Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

"Of course, I just need to warn you the process is very painful," William then tells Alex how he does it.

He uses mana to destroy his own fat, and then he takes Aetheric essence to cure his body.

The process is done over and over again; afterward, he starts cultivating and raises his realm, making sure there are no lingering wounds in the process.

"Interesting. How do you know which fat to burn or not?"

"I asked for Prof Faerith's help; she felt interested in my biology, as she said. Afterward, she helped me with the process. I hope that won't be any trouble."

"No, it's not, but next time, don't tell anyone you are a different species, even people in this building, outside of those who already know. Anyway, who told you to go to Faerith?"

"Ah, it's your sister Emily. I was asking for a second opinion on my idea, and she suggested I go to her."

Alex sighed while he thought, 'At least it's Faerith.' He then asked William why he was looking for him.

"Can I go with you? You should understand my purpose for coming with you."

"No, I get you want something to do to take your mind off what happened, but I am sorry I cannot bring you with me."

Seeing William's dejected face, Alex sighed, "How about this: you are experienced as a merchant. I will give you some capital to try to build a business here as you continue your cultivation and try to adapt to this place.

You are still new here; have you gone around the city yet?"

"Not yet. But I can do what you told me."

"Alright, I will send a message to Emily to prepare what you need," Alex replied. They then had some more exchanges before William left.

Seeing the man's lonely back, Alex's gaze turned complicated; he has seen how Roxy and William interact with each other.

As he was deep in thought, a familiar voice reverberated in his mind, 'Hey Alex, sorry it took a while, but I am ready now.'

'Ah, MingYue, no problem. So what movie did you watch?'

'Some superhero movie, Ender Game or something. I have watched all the movies before it; the movie is good despite many of its flaws.'

'Oh, you mean the one where the villain should have just snapped all the heroes out of existence?'

'Yeah, or the hero. Honestly, they could just use the snap to make himself immortal before snapping again to kill the villain; what a useless sacrifice.'

Alex let out a chuckle, 'How are things in Bai Yue sect? Is everything prepared?'

'No problem, except that some people now got addicted to watching movies. My brother also keeps asking me what place this movie was recorded in; he's starting to become fond of the tinman hero now.'

'You haven't told him about this world?'

'He has to earn it; my world is brutal enough for him to live in now. Let him focus on his current situation. Knowing that the immortal everyone worships is insignificant will just put more pressure on him.'

'I see…'

'On a more positive note, we have opened our first restaurant in Dali City; today should be its first opening. I wonder how the result is.'

'What is on the menu?'

'It's a standard noodle shop, but with some touch from your world.'

'Well, as long as you use the spice and MSG, I am sure it will be a hit. Anyway, I think we should go now. Are you ready?'

MingYue turned silent for a moment; she was now in front of her home, taking a deep breath. Her beating heart turns calm when she opens her eyes, now filled with determination.

A few days ago, she had talked with her master. They had a more in-depth talk about what happened, her parents, the pendant they left, and her thoughts on the matter.

Xue Fang then looked at the pendant; despite MingYue being stronger than she is now, she still had more experience than MingYue.

She hopes Xue Fang could give more clues about them, like the origin or whether this has a similar symbol to some family.

"I don't know, MingYue, I have never seen anything like this before. But a phoenix and a dragon, I suggest you check the Long and Feng clans.

The Long Clan has dragon bloodline in them; as for the Feng Clan, they have phoenix.

I've heard rumors; they are quite powerful in the central region, that anything that has a symbol related to these two ancient beasts must get their approval. But I suggest being subtle when you check on them."

"Thank you, master. It's decided then; next, I will go to the central region."

The central region is a place filled with monsters, where many geniuses die every day. Only those immortal and heaven-chosen could spread their wings while the rest become their stepping stones.

'Heaven-chosen, immortal, in the end, they all are nothing in front of progenitors.' MingYue repeated in her mind, convincing herself that she could compete with them.

'Vesa.' Alex and MingYue both said in their minds.

As if on cue, red fog came out from their bodies at the same time; it started coalescing, turning into twelve runes, and the runes started moving in a circle.

This reminded Alex of the outer gate, although the one carved there is certainly not a rune.

The runes then started moving in motion, starting slow and then going faster as they glowed green.

Swosh… swosh…

The area in the middle started distorting as if the fabric of reality itself had been pulled apart. Like a mirror, it then shattered into many pieces, leaving behind a portal.

Alex and MingYue then took the same step and entered the new realm.

Vesa was looking at this from Edonia; its lips curled into a grin, showing its row of teeth with two pointed fangs.

"Finally, the hunt begins. Master, just wait; I will show it to everyone that your decision is the right one. Those stupid people don't know what they are doing."
