Villain Cultivator (Web Novel)

Chapter 480 – Big Rewards

"Oh!"

Miaomiao was excited. He rubbed his hands, pondering what he should pick.

Betraying Miaomiao's expectation, Venti turned to Ma Moxi first.

"You have already inherited the Azure Dragon Bloodline, but you don't have a proper cultivation method to make use of your blood and hidden power. How about this? Instead of giving you a pill or other rewards, I want you to become my disciple."

"Huh?"

Ma Moxi was surprised while Miaomiao was stunned.

"I also sense that your soul is carrying a soul-bound artifact of a Dao God. The more you're relying on it, the more you will lose your luck and providence power to that god. Let me severe that karma for you, and you can become a free man again."

Venti referred to the pagoda inside Ma Moxi's soul, which was the source of his golden finger.

Although Ma Moxi was shocked that Venti had discovered his secrets, his expression was unchanged.

Not wanting to part with such an important treasure, Ma Moxi shook his head, "I'm sorry. I have to decline your offer."

"If you're worrying that I'm taking advantage of you, you're wrong. I have several better treasures that can replace that pagoda."

"But I…" Ma Moxi was still reluctant. The Heaven and Earth Pagoda in his soul had many uses, such as automatic pill making, being an endless source of Element Qi, and the stealth skill.

He grew up with it. It wasn't easy for Ma Moxi to suddenly abandon his godlike treasure.

"You know what? How about I give you a ticket for you and your family to move to my constellation? My district belongs to a Divine Dragon Realm, and the spiritual Qi is a million times denser than all Pylon Towers in this world can produce in a thousand years. By moving to my world, you and your family can easily ascend. You don't have to abandon that Pagoda if you don't want to."

Ma Moxi frowned. It was obvious that Venti wanted to rope him in.

As Ma Moxi was about to object, Uriel also advised him.

"Take his offer, Ma Moxi. Your karma is now strictly tied with the Azure Dragon Race since you consumed the remnant soul of an Azure Dragon. Venti doesn't mean harm. He wants to protect you from opportunistic Dao Gods and the owner of your treasure. Venti and his kin can also nurture you and protect you from Samsara's men. If you keep staying in a mortal world, Samsara's underlings or various greedy gods will eventually descend and hunt you and your family down to steal that treasure. Do you want to implicate Miaomiao and the innocent people of Siren City?"

Ma Moxi was speechless. Although he didn't know who Samsara was, he figured that he might be some deities that he accidentally offended by consuming a divine pill.

Ma Moxi wryly smiled. He looked at Miaomiao and fell into deep thought.

It didn't take long for him to make his decision.

"Can I bring my family and everyone from Siren City with me?"

Venti nodded, "Yes. You can bring the entire city to my realm if you want-"

Uriel immediately interjected, "Umm, that can't be done. The city belongs to Mao Miaomiao. He's under the protection of Macho Joshua and the Devil. He needs to perform various tasks for us."

"That mortal hunting jobs that I always heard about? The gods and immortals are making a big fuss out of it."

"…Yes."

Miaomiao's ears perked again. It appeared that the protagonist hunting quests were not a secret in the Heaven Realm since both of them knew about it.

"Since when has Joshua and Devil stoops so low that you have to rely on a mortal assassin to do your job?"

"I'm ashamed, but it has to be done."

Venti rolled his eyes, "Fine. Ma Moxi, you're only allowed to bring 100 people with you. Also, I'll teach them the Dragonion Cultivation Method. Make sure to bring those who are aspired to inherit a dragon's bloodline, not a wuss."

Ma Moxi heaved a sigh of relief, "Thank you, senior."

"Also, that red gem that you swallowed, spit it out. If you accidentally digest it, you'll get into big trouble. You might suffer from Qi Deviation."

"… Whoops."

Ma Moxi immediately vomited the red gem out.

Fortunately, the gem was still intact. His digestive fluid and his Qi failed to dissolve it.

Venti retrieved the red gem and injected his Qi into it. Then, the gem transformed into a pair of crimson modern pistols.

