahead, you'll never surpass my cultivation!" snorted Wei Lan.

Lin Xian chuckled at the woman's irritated face. "How long have I been cultivating?" Lin Xian asked.

"1 day, 7 hours," replied Wei Lan, who still had an annoyed face.

"Don't frown, Wei; your pretty face disappears. If you put on a face like that," Lin Xian teased.

Wei Lan had a hint of blush on her cheeks and glared at Lin Xian intensely.

"Looks like you've learned to flirt with women," Wei Lan said with a smile, and her aura leaked out a bit.

Lin Xian gulped, seeing Wei Lan being so inconsistent all the time. Before he could reply to Wei Lan's words, Wei Lan appeared in front of him and punched him in the head.

BUGH!

"Ouch! What are you doing, damn it!" Lin Xian shouted while holding his head.

"Hmmm, think for yourself!" snorted Wei Lan.

Lin Xian was speechless by the unreasonable nature of the woman in front of him at this moment.

"I'll be out in a day or so to look for information," Wei Lan disappeared immediately after saying that without waiting for Lin Xian's reply.

A long curse escaped Lin Xian's mouth, and he ignored the woman. He immediately began to meditate again to increase his cultivation because it would not take long for him to break through to the next stage.

Wei Lan was currently moving in a certain direction which was the direction of the Wu Pyramid. He had always felt that there was something special about the Wu Pyramid.

After a while, he gathered information that every city has the same Pyramid at the center of the city. And only four very large Pyramids are located in 4 Cities. Two cities are on the same continent, and two others are on another.

Upon reaching the Wu Pyramid, Wei Lan immediately moved toward the center of the Wu Pyramid.

While approaching the Center, Wei Lan stopped in her tracks. "What is this? What a powerful energy," Wei Lan thought.

Near the center of the Wu Pyramid was a strange energy spreading in all directions.

Wei Lan slowly drew closer to the center of the Wu Pyramid. After approaching, he stopped while gazing into the distance.

In the distance, countless individuals gathered at the center of the Wu Pyramid. However, what surprised Wei Lan was a strange thing at the center of the Wu Pyramid.

"What's that?" Wei Lan was speechless seeing this strange thing; it didn't make any sense.

However, when Wei Lan recovered from her shock, one of the individuals there felt Wei Lan's presence.

"That's bad!" Wei Lan thought, and she immediately moved to retreat from that place.

The individual who was originally looking at Wei Lan frowned slightly.

"What is it?" Ask another individual.

"I felt someone's presence before, and it suddenly disappeared," replied the individual who had looked at Wei Lan earlier.

Some of them frowned at that answer.

"It looks like someone is spying on us. Let's leave first because cultivators might be coming here," another individual suggested.

They all numbered seven individuals. They were all elders of a large clan resided in Wuxianle, which ruled over a continent.

They all nodded because it would be troublesome if the ruler of Wu-Lang City found out they were trying to take the object at the center of Pyramid Wu.

The seven individuals instantly disappeared from the venue after agreeing to postpone the plan.

On the other hand, Wei Lan Returned to where Lin Xian was. He was thinking hard about how it could be in the Pyramids of Wu.

Wei Lan saw a rock-growing flower that gave off strange energy. The flower was nearly five meters tall, and it could be seen growing from within the Wu Pyramid.

"Such a pyramid's contents were what all cultivators wished for before. There's no way a flower could grow from within the Pyramid," Wei Lan whispered while on her way to the inn.

"Soon, I will uncover the secret kept in the pyramid," thought Wei Lan.

At the inn, Wei Lan saw Lin Xian, who was still meditating. "Don't push yourself to increase your cultivation, Xian'er..." Wei Lan said.

Lin Xian woke up and looked at the woman who had only been out for a few hours; unlike what she said, she would be out for a day looking for information.

"Then what should I do if I don't cultivate?" Lin Xian asked in astonishment.

"Learn other techniques for lying down because cultivation alone will not be enough. If you meet opponents on par with you regarding cultivation," Wei Lan said.