However, the guns didn't need a physical bullet. They were beam guns with a round cartridge at the center, similar to a revolver. The cartridge was loaded with solid liquid, which worked like a pseudo dantian or energy storage.

"I saw you used these things in your dream world. I imitated it for you. You can use your Dragon Qi to charge the cartridge. When you pull the trigger, it will unleash the power of a dragon's breath. Consider these as the rewards from winning the third game."

"… Wow!"

…

Meanwhile, the live-stream chat was wild.

Ding

<Tilted Hongjun is dissatisfied with Uriel and Venti for attempting to steal his vessel.>

<Tilted Hongjun urges you to persuade Ma Moxi to stay.>

<Sun Wu finds Venti and Uriel annoying.>

<The Swan Goddess complains to Macho Joshua for the preferential treatments.>

<Macho Joshua mocks the Swan Goddess for not sending an agent to Aves Continent.>

<Kunwu is happy for Ma Moxi.>

<Many Dragons are interested in Ma Moxi's bloodline and his talent.>

<Tilted Hongjun is filing a complaint to the Dragon God for recruiting his vessel.>

<Breaking News, The popcorn business is booming in Macho Joshua's Constellations.>

<The Anonymous Devil is hoarding several tons of popcorns for himself.>

<The Monkey King files a complaint to Macho Joshua as he couldn't buy a bag of popcorns.>

<Several Porn-Loving Immortals are complaining that Miaomiao hasn't had sex in a long while.>

'So noisy.'

One of the reasons why Miaomiao rarely paid attention to the viewer chat was this. They tended to flex or react to nonsense. Sometimes, their actions were irrelevant to his daily life.

Miaomiao understood Hongjun's feelings. Obviously, he would feel annoyed when someone tried to steal his vessel.

Still, sending Ma Moxi to the higher realm wouldn't hurt Miaomiao. He might come back as a god since he was a protagonist – Getting fortuitous encounters left and right was his nature.

He gazed at the new portal, which Venti had created. Ma Moxi bid them farewell and returned to Siren City to inform his friends, wives, and family.

"Your turn, Miaomiao," Uriel reminded Miaomiao that he hadn't picked his rewards yet.

Miaomiao stopped daydreaming. He bashfully grinned, "What can I get from the trial, seniors?"

"I already gave you the lightning dragon pill. As for the red gem…"

Uriel wondered if he should craft a divine weapon for Miaomiao since the latter had already received a lot of attention and prizes.

But Venti had another idea.

"Brat, you seem to be collecting dragon bloodlines. Am I right?"

Miaomiao repeatedly nodded.

Venti continued to question him, "I can smell a Fire Dragon, a Wood Dragon, and a Metal Dragon from you. The Fire Dragon scent is quite faint since you're cultivating the Holy Flame Element instead of the Dragon Fire."

"Is it wrong to cultivate a compound element instead of the Dragon Fire?"

"It's the opposite! Dragon Elements are not compatible with half-ass dragonewts, draconian, mutants, or dragon-wannabes. If you keep cultivating too many Dragon Elements, you will eventually go insane. I'm kinda relieved that you switched to Holy Flame instead of Dragon Fire."

"…"

Miaomiao glanced at Uriel. It seemed that Devil and Macho Joshua's advice was legit.

"And also, what the fuck, Stupid Droid! Why are you giving him a lightning dragon pill? Are you trying to kill him? I hope you didn't put a lightning dragon's soul in that pill!" Venti turned to Uriel, but the latter shrugged.

"I need to accelerate his growth. His cultivation speed is too slow for our standard. A sacrificial soul is needed."

"His foundation is already monstrous for a human!"

"Again, he's too weak for OUR STANDARD!"

Venti narrowed his eyes as he looked at Uriel. Then, he shook his head and changed the topic.

"Don't blame me if your boy goes mad."

"He won't."

"Alright. Very well, then. Since your superior is so confident of your talent," Venti sized up Miaomiao once again. A moment later, his sight stopped at Miaomiao's crotch area.

"Say, brat."

"Yes, senior?"

"I see so many love and lust karma strands tangling on you. I can tell that you're a depraved monkey."

"Thank you for your compliment."

"Before I bless you with my bloodline, let me warn you something."

"Yes?"

"First, don't eat that fucking lightning dragon pill. Give it to someone else or your wife with a lightning affinity."

"O-Okay."

Uriel snorted in frustration. Yet, he didn't object to Venti.

"Secondly, don't fuck a dragon."

"… Pardon?"

"I really mean it. NEVER.FUCK.A.DRAGON."

"But why?"

"They're possessive. They will kill your wives and concubines to monopolize you."

"… I'll keep that in mind."

Miaomiao had goosebumps, imagining a scenario of a female dragon running rampant in his city.

Having so many wives was already tiring. If he got himself a Yandere Dragon wife, he might be imprisoned in some dragon caves for the rest of eternity.

"Anyway, time for your rewards. What should I give you? Hey, Nosy Droid! Is my bloodline enough?"

Uriel nodded, "If you can, please do."

Venti sneered. He then bit the tip of his tongue and spat it out.

The blood essence of Venti floated in front of Miaomiao. However, it contained powerful Sea Dragon, Storm Dragon, Lightning Dragon, and Spirit Dragon Element inside.

The tyrannical power of the Azure Dragon's Blood Essence scared Miaomiao. From a glance, he could tell that consuming it would instantly kill him.

His dantian might not be able to contain its energy!

"I see that you understand your limits," Venti sneered and revealed his true identity. "Let me introduce myself again. I'm Venti Luminous, the 7th Price of the Heavenly Dragon Court! Be grateful that I'm offering you my blood essence. If it isn't for the Devil's favor, I would have killed both you and Ma Moxi as soon as I detected your deeds!"

Discovering Venti's true identity, Miaomiao knelt and kowtowed to Venti by reflex. Since dealing with a prideful dragon price might be difficult, he pretended to be submissive, "Thank you for your mercy and your blessing. I will never forget this favor."

"It's good that you know the position you're in. I'll refine my blood essence into four pills. Once you're an immortal, you should be able to consume one or two of them. Oh, don't look down on these pills since it contains dragon elements. You can't compare them to mediocre Wind Dragon or Water Dragon! And also…"

Venti pulled a scale from his tail and crushed it to powder. Then, he directed them into Miaomiao's lungs!

"!!!"

"You are harboring too much impurity from cultivating Dragon Elements. As I said before, humans can't possibly handle Dragon Elements. This will solve the impurity issue and get rid of the dark aura's roots."

Miaomiao accidentally inhaled the powdered dragon's scale. He coughed and wheezed as if he was dying from pneumonia.

BADUMP

Suddenly, his blood and Qi resonated to the powder in his lungs. His Qi reached out to them and instantly digested everything.

Miaomiao's pupils turned blue like the clear sky and the sea. His breath emitted the warm wind of spring, and his blood cells automatically consumed excess Life Essence to increase their longevity.

He clenched his chest for a while. A minute later, Miaomiao had a feeling that his body shrank a bit. In exchange, the dark fluid of the hidden impurity in the Dragon Element Qi came out from his pores. A layer of skin fell off from his body also.

After shedding several layers of impurity skin and fluid, Miaomiao reverted back to a flawless handsome teenager. The demonic aura of an incubus was gone, replaced with the dignified aura of nature.

Yet, the dark aura inside Miaomiao resurfaced. It coiled around him, trying to replace the nature energy.

The sinister energy was no longer suppressed. It threatened Miaomiao to steal his body!

"Yeah, it comes out."

Both Venti and Uriel sighed as they had expected it.

Venti pointed his finger at Miaomiao's forehead. Then, he imparted a technique to him.

"I'll teach you how to tame that dark aura and compound elements, especially Holy-related elements. Before you can take in another dragon bloodline, you must replace the Dragon Elements with compound elements with Holy Element as the core! Only then, you can tame or sever the evil karma within you!"
